00:00:00.000 Former liberal MP Adam Vaughn claims that a photo from a Pierre Polyev rally was photoshopped,
00:00:06.000 the media blame Will Smith's Oscar slap on intersectionality, Disney tries to sexualize
00:00:11.300 little kids, and the Twitter liberals were flat out lying when they told you about their
00:00:15.940 carbon tax schemes. It's Fake News Friday, I'm Kenneth Malcolm, and this is The Kenneth Malcolm Show.
00:00:30.000 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into our Friday podcast where we focus on the media and how
00:00:36.520 they distort things, how what they are telling you is not true, and today we're going to do a bit of
00:00:41.600 a deeper dive into the culture as well because there's so many interesting cultural things that
00:00:47.540 happened in the past week that we want to talk about. So joining me as usual is my producer Harrison
00:00:52.300 Faulkner. He's a journalist here at True North and a producer on the show. Harrison, thank you for
00:00:56.480 joining us today. Thank you, Candace, happy to be here. Okay, so this is kind of a funny one. We
00:01:02.460 know that Pierre Polyev, he's running for leader of the Conservative Party, and he has been having
00:01:06.740 these rallies that are very well attended. It's interesting, he was on my show last week, he told
00:01:12.180 me about how he was having big crowds at his rallies, and this is becoming true everywhere he goes. There
00:01:18.140 is a huge interest, especially among younger Canadians, interested in what he has to say. But for some people
00:01:24.020 on social media, liberals on social media, they just don't believe him. They see a big crowd, and they
00:01:28.940 instantly think that it must be fake and that it must be photoshopped. So you brought this one to my
00:01:33.320 attention, Harrison, Adam Vaughn. The reason we included this in Fake News Friday, by the way, is
00:01:37.720 because so often the legacy media takes their cues from liberals on Twitter, usually people like Gerald
00:01:42.860 Butts, sometimes people like Adam Vaughn, making these claims, and then lo and behold, a few weeks later,
00:01:47.700 we'll see this storyline coming up in the legacy media. So we wanted to cover this one today. Harrison,
00:01:53.020 why don't you walk us through this story? Yeah, so as you said, Adam Vaughn is sort of one of these
00:01:58.600 useful leftist Twitter personalities for the media now that he's no longer a sitting MP, and he really
00:02:08.020 made a mess of this tweet here. Pierre Pauliev held a rally in London, Ontario. I believe it was a noon
00:02:15.180 rally on a Monday, and it was packed in this place, in this sort of hotel conference room, and it was
00:02:23.880 completely packed to the brim, and no one has really seen this in, I think, mainstream conservative
00:02:28.660 politics at this level for a leadership race. Anyway, Adam Vaughn basically wrote on Twitter that
00:02:36.300 the people in the images of Pierre Pauliev's rally were photoshopped in, and he writes on Twitter,
00:02:42.420 he writes, one of the hardest parts of photoshop is getting the shadows right. They're all in the
00:02:47.960 same room, or are they? He questions. This many shadows from different angles is odd, especially
00:02:55.060 when sunlight outside is backlighting the range of exposures and angles. And then he compares the
00:03:00.980 photo, sorry, to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles album cover. So my first reaction
00:03:08.420 to this, Candace, was that for a liberal like Adam Vaughn, who had never seen a crowd this large,
00:03:13.460 they must have been trying to figure out how this could possibly be the case, how someone could
00:03:17.980 possibly be attracting all these people to hear them speak, because for them, they're not used to
00:03:24.680 that. They're probably used to the range of, what, 20, 25 people? This looks like it's well into the
00:03:30.140 hundreds, Candace. But I want to go through quickly some of the Twitter reactions, and then throw it back to
00:03:36.960 you for your thoughts on this. But our own Andrew Lawton really went after Andrew Vaughn for this.
00:03:43.040 On Twitter, he basically took a photo of a green screen studio and said, wow, Adam Vaughn, look at
00:03:48.620 the size of this crowd out for Pierre Polyev, which I thought was quite funny. And the head of
00:03:56.900 Rebel News, Ezra Levant, basically responded to Adam Vaughn saying, this is a very odd conspiracy.
00:04:04.060 What an odd thing to go down and to try and paint. And obviously, Adam Vaughn was quickly
00:04:11.540 debunked because videos of the event had surfaced. And it was clear that no one was photoshopping
00:04:18.400 anyone. This was just a made up, weird conspiracy from the liberals. And Candace, I think they're
00:04:22.900 panicking a little bit.
00:04:24.540 Well, it's just, yeah, it's sort of a strange accusation, because we all know, like, Photoshop
00:04:29.100 is not that sophisticated. It's really hard to get Photoshop right. And the thought that
00:04:34.100 like some, you know, volunteers on the Pierre Polyev campaign would have the time to go out
00:04:39.640 and put that together. The reality is, when you're in a big ballroom, there's lots of
00:04:43.340 different lighting, right? It depends on where you're standing. And some people are maybe right
00:04:47.340 under a chandelier. And so they'll have more light on their face. Some people might have light
00:04:50.420 from like a side light. And the idea that some liberal is sitting there dissecting this and
00:04:56.580 convincing himself, like, to me, it sort of shows the complete paranoia and almost psychosis of
00:05:02.880 liberals sitting on Twitter, that they that they imagine things, and they're so confident in their
00:05:07.820 imagined perspective that they're willing to put it out there, you know, thinking that they're going
00:05:12.380 to get validated or something like that. Well, yes, this former liberal MP was thoroughly debunked,
00:05:16.900 because he's delusional if he thinks that someone's going to go out and Photoshop. And yes,
00:05:22.720 of course, the reality is that Pierre is quite popular. And I think that that is a real threat
00:05:27.800 for the liberals. He's got a lot of attention, a lot of people very enthusiastic about his campaigns,
00:05:33.840 people are showing up. And if I were a liberal, I would be I would be worried, too. I don't know if
00:05:37.620 I would go to the extent of trying to create a conspiracy theory to try to discredit them.
00:05:42.020 There's probably better ways to do that than to pretend that some backroom operative is sitting
00:05:47.120 there like copying and pasting people and putting them in an image. There's a, you know, much better
00:05:53.800 ways to spend your time and energy as a conservative operative than that. But but I think you're right.
00:05:58.880 I think it shows a broader threat to the liberals to Justin Trudeau's time in office and his time as
00:06:05.380 prime minister. And if Polyev can keep up the momentum, and if the conservatives, you know, can
00:06:11.300 continue to stay on track with with hammering liberals and their weakness, I think that this all poses a
00:06:16.140 very real threat for Justin Trudeau. Okay, Harrison, I really want to talk about the Oscars, because it
00:06:21.820 sort of dominated the news cycle this week. And there has been a sort of a lot of iterations on
00:06:26.520 this, on this on this slap, this this big moment from the Oscars. It's interesting, because I think
00:06:32.000 when I was growing up, like in the 90s and 2000s, the Oscars were a relevant cultural institution,
00:06:37.540 the films that would be nominated were films that everyone would have seen. You know, there were Oscar
00:06:42.860 viewing parties where people would go and they would watch all the movies that were nominated.
00:06:46.140 For best picture. And then, and then, and then, you know, you'd watch the Oscars itself and find
00:06:50.760 out who won. The last few years, I can't say that I've even heard of any of this of the films that
00:06:56.160 were nominated, they've really gone down a woke intersectional path focused on the most obscure,
00:07:01.680 sort of anti American films, films that no one's seen films that don't really resonate with the
00:07:06.780 public. And so because of that, that you know, these are kind of award shows where you just see
00:07:11.900 very arrogant, elite, Hollywood stars basically, lecturing the public talking about how their
00:07:18.480 morals are superior, even though their morals are so off base, so so so removed from where the sort
00:07:24.440 of typical everyday North American is in terms of their values and their culture. There's just this
00:07:30.520 dichotomy that's happening, where where people are just tuning out, no, no one's watching the Oscars,
00:07:35.380 no one pays attention. I saw clips here and there. And it was just so cringy and so embarrassingly bad.
00:07:41.740 You know, they're like, obsessed with this Florida bill, which we're going to talk about a little
00:07:45.480 later in the show, that they call the don't say gay bill. Really, it's just a bill protecting very
00:07:51.340 small children from being indoctrinated with a very radical sexual ideology. Anyway, the Oscars are just
00:07:59.620 so irrelevant. This year, though, something different happened. Everyone knows I'm talking
00:08:03.880 about. There's this crazy scene where Chris Rock was out there making a pretty tame, mild joke about
00:08:09.700 Jada Pinkett Smith with her with her haircut, apparently didn't know that she suffered from
00:08:13.660 alopecia, which makes her hair fall out. So Jada Pinkett has her hair very short. He made a very tame
00:08:19.800 joke about it. I didn't see anything wrong with the joke. In fact, when they first cut to Will Smith
00:08:25.600 after the joke, he was laughing. He was laughing at the joke, right? And then all of a sudden,
00:08:30.520 you know, you see Jada Pinkett Smith's face, she gets angry, and Will Smith just like loses it in a
00:08:36.740 very, very shocking way, right? This idea that someone tells a joke about your wife that you
00:08:41.600 don't like, and you go up and hit them. It almost seems staged. I don't know. When I see it, it's like,
00:08:46.260 how did this even happen? I know some people felt that way, too. It seemed surreal, because it was
00:08:51.900 just so bizarre. But it sort of goes with this leftist idea that words are violent. And so words
00:08:58.480 that are hurtful are violent. And therefore, you can respond to words that you don't like with real
00:09:02.960 violence. And then that's sort of where we have come as a culture. So there's just so much about
00:09:07.980 this scene and what happened here. It's so much evident of where we are as a society, where we are
00:09:16.200 as a culture. What did you think about this moment at the Oscars? For me, there's two things about this
00:09:22.680 that I think need to be addressed. The first is that every time I see it, it just looks fake. I
00:09:27.440 don't really understand how this actually occurred. It's two actors that might be part of it at an event
00:09:33.580 that nobody is watching at an event in which they are desperate for attention and relevance. Because
00:09:39.260 frankly, people are sick of hearing political diatribes every time someone wins an award.
00:09:45.240 And every time some fake comedian or has been goes up on the stage to try and make jokes,
00:09:52.000 which inevitably end up just being, you know, liberal, lame liberal talking points. But the CBC,
00:09:59.120 of course, never missing an opportunity, Candace, to jump on a cultural issue to push their agenda.
00:10:04.960 The CBC wanted to make sure that this incident actually was looked at through the lens of,
00:10:10.380 of course, some sort of racial intersectional lens or whatever. So I want to just quickly go over
00:10:15.960 the points of this article because it's insane. The CBC writes that the Oscars incident raises
00:10:20.520 questions about bad male behavior, says black community advocate. And it claims that Smith's
00:10:26.600 slap on rock runs the risk of inspiring racist tropes when it should raise questions about toxicity.
00:10:32.380 So we're going back to the old toxic, toxic masculine behavior or whatever they want to try and bring
00:10:39.080 back up. And then the article writes, conversation should be directed toward directed more toward toxic
00:10:44.580 male behavior. Tolu Iliboye, an advocate within Winnipeg's black community said the episode raises
00:10:51.520 questions about the acceptable limits of insult, comedy, celebrity privilege, and the propensity of men
00:10:57.420 to use violence. And then just for good measure, Candace, at the end, of course, they write that
00:11:03.060 comedians need to be more sensitive in their jokes because that's really what the problem is here,
00:11:07.620 that comedians are being too harsh. The article writes, Winnipeg comedian Emmanuel Lamuro said the
00:11:14.460 incident should also make comics err on the side of caution if they're ever tempted to punch down
00:11:19.380 at people. So there you go. I guess that's the standard they want to set. But really, Candace,
00:11:24.040 no one is watching this stuff. No one cares about the Oscars anymore. And I think they're just so
00:11:29.140 desperate for attention. And it's kind of obvious to see why. I mean, the wokeness has reached a whole
00:11:34.900 new level with these people. It's I think it's it's turning people off for all for all the right
00:11:39.740 reasons. Well, it's one of those things, too, that that the kind of idea of the Oscars has become
00:11:45.500 like a parody of itself. And so they get a host that comes up and sort of gently pokes fun at all these
00:11:50.500 very privileged, very elite people in the room. And we saw it throughout throughout. I know that
00:11:55.380 there was jokes about several other people. And that's typically what they do. They just go around
00:11:59.220 the room and kind of make very light, gentle jokes that like whether it's Kim Kardashian or
00:12:04.080 or Leonardo DiCaprio. And and it's kind of like, you know, if you're going to be a high profile
00:12:09.180 celebrity, you have to be a little bit self deprecating and recognize your extreme privilege so
00:12:14.140 that you can kind of take a joke. Right. And so the idea that that, you know, Will Smith couldn't
00:12:20.020 handle this joke. Well, again, I emphasize the point that he laughed at first and then it was
00:12:24.340 his wife that really couldn't handle it. She didn't like it at all. And so, you know, she gave
00:12:29.080 she gave her husband a look and then all of a sudden he went up there and really, really overreacted.
00:12:33.940 I will point out that, like, I don't know exactly how much longer, but later in the evening, I think
00:12:39.560 it was like very shortly thereafter, like 20 minutes later, Will Smith won an Oscar and he received
00:12:44.800 a standing ovation. Right. So so so the people in the room didn't even see anything wrong with his
00:12:50.300 behavior. They didn't punish him in any way. He was out at an after party later that evening,
00:12:54.540 dancing and partying. And you told me he was singing his own rap song song after winning an
00:13:01.560 Oscar. I mean, he clearly had he clearly had no sense of regret or remorse. Right. He was he was on
00:13:08.080 cloud nine. And so, again, yeah, this is this is this is where we are as a culture. We can't take
00:13:13.440 jokes. We can't even joke about things anymore. And and everything boils down to intersectionality
00:13:20.180 and toxic masculinity. I mean, they got the guy was defending his wife who was upset. He
00:13:25.120 wasn't upset. His wife was upset. So I'm not quite sure how you get get to toxic masculinity
00:13:30.440 from there. And anything about how this had a racial element is so absurd, Harrison, because
00:13:36.640 Chris Rock and Will Smith come from the same sociocultural background. They're both about the
00:13:42.740 same age. They're the same race. They have the same background. They're the same status. They're
00:13:46.720 equally as famous. Like trying to put the race element on here just just doesn't really work.
00:13:51.840 But again, it shows you how obsessed our culture is with things like race and privilege and the
00:13:57.980 whole woke mindset. And again, I think that's why so many people are just tuning out like we would
00:14:02.900 not be talking about the Oscars today had it not been for the fact that that Will Smith slapped
00:14:07.840 Chris Rock. Otherwise, this is just totally culturally irrelevant. Well, one of the one of
00:14:13.520 the other themes that I did notice at the at the Oscars was just this obsession about this Florida
00:14:18.740 bill. So I want to talk a little bit about this today to Harrison is such a such a an interesting
00:14:24.200 just a complete difference between how a conservative government in Florida is governing when it comes to
00:14:31.380 children's education with Rhonda Santos in Florida passing this bill called the parental rights and
00:14:36.760 education bill, which the media erroneously call the don't say gay bill, even though the bill isn't
00:14:41.820 about gay per se doesn't even have the word gay in it. It's more about parental rights in protecting
00:14:48.000 little kids. We're talking about children aged kindergarten to grade two, I believe, or grade
00:14:52.960 three. So so like five to eight year olds in primary school. Compare that to what's happening here in
00:14:59.640 Ontario, Harrison, where we also have a conservative government with Doug Ford, and they are pushing a
00:15:05.580 totally opposite bill, bill 67, focused on inserting CRT and critical race theory and race, racist
00:15:13.920 division into our schools. So it's kind of a sad picture that that conservatives in our country don't
00:15:21.100 stand up to the woke indoctrination in education, whereas in Florida they do. But anyway, Rhonda Santos, the
00:15:28.980 culture, the media, the Hollywood elites, basically everyone in the media, his is really taking his
00:15:37.060 bill out of context and saying that it's doing something that it isn't trying to make it seem like
00:15:40.300 it's bigoted or homophobic or it's going to suppress gay children. You know, we're not we're not talking about
00:15:47.120 teenagers here. We're talking about very little kids. And and yet there's still this this total
00:15:52.760 obsession with opposing this bill. What do you what do you make of all this, Harrison? Well, the left's
00:15:58.120 reaction to the entire bill, in my opinion, has been a clear example of the left protesting too much,
00:16:06.540 making it they're really, really fighting this. And anyone who actually knows what's in the bill
00:16:11.420 knows exactly, as you said, Candace, that this is about not not forcing sexual leftist indoctrination
00:16:19.240 onto kindergarten to grade three students. Anyone who is promoting that, I think, has serious issues.
00:16:26.760 But the the idea that this needs to be fought, as a leftist trying to do as companies like Disney are
00:16:32.100 trying to do is very bizarre. It's one of those examples of, you know, why are you why are you
00:16:36.980 protesting this so much? What is what is what is with it that that really makes you want to push
00:16:42.740 this stuff on to young kids? And I think people need to look into that. And as you said, Candace,
00:16:47.240 the the contrast between the way that the way that some conservative governors, some Republican
00:16:54.200 governors, because not all Republican governors in the U.S. are are taking the fight to the to the
00:17:00.120 radical left as much as Governor DeSantis is. But the way that someone like Governor DeSantis is handling
00:17:06.080 these these radical leftist bills and attempts to, you know, change his state compared to the way that
00:17:13.100 we're getting the way that a super majority PC government in Ontario is doing, it's it's it's
00:17:19.400 unfortunate because, as I said to you yesterday, in one of our meetings, we, you know, Governor DeSantis
00:17:26.180 is providing a roadmap for conservative premiers in the country as to as to how to handle these
00:17:32.520 attempts by the radical left. So we're getting in Canada, we're basically we're learning what are what
00:17:37.700 the what the opponent is trying to do. And we're seeing exactly how we should combat this sort of
00:17:44.220 thing. And I hope that that these are, you know, that notes are being taken, and that something is
00:17:50.080 going to be done about this in Ontario, because if it's happening in Florida, this is exactly what's
00:17:55.000 going to happen in Canada eventually. And so it's it's just disappointing to see that we don't have
00:18:00.180 the same quality of leadership. But as I was saying before, Candace, the left is really,
00:18:05.580 really pushing back on on this Florida bill. And there were some incredible clips that were
00:18:11.800 released by Christopher Rufo, who has really kind of made his mark in documenting the CRT,
00:18:18.140 critical race theory world in the radical left and and and kind of showing the world what these
00:18:22.780 people are saying. And so I want to get into these two Disney executive board meeting clips, because
00:18:28.140 they're really, really insane. So the first clip is from the corporate president, Kerry Burke,
00:18:33.800 who talks about how her as a mother of trans kids, and of a pansexual kid, she really wants to see
00:18:42.860 more more engagement from more LGBTQ characters in Disney stories. So let's watch this clip and get
00:18:51.140 your reaction to it. I'm here as a mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child
00:18:59.800 and one pansexual child, and and and also as a leader. And that was the thing that really got me
00:19:08.960 because I have heard so much from so many of my colleagues over the course of the last couple weeks
00:19:14.380 and open forums and through emails and phone conversations. And
00:19:19.320 I feel a responsibility to speak not just for myself, but for them. How brave to all of us. We had a we had an
00:19:28.980 open forum last week at 20th, where, again, the home of really incredible groundbreaking LGBTQIA
00:19:37.320 stories over the years where one of our execs stood up and said, you know, we only have a handful of queer
00:19:44.960 leads in our content. And I went, what? That can't be true. And I and I and I realized, oh, it actually
00:19:53.200 is true. We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories. And, and, and yet we don't have enough
00:20:02.960 leads.
00:20:05.500 So Candace, what are your thoughts on that? I mean, that's just what can you possibly say about that?
00:20:11.040 Well, like, there's, there's so much to unpack there, right? So so so the idea that that that
00:20:15.420 all of these people are so adamantly opposed to Rhonda Santos's bill, because they want,
00:20:19.760 they want sexual indoctrination of little kids, like not, not, not, not, not kids that are like
00:20:23.880 about to hit puberty or post puberty when when like, they need to start being educated on sexuality.
00:20:29.580 But we're talking about little, little kids. And that's the purpose of Disney. Like I have two
00:20:34.700 little kids, one year old and a three year old, I took them to Disney World last year. And the purpose
00:20:39.380 is to enjoy like the magic of childhood and imagination, not be indoctrinated with this
00:20:46.360 ideology, Harrison. And even like what she's talking about, I had to, I had to Google pansexual. I
00:20:51.160 don't, I've never heard. I don't know what that means. I don't understand how you can have a child
00:20:54.820 that's pansexual. I legitimately don't understand what the difference between pansexual, which as I
00:21:00.160 learned from Googling is just someone who's not restrained by sexuality. And there may be attracted
00:21:04.540 to all kinds of different types of people. It sounds like maybe someone that's bisexual to me,
00:21:10.060 but regardless, you know, we have this new proliferation of all of these different sexual
00:21:14.240 identities, this ideology that is, is being promoted by these people. Why would you have to have 50% of
00:21:21.900 your characters identifying as this long, like laundry list of, of different sexual orientations?
00:21:28.240 Again, we're talking about little kids. We're not, we're not talking about teenagers. We're not
00:21:31.940 talking about adults. We're talking about little small children who don't need to be taught at all
00:21:37.420 about sexuality. So the fact that this is a priority from Disney to me, I think that the left
00:21:43.220 is really just jumping the shark on all of this. Like they're so out of touch with the everyday person
00:21:48.720 with the everyday parent. And they think that like they're encouraging each other, that this is like
00:21:53.600 a winning issue for them. And they need to just like keep marching forward. I don't think they're
00:21:57.120 realizing Harrison, how much they're galvanizing normal parents and everyday parents
00:22:01.420 against them. Because again, like I have little kids, I'm not going to just let them turn on Disney.
00:22:07.800 I mean, I don't think I would have in the first place, but the idea that a lot of parents just put
00:22:12.440 their kids in front of, you know, they turn on the TV and, and, and let them watch Disney. That's how I
00:22:17.820 grew up watching Disney movies. And you know, the idea that, that we would just like let our little kids
00:22:24.000 watch a station or a network where the president, the corporate president talks like this. It's,
00:22:30.740 it's, it's really wild.
00:22:32.100 Yeah. The corporate president who has pan, a pansexual child and a transgender child. That's
00:22:38.280 the way she describes him. I think, I think that is basically all the evidence you need to know about
00:22:42.760 where this company is headed and what they're doing. And it gets even, it gets even crazier,
00:22:46.780 Candace. So, uh, that this same journalist who found that, found that original clip also found a clip
00:22:52.500 from an executive producer. And I'm not even going to explain it. I'm just going to play it in full.
00:22:56.660 So, so we can react to it. It's, it's unbelievable. This is the executive producer of Disney. Her name
00:23:01.360 is Latoya Raveno. And this is what she had to say in her board meeting. It's like, I love Disney's
00:23:07.480 content. I grew up watching, you know, all of the classics. They have been a huge, like informative
00:23:12.360 part of my life. But at the same time, like I worked at small studios, most of my career and I'd heard,
00:23:17.400 you know, hear whispers. Like I'd heard things like, Oh, you know, they won't let you show this at a
00:23:22.220 Disney show. And I'm like, okay. So I was a little like sus when I started. But then my experience
00:23:28.540 was bafflingly the opposite of what I had heard on my little pocket of like, you know,
00:23:35.480 proud family, Disney TVA. Um, the showrunners were super welcoming, Meredith Roberts. And like the,
00:23:41.700 our leadership over there has been so welcoming to like my, like not at all secret gay agenda.
00:23:48.360 And so like, I, I feel like I felt like it was, I mean, like maybe it was that way in the past,
00:23:55.240 but I guess like something must have happened in the last, like, like they were turning it around,
00:24:00.100 they're going hard. And then all that like momentum that I felt like that sense of, I don't have to
00:24:06.620 be afraid to like, let's have these two characters kiss. Let's in the background. Like I was just
00:24:12.100 wherever I could just basically adding queerness to like, if you see anything queer, but like,
00:24:19.680 I just was like, no one would stop me. So no one was trying to stop her Candace when she was just
00:24:24.860 trying to add queerness in every aspect of Disney. And there it is. She admits it, her not at all
00:24:31.120 secret gay agenda. So why any parent would subject their kids to modern Disney, a modern Disney movie,
00:24:38.380 when these people admit to you, what they're doing, uh, is beyond me.
00:24:43.640 I, I, I completely agree. It's like, she's so giddy and so excited about inserting her sexual
00:24:49.060 ideology into programming meant for small children meant for little kids who are, you know, the, the,
00:24:54.400 again, the purpose of these Disney films, the purpose of, of all of this entertainment is just,
00:24:59.000 you know, the magic of childhood and, and being innocent and, and discovering. And the idea that
00:25:05.360 they're trying to essentially brainwash or insert their ideology, adding queerness, adding gay
00:25:11.580 kisses, like I, the, the, the, the idea that they think that this is their role, this is what they
00:25:17.040 think that parents want from them, or the parents are going to be continuously willing to accept is,
00:25:23.100 is pretty wild. I wanted to bring up this, this poll, Harrison, because it's really interesting.
00:25:27.040 This is Gallup did comprehensive polls as Americans, not Canadians, but I'm sure that there is
00:25:30.800 something similar. I'm sure the numbers are almost identical, but you can go through the
00:25:34.440 generations and look at the proliferation of people who identify as LGBT, right? So you look back at
00:25:40.600 like my parents' generation, baby boomers, 2.6%, uh, of people born between 1946 and 1964 identify
00:25:47.740 as a, uh, as being LGBT, uh, Gen X, 1965 to 1980, 4.2%. So we're steadily doubling with every generation.
00:25:57.320 Millennials, my generation born between 1981 and 1996, 10% identify as being LGBT.
00:26:04.440 And then your generation, Harrison, uh, I don't, I don't know what happened, but Gen Z, those born
00:26:09.960 between 97 and 2003, 20%. So one in five people in your age group identify as being LGBT. So, so,
00:26:17.740 so all of this is just to say that this idea of, of sexuality, um, and, and, you know, how you
00:26:23.800 identify, it's, it's being heavily pushed on people and, and it's working, you know, this,
00:26:29.380 this not so secret gay agenda is working in making people identify more and more as LGBT,
00:26:36.280 as gay, they're pushing queerness and, and it's having a real impact on the way that people live
00:26:43.040 their lives. Those are staggering numbers just in, you know, the lifetime of people alive today,
00:26:47.880 how, how much that has grown and how popular it is. So, you know, sometimes we talk about how,
00:26:54.660 you know, all of this cultural push to, to, to insert these kinds of views in little kids,
00:27:02.060 um, it must be turning off parents. They, they, there's no way that they can possibly be winning
00:27:07.120 this cultural war, but then you look at those numbers and it's pretty clear that they, that
00:27:10.560 they are, they, they are encouraging so many people, um, to, to, to live in a lifestyle that's
00:27:17.080 very, very alternative. And it's not just happening in the U S I mean, we found this example
00:27:22.520 of drag kids from CBC. Uh, they, they put out a documentary of small little kids who participate
00:27:29.560 in these drag shows. We're talking about kids aged nine to 11 who go out and, and, you know,
00:27:36.160 very, very, very sexualized, um, performing as, as again, little kids. This is the kind of thing
00:27:42.520 that we used to protect children from the Canadian media were all over, you know, promoting it and
00:27:48.280 defending it. We had stories in the global mail stories at CBC CTV, uh, talking about how important
00:27:56.200 this is and how it's not inherently sexual and that the people who oppose it are basically just,
00:28:02.200 um, bigots. So, so this whole idea that, that, that children, it's like fair game to sexualize
00:28:07.280 them. It's fair game to indoctrinate them with an ideology. And, you know, this, this is where we
00:28:12.400 are as a culture. I, it's, it's, it's, it's so disturbing, uh, for, for me as a parent and,
00:28:17.940 you know, it's, it's so prominent. It's great to see people in Florida, people like Rhonda
00:28:22.800 Santos conservatives starting to push back. I, I hope that there is more pushback against
00:28:26.440 this kind of stuff in Canada as well. Okay. Harrison, I want to shift back to Canadian politics
00:28:31.940 for a minute here, because there's a pretty big news story that most media outlets just
00:28:36.700 completely glossed over. So the parliamentary budget officer, uh, put out a report saying
00:28:42.800 that despite what the liberal government had claimed, despite what Trudeau said over and
00:28:46.620 over and over again, during the 2021 election, most households will see a net loss as a result
00:28:52.900 of the carbon tax and the carbon tax rebate. So we heard Justin Trudeau say throughout the
00:28:57.580 campaign over and over again, that the carbon tax will not hurt families, will not hurt the
00:29:01.460 middle class, and that most people will be better off because they are getting a rebate,
00:29:05.760 a rebate. Uh, Catherine McKenna, who is a former liberal environment minister said that eight
00:29:10.780 out of 10 households will be better off because of the carbon tax, because they were giving this
00:29:15.460 rebate. Well, that is not true. That is not true at all. The parliamentary budget officer,
00:29:20.220 you can't have a more official, uh, refute than that. Uh, they said that, no, this is not true.
00:29:26.840 Uh, Trudeau is lying during the election. Most Canadians will pay more as a result of the carbon tax.
00:29:31.920 You know, it's so interesting, Harrison, because I know we talked about this during the election,
00:29:34.860 but when it comes to the media and the role that they play in Canadian politics,
00:29:38.380 they focus so heavily on fact checking and holding the opposition to account. Anything a conservative
00:29:44.420 says they will fact check, they will dig in, they will try to like find some small little point that's
00:29:49.880 off to, to make it seem like they are not being honest. When it comes to the liberals claims though,
00:29:53.780 they basically take them at face value. They don't, they don't scrutinize them. They don't make them
00:29:58.060 explain them. And then here we have six months later, it turns out that what they were saying was
00:30:01.960 completely false and you barely even hear about it in the legacy media. It's such a double standard.
00:30:06.900 It's such a failure to hold to account the powerful people in our society. I know we've had
00:30:12.860 this conversation before. Um, but what, what do you make of the fact that the liberals just
00:30:17.400 completely, uh, they don't have the same kind of accountability in the media as, as the other
00:30:22.320 political parties? No, you're exactly right. We've seen this so often. This is the way it goes.
00:30:27.140 The liberals will make a promise. They'll make a promise that is obviously a pie in the sky
00:30:32.440 thinking, but it sounds good. And it makes for good headlines for the media, which they pay off.
00:30:37.400 Then once, you know, X amount of months play out, then the actual people who know what's going on,
00:30:43.120 the parliamentary budget officer, or in another example, for another example, the ethics commissioner,
00:30:48.480 right? Then they come in, refute the liberal claims, prove to people that what the liberals are
00:30:54.420 telling you is not actually true. You're not going to actually get money back from this carbon tax
00:30:59.760 scheme. All that's going to happen is just going to be a net loss for you and a net loss for the
00:31:04.100 Canadian economy. But once those reports come out, people, the majority of Canadian, the Canadian
00:31:09.820 population aren't, aren't checking the, aren't checking the parliamentary budget officer's report.
00:31:15.160 So the media knows this as long as they don't cover the, the actual, you know, the facts after,
00:31:20.760 uh, the claim has been made, then it doesn't matter because it, it, it works out for the liberals.
00:31:25.180 So the media gets what they want. The liberals get what they want. And as you said, Candace,
00:31:29.800 the opposition is held to a, uh, far, uh, harsher standard. And that's just a constant that I think
00:31:36.700 politicians in this country and Canadians should come to realize that the, the, the cards are stacked
00:31:42.440 against the conservatives and the opposition in this country. And those that, those that pay up for
00:31:47.800 the media, shockingly get better headlines and get better coverage.
00:31:52.260 Yeah. Yeah. It's almost, it's almost like the Trudeau government pays the media. Oh wait,
00:31:55.660 they do. They do. Well, Harris is April 1st. So, um, none of this has been an April Fool's day joke.
00:32:00.700 It's all, it's all very real, sadly. Uh, one, one, one other thing that is real, that is as of today,
00:32:05.100 the federal carbon tax will go up. So there is a 25% increase in the federal carbon tax, uh, going up a
00:32:12.180 total of $50 per ton of emissions. So you're expect to pay about two more cents, uh, at the pumps,
00:32:18.800 uh, per liter, uh, of gas. Also, uh, the, the members of parliament MPs will give themselves a
00:32:26.000 pay raise, uh, as of today, because you know, we've got what, uh, hundreds and hundreds of billions
00:32:31.100 of dollars in debt and deficit. And here we have politicians giving themselves a raise. Why not?
00:32:36.400 Um, that's, that's sort of the magical world of budgets will balance themselves. Um, Justin
00:32:42.420 Trudeau's fiscal policy. Uh, well, he doesn't, he doesn't think of a monetary policy. Remember he
00:32:46.440 told us that during the election as well. So Canada's finances are a complete and total mess
00:32:50.840 and they are just going to get worse. Uh, the, the, the pocketbook issues, uh, people are going to
00:32:55.440 start paying more for everything. And it's, it's one of the things just to, to go full circle is why,
00:33:01.460 uh, so many people are showing up to conservative rallies. So many people are,
00:33:05.560 you know, excited and enthusiastic about someone like Pierre Polyev, who is really talking about
00:33:10.240 this stuff and, and bringing it to the forefront of the national conversation. It's because Canadians
00:33:16.180 are sick and tired of the amount of money that they're paying. And again, as of today,
00:33:21.020 they're paying even more. So Harrison, thank you so much for joining us here on fake news Friday.
00:33:25.820 It's always a fun to have you on the show. Thanks for joining us.
00:33:28.700 Happy to be here, Candace. Thank you.
00:33:30.760 All right. That's Harrison Faulkner, true-north journalist. I'm Candace Malcolm,
00:33:33.520 and this is the Candace Malcolm Show.
00:33:35.560 Thank you.
