00:00:23.380 Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Rebel News live stream on this, a Friday, January 31st,
00:00:35.780 2025. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a bit about my co-host, shall I?
00:00:42.580 Do you know, folks, today is National Gorilla Suit Day, and I asked my co-host if she was going to
00:00:49.740 celebrate it with me. And she said, you're not going to make a monkey out of me. She is the
00:00:56.200 she-devil with a sword. She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is the sensational
00:01:02.820 Sheila Gunn-Reed. And Sheila, before you say anything, because it is National Gorilla Suit
00:01:10.780 Day, I've got Olivia to play a little excerpt of one of the most awesome pieces of music of all time.
00:01:17.600 It's Rick Dees and his usual cast of idiots doing Disco-rilla. I say, if the Smithsonian
00:01:25.640 Institute in Washington wanted to get an example of peak cheesiness in the 70s, it is this video.
00:01:36.980 Check it out, folks. Rick Dees singing Disco-rilla.
00:01:40.220 Disco-rilla, lady killer. Disco-rilla goes like a villain. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla.
00:02:03.220 Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla. Disco-rilla.
00:02:11.260 That's about all I can take on an empty stomach. But, you know, Sheila, look at the size of those
00:02:17.020 lapels, for one thing. There's a part of the video. Pardon me? You can take flight. You need an air
00:02:23.720 traffic controller with those lapels. Unbelievable. And those stupid big eight paws, because you know what,
00:02:31.240 kids, you don't know how good you have it with CGI. I mean, that's what we had to put up with.
00:02:37.700 That was the best we could do. It was. And now, jeez, I remember 1994, I went to Jurassic Park. I
00:02:43.500 almost jumped out of my seat. I thought that was a real T-Rex coming out of the screen at me.
00:02:47.980 And Sheila, one last thing on National Gorilla Suit Day. It is my dream. Well, you know, one of my
00:02:54.860 dreams, if I ever win Lotto 649 FU money, it's to buy a Batmobile. The second dream is to hire 500
00:03:04.680 people. I'll pay them a thousand bucks an hour. They will be in professional gorilla suits. We'll go
00:03:09.940 to Young Dundas Square. I'll rent it for three or four hours and get Rick Dees out of retirement to
00:03:16.400 sing Disco-rilla on an endless loop. And then we'll just go running down Yonge Street, terrifying
00:03:21.860 people. Or maybe Trontonians are, would probably be immune to people in gorilla suits or even
00:03:28.160 gorillas on the streets these days. Who knows? But anyways, that is my dream, Sheila Gunn-Reed.
00:03:34.600 You know, you are a strange and unusual man, David Menzies. It's also, I'm actually shocked that you
00:03:42.360 didn't pick the fact that it's National Fun at Work Day. And every day is fun when I get to work with
00:03:49.340 you, David Menzies. And I mean that sincerely, I'm not being smug. Don't read anything into my tone
00:03:55.640 there. But it's also National Hug an Economist Day. And we have a far left wing economist trying to
00:04:04.300 replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. And today he made an early morning announcement. I say early
00:04:10.080 morning because it was like seven o'clock in the morning, Alberta time, when he said that he's going to
00:04:14.840 scrap the carbon tax. Mr. Mark Carney, the guy who complained that the Canadian carbon tax was not
00:04:21.380 high enough, advocates for a global carbon tax, says that he is going to do away with the carbon tax
00:04:27.240 that he has advised the liberals on for the better part of half a decade and do something slightly
00:04:34.980 different. So he's going to get rid of the consumer carbon tax and replace it with another carbon tax.
00:04:39.740 He's going to move it, move it upstream. And so it's not directly coming out of your pocket, but it
00:04:47.420 will be built into the supply chain. So it's he's just moving it upstream and you'll still get hit with
00:04:54.960 it. Like the question is, how much money will you save? The answer is nothing. It's a shell game. And
00:05:01.480 Sheila, while DEI, thank goodness for the election of Donald Trump, it's on its way out. And of course,
00:05:08.160 just for simple market share purposes, companies are having their come to Jesus moment that might
00:05:14.440 not be a good idea to hire a transvestite or what have you to market something that appeals to a macho
00:05:21.940 demographic. But some companies that are supposedly getting rid of their DEI programs, yeah, they are,
00:05:29.980 but they bring in some other kind of whiz bang initialism, which is DEI. So you got to really watch these
00:05:38.560 cats. I say that in relation to Kearney, there will be some other kind of, you know, climate tide tax or
00:05:46.240 levy. And to your original question. Environment and sustainable goals, it'll be ESG or something like that.
00:05:51.320 Exactly. Exactly. So you got to be very careful. And to your original query about why you were
00:05:56.420 surprised I did not mention, uh, have fun at work day. I was originally going to pursue that. And I
00:06:03.660 went over to one of our employees here at rebel news headquarters. And she reminded me that me too is
00:06:11.120 still in effect. Anyway, take it away, Sheila. What are we trying to do here?
00:06:17.260 What are we trying to do here? Part of my job is just try to keep us on YouTube.
00:06:25.020 But, uh, this is the rebel news live stream. It's on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are the first work
00:06:30.140 day of the week, Wednesday and Friday, uh, wherein we talk about the news of the day, completely
00:06:34.220 unscripted. Are you picking that up by now? Um, and it gives us a chance to interact with you directly.
00:06:40.280 So if you are watching us on the censorship platform of YouTube, thank you for sticking it out
00:06:45.160 there. We realized that there are 1.7 million sets of your eyeballs there and you prefer to watch us
00:06:50.760 there. So we appreciate that we continue to broadcast there, but there are some things that
00:06:55.440 we cannot talk about on YouTube. So if you want the full uncensored version of rebel news, and you
00:07:03.620 want to be able to support the work that we do here at rebel news out of the goodness of your heart,
00:07:07.780 because you want, you believe in the little network that could head on over to rumble.
00:07:12.840 The user interface is a lot similar to what YouTube has. So it's a, it's very similar to what you're
00:07:19.340 already accustomed to. And they allow you to support our work through something called a rumble rant.
00:07:26.180 That's their paid chat. If you leave us one of those on today's show, and if it's over the $5 us cutoff,
00:07:33.280 we are obligating ourselves to read it on air, but don't let that be the bar for entry. As I say,
00:07:39.580 every time I host the show, we frequently read the chats that fall under that, or even the free
00:07:43.920 chats, if they're interesting or funny. Um, we do our best to make time for you because you make time
00:07:49.420 for us. Um, but David, I'm letting you know right now, I sort of have a hard stop at about, uh, 12,
00:07:55.580 15 our time. So we can't go too late today. Bless you, Sheila. I I'm in a similar boat.
00:08:00.740 Okay. Perfect. So, uh, without further ado, as they say, um, why don't we get to the thing that's
00:08:07.240 on everyone's minds? Um, you know, December 24th is Christmas Eve, January 31st this year is what
00:08:14.380 potentially tariff Eve. Uh, tomorrow is one of the dates floated. Although, you know, Sheila,
00:08:20.040 uh, didn't get a lot of publicity, but I heard Danielle Smith interviewed on the radio about two
00:08:26.500 weeks ago and she was adamant that Trump misspoke about the, uh, the deadline. She said it was April
00:08:34.160 1st. Uh, evidently she saw something I think in writing. Um, but she was saying February 1st is
00:08:40.540 wrong, but whether it's February 1st, April 1st, um, we think they're potentially coming and even that's
00:08:48.060 not a certainty, but why don't we, uh, get right to, um, president Trump himself talking about the 25%
00:08:57.180 tariff on Canadian goods that he says is indeed coming. Let's check it out.
00:09:04.060 We'll be announcing the, uh, tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a number of reasons. Number one is the
00:09:12.180 people that are poured into our country so horribly and so much. Number two are the drugs, fentanyl and
00:09:17.740 everything else that have come into the country. And number three are the massive, uh, subsidies that
00:09:22.980 we're giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form of deficits. And I'll be, uh, putting the tariff of
00:09:30.360 25% on Canada and separately 25% on Mexico. And we will really have to do that because we have very big
00:09:38.720 deficits with those countries. Those tariffs may or may not rise with time.
00:09:43.500 Mr. President, oil is going to have nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. Oil has nothing
00:09:51.240 to do with it. Mr. President. Sheila, here's where I weigh in even now on potentially the 11th hour.
00:09:59.720 Is this a valid threat that tariffs are going to be coming, that they will be 25% regardless of the date?
00:10:08.720 Or is this a ploy by, uh, president Trump? This is the man who wrote the book, the art of the deal,
00:10:15.780 uh, to leverage Canada, to do a pressure play, a power play to get things that he wants. Put another
00:10:23.120 way, Sheila, uh, a week Sunday will be the Superbowl. It is the Eagles and the Kansas city chiefs. Um,
00:10:30.540 on paper, I think the Philadelphia Eagles have a better team, but here's the deal.
00:10:34.560 So would anyone right now in the right mind bet against the chiefs? So I'm not placing a wager
00:10:40.700 on either of those teams. I wouldn't bet for or against this. Your thoughts.
00:10:46.640 Uh, I think Trump is serious about the tariffs. I think Alberta is going to escape them by the way.
00:10:52.060 Um, good. And, and yeah, I mean, one part of this economy has to stay afloat. Uh, if,
00:10:58.620 if you people want nice things, Albertans have to continue to work. Um, but I mean,
00:11:06.600 the ball is really in our court, you know, why, why are we headed to a terror for when all we had to do
00:11:13.840 was secure the border and deal with the trafficking of humans, guns, and drugs back and forth. And
00:11:19.860 it's not one way it's going back and forth. And we have become a bit of a net exporter of terrorism
00:11:25.360 these days. Thanks to Justin Trudeau's out of control immigration and his failure to vet to
00:11:30.780 these people who are coming into our country and then staging terror plots against our American friends.
00:11:36.380 We haven't been the best of neighbors lately. Um, and all we had to do was do something that would
00:11:44.020 be in the best interests of Canadians. And we are, uh, for some reason, unwilling to do those things.
00:11:50.400 But, but, you know, Sheila, you're kind of making my point on the border. For example, um,
00:11:55.820 your province, my province, the federal government, they have invested several millions ever since the
00:12:03.060 announcement of potential tariffs. So there is traction at long last. I mean, they should have
00:12:09.140 done it years ago, of course, even for our own domestic security. So just the whiff of the mention
00:12:16.880 of a tariff coming has got them going. And maybe what Justin Trudeau should do, because I know this is
00:12:23.360 a big bugaboo when it comes to Canada and so many other countries in the NATO umbrella is putting our fair
00:12:31.140 share of our GDP into NATO funding. Trudeau announced that we will go up to the appropriate
00:12:38.040 level by 2032. No, no, no, no, no. That's seven years from now. Uh, not a chance. I think, uh, a bold
00:12:47.260 statement by the Trudeau liberals to ward off these tariffs is to proactively say, you know, Mr. Trump,
00:12:54.320 starting this year, uh, we are going to, you know, contribute X amount of our GDP to our NATO
00:13:01.920 obligations. And so should we, uh, Sheila, I mean, why, why should all the European countries and
00:13:08.540 everyone else in NATO expect America to do the heavy lifting on defending their continent?
00:13:16.540 Yeah, no, I, I completely agree with that. Um, let's actually move ahead to, cause Daniel Smith sort
00:13:23.180 of talks about this a little bit later on about, uh, the things that we could do to signal to Trump
00:13:28.440 if we were willing to do them. Uh, however, as you've seen, Justin Trudeau has, uh, appointed a
00:13:35.480 bunch of anti-oil lunatics to, uh, and anti-Trumpers to negotiate with the Trump administration. Again,
00:13:44.080 notice, you know what required reading with the Trudeau cabinet should be the art of the deal,
00:13:50.320 but I bet absolutely none of them have read it or even listened to a portion of the audio book.
00:13:55.520 They just, they refuse to know who they're dealing with and to learn. Um, but Trump says his decision
00:14:02.820 for tariffs on Canadian oil isn't yet final. And this is why I think we're not going to get tariffed
00:14:09.620 is because he mentions the price and, uh, we sell at a price cheaper than what they can produce
00:14:16.620 because of our forced monopoly monopoly, monopoly, I think it's called, uh, with, uh, the Americans
00:14:23.120 because Justin Trudeau wouldn't allow export pipelines. So we don't have world price. We have
00:14:27.380 one, uh, foreign buyer, it's the Americans. And so we have to sell that to, at an absolute fire sale
00:14:34.140 price. So, uh, let's listen to what Trump has to say on that on Canada and Mexico, 25% that's coming
00:14:42.500 on Saturday. It's coming on the first Saturday, no oil tariff, no oil tariffs. No, I don't. Well,
00:14:49.900 I didn't say that. You said that. No, no, we may or may not. We're going to make that determination
00:14:55.760 probably tonight on oil. Yeah. Because they send us oil. We'll see. It depends on what the price is.
00:15:01.760 If the oil is properly priced, if they treat us properly, which they don't look, Mexico and Canada
00:15:08.340 have never been good to us on trade. They've treated us very unfairly on trade. And we will,
00:15:14.480 uh, be able to make that up very quickly because we don't need the products that they have. We have
00:15:19.040 all the oil you need. We have all the trees you need, meaning the lumber. We have more than almost
00:15:25.080 anybody. And those two categories in oil, we have more than anybody. And we don't need anybody's
00:15:30.200 trees. We have to free up some of the, uh, some of the tree areas that we have. We have great lumber
00:15:35.580 in this country. We have to free them up environmentally, which I can do very quickly,
00:15:39.240 but we don't need what they have. And for us to be subsidizing Canada to the tune of $175 billion a
00:15:47.740 year and subsidizing Mexico to the tune of $250 billion, $300 billion a year. And Mexico is a method
00:15:56.280 of China sending in its product. And with China, I'm also thinking about something because they're
00:16:01.200 sending fentanyl into our country. And because of that, they're causing us hundreds of thousands
00:16:06.700 of deaths. So China is going to end up paying a tariff also for that. And we're in the process
00:16:11.840 of doing that. We'll make that determination of what it's going to be. But China has to stop
00:16:18.120 sending fentanyl into our country and killing our people. Golly, Sheila, don't you wish we could
00:16:25.400 really speed up the liberal leadership campaign and anoint Chrystia Freeland? Because according to her,
00:16:32.780 Trump is afraid of her. Right. Right. I don't know. I'm slightly afraid to get too close to her. She
00:16:40.580 seems like she's got some sort of crisis happening at all times. She's just always just gyrating and
00:16:48.380 freaking out. But Trump says something there that's not entirely true. First of all,
00:16:56.860 they don't have more oil than anybody in the world. That's not true. Canada has the third largest proven
00:17:03.200 reserves, more than the United States. And American refineries right now are the ones that are being
00:17:09.940 fed by Canadian oil are fitted to take heavy oil. And so you can get heavy oil right now from three
00:17:19.100 places. The Americans can access it, you know, generally speaking, from three places. Venezuela.
00:17:26.900 And I doubt they're going to want that. Nope. They have an oil field in Utah that has heavy oil,
00:17:34.120 although it is not even remotely anywhere near scale. Or we've got a ton of it we'd love to
00:17:39.840 sell you for next to nothing from Alberta. So you've got you've got American refinery jobs
00:17:45.960 that are at risk if you don't take Canadian oil. Right. And and also, if you don't have that supply
00:17:54.620 and you don't have those refineries going and the price of fuel jumps, you know, a buck a gallon in
00:18:02.500 the Midwest, Trump doesn't want that. He said, if it's priced right, and they're treating us fairly,
00:18:08.320 well, we are doing that. And I think that's his signal that we're going to escape those tariffs.
00:18:13.560 You know, folks, when it comes to oil, Sheila is my go to gal. She just everything you want to know
00:18:20.520 about oil. Sheila Gunn-Reed knows. Well, no, I just pay attention. I just pay attention. I'm from
00:18:27.140 Alberta. My family's in the oil patch. So, you know, if he wants to protect American workers,
00:18:34.480 so do I. And by protecting American workers, you also protect Canadian workers by and large here in
00:18:40.760 the West. And so I think because he mentioned he's concerned about, you know, if it's priced fairly,
00:18:47.420 well, we're selling it at a reduced rate. It's obviously priced fairly. I think that's his tip
00:18:52.760 of the hat that our oil and gas will likely escape the tariffs that Doug Ford is, I guess,
00:18:58.800 welcoming upon himself because he cozied up to Justin Trudeau. You know, he's going to fight back
00:19:03.880 by banning Kentucky bourbon. So take that, America. And catch up from his own riding. Catch up from his
00:19:11.260 own riding. Unbelievable. No, Sheila, we talked about tomorrow, February 1st. And then I mentioned
00:19:18.120 what Premier Smith said. It's really April 1st. But I see Olivia's put up something breaking news.
00:19:24.580 U.S. imposed tariffs may be delayed until March 1st so that we have the third date of potential
00:19:31.240 tariffs. Do you think, I mean, just based on what you said earlier about oil and the idea that this
00:19:37.220 might adversely affect American jobs, which certainly Donald Trump does not want to do,
00:19:43.300 do you think maybe they're kind of rethinking strategy as they do a deep dive into potential
00:19:51.140 harm for the American economy and Americans due to tariffs? I think there might be some of that.
00:19:59.080 Now, oil is really the thing that they cannot magically. Like, I appreciate Donald Trump's idea
00:20:05.820 of drill, baby drill. Look, I love that philosophy. I want that for us, too. But there's just not time.
00:20:13.300 Like, Biden released the Strategic Reserve, right? So they don't have a buffer right now to deal with
00:20:22.300 the potential of tariffing Canadian oil into the country. They just don't have a buffer. So,
00:20:29.920 and there's no possible way they can retrofit refineries in a month. It's just not going to happen.
00:20:34.640 I'm not sure. Maybe there's some movement on the file of appointing a border czar. We'll get to that
00:20:44.780 in a second. It's an idea being floated by Daniel Smith, who has the ear of the administration. So
00:20:51.740 we'll talk about that in a bit. Maybe, maybe Trudeau is coming to his senses. I highly doubt that,
00:20:57.800 but we'll see. Let's, we've got a video from Charlie Kirk on Jesse Waters, who is a big fan of David
00:21:07.280 Menzies. And the reason he is, who, they're talking about the tariffs and why they think Trump would
00:21:19.120 impose them. Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast, but I guarantee a better time
00:21:26.340 would be coming to Alaska with me, Drea Humphrey, and my other rebel colleagues. You've got to find
00:21:33.760 out more at our special website, rebelnewscruise.com. But it's taking place June 18th to June 25th,
00:21:42.600 a vacation trip of a lifetime. Again, that's rebelnewscruise.com. I'll see you there.
00:21:50.480 We were just joking upstairs. Now there's a trade war against Mexico and Canada and any other news day,
00:21:57.760 this would be top line. And this is just deep down in the show.
00:22:02.420 How do you think this impact is going to play out on the economy?
00:22:10.300 Well, look, I trust the president's negotiation ability completely. Understand that many of these
00:22:15.140 companies want to actually do business here in America. And so to avoid the tariff,
00:22:19.380 re-domicile your manufacturing here to America to onshore these jobs. Look, I think that is when it
00:22:24.880 comes to immigration, using the tariffs as a negotiating tact to get Mexico to come to the table
00:22:29.380 is brilliant. And I think the president using tariffs in the way he has to encourage manufacturing
00:22:34.980 to come back to this country has been long overdue. We used to fund the entire federal government
00:22:39.760 with tariffs. We used to fund all of our goods and services that we had through tariffs. In fact,
00:22:44.740 I love the president's idea of the external revenue service. Get rid of the internal revenue
00:22:48.840 service. Let's start actually taxing the rest of the world. And we're able to do this as the world's
00:22:53.600 superpower, as the incumbent economic power, because everyone wants to do business here. It's one thing if
00:22:58.040 you're Portugal. It's one thing if you're Spain. It's another thing where the United States of
00:23:01.560 America, because people want to come here, this will result in trillions of dollars of more investment
00:23:06.220 in capital coming into our country. Yeah, here, here, get rid of the internal revenue service or here,
00:23:12.640 the Canadian Revenue Agency. Because, you know, Sheila, I don't know if they got the memo, but
00:23:16.640 income tax allegedly was a temporary measure to fund the First World War efforts more than 100 years
00:23:26.520 later. What are we defining as temporary? Are we going by geological time here?
00:23:34.800 You know, it's funny how they talk about, you know, like repatriating manufacturing to the United
00:23:42.600 States, because Justin Trudeau had a similar effect, but in reverse on the Canadian oil patch. He acted like
00:23:52.380 a scarecrow standing there and like companies that wanted to fly in and park some money and do some
00:23:57.320 investment. He's like, get out of here. And they left. He had the completely the opposite philosophy
00:24:06.220 out of the corner of my eye. I was like, you know, I had a list somewhere because I did a story on this
00:24:11.820 a long time ago. Houston Oil and Gas and Canada headquartered to the United States. Kinder Morgan,
00:24:17.660 major pipeline company exits the Canadian market. Trident shut its doors. Shell sells their stake
00:24:25.780 in CNRL. And then that was from 2020 when I did that story. And since then, Total left. They sold
00:24:33.960 their Canadian assets, I think, to ConocoPhillips and Synovus, maybe. So it's funny how these companies
00:24:45.900 just fled. I think it's like over six hundred billion dollars in oil and gas investments just
00:24:52.840 left under Justin Trudeau. And nobody blinked an eye. And in the United States, Trump is saying,
00:25:02.840 you know, enough, enough of companies manufacturing outside of the United States and then selling back
00:25:08.760 into the American markets. Those are American jobs. They should stay here. It's completely the opposite
00:25:13.700 of what's unfolded in Canada. And nobody seems to think there's any sort of problem.
00:25:18.660 By the way, Sheila, Kinder Morgan, are they the people that make those nice little chocolate eggs
00:25:23.280 with a little surprise inside? Yes, that's a very Toronto thing to say, David. Exactly.
00:25:30.040 And by the way, since we're talking about international trade wars, I stand to be corrected,
00:25:34.780 but I believe those are not allowed for sale in the U.S. due to potential choking hazards. So
00:25:42.780 at least they can't threaten stopping the Kinder eggs because they're already not going stateside
00:25:50.920 anyways. So how do you like that? That's right. We've got a clip from Jagmeet Singh.
00:25:56.420 Oh, no. So he said that he is going to wasn't going to bring the government down a couple of
00:26:03.420 days ago. Now he's saying something different. He's all flip-flopsing. He said his party will back
00:26:10.420 a non-confidence vote when Parliament resumes March 24th, but he's still calling for retaliatory
00:26:15.820 tariffs. Who knows? He'll change his mind by Monday again, as long as he got his pension and
00:26:25.700 I forgot which thing that he's blackmailing the government for this time. It was pharma care
00:26:30.980 and dental care. And I forgot the new one. But as long as he just continues to blackmail the
00:26:35.540 government, he doesn't care what happens to hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs.
00:26:40.940 Yeah. So I want to be really clear on this. We are still going to be voting against the government
00:26:45.640 at the end of March, but there's two months before that happens. And in those two months,
00:26:50.980 if there's anything we can do to support workers, first and foremost, and to fight back against these
00:26:56.300 tariffs, against us, let's do it. So absolutely, we need retaliatory tariffs. I've said that. I think
00:27:02.400 anyone running for prime minister needs to commit to that. On top of that, I've said, let's look at
00:27:06.780 other things as well. We can cut off the flow of critical minerals. We know the United States needs
00:27:11.140 Canada. We're the only reliable source of critical minerals. And it's also going to hit Donald Trump's
00:27:16.640 buddy, Elon Musk, where it counts, because he needs those minerals for the batteries in his car
00:27:20.940 plants. So let's be very serious about fighting back. But it's also put in place protection for
00:27:25.960 these workers. You know, Sheila, I know I'm going off on a tangerine here. But you know, Lady Menzoi
00:27:32.200 brought this to my attention a couple of days ago. Why is it this week, we saw Justin Trudeau,
00:27:37.540 Mark Carney, and Jagmeet Singh all wearing gray sweaters? Is there some sort of a gray cam? I mean,
00:27:43.060 I know Justin Trudeau wore his back to front. But is there some kind of a message going on there?
00:27:49.180 Some kind of subliminal thing? Well, we talked about this on the show Wednesday, as ladies do
00:27:55.620 about fashion. Yeah, I'm real fashionista. But my friend Lisa had some comments about it. Those are
00:28:02.100 all like $500 gray cashmere sweaters. It's the progressive gray globalist sweater of the Davos
00:28:09.440 Manelite, I think. It's like the uppity, snobby version of that brown tunic that they wear in North
00:28:18.700 Korea, I think. Well, by the way, I love Lisa. I saw that live stream. You and her did so well.
00:28:25.960 She's a gem. We got to get her back ASAP. Yeah, look at the gray sweaters. They're all wearing them.
00:28:32.580 They're all wearing them. They're cashmere. I think they're about $500. But you know, okay,
00:28:39.260 I subscribe to the, you know, idea of coincidence, but it just seems a little weird, you know?
00:28:46.620 Yeah. And I mean, there's no like, like gray color campaign for a certain cancer or, you know,
00:28:55.060 what have you. So, you know, I'm, or is this the top fashion trend for men in the winter right now
00:29:03.360 to have a sweater and make it gray? Men here wear insulated coveralls. So I don't know. I don't know
00:29:11.780 what the fancy pants globalist man wears these days, but their color palette is as bleak as the
00:29:20.240 Canadian economy. Um, it's funny how Jagmeet's saying, Mr. Oh, I care about, uh, Canadian jobs.
00:29:28.100 He's willing to sacrifice all those mining jobs, um, in Northern Ontario, Northern Saskatchewan. He
00:29:35.740 doesn't care about those people. And he seems to forget that Elon Musk is a Canadian, successful
00:29:41.220 Canadian. If his politics were on the left, he would be celebrated, right? He would be just a
00:29:47.860 hometown hero, uh, a la Mark Carney, I guess, but he's not because he, uh, believes in free speech
00:29:55.020 and leaving people alone. Yeah. And, you know, I got to tell you, Sheila, going back to the
00:30:01.880 inauguration day when people thought he was making a Nazi salute. Uh, if I was Elon Musk, anyone that
00:30:09.720 reported that as a matter of fact, I think he has one hell of a defamation case. You know, this is a
00:30:17.240 a big friend, uh, to Israel and the idea of an outreached arm being, uh, a Sieg Heil Heil Hitler salute.
00:30:27.880 It is outrageous, but I'm just bringing this up because it shows you the depths they will sink to,
00:30:32.860 uh, when they villainize a guy. Do we, do we have that Olivia with the, um,
00:30:38.680 okay. It's a very quick, uh, clip folks, you know, and he's not doing, he's, he's caught up in the
00:30:47.700 emotion of the matter. He's, he's, and, you know, Sheila, I remember, I think it was our very first
00:30:52.840 rebel live event where we had those in the media who came in covertly to report and they were saying
00:31:00.160 people in the audience were doing the Nazi salute, but these were devout Christians,
00:31:05.800 they were raising their hands in prayer. Exactly. And somehow that's Sieg Heil on. It's so shameful.
00:31:13.060 And by the way, going back a decade ago, when, uh, uh, Elon Musk was rolling out the first generation,
00:31:20.040 all EV Teslas, he was the darling of the left. He's saving the planet, right? What happened in the
00:31:28.460 immortal words of, uh, Fred Willard? Well, and who does this really help? The actual Nazis?
00:31:35.020 You know, like the, the people who actually truly believe these things, when you can just
00:31:39.520 lump in conservatives who are caught up in the moment with the worst people on the face of the
00:31:46.060 earth, uh, it actually waters down the sting of that word and what it means and it normalizes them
00:31:53.660 to some extent. And meanwhile, we have new age Nazis, uh, every weekend, um, dressing up as
00:32:01.060 sinwar displaying swastikas. I'm not kidding you folks. And, uh, the media is not interested in that.
00:32:09.600 Yeah. Uh, let's go to, uh, this video of premier Smith, uh, rightly passing along some good advice.
00:32:19.300 She should start charging for this, uh, calls on the Trudeau liberals to urgently appoint a border czar
00:32:24.860 to work with the U S on border security. She says she's convinced after speaking with U S
00:32:31.340 officials, including president Trump, that this is the most important first step in avoiding
00:32:35.540 terrorists. Like she's the one that's speaking to Trump. He's telling her, this is what you need to
00:32:42.280 do. And she can't get anybody to listen to her. Let's watch this today. U S president,
00:32:48.400 Donald Trump's commerce secretary nominee, Howard Lutnick stated during his confirmation hearing that
00:32:54.620 quote, if we are your biggest trading partner, show us the respect, shut your border. This is a
00:33:00.820 separate tariff to create action from Mexico and action from Canada. As far as I know, they are acting
00:33:07.120 swiftly and if they execute it, there will be no tariff. And if they don't, then there will be. Let me say
00:33:13.840 it again. The one thing that we can do this week in just the next couple of days to have the best
00:33:20.440 chance to avoid tariffs is to show clear and unequivocal action to secure the border. This
00:33:26.460 should start with the appointment of a Canadian border czar to work with the new American border
00:33:31.740 czar to jointly crack down hard on fentanyl and illegal migrants. Is this likely to end the threat
00:33:38.320 of tariffs entirely? I don't think so. I think there'll be other things that we will need to work on and we
00:33:43.320 will do so. But I am convinced after speaking with dozens of elected U S representatives,
00:33:49.800 administrative officials, administration officials, and the president himself, that this is the most
00:33:55.020 important first step. Today, I reiterated this to the premiers, Minister LeBlanc, Minister Wilkinson,
00:34:00.720 and Prime Minister Trudeau. And I hope it is acted on by the end of this week before February 1st.
00:34:07.440 She mentioned what needed to happen five times, five times in that short clip, because she's trying
00:34:18.900 to make somebody understand this is the thing we need to do. And why wouldn't we do it? We have a
00:34:25.920 problem with illegal migration in this country. We have a problem with fentanyl coming across our border.
00:34:31.520 They just had a major stop in swift current yesterday, I believe. People from Calgary trafficking
00:34:40.320 fentanyl through southern Saskatchewan and up into Regina. A couple of weeks ago, they stopped enough
00:34:49.660 fentanyl in southern Alberta. Guess where that came from? That would be enough to kill every man,
00:34:56.360 woman, woman, and child in this province. Major drug busts in BC, half a billion dollars
00:35:04.040 at fentanyl super labs. We've got a problem. We've got a real problem. Those drugs are going back and
00:35:12.120 forth across the border. I'm also concerned that safe supply from BC is ending up on the streets of
00:35:21.280 the United States, killing Americans, the same way it's ending up on the streets of Alberta,
00:35:26.820 killing Albertans. Why wouldn't they deal with this? Except because they want to be adversarial
00:35:33.720 goofballs with the Trump administration because they can't campaign against Polyev. So they have to
00:35:40.100 campaign against another boogeyman. You know, you're so right. And that is the rationale for Doug Ford
00:35:49.300 calling this ridiculous election in Ontario, Sheila. He wants to run against somebody that's not on the
00:35:56.700 ballot, namely Donald Trump. Yep. And the idea, the ostensible policy reason, I need a mandate.
00:36:04.640 A mandate? Sheila. Supermajority government. And it's in place at least until June 2026. That's like a
00:36:14.400 year and a half. That's an eternity in politics. So, um, you know, compared to what Daniel Smith is
00:36:22.120 doing, uh, Ford is fumbling the ball. Smith is, uh, spiking it in the end zone. Uh, yeah, we should
00:36:30.740 show this real quick before we go to, um, uh, an ad break and an ad read. Uh, we've got 51 Alberta
00:36:39.220 sheriffs. And so people are, for those people who say this is reactionary to the election of Trump,
00:36:44.520 it's not, this has been in the works for several months because these 51 Alberta sheriffs had to be
00:36:50.320 trained first. So this is something that has, it's been part of Alberta's drug strategy, right? So we
00:36:57.180 ramped up treatment. Now we're dealing with supply, uh, 51 sheriffs, four patrol dogs ready to track and
00:37:03.380 take down threats, 10 cold weather drones, uh, for 24 hour surveillance for narcotic analyzers to stop
00:37:10.260 deadly drugs in their tracks and more tools to keep Alberta safe. Um, and she has been again,
00:37:17.800 trying to communicate this to the Trump administration. Uh, she's had Fox news, uh, at the
00:37:25.460 border this week and Fox business at the border this week. We know that's, um, the preferred network
00:37:31.360 of Donald Trump that Trump people watch it. And so that's what she's been doing to try to say,
00:37:36.800 look, maybe Trudeau isn't dealing with this. Maybe he isn't appointing a border czar, but we are doing
00:37:42.740 everything we can to make sure that we keep Albertans and Americans safe. So Sheila, aren't
00:37:48.220 you kind of, uh, making my point that I made right at the, uh, outset of the show, which is,
00:37:54.080 this is a pressure tactic just to get us to do the things he wants us to do, namely border
00:38:00.920 security. Sure. Yes. But I think there's a, or else attached to this. So I don't think it is an
00:38:06.280 empty threat. That's what I'm saying. I think, um, unlike Jason Kenney's strongly worded letters
00:38:13.860 to Justin Trudeau all the time when Justin Trudeau overstepped into provincial jurisdiction,
00:38:18.920 there's an or else attached to this threat from Donald Trump. So, I mean, all he's asking us to do
00:38:27.080 is the right thing by Canadians and Americans. And for some reason, our government will not,
00:38:32.000 I think we all know the reason. Um, there's, I think that, or else is very real.
00:38:38.300 Um, okay. Let, if you were to wager a dollar, Sheila, do we wake up tomorrow morning to finding
00:38:46.520 out that, uh, the tariffs are a fact of life or not? So I'm basically asking Eagles or chiefs.
00:38:55.080 Uh, I think we'll know March 1st. I think you got a month to reprieve is what I'm saying.
00:39:03.400 Okay. So that breaking news is, uh, I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
00:39:08.320 probably legit. And I think Trump will point to the things that Alberta is doing,
00:39:13.400 that Quebec is doing, that Ontario is finally doing, uh, to say, look, we were seeing movement
00:39:19.740 on these issues. We would like to see more, uh, by March 1st. And, you know, on that topic,
00:39:26.580 going back to Ford, should he not have at least waited, whether it's Feb one, March one, or April
00:39:33.680 one to find out if the tariffs are actually going to be, uh, a matter of fact before jumping the gun.
00:39:42.860 This is pure political opportunism. It's, it's, uh, it's, you know what, I'm going to say I'm wrong
00:39:49.680 because that breaking article, uh, has been completely debunked by Carolyn Levitt, the, uh,
00:39:57.580 absolute mainstream media eviscerator. Um, she says that, uh, there's, there's like,
00:40:09.200 basically if Trudeau doesn't shut his stupid mouth, we're in for a world of hurt in the next 24
00:40:15.520 hours. So let's watch. Wow. Friends of Reuters are reporting that the president has made a decision
00:40:20.000 on, uh, the Canada and Mexico tariffs, but that they want to actually be implemented until March
00:40:25.000 1st. I was wondering if you could confirm that and talk through some of the president's thinking.
00:40:29.280 I saw that report and it is false. I was just with the president in the Oval Office and I can confirm
00:40:34.660 that tomorrow, the February 1st deadline that president Trump put into place at a statement
00:40:39.840 several weeks ago continues. The president will be implementing tomorrow a 25% tariffs on Mexico,
00:40:47.180 25% tariffs on Canada, and a 10% tariff on China for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and
00:40:55.000 allowed to distribute into our country, which has killed tens of millions of Americans. These are
00:41:00.940 promises made and promises kept by the president. The president yesterday said that, um, last night
00:41:05.440 he was planning to discuss whether an exemption would be made on oil imports. Do you have any
00:41:11.280 information on what decision he made there or will there be exemptions at all offered under this?
00:41:15.380 I don't have an update or readout for you on the exemptions, but those tariffs will be
00:41:19.760 for public consumption in about 24 hours tomorrow. Um, so you can read them then.
00:41:24.360 You know, that's curious, uh, Sheila, 25% for Mexico and Canada, 10% on China. I'm trying to
00:41:33.600 understand the dynamics there because it was only a few months ago. We went to a Pierre Paglia press
00:41:38.440 conference in Hamilton at a steel plant. And he was talking about, um, for products such as steel,
00:41:46.220 EV batteries. Um, if memory serves, he was talking in the neighborhood of 25 to 50% tariffs.
00:41:54.120 Uh, against Chinese imports of those commodities. Why do you think it's so low for China?
00:42:01.640 I have no idea. I have no, I, I just, I don't know. Uh, I think maybe, um, you know, the damage that,
00:42:12.880 uh, tariffing those imports would do to the American economy, maybe just because of the scale
00:42:18.140 of, of those imports. I'm not sure, but, uh, I think Ontario should hunker down. I think you're
00:42:27.100 in for a world of hurt and I think you should hang it squarely around Justin Trudeau's neck,
00:42:30.780 like a millstone and maybe, uh, tie Doug Ford to it also because it didn't have to be this way.
00:42:37.660 Yeah. I think you're right. I think it's avoiding a self-inflicted wound for the American people. I mean,
00:42:42.420 put another way, Sheila, go into a Walmart, go into a Dollarama. Um, what would you say? Maybe
00:42:49.240 95% of the merchandise is a source from China. So imagine if it's 10, 25, 50% more, what that's
00:42:57.540 going to do to your, uh, purchasing power. It's so prevalent. I mean, I remember it was many years ago.
00:43:03.360 I think it was a journalist with the, with a Kansas city, uh, newspaper, but the assignment was,
00:43:10.100 um, she had a family and she was going to endeavor to live an entire year without needing to buy
00:43:17.420 anything made in China. You know what, Sheila, she threw in the towel at the two week mark. It's,
00:43:24.180 it was impossible. Yeah. I mean, they're so pernicious. Um, and you know, the,
00:43:31.480 the global elites have structured it that way that, uh, they punish the Western economies for
00:43:37.840 developing their economies and they allow unrestrained economic development in China,
00:43:45.180 uh, because China, even though it is the world's second largest economy is still classified as a
00:43:50.140 developing country, um, by the United nations, which means that they get all these, um,
00:43:56.000 and you mark my words, Sheila, in our lifetime, the next battlefield is going to be imports.
00:44:04.000 It is going to be cars manufactured in China that can finally pass the, you know, the crash test
00:44:10.360 and, uh, the safety, uh, benchmarks. And in fact, that's why you saw last month, um, seemingly out of
00:44:17.840 the blue, Nissan and Honda merging to Japanese car firms, because the real elephant in the room coming
00:44:26.040 down the pathway is, uh, is Chinese automobile imports. So keep your eye on that one.
00:44:33.640 Uh, let's, uh, we've got one more clip from this press conference, and this is the one that I was
00:44:40.120 referring to when I mentioned the retaliation, what mentioned the tariffs and Justin Trudeau running
00:44:46.440 his stupid mouth, uh, to the detriment of Canadians. Uh, let's watch this. Justin Trudeau,
00:44:54.520 the Canadian prime minister said today that if U S imposes tariffs, uh, he will respond and he will
00:45:00.220 not relent until the tariffs are removed. Are we seeing the start of the trade war weekend?
00:45:04.220 I don't think so. I think the president is going to implement those tariffs tomorrow. Um,
00:45:08.800 and he will respond to Mr. Trudeau's comments in due time. I am sure.
00:45:12.480 What kind of things have to happen? What does the administration need to see in order to avoid
00:45:16.540 those tariffs? Uh, well, the tariffs are, are incoming tomorrow on Canada. Uh, and the reason
00:45:21.420 for that is because both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl
00:45:28.100 that is killing American citizens and also illegal immigrants into our country. Uh, in fact,
00:45:33.840 I have more language for you right here, uh, Canada, Mexico, and China, which, as I mentioned,
00:45:38.520 President Trump will implement a 10% tariff on China, um, have all enabled illegal drugs to
00:45:43.920 pour into America. The amount of fentanyl that has been seized at the Southern border in the last
00:45:47.720 two years alone has the potential to kill tens of millions of Americans. And so the president is
00:45:53.600 intent on doing this. Um, and I think Justin Trudeau would be wise to talk to President Trump
00:45:57.700 directly before pushing outlandish comments like that to the media.
00:46:00.920 And, you know, two points, uh, Sheila, first, even if there is a trade war, which, uh, she dismissed,
00:46:09.400 I can tell you one thing, uh, we're going to lose that war and we're going to lose it bigly.
00:46:14.840 And secondly, let's not forget tariffs go on and tariffs come off, right? I mean, uh, maybe if Trump
00:46:23.500 sees proactive behavior on our part, uh, then the tariffs are removed. So once again, it's part of a,
00:46:32.020 a power play right out of the art of the deal.
00:46:37.060 Uh, Olivia says we need to do a rumble ad and we have a chat to read and then I'll leave it up to
00:46:43.880 Olivia, whether or not we want to do a rebel ad, or if we want to just keep going with the show,
00:46:48.000 we have about 14 minutes left, but this one is from Truth Social, Trump's social media network.

00:47:19.860 And we've got, um, a chat here from long time, uh, viewer and regular supporter of the show Ryerson
00:47:26.320 Gary. And he says the United States has invaded more countries, launched more coups, armed more
00:47:31.240 dictators and trained more terrorists than any empire in history. There's truth to that. The border
00:47:36.240 is an excuse. It's Trump's ego and money. I I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure. I don't know if you
00:47:42.940 read the article that Jordan Peterson published the other day in the national post, the one that
00:47:47.060 sent, uh, Andrew Coyne into the vapors, uh, clutching his pearls and causing his bosom to
00:47:53.880 heave and in dismay. Um, and basically he said America or Canada has to offer Alberta something
00:48:02.460 more than America is right now, but which is true, but it also detailed all the ways in which
00:48:09.580 we have taken our relationship with the Americans for granted. Um, saying that we have been terrible
00:48:16.000 friends to the Americans. And it is true. There are many times in our histories, we have stood
00:48:22.220 together side by side on, as the left says, the right side of history, or it's actually true in
00:48:27.960 this case. But in, in recent years, we have been, uh, a bit of a problem and we are, you know,
00:48:36.040 like they are living next door to a crack house right now and they don't like it. If you've had
00:48:40.520 a problem neighbor in your life, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And so, uh, maybe, maybe
00:48:47.620 the things that Trump is asking us to do while they are good for Americans, they're the best thing for
00:48:53.520 Canadians too. Yeah. And Sheila, I, you know, and by the way, Ryerson, Gary, I appreciate your
00:48:58.460 donation, but I have to disagree with you, my friend. I don't think this is ego driven and I don't think
00:49:03.040 it should be come as a surprise. Look what Trump ran on, make America great again. This is part of
00:49:08.960 the process. America first, as in the United States of America, not the North American continent.
00:49:15.780 So the idea that he is implementing policy, uh, to reclaim America's lost glory, uh, and if it's at
00:49:25.020 the expense of Canada, Mexico, China, and anyone else, he's going to do it. Right. Wouldn't it be nice
00:49:31.460 if we had a leader who felt the same way about us? Instead, we've got a leader who is worried about
00:49:38.780 everybody else under the sun. He's worried about trans people in the horn of Africa and, uh, shipping
00:49:46.520 my guns off to the Ukraine to fight Russia. Uh, he's got his eye on everybody else except the best
00:49:54.060 interests of Canadians. And that I think is the real problem at the root of this.
00:49:59.780 Yeah. Um, a hundred percent. So why don't you do that? Read, uh, Sheila. I did. I did. I,
00:50:06.600 where were you 30 seconds ago when I read the ad for truth social? Let's go. Oh, I thought, Oh, I,
00:50:12.740 I, no, I'm sorry. I mixed up. I, I, there was some, uh, and then you decided you did a, uh,
00:50:18.960 executive decision by killing the rebel news, uh, ad read. So I'd rather talk about the news of the day.
00:50:24.980 A hundred percent. Okay. Uh, we've got, uh, Mark Carney making announcements very early this
00:50:33.180 morning for me. I was trying to watch it before we had our 8am staff call. Um, liberal leadership
00:50:38.700 front runner, Mark Carney gives a land acknowledgement in Halifax before he goes into, uh, blaming Canadians
00:50:48.160 about why we don't embrace his ridiculous carbon tax. I'd like to acknowledge that we are gathered
00:50:55.860 here on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. The people of the Mi'kmaq nation
00:51:02.980 have lived on this territory for millennia and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future
00:51:09.000 caretakers of this land. You know, it is a pleasure to be here in Halifax.
00:51:17.180 Hmm. Why? Isn't that kind of due rigueur? Everywhere I go, I see these land acknowledgements
00:51:22.200 and you know, when I speak to anyone in the indigenous community, uh, you know what less
00:51:27.940 with the acknowledgements and, uh, maybe more with like, Oh, I don't know, clean drinking water on the
00:51:32.760 reserve. Yeah. I was at a wrestling event with my friend who is indigenous and they did like
00:51:38.720 land acknowledgement in wrestling, crazy woke wrestling promotion. Anyways, they, they also
00:51:47.540 lectured us on not making gendered insults. Um, anyway, uh, I could feel my friend cringe from
00:51:55.960 beside me when they did that, but you know what? I'm going to have the Amazon man make a land
00:52:02.000 acknowledgement every time he comes onto my farm. This is the unceded territory of the gun people.
00:52:07.980 We've been, uh, it's been unceded since 1903. Like I just, when does it, when does it end?
00:52:14.660 Um, and, uh, anyway, this is just going to be more of the same from Mark Carney. Uh, but yeah,
00:52:20.640 there are real things that we could do to advance reconciliation. And this is just virtue signaling.
00:52:25.800 Can we deal with housing? Can we deal with financial transparency on reserve? Uh, basic
00:52:31.840 necessities like drinking water. How about drug treatment on reserve? The feds aren't doing that.
00:52:37.100 We're doing that here in Alberta because we've gotten sick and tired of people dying while waiting
00:52:40.600 for Justin Trudeau to do something. So there are real things that we can help our indigenous
00:52:44.820 fellow Canadians. That ain't it brother. That is virtue signaling. And by the way, Sheila,
00:52:51.540 who was Mark Carney making that announcement to? Does he bring his own AV team with you,
00:52:57.220 with them? Because as you know, going back more than a week ago, uh, in Edmonton, uh, he made his
00:53:04.440 announcement as official announcement, but not before getting law enforcement to frog March
00:53:08.780 independent media out, including our alumnus. You reminds me, you reminded me of something
00:53:13.560 because he snatched an indigenous grandmother out of the crowd, remember? And she didn't really know
00:53:18.840 why she was there or who Mark Carney was. So he did the similar virtue signaling on the same issue
00:53:25.200 in Edmonton. Um, but I guess this time he just did it himself instead of just grabbing someone's
00:53:31.080 random, uh, grandma out of the crowd and saying, uh, he's important. I better Google him or something.
00:53:40.200 And, and, but the point is he frog marched the independent media out of the room. Uh, on Saturday,
00:53:46.040 I went to cover his presser in the beaches area of Toronto. And you know, Sheila, they say misery
00:53:52.460 loves company. I say it ain't so because this time the independent media and the mainstream media
00:53:57.760 were confined to a frigid sidewalk as, uh, Carney made his nothing burger speech. So I'm just curious
00:54:05.560 like, um, who recorded that? Because it seems that all media, it was on CPAC. Okay. Yeah. It was a
00:54:14.380 feed on CPAC. I'm just happy. He didn't snatch somebody's kookum out of the crowd. Like he did last
00:54:19.260 time. Let's keep going. Uh, Carney blames, you know what? Like Justin Trudeau.
00:54:27.320 So it's our fault that we don't like the things that they do to us and the beatings, I guess,
00:54:32.720 will continue until morale improves. He says, uh, can he, he blames us for not understanding the
00:54:38.000 positive impacts of the carbon tax, like the net benefit of having less money in your bank account.
00:54:43.840 And, but he says it's a divisive issue because we're too stupid to get how smart they are for
00:54:48.700 doing this to us. And, uh, we're just so dumb. We fell for misinformation.
00:54:52.400 In the past, you've supported the carbon tax and defended Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's,
00:54:59.240 uh, stance on the carbon tax. Why now? Why are you, you know, coming up with this now?
00:55:04.240 Well, I think there's two things, Lindsay. One is that, and that's right. Um, and it's worked,
00:55:09.800 it has had some impact in terms of reducing our emissions, uh, making things more efficient. Uh,
00:55:15.680 but as I said in my remarks, and I think, uh, certainly colleagues would know, and people would
00:55:20.540 know it has become very divisive, uh, for Canadians. Uh, it's, uh, the perceptions of the impact,
00:55:28.860 uh, the negative impacts of the carbon tax on households without fully, uh, recognizing the,
00:55:35.520 the positive impacts of, of, of the, uh, of the rebate, uh, has made this more, uh, more of a divisive
00:55:42.960 issue. It's been fed by misinformation and lies, quite frankly, by the leader of the opposition,
00:55:47.460 but okay, we are in this situation. And it's important that climate policy has brought buy-in.
00:55:54.760 There's a better way to do things. We've worked on coming up with a better way to do things,
00:55:59.300 which keeps an element of the price on pollution, the most important element, which is the industrial,
00:56:06.300 uh, price. Um, and I'll, I'll just point out, uh, for those who, uh, who, who may be interested
00:56:13.340 that really what we're looking at is almost 90% of the emissions reductions are coming from the
00:56:21.520 industrial side. So a little more than it depends on the year, but somewhere around 10, 11% coming from
00:56:27.140 households. So we've worked a way where we're going to get greater reductions on the industrial side.
00:56:33.960 Some industrial, uh, household reductions driven by incentives, the carrot, not the stick,
00:56:41.580 um, and have those industrial users pay for them. Uh, so this is a better, in, in the end,
00:56:46.720 it's a better solution that, that builds off of what was there before.
00:56:50.700 Yeah. The carrot, not the stick. Have you seen the price of carrots, uh, lately, Sheila,
00:56:55.560 in part due to the carbon tech, you know what, here's my feeling. I think Carney and Freeland have,
00:57:02.860 you know, created a trap of their own making regarding them distancing themselves from a
00:57:09.500 consumer, uh, based carbon tax because, and, and Carney alluded to it right in his, uh, speech there
00:57:17.440 about the positive effects of the rebates. So wait a minute, if you're taking away the carbon tax on
00:57:24.600 consumers, you guys have always been consistent that we're the majority of Canadians are ahead of the
00:57:31.240 game because of the rebates. Now, if that's the case, don't take away the carbon tax. Aren't you
00:57:37.720 screwing Canadians? Or maybe were you just being a little creative with the mathematics?
00:57:42.660 Yeah. They can't figure out if they're lying then or lying now.
00:57:47.140 Right. Uh, we've got one more from him. He admits, and by the way, you'll note the,
00:57:53.560 he says we're getting rid of the consumer carbon tax. So that means the end user tax,
00:57:59.940 but there he's just moving it back up the supply chain and every little bit of that will still get
00:58:05.820 passed along to you and it will still be cumulative along the supply chain. Uh, you're just going to
00:58:11.580 not see it. Oh, wait a minute, Sheila. Are you saying that the railway companies and the truckers
00:58:17.880 and the stores, they're not going to absorb that carbon tax? They're not going to pass it on?
00:58:24.200 Shockers. You know, and that's the thing. He really does think Canadians are stupid enough to
00:58:31.120 fall for this misinformation that we don't understand how running a business works. You know,
00:58:38.080 when you up the tax on something, you, you only have a little bit of wiggle room. You might be able
00:58:44.100 to absorb a teeny tiny bit so that you don't price your customers away. But if you can't make money,
00:58:50.080 you don't have a business and you have to pass it along. That's how it works. Um, and an economist
00:58:56.140 like Mr. Carney would know that. So he's just standing there lying to people. We've got one
00:59:00.940 more video from him. Uh, he admits the carbon tax was too divisive and he, uh, under pressure from
00:59:09.440 Trump and Polyev. He admits the taxes drive. He actually admits it drives up the cost of gas and
00:59:14.700 home heating as if we didn't know, but we, the liberals have attempted to gaslight us on this
00:59:20.420 for years. Sheila, I did a video earlier this month about, uh, our natural gas bill. The carbon tax
00:59:29.020 is the biggest line item, including the cost of the natural gas on that bill. I've got a friend who
00:59:36.900 heats with coal and his coal bill. Coal is like a pittance and everything else is tax. Like Mark
00:59:43.240 Carney thinks that we don't understand how addition works, like basic addition works. And so we need
00:59:49.520 him to explain it to us because we're idiots. Now, when Pierre Polyev says we have to choose
00:59:58.000 between fighting climate change and growing our economy, he's lying to us. Canadians have had more
01:00:06.120 than enough of such division and confusion with Canada now under attack. It is time to come
01:00:15.060 together. And since Canada's current climate policy has become too divisive, it's time for a new,
01:00:23.180 more effective climate plan that everyone can get behind. It's a plan that makes our economy more
01:00:30.300 competitive, it grows good jobs today, and it will grow better ones in the future. You know, friends,
01:00:37.020 there are literally billions of dollars of investment on the table and millions of jobs at state.
01:00:44.640 So here's how our new plan works. My government will immediately remove the consumer carbon tax.
01:01:00.300 But we won't stop there. Instead, what we'll do is create a system of incentives
01:01:06.780 to reward Canadians for making greener choices. So it means that you'll no longer have to pay more
01:01:13.660 to fuel your car or heat your home. But when you choose an energy efficient appliance or an electric
01:01:20.520 car or home insulation, you will be rewarded. And we will get the big polluters to pay for it.

01:01:57.620 Sheila, two things. First of all, did, do you remember, I might be wrong, but did Pierre
01:02:03.240 Polyev ever say?
01:02:05.120 Never once.
01:02:07.020 Yeah, like we have to choose between fighting climate change and the carbon tax. I mean, I don't
01:02:13.020 remember him saying it that way. And so he put words into the official opposition leader's mouth.
01:02:19.240 I wish he would say it that way.
01:02:21.460 Well, yeah, that's another thing. But also, correct me if I'm wrong, this is more in your
01:02:26.840 bailiwick, but Sheila, isn't Canada, aren't our emissions less than like 1.8% globally?
01:02:35.180 So when we talk about, like, so it's a scintilla of the problem, and yet the biggest polluters in
01:02:42.720 the world, China, India, they're still putting up old-fashioned coal plants as we speak.
01:02:48.780 One a week.
01:02:49.300 Yeah.
01:02:49.640 One or two a week.
01:02:51.080 So, like, I don't get it.
01:02:54.100 Well, and also his idea that when he says there's billions of dollars of green investment on the
01:03:00.980 table.
01:03:01.580 Oh, really?
01:03:02.620 Oh, really? Where is it then? Because we just had a carbon tax up the wazoo,
01:03:06.620 and that was supposed to create green jobs everywhere. Where are they? I'm looking. I don't
01:03:12.220 see them. You know what this sort of make the big polluters pay nonsense does? Remember that list
01:03:19.200 of big companies that I said just evacuated the oil and gas sector for greener pastures in the
01:03:25.300 United States? More of that is going to happen. Because if you promise the big polluters, you mean
01:03:31.520 the big job creators, that you're going to tax them, they just go somewhere else. They're going
01:03:37.420 to drill baby drill America. Southern Saskatchewan and North Dakota share the Bakken. Now, you can do
01:03:46.760 business in Canada where it's more expensive, or you can do business in North Dakota where it's not.
01:03:52.420 You can do business in Alberta, or you can do business in West Texas. And if you've got that
01:03:58.500 kind of adversarial baloney, scaring away investment, no matter what we do, they're just not coming
01:04:05.180 here. So, I mean, and Canadians still pay more. Sheila, capital is extremely fluid, and the people
01:04:14.020 controlling the capital, they'll go to the path of least resistance. That's it. That's all. Exactly.
01:04:19.820 You know what? Let's move ahead to, we've got one chat here, two chats, maybe.
01:04:25.380 Good. Yeah, we've got a chat. And then let's go into something. I'm tired of Mark Carney. He is
01:04:32.660 an energy vampire. Wrap up the show. He is. I know. He's so boring. He's insufferably boring,
01:04:40.420 and not in a good way. Like, Stephen Harper was boring, and I enjoy it. This is boring, and it just
01:04:45.100 makes me leave my body for an out-of-body experience to escape it for several minutes.
01:04:50.660 Sheila, I experienced it personally last Saturday when he was at the Beaches event, and the local
01:04:56.540 MP, Nate Erskine-Smith. Now, when you call Nate Erskine-Smith, Mr. Entertainment, in comparison
01:05:05.060 to Mark Carney, you know Carney might have a little bit of a charisma problem, but I'll give him credit.
01:05:11.860 Nate had the crowd worked up, and Carney gave about a five or six-minute speech of a complete
01:05:18.900 nothing burger with cheese, and you could literally feel the energy just evaporating
01:05:27.220 out of the room. It was, like, unbelievable, right? Yeah. Go ahead. I'm critical of, no,
01:05:35.020 I was going to say I was critical of Mark Carney just grabbing someone's kookum out of the crowd
01:05:39.080 and having her talk, but I want to listen to that lady talk all day over Mark Carney. Where is she?
01:05:46.620 I want to talk to her. We've got a chat here from Alberta Dawn. He says, there have been more
01:05:51.860 terrorists apprehended at the Canadian border than Mexico's. Trump sees Trudeau passing out fentanyl
01:05:56.480 and other hard drugs. What do we expect? Yes. And then we've got the whole gas and refugee
01:06:02.000 problem coming at us, and those people see the United States as the great Satan and Israel as
01:06:12.880 the little Satan, and I think he is being proactive in protecting Americans, and that's what he was
01:06:20.660 elected to do. And again, I reiterate, wouldn't it be great if we had somebody who loved us the way
01:06:25.960 Trump loves the American people? Yeah. And by the way, Sheila, in fairness, let's not forget,
01:06:32.040 thanks to the grotesque mismanagement of the southern border, that's the real problem in America.
01:06:38.740 I understand that Canada is less than 10% of the illegals coming in. More than 90 is through Mexico.
01:06:47.160 Over the last few years, the estimates range from 8.5 million to 21 million. Can you imagine?
01:06:53.540 First of all, that range is outrageous. And who are these people? What do they want? And I would
01:06:59.600 argue, and I hope to God I'm wrong on this, Sheila, but I can't see why dyed-in-the-wool terrorists
01:07:08.240 wouldn't have snuck across the southern border. Completely. Yeah. It would be a dereliction of duty
01:07:13.520 if you didn't. I mean, you mean to say I can just walk across and I'm going to be processed,
01:07:19.880 just maybe put on a bus to Texas or New York? Yeah. And I am terrified of the idea that right
01:07:26.540 now in America, there are little sleeper cells of terrorists just waiting to pull off the next
01:07:33.420 9-11. And that's more impetus, I think, for President Trump to round up these people. Yeah,
01:07:40.940 you know, I'm sorry, Mr. President of Columbia, even if it's on a military aircraft and, you know,
01:07:45.880 not on a 747 and bring them back. And also, Sheila, that incredible announcement. And Trump,
01:07:55.880 I got to tell you, continues to surprise me. Reopening Gitmo Bay to its former glory, 30,000
01:08:04.220 beds. And those are for the worst of the worst, not just in terms of criminals, but bad character
01:08:12.780 countries that allow them to migrate back to the U.S. And as Trump himself said in his great sense of
01:08:21.160 humor, you know, Gitmo, it's a pretty hard place to get out of. Pretty hard. Yeah. You know what?
01:08:28.000 Good. And also, you know, Canada should be tidying up our border for a similar reason, because Trump is
01:08:35.960 going to deport these people or they're going to flee deportation. Now, where can you flee
01:08:41.500 deportation? You'd probably come to Canada and I don't want them here either. You know, so we've got
01:08:47.740 a real problem with being a net exporter of terrorism. You don't have to sneak into this
01:08:51.620 country. You can land at Pearson and claim refugee status these days. And so those people could flow
01:08:58.780 into the United States or the other way around. Fleeing deportation, you could come into Canada
01:09:04.620 as a bad hombre, as Trump says. So there's that too. You know, Sheila, how come it's never those
01:09:11.560 celebrities that always threaten during a U.S. presidential election? That's it. If he gets
01:09:16.760 in, I'm moving to Canada. Do we even know of one, certainly not an A-lister, but has there been any
01:09:22.100 celebrities? I know going back to the 60s and 70s, a lot of U.S. draft dodgers came to Canada. I know
01:09:29.720 that for certain. Some of them went on to have nice careers at the CBC. But do you know of anyone
01:09:37.360 of note that's made good on that threat? Who promised to come to invade Canada as an illegal
01:09:46.180 alien? I don't even care. They can keep Selena Gomez. I don't care. I don't. I'm not even remotely
01:09:52.640 interested. We need less of these people, not more. We've got, let's just finish up on a lighter note.
01:09:58.940 This is what passes for comedy at the state broadcaster. A government comedy is as hilarious
01:10:06.560 and as tasty as government cheese. We've got two videos from this hour has 22 minutes.
01:10:13.440 Um, one of, let's go to the first one of them parodying Joe Rogan. These people wish they
01:10:19.120 could get Joe Rogan style numbers, but, uh, you gotta be kidding. Yeah. Donald Trump super fan,
01:10:26.860 Joe Rogan went off on censorship in Canada this week. If you can't say all those things, which
01:10:31.980 right now you can't do in Canada, you could walk there. It's on the same patch of land as us. And
01:10:37.140 it's because people like that Justin. Yeah. These people are leading you on the road to legitimate
01:10:44.940 communism. Joe, if you can shut down the Capitol and wave F Trudeau flags for weeks, nobody is censoring
01:10:52.300 your free speech. The only problem you're having with your speech is that you're too stupid to
01:10:57.160 formulate an opinion without swearing every second word. Mr. Rogan, let me now prove to you that we
01:11:04.780 have free speech in Canada while also speaking to you in words you can understand. Joe Rogan is a dickhead.
01:11:16.900 Sheila, how many censorious bills last year did the Justin Trudeau liberals table?
01:11:24.680 Also you, so you can go to the nation's Capitol and wave F Trudeau flags, but you can also have
01:11:31.400 your bank account frozen because you did it. So are, is it truly free? If you face financial ruin,
01:11:38.100 if you do it, you idiot, Mark Critch, I had to Google who that was by the way, cause I, his name
01:11:44.140 is so inconsequential to me. Um, Joe Rogan is a comedian. People will pay to see. Unfortunately we pay
01:11:52.560 to have the unwatchable Mark Critch on the air. And Sheila, I just want to tell people that
01:11:59.200 rebel news station you're watching now is a result of our censorious country going back to 2015 when
01:12:11.340 our founder Ezra Levent, uh, was with the sun news network as, uh, I was as well. And we were trying
01:12:21.020 to get a license from the CRTC that would ensure the livelihood of the sun news network, which was
01:12:30.820 losing almost $20 million a year at the time. And this was a lie. And, and remember the CRTC,
01:12:38.000 the ostensible policy reason folks, it is to promote Canadian content. So sun news network owned by a
01:12:44.980 Quebec company headquartered in Toronto bureaus all across Canada employing, I think something like
01:12:51.840 250 Canadians full-time and freelance. I mean, you couldn't get more Canadian than that, you know,
01:13:01.100 and we wanted the kind of license that specialty channels had Sheila, that almost half their content
01:13:09.000 was old U S sitcoms. And it was denied the CRTC denied a Canadian owned news network telling stories,
01:13:20.840 Canadian stories to Canadians made by Canadians. And why did they deny it? Oh, here's the rub folks.
01:13:27.340 They don't have to give a reason, but we know what the reason was. It was political. They,
01:13:33.100 they could not bear the thought of one right of center news network. So they assassinated us
01:13:41.340 simple. So whoever that jabroni was on CBC, I want to see him do a commentary on what happened to the
01:13:48.860 sun news network a decade ago. That what happened to the sun news network is so atrocious when you
01:13:57.320 realize that the, uh, background noise in doctor's offices and airports by the, which I mean, CNN,
01:14:04.420 it has mandatory carriage in this country. So if you get a cable package, you get CNN, um, because
01:14:11.500 they apparently it's vital to Canadians. Uh, but you couldn't get a Canadian news channel because
01:14:17.640 it had the wrong politics. Yeah. And you know, Sheila, that's a very good point. I should point out in
01:14:21.900 the history of sun news network before it went on the air, before the first show ever was aired,
01:14:27.120 there was already a petition and the, I think Margaret Atwood was part of it. And it was, I think
01:14:33.540 it was entitled, if you can believe it, this was supposed to be a slur. Stop Fox news North.
01:14:40.280 I remember that. And I was like, I'm interested now. I know that old crone Margaret Atwood doesn't
01:14:48.520 like it. Okay. Now, now I just might think that I would enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let's go one
01:14:54.860 more, uh, quick message from the boringest people on the face of the earth, by which I mean the
01:15:02.160 comedians at the state broadcaster, and then I'll, we'll hit an ad read and we'll wrap it up. So this is
01:15:07.540 them making fun of, uh, Daniel Smith, who got over 90% of the support of party members, uh, in her very
01:15:15.160 recent leadership review. Um, but anyways, these unwatchable people thought they would make fun of
01:15:20.660 her and you know what? I'm fine with people making fun of other people. I don't care, whatever, but
01:15:26.260 it should be funny and it's just not so boring and stale. Hello, Canada. I know a lot of you feel
01:15:35.400 like I've betrayed you guys and girls and only those two genders, but what was I supposed to do?
01:15:41.180 Turn my back on my best friend? Yeah, that's right. It's official. Donald Trump is my best friend.
01:15:49.400 What can I say? He's my pal, my compadre, my boy, my man, my little orange devil who smells like cheese.
01:15:57.100 Donald and I are incredibly close. I mean, look, that's at least five feet apart and this one's
01:16:01.860 probably closer to three. So we're pretty fricking close. Sure. Some might say threatening to devastate
01:16:08.280 your best friend's economy sounds more like a toxic and abusive relationship, but I ain't one
01:16:13.300 for labels except commie, enemy of the state and homosexual. Donald and I are so in sync. I even
01:16:20.360 started going to his barber and I think he did a beautiful job. Supporting your best friend is
01:16:26.100 crucial. And like I always say, tariffs are just another way to spell friends without the T and the
01:16:32.220 second F and adding an I and also an E and there's an N in there. I don't turn my back on my friends,
01:16:39.200 whether it's the president waging economic war or my college roommate Grace when she fell in love with
01:16:44.320 a rodeo clown at the stampede. I'm proud to call Donald my best friend. And like a true best friend,
01:16:50.400 I'm willing to wait for him to say it back. This is a great relationship, not only for me,
01:16:56.520 but for Canada. And look, I even started making friendship bracelets for us. This one's for his
01:17:04.180 groping hand. A little tiny hand, very delicate. Might be too big.
01:17:12.380 You know, Sheila, I was actually watching that with an open mind because...
01:17:16.560 I was trying. Yeah. And, you know, she appeared on another sketch in which there was a member of
01:17:23.340 the cast doing a Donald Trump impression. And I'm the umpire behind home plate. I call him as I see
01:17:28.080 him. That impression was spot on. It was excellent. The mannerisms, the speech, everything. But this
01:17:37.120 Daniel Smith character, it's really falling flat. It tells you everything about CBC's ideology when they
01:17:45.340 think they're winning over the room by mocking Daniel Smith for saying there are only two genders,
01:17:54.660 boys and girls, when the vast majority of people in this country would say, yeah, that's exactly so.
01:18:01.280 And also, I want to tell that actress, I don't even know her name, Sheila, but can we somehow send,
01:18:06.480 I don't know, an email to her and say, you know what the definition of a joke is? It's a short story
01:18:13.180 with a humorous climax. I kept waiting for that humorous climax. Did you see it arrive, Sheila?
01:18:21.760 No. I mean, it was just low-hanging fruit. There was no similarity in any of the mannerisms. It's like
01:18:29.640 they said, make fun of an Alberta woman who is conservative, who has been making the case to
01:18:37.500 Donald Trump and didn't tell her anything else. It's like she's never even watched a news clip
01:18:43.700 with Daniel Smith. That was so bad. And its greatest crime, besides being just picking the
01:18:51.560 low-hanging fruit, it was not daring or anything like that, was that it just was so boring. Like,
01:18:57.660 there was nothing even remotely funny in there. I like you. I tried. I tried. I thought,
01:19:04.580 okay, well, I might crack a smile. It was just, I don't know. It was just. And Sheila,
01:19:09.860 you nailed it. That is the cardinal sin. I've always said in this business, in the entertainment
01:19:14.420 business, be good, be bad, be so bad, you're good, but never, never be boring. And that was just,
01:19:24.660 you know, the epitome of boredom. It was just this woman ranting on and none of it was funny.
01:19:31.860 None of it. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's a problem when the ostensible reason of this hour
01:19:37.420 has 22 minutes is to be a comedy show. Right. Right. Where was the comedy? I mean,
01:19:43.680 Daniel Smith is a smart woman. If you've ever seen her deal with journalists who try to ask her
01:19:49.180 questions about numbers or they think they really understand and they're going to get her hung up on
01:19:54.380 something, she has the fact right there and she can yank it down. And then in this, they sort of
01:19:59.140 paint her as like dumb and childish when she's anything, but like, it's just, it just, there
01:20:05.540 are other ways where they could have taken this, um, that maybe, maybe could have, I don't know,
01:20:12.140 been funny. It just, it was bad. It was just generally bad.
01:20:15.060 One last point I've got to make, and it's the double standard Sheila, because several years ago,
01:20:19.460 after that disastrous trip to India by Justin Trudeau, the radio Canada, the French version
01:20:25.420 of CBC, their 20, this hour has 22 minutes that a parody of Justin Trudeau in full traditional
01:20:34.820 Indian gear doing a dance, even though I don't speak French, it was laugh out loud, funny. And
01:20:42.240 what happened? The left lost their marbles. Didn't they Sheila? It was racist. It was cultural
01:20:48.560 appropriation. Excuse me. Everything they depicted in that comedy sketch is what Justin Trudeau did in
01:20:54.820 reality in India. Yes. Yeah. It just, anyways, they just defend Trudeau at all costs. Uh, let's
01:21:04.040 do this last ad read. We'll wrap the show. Cause I am late for the thing that I needed to do. And I bet
01:21:08.740 you are too. So have you heard of the recent advertising scandal? Let me break it down. The
01:21:14.040 CEO of rumble Chris, Chris Pabloski recently released an email from inspire brands and Dunkin' Donuts.
01:21:21.420 The email explicitly states the right wing culture of rumble is too polarizing for the blue collar
01:21:28.620 coffee company. You know, know your audience. In other words, Dunkin' Donuts has a problem with
01:21:34.500 right wing culture and wants nothing to do with it or rumble. Uh, there's already a Starbucks guys.
01:21:41.260 Um, so here's the solution. Stop buying products that don't support you and start supporting brands
01:21:47.560 that support you. The competing coffee brand that we all need to get behind is rumble's own 1775 coffee
01:21:54.000 for a limited time. Rumble is offering buy two bags of coffee and get one free. Go to 1775 coffee.com
01:21:59.920 and enter promo code Duncan to get this limited time deal. All right. I think that's it. If we don't
01:22:06.380 have any chats, I think that's the show. Well, that was an hour and 20 and it flew by like, uh, well,
01:22:11.700 22 minutes, uh, Sheila, thank you so much for co-hosting because 22 minutes feels like three
01:22:17.660 hours when you're watching it. Indeed. And, uh, thank you everybody for tuning in and a special
01:22:24.340 thank you to those who made a contribution with those super chats. Um, just a little housekeeping
01:22:29.740 note. I will be gone all next week and maybe even two weeks. Um, as much as Puerto Vallarta looks
01:22:37.960 like a beautiful destination, I will be stuck in our frigid great dominion. I am, let's, shall we say
01:22:44.580 on assignment, not on vacation. So, uh, maybe I'll see you next week or maybe I'll see you in two weeks,
01:22:50.820 but, um, yeah, so I will be back as the saying goes. And in the meantime, folks, thank God it's TGIF.
01:23:00.100 And as always, be safe and be sane.
01:23:05.720 Canadians know the national anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country,
01:23:12.660 but not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that.
01:23:18.880 It looks...
