On this day 18 years ago, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing about 3,000 people. This episode will be like a dedication to them, plus election cold feet, part 2, Justin Trudeau and his infant wisdom not showing up to the debates, and of course, the RCMP not being able to investigate the SNC-Lavalin incident. All that and more coming up on the Krusty Connect Podcast. Stay tuned.
00:00:00.920Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. It is September 11th, 2019, 18 years after that fateful correction accident that happened to our American neighbors.
00:00:11.000Yes, the 9-11 incident, two planes going into big buildings, killing about 3,000 plus people.
00:00:16.440This episode will be like a dedication memorial to them, plus election cold feet part two,
00:00:21.340Justin Trudeau and his infant wisdom not showing up to the debates,
00:00:24.180and of course, the RCMP not being able to investigate the SNC-Lavalin incident.
00:00:29.200And some honorable mentions. All that and more coming up on the Krusty Connect podcast. Stay tuned.
00:01:00.120Greetings, all. I'm your host, Krusty Connect, and this is the September 11th edition of the Krusty Connect podcast.
00:01:06.600So, before I begin, let's just reflect a few moments or two on those lost in 9-11.
00:01:15.500I ask you to remember where you were at the time.
00:01:22.700Where were you when that moment happened?
00:01:24.520It's one of those fateful moments in history that you remember where you were and what you were doing.
00:01:29.060I myself, I was out in the field with members of Duke's Company and 1RCR.
00:01:32.940We were out practicing for summer, not summer, early fall maneuvers, just doing some recce exercises, map and compass, reading the ground, all that good stuff.
00:01:43.040And we heard the news via our Sergeant Major.
00:01:46.900He'd come out and says, hey, troops, this is what's going on.
00:01:49.680Oh, you know, World Trade Center has been attacked.
00:01:52.920Stand by. And we're like, yeah, okay, whatever.
00:01:54.840And about 10 minutes later, we all get the call to head back to Garrison, prep our kit, and get ready to hurry up and wait.
00:02:24.840Regardless of what your point of view is on politics at the time, what was going on in the world, whether it be Iraq or Iran or in Africa or in the Balkans or in other hotspots in the world, that was just a low blow to everybody.
00:02:43.240You know, a lot of good people lost their lives.
00:02:47.980And a lot of people stepped up to help those individuals.
00:02:50.740I think something about 343 firefighters were lost in New York City, about a dozen paramedics and some police officers, and the actual casualties that were locked and lost in the building.
00:03:03.100Some who actually flung to their deaths and some who went with the toppling.
00:03:09.440Sad day in the world, ladies and gentlemen, regardless of how you feel about politics.
00:03:12.920We've got to reflect on moments like that, you know, one of our devastating moments in our lifetime, you know.
00:03:20.940To the individuals that were born after that, let's hope to God you don't have to see anything like that in your life.
00:03:27.940All the more reasons to fight for democracy and fight for freedom.
00:03:30.720It doesn't matter what spectrum you're on, whether you're on the left side of things, the right side of things, or down center, or you just want to vote and be left alone.
00:03:39.400You know, situations like that that make you realize that we're lucky to live where we live and to do what we do, regardless of race, color, or creed.
00:03:48.440So, I've got to ask you guys in your own time, take a minute, think about those who lost their lives, regardless of what your personal point of view is towards capitalism or not.
00:04:02.840I think capitalism is great, and I think it's wonderful.
00:04:05.760It's one of the reasons why I'm here, because, you know, I wouldn't mind making some money at this.
00:04:09.360But besides that, I'm not using that day or this day as a day to earn some quick cash.
00:04:14.260I want to get the word out and let people know that I haven't forgotten about 9-11, and nor should you.
00:04:21.500I haven't forgotten about those people that died.
00:04:23.740I haven't forgotten about those pictures of people flinging themselves out the windows.
00:04:29.640And to the conspiracy theorists out there who say this didn't happen or that didn't happen,
00:04:34.620well, nonetheless, there are 3,500 people that aren't with us today because of that.
00:04:39.620Not to mention the ideologues that have gone behind the Pentagon pictures and everything who have said things
00:04:49.040and some of the planes that went missing, but I'm not worried about that right now.
00:04:54.460I'm looking at September 11th as a day of remembrance and reflecting on how lucky we are in Canada
00:05:02.200and how lucky some of our friends are in the States and any working democracy in this planet.
00:07:32.380So let's remember that, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:34.100Let's remember how vulnerable sometimes we can be and how suggestive and how overwhelming some powers it can be.
00:07:42.940You know, I guess you can say the good people down south were caught with their pants down for something or whatever conspiracy, but regardless of what you believe in.
00:07:56.400You know, it just reminds us how, sometimes how fragile we can be and how immortal we are.
00:08:07.000It also reminds us what's good about both of our nations and what we can do together and what we can do to honor and respect our fallen, regardless of whatever conflict or situation.
00:08:19.940And, you know, special hats off out there to the people of Newfoundland that assisted those flights, that helped some of those American passengers get along during the catastrophe.
00:08:35.120And a special mention to everybody else on the east coast of Canada right now who's encouraged or who's encountered the Hurricane Dorian, please, if there's anything you need, someone get a hold of me.
00:08:51.880I don't mind sending blankets or extra kit or anything down that way, so please give me a shout.
00:08:56.620You can reach me here at Krusty Canuck.
00:08:58.400Best way to get reaching me here is through www.krustycanuck.ca.
00:09:06.380But as I mentioned in the opening sequence, 9-11 in memoriam.
00:09:13.280God bless, Godspeed to those survivors.
00:09:20.260And let that be an example of how easy our governments can be thwarted and influenced.
00:09:30.980And what really annoys me about today is that I didn't see our beloved leader, Mr. Sockboy, Mr. Potato, Mr. Justin Trudeau, had nothing to say, you know?
00:09:48.040Mind you, he's not really known for his public speaking.
00:09:50.140He's known for his public puppet work, besides that.
00:16:35.520You say stupid things, climate Barbie.
00:16:37.420Miss McKenna, what do you expect to be done?
00:16:39.860You're supposed to be the minister of the environment, and you're worried about fucking taxes.
00:16:42.960And I've said this in my last video, too, ladies and gentlemen, so this is nothing new here.
00:16:46.200So, I just, this election, you know, this election is just, I think it's really important, you know?
00:16:54.300Every election is important, but I think this one is very important because it's going to direct us, hopefully, into something better than what we have, you know?
00:17:06.580Where we can actually have a little more dignity and pride and respect for ourselves and really enjoy our lives without worrying about a fucking carbon tax and worry about hurt feelings and worry about someone's identity.
00:17:19.600When we start working as a country again and worrying about our country's identity and reflecting on the people that have sacrificed for this country and the people that have given a shit, who've laid down their lives for this country.
00:17:52.880Why aren't you out there waving the flag?
00:17:56.860I'm not going to mention your name, Buckeye, but I will fucking tell you, if you don't have the fucking balls to do it, don't you demand that I do it either.
00:20:41.020I will meet somebody halfway, pick up whatever parcel or sort of arrangement somebody needs, and I will drive it and deliver it myself to whatever veteran is in need.
00:20:51.860So not only am I helping to raise that money, but I'm volunteering some of my time there, too, just to prove my legitimacy while I'm doing this podcast and also supplement my income as well, too.
00:21:03.380So if you feel like giving to the Veterans Food Bank directly, you can go right ahead.
00:21:09.260I'll leave a link at the bottom of the podcast here where you can go directly and give a donation.
00:21:13.200$25 or more gets you a tax receipt, which is a good thing.
00:21:17.280Or if you want to give to me directly, 30% of everything that I receive via donations and or merchandise, 30% of every sale and donation will go to the Calgary Veterans Association Food Bank.
