00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.
00:00:02.820 It was another absolutely crazy day at the British Columbia Legislature yesterday,
00:00:08.540 with 1BC putting forward another bill and putting another question towards the government
00:00:13.120 and causing an absolute meltdown.
00:00:16.160 In fact, the Premier of the province, David Eby, had a meltdown himself
00:00:20.800 when answering the question from 1BC House Leader Tara Armstrong.
00:00:25.260 But let's take it from the top and go over some of the stuff that ended up happening.
00:00:30.420 I can't show you all the footage because we would be here for probably like 40 minutes,
00:00:34.400 but it was quite great and I'm going to at least show you some highlights.
00:00:38.620 Before we get into it, I just want to remind you guys that if you live in British Columbia,
00:00:43.460 consider joining the 1BC party or donating to it.
00:00:46.680 I'm going to have links to do those things in the description below as well as pinned at the top of the comments.
00:00:51.680 If you want a party that actually opposes the NDP and actually represents what average people think,
00:00:57.560 join 1BC because it is absolutely insane how little would actually happen at the legislature day-to-day
00:01:04.340 if it was only up to the Conservatives and the Greens to oppose the NDP government.
00:01:09.700 Like, the Conservatives waste their time sitting through committee meetings and saying,
00:01:14.140 well, why don't we move that comma from here over to there?
00:01:17.040 You know, it's a bad bill, but how about we discuss the details of the bad bill and then we're going to vote against it anyways?
00:01:23.040 It's such a waste of time.
00:01:24.620 You get these policy wonks inside the BC Conservatives who think if we just talk enough about the policy,
00:01:30.620 eventually it will be good.
00:01:31.840 It's not going to get good, guys. 0.99
00:01:33.520 The BC NDP policy universally sucks. 0.93
00:01:35.720 And you're wasting time asking them the same questions over and over again in question period 0.98
00:01:41.100 and making just the same speeches day after day about the exact same bills we already know are bad.
00:01:48.440 But anyways, let's get into it first with the bill that 1BC leader Dallas Brody proposed yesterday,
00:01:55.160 which was to repeal the Truth and Reconciliation Day as a holiday in British Columbia.
00:02:01.820 Because, of course, it should be repealed.
00:02:03.960 I will let Dallas Brody herself give the speech justifying why we should get rid of TRC Day. 1.00
00:02:10.600 Mr. Speaker, our bill will remove Truth and Reconciliation Day as a holiday in British Columbia.
00:02:17.220 Why?
00:02:18.180 Because it doesn't deserve to be one.
00:02:21.100 This day celebrates the greatest lie in Canadian history,
00:02:25.080 the lie that 215 bodies were found at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
00:02:29.760 But the truth is, Canadians never have committed a genocide.
00:02:35.060 This holiday seeks to shame Canadians for building a civilization, 0.98
00:02:41.220 for building Canada instead of leaving this land as an untamed wilderness.
00:02:45.200 The idea that we need to reconcile presumes an act of wrongdoing and regret.
00:02:51.380 But we have no regrets.
00:02:53.700 Nothing to reconcile for and no apologies to give because we did nothing wrong.
00:02:59.860 Settling and building Canada was great and we're proud of it.
00:03:03.880 Canadians embarked on grand and daring journeys to explore this continent.
00:03:07.780 They braved rocky rivers and scaled towering mountains.
00:03:11.640 They built railroads.
00:03:13.760 They built this beautiful legislative building.
00:03:17.040 Canadians discovered insulin and saved millions of lives.
00:03:22.020 Canadians ushered in marvels of engineering and sent astronauts into outer space.
00:03:27.520 We're proud to have staved off the American invasion in the War of 1812.
00:03:31.580 We're proud to have fought in one and two world wars.
00:03:34.740 We're proud to have invented the telephone.
00:03:36.880 We're proud we ended slavery, established laws and brought peace to warring tribes.
00:03:42.480 We're proud to have brought indigenous people with us into the modern age and formed Canada together.
00:03:48.320 Instead of guilting our nation, let's celebrate it.
00:03:52.380 And now this bill will not shock you.
00:03:55.300 Got shot down.
00:03:56.620 86 people voting against it and only three voting in favor of it.
00:04:01.060 That being one BC leader, Dallas Brody, House leader, Tara Armstrong and independent MLA, Jordan Keeley.
00:04:08.820 There was also one abstention.
00:04:10.600 So I don't know how much how that person would have voted.
00:04:13.320 I think they were online and had a technical difficulty.
00:04:16.220 Let's just assume they would have voted in favor of it.
00:04:18.280 Just, you know, beef up the numbers there.
00:04:20.500 But still, it's just absolutely wild just how strong the left-wing woke orthodoxy is inside the BC legislature.
00:04:29.860 This is a holiday literally based on a lie.
00:04:32.760 It was only made a holiday 10 days after the Kamloops Indian Residential School discovery of 215 graves.
00:04:40.780 There are no graves, even the Kamloops band itself, who started out guns blazing, saying this is a mass grave, it's all murder, there's 215 bodies of children.
00:04:51.380 Even they just call it anomalies on their website.
00:04:53.900 Now, they effectively still go around implying their graves because, you know, they can't exactly admit that they were lying all this time.
00:05:01.060 But even they can't use the strongest language anymore because it's clearly not true.
00:05:06.200 In other places around Canada, because we got up to a number of, like, 3,500 children's graves potentially discovered around the country.
00:05:14.440 All the places that actually dug and investigated found nothing.
00:05:17.920 And sorry, it's not going to be any different in Kamloops for some reason if you really want there to be dead children there.
00:05:24.360 I don't know why you would.
00:05:25.860 But it's not true.
00:05:27.280 And you shouldn't keep holidays on the calendar that aren't true.
00:05:30.780 And people will then try and pivot and say, well, there was abuse at these schools.
00:05:34.140 I'm sorry, but we can't have a holiday based on just abuse happening at schools.
00:05:38.320 Or we would need a holiday about it right now because abuse happens at schools now. 0.94
00:05:42.580 That's not downplaying anyone's abuse.
00:05:44.440 That is basically saying that any time we ever see something like that, that person should be charged to the fullest extent of the law.
00:05:51.920 And Dallas saying that Canada hasn't done anything wrong is basically true.
00:05:56.800 Canada on a national level, on the entity that is Canada level, like the bird's eye view of Canada.
00:06:03.540 Canada, we haven't really done anything wrong.
00:06:06.200 Have there been bad things that have happened in the borders?
00:06:08.680 Sure.
00:06:08.940 Have there been bad people who did bad things who were working for the government?
00:06:12.480 Yes.
00:06:13.340 Guess what?
00:06:14.200 That's true even of the indigenous bands.
00:06:16.640 Have they not had bad people part of their groups?
00:06:18.780 Have they not done bad things?
00:06:20.300 Did they not start wars with one another that were bad?
00:06:24.120 Absolutely.
00:06:24.760 But I wouldn't indict them for things that were normal.
00:06:28.120 That was just kind of how things were.
00:06:30.180 Or I'm not going to indict an entire indigenous group because they ended up warring with another group.
00:06:35.140 Or then, you know, I'm not going to indict the Métis because of the Red River Rebellion. 0.68
00:06:39.360 It's just stuff that happened.
00:06:40.960 And I don't think that this is anything that goes on to the level of the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide or Cambodia or the great leap forward in China that killed 50 million people and whatnot.
00:06:52.040 We haven't had the trail of tears and we have to stop pretending like there's any massive black mark in Canadian history that we can't go a single day without acknowledging.
00:07:02.620 It's just not something that's there for Canada, for the indigenous tribes, for the Métis, for anyone else in this country.
00:07:09.400 Everyone is pretty much there's been bad things that have happened, but it hasn't been to the national sin level that other countries have.
00:07:17.080 But now I want to move on to Tara Armstrong's question.
00:07:21.760 Now, this is a five-minute clip, so we're definitely not going to watch the entire thing.
00:07:25.580 I just want to get to David Eby's freakout after her initial question.
00:07:30.340 And then I just want to kind of explain a little bit more about just kind of the hypocrisy of Eby here.
00:07:35.860 Because he eventually will bring up that, oh, my goodness, are you denying, are the 1BC party denying abuse happened?
00:07:43.040 Whenever people bring that up, it's basically signaling they don't actually care about indigenous people.
00:07:48.880 Indigenous people right now on reserves have extremely high crime rates. 1.00
00:07:53.080 The level of academic achievement is low.
00:07:56.220 The amount of substance abuse is very high.
00:07:59.080 And the government doesn't do anything about it.
00:08:01.500 So whenever David Eby comes out and says, well, you don't care because you don't care about abuses that would have happened in the residential school system, those people should have, like, if they weren't held responsible, that's horrible.
00:08:15.640 They should be held to the fullest extent of the law and locked up forever.
00:08:19.140 That stuff happens in our school system right now.
00:08:21.440 And that's shameful.
00:08:22.220 And that's terrible.
00:08:22.960 And those people should be exposed and locked up forever.
00:08:24.860 But when Eby brings it up, he is pimping out people's abuse stories in order to deflect criticisms of his current policies.
00:08:34.280 Again, he doesn't care day to day about how many indigenous people die of overdoses.
00:08:39.860 He doesn't care about the crime rates being bad.
00:08:41.800 He doesn't care that there's no jobs available, that the education quality is poor.
00:08:46.480 He doesn't care.
00:08:47.760 He only brings it up to deflect criticism of his own government's policies because he's using indigenous people as a shield.
00:08:54.940 He is a political pimp. 0.99
00:08:56.540 He is a race hustler. 0.99
00:08:58.160 That is all he is.
00:08:59.660 Who we are literally, 1BC is the only party that would pass laws that would do things in order to actually help indigenous people.
00:09:08.580 Be, you know, become resilient.
00:09:10.500 It's not even their fault.
00:09:11.960 This is effectively what a lot of bad government policy can do to a community.
00:09:16.340 It can absolutely decimate a community when you don't let there be individual property rights on reserves.
00:09:23.020 Reserves effectively act as mini-Soviet states where you don't get to own anything.
00:09:28.380 There's no jobs because who the heck would ever want to work on one of them where you don't even really own the ground that the company is based on.
00:09:35.360 Nobody bothers.
00:09:37.320 And then we wonder why there's so many problems.
00:09:39.380 And then David Eby doesn't do anything about it because he doesn't care.
00:09:42.000 He doesn't care.
00:09:42.520 Another indigenous person dies today.
00:09:44.620 Another indigenous child dies.
00:09:46.460 Another abuse victim is found on reserve.
00:09:49.060 Nobody cares because that's modern stuff.
00:09:52.540 He only cares about historical things. 0.96
00:09:55.320 It's ridiculous.
00:09:57.220 This morning, I'll be reading from the holy scriptures of the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
00:10:05.180 If you have it with you, please turn to Article 26.
00:10:08.560 And for context, if you don't know, UNDRIP, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, was put into provincial law through the mechanism of DRIPA, which is the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
00:10:23.100 It's just one-to-one, copy and pasted UNDRIP onto provincial law.
00:10:27.360 It is the only jurisdiction on the planet that has done this because it's the only jurisdiction with people crazy enough to do it.
00:10:33.440 Indigenous Peoples have the rights to the lands, territories, and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied, or otherwise used or acquired.
00:10:45.800 That is such a crazy standard for property ownership that you have, Aboriginal title extends to not just every square inch of British Columbia, but it also actually extends to, I heard, around 115% of BC because there are some indigenous groups who will claim the same land that another indigenous group was claiming.
00:11:08.060 But that's obviously 100% of it's now effectively owned by indigenous people because how could you possibly not, if you existed in an area and just walked around it as a group of people long enough, you've probably used or existed around or occupied pretty much every square inch.
00:11:26.800 It's pretty hard to get around that.
00:11:29.680 That's a ridiculous way of actually creating a standard of property ownership.
00:11:35.800 That would make it impossible to determine who owns anything in Europe.
00:11:41.400 Like, imagine actually having to go back in England and say, well, whose ancestors were the Iceni? 0.93
00:11:48.800 Whose ancestors were the Picts?
00:11:51.000 Well, we're going to give those people back that land. 0.92
00:11:54.060 Obviously, that's silly. 0.86
00:11:55.500 And it's still silly even if you're in British Columbia. 0.96
00:11:58.800 Mr. Speaker, if I'm not mistaken, that's all the land.
00:12:03.320 That's the land under 150 private homes in Richmond.
00:12:09.140 That's the land under the homes of 100,000 Kamloops residents.
00:12:14.820 That's the land under your very own feet.
00:12:18.300 Mr. Speaker, can the Premier point to any place in British Columbia that was not traditionally owned, occupied, used, or otherwise acquired by BC's indigenous people?
00:12:30.240 I love the opening here from David Eby.
00:12:33.800 Mr. Premier.
00:12:34.940 Thanks, Honorable Speaker.
00:12:36.420 I would thank the member for the question, but it's been quite a day already with those members from 1BC.
00:12:43.900 Okay, well, you know we're doing something, right, when he says that.
00:12:46.440 Look, they have a clear position.
00:12:51.060 It's obvious.
00:12:53.160 It is a very unfortunate position given the history in this place where indigenous people are specifically excluded from participating, voting, displaced from lands where they were.
00:13:06.220 And by the way, the not allowed to vote thing and serve, that was more of a consequence of the way that many agreements or just the way that the culture was back in the day that, oh, that's a different nation.
00:13:17.320 So, of course, you don't vote in BC because you're part of, you know, the Kamloops band.
00:13:21.940 You're part of the Cowichan band.
00:13:23.780 And so you have your own representatives and whatnot.
00:13:28.220 And, yeah, it's good that they end up changing that.
00:13:30.260 But they end up taking these things and acting like it was like some like an incredible bigotry on par with on par with what Jim Crow were subject to a biological attack with smallpox.
00:13:44.120 Someone has to get this man a tinfoil hat because that's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:49.520 We didn't even know about germ theory really until around World War I.
00:13:53.060 And he thinks that Canada, and this really demonstrates how thin the argument is that Canada is like an evil country, that somehow Canada deliberately used biological warfare to kill indigenous people.
00:14:05.500 That's just not something that I've ever heard claimed anywhere.
00:14:09.360 That's just not true.
00:14:10.460 People didn't understand how disease even worked, where they were forced into residential schools.
00:14:15.800 Many were sexually abused.
00:14:17.340 Children died to have to endure for those members, for members in this house, for indigenous, for people.
00:14:25.600 He doesn't care about indigenous people.
00:14:27.700 He doesn't care that there are high crime rates on reserves where children are being abused, where people are dying of overdoses, where you can't get a job because of just how bad the economic policies are.
00:14:40.460 Like, he doesn't care.
00:14:41.740 He just pretends to care when it comes to historical things, but he couldn't care less about the things he's doing today that makes life unbearable for indigenous people under the guise of helping them.
00:14:51.140 Yeah.
00:14:51.260 high school kids to be listening to the members, promulgating fictions that suit their agenda
00:14:59.120 in the face of the well-documented history of this province, and then to rise and to continue
00:15:08.140 this attack on the work that we have to do at the same time as Indigenous people. 0.93
00:15:13.260 Yeah, David Eby hasn't wiped out all the Indigenous people yet. I think that's probably 1.00
00:15:17.240 the work he's referring to, because that's all his policies do, is it just destroys the community
00:15:22.420 more. People across this province are working with this government to deliver prosperity in every
00:15:27.920 corner of British Columbia to ignore those facts, the thousands of jobs that are going to be realized
00:15:32.580 through these partnerships. I mean, it is a reprehensible, disgusting, appalling, I've run
00:15:38.380 out of words to describe what they're trying to do. They're trying to drag us to a terrible history,
00:15:42.920 drag us back, and our government is focused on pushing forward, finding a path forward. It's not
00:15:49.020 easy work, but it is the only path forward for this country and for this province. We're going to do it
00:15:54.160 in partnership with Indigenous people. What a pathetic human being. Like, Tara Armstrong brings up that 1.00
00:15:59.420 we actually have tribes now from Alaska that are trying to claim territory in BC, and in his answer,
00:16:06.560 Eby says, oh, of course we're fighting the American tribes, and I'm thinking, why? Why? If they've ever
00:16:10.740 touched the land, why don't they get to own part of it, too? Oh, well, it's because they're on the
00:16:14.040 American side of the border. Well, suddenly borders, suddenly these Western institutions,
00:16:18.740 these colonial institutions known as borders matter to you? Like, well, check out his answer here.
00:16:24.360 First of all, and the member knows this, we have aggressively resisted the attempts by American 1.00
00:16:31.040 tribes to establish claims here in British Columbia. We will continue to do so.
00:16:36.800 We will continue to do so. And you jump ahead, Tim, screaming about recall, which is clearly
00:16:46.500 anti-Indigenous, unambiguously, unambiguously racist. And it is incredibly problematic that we
00:16:55.060 have these voices in our legislature tearing at the fabric of the agreements that we need to be
00:17:00.300 prosperous and successful in this province. Those tens of thousands of jobs are not up for grabs as long
00:17:05.840 as we're on this side of the house. We're going to fight for those jobs. We're going to deliver
00:17:09.320 prosperity for British Columbians. We're going to do it in partnership with First Nations.
00:17:13.700 And those members on the house, on that side of the house, I fully support any effort to recall
00:17:22.720 these members because there is not a chance that the people who voted for them had any idea about
00:17:27.880 the agenda they'd be advancing in this house.
00:17:30.140 I agree with that. I don't think anyone understood how cool Dallas Brody and Tara Armstrong were going
00:17:35.460 to be before they ended up getting into office. This, I have to show you guys this. This is so
00:17:41.100 stupid, but I have to talk about it. So yesterday, you know, you had this one obnoxious MLA behind 1.00
00:17:48.560 Tara Armstrong, Amelia Boltby making faces and gestures as she's talking yesterday. And one of the NDP
00:17:54.660 MLA's clipped that and said, Oh, thank you to MLA Boltby for representing the, the, the, whatever,
00:18:02.180 like the emotions that we're all feeling right now. And she like literally had just screen recorded
00:18:07.040 the clip with her own phone pointed at her pointed at her laptop screen. It looked terrible. So I just
00:18:13.740 said, I can teach you and your staff how to properly clip a video. Also, it's not racist to oppose racist
00:18:18.780 laws. You in fact, like racism, which is what DEI is. And this is a reference to yesterday,
00:18:24.740 Tara Armstrong putting forward a bill to get rid of DEI diversity, equity, and inclusion,
00:18:29.500 or as I like to call it sometimes the didn't earn it program in universities. We would just get rid of
00:18:35.120 it in our post-secondary institutions. And that was actually saying that we actually got the
00:18:39.800 conservatives to vote in favor of. So every once in a while, they can be rational. Rohini Aurora
00:18:44.180 then responds to me, the NDP MLA from Burnaby East, who also calls herself an uninvited guest
00:18:51.260 in Canada. She says, the white guy telling me as a brown woman, what racism is LMAO. Now I have a
00:18:59.700 small story to tell about Rohini Aurora. So I saw her recently at a BCAC event where she was mad about 1.00
00:19:07.460 something I had said one time about, I don't know, purple, not being her color or something like that.
00:19:12.480 Because she was wearing this weird blouse this one day. I think I made a comment about it in a
00:19:16.120 video, like briefly, where she's wearing like a blouse, but then she's wearing a dress over top 0.95
00:19:19.580 of it. And it's like puckering in weird places and whatnot. I didn't get it. And I thought it was
00:19:23.300 just, nah, it wasn't the best shade of purple. You know, a lighthearted, funny comment as people
00:19:28.300 make about me as well. And she was really upset about it. And then she started going on this rant 0.98
00:19:32.380 about DEI and why we all need diversity, equity, inclusion, all that stuff. And then I brought up
00:19:38.040 Thomas Sowell, so you know, the black conservative writer in the United States' writings on why DEI
00:19:43.960 is bad. I don't even care that Thomas Sowell is black. He's just a really good writer. So I'm not 1.00
00:19:48.980 bringing this up as, oh, that adds extra weight to it. I was just bringing up his books because he's
00:19:53.460 written extensively on why DEI is bad for everybody. And Rohini Aurora actually said to me, well, he comes
00:20:00.680 from a colonial perspective. And I was just thinking like, dude, just call him the un-Uncle
00:20:05.300 Tom. Just use a slur. Well, come on. A guy doesn't agree with you and immediately you're
00:20:11.540 like, oh, he comes from a colonial perspective. What a limp, pathetic comment in response to 1.00
00:20:17.760 somebody who disagrees with you. Basically, oh, he's not really black. You know that. Like, 1.00
00:20:23.060 what the heck? Did I just go back to the Jim Crow South with a Rohini Aurora teleporting me 1.00
00:20:29.080 there? My goodness. But in response to this, her saying, the white guy telling me a brown
00:20:34.200 woman what racism is, I had to post this because it was hilarious. I just posted POV, BC NDP
00:20:41.660 MLA Rohini Aurora deciding how she treats another human being. She's just, she's just pathetic. 1.00
00:20:49.620 I have to go now over to grab this clip of the Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation Minister 0.99
00:20:57.580 responding to what we had been doing as well as actually independent MLA Jordan Keeley because
00:21:03.140 he put up a vote the previous day to just get rid of Drifa. And I had to give him credit. He seemed to 1.00
00:21:08.780 strategically word his statement of why we should repeal Drifa in the most sympathetic terms possible.
00:21:16.420 He was very gracious about it. Almost too gracious. And I think that was strategic. Act as nice as
00:21:22.620 humanly possible in repealing Drifa and see what the NDP does. And he lumps him in with us saying
00:21:27.920 that he's done something bad too. So really it proves it's just the ideology. If you disagree
00:21:33.620 with them on politics, you are ergo a racist. You are ergo a bigot. It's ridiculous. But here is
00:21:40.440 Spencer Chandra Herbert, who of course had turned the comments off of his post.
00:21:46.320 Today in the legislature, we the BC NDP stood up strong and defeated yet another hateful attempt to
00:21:52.160 sow division to divide our province between First Nations and non. We defeated Dallas Brody's bill
00:21:57.700 that would have torn up National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Yesterday, we defeated another bill.
00:22:05.320 A few weeks ago, we defeated another bill. That bill was in fact getting rid of DEI, which in fact is
00:22:11.700 racist to judge people based on their race. But these people are neo-racists. They have their own 0.59
00:22:17.480 version of why racism is now cool again. And oh, guys, don't worry. It's not racist. It's tolerant
00:22:24.300 racism. It's neo-racism, guys. And so we're defeating all of the real racists trying to stop
00:22:31.340 us from being racist. It's ridiculous. To try and tear up the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous 0.99
00:22:36.600 People's Act. These three MLAs who led this were conservatives. And it was wrong. Spreading hate and
00:22:44.120 division. Spreading fear. Well, they're not conservatives anymore. But he's like trying to blame
00:22:48.760 Rustad, I guess, for letting in these MLAs, which is giving Rustad too much credit. You know, Rustad would
00:22:55.100 have replaced them with like liberal consultant automatons if he could have, which is what many of the BC
00:23:02.700 MLAs are at this point. Just people with no particular opinions about anything sitting in committee
00:23:07.960 meetings saying, well, can we move this comma from here to there? Oh, well, we don't like the bill. The bill's not
00:23:14.040 good. I'm going to give a 20 minute speech that nobody's going to listen to on why bill 25 is
00:23:18.980 centralizing too much power. At 1BC, we literally have like a policy in our office. You write things
00:23:25.280 as simply as possible. Because what is the point of going on for 10 minutes when nobody cares?
00:23:30.220 Make the statement, make it as concise as possible, and move on. Brevity is the soul of wit. But the BC
00:23:36.440 conservatives literally AI their speeches to be longer. And you can tell because they just
00:23:42.560 ramble. Attacking First Nations people to try and score a political win is racist. It's hateful.
00:23:49.080 It's discriminatory. It hasn't. No one attacked First Nations people. In fact, the BC NDP's policies
00:23:54.340 have been murdering First Nations people. You think safe supply and their decriminalization of drugs 1.00
00:24:00.060 has been good for that community? No, because that community already had problems with law enforcement
00:24:06.020 because the NDP thinks it's racist to enforce the law. And so the actual racist outcome is the NDP
00:24:12.080 basically letting this community get completely destroyed. Because it turns out if you did the
00:24:16.760 sorts of things the current NDP government does to First Nations people to any group, that group would
00:24:21.620 also get destroyed. Give the group basically no jobs on reserve. Basically, financially incentivize them
00:24:28.180 to not move away and sit in a place where there's no prosperity and there's no prospects. And then
00:24:34.540 decriminalize drugs and then don't enforce the law and then don't crack down on any internal
00:24:39.440 government corruption. And that's how you get to the situation we're in.
