In this episode, we're talking all about the water crisis, and why it's a global problem, and how we can fix it. In particular, how do we deal with the growing demand for water around the world, especially in places like Las Vegas and the United States, which are experiencing the worst drought in the history of record-breaking drought.

00:00:00.000 And the next frontier will be the water itself.
00:00:02.680 We've talked about the water wars for some time,
00:00:04.520 but that is actually kicking into high gear right now,
00:00:06.640 especially with, well, you have super, you know, crazy drought in some areas,
00:00:10.360 and then you have flooding in others.
00:00:12.080 I think Pakistan just had a massive flooding,
00:00:15.900 a thousand people dead or something like that, crazy.
00:00:18.960 But in Las Vegas, they're actually going to restrict water now
00:00:22.320 in the fountains, rivers, and lakes.
00:00:25.280 Take a look at this report here.
00:00:26.340 Efforts to conserve water could change the face of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip.
00:00:32.340 Under one proposal, new hotels would not be allowed to include water features in their designs,
00:00:38.280 like the popular fountains at the Bellagio Hotel.
00:00:42.160 The proposal will be voted on by the Water District Board in the coming weeks.
00:00:45.940 Other proposals include limiting how much water golf courses can use
00:00:49.800 and fining homeowners for using too much water there in Vegas.
00:00:53.400 There's more in terms of the water being on the front lines of the new kind of control mechanism.
00:00:58.340 Actually, here's an interesting discussion at the World Economic Forum
00:01:00.720 over how climate change is kind of nebulous and kind of hard to understand. 0.53
00:01:05.380 However, if we pin the whole damn thing around water and access to water, 0.64
00:01:09.700 people will be able to understand how severe it is. 0.96
00:01:12.960 Listen to this discussion here.
00:01:14.080 But it's also equity that goes hand-in-hand with self-interest everywhere in the world.
00:01:18.920 Because if we don't solve those equity problems, we're all going to be affected.
00:01:23.200 And that's what it means when we say it is now a global commons issue.
00:01:27.880 Equity and self-interest come together when we want to solve the water problem,
00:01:32.480 just like when we want to solve the problem of the climate crisis.
00:01:35.980 They go hand-in-hand.
00:01:37.980 And that shift in thinking is also necessary.
00:01:40.600 Equity is everyone's interest, everyone's self-interest everywhere in the world.
00:01:48.140 Can I add something just based on what you've just said?
00:01:50.360 That's also, of course, true with COVID, right?
00:02:02.800 We are all only as healthy as our neighbor is on our street, in our city,
00:02:06.780 in our region, in our nation, and globally.
00:02:09.860 Did we solve that?
00:02:11.240 Did we actually manage to vaccinate everyone in the world?
00:02:13.860 No.
00:02:14.640 So highlighting water as a global commons
00:02:17.620 and what it means to work together and see it both out of that kind of global commons perspective
00:02:22.320 but also the self-interest perspective because it does have that parallel.
00:02:26.080 It's not only important, but it's also important because we haven't managed to solve those problems
00:02:30.820 which had similar attributes.
00:02:32.940 And water is something that people understand.
00:02:35.220 You know, climate change is a bit abstract.
00:02:36.820 Some people understand it really well.
00:02:38.440 Some understand it a bit.
00:02:39.540 Some just don't understand it.
00:02:40.900 Water.
00:02:41.680 Every kid knows how important it is to have water.
00:02:44.200 When you're playing football and you're thirsty, you need water.
00:02:46.380 So there's also something about really getting citizen engagement around this
00:02:50.360 and really, in some ways, experimenting with this notion of the common good.
00:02:54.500 Can we actually deliver this time in ways that we have failed miserably other times?
00:02:59.480 And hopefully we won't keep failing on the other things, but anyway.
00:03:03.160 Do you hear the discussion?
00:03:04.440 It's basically like, okay, we have identified a problem here.
00:03:08.060 Obviously, the solution to it is more globalism.
00:03:11.080 Let's call it commons.
00:03:12.820 Yeah, we have an equity issue over commons.
00:03:14.900 But this is a common interest issue.
00:03:17.080 So have you seen, do you notice how they keep trying, right?
00:03:20.640 First, it's global warming.
00:03:21.880 Does it work now?
00:03:22.560 Here's COVID.
00:03:23.320 Does it, no, that doesn't work.
00:03:24.220 Let's do it over the water.
00:03:25.280 They're trying to find one thing which will make you and everyone else out there
00:03:30.480 accept their global home ideas.
00:03:32.620 That's what this is about.
00:03:33.520 It's not about actually the issue that they're pushing at the time.
00:03:36.140 It's about using the issue to get you to submit and accept the solutions to the purported problem.
00:03:43.200 That's what these people are about.
00:03:44.560 So now, just a heads up on that, you're going to see a water issue next,
00:03:48.280 and it's going to be all discussions about water.
00:03:50.100 How do we fix the water issue?
00:03:51.580 Just wait.
00:03:52.600 You'll see.
00:03:53.040 We'll be covering that here probably within a month, maybe even sooner.
00:03:56.120 The feds have sent out health officers to test water.
00:04:02.360 And how they're doing this is they are sneaking around Saskatchewan.
00:04:06.520 Sneaking around Saskatchewan.
00:04:08.680 Trespassing on farmer's land to test the water.
00:04:12.520 Now, while all this is going on, the government is also trying to demonize the beef industry.
00:04:19.420 The Saskatchewan government has said if they proceed to do this,
00:04:22.440 that there will be consequences and they will start arresting them.
00:04:26.120 It's already too late, and, you know, I don't believe them to begin with. 0.96
00:04:31.160 Two days, two fucking days, after the first report of these feds trespassing on land and testing water, 0.97
00:04:40.740 there's reports of anthrax in Pyapot, Saskatchewan. 0.99
00:04:45.560 It says right here, Saskatchewan Agriculture says,
00:04:47.780 anthrax has been discovered in the rural municipality of Pyapot.
00:04:51.020 Can anthrax spread through water?
00:04:52.840 In a terrorist attack, bacteria such as baculosanthrac, blah, blah, blah, could be released into the air or in the water or food. 0.97
00:05:01.080 Two fucking days after the reports of them trespassing. 0.98
00:05:05.900 And who the fuck knows where they've been, where they haven't even been caught. 0.99
00:05:10.720 After just a quick Google search, Pilot Butte Moss Bank pants areas. 0.98
00:05:18.040 So if you're in those areas, you seriously need to look at your cattle and treat for anthrax.
00:05:23.920 If the feds have to sneak around, trespass, and break the law to do the job,
00:05:30.640 then there clearly is no good intentions.
00:05:37.000 They're just testing the water. 1.00
00:05:38.720 That is fucking bullshit, is what that is. 1.00
00:05:41.980 If they were just testing water, they would go into that person's yard, 1.00
00:05:46.060 they would knock on their door, and they would ask for permission.
00:05:48.860 But no, the federal government has played their hand.
00:05:51.760 And this is what they gave us. 1.00
00:05:55.640 Shit's gonna hit the fan, people. 1.00
00:06:00.020 I don't know what else to tell ya. 0.99
00:06:01.760 Be ready.
