Inflation in Canada is at an all-time high, and yet the government keeps telling us that it's no big deal. Is there something the government is cooking the books about inflation? Or is there something else going on?

00:00:00.980 Hi, welcome back to another episode of Stand on Guard. It's Thursday, August 22nd, 2024.
00:00:09.320 And we come back. Do you think the government's lying to you about inflation? About how bad it really is?
00:00:15.240 I think so too. And when we come back, we're going to have a look at that.
00:00:21.400 So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:24.360 We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:43.960 Yes, as Sasha always said, please like the broadcast.
00:00:48.640 Yeah, I'm not going to go on today about YouTube suppression.
00:00:51.300 Whatever will be, we'll do. And we do our best.
00:00:55.820 You guys do your best to support this station. Thank you so much.
00:00:59.520 I think we offer here something a little different than just endless clips of other people's news.
00:01:04.980 But I hope my analysis is helpful.
00:01:07.840 I've spent my life working in this business of journalism one way or the other.
00:01:13.180 I've been on all three sides of the mic, as I like to say.
00:01:16.180 And I've never lived through a more interesting and more dangerous time.
00:01:20.240 I really I have a sense of history, I think, largely because I've read a lot of history and I've traveled to historic places.
00:01:28.440 And I've always had a sense of where we are in terms of historical events and being in the midst of history unfolding.
00:01:39.720 That's what's happening right now.
00:01:41.300 We are in the brink of possibly two nuclear wars and nobody really seems to give a damn about it at the government level.
00:01:50.320 They're more concerned about gender ideology and about pride months and pride season in this country.
00:01:56.340 And this is absolutely incredible.
00:01:58.280 But they also love to tell you that inflation is no big deal.
00:02:04.540 How many times do you hear that?
00:02:06.920 And of course, they're lauding the Trudeau government's lauding the July numbers, right?
00:02:16.280 Like it's no big problem here.
00:02:19.520 No, no big problem.
00:02:20.820 And that's so let's have a look at some of these.
00:02:26.740 As we're saying, cooking the books.
00:02:29.400 Yeah.
00:02:31.820 They are cooking the books.
00:02:34.500 Let's have a look at this.
00:02:35.900 OECD predicts Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy over 2020, 2026.
00:02:54.680 That's the reality here.
00:02:56.200 That's what's really happening.
00:02:58.060 And I've got a video to show you in a second, which will really put this in perspective in terms of how bad things really are.
00:03:07.380 I know you're thinking, hey, I go to the store and nothing seems to cost the same.
00:03:13.520 Look at our standard of living.
00:03:17.080 Versus the United States. 0.55
00:03:18.680 And the United States is on the brink of an economic catastrophe.
00:03:22.180 They're about to lose the dollar as the chief monetary factor in oil.
00:03:32.840 The U.S. dollar will no longer be the currency in oil purchasing.
00:03:44.740 Look at that standard of living.
00:03:46.660 We are dropping drastically here.
00:03:52.180 The standard of living is the worst in 40 years.
00:03:55.480 It's declining faster than we can possibly even imagine.
00:04:03.660 I've got a number of other slides from the Fraser Institute that I want to show you after we talk about this.
00:04:10.260 But food bank usage in Toronto.
00:04:17.040 That's going up in a straight line.
00:04:22.180 Now, you often hear, Pauly, have talked about the food banks are busy and the tent cities are busy.
00:04:27.740 We talked about that the other day.
00:04:28.900 The fact that the homeless problem is incredible.
00:04:33.320 But what does the Trudeau government do?
00:04:36.120 They just give you their statistics and say, no problem.
00:04:41.480 We're doing this.
00:04:43.020 And you can't see evidence of it.
00:04:45.000 Don't worry.
00:04:45.540 Now, I'm going to show you a video in a second because the problem I always have with this is that we're being told like inflation is so small.
00:04:55.960 That the numbers being quoted at one time would have been considered no inflation.
00:05:05.320 If you're old enough to remember the 1970s or if you're a kid and you remember your parents talking about the price of consumer goods in the 1970s.
00:05:14.960 Inflation was like an 18 to 20 percent at one point.
00:05:23.020 But that's because the numbers weren't being fudged.
00:05:26.720 They weren't cooking the numbers to make them look like it's not a real issue.
00:05:31.680 People went to the grocery store and they said, hey, I spent $20 on a bag of groceries.
00:05:38.980 Never done that before.
00:05:41.860 You go to the grocery store today.
00:05:45.440 For instance, there's a certain coffee I buy.
00:05:49.320 It was $9.99 a year ago.
00:05:53.460 Now, it's up to about $12.99 now, sometimes higher.
00:05:58.000 And yet, I'm being told that the inflation rate is so small, that shouldn't be happening.
00:06:06.880 Everybody has anecdotal information about how bad inflation is.
00:06:11.900 All you have to do is go to the grocery store every week.
00:06:17.460 All you have to do is just be a consumer of goods and services.
00:06:24.020 And you know the price is escalating.
00:06:28.000 But the government keeps telling us, it's no problem.
00:06:34.280 Don't worry about it.
00:06:36.380 And that is, and I've suspected from the very beginning here, there's something wrong with the numbers.
00:06:43.500 Because we're not getting the truth from the government.
00:06:47.320 They don't want to tell you the truth.
00:06:48.640 Because they don't think you can handle it.
00:06:53.340 Because we've totally changed the way we gauge inflation, how we measure inflation.
00:06:59.400 And I think this video here explains it even better than I could probably do that.
00:07:03.920 I'm not an economist.
00:07:04.900 I'm a political scientist.
00:07:06.960 I'm a journalist.
00:07:08.100 But I'm not an economist.
00:07:11.060 And I do my best to interpret economics.
00:07:16.000 But I think this is a very good video.
00:07:17.960 And I'll stop it in certain places just to elaborate.
00:07:20.800 But if you think we're not living through the 1970s again, we are.
00:07:32.400 Oh, sorry.
00:07:35.440 It's not the one I wanted to show you.
00:07:37.920 Here we go.
00:07:38.380 Let's all celebrate, but don't go and spend all of that hard-earned cash because prices are still going up and we're all getting poorer, just at a slower rate.
00:07:53.480 And let's absolutely not pay attention to compounding inflation.
00:07:58.960 Let me explain.
00:08:00.980 To prices being there.
00:08:02.780 And you don't really see that in this data, okay?
00:08:05.520 Because inflation is really just measuring the difference between that and that.
00:08:09.160 And if you look at those two lines, you're talking about a 2.3% change.
00:08:13.400 That's the number we're talking about today.
00:08:15.600 But for a lot of people, it's not about that.
00:08:17.640 It's about the difference between this and that.
00:08:20.040 And when you look at the difference between this and that, that's 20%.
00:08:25.020 And I think this, I think, illustrates the problem quite well.
00:08:30.700 And it's easy to understand this chart, this graph here.
00:08:33.580 So, that's why you have no money left at the end of the month.
00:08:38.840 Are you getting paid 20% more than you were?
00:08:42.560 No.
00:08:43.860 Where's that 20% going? 0.94
00:08:45.440 In taxes.
00:08:49.220 As well.
00:08:50.960 And in inflation.
00:08:53.600 Inflation is eating up your savings.
00:08:56.380 You have no savings left.
00:09:03.640 And you have nothing left to save at the end of the month.
00:09:07.460 This is going to create grinding poverty.
00:09:11.540 And where do you think that's leading?
00:09:13.600 Why would the government want to impoverish people?
00:09:16.580 Why would the Trudeau government want to impoverish Canada?
00:09:19.880 So, they are more reliant on the government than ever.
00:09:24.800 So, you can't make it on your own.
00:09:27.300 You can't make it with your job.
00:09:29.640 You're going to be constantly out of money.
00:09:32.220 Short of funds.
00:09:33.680 That's what they're up to.
00:09:34.980 Let's watch some more of this.
00:09:36.140 That's the dichotomy here.
00:09:37.620 Between these inflation numbers where it looks normal.
00:09:40.720 And this, which is really not normal at all.
00:09:44.160 There you have it.
00:09:45.100 So, if inflation increased by 25% last year.
00:09:49.180 But we're basing this year on last year.
00:09:51.680 And it's only increased by 2.5% today.
00:09:55.320 Yeah.
00:09:55.800 Everything is fine.
00:09:57.720 Canada has never had it so good.
00:10:00.740 I'm going to go over the inflation data.
00:10:03.040 But before we begin.
00:10:04.760 I 100% guarantee with 100% certainty.
00:10:09.340 The Liberal Caucus is already all over social media.
00:10:13.380 announcing this wonderful drop in inflation.
00:10:17.500 Starting with our very own Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister,
00:10:21.300 Chrystia Freeland.
00:10:22.480 Ha ha ha.
00:10:23.400 You know what?
00:10:24.060 Right when I checked 23 seconds ago.
00:10:27.700 Guess who chimed in?
00:10:29.600 Chrystia Freeland.
00:10:31.340 Good news, Canada.
00:10:32.880 She writes.
00:10:33.880 Everything is going up to the moon.
00:10:37.100 But guess what?
00:10:37.960 It's only going up now at a slower pace of 2.5%.
00:10:42.960 The Bank of Canada now has lowered interest rates twice.
00:10:47.540 Making Canada the first country in the G7 to do so.
00:10:52.060 This is a positive sign our economic plan is working.
00:10:56.520 Ha ha ha.
00:10:57.460 You have to be effing kidding me.
00:10:59.620 We are watching a freight train crash in slow motion.
00:11:03.400 The reason that inflation is going down is because Canadians can't afford to spend any freaking
00:11:08.860 money and our economy is imploding.
00:11:13.500 So how do you know that a finance minister knows nothing about economics without saying
00:11:18.640 that she knows nothing about economics?
00:11:21.140 Just head over to her social media account. 0.96
00:11:24.580 Now it's time to look at some data.
00:11:27.940 I'm going to close with some comments.
00:11:30.460 Let's go.
00:11:32.120 Before he goes on there, that's exactly what happened, of course, when the inflation rate
00:11:37.120 was released for July, 2.5%.
00:11:39.320 Trudeau took credit.
00:11:41.320 Chrystia Freeland took credit.
00:11:42.840 And the government kept telling you, don't worry, 2.5% is nothing.
00:11:46.100 And as I said, in the 1970s, if they had said the inflation rate was 2.5%, people would
00:11:51.980 have said, hey, the inflation is over.
00:11:53.280 That's like having unemployment at 2.5%.
00:11:58.220 It's basically negligible.
00:12:02.660 So this is why they can continue to tell you that inflation is not a problem because they've
00:12:08.420 redefined inflation.
00:12:10.980 And as I say, if that was all there was to it, if it was just about deceiving you into
00:12:19.480 thinking this government was doing a hell of a good job with the economy, that would
00:12:25.460 be one thing.
00:12:26.140 And that would be bad enough.
00:12:27.580 But this government is trying to convince you that they're doing a good job with the
00:12:32.760 economy, even though they know you have less money in the bank, less money in your pockets,
00:12:38.560 less money to spend on anything except basic essentials.
00:12:45.140 This is why in this country only 2% of disposable income is going towards clothing.
00:12:51.580 How long do you think that's going to sustain stores that sell clothing?
00:12:56.280 We used to spend 12% of our disposable income on new clothes in 1961, according to a Fraser
00:13:03.860 report.
00:13:05.700 We're spending 2% now.
00:13:07.240 That is a recipe for the destruction of our entire industry because Canadians can't afford. 1.00
00:13:14.180 They have no disposable income.
00:13:15.660 The disposable income is going on health care costs.
00:13:20.140 You think it's free in this country?
00:13:21.640 No, we're paying more than the U.S. in taxes for our health care.
00:13:25.320 Let's listen to some more of this.
00:13:26.300 Inflation is down to 2.5% in the month of July.
00:13:29.920 Food purchase and store, 2.1%.
00:13:32.660 It's still going up.
00:13:34.660 The number one driver of inflation is shelter, and it's still 5.7% down from 6.2%.
00:13:41.680 We're going to see improvement as interest rates do come down.
00:13:45.660 And transportation is up 2%.
00:13:48.600 They're elevated because gas prices in the prairies is up because of a shutdown in a
00:13:54.620 refinery in western United States.
00:13:57.580 12-month change to inflation, excluding gasoline and including gasoline.
00:14:02.240 We are heading down.
00:14:04.960 Everything is down this time around.
00:14:07.340 We're still way down on clothing and footwear.
00:14:10.000 That means people are not spending money.
00:14:11.920 And shelter is starting to push our inflation rate down.
00:14:16.880 And this chart is the one that stands out the most to me.
00:14:20.440 This is purchasing a car in Canada, including resale.
00:14:25.180 It has literally fallen right off.
00:14:28.440 This means our economy is not performing great because the first thing to go is,
00:14:33.600 you know what?
00:14:34.040 I'm going to sell my second car, and I'm definitely not purchasing a new one.
00:14:39.200 This is fascinating to me.
00:14:43.640 Now, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:14:46.260 The reason they can say inflation is not so high is because we're not spending money
00:14:52.100 on items at all.
00:14:55.480 So if you're not spending money on items, well, they can't be inflationary, can they?
00:15:01.060 So we're not buying new cars.
00:15:02.640 We're not buying new clothes.
00:15:04.040 We're not spending disposable income on things like this because we have no disposable income.
00:15:10.860 It's a vicious cycle.
00:15:12.640 This is what is being described here.
00:15:14.540 So, therefore, it's not inflationary if you can't buy things because it just doesn't become
00:15:22.600 part of the equation.
00:15:23.620 This is how they're cooking the books.
00:15:25.580 They're taking these things out of the equation.
00:15:28.800 And I think this individual really sums it up well.
00:15:32.580 And by the way, please like the station.
00:15:34.420 Hit the like buttons.
00:15:35.620 YouTube is doing it again today, trying to prevent you from watching this because they
00:15:40.640 don't want you to know about inflation, believe me.
00:15:44.540 A car in Canada, including resale, it has literally fallen right off.
00:15:55.120 This means our economy is not performing great because the first thing to go is, you know
00:16:00.520 what, I'm going to sell my second car and I'm definitely not purchasing a new one.
00:16:05.820 And 50% of the provinces saw a decrease in inflation.
00:16:10.660 And if you made it this far in the video, you are in luck because I say,
00:16:14.540 I'm going to save the best for last.
00:16:16.000 This is the most important chart.
00:16:19.340 When the red line goes below the blue line, like right here, that means the Bank of Canada
00:16:26.380 is over tightening.
00:16:27.920 And they are definitely going to cause a recession if we're not already in one.
00:16:34.800 To close, 1% of inflation is because of the Bank of Canada's mortgage interest rates.
00:16:41.720 So if they cut the interest rate to 2%, inflation would drop down to 1.5%.
00:16:47.300 They don't want inflation to go below 2%, so they're not going to be cutting interest rates
00:16:52.960 to 2%.
00:16:53.960 That is why I believe the terminal rate will be 2.5% to 2.75%.
00:16:59.540 The Bank of Canada has an interest rate announcement on September 4th, just two weeks away.
00:17:05.940 And yes, they're going to be cutting.
00:17:08.360 The Bank of Canada better start cutting and start cutting sharply.
00:17:12.060 These 2.5% interest rate cuts, peanut size, are going to do absolutely nothing.
00:17:19.100 They need a cut by at least 50 basis points in two weeks.
00:17:23.180 We're going to see what they're going to do.
00:17:25.280 But guess what?
00:17:26.260 It's probably already too late.
00:17:32.060 Probably already too late.
00:17:34.140 And I can see by the numbers, this is not having much traction today.
00:17:41.180 But I think it's an issue we have to deal with.
00:17:44.540 Every video can't be crowds chanting, I hate Trudeau.
00:17:50.560 Sometimes we have to deal with real issues, and that's what we're here for.
00:17:54.500 But I find this, I think this is absolutely fascinating, what's going on here.
00:17:58.740 And it is a perfect example of how this government wants you to believe something
00:18:09.040 and is willing to do whatever it thinks it has to do to make you believe that.
00:18:16.860 Now, here's a Fraser report here.
00:18:22.660 This is Canada's debt.
00:18:24.020 Canada's debt is spiraling out of control, and it's been doing that since Justin Trudeau
00:18:32.020 came into office.
00:18:33.420 Just look what Joe Biden has done in the United States in four years, what Trudeau has been
00:18:38.260 working on here for nine years now.
00:18:40.800 The national debt is going through the roof.
00:18:44.540 And what happens when it all collapses?
00:18:47.180 See, we're entering into a period.
00:18:50.460 The video I just showed didn't use the phrase, but there was an expression.
00:18:54.020 In the 1970s, it was a new phenomenon called stagflation, where you had a stagnant economy,
00:19:01.260 a recession, at the same time you had inflation.
00:19:03.520 That's what the 1970s were.
00:19:07.200 You had sort of a constant recession of people looking for jobs, jobs that actually paid enough
00:19:13.900 money.
00:19:16.220 And inflation persisted throughout the 1970s.
00:19:19.800 It was a horrible economic climate.
00:19:22.540 And that's exactly where we are today.
00:19:29.180 There's Canada's net debt.
00:19:32.800 It is escalating.
00:19:38.140 And there's no end in sight.
00:19:40.740 Canada's gross debt.
00:19:52.740 No CP or Quebec pension included.
00:19:56.120 Absolutely incredible.
00:19:57.320 By using net debt as a share of the economy, Canada ranks fifth lowest of 32 countries and
00:20:13.220 lowest amongst the G7.
00:20:15.660 You remember, you know, Trudeau, because a lot of you watched Question Period with me.
00:20:19.340 What's the one thing you always say, you always hear from the liberal front bench?
00:20:25.600 It doesn't matter if the question has anything to do with it.
00:20:28.880 But the answer is always, Canada is number one amongst the G7.
00:20:33.040 Our credit rating is just great.
00:20:36.720 We're actually lowest among the G7.
00:20:39.120 Our debt.
00:20:39.520 By using gross debt as a share of the economy, Canada falls to 26th of 32 countries and its
00:20:49.040 third lowest, the G7.
00:20:51.720 Canada experiences the largest change in its indebtedness ranking, falling 21 places when
00:20:59.320 the measure shifts from net debt to gross debt.
00:21:03.360 One reason for this pronounced change in ranking is that the net debt includes the assets of
00:21:10.640 the Canada and Quebec pension plans.
00:21:14.280 You remember how we're always saying they're spending the pension?
00:21:19.600 They're robbing the pension.
00:21:21.300 That's what they're doing.
00:21:23.880 According to IMF, International Monetary Fund data, the difference between Canada's gross and
00:21:32.400 net debt was $2.7 trillion at the end of 2023, which means the assets of CPP and QPP explain more
00:21:47.560 than one quarter of the difference.
00:21:51.940 So that is what they're up to.
00:21:54.060 And I think this is, if this, this should shock you, it should shock you, but I'm, I'm sure
00:22:02.700 it doesn't because you know what this government is up to is it's a smokescreen.
00:22:06.580 It's camouflage.
00:22:08.540 And this is why during question period, which I know a lot of you watch with me when I, when
00:22:13.820 I do that live and I did that live for the last year, I know it can be agonizing at times,
00:22:20.380 but you get the same answer from these government ministers.
00:22:24.980 We're highest in the G7 for what?
00:22:28.180 Oh yeah.
00:22:28.460 And our credit rating is really good.
00:22:30.960 Oh yes.
00:22:31.620 And eight out of 10 Canadians receive more back from the so-called Canada carbon rebate than
00:22:36.880 they actually are forced to spend in the carbon tax.
00:22:40.300 All lies.
00:22:42.140 The liberal government has completely fabricated all of this.
00:22:45.160 And if you really look at the question period, there's about five different talking points
00:22:51.800 that the ministers all share.
00:22:55.360 And they use these talking points no matter what the question is.
00:22:59.280 And when it comes to inflation, we're doing better than anybody in the G7.
00:23:04.780 That's always the claim and it's always false claim.
00:23:07.700 It's not, it's not happening.
00:23:11.300 So I leave that with you today.
00:23:13.180 I want to talk about a couple of other things before I leave you.
00:23:16.420 I usually spend about 25 minutes.
00:23:18.920 Just thank you again for your support.
00:23:21.420 Please share this station with your friends and family.
00:23:24.360 Because it's, we're under tremendous YouTube pressure right now.
00:23:29.660 I don't know if you, I mean, people are being kicked off YouTube now for a week.
00:23:35.800 Judge Napolitano, for instance, who I watch every day.
00:23:39.360 He does foreign policy with some fantastic guests.
00:23:43.180 And he revealed yesterday he was kicked off YouTube for a week because of a segment that
00:23:50.200 YouTube deemed to be hate speech.
00:23:52.800 And of course, I watched the segment.
00:23:56.380 I didn't think there was any hate speech there.
00:23:58.620 These kicked off the platform for a week.
00:24:01.620 Other people are getting black or black marks for the smallest of things.
00:24:06.340 And the reason why it's very delicate right now, it's like walking on eggshells and they, they are deliberately suppressing shows like this because of the U.S. election.
00:24:18.300 They put the warning out, Google put the warning out, Google, which owns YouTube, put the warning out a couple of months ago that they were going to be monitoring broadcasts very closely because of the federal U.S. election.
00:24:35.480 And yes, they don't want any disinformation out there about that election.
00:24:41.300 So they'll be very diligent in pulling down anything they disagree with.
00:24:45.860 So that's what we're up against with YouTube.
00:24:49.640 Censorship and suppression.
00:24:51.700 And it's quite frightening.
00:24:53.460 Now, what's happening for the rest of the week?
00:24:54.520 I'm going back to the trial tomorrow of Tamara Leach and Chris Barber.
00:24:58.400 However, this is supposed to be the last day of the summation.
00:25:04.660 I was told the other day by a well-placed source, I can't say who told me this, that the crown wants to end things on Friday.
00:25:15.000 I know this is a bit of a departure from the rest of the show, but I thought I should discuss this with you because I will be doing a show tomorrow.
00:25:21.080 But after the trial is over in the afternoon, probably six o'clock or so.
00:25:28.400 But I've been told by a well-placed source, the crown wants this trial to end tomorrow in terms of the testimony.
00:25:36.040 Because they have spent so much money on a mischief trial, they just want to get this thing done.
00:25:44.820 Because it's beginning to get really embarrassing for the prosecution.
00:25:49.180 I'm going to find out, by the way, how much money the crown has spent persecuting Tamara Leach and Chris Barber.
00:25:58.100 How many millions of dollars has this cost the crown, also known as taxpayers?
00:26:05.900 And I know you can say, well, what's two or three or four million dollars when it comes to government spending?
00:26:12.480 That's not the point.
00:26:15.520 The point is that they would spend two or three or four million dollars on a mischief trial that should have been resolved before it even went to trial, as it usually is for anybody else.
00:26:28.540 If the government didn't want to show trial, it would have been over.
00:26:32.440 It would never have gone to trial.
00:26:34.280 And don't forget, who's to blame on this?
00:26:39.520 Yes, Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act.
00:26:43.060 Yes, Justin Trudeau crushed the Freedom Convoy with the full force of police.
00:26:49.180 Yes, Justin Trudeau was the one who dismissed all the protesters as racist and misogynist.
00:26:57.820 But Tamara Leach and Chris Barber are sitting in a provincial courthouse every time they come to Ottawa.
00:27:02.460 So that's the provincial government of Ontario, the Ford government, the faux conservative Doug Ford government that continues this action and that has initiated this judicial action against Tamara Leach and Chris Barber.
00:27:22.000 That's who's behind all this.
00:27:25.200 And it's something I think we should all remember.
00:27:29.400 So I'm going back tomorrow.
00:27:30.280 I think that's going to be the last day.
00:27:32.460 But as I said during my last broadcast about the Freedom Convoy trial, we're not going to get a verdict on this until maybe early January 2025.
00:27:43.640 Maybe as late as March.
00:27:46.520 Nobody can really tell.
00:27:47.660 But it's not going to be somebody said to me this morning, oh, we're going to get a verdict next week, right?
00:27:52.680 No.
00:27:52.860 We're going to get a verdict in early 2025.
00:27:57.540 That to me is outrageous.
00:28:00.860 These people have been put through judicial hell.
00:28:05.380 This has been lawfare waged against them.
00:28:07.860 And I really do think there's a lesson here for all Canadians.
00:28:12.500 And if these two go down to defeat in this, Canada goes down to defeat in our freedom of speech and our freedom of assembly has been perhaps irreparably harmed by the state.
00:28:28.660 In this country.
00:28:30.440 In this country.
00:28:31.120 And that's what we have to guard against.
00:28:32.720 So I'm going to leave it at that today.
00:28:34.380 Thank you so much for watching.
00:28:38.040 Please share this broadcast with your friends and family.
00:28:40.880 And thank you for being a supporter of the Creighton's Right channel and the Stand on Guard show.
00:28:49.760 I'm here, as always, to give you all the news you need to know.
