00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, back on the bench today, here to tell you guys a very funny story
00:00:06.780of a leftist journalist faking a story in order to seem like some virtuous fighter of the far right.
00:00:14.400This has to sort of do with me in Alberta, because as you guys may know, I am still running for the
00:00:20.140UCP nomination for the riding of Calgary Curry for the next provincial election, and the character
00:00:26.180involved in this is very much related to a group of people who has been smearing me over time in
00:00:31.820Alberta politics. So Duncan Kinney runs the Progress Report in Alberta. Maybe he's no longer
00:00:39.440there anymore for legal reasons because of how badly he just got owned in court today. But a few
00:00:45.820years ago, back in 2021, in Edmonton, a Ukrainian statue was defaced outside of a Ukrainian cultural
00:00:55.480center. Now there's a controversy whether or not this person should have a statue in front of the
00:01:00.260center, whether they have an unsavory past during World War II or not. I've heard it's a very gray
00:01:06.040area where the Ukrainian Cultural Center defends this individual and says that a lot of the stuff
00:01:11.520that's said badly about them tends to be just sort of made up KGB nonsense after World War II to
00:01:16.500justify liquidating them. Some critics say no, they worked with the Germans during World War II
00:01:20.980at one point, I don't know. But Duncan Kinney had written a story about the statue being defaced. It
00:01:26.580was defaced with a quotation saying actual Nazi, because apparently this person was a Nazi or
00:01:32.960something. That's neither really here nor there, because it later came out that Duncan Kinney, who
00:01:38.820wrote an article on this thing trying to spur along an outrage mob against the statue existing
00:01:44.540and push back on the cultural center to take it down, it was found out that he was the one who
00:01:51.260tagged the statue. He was the one who took red paint, wrote on it, and then came back the next
00:01:57.140morning to talk about how apparently there's all these local activists out here, local individuals
00:02:03.360are outraged by the statue. Nobody knows what the statue is, barely anyone cares, except online
00:02:11.000leftist weirdos like Duncan Kenney, and so he took it upon himself to manufacture a story,
00:02:18.280to then try and put unfair attention on a matter, and put pressure on the people running the cultural
00:02:24.040center to try and get them to take it down. This is exactly the sort of thing that other
00:02:28.920organizations like the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, Press Progress do, and also organizations like
00:02:35.560cult mtl they wrote write articles on something way below out of a proportion something that's
00:02:41.320either not that big of a deal or even flat out make things up in order to hurt people's political
00:02:47.000careers put full you know advance their own political agenda stuff like that it's extremely
00:02:53.720dishonest and nasty and the organization press progress and i believe progress report is also
00:03:00.220involved in this they are currently being demolished in court right now alongside actually0.63
00:03:06.420the CBC and the Toronto Star for the smear that took place of Kaylin Ford she was actually
00:03:13.160the UCP candidate in 2019 for the riding of Calgary Mountain View and then Press Progress
00:03:20.900and other outlets got a hold of some very out of context text messages between her and another
00:03:27.520individual where they tried to cast what she had said as her being in favor of white supremacy.
00:03:33.440No, they called her a white supremacist. They basically covered it in such a way where the
00:03:38.040reader was obviously going to come to the conclusion that she was a terrible nasty person
00:03:42.940and it resulted in the UCP at the time expelling her as a candidate. And in defense of the UCP,
00:03:48.680they were basing, they took the reporting as maybe truthful and they had to drop her because
00:03:54.300she was considered controversial at the time well later on it was proven all this was completely out
00:03:59.660of context the journalists did no due diligence to actually verify that these text messages were a
00:04:05.100true reflection of what the person said they did not look into more context and they didn't even
00:04:09.900reach out to her for comment on anything and now they are being sued for millions of dollars in
00:04:15.980court the cbc even got to the point where they started saying well you shouldn't take our
00:04:21.820articles so seriously because you know there's always a little bit of opinion implied whether
00:04:25.840it's a little bit of editorial you know a little bit of an editorial choice the way we presented
00:04:32.320it it's supposed to be assumed to be one individual's take but not maybe all of the facts
00:04:37.900and it's like guys you're the cbc you are the organization that pretends like you play it right
00:04:43.080down the middle of the road you really can't really push that sort of messaging now after
00:04:48.700literally decades of pretending that you're straight up down the middle moderate neutral
00:04:54.020tellers of the truth same things for the toronto star and especially for these leftist outlets
00:04:59.760press progress the progress report i think the progress report actually had already settled out
00:05:04.300of court with kaylin ford for hundreds of thousands of dollars because they knew they
00:05:07.780were screwed and they probably knew that duncan kenny was also going to be screwed in this case
00:05:11.120where he was found guilty of being of planting the story about the ukrainian statue but these are the0.95
00:05:17.420type of people who shape politics in our various provinces a lot of this is concentrated in
00:05:23.180Alberta because they know if they can you know damage conservatism in Alberta it ends up having
00:05:27.840a knock-on effect in other parts of the country but these are the type of people who attack
00:05:33.960individuals like myself individuals like Dallas Brody in British Columbia other conservative
00:05:39.580politicians around this country and tries to make it so that other conservatives will not back them
00:05:44.940up. They won't want to come in to their aid and defend them because there's an aura of badness
00:05:51.780around them. They've already labeled them far-right, so you have to back up. There are people out there
00:05:55.700who are actual extremists. I could point out them to you, but they're very obvious. The organizations
00:06:01.160like this, though, need to be started, need to have institutional conservatives start to go after
00:06:06.720them. The UCP, the federal conservatives, all these parties and conservative organizations need
00:06:13.460to directly declare war on organizations like Press Progress, the Progress Report, the Toronto
00:06:20.060Star, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, because although they sometimes do report things that
00:06:25.560are accurate and factual, the thing is it's all in, it's all basically in the service of trying
00:06:32.540to smear conservatives. So it's not that everything Press Progress says is false. It's not that
00:06:37.000everything the tieee says is false or the Progress Report or any of these organizations. The Canadian
00:06:41.960Anti-Hate Network sometimes does actually report on genuine hateful individuals. But what they do
00:06:48.600is they use that reporting on an actual neo-Nazi over there in order to try and play five degrees
00:06:55.080or six degrees to Kevin Bacon, in order to find some vague connection that they have to some other
00:07:00.440more mainstream conservative who has really nothing to do with them. They did this with
00:07:04.340Pierre Polyev and Jeremy McKenzie. Oh my goodness, they shook heads in an event when Pierre didn't
00:07:08.480even know who he was. What? These are the type of stories that these organizations push out,
00:07:13.380and I think institutional conservatives need to actually start just taking an axe to them in court
00:07:18.940whenever they defame one of your people, you take them to court, you drag them through the system,
00:07:24.840and you make them justify their words, because they have been living in a media environment
00:07:29.040where they can say anything about you, and it flies. Press Progress attacked me as, like,
00:07:34.140being vaguely bigoted because i support parental rights in alberta i made a video where i had
00:07:40.680basically talked about uh how you know in schools i'm gonna let this thing go by
00:07:48.740the joys of filming outside because i don't have access to my normal setup right now
00:07:59.940love it don't we all love that but I they wrote an article on me because I had been like
00:08:06.320vaguely bigoted I apparently by supporting parental rights in Alberta and talking about how
00:08:11.980in many of these classrooms with nightmare progressive teachers you do end up having
00:08:16.460children put having gender three basically pushed on them the idea that kids are very
00:08:21.920susceptible to suggestion so when you're basically acting like well what gender are you Billy or what
00:08:28.080gender are you Vanessa and the child's six or seven years old they don't really understand
00:08:33.300what that means and they're very susceptible that the teacher saying oh you might not be a boy or a
00:08:38.720girl and they think that a third option or something like that is like a normal thing to
00:08:42.820choose as if you're choosing an ice cream flavor I basically described these things in a video and
00:08:47.400why parental rights are very much needed and that we need to ban gender theory and that there are
00:08:53.140these teachers out there who are effectively grooming kids by pushing this ideology on them
00:08:57.280They had said in an article headline that a conservative candidate for a federal nomination thinks that gay and trans kids' safety in classrooms doesn't matter,
00:09:06.820because I had commented on how this is always blown out of proportion, that there's all this bullying going on.
00:09:11.200There really isn't. If there is any, I don't think it's really that disproportionate to anything else that's going wrong in the classroom.
00:09:18.060But they wrote all that up, had Dr. Christopher Wells, who is somehow now a senator in our country,
00:09:22.860quoted about talking about how i'm a far-right bigot or whatever other people did that and this
00:09:28.200organization is being sued into the floor for smearing kaylin ford but they did effectively
00:09:32.240the same thing to me that they did to kaylin ford they just threw a bunch of accusations out there
00:09:36.720at me they pulled a bunch of my words out of context they basically gave left-wing definitions
00:09:41.540to all the things i was saying in order to make it sound like i had actually said something that
00:09:45.420i didn't say or that the intensity of my words was far greater than they actually were in context
00:09:51.620these organizations are extremely dangerous and more conservatives need to be aware of them so
00:09:56.340they can identify what is effectively the psyop that's going on the propaganda op going on to try
00:10:02.860and get conservatives to drop their own people when they haven't done anything wrong or to try
00:10:07.080and get you to shut up because if you say your own views too straightly you're going to have
00:10:11.580someone crack down on you and attack you and try and get you like kicked out as a candidate
00:10:16.660so hopefully this hasn't been too much of a long ramble I just wanted to put some of these things
00:10:22.240out there because I thought this was kind of interesting this Duncan Kinney story that
00:10:25.800is just proof positive so much of this leftist journalism is genuinely fake not I disagree with
00:10:32.700it not that it's just an opinion I don't like genuinely they are just faking news stories
00:10:37.080in order to try and get like good press for themselves and to try and get like negative
00:10:43.180headlines for their opponents. Duncan Kinney did it, Press Progress's, Luke LeBron and other
00:10:48.520individuals have done it to Kaylin Ford, myself and others. Organizations like the Canadian
00:10:53.340Anti-Hate Network have done it to people like Pierre Polyev. They need to have actual legal
00:10:59.060consequences far more often going into the future. Conservatives can see if you fight them in court,
00:11:03.980you so often win. It very rarely ever happens the other way. I've not seen that many
00:11:09.580conservatives actually sued successfully in court because typically speaking i find conservative
00:11:13.700journalists have far better standards but conservative parties conservative third
00:11:18.120party organizations and non-profits when they attack your people you fight back very hard and
00:11:25.260make sure to bankrupt these liars whenever they try and smear you in the media
