00:00:00.000 Tonight, who are the most powerful anti-oil, anti-industry lobbyists in Canada?
00:00:06.040 Well, that's easy. They're your kids' school teachers.
00:00:09.820 It's April 13th, and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:18.200 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:22.000 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:25.720 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:28.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:39.180 So who is blocking the oil pipelines in Canada?
00:00:42.520 Who killed the Northern Gateway Pipeline?
00:00:44.800 Who killed the Energy East Pipeline?
00:00:47.480 Who is killing the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion right now?
00:00:52.780 Who's driving out all the oil sands companies?
00:00:55.080 My favorite example, or least favorite example, I don't know,
00:00:58.080 because it's so shocking, is this company called Total SA.
00:01:01.400 It's a huge French oil company that pulled out of Canada's oil sands,
00:01:04.900 and then chose instead to invest billions in Iran.
00:01:08.100 Iran, a theocratic dictatorship building a nuclear weapon, 0.69
00:01:11.240 threatening its neighbors, being threatened by Donald Trump,
00:01:13.880 slow-burning civil war from its own people.
00:01:16.300 That same Iran, it's thought by cold-blooded, profit-oriented businessmen, 1.00
00:01:21.240 to be a safer bet in which to invest a better risk-adjusted rate of return for their money
00:01:28.360 than investing in Canada's oil sands.
00:01:31.100 Let that sink in for a minute.
00:01:32.640 So who's to blame for all this?
00:01:34.480 The answer will surprise you.
00:01:35.940 I'll tell you my theory in a moment.
00:01:38.240 I mean, you could obviously blame Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts.
00:01:41.820 The Northern Gateway Pipeline was approved by Canada's regulators
00:01:45.500 after an extensive consultation.
00:01:48.120 Contracts were signed with local Indian bands
00:01:50.240 who actually got to own 10% of the pipeline project.
00:01:53.800 Everything was set to go, but then Trudeau killed it with an executive order.
00:01:58.260 No doubt who killed that.
00:02:01.080 Now, the assassination of the Energy East Pipeline was a little bit stealthier.
00:02:05.600 Trudeau and Gerald Butts and Catherine McKenna,
00:02:07.900 the environment minister, and Jim Carr, the impotent energy minister,
00:02:11.860 they didn't want to be seen pulling the trigger this time,
00:02:14.380 so they changed the rules for the Energy East Pipeline
00:02:17.660 years into its application process.
00:02:20.500 They said the pipeline would now have to answer for any oil
00:02:23.340 that might be shipped in it in the future.
00:02:26.040 The oil itself would be judged from a global warming point of view,
00:02:30.180 which is a standard that has never been applied in the history of anywhere
00:02:33.560 and would not be applied by Trudeau to oil imported to Canada
00:02:37.440 from OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia
00:02:40.160 or even brought into Canada by train,
00:02:43.040 which is happening a lot these days.
00:02:44.560 So Trudeau and Butts and McKenna made it impossible.
00:02:47.540 They technically didn't kill Energy East in the same way
00:02:50.060 they just made it impossible for Energy East to proceed
00:02:52.660 by changing the rules of the game midway through the game.
00:02:55.460 So Energy East left, and Trudeau blamed them, actually.
00:02:58.700 But no, again, Trudeau was to blame.
00:03:01.000 There were supporting actors there, too, of course.
00:03:03.200 In the case of Energy East, there was Denis Coderre,
00:03:05.480 the former mayor of Montreal, who demonized the pipeline
00:03:08.140 and gave Trudeau the political cover in Quebec
00:03:09.940 to kill that great jobs project. 0.94
00:03:13.600 Oh, and then Trudeau and McKenna added some more new, weird rules
00:03:16.380 for any proposed future projects.
00:03:18.620 Remember this?
00:03:19.200 The project's decisions will be based on science, evidence,
00:03:22.680 and Indigenous traditional knowledge.
00:03:25.300 We're also taking a bigger picture look at the potential impacts
00:03:28.060 of our proposed projects.
00:03:30.040 Instead of just looking at the environmental impacts,
00:03:32.640 we'll look at how a project could affect our communities and health,
00:03:36.300 jobs and the economy over the long term,
00:03:38.820 and we'll also do a gender-based analysis.
00:03:40.860 So if you have any industrial project going forward
00:03:45.100 and you're acing your application
00:03:46.680 because you've got the best technology in the world
00:03:49.020 and you know your business
00:03:50.040 and you're the safest operator in the world
00:03:52.080 and you're tip-top environmentally,
00:03:53.900 well, Trudeau and McKenna will say,
00:03:55.320 oh, yeah, well, do you mean gender analysis tests?
00:03:59.640 How about transgender analysis?
00:04:02.660 Yeah.
00:04:03.200 You're going to leave Canada.
00:04:04.740 You'll probably even go to Iran.
00:04:06.300 And now Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain
00:04:08.720 suspending the last pipeline project, still going.
00:04:12.260 John Horgan, the B.C. premier, is certainly to blame as well.
00:04:15.200 But as he himself acknowledges,
00:04:17.620 he actually has no real power to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
00:04:20.800 It's a federal jurisdiction.
00:04:22.340 The federal regulator has approved it.
00:04:24.080 Kinder Morgan has won any court battles
00:04:26.120 that have been heard so far.
00:04:27.680 John Horgan has been advised by his own government lawyers
00:04:30.020 that if they even try tricky business,
00:04:32.320 like slow walking the granting of permits,
00:04:35.240 they'll open themselves up to huge lawsuits
00:04:37.940 from Kinder Morgan for illegal bias.
00:04:40.520 As in, John Horgan knows he can't actually stop it
00:04:43.320 and he can't really even slow it down.
00:04:46.140 And yet he has, hasn't he?
00:04:49.320 How does he get away with it?
00:04:52.020 Well, each of the people I've listed is to blame for sure.
00:04:55.160 Rachel Notley, too. Big time.
00:04:56.880 She didn't breathe a peep of protest
00:04:58.560 when Barack Obama killed the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:05:01.800 She was happy.
00:05:03.380 Donald Trump later revived it.
00:05:04.920 But she actually cheered its death.
00:05:09.160 Our position on the Keystone was that
00:05:11.360 if we ship unprocessed bitumen to Texas,
00:05:16.020 according to this government and to the American government,
00:05:18.940 we will give tens of thousands of Alberta jobs to Texas,
00:05:22.860 not to Albertans.
00:05:23.820 And that's not what Albertans want to see.
00:05:25.460 Just in case you're wondering,
00:05:28.060 she was premier there. 0.99
00:05:29.300 That was not her in opposition.
00:05:31.160 When Trudeau killed the Northern Gateway pipeline,
00:05:33.640 she didn't utter a peep of protest either.
00:05:36.440 She consented.
00:05:38.440 She aided and abetted it.
00:05:41.420 Prime Minister Trudeau is showing some extraordinary leadership today.
00:05:44.800 And when Energy East was killed,
00:05:48.160 she didn't care.
00:05:50.160 Of course she was quiet.
00:05:51.380 She had been quiet all along,
00:05:53.300 not lifting a finger to go to promote the pipeline out east
00:05:55.980 or to demand that Trudeau do so either.
00:05:58.140 So now the last pipeline is being killed,
00:06:00.540 and Notley suddenly, I guess, has panicked,
00:06:04.000 realizing it's really her only desperate long shot
00:06:06.820 of surviving in next year's Alberta election.
00:06:10.420 I think she has no chance, of course,
00:06:11.940 but she thinks she might
00:06:12.940 if she renounces everything she's ever said about pipelines,
00:06:16.180 like at this protest.
00:06:17.700 And if the rest of us are stupid enough not to notice,
00:06:21.640 yesterday she actually attended a pro-pipeline protest.
00:06:24.720 Seriously, look at these pictures she tweeted.
00:06:27.400 Don't they look like they love pipelines?
00:06:29.680 They really hate pretending, her staff.
00:06:32.300 Look at them.
00:06:32.700 And look, there's David Egan, a cabinet minister,
00:06:35.600 pretending he really loves oil sands pipelines too.
00:06:38.740 Do they think we're so stupid
00:06:40.420 to remember their lifetime of opposition to the oil sands?
00:06:43.840 Here's a quick reminder of David Egan.
00:06:45.900 Doing the right thing.
00:06:47.440 And I say that doing the right thing means
00:06:49.780 that we have no new approvals for tar sand projects,
00:06:52.720 and we start to invest money into a renewable energy
00:06:56.080 and into a sustainable economy.
00:06:57.940 Yeah!
00:07:02.700 No new approvals!
00:07:05.480 And look at one more photo in what Rachel Notley tweeted.
00:07:13.480 There's a sign in front of the legislature
00:07:16.320 in support of a pipeline, allegedly,
00:07:19.260 from that huge labor union called Unifor.
00:07:21.400 Do you see the Unifor sign there?
00:07:22.440 It's a labor union that employs Nora Loretto, 1.00
00:07:26.580 for example, the monster who attacked the humble Broncos victims.
00:07:29.600 So Unifor, as you can see, is pretending to support the oil sands now too,
00:07:34.860 just like Notley does.
00:07:37.140 Now, for years, Unifor has spent its members' union dues
00:07:40.480 fighting against pipelines,
00:07:42.120 especially the Kinder Morgan pipeline,
00:07:44.360 denouncing it in press release after press release,
00:07:46.780 and rallies, and lobbying.
00:07:48.500 I want to show you an old grainy video I found
00:07:50.240 of their former president, Dave Coles,
00:07:53.000 saying the idea of Canadian oil being ethical
00:07:57.100 is something only an idiot would say.
00:08:00.260 Take a look.
00:08:01.280 And what blooming idiot
00:08:03.240 came up with the idea of ethical oil?
00:08:07.800 Yeah, are we supposed to pretend
00:08:11.920 they haven't been fighting against pipelines
00:08:14.120 for almost 10 years?
00:08:15.440 Like Rachel Notley,
00:08:16.640 they are hoping you will forget all that
00:08:18.680 and believe that they truly, truly support oil, really.
00:08:22.720 But here's my point.
00:08:24.040 These destroyers, Justin Trudeau,
00:08:25.660 Gerald Butts, Catherine McKenna,
00:08:27.260 Rachel Notley, John Horgan,
00:08:28.660 who haven't ever built anything in their lives,
00:08:31.320 they're the takers of society,
00:08:33.240 who hate the makers,
00:08:34.620 the taxers and spenders,
00:08:36.080 who finally, oh my God,
00:08:37.580 killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
00:08:39.280 They couldn't exist without your kids.
00:08:44.340 Your kids, who then grow up and become voters,
00:08:47.760 who support selfie-taking airheads
00:08:50.200 like Trudeau and McKenna,
00:08:51.840 who oppose pipelines.
00:08:52.800 Now, kids aren't normally bad, of course.
00:08:55.940 They're not normally political.
00:08:58.620 They might be idealistic and naive,
00:09:00.400 that's part of being young,
00:09:01.260 but they're not political activists natively,
00:09:03.780 normally, no.
00:09:04.560 But put them in the hands of political ideologues
00:09:07.860 from kindergarten on,
00:09:11.000 from kindergarten to grade 12,
00:09:12.500 and then finish them off in university.
00:09:14.760 And then you've got a generation of walking, 0.97
00:09:16.760 talking leftist robots
00:09:17.740 who hate oil and gas and capitalism,
00:09:20.340 and they'll tweet that to you from their iPhone.
00:09:23.640 That's one thing you've got to hand to the kooks at PETA.
00:09:27.860 Here's that PETA terrorist
00:09:29.600 who shot up the YouTube headquarters the other day.
00:09:32.780 At least when PETA extremists
00:09:35.080 are haranguing you not to eat meat
00:09:37.100 and not to wear fur,
00:09:38.920 they are not eating meat and wearing fur
00:09:40.900 while telling you not to.
00:09:42.860 But I have never in my life
00:09:44.160 met an anti-oil activist
00:09:45.280 who does not use oil and gas
00:09:47.140 and plastic and artificial fibers
00:09:49.420 and every benefit from oil and gas,
00:09:51.480 even as they tell you not to use oil and gas.
00:09:53.940 I've never seen that once.
00:09:55.280 It's actually the opposite.
00:09:56.300 They're leaders.
00:09:56.980 From Al Gore to Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:09:58.940 they love private jets and yachts.
00:10:04.040 But it starts young.
00:10:06.280 Every teacher's kit in Canada,
00:10:08.240 whether officially coming from
00:10:09.320 the leftist universities
00:10:10.580 or coming right in
00:10:11.800 from environmental lobby groups
00:10:12.960 in our schools,
00:10:14.080 it's anti-oil, anti-industry, anti-energy.
00:10:16.620 It's the default.
00:10:17.800 When you criticize or question
00:10:19.460 that curriculum,
00:10:21.200 teachers don't even understand
00:10:22.100 what you're saying.
00:10:22.740 It's like they hear someone
00:10:23.660 who's opposed to a
00:10:24.940 don't litter campaign.
00:10:26.400 They don't even understand
00:10:27.880 there's another side to the story.
00:10:29.940 They can't even conceive of it.
00:10:31.740 To them, saying you support energy
00:10:33.280 is like saying you support littering.
00:10:35.880 And so they're teaching your children
00:10:37.980 from kindergarten,
00:10:39.320 and that's just normal
00:10:40.260 to oppose oil and gas.
00:10:43.260 Go to any zoo.
00:10:44.300 Go to any aquarium.
00:10:45.100 Go to any museum of nature
00:10:46.380 in this country,
00:10:47.740 and odds are it's been turned
00:10:49.180 into a propaganda installation.
00:10:51.180 Global warming as fact,
00:10:52.900 as human cause.
00:10:53.940 When I was a kid,
00:10:54.700 I used to love reading
00:10:55.600 every little plaque,
00:10:56.700 explaining things in a museum.
00:10:58.220 Facts, history.
00:10:59.120 Now it's all politics.
00:11:00.520 The politics of blaming
00:11:01.640 and scolding and fear,
00:11:03.840 instilling fear into our kids
00:11:05.480 that we're making things extinct
00:11:06.800 because we dare to drive,
00:11:08.460 which is not true.
00:11:09.980 At best, it's a theory,
00:11:11.220 man-made global warming,
00:11:12.140 one of various theories,
00:11:13.000 but it is just normal facts now
00:11:15.280 in schools.
00:11:16.340 I say this because I see the news.
00:11:18.860 That the University of Alberta
00:11:19.900 in Edmonton
00:11:20.980 is going to award
00:11:22.720 an honorary degree,
00:11:24.780 the University of Alberta
00:11:25.540 in Edmonton,
00:11:26.340 heart of the oil patch,
00:11:27.200 gateway to the north,
00:11:28.300 where the oil signs are,
00:11:29.640 honorary degree
00:11:30.640 to David Suzuki.
00:11:33.660 This is a city from which
00:11:34.860 the three killed oil pipelines
00:11:37.680 would have emanated.
00:11:38.500 They seriously chose
00:11:39.960 this moment
00:11:40.780 to praise and reward
00:11:42.800 David Suzuki.
00:11:44.560 Here's the picture of Suzuki.
00:11:45.920 I want to show you
00:11:46.340 the next picture.
00:11:47.680 There it is.
00:11:49.420 Blockading the Kinder Morgan
00:11:51.020 facility in B.C.
00:11:53.060 He is literally standing
00:11:55.280 in front of Kinder Morgan
00:11:56.620 protesting it.
00:11:58.340 By the way,
00:11:58.980 there was a riot in Burnaby
00:12:00.600 at a Kinder Morgan installation.
00:12:02.580 As you can see
00:12:03.360 in that headline there,
00:12:04.160 people were arrested
00:12:05.120 for the violence.
00:12:06.020 Suzuki was in solidarity
00:12:08.140 with them
00:12:08.780 with violent protesters
00:12:10.780 and he is being awarded
00:12:12.900 by the U of A?
00:12:14.800 Here's a clip we filmed
00:12:15.840 back at the Sun News Network
00:12:17.000 at one of the
00:12:17.880 anti-Kinder Morgan riots
00:12:19.360 where Suzuki attended
00:12:20.880 on Burnaby Mountain
00:12:21.840 to cheer them on.
00:12:27.020 And the University of Alberta
00:12:34.360 just invited him
00:12:35.120 to recognize him
00:12:37.100 and honor him.
00:12:37.680 By the way,
00:12:38.380 he's only the worst
00:12:39.800 of a very bad list.
00:12:40.840 Literally two other
00:12:41.780 far-left Canadian politicians
00:12:43.440 are being awarded,
00:12:44.620 a far-left New Zealand politician,
00:12:46.680 a far-left CBC reporter.
00:12:48.340 That is who the U of A
00:12:49.400 thinks reflects its values.
00:12:51.620 People who hate Alberta,
00:12:53.120 hate the industry,
00:12:54.340 hate people in the oil patch.
00:12:57.080 Do you see what I'm hinting at here?
00:12:58.180 I'm not even hinting at it.
00:12:58.900 I'm saying it outright.
00:13:00.100 Trudeau, Notley, Horgan, Butts,
00:13:01.520 they're extreme.
00:13:02.440 Shutting down our oil
00:13:04.580 and gas industry is extreme.
00:13:06.660 It's also stupid,
00:13:07.760 given that we simply
00:13:08.400 replace Canadian oil
00:13:09.680 with OPEC imports.
00:13:11.620 Now with American imports, 0.91
00:13:12.760 too, if you can believe it.
00:13:13.920 But the culture
00:13:14.580 has been engineered
00:13:15.660 to support that extremism.
00:13:18.220 Look at this.
00:13:19.160 That's Zipporah Berman,
00:13:20.580 the anti-oil extremist
00:13:21.840 with Greenpeace,
00:13:23.020 who until recently
00:13:23.820 served as Rachel Notley's
00:13:25.060 senior oil science advisor.
00:13:26.320 Look at what she's tweeting.
00:13:28.500 She was thrilled
00:13:29.100 to be in Banff
00:13:29.840 to speak to the
00:13:30.520 Alberta Teachers Association
00:13:31.740 convention.
00:13:33.120 I bet they paid her 0.80
00:13:33.920 a healthy fee also.
00:13:35.220 Probably not David Suzuki's
00:13:36.380 $30,000 standard fee,
00:13:38.220 but probably $10,000
00:13:39.060 to indoctrinate teachers
00:13:41.720 into the vocabulary
00:13:43.820 of anti-oil sands
00:13:45.160 and anti-pipeline hatred.
00:13:47.080 And look,
00:13:47.620 they tweeted right back at her,
00:13:48.860 totally in love.
00:13:50.960 And look what I saw just now.
00:13:52.240 I saw a little story
00:13:53.220 about this
00:13:53.700 in the Edmonton Journal, too.
00:13:55.040 Just a dad,
00:13:56.080 a regular guy,
00:13:57.320 Samuel Kemble is his name,
00:13:58.960 ordinary fellow,
00:14:00.040 worked in the oil patch
00:14:00.880 in Edmonton,
00:14:01.520 not a politician,
00:14:02.880 went to a school play
00:14:04.360 with his daughter.
00:14:05.700 His daughter had a speaking
00:14:06.640 role in the play,
00:14:07.220 so he wanted to be there.
00:14:08.800 Here's what he wrote
00:14:09.520 on LinkedIn.
00:14:10.560 This is just a normal guy.
00:14:11.640 He said,
00:14:12.640 Yesterday I went to
00:14:13.720 a school play in Edmonton.
00:14:15.060 My daughter is in grade four.
00:14:16.420 The school had trickster theater
00:14:17.960 through a program funded
00:14:19.460 by the Alberta
00:14:20.080 provincial government.
00:14:21.280 Work with the kids
00:14:22.120 to develop mini play themes
00:14:24.160 and content.
00:14:25.280 In the play,
00:14:25.880 the kids sabotaged a factory
00:14:27.640 in the name of climate change
00:14:29.260 and then went on
00:14:30.000 to save Alberta
00:14:30.680 from its evil oil industry
00:14:32.760 and greedy oil barons.
00:14:35.220 Exactly what I want
00:14:35.960 my daughter to be taught,
00:14:36.940 to be an uninformed
00:14:37.940 eco-terrorist.
00:14:39.360 Thanks for nothing,
00:14:40.160 Escuela Mill Creek School.
00:14:43.400 His own daughter
00:14:44.340 was being taught
00:14:44.960 to demonize
00:14:45.820 her own family,
00:14:47.540 her dad even.
00:14:49.520 Kemble told some more
00:14:50.460 details of it
00:14:51.080 to the Edmonton Journal.
00:14:51.900 Let me read from the journal.
00:14:52.640 He said,
00:14:53.680 this is what the journal says,
00:14:54.900 In his daughter's skit
00:14:55.800 for the grade four class,
00:14:57.100 she had the line,
00:14:59.000 We have to save Alberta.
00:15:01.040 Kemble wondered
00:15:01.700 what was threatening Alberta.
00:15:03.520 This was quickly answered
00:15:04.460 by one of the adult performers
00:15:06.020 from the evil oil industry
00:15:08.780 and greedy oil barons.
00:15:11.860 Let me read some more
00:15:12.540 because the school board
00:15:13.460 itself sent out
00:15:14.280 a spin doctor
00:15:14.900 to defend this play.
00:15:17.260 Quote,
00:15:17.760 In response to Kemble,
00:15:19.060 both Trickster Theatre
00:15:20.260 and the school board
00:15:21.240 stressed that
00:15:21.800 while the theatre company
00:15:22.900 organized the skits,
00:15:24.200 it was the children themselves
00:15:25.580 who came up
00:15:26.420 with the specific messages.
00:15:27.880 Yeah,
00:15:28.120 do you believe that?
00:15:29.600 Do you believe that?
00:15:31.060 I'll quote some more.
00:15:32.300 David Chentler
00:15:33.120 of Trickster Theatre
00:15:34.040 says in the grade three skit,
00:15:36.160 the students were just trying
00:15:37.240 to stop a factory
00:15:38.180 from polluting,
00:15:39.420 not acting as terrorists.
00:15:41.460 Quote,
00:15:41.840 But I think it's an
00:15:42.460 over-the-top association
00:15:43.680 on the part of a parent
00:15:44.980 to say that the teacher
00:15:46.120 has knowingly created
00:15:47.280 a peace-promoting terrorism,
00:15:48.720 he says.
00:15:50.120 Yeah,
00:15:50.780 yeah,
00:15:51.040 that dad was totally
00:15:51.820 over-the-top,
00:15:52.380 wasn't he?
00:15:53.000 Like any greedy oil man
00:15:54.380 would be,
00:15:55.260 wouldn't he?
00:15:56.220 Let me read some more.
00:15:57.440 As for the grade four skit,
00:15:59.060 school board spokesperson
00:16:00.120 Kerry Rosa
00:16:01.000 says it was about
00:16:02.260 the children traveling
00:16:03.280 50 years into the future,
00:16:04.960 seeing the negative impacts
00:16:06.180 of climate change,
00:16:06.840 then coming back
00:16:07.700 to warn others
00:16:08.480 about fixing the problem.
00:16:10.100 They talked about
00:16:10.780 things like pollution,
00:16:11.840 factories,
00:16:12.700 the oil and gas industry,
00:16:14.300 Rosa said.
00:16:15.300 No adult pushed the children
00:16:17.320 to attack the oil industry,
00:16:18.920 Rosa says.
00:16:19.640 We want to be really clear
00:16:21.020 about this.
00:16:21.680 This was their idea.
00:16:23.500 Yeah,
00:16:24.200 do you believe that?
00:16:25.780 Do you believe that?
00:16:28.160 Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley
00:16:29.700 and their whole band
00:16:30.480 of destroyers,
00:16:31.240 they are the ones
00:16:31.960 pulling the trigger,
00:16:33.200 killing Canadian industry,
00:16:34.580 but it would not be possible
00:16:35.780 without decades
00:16:37.420 of this propaganda
00:16:38.340 foisted on children
00:16:39.940 from kindergarten on
00:16:41.640 and those kindergarten students
00:16:43.400 grow up
00:16:44.040 and they choose
00:16:46.040 who rules us.
00:16:48.160 P.S.
00:16:48.540 If you're in Alberta
00:16:49.160 this weekend,
00:16:50.040 come to our two
00:16:50.760 pro-pipeline rallies
00:16:51.820 tomorrow,
00:16:52.400 Saturday in Edmonton
00:16:53.420 at the legislature
00:16:54.340 from 1 to 3 p.m.
00:16:55.560 and then Sunday
00:16:56.460 at City Hall
00:16:57.900 in Calgary
00:16:58.660 from 1 to 3 p.m.
00:17:00.260 If you want more info,
00:17:01.380 go to
00:17:01.620 repealthecarbontax.com.
00:17:04.160 If you're in Alberta,
00:17:04.980 I hope to see you
00:17:05.780 on this weekend.
00:17:07.020 Stay with us.
00:17:07.580 More ahead.
00:17:07.940 I have every expectation
00:17:25.920 that people will respect
00:17:27.400 British Columbia's right
00:17:28.640 to defend our interests
00:17:30.180 and to defend our coast.
00:17:31.620 That's what I will do,
00:17:32.900 but my preoccupation
00:17:34.080 is the people
00:17:34.580 of British Columbia
00:17:35.220 and their focus
00:17:36.220 is on the things
00:17:37.140 that I just talked about.
00:17:38.540 Affordability,
00:17:39.240 services,
00:17:40.160 and ensuring
00:17:40.580 that we can continue
00:17:41.680 to have a prosperous,
00:17:43.020 dynamic economy
00:17:43.800 that's very mindful
00:17:45.000 of the environment.
00:17:46.260 Again,
00:17:46.840 $35 a ton carbon price,
00:17:48.720 the highest in the country.
00:17:49.960 A commitment
00:17:50.400 to a climate action plan
00:17:51.720 that will reduce
00:17:52.400 our emissions
00:17:52.960 in the future.
00:17:54.440 These are the things
00:17:55.120 that British Columbians
00:17:55.880 voted on
00:17:56.620 a year ago
00:17:58.320 this month
00:17:59.180 and that's the agenda
00:18:00.420 that I'm going to
00:18:00.920 follow through on.
00:18:01.520 Well, there you have it.
00:18:03.560 That was from Sunday.
00:18:05.540 Premier John Horgan
00:18:06.220 of British Columbia
00:18:06.820 is saying,
00:18:07.320 hey, nay, no problem.
00:18:08.400 We can scrap
00:18:09.240 a $7.4 billion
00:18:11.280 infrastructure project
00:18:13.120 in B.C.
00:18:14.280 That's not going to let
00:18:15.200 people think
00:18:15.780 we're anti-business
00:18:16.580 or anything.
00:18:17.120 We've got a booming economy.
00:18:18.760 He claims that he speaks
00:18:20.140 for British Columbians
00:18:21.080 and he has the mandate
00:18:22.500 in the election
00:18:23.060 to block the Trans Mountain
00:18:24.060 pipeline,
00:18:24.980 although we know
00:18:25.680 that he and his
00:18:26.740 justice minister
00:18:27.720 and environment minister
00:18:28.700 have been advised
00:18:29.720 by their own
00:18:30.400 departmental lawyers
00:18:31.280 that they have
00:18:31.760 no constitutional basis
00:18:32.920 for blocking
00:18:33.880 the pipeline
00:18:34.360 or even for causing
00:18:35.580 them unreasonable delay
00:18:36.840 and if they were
00:18:37.460 to try doing so
00:18:38.300 they would open
00:18:39.220 the province up
00:18:39.920 to massive liability
00:18:41.800 for a lawsuit
00:18:42.760 from Kinder Morgan.
00:18:43.760 They're in a strange
00:18:44.380 position.
00:18:45.200 They know what
00:18:45.860 they're doing
00:18:46.440 is legally untenable
00:18:48.220 and they should know
00:18:49.880 what they're doing
00:18:50.540 is contrary
00:18:51.560 to the business
00:18:52.300 reputation of the province
00:18:53.260 but they're doing it anyways.
00:18:54.620 Well, we want to bring
00:18:55.500 in a voice
00:18:56.100 of contrary opinion
00:18:58.020 that I believe
00:18:59.040 represents most
00:19:00.060 British Columbians
00:19:00.840 on this subject
00:19:01.580 and I say that
00:19:02.400 not just because
00:19:03.180 I want it to be true
00:19:04.040 but poll after poll
00:19:05.240 has consistently shown
00:19:07.040 that more British Columbians
00:19:08.820 support pipelines
00:19:10.600 if they're done
00:19:11.740 to the standards
00:19:12.860 of safety
00:19:13.340 that they're always done
00:19:14.300 than oppose them
00:19:15.800 even after this fight.
00:19:17.680 And joining us now
00:19:18.260 via Skype
00:19:18.840 is our friend Aaron Gunn
00:19:20.240 who's a spokesperson
00:19:21.140 for BC Proud.
00:19:22.640 Aaron, great to see you again.
00:19:24.580 Thanks Ezra.
00:19:25.520 It's great to see you as well.
00:19:26.560 I know it's a fact
00:19:28.180 that John Horgan
00:19:28.960 has run
00:19:29.860 as an environmental
00:19:30.780 objector
00:19:33.500 someone who would
00:19:34.360 say no
00:19:35.760 to just about everything
00:19:37.020 and his worst instincts
00:19:39.080 are emphasized
00:19:40.100 by his coalition
00:19:41.340 with the
00:19:42.700 Rump Green Party
00:19:44.480 so you've really got
00:19:45.840 the worst
00:19:46.300 of the NDP instincts here
00:19:47.680 it's totally not
00:19:48.640 the party
00:19:49.180 of the working man
00:19:50.740 that the BC NDP
00:19:51.900 used to represent
00:19:52.640 and that's why
00:19:53.900 I think he's wrong
00:19:55.340 Aaron.
00:19:56.320 He's wrong legally
00:19:56.980 he's wrong constitutionally
00:19:58.100 a lot of British Columbians
00:20:00.000 who wear hard hats
00:20:01.180 who work in unions
00:20:02.740 they work in resources
00:20:04.440 whether it's forestry
00:20:05.660 or fracking
00:20:06.880 or pipelines
00:20:08.200 or at that massive
00:20:09.500 gorgeous gorgeous
00:20:11.100 industrial port
00:20:12.500 and so I think
00:20:13.900 John Horgan
00:20:14.420 does not actually
00:20:15.180 represent working men
00:20:16.180 and women
00:20:16.520 when he's against
00:20:17.520 this 7.4 billion
00:20:18.840 jobs project.
00:20:21.400 No you're totally
00:20:22.620 right there
00:20:23.060 and I think
00:20:23.440 even more importantly
00:20:24.500 he doesn't represent
00:20:25.420 a majority
00:20:26.040 of British Columbians
00:20:26.940 as you pointed out
00:20:27.620 to your poll
00:20:28.080 and I think that
00:20:29.080 really begins
00:20:29.760 with the last election
00:20:30.720 which the provincial NDP
00:20:32.600 didn't actually
00:20:33.500 win the popular vote
00:20:34.660 or the most seats
00:20:35.540 and they were forced
00:20:36.780 to form a coalition
00:20:38.080 with the Green Party
00:20:38.960 and it's kind of
00:20:39.520 I think a case
00:20:40.700 of the tail wagging
00:20:41.460 the dog here
00:20:42.000 where you have
00:20:42.420 the radicals
00:20:43.540 both that are
00:20:44.240 within the NDP party
00:20:45.520 and the Green Party
00:20:46.240 itself that are
00:20:47.100 forcing this
00:20:48.160 untenable action
00:20:49.540 from John Horgan
00:20:50.780 opposing a project
00:20:52.280 that's been federally
00:20:52.960 approved
00:20:53.360 that he has
00:20:54.340 no right
00:20:54.780 to oppose
00:20:55.400 that's supported
00:20:56.440 by a majority
00:20:57.020 of British Columbians
00:20:57.860 in poll after poll
00:20:58.820 and yet here we are
00:21:00.060 driving away investment
00:21:01.460 and scaring away
00:21:02.280 jobs and what would
00:21:04.020 be a tax stream
00:21:05.080 into the BC economy
00:21:06.480 and Canadian economy.
00:21:07.760 Yeah.
00:21:08.020 I want to play you
00:21:09.500 one more clip
00:21:10.120 and it's not that long
00:21:11.380 it's a clip of Horgan
00:21:12.300 saying look
00:21:12.900 if Quebec could cancel
00:21:15.040 the pipeline
00:21:15.780 going through them
00:21:16.860 that's the Energy East pipeline
00:21:18.820 that was twice as expensive
00:21:19.780 by the way
00:21:20.220 that was more
00:21:20.680 than 15 billion
00:21:21.780 basically John Horgan
00:21:23.300 saying why does Quebec
00:21:24.360 get to block a pipeline
00:21:26.040 but we can't
00:21:27.280 and there's
00:21:28.140 there is a
00:21:29.080 form of logic there
00:21:30.740 I mean I think it's
00:21:31.480 it was outrageous
00:21:32.580 that Denis Coderre
00:21:33.780 a mayor
00:21:35.700 who was so unpopular
00:21:36.800 that he actually
00:21:37.460 lost his re-election
00:21:38.740 if a mayor
00:21:39.880 could basically
00:21:40.640 single-handedly
00:21:41.560 block
00:21:42.100 the pipeline
00:21:43.240 why can't he
00:21:44.320 let me play that
00:21:45.000 quick clip
00:21:45.460 we showed this
00:21:46.040 on Monday
00:21:46.560 I believe there are
00:21:48.000 a number of factors
00:21:48.700 at play here
00:21:49.520 that I think all
00:21:50.460 British Columbians
00:21:51.040 need to understand
00:21:51.780 firstly
00:21:52.220 the Energy East pipeline
00:21:54.340 was stopped
00:21:56.000 and there was no
00:21:57.460 consequence from that
00:21:58.580 it's true
00:22:00.620 Quebec didn't get 0.59
00:22:02.360 a downgrade
00:22:03.140 it didn't get
00:22:03.680 a stern lecture
00:22:04.580 either from Rachel Notley
00:22:05.720 or Justin Trudeau
00:22:06.860 there was no
00:22:07.500 constitutional crisis
00:22:08.660 there was no
00:22:09.540 clawing back 0.94
00:22:10.340 of transfer payments
00:22:11.320 or equalization payments
00:22:12.400 to Quebec
00:22:13.200 you know
00:22:14.080 I don't like
00:22:14.900 John Horgan's
00:22:15.840 point of view
00:22:16.520 I disagree with him
00:22:17.420 completely
00:22:17.940 but he is making
00:22:19.600 a point
00:22:20.200 why can Denis Coderre
00:22:21.740 block a $15 billion
00:22:23.040 pipeline
00:22:23.620 but he can't block
00:22:24.480 a $7 billion one
00:22:25.780 yeah I think
00:22:27.560 it comes down
00:22:28.060 to the root
00:22:28.460 of this problem
00:22:29.220 Ezra actually
00:22:30.000 which is the
00:22:30.620 complete lack
00:22:31.500 of leadership
00:22:32.540 of any kind
00:22:33.220 by the federal
00:22:33.760 government
00:22:34.160 and I think
00:22:35.140 you see the
00:22:35.800 consequences
00:22:36.460 of that happening
00:22:37.480 from Energy East
00:22:38.240 where another
00:22:39.520 company now
00:22:40.080 Kinder Morgan
00:22:40.560 is starting to
00:22:41.180 kind of get
00:22:41.460 the jitters
00:22:41.900 about this project
00:22:43.200 even though it's
00:22:44.240 actually already
00:22:44.760 been approved
00:22:45.380 and I think
00:22:46.820 that again
00:22:47.120 that's all a
00:22:47.540 consequence of
00:22:48.120 the federal
00:22:48.380 government
00:22:48.720 not showing
00:22:49.260 leadership
00:22:49.620 not following
00:22:50.300 through
00:22:50.620 this is
00:22:51.680 their domain
00:22:52.640 constitutionally
00:22:53.500 I don't think
00:22:53.840 there shouldn't
00:22:54.700 be and there
00:22:55.120 isn't much
00:22:55.580 doubt about that
00:22:56.340 and right now
00:22:57.180 it's just a
00:22:57.620 lack of political
00:22:59.060 will or political
00:22:59.900 competence
00:23:00.440 or I'm not sure
00:23:01.060 which one it is
00:23:02.160 to get these
00:23:02.980 projects done
00:23:03.940 that are so
00:23:04.940 important for the
00:23:05.720 Canadian economy
00:23:06.500 yeah
00:23:07.120 you know
00:23:07.960 I noticed
00:23:09.400 that a couple
00:23:10.020 of senior
00:23:10.700 British Columbia
00:23:12.260 liberal MPs
00:23:13.780 in fact
00:23:14.040 cabinet ministers
00:23:14.920 Harjeet Sajan
00:23:16.040 the defense
00:23:16.880 minister
00:23:17.200 he's from BC
00:23:18.040 and so is
00:23:19.060 the justice
00:23:19.500 minister
00:23:20.020 Jody Wilson
00:23:20.940 Raybould
00:23:21.400 and both of
00:23:22.380 them were
00:23:23.600 scrummed
00:23:24.560 this week
00:23:25.480 in Ottawa
00:23:26.400 because of course
00:23:27.060 this is quite
00:23:27.540 a big issue
00:23:28.220 in Ottawa
00:23:28.620 neither one
00:23:30.600 of them
00:23:31.020 would go
00:23:31.600 on the record
00:23:32.280 supporting
00:23:33.080 the Trans Mountain
00:23:34.360 pipeline
00:23:34.860 that's quite
00:23:36.480 telling
00:23:36.960 that
00:23:37.720 Justin Trudeau
00:23:39.040 who claims
00:23:39.640 this is in
00:23:40.080 the national
00:23:40.480 interest
00:23:40.760 who claims
00:23:41.220 he really
00:23:41.640 wants this
00:23:42.360 to happen
00:23:42.940 I'm a skeptic
00:23:43.600 of that
00:23:43.900 his right-hand
00:23:44.720 man was an 0.99
00:23:45.260 anti-pipeline
00:23:45.880 lobbyist
00:23:46.280 Gerald Butz
00:23:46.840 but when
00:23:47.840 the two
00:23:48.620 point men
00:23:49.280 in Quebec
00:23:49.960 in BC
00:23:51.240 Harjeet Sajan
00:23:52.360 and Jody
00:23:52.760 Wilson
00:23:53.060 Raybould
00:23:53.400 should be
00:23:54.420 selling this
00:23:55.160 they won't
00:23:56.100 even whisper
00:23:56.960 their support
00:23:58.280 for it
00:23:58.760 I find that
00:23:59.400 deeply troubling
00:24:00.020 what do you
00:24:00.320 make of that
00:24:00.860 well I think
00:24:03.380 I mean obviously
00:24:04.060 I can
00:24:04.760 I don't know
00:24:05.680 exactly what's
00:24:06.240 going on in
00:24:06.700 Justin Trudeau's
00:24:07.380 head I can only
00:24:07.960 wonder
00:24:08.300 but
00:24:09.100 you know
00:24:10.360 one has to
00:24:10.840 think he's
00:24:11.300 been so
00:24:11.660 busy changing
00:24:12.500 the words
00:24:13.960 that various
00:24:14.560 government
00:24:14.900 officials are
00:24:15.480 allowed to
00:24:15.900 say at the
00:24:16.660 Service Canada
00:24:18.220 counter desk
00:24:18.840 that maybe
00:24:19.340 he hasn't had
00:24:20.120 enough time
00:24:20.560 to really think
00:24:21.040 this issue
00:24:21.480 through
00:24:21.840 for the good
00:24:22.840 of person
00:24:23.540 kind
00:24:23.860 for the good
00:24:24.240 of people
00:24:24.600 kind
00:24:24.980 he has to
00:24:25.680 deploy himself
00:24:26.480 exactly
00:24:28.020 exactly
00:24:28.740 so I think
00:24:30.540 you know
00:24:31.180 he's saying
00:24:31.540 it's in the
00:24:31.860 national interest
00:24:32.540 but maybe
00:24:33.000 deep down
00:24:34.020 he doesn't
00:24:34.340 think it's
00:24:34.700 in the interest
00:24:35.160 of people
00:24:35.540 kind
00:24:35.860 so I
00:24:37.540 think that
00:24:38.520 you know
00:24:39.540 you're hitting
00:24:40.400 it right on
00:24:41.520 the head
00:24:41.720 and I think
00:24:42.020 that's why
00:24:42.320 the liberals
00:24:42.660 are suffering
00:24:43.200 in the polls
00:24:43.700 one of the
00:24:44.200 reasons why
00:24:44.580 they're suffering
00:24:45.020 in the polls
00:24:45.460 is because
00:24:46.020 you know
00:24:46.760 they're almost
00:24:47.320 angering both
00:24:48.080 sides at this
00:24:48.660 point
00:24:48.940 which is kind
00:24:50.440 of the
00:24:50.680 I feel like
00:24:51.300 the traditional
00:24:51.860 way of how
00:24:52.380 the liberal
00:24:53.360 governments
00:24:53.880 usually collapse
00:24:54.660 is they
00:24:55.080 you know
00:24:55.400 they annoy
00:24:56.240 the left
00:24:56.680 and they annoy
00:24:57.180 the right
00:24:57.520 they're not
00:24:57.900 really
00:24:58.200 they're paying
00:24:59.540 lip service
00:25:00.020 to supporting
00:25:00.460 the pipeline
00:25:00.920 but they're not
00:25:01.360 really doing
00:25:01.780 anything to make
00:25:02.400 sure it's
00:25:03.180 constructed
00:25:03.660 yeah well you
00:25:04.800 know I
00:25:05.160 have said it
00:25:06.440 as a joke
00:25:07.040 before but I
00:25:07.800 have to say
00:25:08.240 it's true
00:25:08.680 if this pipeline
00:25:10.540 were owned
00:25:11.680 by Bombardier
00:25:13.000 and not by
00:25:14.240 Kinder Morgan
00:25:14.860 this pipeline
00:25:16.820 would have been
00:25:17.420 built by now
00:25:18.700 I mean if it
00:25:19.360 were in
00:25:20.420 Quebec's interest
00:25:21.560 a Quebec
00:25:22.260 company
00:25:22.780 Quebec shareholders
00:25:23.680 Quebec jobs
00:25:24.420 this pipeline
00:25:25.560 would have been
00:25:26.000 built already
00:25:26.680 it's a shame
00:25:27.340 that British
00:25:27.740 Columbia
00:25:28.100 and Alberta
00:25:28.660 don't have
00:25:29.760 the same
00:25:30.240 affection
00:25:31.040 by the powers
00:25:31.820 that be
00:25:32.180 Aaron it's
00:25:32.840 great to see

00:25:54.020 well listen
00:25:54.460 I'm really
00:25:54.920 glad you're
00:25:55.340 doing that
00:25:55.600 I know
00:25:55.900 Ontario Proud
00:25:56.740 are you
00:25:57.100 affiliated with
00:25:58.120 them
00:25:58.340 yeah
00:25:59.400 we're both
00:26:00.540 affiliated and
00:26:02.180 there's kind of
00:26:02.820 some different
00:26:03.140 people involved
00:26:03.860 there but
00:26:04.460 we're kind of
00:26:05.040 working together
00:26:05.480 towards the
00:26:05.900 same goal
00:26:06.320 I'm really
00:26:06.760 glad Ontario
00:26:07.400 Proud has
00:26:07.820 done some
00:26:08.180 very good
00:26:08.620 work online
00:26:09.160 they've
00:26:09.480 certainly caught
00:26:10.960 this moment
00:26:11.440 because they're
00:26:11.940 providing an
00:26:12.420 alternative point
00:26:13.060 of view to
00:26:13.520 the dominant
00:26:14.540 leftist narrative
00:26:15.320 I admire
00:26:16.200 them
00:26:16.520 they're sort
00:26:18.180 of doing what
00:26:18.540 we do in a
00:26:19.000 way too
00:26:19.380 they're filling
00:26:19.880 the gap left
00:26:20.820 by the mainstream
00:26:21.340 media but doing
00:26:22.040 it mainly on
00:26:22.720 Facebook
00:26:23.060 I'm excited
00:26:24.020 I'm going to
00:26:24.460 have to go
00:26:25.560 to BC Proud
00:26:26.380 and click
00:26:26.820 like and follow
00:26:27.680 you hopefully
00:26:28.280 hopefully Mark
00:26:29.500 Zuckerberg won't
00:26:30.480 stifle you yet
00:26:31.880 but if you do
00:26:33.580 if he does
00:26:34.560 that's a sign
00:26:35.420 you're being
00:26:35.740 effective
00:26:36.100 that's my view
00:26:36.800 Aaron great to
00:26:37.300 see you again
00:26:37.640 thanks
00:26:38.040 thanks a lot
00:26:39.060 Ezra
00:26:39.300 all right
00:26:39.720 there you have
00:26:40.220 it
00:26:40.400 Aaron Gunn
00:26:41.240 is a spokesperson
00:26:41.780 for BC Proud
00:26:43.520 and as he
00:26:44.160 reminds me
00:26:45.000 that's a
00:26:45.300 Facebook based
00:26:46.220 initiative
00:26:47.540 and we sure
00:26:48.780 need that
00:26:49.160 don't we
00:26:49.540 we need
00:26:49.880 someone to
00:26:50.320 push back
00:26:50.840 stay with us
00:26:51.820 more ahead
00:26:52.340 on the rebel
00:26:52.780 welcome back
00:27:04.720 well the
00:27:05.160 entire world
00:27:05.920 was gripped
00:27:06.640 by the
00:27:07.460 prospect
00:27:07.940 of democracy
00:27:09.080 finally coming
00:27:09.920 to Iran
00:27:10.460 in a
00:27:11.420 nationwide
00:27:12.200 series of
00:27:13.020 protests
00:27:13.460 that reached
00:27:13.880 their apex
00:27:14.540 just before
00:27:15.780 New Year's
00:27:16.580 Eve
00:27:16.920 but since
00:27:17.960 then it's
00:27:18.640 fallen out
00:27:19.380 of the news
00:27:20.040 and world
00:27:21.180 politics has
00:27:22.100 shifted to
00:27:22.720 other places
00:27:23.320 most recently
00:27:24.080 to Syria
00:27:25.400 where Iran
00:27:26.480 of course
00:27:26.880 has a large
00:27:27.560 expeditionary
00:27:28.400 force
00:27:28.780 but how are
00:27:29.740 things going
00:27:30.200 back in Iran 1.00
00:27:31.320 is the
00:27:32.260 grassroots public
00:27:33.240 still rising up
00:27:34.360 against the
00:27:34.920 Ayatollahs 0.98
00:27:35.600 what's the
00:27:36.300 nature of the
00:27:36.940 protest
00:27:37.280 is it
00:27:37.760 political
00:27:38.160 is it
00:27:38.800 economic
00:27:39.320 is it
00:27:39.720 religious
00:27:40.160 joining us
00:27:41.120 now for an
00:27:41.820 update on this
00:27:42.460 subject is
00:27:43.040 someone we
00:27:43.380 spoke to
00:27:43.740 earlier this
00:27:44.400 year who
00:27:45.140 follows it
00:27:45.700 very closely
00:27:46.460 her name is
00:27:47.000 Erika
00:27:47.340 Kasrayi
00:27:48.040 and she is
00:27:49.080 an Iranian
00:27:49.560 activist
00:27:50.480 welcome back
00:27:51.160 good to see
00:27:51.620 you again
00:27:51.900 thanks for
00:27:52.360 joining us
00:27:52.820 today
00:27:53.160 oh thank you
00:27:54.500 for having me
00:27:55.040 back on
00:27:55.600 well we care
00:27:56.660 about Iran
00:27:57.280 for a number
00:27:58.060 of reasons
00:27:58.740 a big one
00:28:00.580 of them is
00:28:01.080 it's not a
00:28:02.640 free country
00:28:03.340 and it's
00:28:04.260 tens of millions
00:28:05.180 of people
00:28:05.660 living under
00:28:06.180 the yoke
00:28:06.580 of a theocracy
00:28:07.840 and that leads
00:28:09.000 to so much
00:28:09.520 hardship
00:28:09.920 and I think
00:28:11.200 a lot of
00:28:11.620 people in the
00:28:12.040 West had
00:28:12.400 this flicker
00:28:12.940 of hope
00:28:13.280 that you
00:28:14.220 know this
00:28:14.600 was almost
00:28:14.920 like a
00:28:15.220 Tiananmen 1.00
00:28:15.580 square moment
00:28:16.300 for Iran
00:28:16.960 and the
00:28:17.640 Ayatollahs 0.98
00:28:18.180 would blink
00:28:18.620 but they
00:28:19.340 don't seem
00:28:19.700 to have
00:28:20.040 blinked
00:28:20.580 how about
00:28:21.300 the protesters
00:28:21.980 are they still
00:28:22.620 going at it
00:28:23.260 Erika
00:28:23.740 well the
00:28:25.640 protest movement
00:28:26.560 has sort of
00:28:27.200 taken on
00:28:27.800 different forms
00:28:28.680 and since
00:28:29.560 the initial
00:28:30.920 sort of
00:28:31.980 revolt
00:28:32.400 around Christmas
00:28:33.540 time
00:28:34.020 the political
00:28:35.180 uncertainty
00:28:35.840 has led
00:28:36.760 to an
00:28:37.900 economic
00:28:38.320 crisis
00:28:38.840 the price
00:28:39.600 of the
00:28:39.920 real has
00:28:40.500 fallen
00:28:40.960 dramatically
00:28:41.780 it's
00:28:43.320 almost
00:28:43.780 close to
00:28:44.280 7000
00:28:45.140 riyals
00:28:45.640 the dollar
00:28:46.880 so
00:28:48.180 you know
00:28:48.860 there's
00:28:49.300 there's
00:28:49.560 definitely
00:28:49.920 a lot
00:28:50.340 of
00:28:50.520 political
00:28:50.940 unrest
00:28:51.740 but
00:28:52.640 unfortunately
00:28:53.260 you know
00:28:53.760 the
00:28:54.020 media
00:28:54.780 has sort
00:28:55.220 of
00:28:55.300 taken
00:28:55.540 their
00:28:55.780 eyes
00:28:56.000 off
00:28:56.420 of
00:28:56.960 what's
00:28:57.360 happening
00:28:57.700 on the
00:28:58.020 ground
00:28:58.320 in Iran
00:28:58.700 and really
00:28:59.100 they don't
00:28:59.440 have access
00:29:00.000 to on
00:29:00.480 the ground
00:29:01.020 you know
00:29:03.180 news
00:29:04.400 like
00:29:05.520 the West
00:29:06.480 does
00:29:06.840 so we
00:29:07.300 don't have
00:29:07.620 free press
00:29:08.380 unfortunately
00:29:09.200 all of
00:29:09.920 the news
00:29:10.240 that's
00:29:10.420 coming out
00:29:10.860 is coming
00:29:11.220 through
00:29:11.440 social media
00:29:12.100 and Iran
00:29:12.760 watchers
00:29:13.180 are trying
00:29:13.600 their best
00:29:14.080 to give
00:29:15.500 some visibility
00:29:16.460 so thank
00:29:17.040 you for
00:29:17.340 bringing
00:29:17.640 back
00:29:18.480 the information
00:29:19.760 to your viewers
00:29:20.620 well it's a
00:29:21.320 pleasure to have
00:29:22.060 you because
00:29:22.660 we want to
00:29:23.120 tell our
00:29:23.400 people what's
00:29:23.800 going on
00:29:24.220 now you
00:29:24.760 sent over
00:29:25.260 to our
00:29:25.580 producers
00:29:26.000 a variety
00:29:27.440 of visuals
00:29:28.740 that were
00:29:29.580 smuggled out
00:29:30.960 is probably
00:29:31.380 the wrong
00:29:31.760 word because
00:29:32.300 it's not
00:29:32.700 like the
00:29:33.020 olden days
00:29:33.520 where you
00:29:33.800 had to
00:29:34.240 sneak out
00:29:35.280 a hard
00:29:36.320 copy of
00:29:36.840 a photo
00:29:37.160 this
00:29:37.460 as you
00:29:38.200 said
00:29:38.400 comes out
00:29:39.100 through
00:29:39.240 social
00:29:39.620 media
00:29:39.880 but you've
00:29:40.320 collected
00:29:40.780 various
00:29:41.980 items
00:29:42.540 from
00:29:43.280 recent
00:29:43.680 days
00:29:44.040 in
00:29:44.180 Iran
00:29:44.440 why don't
00:29:45.160 you
00:29:45.320 describe
00:29:46.040 them
00:29:46.340 and we
00:29:46.660 will
00:29:47.000 get through
00:29:48.840 as many
00:29:49.140 as we
00:29:49.400 can
00:29:49.620 in the
00:29:49.860 time
00:29:50.100 we
00:29:50.280 have
00:29:50.500 I want
00:29:51.100 to show
00:29:51.440 our
00:29:51.660 people
00:29:52.020 what
00:29:52.660 heroic
00:29:53.180 protesters
00:29:53.780 are doing
00:29:54.160 on the
00:29:54.440 streets
00:29:54.780 to give
00:29:55.800 some
00:29:56.260 encouragement
00:29:56.860 to people
00:29:57.400 in the
00:29:57.640 west
00:29:57.820 to continue
00:29:58.340 to put
00:29:58.680 diplomatic
00:29:59.140 pressure
00:29:59.820 on Iran
00:30:00.640 especially
00:30:01.000 here in
00:30:01.480 Canada
00:30:01.820 where our
00:30:02.300 leader
00:30:02.600 is too
00:30:03.480 chummy
00:30:03.780 with Iran
00:30:04.120 I don't
00:30:04.400 know if
00:30:04.640 you know
00:30:04.840 this
00:30:05.020 Eric
00:30:05.240 and I
00:30:05.480 don't
00:30:05.600 mean
00:30:05.760 to go
00:30:06.140 on a
00:30:06.320 tangent
00:30:06.600 but
00:30:07.240 Justin Trudeau's
00:30:08.180 brother
00:30:08.680 Alexandre
00:30:09.700 Trudeau
00:30:10.060 actually
00:30:10.400 did a
00:30:10.740 propaganda
00:30:11.120 movie
00:30:11.620 called
00:30:11.980 The New
00:30:13.080 Great
00:30:13.420 Game
00:30:13.820 he actually
00:30:14.680 did a
00:30:15.000 propaganda
00:30:15.360 movie
00:30:15.780 in
00:30:16.220 co-production
00:30:16.880 with Iran's 0.95
00:30:17.940 state media
00:30:18.980 so I'm
00:30:19.360 very worried
00:30:19.940 that here
00:30:20.320 in Canada
00:30:20.840 Justin Trudeau
00:30:21.980 has a
00:30:22.340 special
00:30:22.660 affection
00:30:23.200 for the
00:30:24.040 Iranian
00:30:24.280 dictatorship
00:30:24.860 because
00:30:25.620 his brother
00:30:26.360 actually
00:30:27.080 did
00:30:27.600 government
00:30:28.260 propaganda
00:30:28.840 so with
00:30:29.380 that
00:30:29.560 setting
00:30:29.860 the table
00:30:30.380 let's
00:30:31.100 go to
00:30:31.380 the news
00:30:31.740 from the
00:30:32.140 ground
00:30:32.340 why don't
00:30:32.600 you show
00:30:32.960 us
00:30:33.120 some
00:30:33.280 of the
00:30:33.480 viz
00:30:33.660 you have
00:30:34.000 today
00:30:34.340 so as
00:30:36.360 you can
00:30:36.600 see from
00:30:36.920 some of
00:30:37.180 the videos
00:30:37.640 the women 0.97
00:30:38.800 the women 0.97
00:30:39.360 are really
00:30:39.920 leading the
00:30:40.380 movement
00:30:40.680 in Iran
00:30:41.240 they're
00:30:41.580 continuing
00:30:42.080 to
00:30:42.700 defiantly
00:30:43.700 remove
00:30:44.240 their hijab
00:30:45.140 we have
00:30:45.500 a movement
00:30:45.900 called
00:30:46.260 White
00:30:46.580 Wednesdays
00:30:47.360 where women 0.97
00:30:47.760 are wearing
00:30:48.280 white
00:30:48.760 headscarves 0.99
00:30:49.780 and taking
00:30:50.420 them off
00:30:51.020 and
00:30:51.280 you know
00:30:52.680 flagging
00:30:53.600 them in
00:30:54.020 public
00:30:54.560 in defiance
00:30:55.700 of forced
00:30:56.260 hijab
00:30:57.260 we have
00:30:58.360 they're
00:30:59.520 called
00:30:59.820 which is
00:31:03.200 the women 0.97
00:31:03.580 of revolutionary
00:31:04.340 street
00:31:05.100 in the
00:31:07.620 last
00:31:08.120 10 days
00:31:09.140 we had
00:31:09.840 farmers
00:31:10.460 protesting
00:31:11.140 in the
00:31:11.560 town
00:31:11.840 of
00:31:12.000 Esfahan
00:31:12.600 because of
00:31:13.640 the mismanagement
00:31:14.500 of water
00:31:15.120 sources
00:31:15.680 and they
00:31:16.960 came out
00:31:17.620 to protest
00:31:18.400 the mismanagement
00:31:19.480 of the
00:31:19.760 government's
00:31:20.300 responsibilities
00:31:21.740 and they
00:31:22.740 were faced
00:31:23.260 with
00:31:23.760 brutality
00:31:24.520 from the
00:31:25.300 besages
00:31:25.920 and the
00:31:26.640 government
00:31:27.500 militia
00:31:28.080 there was
00:31:30.240 a day
00:31:30.640 where the
00:31:31.180 price of
00:31:31.820 the dollar
00:31:32.780 was
00:31:33.600 extremely
00:31:34.440 high
00:31:35.020 and the
00:31:35.520 government
00:31:35.780 came out
00:31:36.460 and they
00:31:36.800 basically
00:31:37.180 made an
00:31:37.620 announcement
00:31:38.000 that tomorrow
00:31:38.740 for 24
00:31:39.480 hours
00:31:40.040 we'll
00:31:40.840 honor
00:31:42.560 the price
00:31:43.940 of the
00:31:44.220 dollar
00:31:44.500 to about
00:31:45.160 4,000
00:31:46.000 I think
00:31:46.280 it was
00:31:46.440 4,500
00:31:47.160 and a half
00:31:47.500 riyals
00:31:48.600 and people
00:31:49.620 were standing
00:31:50.280 in line
00:31:50.740 for hours
00:31:51.460 for the
00:31:52.400 exchanges
00:31:54.100 to be able
00:31:54.720 to buy
00:31:55.060 the dollar
00:31:55.540 and all
00:31:56.280 the doors
00:31:56.660 were closed
00:31:57.300 I don't
00:31:57.900 know which
00:31:58.180 videos
00:31:58.500 you're
00:31:58.720 showing
00:31:59.080 we're
00:31:59.520 keeping up
00:32:00.320 with you
00:32:00.540 and showing
00:32:00.920 the images
00:32:01.400 of people
00:32:02.620 waiting outside
00:32:03.240 a bank
00:32:03.740 it looks like
00:32:04.160 they're locked
00:32:04.580 out
00:32:05.020 they're actually
00:32:07.660 exchange
00:32:08.180 they're money
00:32:08.600 exchangers
00:32:09.320 I guess
00:32:12.100 they don't
00:32:12.380 understand
00:32:12.800 that the
00:32:13.120 government
00:32:13.380 doesn't set
00:32:13.940 the price
00:32:14.380 of the
00:32:14.740 money
00:32:15.540 this isn't
00:32:17.120 something
00:32:17.520 the government
00:32:19.800 can decide
00:32:20.500 it's just
00:32:20.900 international
00:32:22.400 money
00:32:24.120 is not
00:32:24.660 controlled
00:32:25.020 by a
00:32:25.380 government
00:32:25.660 so
00:32:26.020 people
00:32:27.440 are angry
00:32:27.940 the government
00:32:29.000 of Iran
00:32:29.480 has squandered
00:32:30.480 the people's
00:32:31.660 money
00:32:32.420 and now
00:32:33.540 the people
00:32:36.040 are angry
00:32:36.540 this unrest
00:32:38.160 is
00:32:38.940 taking on
00:32:42.000 different shapes
00:32:42.680 and forms
00:32:43.720 and it's
00:32:44.680 definitely not
00:32:45.280 over
00:32:45.640 I think
00:32:46.100 all eyes
00:32:46.720 right now
00:32:47.220 are on
00:32:47.580 President
00:32:47.900 Trump
00:32:48.340 and the
00:32:50.120 changes
00:32:50.460 that are
00:32:50.780 going on
00:32:51.220 in our
00:32:51.520 own
00:32:51.780 government
00:32:52.100 here in
00:32:52.420 the United
00:32:52.680 States
00:32:53.160 with the
00:32:54.060 hopeful
00:32:54.540 confirmation
00:32:55.120 of Mike
00:32:55.820 Pompeo
00:32:56.440 and the
00:32:57.300 newly
00:32:57.660 appointed
00:32:58.980 NSC
00:33:00.640 director
00:33:01.100 Mr. Bolton
00:33:01.860 I think
00:33:02.780 we're going
00:33:03.020 to have
00:33:03.200 a different
00:33:03.640 approach
00:33:04.580 now towards
00:33:05.120 Iran policy
00:33:05.880 come May
00:33:06.380 12th
00:33:07.040 for the
00:33:07.500 deadline
00:33:07.860 of the
00:33:08.200 recertification
00:33:08.840 of the
00:33:09.140 JCPOA
00:33:09.940 I think
00:33:10.640 you're right
00:33:11.000 that's a
00:33:11.280 very interesting
00:33:11.900 observation
00:33:12.460 those two
00:33:13.140 new
00:33:14.700 senior staff
00:33:16.080 have a
00:33:16.780 more hardline
00:33:17.700 view towards
00:33:18.200 Iran
00:33:18.420 I'd like
00:33:19.500 to refer
00:33:19.940 to a
00:33:20.200 couple
00:33:20.400 more
00:33:20.740 of your
00:33:21.760 videos
00:33:22.660 because
00:33:22.940 they're
00:33:23.140 so
00:33:23.360 interesting
00:33:23.900 and I
00:33:24.700 know
00:33:24.920 that they
00:33:25.260 have not
00:33:25.600 been seen
00:33:26.120 in mainstream
00:33:26.840 media
00:33:27.280 in Canada
00:33:27.920 I like
00:33:29.380 the
00:33:29.540 grassroots
00:33:29.920 and by
00:33:30.640 the way
00:33:30.920 Iran
00:33:31.240 looks
00:33:31.500 beautiful
00:33:32.000 I mean
00:33:32.260 it's a
00:33:33.680 vast
00:33:33.980 country
00:33:34.280 it's
00:33:34.400 very large
00:33:34.900 we saw
00:33:36.120 the lush
00:33:36.580 green
00:33:36.980 park
00:33:37.400 there
00:33:37.640 of the
00:33:38.220 protest
00:33:38.560 it looks
00:33:39.340 very
00:33:39.540 pretty
00:33:39.920 but
00:33:40.980 you can
00:33:42.040 have a
00:33:42.300 pretty
00:33:42.540 prison
00:33:43.100 I suppose
00:33:44.120 I mean
00:33:45.280 that's what
00:33:45.820 Cuba is
00:33:46.460 let's
00:33:47.060 take a
00:33:47.600 look
00:33:47.760 you mentioned
00:33:48.460 that some
00:33:48.900 of the
00:33:49.100 protesters
00:33:49.560 specifically
00:33:50.460 refer to
00:33:51.000 the
00:33:51.140 supreme
00:33:51.480 leader
00:33:51.880 Ayatollah
00:33:53.080 Khamenei
00:33:53.800 tell us
00:33:54.560 a little
00:33:54.760 bit about
00:33:55.100 that
00:33:55.340 please
00:33:55.760 so
00:33:56.940 I know
00:33:57.580 in the
00:33:57.820 last
00:33:58.220 time
00:33:58.820 we
00:33:59.500 spoke
00:33:59.960 we
00:34:00.560 talked
00:34:00.820 about
00:34:01.000 the
00:34:01.140 different
00:34:01.420 movements
00:34:02.240 that were
00:34:02.560 going
00:34:02.840 on
00:34:03.240 one
00:34:03.820 of
00:34:03.960 those
00:34:04.180 movements
00:34:04.640 is
00:34:05.400 to
00:34:05.720 insult
00:34:06.260 the
00:34:06.440 supreme
00:34:06.900 leader
00:34:07.260 Khamenei
00:34:08.500 and so
00:34:09.560 there's
00:34:10.260 a movement
00:34:10.860 of graffiti
00:34:11.400 artists
00:34:12.060 where they're
00:34:13.000 vandalizing
00:34:14.060 government
00:34:14.480 buildings
00:34:15.040 and bridges
00:34:15.640 and
00:34:16.040 writing
00:34:16.440 death
00:34:16.840 to
00:34:17.040 Khamenei
00:34:17.800 I know
00:34:20.000 that we
00:34:20.280 showed a
00:34:20.860 video of a
00:34:21.320 young lady
00:34:21.740 holding up
00:34:22.260 her white
00:34:22.660 scarf
00:34:23.060 in her
00:34:23.600 hand
00:34:23.960 she has
00:34:24.440 written
00:34:24.900 death
00:34:25.980 to
00:34:26.160 Khamenei
00:34:26.760 no
00:34:27.100 to
00:34:27.300 forced
00:34:27.640 hijab
00:34:28.280 right
00:34:28.800 yes
00:34:30.020 so
00:34:30.460 Khamenei
00:34:31.900 is not
00:34:32.880 a figure
00:34:33.840 that is
00:34:34.800 respected
00:34:35.320 or liked
00:34:36.060 right now
00:34:36.480 in Iran
00:34:36.940 and I
00:34:37.280 think
00:34:37.580 his
00:34:38.520 allegiance
00:34:38.900 with
00:34:39.340 Assad
00:34:40.500 and Russia
00:34:41.380 is not
00:34:43.440 bearing well
00:34:44.120 for him
00:34:44.520 on the
00:34:44.880 international
00:34:45.300 stage
00:34:45.940 let me
00:34:46.640 ask you
00:34:46.860 one more
00:34:47.140 question
00:34:47.480 about that
00:34:47.880 we spoke
00:34:48.240 to a
00:34:48.660 friend
00:34:48.880 at the
00:34:49.200 foundation
00:34:49.580 for
00:34:49.780 defense
00:34:50.060 of
00:34:50.160 democracies
00:34:50.740 who
00:34:51.580 encouraged
00:34:52.320 us to
00:34:52.700 look at
00:34:53.100 Trump
00:34:53.460 and Syria
00:34:54.180 partly as a
00:34:56.460 reaction to
00:34:57.260 the use
00:34:58.440 of chemical
00:34:58.940 weapons
00:34:59.280 but also
00:34:59.920 as a
00:35:01.020 reaction to
00:35:01.680 Iran
00:35:02.120 to try
00:35:02.560 and make
00:35:04.200 Iran
00:35:04.740 suffer
00:35:05.380 a proxy
00:35:06.460 defeat
00:35:07.080 and I
00:35:07.660 thought that
00:35:07.900 was an
00:35:08.140 interesting
00:35:08.480 way of
00:35:08.840 looking at
00:35:09.340 it
00:35:09.500 is it
00:35:11.400 true
00:35:11.860 that
00:35:12.760 Iran's 0.89
00:35:14.600 regional
00:35:15.720 ambitions
00:35:16.340 and the
00:35:16.900 money
00:35:17.460 and
00:35:18.580 people
00:35:19.440 cost
00:35:20.160 of that
00:35:20.740 having
00:35:21.180 young men
00:35:22.280 be soldiers
00:35:22.960 in Syria
00:35:23.940 is that
00:35:24.820 part of
00:35:26.220 the discussion
00:35:27.020 there
00:35:27.400 amongst
00:35:27.900 people who
00:35:30.240 are dissatisfied
00:35:31.080 that this
00:35:32.140 is some
00:35:32.640 expansionist
00:35:34.380 would-be
00:35:35.060 empire
00:35:35.620 that does
00:35:36.120 not serve
00:35:36.920 the day-to-day
00:35:38.540 needs of
00:35:39.060 the Iranian
00:35:39.440 people
00:35:39.840 is that
00:35:40.140 an issue
00:35:40.820 absolutely
00:35:42.900 I mean
00:35:43.600 the inception
00:35:44.420 of the
00:35:44.880 Islamic
00:35:45.180 Republic
00:35:45.680 was exactly
00:35:46.620 for this
00:35:47.180 idea of
00:35:48.240 the glory
00:35:49.340 of Islam
00:35:50.100 and if
00:35:50.980 you know
00:35:51.680 anything
00:35:52.140 about
00:35:52.680 Shia 0.97
00:35:53.360 Islam
00:35:53.860 they believe
00:35:55.360 that
00:35:56.040 the 12th
00:35:57.640 Imam
00:35:57.860 will only
00:35:58.440 return
00:35:59.100 when
00:36:00.340 the blood
00:36:01.520 of the Jew 0.77
00:36:02.180 and the
00:36:02.740 Christian
00:36:03.100 is to
00:36:04.060 the knee
00:36:05.160 of the
00:36:05.920 horse
00:36:06.620 of Mahdi
00:36:07.360 and
00:36:09.060 Islam
00:36:09.780 has been
00:36:10.540 injected
00:36:11.340 into all
00:36:12.080 of the
00:36:12.360 world
00:36:12.680 so
00:36:13.080 they really
00:36:14.160 believe
00:36:14.620 this
00:36:15.140 and they
00:36:15.960 will stop
00:36:16.480 at nothing
00:36:17.040 so to
00:36:17.720 not take
00:36:19.960 this very
00:36:20.480 seriously
00:36:20.940 Iran is
00:36:21.660 a regional
00:36:22.080 power
00:36:22.520 and the
00:36:22.820 reason
00:36:23.020 I believe
00:36:23.840 that
00:36:24.120 the Trump
00:36:25.640 administration
00:36:26.140 still hasn't
00:36:26.860 taken any
00:36:27.360 action
00:36:27.680 is because
00:36:28.120 you're not
00:36:28.860 just dealing
00:36:29.360 with Iran
00:36:29.820 right now
00:36:30.200 you're dealing
00:36:30.600 with Russia
00:36:31.180 and
00:36:32.140 you're
00:36:33.320 getting involved
00:36:34.120 in a much
00:36:34.600 more complex
00:36:35.080 conflict
00:36:38.140 than we
00:36:39.180 expected
00:36:39.640 and so
00:36:40.080 I think
00:36:40.380 I blame
00:36:41.240 President Obama
00:36:42.160 for this
00:36:42.560 problem
00:36:43.020 he was so
00:36:44.580 desperate
00:36:45.000 to make
00:36:45.380 a deal
00:36:45.860 at the
00:36:46.560 cost
00:36:46.980 of
00:36:48.060 hundreds
00:36:49.660 of thousands
00:36:50.600 of lives
00:36:51.240 in Syria
00:36:51.840 wow
00:36:52.540 well I tell
00:36:54.000 you Erica
00:36:54.420 I won't say
00:36:55.740 it's a pleasure
00:36:56.260 catching up
00:36:56.900 with you
00:36:57.180 because the
00:36:57.740 news is so
00:36:58.380 grave
00:36:58.900 and it's
00:36:59.740 so distressing
00:37:00.520 but it's a
00:37:01.160 pleasure to
00:37:01.620 spend time
00:37:02.140 with you
00:37:02.480 and have
00:37:02.840 you
00:37:03.040 so eloquently
00:37:04.480 describe
00:37:05.040 things
00:37:05.340 and thank
00:37:05.780 you for
00:37:06.200 curating
00:37:07.120 the videos
00:37:07.740 and photos
00:37:08.380 that you
00:37:08.720 have done
00:37:09.340 of course
00:37:10.680 we'll continue
00:37:11.440 to invite you
00:37:12.140 back to give
00:37:12.760 us updates
00:37:13.280 on this
00:37:13.660 because there
00:37:14.480 was a brief
00:37:14.960 moment I
00:37:15.440 remember right
00:37:16.100 on New
00:37:16.460 Year's Eve
00:37:16.820 actually
00:37:17.300 when it
00:37:18.080 felt like
00:37:18.740 change could
00:37:19.440 come
00:37:19.820 and I
00:37:20.820 hope that
00:37:21.720 the tide
00:37:22.120 has not
00:37:22.520 gone out
00:37:22.920 of that
00:37:23.220 I hope
00:37:23.680 that Iran 0.91
00:37:24.460 will be free
00:37:25.220 it has
00:37:26.240 not
00:37:26.540 and let
00:37:26.840 me close
00:37:27.260 on a
00:37:27.540 positive
00:37:28.000 note
00:37:28.340 on a
00:37:29.160 more hopeful
00:37:29.960 note
00:37:30.380 there is a
00:37:31.860 movement inside
00:37:32.560 Iran now 0.96
00:37:33.360 that is
00:37:34.460 led by the
00:37:35.560 pen
00:37:35.960 and that
00:37:36.640 is called
00:37:37.040 the
00:37:37.420 constitutional
00:37:38.300 movement
00:37:38.980 there is
00:37:40.240 some lawyers
00:37:41.860 some law
00:37:42.720 students
00:37:43.180 who are
00:37:43.820 writing a
00:37:45.020 new constitution
00:37:46.060 that is based
00:37:46.840 on the
00:37:47.380 US constitution
00:37:48.340 for a future
00:37:49.500 of a free
00:37:51.000 and democratic
00:37:52.320 Iran
00:37:52.780 so there is
00:37:54.620 hope
00:37:54.980 the young
00:37:55.420 people of
00:37:55.900 Iran
00:37:56.120 are going
00:37:56.720 to reclaim
00:37:57.400 their country
00:37:58.620 I believe
00:37:59.780 that with all
00:38:00.280 my heart
00:38:00.740 we just need
00:38:01.380 the support
00:38:01.840 of the free
00:38:02.700 world
00:38:03.180 the Iranian
00:38:04.200 people need
00:38:04.740 support
00:38:05.220 well you have
00:38:06.420 our moral
00:38:06.820 support
00:38:07.240 and hopefully
00:38:07.680 you will have
00:38:08.200 more than
00:38:08.600 that from
00:38:09.140 more powerful
00:38:10.040 people
00:38:10.500 including in
00:38:11.380 the US
00:38:11.720 administration
00:38:12.300 that you
00:38:12.580 described
00:38:12.960 we have been
00:38:13.740 talking with
00:38:14.180 Erika Kassray
00:38:15.000 thanks so much
00:38:15.680 for taking
00:38:16.080 the time
00:38:16.440 with us
00:38:16.740 and bringing
00:38:17.100 so much
00:38:17.520 information
00:38:18.040 and wisdom
00:38:19.000 you are
00:38:20.120 welcome sir
00:38:20.600 have a
00:38:20.860 wonderful
00:38:21.180 weekend
00:38:21.620 thank you
00:38:22.140 you too
00:38:22.600 bye bye
00:38:24.420 well that's
00:38:25.480 very interesting
00:38:26.160 I want to
00:38:27.920 hold out
00:38:28.300 hope
00:38:28.540 because I
00:38:28.980 know this
00:38:29.360 is a
00:38:29.640 complex
00:38:29.960 problem
00:38:30.380 that the
00:38:31.120 world
00:38:31.300 didn't fall
00:38:31.840 into
00:38:32.240 in a sudden
00:38:33.040 so it
00:38:33.500 may take
00:38:33.860 some time
00:38:34.280 to get
00:38:34.540 out
00:38:34.700 hopefully
00:38:35.080 Trump's
00:38:36.260 machinations
00:38:37.040 in Syria
00:38:37.700 are part
00:38:38.700 of the
00:38:39.000 raveling up
00:38:39.780 of the
00:38:40.300 Iranian
00:38:40.640 military
00:38:41.400 empire
00:38:41.760 and will
00:38:42.740 eventually
00:38:43.040 lead to
00:38:43.420 the liberation
00:38:43.840 of that
00:38:44.120 country
00:38:44.400 itself
00:38:44.860 stay with
00:38:45.940 us
00:38:46.300 more ahead
00:38:47.260 on the
00:38:47.480 rebel
00:38:52.600 hey
00:38:59.080 welcome
00:38:59.320 back
00:38:59.620 on my
00:38:59.860 monologue
00:39:00.160 yesterday
00:39:00.540 about a
00:39:00.960 left-wing
00:39:01.320 activist
00:39:01.840 journalist
00:39:02.320 who condemned
00:39:03.500 the fundraising
00:39:04.120 for the
00:39:04.540 families of
00:39:05.000 the humble
00:39:05.300 broncos
00:39:06.000 as sexist
00:39:07.420 and racist
00:39:07.920 Liza writes
00:39:08.860 it's too
00:39:10.020 bad the
00:39:10.300 family must
00:39:10.840 suffer
00:39:11.160 the circus
00:39:12.100 when they
00:39:12.860 are trying
00:39:13.100 to deal
00:39:13.400 with a
00:39:13.700 very fresh
00:39:14.080 tragedy
00:39:14.520 everyone
00:39:15.240 should leave
00:39:15.700 them in
00:39:16.240 peace to
00:39:16.620 grieve
00:39:16.940 the disgusting
00:39:17.960 ghouls who
00:39:18.520 are crying
00:39:19.020 their fragile
00:39:19.900 ghoul tears
00:39:20.500 need to
00:39:20.860 get some
00:39:21.460 damn
00:39:21.680 humanity
00:39:22.280 yeah you
00:39:24.920 know what
00:39:25.160 I'm just
00:39:26.260 going to
00:39:26.540 guess that
00:39:26.980 most of
00:39:27.500 the family
00:39:28.080 of the
00:39:28.840 humble
00:39:29.320 broncos
00:39:29.980 did not
00:39:30.780 see her
00:39:31.860 super gross
00:39:32.600 tweet
00:39:32.840 although
00:39:33.200 some of
00:39:35.240 them probably
00:39:35.560 did
00:39:35.880 because
00:39:36.840 Nora Loretta
00:39:37.840 was so
00:39:38.280 proud of
00:39:39.120 the fact
00:39:39.520 that her
00:39:39.920 tweets
00:39:40.220 had 8
00:39:41.260 million
00:39:42.200 views
00:39:43.340 last week
00:39:44.660 when she
00:39:44.920 normally
00:39:45.460 probably gets
00:39:46.280 8,000
00:39:47.040 so she
00:39:47.820 was sort
00:39:48.140 of boasting
00:39:48.660 that if
00:39:49.040 8 million
00:39:49.520 people saw
00:39:50.240 it odds
00:39:50.940 are some
00:39:51.360 of the
00:39:51.540 families
00:39:51.980 did but
00:39:52.340 I think
00:39:52.580 most of
00:39:52.900 them are
00:39:53.120 focused on
00:39:53.960 real things
00:39:54.460 important
00:39:54.820 things
00:39:55.180 family
00:39:55.820 healing
00:39:56.320 the injured
00:39:57.080 grieving
00:39:58.020 what I
00:40:00.260 found useful
00:40:00.900 about the
00:40:01.740 story was
00:40:02.400 what it
00:40:03.420 reflected back
00:40:04.680 from the
00:40:05.420 mainstream
00:40:05.740 media
00:40:06.200 Globe and
00:40:07.260 Mail
00:40:07.400 the
00:40:07.600 Walrus
00:40:08.040 Maclean's
00:40:08.620 the
00:40:08.760 CBC
00:40:09.080 the
00:40:09.300 people
00:40:09.580 who
00:40:10.220 were
00:40:11.440 delighted
00:40:11.760 to publish
00:40:12.260 Nora Loretta
00:40:13.000 when she
00:40:13.620 said similar
00:40:14.220 things in
00:40:14.760 their magazines
00:40:15.400 because they
00:40:16.760 actually don't
00:40:17.660 deeply disagree
00:40:18.300 with her
00:40:18.740 Debra writes 0.94
00:40:20.740 Nora like 0.97
00:40:22.580 all true
00:40:22.920 narcissists love
00:40:23.640 to get a
00:40:23.980 reaction whether
00:40:24.560 positive or
00:40:25.160 negative they
00:40:25.660 feed on it for
00:40:26.420 narcissistic supply
00:40:27.540 because they have
00:40:28.180 no emotional
00:40:28.700 depth so they
00:40:29.560 use others to
00:40:30.080 project their
00:40:30.560 ugliness on
00:40:31.600 I have to say
00:40:34.320 there's something
00:40:34.680 to that
00:40:35.120 I mean
00:40:35.780 listen
00:40:36.960 I've made
00:40:37.760 90,000
00:40:39.240 tweets in
00:40:40.200 the 10
00:40:40.760 years I've
00:40:41.280 been on
00:40:41.600 Twitter
00:40:41.920 that's a
00:40:42.440 lot
00:40:42.820 some of them
00:40:45.080 have been
00:40:45.240 dumb
00:40:45.580 listen you
00:40:46.020 can't say
00:40:46.420 90,000
00:40:47.060 things without
00:40:48.200 having a few
00:40:48.840 clunkers
00:40:49.360 and every
00:40:51.060 once in a
00:40:51.540 while maybe
00:40:52.160 like in
00:40:53.020 life you
00:40:53.560 say ah
00:40:54.100 that was
00:40:55.320 wrong I
00:40:55.800 got that
00:40:56.140 wrong
00:40:56.460 maybe you
00:40:57.440 don't make
00:40:57.980 a big noisy
00:40:58.480 apology you
00:40:59.120 just delete it
00:40:59.760 and shut up 0.99
00:41:00.620 not her
00:41:02.020 this is the
00:41:03.360 most exciting
00:41:04.280 week of her
00:41:04.940 life the
00:41:05.660 most relevant
00:41:06.480 week of her
00:41:07.120 life I
00:41:07.920 think that I
00:41:08.740 think there's
00:41:09.320 something a
00:41:09.700 little broken
00:41:10.220 upstairs although
00:41:11.080 you never know
00:41:12.280 if she's a 0.99
00:41:13.880 little bit
00:41:14.300 off or if
00:41:15.840 that's just
00:41:16.580 how all social
00:41:18.180 justice warriors
00:41:18.920 are these days
00:41:19.520 it's hard to
00:41:20.000 say on
00:41:21.420 Facebook
00:41:21.720 Google on
00:41:22.760 shutting down
00:41:25.080 conservative
00:41:27.160 voices online
00:41:27.960 Ted writes
00:41:28.640 you're not
00:41:30.120 the only one
00:41:30.540 who worries
00:41:30.900 about the
00:41:31.180 rebel.media
00:41:31.800 being summarily
00:41:32.640 shut down
00:41:33.180 from the
00:41:33.460 internet
00:41:33.700 you bet
00:41:34.480 your
00:41:34.640 conservative
00:41:35.080 audience is
00:41:36.020 also
00:41:36.420 I don't
00:41:36.940 know of
00:41:37.140 any other
00:41:37.500 media or
00:41:37.940 voice or
00:41:38.320 venue that
00:41:38.700 is doing
00:41:38.980 the job
00:41:39.320 of
00:41:39.460 conservative
00:41:39.860 journalism
00:41:40.280 that the
00:41:40.880 rebel is
00:41:41.240 doing
00:41:41.580 Ted thanks
00:41:43.480 very much
00:41:43.840 for saying
00:41:44.260 that
00:41:44.640 we do our
00:41:45.680 best
00:41:46.060 there are
00:41:46.780 some
00:41:47.080 conservative
00:41:47.560 journalists
00:41:47.920 in this
00:41:48.240 country who
00:41:48.700 don't work
00:41:49.060 for us
00:41:49.420 we love to
00:41:50.660 talk to some
00:41:51.140 of them
00:41:51.340 we love it
00:41:51.900 when Candace
00:41:52.500 Malcolm
00:41:52.840 and Anthony
00:41:53.900 Fury join
00:41:54.680 us
00:41:54.860 they work for
00:41:55.400 the Toronto
00:41:55.780 Sun for
00:41:56.540 now
00:41:56.780 I don't
00:41:57.800 know if
00:41:57.960 you remember
00:41:58.240 our old
00:41:58.680 friend Andrew
00:42:00.460 Lawton
00:42:00.820 who worked
00:42:02.060 with us
00:42:02.440 and then he
00:42:02.720 went full
00:42:03.080 time on the
00:42:03.700 radio in
00:42:04.160 London Ontario
00:42:04.760 until they
00:42:05.420 fired him
00:42:06.100 so I'm
00:42:07.340 worried that
00:42:07.760 there's this
00:42:08.080 larger purge
00:42:08.960 of conservative
00:42:09.500 voices
00:42:09.860 if you read
00:42:10.660 the National
00:42:11.040 Post these
00:42:11.660 days it's
00:42:12.640 barely recognizable
00:42:13.560 from what it
00:42:14.780 started out as
00:42:15.800 20 years ago
00:42:16.960 I was there
00:42:17.480 in the early
00:42:18.260 days 1999
00:42:19.820 2000
00:42:20.580 it was a
00:42:21.660 very conservative
00:42:22.200 magazine
00:42:22.660 newspaper
00:42:23.200 then
00:42:23.420 now it's
00:42:23.800 not
00:42:23.960 so yeah
00:42:24.640 there are
00:42:25.640 other voices
00:42:26.180 but God
00:42:26.780 forbid they
00:42:27.380 silence the
00:42:27.960 rebel
00:42:28.200 who's going
00:42:29.680 to lead
00:42:30.520 the charge
00:42:30.900 not just
00:42:31.280 on the
00:42:31.580 safe
00:42:31.840 conservative
00:42:32.360 things
00:42:32.880 but on the
00:42:33.800 ones that
00:42:34.160 people get
00:42:34.540 all politically
00:42:35.120 correct about
00:42:36.140 I don't think
00:42:38.540 there's a lot
00:42:38.920 of courage
00:42:39.240 and as I
00:42:41.340 say to
00:42:42.060 Jason Kenney
00:42:42.840 and Andrew
00:42:43.240 Shear
00:42:43.580 who are a
00:42:44.300 little bit
00:42:44.540 shy about
00:42:45.220 the rebel
00:42:45.680 if we
00:42:47.080 weren't
00:42:47.480 being true
00:42:48.120 conservatives
00:42:48.740 they would
00:42:49.760 be the most
00:42:50.240 conservative
00:42:50.720 thing in
00:42:51.100 the country
00:42:51.620 and that's
00:42:52.580 a very
00:42:52.840 difficult
00:42:53.160 thing for
00:42:53.700 a politician
00:42:54.240 to do
00:42:54.800 and to
00:42:55.100 be
00:42:55.440 whereas if
00:42:56.700 we are
00:42:57.300 fighting the
00:42:58.040 good fight
00:42:58.580 they can
00:42:59.100 be
00:42:59.540 they can
00:43:00.500 appear more
00:43:01.180 moderate
00:43:02.120 more centrist
00:43:02.840 as opposed to
00:43:03.420 if we were
00:43:03.780 gone
00:43:04.100 imagine if
00:43:04.920 the most
00:43:05.200 conservative
00:43:05.560 thing in
00:43:05.900 all of
00:43:06.180 Canada
00:43:06.460 was Andrew
00:43:07.200 Shear
00:43:07.660 we'd be
00:43:08.380 doomed
00:43:09.100 I just
00:43:10.140 regret that
00:43:10.720 he's
00:43:11.240 sucking up
00:43:12.400 to the
00:43:12.700 middle
00:43:12.900 and to
00:43:13.200 the left
00:43:13.500 so hard
00:43:14.100 it's
00:43:14.520 awful to
00:43:15.200 see him
00:43:15.400 on the
00:43:15.620 CBC
00:43:15.920 let's
00:43:17.180 end with
00:43:17.540 a positive
00:43:18.040 note
00:43:18.340 I'm excited
00:43:18.900 about our
00:43:19.340 rallies in
00:43:19.820 Alberta

00:43:30.140 repealthecarbontax.com
00:43:32.120 we call it that
00:43:32.740 because look
00:43:33.200 the carbon tax
00:43:34.080 was sold
00:43:34.560 as social
00:43:35.660 license
00:43:36.060 hey Alberta
00:43:36.660 punch yourself
00:43:37.740 in the nose
00:43:38.340 tax yourself
00:43:39.820 hate oil
00:43:40.320 and gas
00:43:40.740 and in return
00:43:41.420 BC will let 0.92
00:43:42.640 you put a
00:43:42.980 pipeline through
00:43:43.580 no that was
00:43:44.140 never going to
00:43:45.020 happen
00:43:45.280 so since it
00:43:46.380 hasn't happened
00:43:46.920 I think it's
00:43:47.620 time to repeal
00:43:48.160 the carbon tax
00:43:48.740 anyways
00:43:49.020 that's it for
00:43:50.400 today
00:43:50.740 I hope to
00:43:51.440 see you in
00:43:52.020 Alberta on
