00:00:00.000 What happens when conservatives adopt the language of the left?
00:00:03.040 Well, they continue to lose.
00:00:04.880 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:24.060 You know, there's nothing quite as defeatist as watching
00:00:27.060 a smart conservative who doesn't believe at all
00:00:32.800 the things they're saying, using the language of the left
00:00:35.080 to make compelling arguments to other conservatives.
00:00:37.880 Let me give you an example.
00:00:40.160 When you see strong, thoughtful, bold conservative politicians
00:00:46.120 like, for example, Alberta Premier Daniel Smith
00:00:49.280 using words like carbon capture, carbon emissions,
00:00:55.300 even carbon pollution, to describe carbon dioxide,
00:01:01.900 which is plant food.
00:01:06.080 It's so disappointing because when you concede
00:01:10.180 the language of the left, you are acknowledging
00:01:12.920 the validity of the left's flawed arguments, right?
00:01:16.500 And you're also moving the battlefield of ideas
00:01:19.900 closer to your own home front.
00:01:22.180 And that's never good.
00:01:23.560 Now, joining me to discuss this problem with conservatives,
00:01:27.560 specifically as it relates to climate change,
00:01:31.180 is my friend Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition
00:01:34.940 in an interview we recorded earlier.
00:01:37.600 Check it out.
00:01:38.100 So joining me now is good friend of the show,
00:01:47.980 my friend Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition.
00:01:51.500 Tom, you sent me some really great articles from America Out Loud
00:01:55.100 regarding conservatives, and not even just conservatives,
00:01:59.660 but people who are climate realists,
00:02:01.820 conceding the language of the other side all the time.
00:02:06.420 And I think it is, you know,
00:02:08.100 you're moving the battleground of ideas closer to yourself
00:02:11.340 when you do these sorts of things.
00:02:13.660 Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:02:15.320 Yeah, unfortunately, what's happened is,
00:02:18.260 you know, the main people doing research
00:02:20.460 into the use of language in the climate war,
00:02:23.360 and it is a war, okay?
00:02:24.780 You know, they want to destroy our major energy sources
00:02:27.300 and, you know, all over something that's generally speaking a hoax.
00:02:31.840 But the people who are doing the research in this
00:02:34.240 are all on the left, okay?
00:02:36.360 If you look at the sociologists,
00:02:37.960 you look at the psychologists, you know,
00:02:39.900 everybody who's doing research and trying to decide
00:02:42.840 what sort of language should be used to promote their cause,
00:02:46.740 they're all on the left, okay?
00:02:48.480 So what's happening is these people are deciding
00:02:51.360 that based on their polling and their research,
00:02:54.980 that in fact calling it carbon pollution,
00:02:57.300 instead of carbon dioxide, you know,
00:02:59.640 saying, you know, climate change is real,
00:03:02.260 all these kinds of nonsensical statements,
00:03:04.620 that that will help sway the debate.
00:03:08.100 And so conservatives, unfortunately,
00:03:10.060 have been duped into using the same language, okay?
00:03:13.880 And it is interesting because this is very much
00:03:16.660 like out of 1984.
00:03:18.280 You might remember in George Orwell's 1984,
00:03:21.580 there was an appendix, a 10-page appendix at the end,
00:03:24.360 in which he introduced the concept of new speak.
00:03:28.360 And there was various types of languages,
00:03:30.400 A language, B language, C language.
00:03:32.640 The B language was words that were chosen
00:03:35.460 to promote the only way they wanted you to think, okay?
00:03:40.240 They had, you know, crime think, they called it,
00:03:43.240 if you actually thought differently.
00:03:44.860 And so language type B was language that was used
00:03:49.520 to influence the thinking pattern of the population.
00:03:53.740 And, you know, it's interesting because I use something
00:03:55.420 called Ngram on the internet.
00:03:57.840 It's a Google tool that shows you the frequency
00:04:00.340 of the use of certain words.
00:04:02.560 Now, the use of the word carbon dioxide has gone down,
00:04:05.740 but the use of carbon pollution has gone through the roof, okay?
00:04:10.140 Carbon sequestration, carbon capture, carbon footprint,
00:04:13.160 you know, all that sort of thing.
00:04:14.800 And so what's happened is, sadly,
00:04:17.260 the conservatives are actually helping this come about.
00:04:20.760 And, you know, a really good example, I think,
00:04:22.900 oh, and by the way, I should just read to you
00:04:24.260 a quick quote here.
00:04:25.560 University of Florida linguist, her name is M.J. Hardman.
00:04:28.940 She just passed away, unfortunately.
00:04:31.360 This is what she said in her book,
00:04:33.440 a paper called Language and War.
00:04:36.020 She said, quote,
00:04:36.920 Language is inseparable from humanity
00:04:39.980 and follows us in all our works.
00:04:42.240 Language is the instrument with which we form thought
00:04:44.900 and feeling, mood, aspiration, will, and action.
00:04:48.160 The instrument by whose means we influence
00:04:50.980 and are influenced.
00:04:53.020 So, you know, it's interesting.
00:04:54.280 I got into Bing AI.
00:04:55.900 Have you ever tried Bing AI yet?
00:04:57.740 No, I'm scared of AI.
00:05:00.680 Well, it's interesting.
00:05:02.100 If you go to bing.com and you put in a question,
00:05:06.460 you know, like, for example,
00:05:07.420 is language important in the climate debate?
00:05:09.800 Which I asked it.
00:05:11.020 And you click on chat.
00:05:12.380 It'll actually give you a verbal answer,
00:05:14.200 which is quite fun.
00:05:15.440 And it tells us, yes, yes, it's so important.
00:05:17.820 I said, well, who's working on this issue?
00:05:19.600 Who's actually studying how to use language?
00:05:22.020 And they list all these people,
00:05:24.080 all of them, social scientists
00:05:25.460 and people in the humanities from the left.
00:05:28.040 I said, is anybody working on this
00:05:30.580 to try to understand the words to use
00:05:33.180 to convince people there is no climate crisis?
00:05:36.480 And it had nobody, like nobody's doing it.
00:05:39.860 And I said to the Bing AI,
00:05:42.400 and it was quite interesting to see,
00:05:43.760 you know, in some cases,
00:05:45.020 you can actually, it'll learn, okay?
00:05:47.360 It'll learn to change its approach.
00:05:49.460 For example, I asked it,
00:05:51.000 can you tell me a joke about Canadians?
00:05:53.220 So it told me a silly joke about Canadians.
00:05:55.620 I said the same thing about Americans, about British.
00:05:58.200 And then I said, can you tell me a silly joke
00:06:00.120 about Pakistanis?
00:06:01.760 And it said, oh no, I can't do that.
00:06:04.220 Some people might be offended, you know?
00:06:07.140 So I said to the Bing AI, I said, well,
00:06:10.140 how does that match with telling jokes
00:06:12.460 about other, you know, other nationalities?
00:06:15.120 And it sort of paused for a while.
00:06:16.800 And it kind of thought, and it said,
00:06:18.380 yeah, you have a point.
00:06:19.640 So two hours later, I got back in and asked it,
00:06:22.080 can you tell me a joke about Canadians?
00:06:23.900 And it said, oh no, I can't do that.
00:06:25.500 That would be offensive to some people.
00:06:27.220 So the Bing AI can learn,
00:06:30.940 but it doesn't learn when it comes to some topics.
00:06:34.020 It's really held down solid,
00:06:35.680 like in the case of climate change.
00:06:37.860 So I asked the Bing AI, I said,
00:06:39.680 considering how important it is
00:06:41.060 to use the right language in the climate debate,
00:06:44.060 if you were advising people
00:06:46.360 who oppose the climate scare,
00:06:48.620 wouldn't you tell them that they should study language
00:06:51.520 and they should pay attention to it?
00:06:53.260 And the Bing AI said, oh no,
00:06:55.900 I would never tell them that.
00:06:57.380 I would tell them that they should change
00:06:59.000 their point of view, you know?
00:07:01.820 So it's quite funny to actually have
00:07:03.980 this little debate with it.
00:07:05.160 I said, yes, but if you were advising them
00:07:07.480 and it finally admitted, yeah,
00:07:09.120 you guys had better study language, you know?
00:07:11.800 So what I did is I went and looked
00:07:13.720 at the new Conservative Party of Canada policies.
00:07:19.260 policies, they've actually taken out
00:07:21.400 some really garbage-y stuff, which is great, okay?
00:07:24.800 But here's another, here's two of them.
00:07:26.600 I'll just read a couple.
00:07:28.640 They say that their policies will be firmly based
00:07:31.220 on the best scientific and technological information
00:07:33.740 currently available concerning both the issues
00:07:36.400 and our responses to them.
00:07:37.840 Okay, that sounds great, you know?
00:07:39.500 I mean, you're gonna do that.
00:07:41.320 But then they go on to say,
00:07:43.560 in pursuit of a purposeful gradual transition
00:07:46.720 to a lower carbon use future,
00:07:49.260 a Conservative government will support
00:07:51.400 the continued use of oil and gas
00:07:53.000 while encouraging research and development
00:07:55.100 aimed at creating safe, dependable,
00:07:57.420 and economical options, including,
00:08:00.060 are you ready for this?
00:08:01.100 This is Conservative, remember?
00:08:03.280 Including carbon capture technology,
00:08:05.720 well, thank you, battery storage, pathetic,
00:08:10.360 small modular reactors, okay, that makes sense,
00:08:13.020 and hydrogen-based generation,
00:08:14.700 which, of course, is ridiculous.
00:08:16.280 You lose incredible amounts of energy
00:08:17.880 when you make the hydrogen,
00:08:19.940 and then you use it as a currency later.
00:08:22.220 So what they're doing is they're feeding
00:08:24.360 the false narrative of the climate scare
00:08:27.500 in the hopes that, oh, yeah, sure,
00:08:29.960 our industry will be killed,
00:08:31.740 but it'll be a little slower and less painful.
00:08:34.760 We'll feed the crocodile last.
00:08:37.240 You know, and it's interesting,
00:08:38.700 because I think the most powerful voice
00:08:41.420 against the phasing out of Canadian oil and gas
00:08:43.960 in this country, as far as premiers go,
00:08:45.700 is Daniel Smith.
00:08:46.920 I mean, she's really poking back at the feds,
00:08:49.640 and she's having some other premiers join her, 0.96
00:08:51.720 including Scott Moe,
00:08:52.980 but she says this stuff, too.
00:08:54.820 She says, you know what we're going to do?
00:08:56.320 We're not going to phase out
00:08:57.500 our oil and gas industry.
00:08:58.760 We're going to do things
00:09:00.200 to offset our carbon emissions.
00:09:02.800 At least she still calls them emissions
00:09:04.260 and not pollution,
00:09:05.700 but it's still conceding the language
00:09:07.040 to the other side,
00:09:07.760 and she says we'll do things
00:09:08.620 like carbon capture.
00:09:10.420 Why?
00:09:10.860 Yeah, exactly.
00:09:11.420 I've got a tree.
00:09:11.920 I have a tree that does that.
00:09:14.440 Yeah, Pierre Polyev does the same thing.
00:09:16.920 I mean, Pierre Polyev says
00:09:18.080 it's not, you know, regulations and taxes.
00:09:21.340 It's technology.
00:09:23.300 Yeah.
00:09:23.580 Technology for what?
00:09:24.780 He wants to store carbon dioxide underground,
00:09:27.020 which has got to be one of the dumbest ideas
00:09:28.800 that people have ever talked about.
00:09:31.120 You know, it's actually dangerous, too,
00:09:32.980 because if you think about it,
00:09:34.440 carbon dioxide is heavier than air,
00:09:36.200 and so if it ever leaks out,
00:09:38.400 it'll form a big bubble over the area,
00:09:41.360 and of course, it displaces the air,
00:09:43.200 so in fact, it would suffocate people,
00:09:45.480 and, you know, I'll give you
00:09:46.220 a really good example.
00:09:47.560 There's a lake in the Cameroons
00:09:49.500 called Lake Lagos,
00:09:51.120 and back several decades ago,
00:09:53.160 there was a huge natural eruption
00:09:55.260 of carbon dioxide,
00:09:56.560 and I mean, it was huge.
00:09:57.900 You know, it would have filled
00:09:58.660 several city blocks,
00:10:00.000 and as this CO2 bubble
00:10:02.140 rolled down the countryside,
00:10:03.840 it killed hundreds of cattle,
00:10:06.960 it killed dozens of people,
00:10:08.640 and there's a funny,
00:10:09.740 not funny, but interesting story
00:10:11.680 about a fellow who saw people dying
00:10:13.620 all around him.
00:10:14.880 He couldn't smell anything,
00:10:15.940 he couldn't see anything,
00:10:17.280 and he jumped on his motorcycle,
00:10:18.900 and by very good fortune,
00:10:19.960 he drove in the right direction,
00:10:21.440 and he got out of the bubble,
00:10:22.720 and he survived.
00:10:24.100 So you really don't want to live
00:10:25.440 beside one of these things.
00:10:26.480 Can I tell you I do?
00:10:27.280 Because if...
00:10:27.780 Sorry?
00:10:28.760 Can I tell you that I do?
00:10:30.920 Oh, you do?
00:10:31.780 I live next to the Shell-Scotford
00:10:34.800 carbon capture area.
00:10:36.300 Oh, well.
00:10:37.000 We have these salt formations,
00:10:38.720 these salt caverns underground,
00:10:40.460 and it's one of the reasons
00:10:42.100 they put the refinery there,
00:10:43.360 but also they inject the CO2
00:10:45.380 into the salt caverns.
00:10:47.180 It started off as a test experiment.
00:10:49.120 At least it's lower
00:10:50.020 than the rest of us.
00:10:52.260 Yeah, well, that's a good point,
00:10:53.520 because it'll...
00:10:54.560 But, you know, I would...
00:10:55.600 If I were in your shoes,
00:10:56.340 I'd definitely get a CO2 detector
00:10:58.060 if you can, you know,
00:11:00.100 because, I mean, who knows?
00:11:02.420 I suppose statistically
00:11:04.020 for any particular CO2 storage site,
00:11:06.420 it's pretty unlikely
00:11:07.180 that it would leak.
00:11:08.560 And you're right.
00:11:09.520 If it's lower than you,
00:11:11.020 you're probably pretty safe.
00:11:12.840 But the other thing is, of course,
00:11:14.540 it massively increases
00:11:16.020 the cost of energy.
00:11:17.180 Sure.
00:11:17.680 Okay, because you've got
00:11:18.420 to collect the CO2,
00:11:19.800 and then they have to pump it
00:11:21.120 through pipelines,
00:11:22.040 and you can't use, you know,
00:11:23.700 pipelines that already exist
00:11:25.860 because they're full
00:11:26.420 of natural gas, of course.
00:11:27.640 But you've got to pump it
00:11:29.920 somewhere else,
00:11:30.480 and then you've got
00:11:31.080 to compress it,
00:11:31.880 and then you've got
00:11:32.200 to put it underground.
00:11:33.180 So it takes a huge amount
00:11:34.180 of energy.
00:11:35.060 So, in fact,
00:11:35.660 when you talk about
00:11:36.500 carbon capture and storage,
00:11:38.380 you know, Bob Murray
00:11:39.120 from Murray Energy
00:11:39.980 in the United States,
00:11:40.880 they were a major coal company.
00:11:42.740 He said, essentially,
00:11:43.880 that carbon capture,
00:11:45.120 as they called it,
00:11:45.840 it's really carbon dioxide,
00:11:47.180 but carbon capture and storage
00:11:48.500 is essentially a synonym
00:11:50.260 for no coal.
00:11:52.540 Okay?
00:11:53.840 And, you know,
00:11:54.480 we should want to keep coal.
00:11:55.740 I mean, everybody says,
00:11:57.340 oh, we've got to get rid of coal. 0.93
00:11:58.720 Well, no, actually.
00:11:59.940 They're replacing coal,
00:12:01.700 in many cases,
00:12:02.380 with natural gas.
00:12:04.140 And, you know, Sheila,
00:12:05.200 I call that a reverse Midas touch.
00:12:07.860 That's like turning gold
00:12:09.300 into lead.
00:12:10.380 Okay?
00:12:10.700 Save our natural gas
00:12:11.880 for what it's really,
00:12:13.020 you know, good for.
00:12:14.280 And coal is a very dependable,
00:12:16.620 solid base load power source.
00:12:18.720 So we should keep coal
00:12:20.140 with the best pollution
00:12:21.260 control devices, of course,
00:12:22.980 and forget about CO2 capture.
00:12:25.740 But, you know,
00:12:26.600 this whole business,
00:12:27.880 I think a lot of the grassroots
00:12:29.360 are not happy
00:12:30.780 about the way
00:12:32.100 that Pierre Polyev
00:12:33.120 and Daniel Smith
00:12:33.920 are promoting the climate scare
00:12:36.020 through their language.
00:12:37.580 Okay?
00:12:37.960 They're actually using
00:12:39.040 the language of their enemies.
00:12:41.180 I'll give you an example.
00:12:42.860 Last year,
00:12:43.460 we were at the Strong
00:12:44.360 and Free Networking Conference
00:12:45.480 and we had a booth
00:12:46.360 and it was quite interesting
00:12:47.680 because a lot of
00:12:49.300 conservative grassroots people,
00:12:51.060 they came up and said,
00:12:51.800 yeah, we agree with you.
00:12:52.620 This whole thing is a hoax.
00:12:53.720 There's no climate crisis.
00:12:55.780 And I asked some
00:12:57.220 of the candidates,
00:12:58.180 campaign managers,
00:12:58.960 I said, you know,
00:12:59.960 do you think
00:13:00.720 or does your candidate think
00:13:01.920 that we have a climate crisis?
00:13:04.360 And they said, no.
00:13:05.420 I said, well,
00:13:06.260 then why are they promoting
00:13:07.380 the climate scare?
00:13:08.220 And of course,
00:13:08.560 the answer was
00:13:09.180 because they want
00:13:09.820 to be prime minister.
00:13:10.880 Right.
00:13:11.280 Well, just down the hall,
00:13:13.340 there was a special session
00:13:15.280 about a conservative approach
00:13:17.260 to stopping climate change,
00:13:18.940 you know,
00:13:19.160 and reducing emissions
00:13:20.120 and all that.
00:13:20.680 So I went there
00:13:22.160 and sat right in the front
00:13:22.980 because they were
00:13:23.600 they were supposed
00:13:24.180 to have a question period.
00:13:25.460 But I guess maybe
00:13:26.380 they saw me there
00:13:27.220 because they skipped
00:13:27.980 the question period.
00:13:29.600 But anyway,
00:13:29.900 I went to the coordinator
00:13:30.920 afterwards and I said,
00:13:32.240 do you think we have
00:13:33.420 a climate crisis
00:13:34.220 caused by humans?
00:13:35.780 And he said, no.
00:13:37.560 I said, well,
00:13:38.340 then why are you pushing
00:13:40.420 the climate scare?
00:13:42.460 And you know what he said?
00:13:43.360 He said, well,
00:13:43.860 we fought that war
00:13:44.860 and we lost it.
00:13:46.340 I said,
00:13:46.900 you never fought that war.
00:13:48.360 I mean,
00:13:49.180 except for a few speeches
00:13:50.320 from people like Preston Manning
00:13:52.320 at the very beginning
00:13:53.120 and he changed sides later
00:13:54.480 and Bob Mills
00:13:55.260 who changed sides later
00:13:56.400 and Stephen Harper
00:13:57.160 who changed sides later.
00:13:58.500 They never fought the war.
00:14:00.140 Yeah.
00:14:00.320 I mean,
00:14:00.800 people have to remember
00:14:02.180 that Stephen Harper
00:14:04.300 with John Baird
00:14:05.380 as environment minister,
00:14:06.220 they're the ones
00:14:06.960 that signed
00:14:07.360 the Paris Agreement.
00:14:08.740 Let me just have
00:14:09.200 a glass of water here.
00:14:10.280 Yeah.
00:14:18.080 So, I mean,
00:14:18.780 what they should be saying
00:14:20.600 is carbon dioxide
00:14:22.800 is not causing
00:14:24.660 dangerous global warming.
00:14:26.220 We don't need
00:14:27.440 any carbon solution
00:14:29.680 at all.
00:14:31.000 But they won't say that.
00:14:32.760 And, you know,
00:14:33.160 I think that the liberals
00:14:34.500 who are pushing
00:14:35.080 and anybody who's pushing
00:14:36.280 the climate alarm,
00:14:37.300 they must be thrilled
00:14:38.160 when their enemy
00:14:38.880 uses their language.
00:14:40.740 Well,
00:14:41.200 and these are the same people,
00:14:42.440 by the way,
00:14:43.160 that conservatives
00:14:45.100 are cozying up to
00:14:46.240 who will accuse anybody
00:14:47.700 who says,
00:14:48.340 you know what,
00:14:48.800 I'm not,
00:14:49.320 I don't think taxing my car
00:14:51.220 will stop forest fires.
00:14:53.200 The other side
00:14:54.340 of this argument
00:14:54.880 calls those
00:14:55.580 very reasonable people
00:14:56.920 arsonists.
00:14:58.540 They are using
00:14:59.300 wild,
00:15:00.480 insane,
00:15:00.980 hyperbolic language
00:15:01.820 and the conservatives
00:15:02.540 are completely adopting it.
00:15:04.260 And this is a winning issue,
00:15:06.180 by the way,
00:15:07.060 across all political
00:15:08.480 stripes.
00:15:09.820 I think it was,
00:15:11.760 I just,
00:15:12.360 I'm pulling it up
00:15:12.960 out of the corner
00:15:13.420 of my eye
00:15:13.800 because I remember
00:15:14.300 when I co-hosted
00:15:15.140 for Ezra,
00:15:15.680 guest hosted for Ezra,
00:15:17.320 I had done a show
00:15:18.660 on the polling data
00:15:20.420 on Canadians' 0.83
00:15:22.700 opinions
00:15:23.040 on climate change.
00:15:24.620 And it was an Ipsos poll
00:15:26.140 commissioned by
00:15:26.820 the Montreal Economic Institute.
00:15:29.060 And it showed
00:15:29.460 that Canadians
00:15:29.940 across all age groups,
00:15:31.120 including younger
00:15:32.840 traditional left
00:15:33.660 voting demographics,
00:15:34.560 are completely over
00:15:35.520 the carbon tax.
00:15:36.340 Six in ten Canadians 0.90
00:15:37.220 can't
00:15:38.180 or don't want
00:15:39.180 to pay more
00:15:39.780 in taxes
00:15:40.360 to fight climate change.
00:15:42.780 And it's two
00:15:44.000 and three people
00:15:44.680 are pro-pipeline,
00:15:45.780 pro-oil and gas.
00:15:47.460 This is a winning issue
00:15:48.700 if conservatives
00:15:49.580 would campaign on it.
00:15:50.660 They're just scared
00:15:51.460 to for some reason.
00:15:53.660 Well,
00:15:53.880 it's not just
00:15:54.480 that they're scared to.
00:15:55.500 I mean,
00:15:55.800 they're letting the camel
00:15:57.420 in the tent
00:15:58.220 and they're parading it around.
00:15:59.980 I mean,
00:16:00.280 they're actually promoting
00:16:01.340 the climate scare.
00:16:02.140 I mean,
00:16:02.440 listen to this.
00:16:03.060 We have a group
00:16:04.020 in Canada,
00:16:04.680 they're MPs,
00:16:05.900 Conservatives for Clean Growth.
00:16:07.800 Okay.
00:16:08.080 It was founded last year
00:16:09.140 by Lisa Raitt.
00:16:10.040 Of course.
00:16:10.560 She's a former 0.92
00:16:11.360 federal minister.
00:16:12.280 Jim Denning,
00:16:12.800 who is a former
00:16:13.300 provincial minister.
00:16:15.100 And Ken Busenkal.
00:16:16.580 And here's what they say.
00:16:17.700 A stable,
00:16:18.580 credible,
00:16:19.160 long-term,
00:16:19.760 net-zero climate plan
00:16:20.980 today will open the door
00:16:22.140 to opportunities
00:16:22.940 in the future.
00:16:24.440 Yeah,
00:16:24.700 opportunities to end
00:16:25.940 the oil and gas industry.
00:16:27.720 I mean,
00:16:28.000 you have to realize
00:16:29.160 that is their goal.
00:16:30.940 I mean,
00:16:31.460 they don't want to have,
00:16:32.280 you know,
00:16:32.760 carbon capture.
00:16:33.680 They don't want to have
00:16:34.380 less oil and gas.
00:16:35.600 They want to have none.
00:16:36.660 Yeah.
00:16:36.840 Okay.
00:16:37.080 Look at these big protests
00:16:38.160 that are happening in,
00:16:39.280 well,
00:16:39.700 Ottawa just a few days ago,
00:16:41.200 but also all over New York City.
00:16:43.080 I mean,
00:16:43.660 the whole focus of that
00:16:45.020 is end carbon cap
00:16:46.520 and all carbon dioxide
00:16:48.160 producing fuels.
00:16:49.440 And the same thing's happening
00:16:50.720 in the United States.
00:16:51.660 I'll just read you a quote here.
00:16:53.060 It's a group called
00:16:53.860 the Conservative Climate Caucus,
00:16:56.160 a caucus within
00:16:57.140 the House of Representatives.
00:16:58.560 They got 73 members
00:16:59.780 and here's one of their
00:17:00.600 main statements.
00:17:02.140 And I'm going to show you
00:17:03.120 in a sec that industry,
00:17:04.380 believe it or not,
00:17:04.900 are promoting this too.
00:17:05.760 Oh,
00:17:05.820 they're completely colonized
00:17:06.980 by this nonsense.
00:17:08.140 I know.
00:17:08.600 It's insane.
00:17:09.520 The Conservative Climate Caucus
00:17:11.180 in the House of Representatives,
00:17:12.340 they say,
00:17:13.360 climate change is a global issue
00:17:14.860 and China is the greatest
00:17:15.960 immediate obstacle
00:17:16.880 to reducing world emissions.
00:17:18.820 Solutions should reduce
00:17:19.880 global emissions
00:17:20.640 and not just feel-good policies.
00:17:23.380 No, guys,
00:17:24.380 you should not accept guilt
00:17:25.820 for a crime
00:17:26.500 that you're not committing.
00:17:27.820 Okay?
00:17:28.040 It's as if you're charged
00:17:29.660 with murder
00:17:30.540 and your lawyer comes to you
00:17:32.180 and says,
00:17:32.500 look,
00:17:32.660 if we plead guilty
00:17:33.820 and we act really nice,
00:17:35.740 you might only get
00:17:36.680 life imprisonment
00:17:37.760 instead of being,
00:17:39.000 you know,
00:17:39.340 executed
00:17:39.820 if you're in a state
00:17:40.700 somewhere that executes people.
00:17:42.560 You say to your lawyer,
00:17:43.720 no,
00:17:44.060 I'm not guilty.
00:17:44.980 I didn't do it.
00:17:46.020 Okay?
00:17:46.300 But, you know,
00:17:48.180 right now,
00:17:48.980 there's something called
00:17:49.660 the 24th World Petroleum Conference,
00:17:52.840 okay,
00:17:53.120 that's going on right now
00:17:54.060 in Calgary.
00:17:55.180 And it's interesting
00:17:55.900 because the head
00:17:57.560 of the World Petroleum Congress,
00:17:59.460 Dennis Pancho,
00:18:00.940 okay,
00:18:01.180 he told Global News,
00:18:02.300 it was either yesterday
00:18:03.120 or the day before,
00:18:04.180 that we need to decarbonize
00:18:05.640 the oil and gas industry
00:18:06.940 as much as we can.
00:18:08.140 And here's a quote.
00:18:09.200 Industry has come together
00:18:10.480 to recognize
00:18:11.160 and to appreciate
00:18:12.000 that we're all in this together,
00:18:13.700 that we all need
00:18:14.920 to tackle climate change.
00:18:16.640 It's real, okay?
00:18:18.040 They're using the language 0.98
00:18:19.200 of our enemy.
00:18:19.800 Yeah,
00:18:19.920 and using the language
00:18:20.820 of COVID,
00:18:21.460 by the way.
00:18:22.760 Like,
00:18:22.960 we're all in this together.
00:18:25.160 And so,
00:18:25.620 what can industry do
00:18:26.660 to address the contributions
00:18:28.060 to climate change
00:18:29.620 or its contributions
00:18:30.480 to climate change?
00:18:31.560 And you got the same thing
00:18:32.860 from the Canadian Energy Centre.
00:18:34.620 You know,
00:18:34.960 that is really frustrating.
00:18:36.580 I mean,
00:18:36.780 they are promoting,
00:18:38.000 they're saying,
00:18:38.820 you know,
00:18:39.180 we'll probably not be able
00:18:40.660 to do without technical solutions
00:18:42.300 like underground storage
00:18:43.580 of CO2.
00:18:44.940 And of course,
00:18:45.420 then you got
00:18:45.760 the Pathways Alliance,
00:18:47.340 which is,
00:18:47.820 of course,
00:18:48.040 the oil sands people
00:18:49.120 who are focused
00:18:50.160 on reducing climate change.
00:18:51.980 And they say,
00:18:52.680 our path to net zero
00:18:54.180 from operations
00:18:55.040 will help our country
00:18:55.960 achieve a sustainable future.
00:18:57.760 Well,
00:18:58.060 come on,
00:18:58.660 guys.
00:18:59.520 You know,
00:18:59.720 so I always,
00:19:01.260 you know,
00:19:01.520 I look at this
00:19:02.180 from the point of view,
00:19:03.020 look,
00:19:03.700 if those researchers
00:19:04.760 are promoting this language
00:19:06.580 to support the climate scare,
00:19:08.620 then why are you using
00:19:10.520 their language?
00:19:11.620 And,
00:19:12.180 you know,
00:19:13.000 there's a lot of studies
00:19:14.160 that have gone into
00:19:14.960 the use of language in war.
00:19:17.120 I mean,
00:19:17.280 it is extremely important.
00:19:19.240 It changes the way people think.
00:19:20.720 It's like right out of 1984.
00:19:22.840 So,
00:19:23.040 I mean,
00:19:23.420 the bottom line is
00:19:24.700 that conservatives
00:19:25.360 feel that they fought
00:19:26.860 this battle
00:19:27.620 and lost.
00:19:28.600 The truth is
00:19:29.220 they've barely started.
00:19:30.500 No,
00:19:30.760 they haven't fought this
00:19:31.920 since Kyoto.
00:19:34.300 Yeah.
00:19:35.060 Yeah.
00:19:35.560 No,
00:19:35.820 I find it quite pathetic.
00:19:36.960 And,
00:19:37.400 you know,
00:19:37.460 it's interesting
00:19:37.900 because many in the grassroots
00:19:39.020 are not at all happy
00:19:40.700 that Pierre Polyev
00:19:41.680 and others
00:19:42.160 are promoting the scare.
00:19:43.220 Pierre Polyev
00:19:43.860 stands up for
00:19:44.880 carbon sequestration
00:19:46.660 as he calls it.
00:19:47.840 He wants us to move
00:19:48.740 to electric vehicles
00:19:49.880 and,
00:19:50.360 of course,
00:19:50.580 do a lot of the mining
00:19:51.540 for lithium,
00:19:52.320 et cetera,
00:19:52.600 in Canada,
00:19:53.320 which is better,
00:19:54.380 I guess,
00:19:54.740 than getting it from China.
00:19:56.280 He wants to push
00:19:57.280 developing countries
00:19:58.320 off of coal
00:19:59.260 onto Canada's
00:20:00.760 carbon dioxide
00:20:01.560 lower
00:20:02.200 natural gas.
00:20:03.840 Now,
00:20:04.080 natural gas is great.
00:20:05.400 You know,
00:20:05.580 I support natural gas,
00:20:07.320 but the idea
00:20:08.680 that you should be
00:20:09.200 pushing them off
00:20:09.940 their least expensive
00:20:10.760 form of electricity,
00:20:12.000 that doesn't make
00:20:13.220 any sense at all.
00:20:13.980 You should just simply
00:20:14.700 help them with
00:20:15.400 better pollution control.
00:20:17.660 So,
00:20:17.800 I mean,
00:20:18.380 I think that,
00:20:20.100 you know,
00:20:21.700 just right now,
00:20:23.560 you know,
00:20:23.740 they have this big
00:20:24.320 climate week
00:20:25.220 in New York City
00:20:26.040 and people like Joe Biden
00:20:28.040 and others are saying,
00:20:29.060 you know,
00:20:29.200 this is the greatest
00:20:29.880 threat to humanity.
00:20:31.040 I don't know if you saw,
00:20:31.780 but Biden said
00:20:33.240 that,
00:20:33.960 he said,
00:20:34.440 the only existential threat,
00:20:36.500 this is what he said
00:20:37.120 in Hanoi
00:20:37.660 just two days ago.
00:20:38.820 Guess what?
00:20:39.740 In addition to helping
00:20:41.080 the environment overall,
00:20:43.060 and the only existential
00:20:43.900 threat humanity faces,
00:20:45.880 even more frightening
00:20:47.020 than a,
00:20:47.600 as I think for the war,
00:20:49.740 is global warming
00:20:51.580 going above 1.5 degrees
00:20:53.580 in the next 20,
00:20:55.140 10 years.
00:20:56.700 And we're,
00:20:57.220 we're real troubling.
00:20:58.920 There's no way back
00:21:00.060 from that.
00:21:00.800 The only existential threat
00:21:02.580 to humanity,
00:21:03.800 more frightening
00:21:04.680 even than nuclear war,
00:21:06.840 is global warming
00:21:08.140 of 1.5 degrees.
00:21:09.860 That's why they don't seem
00:21:10.960 to be taking that conflict
00:21:12.060 between Russia and Ukraine
00:21:13.220 all that seriously.
00:21:14.560 It's because
00:21:14.900 they're worried
00:21:15.540 about climate change
00:21:16.440 and I'm like,
00:21:17.020 are they going to nuke
00:21:17.960 the world?
00:21:19.020 I'm not sure.
00:21:20.540 Yeah.
00:21:21.300 But you know,
00:21:21.960 Sheila,
00:21:22.320 there's lots of polls
00:21:23.360 around the world,
00:21:24.320 even the UN polls,
00:21:25.900 that show that
00:21:26.420 the average person
00:21:27.280 is not concerned
00:21:28.160 about climate change
00:21:29.180 in comparison
00:21:29.980 with things like
00:21:30.680 peace and prosperity
00:21:31.640 and food and water
00:21:32.880 and freedom
00:21:33.640 and all that sort of thing.
00:21:35.160 And you know,
00:21:35.620 the UN itself
00:21:36.580 did a poll
00:21:37.260 called My World.
00:21:38.700 They started in 2015
00:21:39.760 and they got over
00:21:40.920 9 million people voting
00:21:42.460 all across,
00:21:43.640 all across the world,
00:21:44.840 largely in developing countries,
00:21:46.080 which is interesting.
00:21:47.180 And they listed
00:21:48.840 17 possible priorities
00:21:51.100 for the UN
00:21:52.040 to focus on.
00:21:52.860 You're,
00:21:53.140 you were supposed
00:21:53.580 to choose your top six.
00:21:55.100 And climate change
00:21:56.480 came out dead last
00:21:57.560 of the 17 priorities.
00:22:00.400 Yeah.
00:22:00.720 And you see this
00:22:01.540 over and over.
00:22:02.280 I mean,
00:22:02.460 Gallup just did a poll
00:22:03.500 in the United States
00:22:04.380 and, you know,
00:22:05.360 they're asking people
00:22:06.200 questions about,
00:22:07.140 you know,
00:22:07.480 how much,
00:22:07.920 how seriously
00:22:08.360 they take this,
00:22:09.500 et cetera.
00:22:10.160 And the bottom line
00:22:11.660 is that the politicians
00:22:12.980 are leading us
00:22:13.940 into kind of a
00:22:14.720 never,
00:22:15.380 never land
00:22:16.100 that the average person
00:22:17.700 does not support.
00:22:19.000 Yeah.
00:22:19.320 Okay.
00:22:19.700 So you're right.
00:22:20.720 This is an election issue.
00:22:22.360 I don't know
00:22:22.600 if you saw the GOP debate,
00:22:24.540 the first primary debate
00:22:26.780 for a candidate
00:22:27.980 to be the GOP candidate
00:22:29.160 for president.
00:22:32.500 Ramaswamy,
00:22:33.100 his name is.
00:22:33.740 Vivek.
00:22:34.180 He got up there
00:22:34.840 and he said three times,
00:22:36.280 he said,
00:22:36.840 the climate scare
00:22:38.240 is a hoax.
00:22:39.320 He said it three times.
00:22:40.440 Okay.
00:22:40.660 You couldn't,
00:22:41.120 couldn't miss it.
00:22:42.220 And he said,
00:22:42.700 the only people dying
00:22:43.800 from climate
00:22:44.560 is from climate policy,
00:22:46.140 not from climate change,
00:22:48.080 which of course is true.
00:22:49.000 Nobody dies
00:22:49.560 from climate change.
00:22:51.060 And well,
00:22:52.400 you know,
00:22:52.840 unless you have
00:22:53.420 extreme cooling
00:22:54.560 the way we did
00:22:55.800 in Greenland,
00:22:57.100 you know,
00:22:57.380 which of course led
00:22:58.080 to the extinction
00:22:58.980 of the Greenland colony.
00:23:00.720 But Vivek.
00:23:01.900 Swami was, 1.00
00:23:02.580 was very,
00:23:03.320 very smart.
00:23:04.220 Okay.
00:23:04.480 And I was reading
00:23:05.340 a recent opinion poll
00:23:06.500 and apparently after Trump,
00:23:07.960 he's now the leading candidate.
00:23:10.380 And,
00:23:10.480 and,
00:23:10.740 you know,
00:23:10.840 we have to remember also
00:23:11.920 that Stephen Harper
00:23:12.960 was a strong climate skeptic.
00:23:15.960 Okay.
00:23:16.220 He said that the Kyoto Protocol,
00:23:18.280 how did he put it?
00:23:19.740 A socialist money grabbing scheme,
00:23:22.160 I think were the terms he used.
00:23:23.360 Evergreen.
00:23:23.760 And yet he became prime minister.
00:23:25.600 Yes.
00:23:25.780 So I don't know why
00:23:26.680 these people are so afraid of it.
00:23:28.180 I mean,
00:23:28.360 the average person
00:23:29.360 would agree with them.
00:23:30.780 It's stupid.
00:23:32.540 You know,
00:23:32.780 going back to,
00:23:33.460 I was just,
00:23:34.040 while you were talking,
00:23:35.120 because again,
00:23:36.520 I live next door
00:23:37.480 to a carbon capture facility,
00:23:39.560 Shell's Quest facility,
00:23:41.260 and they just proposed
00:23:42.120 another one called Polaris.
00:23:44.100 And I've seen the data
00:23:45.840 on what this thing
00:23:46.980 actually does.
00:23:48.460 It releases more carbon
00:23:50.200 than it captures.
00:23:50.920 It's supposed to,
00:23:52.440 Oh, I'm not surprised.
00:23:53.020 It's supposed to capture
00:23:53.680 like 90% of Shell's
00:23:55.720 greenhouse gas emissions.
00:23:57.860 And I think it sequestered
00:23:59.520 like 40%
00:24:01.720 and released 60% of the,
00:24:04.120 and it's just a big
00:24:06.580 taxpayer boondoggle.
00:24:08.320 The thing initially,
00:24:09.420 like 15 years ago,
00:24:11.520 cost a little over $1 billion.
00:24:14.000 I can't even imagine
00:24:14.780 putting a shovel in the ground
00:24:15.900 for less than $2 billion
00:24:17.180 at this point.
00:24:17.840 But more than half of that money
00:24:20.060 came from subsidies
00:24:20.980 and grants from
00:24:22.060 the provincial government
00:24:23.320 and the federal government.
00:24:25.380 It's just a make work
00:24:26.780 virtue signaling project
00:24:28.340 that even if you cared
00:24:29.560 about greenhouse gas emissions,
00:24:30.980 and I definitely don't,
00:24:32.720 it doesn't do
00:24:33.420 what it says it's going to do.
00:24:35.320 Yeah, yeah.
00:24:36.400 And actually,
00:24:37.280 this is interesting.
00:24:38.600 If you were a true
00:24:40.360 left wing,
00:24:41.800 socially conscious
00:24:42.820 environmentalist,
00:24:43.940 you should oppose
00:24:45.100 wind and solar power.
00:24:46.160 You should oppose many
00:24:47.080 of the plans
00:24:47.640 that they're promoting.
00:24:48.840 And you might have seen
00:24:49.560 the film by Michael Moore,
00:24:51.080 a very left wing film producer,
00:24:52.820 called Planet of the Humans.
00:24:54.340 And in Planet of the Humans,
00:24:55.500 they show that wind and solar
00:24:56.860 are probably the most filthy
00:24:59.000 energy sources on the planet.
00:25:00.800 When you look how they mine 0.98
00:25:02.280 the lithium,
00:25:02.980 the cobalt,
00:25:03.620 you know,
00:25:03.800 and children in the Congo
00:25:04.940 to get you the cobalt,
00:25:06.300 they have no plan
00:25:07.080 for getting rid
00:25:07.720 of all the wind turbines.
00:25:08.920 They don't actually
00:25:09.560 decompose easily,
00:25:11.060 the fiberglass,
00:25:11.920 et cetera.
00:25:12.640 And of course,
00:25:13.480 enormous amount
00:25:14.300 of toxic waste
00:25:15.340 from solar panels
00:25:16.280 when they're used up.
00:25:17.240 They just throw them
00:25:17.780 in the ground.
00:25:19.100 So, you know,
00:25:19.740 the whole thing is that if you,
00:25:21.520 and also if you were interested
00:25:22.540 in social justice,
00:25:23.740 you should absolutely support
00:25:25.580 Canadian oil and gas,
00:25:27.300 okay,
00:25:27.540 because we have the highest
00:25:28.620 ethical standards
00:25:29.680 in the way we treat
00:25:30.800 our workers.
00:25:31.580 But, you know,
00:25:32.200 you look at how they treat
00:25:33.120 the children in the Congo.
00:25:34.740 Children as young
00:25:35.440 as four years old
00:25:36.580 are in tiny mines,
00:25:38.280 okay,
00:25:38.500 they use children
00:25:39.260 partly to get
00:25:40.140 into the little mines.
00:25:41.640 Yeah,
00:25:41.780 and they're breathing
00:25:42.280 radioactive dust
00:25:43.400 and everything
00:25:43.860 so that a North American
00:25:45.680 can feel virtuous
00:25:46.660 to drive their EV,
00:25:49.060 you know.
00:25:49.420 So, I mean,
00:25:49.940 if you really cared
00:25:51.100 about the environment,
00:25:51.880 if you really cared
00:25:52.640 about social justice,
00:25:54.180 you would oppose
00:25:55.220 virtually everything
00:25:56.640 the left is pushing
00:25:57.940 on this.
00:25:58.680 So, I think what's happened
00:26:00.220 is partly through
00:26:01.560 the choice of language
00:26:02.800 and also through
00:26:03.800 the suppression
00:26:04.580 of information,
00:26:06.120 you know,
00:26:06.340 like the wind turbines
00:26:07.320 were definitely
00:26:07.940 a major contributor
00:26:08.860 to the Texas blackout
00:26:10.620 in 2021
00:26:11.240 when it all failed
00:26:13.060 50% of it
00:26:14.760 in just a few hours.
00:26:16.900 So, I mean,
00:26:17.500 what's happening
00:26:18.200 is people
00:26:19.420 who have a good heart
00:26:20.460 on the left,
00:26:21.120 and there are some,
00:26:21.900 one of my sisters
00:26:22.660 is a strong socialist,
00:26:24.660 she understands
00:26:25.680 the situation now,
00:26:26.640 but most of them
00:26:27.300 simply don't.
00:26:28.080 They've been bamboozled.
00:26:29.560 Yeah,
00:26:29.840 I was talking
00:26:30.780 to Michelle Sterling
00:26:31.620 from Friends of Science
00:26:32.540 about this
00:26:33.100 not all that long ago
00:26:34.420 when, you know,
00:26:35.140 there's this push
00:26:35.820 to get the entire grid
00:26:37.740 contaminated with green energy
00:26:40.100 is what I would call it,
00:26:41.520 and she said
00:26:42.800 the problem is
00:26:44.160 the acres and acres
00:26:45.520 of batteries
00:26:46.300 that you need
00:26:47.700 to park somewhere,
00:26:49.620 usually arable farmland
00:26:51.160 because the city people
00:26:52.100 don't like looking
00:26:52.800 at this stuff,
00:26:53.440 so it ends up
00:26:53.980 next door to me,
00:26:55.360 and then she said
00:26:57.860 there's a real problem
00:26:59.180 with these facilities
00:27:00.680 in that if there is
00:27:02.440 a fire at one of them,
00:27:04.620 the fire departments
00:27:05.660 don't know how
00:27:06.200 to deal with them,
00:27:07.180 they are toxic.
00:27:08.420 It's not like
00:27:09.200 up the road
00:27:10.140 at the refinery,
00:27:11.060 they have their own
00:27:11.860 teams of firefighters
00:27:12.840 who are specifically
00:27:13.640 trained in a fire
00:27:15.720 at that facility.
00:27:16.760 They know how to deal
00:27:17.300 with it almost instantly.
00:27:19.080 They don't know
00:27:19.840 how to deal
00:27:20.460 with the kind
00:27:21.040 of chemical fires
00:27:22.080 that could arise
00:27:22.940 from a battery plant,
00:27:24.100 and that's a real problem
00:27:25.340 for people who have
00:27:26.120 to live next door to them.
00:27:28.120 Oh, yeah, for sure,
00:27:29.180 and I understand
00:27:29.680 Norwegian shipping
00:27:31.320 will no longer
00:27:32.240 take battery-powered cars,
00:27:34.340 EVs,
00:27:34.840 because, of course,
00:27:35.400 we've seen
00:27:35.780 some complete cargoes
00:27:37.020 lost because
00:27:38.000 when the car
00:27:38.560 casts fire,
00:27:39.240 you know,
00:27:39.380 you're on a ship,
00:27:40.020 that's pretty dangerous,
00:27:40.960 and I was reading
00:27:41.860 that in some places
00:27:42.600 in Europe,
00:27:43.100 I believe it's in Germany,
00:27:44.620 they're banning
00:27:45.340 underground parking
00:27:46.360 for electric vehicles.
00:27:48.020 The other thing,
00:27:48.800 of course,
00:27:49.080 which is insane
00:27:49.840 is that I can see
00:27:51.280 a circumstance
00:27:51.820 developing in the future,
00:27:53.680 not too long from now,
00:27:54.840 when insurance companies
00:27:55.960 are going to say
00:27:56.460 you can't park
00:27:57.440 your EV in your garage.
00:27:59.120 Oh, I believe it.
00:27:59.640 It's too dangerous.
00:28:01.140 Yeah, and yet,
00:28:02.160 you have to,
00:28:02.740 in cold weather,
00:28:03.600 you have to park
00:28:04.200 your EV in your garage
00:28:05.260 or you can't start it
00:28:06.340 because the batteries
00:28:08.200 don't work very well
00:28:09.220 when it's minus 30.
00:28:10.540 So you're just going to have
00:28:11.980 this useless piece of junk
00:28:13.560 that's going to sit
00:28:14.420 on the side of the road
00:28:15.340 for the whole winter.
00:28:16.100 You can't use it
00:28:17.060 because you'll void
00:28:17.940 your insurance plan
00:28:19.240 if you, you know,
00:28:20.120 park it inside,
00:28:20.880 and if you don't park it inside,
00:28:21.960 you can't use it.
00:28:23.300 Yeah.
00:28:24.020 But, you know,
00:28:24.520 there's a way out of this
00:28:25.900 for people like Daniel Smith.
00:28:27.740 And what Daniel Smith could do,
00:28:29.980 and I think this would be
00:28:30.840 very, very important,
00:28:32.060 is without actually doing,
00:28:33.660 like, you might remember
00:28:34.320 she actually was lambasted
00:28:36.940 at a CBC event
00:28:38.460 about, oh, 10 or 12 years ago
00:28:40.620 when she expressed some doubt
00:28:42.100 about the climate scare.
00:28:43.580 And she didn't actually
00:28:44.460 set the stage,
00:28:45.300 and so it was actually
00:28:46.620 not very smart
00:28:47.320 from a PR point of view.
00:28:48.700 And, of course,
00:28:49.180 it was a CBC audience,
00:28:50.500 so they, you know,
00:28:51.720 and it was completely
00:28:52.600 loaded with leftists.
00:28:54.420 So as soon as she expressed
00:28:55.360 some doubt
00:28:55.820 about the climate scare,
00:28:57.040 they just massacred her. 0.97
00:28:58.660 And, of course,
00:28:59.220 she thought, oh, my God.
00:29:00.320 And so she backed off
00:29:02.060 and now she changed sides. 0.96
00:29:03.520 But instead of doing that,
00:29:04.600 what she needs to do
00:29:05.500 is say something like this.
00:29:06.820 Look, I'm not a scientist,
00:29:08.740 but I think that
00:29:09.780 we have to look
00:29:10.880 at the science
00:29:11.540 very carefully
00:29:12.320 before we make major
00:29:14.160 life-altering decisions
00:29:15.980 for our society.
00:29:17.540 So without actually
00:29:18.940 biasing them
00:29:19.700 one way or the other,
00:29:21.080 I'm going to hold
00:29:22.160 open hearings
00:29:23.000 in which I bring in
00:29:24.080 scientists from across
00:29:25.060 the political spectrum
00:29:26.080 and a political scientist,
00:29:27.920 and I'm going to actually
00:29:29.500 have them tell us
00:29:30.560 what they think
00:29:31.520 about climate change.
00:29:32.780 And, of course,
00:29:33.240 being Alberta,
00:29:35.360 it's a great location
00:29:36.480 to bring in geologists.
00:29:37.880 Yes.
00:29:38.380 Okay, like Michelle's group,
00:29:39.840 Friends of Science.
00:29:40.780 You know,
00:29:41.160 they're founded
00:29:41.780 with geologists,
00:29:42.760 like people like
00:29:43.520 Albert Jacobs.
00:29:44.920 So what would happen
00:29:46.220 is that she should
00:29:47.640 make the hearing open,
00:29:49.340 okay, should be public.
00:29:50.580 She should not
00:29:51.200 take a position.
00:29:52.500 She should simply say,
00:29:53.460 let's hear what the experts
00:29:54.540 have to say.
00:29:55.620 And what would happen
00:29:56.700 is there would be
00:29:57.340 a Donnybrook,
00:29:58.120 okay, within this meeting.
00:29:59.480 You'd have some scientists
00:30:00.540 like Michael Mann saying,
00:30:01.740 oh, it's the end of the world.
00:30:02.820 And you have the geologist
00:30:03.700 saying, come on,
00:30:04.560 we've had CO2
00:30:05.440 10 times higher in the past
00:30:06.880 and it was colder.
00:30:08.100 So, you know,
00:30:08.640 what are you talking about?
00:30:09.720 And so what would happen
00:30:10.820 is the public would watch this
00:30:12.140 and they'd say,
00:30:13.040 wow, these guys don't agree.
00:30:15.320 There's no consensus.
00:30:16.900 You know, I mean,
00:30:17.660 the science isn't settled.
00:30:18.880 It's all over the map.
00:30:20.360 Maybe we'll wait
00:30:21.120 for 10 years.
00:30:21.960 And in 10 years,
00:30:23.140 if the science is settled,
00:30:24.880 yeah, sure,
00:30:25.420 then we'll talk
00:30:25.980 about reducing CO2.
00:30:27.260 So then after the hearing,
00:30:29.040 Danielle Smith can say,
00:30:30.580 geez, you know,
00:30:31.260 based on what I've heard,
00:30:32.780 it sounds like a big gamble
00:30:34.500 to be trusting
00:30:35.660 only one side
00:30:36.780 of the science.
00:30:37.500 See, most people right now,
00:30:38.680 they don't even know
00:30:39.340 there's another side.
00:30:40.620 Okay, so what she should do
00:30:42.120 is have these open hearings,
00:30:43.960 invite scientists
00:30:44.720 in a nonpartisan way
00:30:46.380 from across the spectrum,
00:30:47.500 and also bring in
00:30:48.620 some engineers.
00:30:49.160 What would happen
00:30:50.160 if we tried to run
00:30:51.100 our society on wind
00:30:52.080 and solar power,
00:30:53.100 Mr. Engineer?
00:30:53.740 And the engineer would say,
00:30:55.600 like, you'd be back
00:30:57.380 to living conditions
00:30:58.360 from the 1800s,
00:31:00.080 and you'd probably
00:31:00.840 have thousands of people
00:31:01.800 die, you know,
00:31:02.840 freezing in the dark
00:31:03.700 because they don't have
00:31:04.340 any power,
00:31:05.080 just like in Texas,
00:31:06.160 where up to 700 people died.
00:31:08.700 You know, I mean,
00:31:09.180 it's amazing.
00:31:09.840 If you look at
00:31:10.720 the Texas statistics,
00:31:12.620 and remember,
00:31:13.240 Texas was more than
00:31:14.140 50% powered
00:31:15.200 by wind power
00:31:16.280 just before the storm hit.
00:31:18.640 And within a few hours,
00:31:19.880 when the wind died,
00:31:21.700 13,000 megawatts
00:31:23.840 went offline,
00:31:25.200 bam,
00:31:25.700 in just a few hours.
00:31:27.220 Now, to give you
00:31:27.880 some perspective,
00:31:29.280 Ontario today,
00:31:30.320 its demand is around
00:31:31.360 16,000 megawatts.
00:31:32.880 So it's almost as if
00:31:34.200 the whole of Ontario
00:31:35.640 went offline
00:31:36.860 in just a few hours.
00:31:38.780 Okay, that's what
00:31:39.580 happened in Texas,
00:31:40.400 and they ended up
00:31:41.100 with 8 million people
00:31:42.540 without power,
00:31:44.020 without water,
00:31:45.220 because, of course,
00:31:45.840 the water filtration plants
00:31:47.380 couldn't pump the water.
00:31:48.660 It's like the whole GTA.
00:31:50.080 Without heat.
00:31:51.520 Yeah, without heat.
00:31:52.860 And this was in Texas,
00:31:54.400 okay, where it was
00:31:54.900 very cold for Texas.
00:31:56.160 But you compare that,
00:31:57.480 let's say, with Ottawa.
00:31:58.680 It was interesting,
00:31:59.220 because I was watching
00:31:59.840 the temperature graph
00:32:01.880 over that time period.
00:32:02.880 I was comparing Ottawa
00:32:03.740 with Austin, Texas.
00:32:05.560 Okay, Austin, Texas
00:32:06.440 had a few days
00:32:07.340 where it went below zero,
00:32:08.400 just below zero, okay?
00:32:10.100 Ottawa, in that same period,
00:32:11.880 had a few days
00:32:12.620 where it went just above zero.
00:32:14.280 Okay, so it's much colder,
00:32:15.540 of course, in Ottawa.
00:32:16.600 And in Texas,
00:32:17.740 they didn't get rid
00:32:18.520 of their natural gas,
00:32:19.840 and they were able
00:32:20.560 to quadruple its output
00:32:22.160 to help compensate,
00:32:23.780 but it wasn't good enough.
00:32:25.140 You get places like Ottawa,
00:32:26.540 and I'm not sure
00:32:27.080 what Calgary's going to do,
00:32:28.320 but Ottawa wants
00:32:29.220 to turn off its natural gas.
00:32:31.340 So it's a lot colder,
00:32:33.300 and we'll have no natural gas
00:32:34.700 to suddenly ramp up.
00:32:36.320 Yeah, you're inviting
00:32:37.320 thousands of deaths,
00:32:38.600 and that's exactly
00:32:39.580 what I would tell them,
00:32:40.560 that's what most engineers
00:32:41.620 would tell them,
00:32:42.320 that you can't rely
00:32:43.680 on these energy sources
00:32:44.860 and batteries to back up.
00:32:47.380 Oh, come on. 0.87
00:32:48.240 You know, like,
00:32:48.700 what fantasy are you in?
00:32:50.020 The biggest battery pack
00:32:51.300 in the world
00:32:51.820 is in California,
00:32:52.680 and it's interesting, Sheila,
00:32:54.420 if they had to power
00:32:55.300 the state with battery power
00:32:57.080 from the biggest battery pack
00:32:58.640 in the world,
00:32:59.500 it would last
00:33:00.360 for 102 seconds.
00:33:02.520 So they'd have enough time
00:33:04.860 to find a flashlight.
00:33:06.440 And so, I mean,
00:33:07.200 what Daniel Smith should do
00:33:09.000 without taking any point of view
00:33:10.480 is bring in experts,
00:33:12.120 and I'd be very happy
00:33:13.160 to go in,
00:33:13.900 but other engineers too,
00:33:15.100 I'm sure would,
00:33:16.260 especially from Alberta.
00:33:17.420 I mean, you guys have
00:33:18.380 geologists and engineers galore.
00:33:20.660 You know, go in
00:33:21.320 and just tell the public
00:33:23.220 what would happen.
00:33:24.680 And, you know,
00:33:25.180 then she can back up
00:33:26.120 and say,
00:33:26.800 oh, well, you know,
00:33:28.560 I didn't really have opinion
00:33:29.940 on this before,
00:33:31.020 but I'm starting to think
00:33:32.680 that this is a big mistake.
00:33:35.100 Yeah, these politicians
00:33:35.840 have to quit taking advice
00:33:36.940 from people who don't understand
00:33:38.160 how the power grid works.
00:33:39.520 It's very complicated,
00:33:40.720 and the people on the left
00:33:42.280 who are telling us
00:33:43.320 that the world,
00:33:44.160 are we dead already?
00:33:45.660 I think we've died
00:33:46.540 a couple times
00:33:47.280 from climate change,
00:33:48.600 either cold or hot,
00:33:50.700 based on their doomsday
00:33:52.020 cult timelines.
00:33:53.040 And we just have to
00:33:54.320 quit taking advice
00:33:55.260 from those people
00:33:55.960 because that's how
00:33:57.220 we all end up dead
00:33:58.520 from, you know,
00:34:00.480 exposure.
00:34:01.040 And you know, Sheila,
00:34:01.800 they've got to realize
00:34:03.120 that a lot of conservatives,
00:34:05.240 although they say,
00:34:06.160 oh, well,
00:34:06.680 we can't say that
00:34:07.700 because that's not
00:34:08.420 public opinion.
00:34:09.160 But, you know,
00:34:10.000 they have the cart
00:34:11.160 before the horse
00:34:11.900 in this case.
00:34:12.800 There was a study done,
00:34:14.040 I think we've spoken
00:34:14.780 about it before,
00:34:15.760 by McGill University,
00:34:17.140 Drexel,
00:34:17.620 and Ohio State University
00:34:18.640 researchers,
00:34:19.440 social scientists,
00:34:20.560 and they were looking at
00:34:21.440 what is the major driver
00:34:23.060 of public opinion
00:34:24.420 on climate change?
00:34:25.800 And they did all sorts
00:34:26.680 of polls
00:34:27.140 and very sophisticated studies,
00:34:28.840 and, you know,
00:34:29.460 at first you would think
00:34:30.220 it would be media.
00:34:31.260 Nope, it wasn't media.
00:34:32.800 Then you'd think,
00:34:33.520 well, maybe it's the science.
00:34:34.660 Nope, it's not the science.
00:34:35.980 It's not the statements
00:34:36.880 of the environmental activists
00:34:38.040 or these big protests.
00:34:39.500 The thing that drives
00:34:40.740 public opinion
00:34:41.560 more than anything
00:34:42.740 in the United States,
00:34:44.200 but I'm sure it would
00:34:44.820 apply in Canada,
00:34:46.000 is the statement
00:34:46.920 of the elites
00:34:47.960 and in particular
00:34:48.900 the statement
00:34:49.520 of politicians.
00:34:51.140 And they gave
00:34:51.700 a very interesting example.
00:34:53.280 When John McCain
00:34:54.020 was alive as a Republican,
00:34:55.880 he was promoting
00:34:56.560 the climate scare.
00:34:57.420 He was supporting it.
00:34:58.660 And the conservatives
00:34:59.780 in the United States,
00:35:00.720 the actual government people,
00:35:01.980 the Republicans,
00:35:02.880 were supporting
00:35:03.620 the climate scare.
00:35:04.340 And public support
00:35:05.880 for taking action
00:35:06.960 to supposedly stop
00:35:08.080 climate change,
00:35:09.060 public support
00:35:09.640 was very high.
00:35:10.680 But when we got
00:35:11.720 Republicans like Trump
00:35:13.180 and others,
00:35:14.020 you know, in power
00:35:14.960 and they started saying
00:35:15.980 things that were true,
00:35:17.300 you know, things like
00:35:18.240 this whole climate scare
00:35:19.740 is ridiculous,
00:35:20.800 the support of public
00:35:21.980 went way down.
00:35:24.000 Okay, so what's happening
00:35:25.540 is many of the
00:35:26.520 inside advisors
00:35:28.400 in communications
00:35:29.220 and strategy
00:35:29.960 for the Conservative Party
00:35:31.000 of Canada,
00:35:31.920 the impression I get
00:35:33.040 is that they're either
00:35:33.840 so young
00:35:34.580 that they don't
00:35:35.140 understand it
00:35:36.020 or they're thinking
00:35:37.000 more about getting jobs
00:35:38.180 in the PR sector
00:35:39.200 afterwards,
00:35:40.080 which, you know,
00:35:40.540 it's pretty well
00:35:41.020 all left wing
00:35:41.760 in the PR industry.
00:35:44.040 And so what they're
00:35:44.740 not doing
00:35:45.380 is they're not
00:35:45.960 taking their role
00:35:47.200 seriously.
00:35:48.060 Their role,
00:35:49.040 to a large extent,
00:35:50.240 is leading public opinion.
00:35:52.960 And that's why
00:35:53.600 I think Daniel Smith
00:35:54.440 could really turn
00:35:55.760 the whole debate around
00:35:56.700 for not just Alberta
00:35:57.700 but for Canada
00:35:58.540 by having open hearings
00:36:00.480 in which experts
00:36:01.360 are allowed to speak.
00:36:02.240 and then say,
00:36:03.600 oh, yeah, wow,
00:36:05.140 geez, you know,
00:36:05.680 this is nothing,
00:36:06.460 this is not settled.
00:36:07.680 I think we've got
00:36:08.420 to wait a little while
00:36:09.440 and then back off
00:36:11.000 the whole carbon capture
00:36:12.780 and all the other things
00:36:13.860 she talks about.
00:36:14.700 Yeah, I mean,
00:36:15.580 and it's just so expensive
00:36:16.720 and apparently,
00:36:17.900 according to the things
00:36:19.040 that I'm reading,
00:36:19.960 also very ineffective.
00:36:22.140 Tom,
00:36:22.700 I could talk to you
00:36:24.040 all day,
00:36:24.480 as you know,
00:36:25.480 but I got to skedaddle,
00:36:27.200 I got to go to Regina.
00:36:28.460 Tell us how people
00:36:31.040 can support the work
00:36:32.400 that you do
00:36:32.980 at the International Climate
00:36:34.220 Science Coalition Canada
00:36:35.380 because,
00:36:36.420 and as I say
00:36:37.180 to Michelle Sterling
00:36:37.880 all the time,
00:36:38.860 there are like
00:36:39.800 just a tiny handful
00:36:41.320 of climate realists
00:36:42.500 in this country
00:36:43.280 and you are up
00:36:44.340 against the deep pockets
00:36:45.600 of the big green machine
00:36:47.920 being funded
00:36:49.200 out of the United States
00:36:50.520 and unfortunately
00:36:51.540 from Ottawa
00:36:52.500 to dam us all
00:36:54.840 into energy poverty.
00:36:56.080 Yeah, exactly.
00:36:58.400 Well, if people go
00:36:59.040 to icsc-canada.com
00:37:01.920 you can see
00:37:02.860 a big red
00:37:03.520 donate button
00:37:04.340 in the upper
00:37:04.840 right-hand corner
00:37:05.500 and we only get
00:37:06.680 donations from individuals.
00:37:08.580 You know,
00:37:08.780 we're a non-profit
00:37:09.660 and we use all the money
00:37:11.900 of course
00:37:12.320 for our campaigns
00:37:13.920 and we'd love
00:37:14.800 to expand our efforts.
00:37:16.280 We were very successful
00:37:17.180 in the Ottawa election
00:37:18.080 as you and I
00:37:18.660 have spoken about.
00:37:19.640 We want to do that
00:37:20.320 in other cities.
00:37:20.980 We want to do that
00:37:21.520 in Calgary
00:37:22.120 where the average person
00:37:23.600 learns enough about this
00:37:24.780 that they can go
00:37:25.480 and contest
00:37:26.220 the climate scare
00:37:27.360 at the municipal level
00:37:28.540 and with sufficient funds
00:37:30.140 we will exactly do that.
00:37:32.700 You've got another project.
00:37:33.880 You've got your podcast.
00:37:35.160 You always forget
00:37:35.760 to tell us about the podcast.
00:37:38.320 That's right.
00:37:38.980 The other side of the story
00:37:40.060 in the United States
00:37:41.100 and exploratory journeys
00:37:42.580 here in Canada.
00:37:43.380 If people go to
00:37:43.940 americaoutloud.com
00:37:45.320 and click on
00:37:46.360 our team
00:37:47.620 and click on my name
00:37:49.020 you can see our podcast.
00:37:50.620 We actually had
00:37:51.640 an interview
00:37:52.080 with Joseph Benamy
00:37:53.040 who's a leading
00:37:54.220 conservative
00:37:54.820 communications expert.
00:37:57.020 He worked actually
00:37:57.620 for Stephen Harper
00:37:58.400 and this week's topic
00:38:00.020 and people can hear it
00:38:01.060 it's right there.
00:38:01.700 It's the first issue
00:38:02.880 actually under my listing
00:38:04.920 is a discussion
00:38:06.400 with him about
00:38:07.160 how the conservatives
00:38:08.240 are making a massive mistake
00:38:10.160 on their language use.
00:38:12.540 Okay, so that's what
00:38:13.240 it's talking to
00:38:14.000 Joseph about.
00:38:15.080 Awesome.
00:38:15.780 Tom, thanks so much
00:38:16.460 for coming on the show
00:38:17.220 and thanks for being
00:38:18.200 such a realistic
00:38:19.880 breath of fresh air
00:38:21.240 in this topic
00:38:22.500 that is just polluted
00:38:23.720 with hyperbole
00:38:25.520 and hysteria. 0.87
00:38:27.420 And newspeak.
00:38:28.420 Newspeak.
00:38:29.100 Newspeak from 1984.
00:38:30.700 George Orwell
00:38:31.580 would be thrilled
00:38:32.280 to see how they've
00:38:33.540 used stuff
00:38:34.400 right out of his book.
00:38:35.640 Yeah, it was a novel
00:38:36.800 not an instruction manual
00:38:38.160 but here we are.
00:38:40.480 Thanks, Tom.
00:38:41.180 Well, friends,
00:38:49.000 we've come to the portion
00:38:49.760 of the show
00:38:50.200 where we invite
00:38:50.820 your viewer feedback.
00:38:51.820 You see,
00:38:52.120 unlike the mainstream media,
00:38:53.240 I actually care about
00:38:54.140 what you think
00:38:54.680 about the work
00:38:55.200 that I do here
00:38:55.800 at Rebel News
00:38:56.340 and the work
00:38:57.280 that the rest of the team
00:38:58.140 does here as well.
00:38:59.420 It's why we leave
00:39:00.100 our comment section open
00:39:01.500 and it's why
00:39:01.940 I give out my email address
00:39:03.360 right now.
00:39:03.920 It's Sheila
00:39:04.340 at RebelNews.com
00:39:05.900 Drop me a line,
00:39:07.360 send me an email,
00:39:08.240 let me know
00:39:08.580 what you thought.
00:39:09.600 Put gunshow,
00:39:10.680 G-U-N-N 1.00
00:39:11.840 show letters
00:39:12.960 in the subject line
00:39:13.840 so that I know
00:39:15.260 why you're reaching out
00:39:16.520 to me
00:39:16.740 and it also makes it easier
00:39:17.660 for me to find.
00:39:18.420 I get sometimes
00:39:19.080 hundreds of emails a day
00:39:20.120 especially if I said
00:39:21.080 something crazy
00:39:21.700 or controversial
00:39:22.500 given my honest opinion
00:39:24.900 about a prickly topic.
00:39:28.400 Sometimes people
00:39:29.460 like to put me on blast
00:39:31.300 and you know what?
00:39:32.580 Whatever.
00:39:34.340 If I were in the mainstream media
00:39:35.700 I'd be over on Twitter
00:39:36.440 crying about it
00:39:37.080 but I'm not.
00:39:37.600 So anyway,
00:39:38.880 if you maybe
00:39:39.560 you don't want to send me
00:39:40.280 an email,
00:39:40.540 maybe you just want
00:39:41.180 to leave a comment
00:39:41.920 on the show
00:39:43.540 wherever you're watching
00:39:44.920 the show
00:39:45.460 on YouTube
00:39:46.400 or Rumble
00:39:46.960 if you're watching
00:39:47.540 the free version.
00:39:48.380 Thank you
00:39:48.780 by the way
00:39:49.500 for sitting through an ad
00:39:50.720 and thank you
00:39:51.620 to our subscribers
00:39:52.560 who make it possible
00:39:53.820 for the people
00:39:54.740 to watch the free version
00:39:56.480 of the show
00:39:57.060 on YouTube.
00:39:58.280 Now
00:39:58.540 this week's comments
00:40:01.060 come to me
00:40:02.760 because of last week's show.
00:40:05.140 Now last week's show
00:40:06.140 I filled with my friend
00:40:07.200 and my colleague
00:40:07.880 and my partner
00:40:08.680 in documentary filmmaking
00:40:09.860 Ki and Simone
00:40:10.880 you see we were both
00:40:11.800 in Israel
00:40:12.420 and then in Dubai
00:40:14.160 to investigate
00:40:16.320 the impacts
00:40:17.480 of the Trump
00:40:18.660 negotiated Abraham Accords
00:40:20.300 between Israel
00:40:21.260 and five
00:40:22.460 Muslim countries
00:40:24.180 including
00:40:24.680 the United Arab Emirates
00:40:26.140 and it's really been
00:40:28.300 a boom for trade
00:40:29.360 and peace
00:40:30.180 and prosperity
00:40:30.800 and if Donald Trump
00:40:31.660 were on the left
00:40:32.380 he would have
00:40:32.840 gotten
00:40:33.440 a Nobel Peace Prize
00:40:35.360 for what he had done
00:40:36.320 but it was interesting
00:40:37.980 for me to see
00:40:38.840 as a third time visitor
00:40:40.840 to the state of Israel
00:40:41.880 to see
00:40:44.720 my friend
00:40:45.540 Ki and Simone
00:40:46.160 experience
00:40:47.360 Israel
00:40:48.240 for the first time
00:40:49.860 because
00:40:50.660 when you go there
00:40:52.220 you realize
00:40:53.320 that most
00:40:53.920 of everything
00:40:54.520 you hear about Israel
00:40:56.100 in the mainstream media
00:40:57.100 is a complete
00:40:58.180 and total fabrication
00:40:59.040 of the left
00:41:00.380 and the
00:41:02.380 anti-American
00:41:03.540 institutional
00:41:05.580 socialist
00:41:07.340 complex
00:41:08.300 anyway
00:41:09.920 so I did a show
00:41:11.200 with Kian
00:41:11.620 asking him
00:41:12.400 you know
00:41:12.700 like what
00:41:13.080 what were his thoughts
00:41:14.280 experiencing
00:41:17.180 Israel
00:41:17.860 and
00:41:18.220 learning
00:41:19.280 what are
00:41:20.380 the facts
00:41:21.200 from
00:41:22.460 on the ground
00:41:23.640 having
00:41:24.580 learned everything
00:41:25.680 he thought
00:41:26.420 he knew about Israel
00:41:27.260 just
00:41:27.660 from the media
00:41:28.800 and from
00:41:29.480 like his peer group
00:41:30.460 who tend to be
00:41:31.240 pretty anti-Israel 0.63
00:41:32.160 and
00:41:33.680 so anyway
00:41:34.740 we've got some
00:41:35.340 interesting comments
00:41:36.040 about that
00:41:37.280 from people who
00:41:38.180 probably have never
00:41:39.300 been to Israel
00:41:39.900 and who
00:41:40.520 like Kian 1.00
00:41:41.220 only know
00:41:42.560 what they know
00:41:43.040 about Israel
00:41:43.560 from
00:41:44.100 mainstream media sources
00:41:45.800 and anti-American
00:41:47.000 sources
00:41:47.400 anyway
00:41:48.020 um
00:41:49.340 let's go to
00:41:51.540 the comments section
00:41:52.420 that guy
00:41:54.420 a
00:41:54.840 on YouTube
00:41:56.240 by the way
00:41:56.960 this is on YouTube
00:41:57.720 so the free version
00:41:58.400 of the show
00:41:58.740 he writes to me
00:42:00.520 and says
00:42:00.960 saying that
00:42:01.580 standing behind
00:42:02.300 Israel is important
00:42:03.320 because it's about
00:42:04.540 capitalism
00:42:05.240 sums up the
00:42:06.660 sociopathy of
00:42:07.800 rebel
00:42:08.120 better than I ever
00:42:09.400 could
00:42:09.700 it's an interesting
00:42:11.300 comment about
00:42:12.140 being anti-capitalist
00:42:14.100 um
00:42:14.840 from a guy
00:42:15.280 who's watching
00:42:15.760 the free version
00:42:16.580 of the show
00:42:17.860 the version of the show
00:42:18.940 that somebody else
00:42:20.280 through their
00:42:20.980 donations
00:42:21.840 made possible
00:42:23.120 for him to see
00:42:24.140 just a little
00:42:26.460 on the nose
00:42:27.020 don't you think
00:42:27.720 um
00:42:29.400 may
00:42:30.480 bernard
00:42:31.340 6735
00:42:33.380 and I'm just
00:42:33.860 taking these
00:42:34.260 at random
00:42:34.700 by the way
00:42:35.480 he says
00:42:36.220 this was very
00:42:37.160 interesting
00:42:37.560 and I
00:42:38.020 enjoyed this
00:42:38.720 but Sheila
00:42:39.080 your hair
00:42:39.400 looks amazing
00:42:39.960 here
00:42:40.220 I am
00:42:40.580 cruel
00:42:40.800 jealous
00:42:41.140 you know
00:42:41.680 what
00:42:41.800 thank you
00:42:42.140 but the
00:42:42.500 entire
00:42:42.800 time
00:42:43.360 that I
00:42:43.900 was in
00:42:44.400 Israel
00:42:44.880 and Dubai
00:42:45.880 I felt
00:42:46.420 like my
00:42:46.760 hair
00:42:46.940 was just
00:42:47.640 um
00:42:48.160 couldn't get
00:42:49.300 it right
00:42:49.500 it was so
00:42:50.040 humid
00:42:50.400 and so
00:42:51.480 um
00:42:52.520 I'm
00:42:52.940 gonna be
00:42:53.460 honest
00:42:53.720 here
00:42:53.940 I'm
00:42:54.280 come
00:42:54.880 it was
00:42:55.220 three
00:42:55.500 degrees
00:42:55.820 this
00:42:56.060 morning
00:42:56.200 it was
00:42:56.480 oppressively
00:42:57.780 hot
00:42:58.320 while I
00:42:59.180 was there
00:42:59.600 next person
00:43:00.500 says
00:43:00.900 Rolf
00:43:01.380 09
00:43:01.880 why go to
00:43:03.920 Israel
00:43:04.200 just stay
00:43:04.660 on Canadian
00:43:05.200 news
00:43:05.460 not donating
00:43:06.200 money for
00:43:06.700 international
00:43:07.220 news
00:43:07.620 not about
00:43:08.120 Canada
00:43:08.500 well
00:43:08.940 I think
00:43:11.440 it's
00:43:11.600 interesting
00:43:12.060 because
00:43:13.080 part of
00:43:13.680 our
00:43:13.800 mandate
00:43:14.120 here at
00:43:14.620 Rebel News
00:43:15.020 is to
00:43:15.340 tell the
00:43:15.620 other side
00:43:15.980 of the
00:43:16.220 story
00:43:16.500 and if
00:43:16.800 you don't
00:43:17.100 think
00:43:17.380 the fact
00:43:18.520 that peace
00:43:19.300 broke out
00:43:19.980 in the
00:43:20.300 Middle East
00:43:20.920 thanks to
00:43:22.820 Donald Trump's
00:43:24.000 mantra of
00:43:25.340 figure it out
00:43:26.380 if you want
00:43:27.140 access to the
00:43:27.900 White House
00:43:28.400 I think
00:43:30.060 that's pretty
00:43:30.420 interesting
00:43:30.820 if you don't
00:43:31.280 think that
00:43:31.900 peace
00:43:32.960 breaking out
00:43:33.480 in the
00:43:33.720 Middle East
00:43:34.140 is newsworthy
00:43:35.040 well
00:43:35.920 what is
00:43:36.980 newsworthy
00:43:37.600 and by the
00:43:38.000 way we
00:43:38.360 talk about
00:43:38.820 Canadian
00:43:39.140 news
00:43:39.460 all the
00:43:40.800 time
00:43:41.260 and again
00:43:42.080 you're
00:43:42.360 watching the
00:43:42.760 free version
00:43:43.160 of the
00:43:43.380 show
00:43:43.560 so
00:43:43.840 thanks
00:43:45.460 very much
00:43:46.100 Guy
00:43:47.720 Frazier
00:43:48.200 8157
00:43:49.860 says
00:43:50.100 are you
00:43:50.480 allowed
00:43:50.740 to have
00:43:51.160 a Canadian
00:43:51.580 flag in
00:43:52.020 Ottawa
00:43:52.360 or will
00:43:52.840 the
00:43:53.020 Stasi 0.97
00:43:53.380 accost you 0.75
00:43:54.060 under
00:43:54.360 political
00:43:54.840 directives
00:43:55.440 Guy
00:43:56.760 that's an
00:43:57.100 interesting
00:43:57.360 comment
00:43:57.700 because
00:43:57.980 when I
00:43:58.320 was in
00:43:58.580 Israel
00:43:58.940 it was
00:43:59.760 pretty
00:43:59.940 clear
00:44:00.260 that
00:44:00.760 no
00:44:00.980 matter
00:44:01.360 your
00:44:01.780 political
00:44:02.380 leanings
00:44:03.320 and I
00:44:03.880 think
00:44:04.000 this
00:44:04.140 has a
00:44:04.400 lot
00:44:04.500 to do
00:44:04.700 with
00:44:04.840 the
00:44:05.000 mandatory
00:44:05.360 military
00:44:05.840 service
00:44:06.360 there
00:44:06.620 people
00:44:08.400 fly
00:44:08.860 the
00:44:09.200 Israeli
00:44:09.520 flag
00:44:09.900 the
00:44:10.240 left
00:44:10.580 the
00:44:10.900 right
00:44:11.200 doesn't
00:44:12.080 matter
00:44:12.380 they
00:44:12.840 unite
00:44:13.360 around
00:44:13.760 the
00:44:14.360 common
00:44:14.680 cause
00:44:15.160 of the
00:44:15.660 existential
00:44:16.220 threat
00:44:16.740 of
00:44:16.920 terrorism
00:44:17.340 all around
00:44:17.820 them
00:44:18.060 and
00:44:19.460 if you
00:44:20.580 wave
00:44:21.360 the
00:44:21.500 Canadian
00:44:21.780 flag
00:44:22.180 you're
00:44:22.420 not
00:44:22.580 seen
00:44:22.860 as
00:44:23.100 some
00:44:23.480 I'm
00:44:25.040 sorry
00:44:25.220 if you
00:44:25.520 wave
00:44:25.800 the
00:44:25.940 Israeli
00:44:26.760 flag
00:44:27.080 you're
00:44:27.300 not
00:44:27.480 seen
00:44:27.800 as
00:44:28.080 some
00:44:28.260 sort
00:44:28.560 of
00:44:28.800 right
00:44:29.620 wing
00:44:29.900 radical
00:44:30.460 as
00:44:32.300 is the
00:44:32.640 case
00:44:32.880 these
00:44:33.160 days
00:44:33.460 in
00:44:33.660 Canada
00:44:33.960 you know
00:44:34.240 you see
00:44:34.540 those
00:44:34.760 moral
00:44:35.020 printing
00:44:35.340 people
00:44:35.680 on
00:44:35.980 social
00:44:36.760 media
00:44:37.080 and
00:44:37.400 in
00:44:37.520 the
00:44:37.660 news
00:44:37.940 saying
00:44:38.280 is
00:44:38.560 the
00:44:38.740 Canadian
00:44:39.060 flag
00:44:39.440 a
00:44:39.620 far
00:44:39.800 right
00:44:40.080 symbol
00:44:40.460 now
00:44:40.780 I'm
00:44:41.060 uncomfortable
00:44:41.440 flying
00:44:41.860 the
00:44:42.000 Canadian
00:44:42.300 flag
00:44:42.720 I'm
00:44:42.980 triggered
00:44:43.260 by Canada
00:44:43.860 day
00:44:44.120 blah
00:44:44.400 blah
00:44:44.420 but it
00:44:45.800 isn't
00:44:46.020 the
00:44:46.180 case
00:44:46.460 there
00:44:46.780 it
00:44:48.060 really
00:44:48.400 isn't
00:44:48.740 the
00:44:48.880 case
00:44:49.120 in
00:44:49.260 Israel
00:44:49.560 it's
00:44:50.480 I
00:44:52.460 think
00:44:53.020 it
00:44:53.120 is a
00:44:53.340 testament
00:44:53.640 to
00:44:53.860 mandatory
00:44:54.160 military
00:44:54.540 service
00:44:54.980 of course
00:44:55.340 because you
00:44:55.560 have to
00:44:55.740 put aside
00:44:56.100 your
00:44:56.260 political
00:44:56.540 differences
00:44:56.960 to deal
00:44:57.380 with
00:44:57.580 as I
00:44:57.940 said
00:44:58.080 the
00:44:58.240 existential
00:44:58.700 threat
00:44:59.040 all around
00:44:59.440 you
00:44:59.660 but it
00:45:01.200 also is
00:45:01.620 a
00:45:01.760 testament
00:45:02.000 to the
00:45:02.360 power
00:45:02.660 of the
00:45:03.440 mind
00:45:04.120 virus
00:45:04.800 of the
00:45:06.160 Trudeau
00:45:07.120 funded
00:45:07.840 mainstream
00:45:08.380 media
00:45:08.920 in this
00:45:09.980 country
00:45:10.460 upon
00:45:11.420 the
00:45:12.220 malleable
00:45:13.680 Canadian
00:45:14.820 population
00:45:15.500 who
00:45:15.980 will
00:45:16.940 read an
00:45:17.300 article
00:45:17.580 saying
00:45:18.000 oh
00:45:18.440 is
00:45:18.740 the
00:45:19.020 Canadian
00:45:20.120 flag
00:45:20.500 a symbol
00:45:20.840 of the
00:45:21.240 far
00:45:21.420 right
00:45:21.740 and then
00:45:22.560 all of a
00:45:23.000 sudden
00:45:23.160 you think
00:45:23.540 maybe it
00:45:24.040 is a
00:45:24.320 symbol
00:45:24.480 of the
00:45:24.740 far
00:45:24.900 right
00:45:25.180 and then
00:45:25.940 all of a
00:45:26.280 sudden
00:45:26.380 you hate
00:45:26.660 Canada
00:45:26.980 day
00:45:27.220 because
00:45:27.440 you think
00:45:27.720 it is
00:45:27.920 a day
00:45:28.180 that
00:45:28.320 celebrates
00:45:28.740 fascism
00:45:29.340 it's
00:45:30.080 something
00:45:32.000 for us
00:45:32.540 to learn
00:45:33.000 from the
00:45:33.560 state
00:45:33.740 of Israel
00:45:34.180 that's
00:45:34.560 for sure
00:45:34.920 well
00:45:35.900 everybody
00:45:36.240 that's
00:45:36.540 the
