hello and welcome everyone to another edition of fake news friday it is friday october 14th 2022
00:00:17.360
another week that was and lots more in the blizzard of lies that we try to expose and
00:00:25.020
have a little bit of fun with on this weekly edition of the program here on true north
00:00:29.800
i am andrew lawton joined as i shouldn't say as always because last week i was gone and rupa was
00:00:35.780
here but but the the constant was harrison faulkner the constant standing firm the eye of the storm in
00:00:42.540
the hurricane of lies if i want to torture the metaphors of weather here harrison how was the
00:00:47.760
week for you sir good it was good it's a big week for us andrew you know we've got uh danielle smith
00:00:52.900
exploding heads at our very first press conference not missing any any chance to uh to get it started
00:00:58.680
and of course uh yesterday was the kickoff of the inquiry into the public emergency order so
00:01:04.260
it's a big week and of course with that andrew means an endless supply of fake news material for us to
00:01:10.740
get into today yeah i think we may have to uh over the course of the seven weeks of the public order
00:01:16.800
emergency commission detect a fair bit of disinformation and misinformation coming from
00:01:21.340
some of the government witnesses there but we will we will reserve judgment until those moments
00:01:26.700
actually come lots more uh outside of the commission this week to get into let's actually
00:01:33.000
start off with danielle smith i know you talked about it on ratio and i talked about it on the
00:01:37.500
andrew lawton show but this was really a perfect storm of media freak out here because danielle smith
00:01:43.700
comes out and if you missed the clip she said in no uncertain terms that vaccine discrimination
00:01:49.080
is unacceptable take a look the community that faced the most restrictions on their freedoms
00:01:55.100
in the last year were those who made a choice not to be vaccinated i don't think i've ever
00:02:00.660
experienced a situation in my lifetime where a person was fired from their job or not allowed to
00:02:08.720
watch their kids play hockey or not allowed to go visit a loved one in long-term care or hospital
00:02:14.120
we're not allowed to go get on a plane to either go across the country to see family or even travel
00:02:20.120
across the border so they have been the most discriminated against group that i've ever
00:02:25.000
witnessed in my lifetime that's a pretty extreme level of discrimination that we have seen i don't
00:02:30.560
take away any of the discrimination that i've seen in those other groups that you mentioned
00:02:34.880
but this has been an extraordinary time in the last uh year in particular and i want people to know
00:02:42.060
that i find that unacceptable that we are not going to create a segregated society on the basis of a
00:02:48.300
medical choice again i've been like wondering when a single politician in canada who holds elected
00:02:54.600
office was going to be speaking like that and it is not only the premier of alberta danielle smith
00:02:59.640
but at her very first press conference like half an hour after she was sworn in she's saying yeah
00:03:05.800
vaccine discrimination is wrong they're the most discriminated against group she's seen in her
00:03:10.840
lifetime and it will not happen on her watch now the most discriminated against group in her
00:03:17.520
lifetime that was the part that the media latched onto and i want to share interestingly enough a
00:03:23.200
tweet from brian uh breguet who is too close to call on twitter where he said it was actually quite
00:03:29.540
brilliant because anyone who was condemning her remarks had to like accept the fundamental premise
00:03:35.080
that yes the unvaccinated were victims of discrimination so she shifted the overton window a bit there brian
00:03:42.480
pointed out and i thought quite aptly so but people didn't like it and just to to go over
00:03:48.080
some of the responses here i'll take a couple and you can take a couple sherry de novo the former
00:03:54.200
ndp member of provincial parliament in ontario reverend sherry de novo i should say says white
00:04:00.600
straight supremacy and privilege you have a spokesperson oh yeah burn uh evan solomon who generally
00:04:08.380
speaking i like he said why do some politicians never mention the 45 662 canadians who died of
00:04:15.820
covid or their families as if they are not victims of the pandemic or the health care workers who worked
00:04:20.880
over time under brutal conditions and risked their own family's health i why do politicians not
00:04:29.000
mention covid deaths and health care workers for the last three years i think that's all politicians and
00:04:35.800
media have been talking about and i don't think anyone including danielle smith is trying to
00:04:39.860
diminish the losses of people who died of covid i think the issue is that she's trying to point out
00:04:45.020
that there have been other costs to this that no one has been speaking about this is not a zero-sum
00:04:50.780
game you can't just say well if we're talking about one group it means we're not talking about others no
00:04:55.800
she's just saying why is no one talking about discrimination against the unvaccinated
00:05:00.180
exactly and not only is she not just saying that she's also saying in her in her statements
00:05:05.320
very importantly andrew that she's not taking away from discrimination of any other group faced
00:05:10.860
in this country she's just saying that in her lifetime and again i think those comments are
00:05:16.300
completely defend like you can defend those comments 100 there's an argument to be made there
00:05:20.920
i made the point yesterday in my lifetime i have never seen the discrimination faced by
00:05:25.520
unvaccinated people in this country it is insane it isn't unacceptable and so it really i think it
00:05:30.920
exposes a lot of these people andrew for taking such an issue with a statement that is what would
00:05:36.640
seem to be totally reasonable and totally normal comments the fact that you take such an issue with
00:05:42.060
a canadian politician saying that the discrimination faced by the unvaccinated is unacceptable is exposing
00:05:48.640
these people who they must i mean to take issue with that statement you must be on the side that says
00:05:53.920
actually this is okay it is okay otherwise how could you really challenge that statement if you
00:05:58.460
want to challenge that statement bring together some actual arguments bring together some legitimate
00:06:02.560
counter arguments to this case if you're just taking issue with it it sounds like you're actually
00:06:07.160
in favor of the segregation of the unvaccinated and i think it really exposed a lot of people
00:06:11.260
and look there's there's some other incredible incredible things to get into here you have charles
00:06:16.820
adler uh who i i've i've considered to be one of the uh fakest conservatives in this country he's a he's a
00:06:22.900
commentator on twitter very active on twitter he wrote this has daniel smith ever met an indigenous
00:06:27.620
person a black person a brown person a woman no andrew i'm sure daniel smith has never met a woman
00:06:33.640
in her life he goes on to say a brown woman in a hijab a woman without a hijab in iran how do you live
00:06:39.360
on this planet in this century and miss every freaking frame of every scene very odd take there from
00:06:46.480
charles adler again this idea that you can't you can't defend the unvaccinated that's a big no-no it
00:06:53.400
turns out in in in the canadian political establishment andrew i didn't really know that
00:06:57.240
but after uh tuesday's comments and the reaction to them i realized that actually that is the one
00:07:02.340
group of people you can't publicly defend if you're a leader in office strange times we're living in
00:07:06.960
yeah and i should say danielle smith put out a statement on wednesday clarifying her comment she
00:07:12.500
didn't retract she didn't apologize she said look obviously she's not trying to diminish
00:07:17.580
discrimination that other groups have experienced and i pointed out on my show that it's it's difficult
00:07:23.800
to get into the comparison game because in her lifetime gay marriage was illegal so that's significant
00:07:29.160
discrimination against gay people in her lifetime there were residential schools so that's a form of
00:07:35.240
discrimination that we saw in some of those but the point is is that we should be able to on its face
00:07:41.080
say that the discriminant against discrimination against the unvaccinated is wrong and interestingly
00:07:46.720
enough that the one that i found to be the most insidious of these uh tweets it was a tweet from a
00:07:51.620
ctv reporter brianna carston smith who says premier danielle smith has released a statement following her
00:07:58.040
false claim that unvaccinated people have been the most discriminated against group in her lifetime
00:08:03.920
this is not a commentator this is a reporter who's supposed to be dispassionate
00:08:08.980
and objective and unbiased saying that this was a false claim to go back to you know first year
00:08:17.200
university here certain things are normative which means they are inherently subjective you can argue
00:08:23.700
for them you can argue against them the claim that the unvaccinated are the most discriminated against
00:08:29.340
group in danielle smith's lifetime is an argument you may disagree with the argument you may agree with
00:08:33.860
the argument but it is an argument so how can it be false and how can a reporter just say without
00:08:39.280
offering any evidence that that is a false claim and this is the type of stuff that the media does
00:08:44.920
with conservatives where they turn fact checking into this weapon and convince the world that they
00:08:50.600
have the authority to determine what's true and what's false it's it's really really insidious you
00:08:56.260
you you know this idea that you can just as a reporter say that this person is false or as
00:09:03.100
another reporter from the globe and mail said that this statement would make sense if daniel smith was
00:09:07.540
two toddlers stacked in a blazer it's it's it's minimizing the fact and the reality that just last
00:09:13.000
year andrew unvaccinated canadians couldn't go see a dying parent in a long-term care center they
00:09:18.520
couldn't get on an airplane a train or a boat to go to another last year i mean two months ago two
00:09:23.280
months one month ago in their own country so this idea that that that you know we can minimize the
00:09:29.660
discrimination faced by this group and we have to amplify the discrimination that i'm sorry i think
00:09:34.320
in in if we're looking in recent terms in the last few years there's nothing that can compare not even
00:09:38.940
close it's incredible and this is another very important point a lot of these reactions completely
00:09:44.080
unhinged reactions to this statement are talking about daniel smith pushing white supremacy this is some
00:09:50.440
sort of a racial thing that she's you know she's now the spokesperson for white supremacists
00:09:56.000
the reality is andrew we have indigenous canadians who in large numbers are unvaccinated black canadians
00:10:03.780
are in large numbers unvaccinated it is so short-sighted and so it's it's so insane to me that we have
00:10:11.060
reporters political establishment figures former politicians current politicians even making this
00:10:16.380
point knowing full well actually that many canadians of many different backgrounds races
00:10:21.400
ethnic ethnicities have a multitude of reasons to not be on to not be vaccinated and so we're just
00:10:27.680
going to basically say no the the only politician that's speaking up for you the only politician that
00:10:32.180
has since you know since becoming elected displayed a spine and actually spoken for those
00:10:37.400
people actually no she's the mouthpiece for white supremacy no wonder andrew it took one it took
00:10:43.380
until now for us to get a real politician to actually say these words not until truckers in
00:10:49.740
ottawa with nothing to lose broke the ice went there and went and did that first then the floodgates
00:10:55.640
opened then conservatives started to speak up for unvaccinated people and to this day we're now
00:11:00.220
seeing people on the other side of the aisle now basically saying that anyone who does that is
00:11:05.200
promoting white supremacy it's racist to say that what what kind of country is this now it's insane
00:11:11.080
yeah and the whole point of these supposed trend towards intersectionality is that we were
00:11:17.600
supposed to look at the intersections of all these things so if there are systemic reasons that
00:11:22.040
certain ethnic minorities are not getting vaccinated we need to be able to deal with that
00:11:26.100
but instead we vilify them and anyone who stands up for the unvaccinated is a dirty white supremacist
00:11:32.120
so these are the rules i don't make them i'm just trying to interpret them in real time here
00:11:37.060
what's the oldest political wisdom in the book to the left never let a crisis go to waste and as i
00:11:44.000
remarked on twitter the other day sometimes these people just can't help themselves uh from ctv
00:11:50.560
ukraine war may be a blessing for climate un weather chief says the head of the un weather agency says that
00:11:59.760
from a climate perspective uh putin just invading ukraine and uh senselessly trying to conquer
00:12:07.280
territory and kill people is a blessing from a climate perspective because it's accelerating the
00:12:13.460
development and investment in green energies over the longer term even though fossil fuels are right
00:12:18.140
now at a record time of high demand but uh you know we we don't talk about that part this is from
00:12:24.140
peteri talus who's the secretary general of the world meteorological association he says from the
00:12:30.740
five to ten year time scale it's clear the war war in ukraine will speed up our consumption of fossil
00:12:36.500
energy think of how good it'll be for the climate if putin nukes ukraine and there's just like no one
00:12:42.240
emitting uh anything in that part of the world won't that be really great i honestly i can't believe
00:12:47.580
these people they're saying the quiet part out loud no exactly we hear so much about you know we we
00:12:53.000
always hear andrew about misinformation and disinformation and fighting back against
00:12:56.760
conspiracies but why does it feel as though the un and some of these people just they just throw
00:13:02.380
fuel onto the fire of conspiracies if you didn't want people to think that there's something something
00:13:06.060
else going on or there's people trying to take advantage of this conflict then why would you say
00:13:10.420
something like this and the the idea that you could really write an article about this giving it
00:13:14.700
basically credence making putting weight behind these statements is also hilarious i took issue with
00:13:19.560
ctv for even writing the story it's just incredible to me and this idea again that it's a blessing for
00:13:24.880
the climate andrew but in the five to ten year time scale we're going to speed up our consumption of
00:13:29.260
fossil fuels it's great for the climate andrew but now we have germany and we have all these other
00:13:33.540
countries panicking trying to get oil trying to get fossil fuels into their countries to heat
00:13:38.020
themselves over the winter so my no but the panic is part of the fun because the panic is going to be
00:13:42.900
what makes them switch to like solar and dilithium crystals yeah only after you have to freeze
00:13:48.040
first you have to go through the winter of the frozen winter and then all of a sudden we're just
00:13:52.740
going to immediately transition in 10 years time of course so great for the environment we're going
00:13:57.000
to transition to uh to this green revolution and we're going to we're going to thank putin and we're
00:14:01.940
going to thank the whole uh this whole crisis for it very strange very strange time but i will say
00:14:06.940
this does kind of justify i think andrew justin trudeau's comments regarding germany's request for us to
00:14:13.660
provide them with oil remember justin trudeau when when germany came begging for canadian uh fossil
00:14:19.340
fuels to help them get through the winter uh remember justin trudeau said there's no business
00:14:24.120
case we made for it again didn't sound very wise because of course the germans would be paying for
00:14:29.040
it all but no there's no business case we made for it and we understand why andrew because this
00:14:32.960
conflict is supposed to be this great it's supposed to be this great green revolution i guess we're going
00:14:38.120
to it's going it's going to spur us on to a new era of green energy i i just i saw this and i really
00:14:44.580
thought this can't be right turns out it's 100 real and this really did come from a un weather chief
00:14:50.560
strange times yeah and just a minor correction it was lng that the liberals said there was no
00:14:57.460
business case for but oddly all the canadian companies that export lng were saying no we think
00:15:02.860
there's totally a business case for it so it's just like trudeau's own ideological opposition to it but
00:15:07.820
i will point out here that what we're seeing from the un dude here is very much aligned with the
00:15:14.300
great reset narrative we saw during the lockdown where you got all these people that were just like
00:15:18.540
giddy about oh and everyone's locked in their homes think about how good it is for the climate because
00:15:22.600
cars aren't on the road and and they don't understand that this thing that they are so invested in
00:15:29.080
is coming because people's lives are being ruined and in this particular case it's literal war that
00:15:35.420
they're saying is good for the climate no it's it's very very odd and i want to kind of pull some
00:15:41.500
of these pull some of these quotes from the article because it's it's it's crazy so he basically says
00:15:46.820
that the rising prices for carbon spewing fuels like oil gas and coal carbon spewing fuels that's
00:15:52.620
a new one i haven't actually heard that before uh have also made higher price renewable energies like
00:15:56.700
solar wind and hydrothermal more competitive in the energy marketplace so yeah you've got to again like i
00:16:02.020
said you've got to go through the frozen winter you've got to basically freeze for everyone to
00:16:06.900
get on the same page that actually we need to just ditch them all and go to the you know solar wind and
00:16:12.040
hydrothermal energies again it's just it's just crazy this is how you fuel conspiracies so you make
00:16:17.680
people go go crazy with all these stuff he writes the energy sector currently is responsible for about
00:16:22.220
three quarters of emissions of heat trapping greenhouse gases and he called for complete transformation of
00:16:27.080
the global energy system andrew like you said clearly they're not letting any they're not letting this go to
00:16:32.000
waste at all and they're going to push their climate agenda through this no matter what oh boy
00:16:36.880
yeah it's the old rama manual wisdom as i said at the top of the segment here never let a crisis go to
00:16:42.220
waste uh but be beyond the benefit to the climate of potential nuclear calamity uh let's turn to
00:16:49.300
halloween coming up in a couple of weeks and unless you want to go as the world meteorological organization
00:16:54.040
secretary general for halloween i think halloween is being canceled right now at least in toronto
00:16:59.500
where there have been some reports from parents that tdsb schools toronto district school board
00:17:05.000
schools have banned the use of the name halloween on well on on halloween uh so it's now no longer
00:17:14.440
halloween it is something that uh they're calling i don't even know what they're calling in the past
00:17:19.660
they've called it like black and orange day uh but i don't even know if that's permitted here so there
00:17:24.320
are some of the rules uh costumes which appropriate another culture cannot be worn uh you can't wear
00:17:29.960
masks at school ironically because after you know two years of forcing students to wear masks you
00:17:35.040
now can't wear halloween masks and what else do we have here uh you can't have dance for halloween but
00:17:41.980
you can have a movement session so you can do like mindful stretching instead of dancing so they're
00:17:47.700
like trying to mimic halloween without actually having halloween which would be like saying we're
00:17:54.880
going to put up a tree and give presents but it's not christmas we andrew this has been a slow burn
00:18:00.620
right we've slowly been watching this for how many years now five or six i feel like the the political
00:18:05.700
correctness really took aim at halloween and now we've now we've gone so far that of course it started
00:18:11.360
off with you know saying you couldn't bring toy guns to you know add to your costume you couldn't then
00:18:17.000
bring certain things that it would offend people and now we can't even use the word halloween it's
00:18:21.800
it's it's really crazy now when i first read this i'm hoping that you know again we can't we can't
00:18:28.080
have masks we can't have there can't be any dances you got to be very careful and you know it says you
00:18:33.320
know costumes which are offensive to someone's race or identity will not be tolerated i'm just making
00:18:37.480
sure andrew that there's no halloween party in ottawa at amongst parliament making sure that the tdsb
00:18:44.120
line about the costumes are offensive costumes mocking race makes it to our prime minister it
00:18:50.220
would really be a shame if uh this memo from tdsb didn't make it up to justin trudeau it would be a
00:18:55.400
shame to see him in in blackface one more time again it's just it is really it is really crazy that
00:19:01.140
we're going through this whole thing where we have to pretend as though these students are so they're so
00:19:06.380
um what's the right word for it they're so coddled that they can't even be they can't even dress up as
00:19:11.500
you know in costumes i i it's just a sad kind of state of affairs they're ripping away halloween
00:19:16.940
from kids they're taking all the fun away from it because we have to pretend as though really these
00:19:21.020
costumes are that offensive very very unfortunate that we're that we're here and again this whole
00:19:27.060
point that you can't wear masks you can't wear a mask in school now but we do have i'm all on board
00:19:32.160
with the mask ban i will take the halloween mask ban if it means that every type of mask yes exactly
00:19:36.940
so you you can't so you can't go as like amir adoran or nilly caplan mirth for halloween
00:19:42.320
which i think is like the real uh success story here for all of us um in any event let's uh let's
00:19:49.580
turn to this one which i i find bizarre because i actually am a big fan in companies not having to
00:19:55.760
be political i i love the idea of the neutral corporation stuck in that winter slump try dove men
00:20:02.580
plus care aluminum free deodorant all it takes is a small change to your routine to lift your mood
00:20:07.800
and it can be as simple as starting your day with the mood boosting sense of dove men plus
00:20:12.100
care aluminum free deodorant it'll keep you feeling fresh for up to 72 hours and when you smell good
00:20:18.580
you feel good visit dove.com to learn more that doesn't weigh in on politics i don't really care
00:20:25.580
if they're liberal or conservative i just want them to make the products they make
00:20:28.640
ben and jerry's has long been an activist company and and they've usually done this in the u.s it's
00:20:35.700
very vermonte the the company ben and jerry are very political that's their right as individuals it's
00:20:41.100
their right as a company but ben and jerry's canada is now going on this crusade to interfere or intervene
00:20:50.620
in canadian school board elections because as you see in the graphic there the far right is stacking
00:20:57.080
our school boards the far right is stacking our school boards and uh you have to like one cherry
00:21:03.460
garcia pint at a time uh rectify this trend and i'm just i'm kind of like there's that old line sir
00:21:12.500
this is a wendy's that is meant when someone just goes on this like political crusade but now i'm like
00:21:17.800
you know sir you're an ice cream guy just like just make me my ice cream so we have we have so many
00:21:22.560
parody accounts going around on twitter andrew that it's tough to really know when you see something
00:21:26.640
so absurd you really do have to do your own research to figure out what you're actually
00:21:31.280
looking at if it's real or not and the problem is i did i did some digging i was very i saw this and
00:21:36.360
i really couldn't believe it i i thought this must be a parody account because the ben and jerry's
00:21:40.940
canada twitter page is is not verified but if you go and look on the other page the other twitter
00:21:45.660
pages there's a ben and jerry's mexico a ben and jerry's uk they're all verified but for some
00:21:50.580
reason the canadian one isn't verified but sure enough it is real this is a legitimate story this
00:21:56.180
is from their actual twitter account and they are they are meddling in the canadian local elections
00:22:01.040
and again when i first saw this i thought this is probably like a gray zone area you know i don't even
00:22:05.740
know if this is properly legal i guess it must be unless someone is gonna gonna call them out on it
00:22:10.760
it is america it is an american company meddling in local canadian elections and it's so it's so
00:22:16.180
incredible to me because they also partner with anti-hate canada anti-hate uh the the sort of
00:22:22.380
the far left blog that kind of attacks the opponents of the establishment attacks trudeau's
00:22:28.220
political opponents and writes hit pieces against them as we know anti-hate is government funded so
00:22:32.940
when you see this ben and jerry's canada the ice cream makers they are partnering with anti-hate
00:22:37.500
to basically tell you that the far right must be stopped at the local school board elections this is
00:22:43.060
funny because andrew i'm pretty sure if you look at all these school boards they're pretty much
00:22:47.360
occupied by people who are demanding we return to masks demanding that teachers get more time off
00:22:52.380
pushing critical race theory and doing everything possible to try and make education as woke and as
00:22:58.680
far away from learning and more so toward yeah i wish i wish there were a right-wing conspiracy to
00:23:04.380
like take over the school boards i want that you know what yeah we could probably do with a couple of
00:23:08.700
right-wing or some conservatives in our school boards just to balance it out a little bit
00:23:12.480
but again it's the idea that finally it looks as though the the overarching point i think is this
00:23:17.840
that actually conservatives are starting to pay attention to an area of of our political system
00:23:23.420
which we've turned a blind eye to for many years and now we see the problems look at look at our
00:23:27.940
current school boards look at what we're dealing with look at the school board the teacher in
00:23:31.920
halton in the halton district school board for goodness sake that's our problem here so of course
00:23:36.400
the the the first sign andrew of conservatives taking school board elections seriously
00:23:41.480
outcome not only the activists on twitter but the corporations american corporations telling us that
00:23:48.420
we need to fight back against the far right i think this is probably a sign that conservatives are doing
00:23:54.020
the right thing and finally paying attention to school boards they've neglected for way too long
00:23:58.240
yeah and just before we move on here i i did a bit of like digging around the ben and jerry's
00:24:04.080
canada website and i found this one from july which i i wish we had access to in july this is canada day
00:24:12.340
let's look at the truth behind how canada became the country it is and i'm like oh that's great
00:24:16.320
ben and jerry's a foreign country committed to learning about canada's history and then the graphic
00:24:20.880
oh canada our home on stolen land so this is basically the ben and jerry's way just to get in there
00:24:28.600
and start crapping all over the country but we always try to end things on a bit of a lighter
00:24:33.820
note so the new flavor of uh preach cobbler i don't think is going down too well but let's talk
00:24:39.660
about cbc's pivot here 1.4 billion dollars worth of taxpayer money every year they have to be nimble
00:24:45.920
and there's a new job yeah andrew there's a new there's a new a whole new occupation in journalism
00:24:51.780
and it is for people to write these uh well tiktok producer you have to basically go on your phone
00:24:58.720
and do a 30 second hit pretend as though you're really doing hard-hitting journalism it's the cbc's
00:25:03.460
newest attempt freshest attempt at watergate journalism holding power to account what they're
00:25:08.280
doing is they're hiring tiktok producers and they've just hired this new tiktok producer and
00:25:13.040
she writes on twitter very excited about her new gig she writes some work news today i start a new
00:25:17.600
adventure as the tiktok producer for cbc news i can't wait to tell stories on the not so little
00:25:22.420
social platform and on the fabulous social team at cbc so we're seeing andrew this new this rise of
00:25:28.880
new journalism fresh out of the journalism schools what are we getting from them well we're getting
00:25:32.820
these hard-hitting holding power to account journalists on tiktok great stuff i'm just so glad
00:25:38.860

00:25:45.120
tiktok producer now the tiktok journalist light global news they are going to start finally holding
00:25:50.140
the government to account i can't wait very excited so you didn't apply for the gig i take it no i didn't
00:25:55.880
apply but i'm i'm i'm kind of jealous i have to say about this i think it will be great it probably
00:26:00.060
pays like 150 000 a year to be like the cbc tiktok producer amazing i don't know i'm just speculating
00:26:07.420
based on government salary all right well all the budding tiktok producers out there go and get your
00:26:12.900
ben and jerry's ice cream and then tweet your nasty things about danielle smith that's how we weave it
