Rebel News Podcast - The Ezra Levant Show - April 13⧸2018

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

00:43:32.120 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
