00:04:00.000 hello everybody welcome and shadow at night for tuesday january the 7th 2025
00:04:12.840 on the show tonight is donald trump serious i mean is he really serious he talks a good game
00:04:22.540 is he going to try and take over canada panama greenland via denmark
00:04:28.420 press conference today oh baby trudeau came up with something on twitter slash x
00:04:36.960 to try and counter that narrative and failed miserably because he's a lame duck and an ass
00:04:42.840 and nobody takes him seriously even though that well i guess the cbc still tries to but we all
00:04:48.500 know better right so we're going to cover all of that and mark zuckerberg released a video today
00:04:53.780 He claims that Meta, his two big platforms, Instagram and Facebook, will no longer be using those fact checkers, the ones who have gotten you, me, shut down over the past four years for sharing actual information.
00:05:08.680 That's right.
00:05:09.900 I wonder if he's going to still derank people for violations, because I'm still deranked on Facebook.
00:05:16.100 With 57,000 followers, I'm still deranked.
00:05:19.100 And the videos on Facebook, generally speaking, get 12 or 13,000 views on average when it should
00:05:24.980 be up around 30 or 40,000. But hey, who am I to complain? That's why we do Rumble. That's why we
00:05:32.360 do X. That's why we do YouTube now, even though I'm not sure how much longer that's going to last.
00:05:37.500 That's why we do Telegram and all of the others, including ShadowDavis.com. And tonight,
00:05:43.740 I knew, I know I said last night, we're going to do part two, what we did last night, part one.
00:05:49.100 but people have been sending me this very fascinating video called the illusion is
00:05:55.800 Canada. It was posted on forget which maybe YouTube, maybe rumble, maybe odyssey. One of
00:06:03.180 those platforms three or four days ago, it's not gotten a lot of views. We're going to play that
00:06:07.300 in the extension tonight. It's 48 minutes. It's well worth the watch. And then it will be available
00:06:13.100 on the website afterwards for all access members. So if you're not an all access member, then come
00:06:17.640 on and become an all-access member. It's not expensive. It's shadowdavis.com, S-H-A-D-O-E-D-A-V-I-S.com.
00:06:26.580 The show is brought to you, as always, by CanadaNanoSilver.com.
00:06:31.920 Pairing Crest toothpaste to Silver Circles toothpaste. First, we're starting out with
00:06:35.060 Crest. It's a classic. It's an original. It's what I've used most of my life. But that being
00:06:39.020 said, it does have its problems. First off, the consistency is so weird and thick, and I get it's
00:06:43.240 a paste, but it really doesn't spread that well. And I must also say that I'm not in love with the
00:06:47.240 taste. I get toothpaste isn't supposed to taste good, but why shouldn't it? But that being said,
00:06:51.200 it does get the job done. Next, we have silverseuticals. They have three flavors,
00:06:54.340 but today we're going with bubble berry and already it smells so good. So I'm excited to
00:06:57.940 see what this tastes like. The consistency is also a lot smoother and I must say it spreads
00:07:02.000 way nicer in your mouth. This literally tastes like fruit bubble gum. Yeah, this toothpaste was
00:07:07.460 pretty good. I actually went in for seconds and it's infused with nano silver. So it helps
00:07:11.820 remineralize your teeth and keep them fresh throughout the day. 100% go with silverseuticals.
00:07:16.420 And here's the results.
00:07:17.540 What's your favorite toothpaste?
00:07:20.600 CanadaNanoSilver.com, obviously, is the website.
00:07:22.900 I say it every night at least three or four times.
00:07:25.400 CanadaNanoSilver.com, CanadaNanoSilver.com, CanadaNanoSilver.com.
00:07:29.040 You can also get a hold of Kevin and Anna through the contact tab on the website under contact.
00:07:34.100 And if you're looking for retail locations, there's a retail locations tab as well.
00:07:40.080 CanadaNanoSilver.com.
00:07:41.100 Before we do the hellos tonight and the reminder to share and like, tomorrow night on the show, it's going to be interesting because we have a special guest coming on. Her name is Jasmine Lane. If you're from Winnipeg, you may have heard her on the radio off and on for the past few years. She's no longer on radio. She's got her own thing going now, mostly on YouTube, at least at this point.
00:08:02.440 And hopefully she branches out to other platforms like this show has.
00:08:05.780 But mostly on YouTube, her show is called Overly Opinionated with Jasmine Lane.
00:08:11.620 And here's a sample.
00:08:13.920 So let me get this straight.
00:08:15.800 Canadians who are taxed upwards of 50% when you factor in provincial and federal on all of their income.
00:08:22.580 And every single purchase that we make is also taxed.
00:08:26.280 pay for our government to travel all over the world to places we could never afford to eat meals
00:08:32.840 we could only dream of to decorate their homes and offices with the most luxurious artwork to spend
00:08:38.680 over fifty thousand dollars a month on alcohol to fly globally on a private jet while we are
00:08:45.640 no longer allowed to bring carry-ons as a part of our airfare to live in lavish homes the kinds
00:08:52.440 that we grew up looking at in magazines and then when they blow through all of our money on all of
00:08:58.520 those things they add in more taxes so that not only are we paying for them to live better than
00:09:05.320 us but then we're also paying down their debt because when they ran out of money they couldn't
00:09:13.160 just stop i'm looking forward to tomorrow night jasmine lane of overly opinionated with jasmine
00:09:22.200 lane on youtube we'll be joining the show tomorrow night same time as regular eight o'clock central
00:09:28.240 hello sheila from alberta watching tonight terry is watching on facebook in ottawa i was thinking
00:09:34.040 today and i'm not sure if i'm going to do a thing on this tonight maybe i will maybe tomorrow
00:09:40.000 that we need another convoy because the way things are going with this election we have no idea when
00:09:47.720 it's going to be i mean i heard ezra levant from rebel news today on with alex jones and
00:09:54.280 we're talking about possible prorogament up until october maybe later and they're not talking about
00:10:01.000 any kind of emergency situation you know like aliens landing or war another pandemic they're
00:10:06.460 not talking about that they're just talking about basic procedural stuff the liberal government
00:10:10.540 might try and sneak by with the help of the NDP to stay in power.
00:10:15.840 And Trudeau himself, even though he suggested he was stepping down yesterday,
00:10:20.380 he hasn't quit yet.
00:10:22.160 He is still, and he's not even interim, he's still the leader of the Liberal Party,
00:10:25.540 even though the Liberals will be conducting some kind of a leadership race
00:10:30.420 in the next couple of months.
00:10:32.140 And he's still the Prime Minister.
00:10:34.760 So we don't know exactly where this is going to go.
00:10:39.600 But with this prorogament or prorogation happening right now, he's got time to maneuver.
00:10:45.680 Trudeau has got time to maneuver.
00:10:48.000 And let's remember the ego on this guy, the narcissism.
00:10:51.200 He doesn't want to leave.
00:10:53.720 He doesn't want to leave.
00:10:55.980 So we may have to force their hand and go to Ottawa again for another you-know-what.
00:11:03.480 I know some people have been talking about that, and it's mostly musing at this point.
00:11:08.620 it's mostly joking and we know that we couldn't get the leaders of the last convoy to be involved
00:11:14.220 in this one because they're otherwise occupied still with court cases so some new blood is going
00:11:19.580 to have to step up and take control we'll see what happens hello railroad ed watching on youtube mark
00:11:26.860 is watching tonight on facebook hello bran watching in cambridge ontario john's watching in newfoundland
00:11:32.700 Hello, Christine and Enola.
00:11:35.000 Lisa's watching in Strathmore, Alberta.
00:11:37.460 Theo Therm 11 watching on YouTube in Mission, British Columbia.
00:11:41.440 Wherever you're watching, whatever platform you're watching on, guys,
00:11:44.060 let's get this out to as many people as we possibly can.
00:11:47.580 Like and share.
00:11:48.900 Like and share to all of your friends,
00:11:50.660 and hopefully we'll get the views we need to get some action,
00:11:53.780 to get some things done.
00:11:54.940 For example, if I was to say tonight,
00:11:56.700 and maybe I would release this in a 60-second short as well,
00:11:59.960 because I know the attention span of people these days,
00:12:02.120 most people is kind of like about this big um if i were to ask for a convoy tonight to ottawa and
00:12:09.720 nobody saw it what would be the point and this is why i always say like and share and get this out
00:12:15.340 to as many as many people as possible we would need a hundred thousand people and i'm talking
00:12:19.560 about peacefully standing on the front lawn of the parliament buildings in ottawa holding a sign
00:12:25.340 that says election now no and none of that stuff none of we don't need that stuff we've already
00:12:31.660 made that point. What we need is people peacefully holding signs that say we want an election now.
00:12:38.640 We, the people, are speaking and we want an election now. Not in two months, not in six
00:12:43.220 months. We want it now. All right. One more thing before we get into Donald Trump and what he said
00:12:51.600 today. Looks like we've got another one of these active transportation community plans happening
00:12:58.900 in manitoba this one is in steinbeck so this is a little bigger it's not like emerson with 700
00:13:06.560 people and it's not like morris with 3 000 or 2 000 people this is steinbeck this is i think the
00:13:12.720 third or fourth largest city in the province of manitoba right now population about 17 or 18
00:13:17.820 000 i know that sounds weird but for those of you living outside of manitoba you mean the third or
00:13:25.140 fourth largest city in your province is only 18,000 people. I get it, but that's just the way
00:13:30.140 this province is constructed population-wise somehow. I don't know how it got that way, but
00:13:35.680 out of the 1.4 million people who live here, 950,000 of them live in the Winnipeg area,
00:13:43.560 which is strange. Anyway, Steinbeck, which is about 30 miles, give or take, southeast of the
00:13:49.440 city of winnipeg says please join us at the open house reviewing the city of steinbeck's official
00:13:55.900 community plan and zoning bylaw and active transportation plan you know what this means
00:14:01.740 my friends yeah another one of these globalist plans another one of these un sdg sustainable
00:14:09.780 development goals plans i haven't seen the plan so i can't say for sure i haven't had a chance to
00:14:15.560 look at it yet but you can bet your bottom dollar that it's the same as all the other plans we've
00:14:21.600 seen and why all of a sudden are all these communities across the country saying hey we've
00:14:26.200 got a new active transportation plan for you community plan it's going to be great
00:14:29.980 why suddenly all of them together isn't that kind of strange i mean i've never seen municipalities
00:14:39.220 any sort of elected bodies or townships or countries or states or provinces act in such
00:14:46.900 unison the way these municipalities have been for the past year now city of steinbeck is making
00:14:52.680 revisions to the official community plan and zoning bylaw and is developing an active
00:14:57.620 transportation plan and they're meeting to discuss this with you the people on wednesday january the
00:15:05.560 15th between 6 and 8 o'clock at the Steinbeck City Hall foyer. So go and pack the place and
00:15:13.840 you can find more information on the city's website, which is Steinbeck.ca. Again, that is
00:15:20.360 Steinbeck.ca. This is an article that goes back to a CBC article yet that goes back to 2018 talking
00:15:26.740 about how Trudeau referred to Canada as a post-nation state. So we're going to come back to
00:15:31.780 that. But first, here is Pierre Polyev on Canada becoming America's 51st state in an interview on
00:15:39.660 CTV before Christmas. We need a strong, smart prime minister who has the brains and backbone
00:15:47.680 to first and foremost say to President Trump, Canada will never be the 51st state. We will be
00:15:54.580 an independent, proud, sovereign country as we always have been. We are blessed to live next
00:16:03.580 door to the greatest military and economic superpower the world has ever seen, which
00:16:10.080 President Trump will soon again lead. The president has raised some reasonable concerns about
00:16:17.460 the broken liberal border and our military and i would respond by saying we do need to reinforce
00:16:26.220 our border with drones helicopters boots on the ground and other high performing technology to
00:16:33.200 keep drugs and guns from crossing to stop human trafficking and we will all right so there is
00:16:41.660 poliev saying that hey you know we're not going to be the 51st state we're canada we're an
00:16:47.180 independent nation we're going to do what trump says but we're an independent nation he also went
00:16:51.580 on to say that we're going to do it because we were going to do it anyway it's always been part
00:16:55.200 of our plan i'm sure many of you have already seen this but here is trump part one of a press
00:17:03.880 conference he gave at mar-a-lago earlier
00:17:05.860 Mr. President, if you were working under the assumption that you're serious about making Canada the 51st state of the United States, the leader of the Conservative Party in Canada said, under no circumstances, it will never be the 51st state.
00:17:18.540 Maybe he won't win, but maybe he will.
00:17:20.820 The question is, to David's point, you had suggested that you were considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland. Are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Panama?
00:17:33.540 No, economic force, because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.
00:17:41.220 You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like,
00:17:46.540 and it would also be much better for national security.
00:17:48.540 And don't forget, we basically protect Canada.
00:17:51.600 But here's the problem with Canada.
00:17:53.800 So many friends up there, I love the Canadian people, they're great.
00:17:59.640 But we're spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it.
00:18:03.280 We're spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada.
00:18:07.220 We lose in trade deficits.
00:18:09.240 We're losing mass.
00:18:10.240 We don't need their cars.
00:18:11.240 You know, they make 20% of our cars.
00:18:13.060 We don't need that.
00:18:14.060 I'd rather make them in Detroit.
00:18:15.840 We don't need the cars.
00:18:17.100 We don't need their lumber.
00:18:18.620 We have massive fields of lumber.
00:18:20.420 We don't need their lumber.
00:18:22.080 We have to unrestrict them because stupid people put, you know, restrictions on, but I can
00:18:26.620 do that with an executive order.
00:18:29.060 We don't need anything they have.
00:18:30.860 We don't need their dairy products.
00:18:32.220 have more than they have we don't need anything so why are we losing 200 billion dollars a year
00:18:37.420 and more to protect canada and i said that to as i called him governor trudeau i said listen
00:18:45.020 what would happen if we didn't subsidize you if we didn't because we give them a lot of money we
00:18:49.980 help them as an example we're buying icebreakers and canada wants to join us in the buying of
00:18:55.340 icebreakers i said you know i we don't really want to have a partner in the buying of icebreakers we
00:19:00.700 We don't need a partner.
00:19:02.560 But no right.
00:19:06.380 Nope.
00:19:07.020 No right.
00:19:07.640 Here's what we have.
00:19:08.640 We have a right not to help them with their financial difficulties because we owe $36 trillion.
00:19:14.000 Still, we're going to start knocking it out pretty fast, but we're going to be able to
00:19:17.180 do it because of energy and other things.
00:19:19.500 Wait a minute.
00:19:20.240 Wait a minute.
00:19:20.700 Hold on.
00:19:21.720 You see where he's going with this when he talks about Greenland, when he talks about
00:19:25.040 Canada, when he talks about icebreakers.
00:19:27.060 trump is very concerned about the arctic circle right now and all of those chinese destroyers
00:19:34.360 and battleships and submarines and russian assets as well that are maneuvering around up there
00:19:40.280 and he wants canada greenland he wants them as protectorates so that he can go ahead and tell
00:19:50.780 the russians and the chinese get the hell out among other things like natural resources but
00:19:54.660 let's continue here but uh no no no right no no no right but why are we supporting
00:20:03.300 a country 200 billion plus a year our military is at their disposal all of these other things
00:20:11.380 they should be a state that's why i told trudeau when he came down i said what would happen if we
00:20:15.620 didn't do it he said canada would dissolve canada wouldn't be able to function if we didn't take
00:20:22.180 their 20 percent of our car market you know we again they send us hundreds of thousands of cars
00:20:28.180 they make a lot of money with that they send us a lot of other things that we don't need we don't
00:20:32.340 need their cars we don't need the other products we don't need their milk we got a lot of milk
00:20:37.300 we got a lot of everything and we don't need any of it so i said to him well why are we doing it
00:20:43.780 he said i don't really know he was unable to answer the question but i can answer it we're
00:20:47.860 We're doing it because of habit, and we're doing it because we like our neighbors, and
00:20:52.540 we've been good neighbors.
00:20:54.420 But we can't do it forever, and it's a tremendous amount of money.
00:20:58.260 And why should we have a $200 billion deficit and add on to that many, many other things
00:21:03.980 that we give them in terms of subsidy?
00:21:06.380 And I said, that's okay to have if you're a state.
00:21:09.920 But if you're another country, we don't want to have it.
00:21:11.880 We're not going to have it with European Union either.
00:21:14.660 union we have a trade deficit of 350 billion dollars they don't take our cars they don't take
00:21:22.160 our farm product they don't take anything and so we're not going to have it with them either
00:21:27.860 all right how does that make you feel immediately what is the gut reaction that you have
00:21:36.680 watching that video right now write it down in the comments please i want to see what you guys
00:21:42.320 have to say um for years i just turned 60 years old three weeks ago and ever since i can remember
00:21:52.920 canada has always been protected by the united states always has been i used to talk to my dad
00:22:03.340 about it and some other people who my dad knew you know how dads get together and they hang out
00:22:10.500 in the garage on a saturday afternoon with a bottle of rye or some beer and they talk about
00:22:14.780 whatever and this particular day they were talking about that about the united states about
00:22:21.680 military because there was a couple of ex-military guys in in the garage that day
00:22:26.100 and the military guys were ashamed because canada had just dropped the ball militarily speaking we
00:22:33.680 were a powerhouse in world war ii and then after that we just completely and totally gave up
00:22:38.040 military we just did not contribute to keeping up our military then there was the avro arrow issue
00:22:43.600 with dieffen baker in the late 1950s that would have made canada a an aerial superpower worldwide
00:22:50.940 superpower but nope too expensive we can't have the avro arrow there's actually a cbc series on
00:22:56.740 that starring dan ackroyd that goes back about 25 years worth watching if you can find it anywhere
00:23:01.960 we have always been the united states's little brother and i always thought at some point along
00:23:10.640 the way one day they're gonna say you know what this is too expensive why should we protect you
00:23:18.120 what's in it for us and here's donald trump saying that very thing which is kind of alarming
00:23:29.260 but for me anyway expected for the past 30 or so years why would they do that why would they spend
00:23:37.940 so much money to keep canada protected they don't need us they don't and he just said that
00:23:43.560 very succinctly in that press conference and he wasn't done there i can't assure you you're talking
00:23:51.140 about uh panama and greenland no i can't assure you on either of those two but uh i can say this
00:23:57.360 we need them for economic security the Panama Canal was built for our military
00:24:03.180 I'm not going to commit to that now it might it might be that you'll have to do something
00:24:09.040 look the Panama Canal is vital to our country it's being operated by China China and we gave
00:24:18.340 the Panama Canal to Panama we didn't give it to China and they've abused it they've abused that
00:24:23.760 It should have never been made, by the way, giving the Panama Canal is why Jimmy Carter lost the election, in my opinion, more so maybe than the hostages.
00:24:32.140 The hostages were a big deal.
00:24:33.980 But if you remember, and nobody wants to talk about the Panama Canal now because, you know, it's inappropriate, I guess, but because it's a bad part of of the Carter legacy.
00:24:43.960 But he was a good man.
00:24:45.720 Look, he was a good man.
00:24:46.800 I knew him a little bit, and he was a very fine person.
00:24:49.520 But that was a big mistake.
00:24:50.860 giving the Panama Canal to Panama was a very big mistake. We lost 38,000 people. It cost us the
00:24:57.440 equivalent of a trillion dollars, maybe more than probably the most expensive. They say it was the
00:25:02.480 most expensive structure, if we call it a structure, which I guess you can ever built.
00:25:08.380 And giving that away was a horrible thing. You don't even need binoculars. You look outside,
00:25:14.360 you have china ships all over the place you have russian ships all over the place we're not letting
00:25:21.400 that happen we're not letting it happen and if denmark wants to uh get to a conclusion but nobody
00:25:29.560 knows if they even have any right title or interest the people are going to probably vote for
00:25:33.240 independence or to come into the united states but if they did if they did do that then i would
00:25:38.760 tariff denmark at a very high level you want to talk about a new world order get set for things
00:25:47.560 to change my friends they're changing one way or another they're changing there was this thing
00:25:56.400 called amfest in phoenix just before christmas all the big conservative voices in the united
00:26:01.960 states were there and ben shapiro was one of the guys who was up speaking here's ben shapiro
00:26:06.740 talking about Trump's dealings with Justin Trudeau.
00:26:11.440 The tariffs are really designed not because tariffs are like fun and games.
00:26:15.820 Tariffs are designed for President Trump as leverage.
00:26:17.940 There is no one in the history of American politics
00:26:20.200 who has used leverage better than President Trump.
00:26:23.240 He uses tariffs as a way of threatening countries to do what he wants.
00:26:27.700 So I'll give you a story.
00:26:28.480 I won't give you the source on this story because I don't want to betray confidence.
00:26:30.780 But it's a great story, so I'm going to tell it anyway.
00:26:32.460 Okay, so this is a story I'd never heard anywhere before.
00:26:35.300 Here's the story.
00:26:35.820 President Trump's meeting with Justin Trudeau, who may or may not be Fidel Castro's son in any case.
00:26:43.260 By the way, he's totally Fidel Castro's son.
00:26:44.940 Anyway, he's meeting with Justin Trudeau, apparently, during the first administration,
00:26:49.220 and he is asking for a bunch of things for Canada to do, and Trudeau doesn't want to give all of them.
00:26:55.440 So Trump says to his people, bring Justin here, bring Justin to me.
00:26:58.480 So apparently they sit across from one another, and Trudeau is talking with the president,
00:27:03.440 And President Trump says, Justin, I want you to tell me if there were one thing I could
00:27:07.380 do tomorrow to completely wreck the Canadian economy, what would it be?
00:27:12.500 And Trudeau goes, well, I mean, Mr. President, there are a lot of things, you're a very powerful
00:27:16.100 country, but if you tariffed our cars, it would be really, really bad.
00:27:19.280 And Trump goes, Justin, I want to teach you a lesson.
00:27:21.460 The first thing not to do in a negotiation is answer the question, if you could do one
00:27:26.160 thing to destroy me, what would it be?
00:27:31.060 So, of course, and President Trump can say, I don't care about Canada.
00:27:35.760 I only care about America.
00:27:37.860 So I'm going to tariff all your cars unless you give me what you want.
00:27:42.140 He got what he wanted.
00:27:43.340 Okay, that's how I think President Trump thinks about tariffs.
00:27:46.780 All right, so what if, what if this is a plan that goes back forever?
00:27:55.260 And they're all in on it.
00:27:56.740 And I'm only spitballing here, so don't think I'm crazy.
00:27:59.720 back in 2015 this goes back to that cbc article that i was talking about about 10 minutes ago now
00:28:06.440 this is that cbc article from 2018 in an astonishing statement to the new york times in 2015
00:28:13.400 justin trudeau declared there is no core identity no mainstream in canada
00:28:19.960 and consequently that makes us the first post national state
00:28:26.440 everything that justin trudeau has done in the past nine years since he's been prime minister
00:28:36.680 seems like it's been devoted to dividing and conquering our country not from a military
00:28:43.920 standpoint but definitely from an economic and societal one do you feel as attached to canada
00:28:50.540 today as you did 10 years ago. They've taken away Canada Day celebrations all across the country
00:28:57.620 and replaced them with what? Aboriginal Day celebrations or whatever celebration suits them
00:29:03.400 in whatever municipality they're holding them in. They made our flags fly at half mast for six
00:29:09.460 months because of what they found in Kamloops near that old residential school. And there's
00:29:14.400 no proof of anything there nothing they made us feel terrible well some of us i mean i didn't
00:29:21.120 because yeah i mean a lot of us knew it was all bs but many people did not and many people felt
00:29:27.220 like canada is just such a horrible place horrible horrible place so with the demoralization almost
00:29:34.560 complete at least in trudeau's eyes then trump moves in comes to canada and says
00:29:41.840 51st state and of course what does trudeau say today oh not a snowball's chance in hell of that
00:29:49.240 ever happening all the liberals all over x and facebook we're never going to be the 51st like
00:29:54.160 you guys are the ones that caused all of this mess and now you're up in arms about it that is
00:29:58.360 absolutely ludicrous am i making too much of this is trump not serious is he doing like ben shapiro
00:30:06.760 said and only threatening tariffs to get what he wants better border security or does he mean it
00:30:13.660 does he mean that canada should be a territory or a state of the united states of america panama too
00:30:20.580 greenland too apparently donald trump jr is in greenland today right now his plane landed there
00:30:25.920 a few hours ago to talk with the government there to see if they're actually tied to denmark
00:30:32.120 and if not hey let's maybe do a deal here i'll do the preliminary stuff and my dad will fly up
00:30:38.480 later once he gets you know inaugurated this is all very very interesting stuff let's go to uh
00:30:44.440 let's go to a couple of other stories here before we continue from the toronto sun mr wonderful
00:30:51.040 kevin o'leary might be our best hope right now because what david eby the newly re-elected
00:31:01.260 premier of British Columbia said, well, I'm going to be getting a team of premiers together and
00:31:05.520 we're going to go to Washington and we're going to meet up with leadership there and we're going
00:31:08.960 to talk about these tariffs. Oh, good luck with that, David. I mean, first of all, you've got to
00:31:14.460 get all the other premiers to agree to what we want as a country. And then somebody has got to
00:31:20.240 be elected the talking head of that group of people and then go down to Washington and deal
00:31:25.020 with the Trump people. And the Trump people are going to know, hey, you're just premiers. You
00:31:28.960 don't represent the country. And by the way, who does represent the country? Do you even have a
00:31:34.860 prime minister right now? And I'm not talking about Trudeau either. Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary.
00:31:44.640 Mr. Wonderful goes to Mar-a-Lago as speculation ramps up about Trudeau's resignation. Well,
00:31:51.240 he did do that yesterday. At least he says he intends to. So what do we got here?
00:31:58.960 globe and mail reported late sunday that trudeau is expected to announce his resignation
00:32:05.900 one couldn't miss kevin o'leary at mar-a-lago with the president-elect this past weekend so
00:32:12.180 he was down there just what were they talking about and o'leary said just a couple of guys
00:32:19.140 talking just just a couple of guys talking what were you talking about the toronto sun
00:32:27.580 has confirmed o'leary was not just at the palm beach winter white house with the soon-to-be 47th
00:32:33.000 president saturday when italian prime minister georgia maloney was there but was invited back
00:32:38.200 on sundays as going back again tonight what were they talking about has anybody heard about this
00:32:42.240 i have not heard any of the details of this meeting 15 days out or 13 days out from trump's
00:32:50.180 inauguration it's is it that kevin o'leary is going to be canada's spokesperson canada's
00:32:57.260 unelected spokesperson down there with trump in the united states that's hilarious and there's
00:33:01.440 trudeau saying there's not a snowball's chance in hell that canada would become part of the united
00:33:06.060 states alberta has partnered with enbridge there's daniel smith jumping into the holes too
00:33:14.920 alberta's partnered with enbridge to double oil production and expand u.s exports she doesn't care
00:33:21.260 what anybody says you're just gonna sell the oil we're gonna write the deals before they can bring
00:33:25.440 in the tariffs alberta bucking the global push against fossil fuels with an ambitious plan to
00:33:34.580 double its oil production with the goal of increasing exports to the united states the
00:33:38.920 government of alberta working to expand its pipeline capacity and double crude production
00:33:43.460 While boosting exports to the U.S., according to a Monday press release, provinces signed a letter of intent with Enbridge, the Energy Behemoth, headquartered in Calgary, which transports nearly 20 percent of the natural gas consumed by the United States and accounts for 30 percent of North America's crude oil production.
00:34:00.220 Hey, Trump, what do you mean you don't need anything from us?
00:34:04.260 Enbridge transported nearly 4.4 billion barrels of oil and liquids in 2023.
00:34:10.580 over the last decade Enbridge has transported almost 37 billion barrels of oil the organization
00:34:18.660 delivers around 5.8 million barrels of crude oil and liquids daily in its cross-continent pipeline
00:34:24.680 network so that's something
00:34:27.360 now getting to the liberal thing for just a second the liberal leadership
00:34:35.040 race we don't even know who's going to be running yet they haven't enough you'd think with the lack
00:34:40.100 of time march 24th is when parliament is supposed to resume after this prorogation they'd want a
00:34:45.800 leader in place and so far we haven't heard really much we speculate that christia freeland and
00:34:50.860 carbon tax carney and maybe a couple of other like what's her name bc's ex-premier christy clark
00:34:56.220 they're going to throw their hats in the ring but we haven't heard anything official yet
00:34:59.940 but the rules of this leadership contest are very suspect according to brian lilly liberal rules
00:35:07.540 mean non-citizens could be choosing the next prime minister because whoever is elected as
00:35:14.040 the liberal leader will automatically become well not automatically they have to go through
00:35:18.000 the ceremonial stuff they will become prime minister will the people who decide the next
00:35:24.580 liberal leader and therefore the next prime minister of canada even be canadian according
00:35:32.200 to liberal rules, liberal constitutional rules, the party, party's constitution, you don't have
00:35:39.080 to be Canadian, and you only have to be 14 years of age to vote in this. It means a 14-year-old
00:35:47.940 from Wuhan, China, a 15-year-old from Belgrade in Russia, 17-year-old student from Gandingahar
00:35:55.080 in India could have as much impact as voters from Etobicoke, Calgary, or Ottawa in choosing
00:35:59.740 our next prime minister he goes on to ask what serious country does this ours we do
00:36:07.740 democracy watch is an organization that's headed up by a lawyer from toronto a duff
00:36:16.060 conaker and he writes this because you know there's still that foreign interference bugaboo
00:36:20.860 that has never been solved in our country because the liberals refuse to hand over some very key
00:36:26.860 documents, and they keep saying, well, Polyev won't sign the papers. Polyev won't get his
00:36:31.680 clearance. It's his fault. No, no, no. It's not a matter of national security. As a matter of fact,
00:36:41.440 Canadians deserve to know who the traitors are to our country. Don't you think? I do.
00:36:49.360 Public interest, not partisan self-interest actions needed before prorogation or next federal
00:36:54.620 election. He says liberals and NDP at least should strike a deal to ensure whistleblower
00:37:00.500 protection bills enacted along with key changes to stop foreign interference. Democracy Watch
00:37:06.680 will challenge a prorogation of parliament in court, he says, if it's clearly in the liberal
00:37:12.500 party's self-interest and happens at a time when opposition parties clearly intend to vote
00:37:17.300 non-confidence in the government. Okay, so this came out yesterday. Democracy Watch called on
00:37:24.300 all parties or at least the liberals and NDP to set aside their partisan self-interest and before
00:37:28.760 a prorogation or federal election happens act in the public interest by enacting the long-delayed
00:37:33.640 bill that strengthens federal whistleblower protection in key ways and by enacting bills
00:37:40.060 after the Hogue inquiry reports to close all the huge loopholes that allow for secret undemocratic
00:37:46.000 and unethical spending fundraising donations loans lobbying and disinformation campaigns by
00:37:51.380 foreign proxies and to strengthen enforcement and penalties he says also democracy watch
00:37:58.280 will challenge in court any request by the prime minister the governor general prorogue parliament
00:38:05.160 if the prorogation is clearly well it is clearly in the liberal party self-interest
00:38:09.420 we haven't heard any news on this so listen i need a favor from you guys
00:38:14.420 duff conacher is the guy's name duff conacher the guy who uh who runs democracy watch i would like
00:38:21.680 him to come on the show but i haven't got a way to get a hold of him at least not a direct way so
00:38:26.100 i've sent him a couple of tweets but if you watching right now want to see this guy on the
00:38:35.380 show and get the message out that this is what he's planning on doing then by all means feel
00:38:42.320 free to contact him and say hey shadow davis wants you to come on his show it's worked in the past
00:38:46.940 you know we get like three or four hundred people message somebody and then they get a hold of me
00:38:51.640 and say here you want me on the show and i say yeah yeah cool so please get it duff conacher
00:38:56.280 duff like the beer from the simpsons d-u-f-f and then conacher sounds like an old 50s hockey
00:39:02.500 player name i know c-o-n-a-c-h-e-r get a hold of duff conacher and tell him shadow wants you on
00:39:10.480 the show to talk about this court challenge i'm not even sure it's possible i want to talk to him
00:39:15.220 about this he's the lawyer i'm the interviewer look at this this is absolutely absurd this news
00:39:20.780 came out today this capital gains increase the liberals wanted to do but haven't been able to
00:39:27.300 make the law because parliament's been frozen for the past few months well these capital gains tax
00:39:34.920 changes are going to be enforced by Canada Revenue Agency. They're collecting these new
00:39:40.920 charges even without legislation. Unelected bureaucrats are going to start charging people
00:39:49.080 who sell their homes 75% on a capital gains tax as opposed to 50% before the change without any
00:39:59.560 legislative authority to do so. How is this even possible? The prorogation of Parliament has
00:40:07.120 nothing to do with the prorogation. It has everything to do with Parliament not passing
00:40:12.280 this law, but the CBC story says it's led to confusion around the federal government's plans
00:40:17.600 to boost the rate of tax some Canadians pay on the capital gains or profits they make from
00:40:23.040 selling assets like stocks, family businesses, or a cottage. Last spring, the federal liberal
00:40:28.960 government proposed changes to how it taxes those capital gains again from 50 to 75 percent the plan
00:40:36.820 was introduced in parliament in september it's still being debated when parliament was prorogued
00:40:41.760 at the request of the prime minister on monday that's not true nothing was being debated in the
00:40:46.480 house of commons because it was under filibuster because the liberals would not provide any
00:40:51.900 documents to the rcmp in their green slush fund scandal and so all of the opposition parties
00:40:59.060 voted together and parliament has been frozen since back in october so this article from the
00:41:04.420 cbc is completely inaccurate anyway the i suppose you could say this is technically true
00:41:13.180 but regardless the bill hasn't come close to passing at all but this prorogation kills all
00:41:21.440 bills and motions that had yet to receive any royal assent, meaning the proposed capital gains
00:41:25.720 changes haven't been approved. Even so, following government practice around tax change proposals,
00:41:31.980 the Canada Revenue Agency has already begun collecting capital gains taxes at the new
00:41:36.860 and higher rate. And there's all kinds of people, including business associations out there,
00:41:41.900 who want to do something about this, but they don't know who to talk to.
00:41:47.220 say we'll talk to your mp say yeah i could talk to my mp what's he or she gonna do about it
00:41:52.520 parliament's perogued there's nobody they can go to with this there's no committee
00:41:56.840 there's no department head there's nothing we can't do anything you go to the head of the cra
00:42:04.160 and say what are you doing i'm just doing my job no you're not no you're not this is not law it was
00:42:12.240 long away from ever becoming law. So why do you think that you have the power to enact it?
00:42:20.800 I guess what I'm saying is if you had plans to sell anything like a cottage or stocks or
00:42:26.480 anything you'd invested in, hold off until there's an election and this whole thing can be
00:42:32.940 straightened out. That's crazy talk. All right, Dr. William Mackis has a theory on why
00:42:42.120 Justin Trudeau decided to step down so abruptly even though it wasn't very abrupt yesterday and
00:42:48.980 here it is. Hi everyone Dr. William Mack is here. I've got my own theory as to why Justin Trudeau
00:42:56.220 may have resigned unexpectedly today and honestly I haven't seen anyone else mention it so here goes.
00:43:03.020 I think it has to do with pedophilia and child sex trafficking. We've seen in the past couple of
00:43:09.160 weeks, Elon Musk exposed the pedophilia scandals involving the UK government, you know, the rape
00:43:18.080 gangs and just how horrific these crimes were. And going back decades involving judges, involving
00:43:24.840 police officers and involving the entire UK government. Well, we've got huge pedophilia
00:43:30.620 scandals right here in Canada. And I haven't seen Elon Musk mention it, but I've been exposing it
00:43:36.980 the past year i've been exposing child sex trafficking in british columbia where justin
00:43:41.620 trudeau used to be a teacher and apparently had a scandal involving some minor students
00:43:48.740 i've been exposing pedophilia here in alberta where the conservative governments of jason kenny
00:43:55.860 and most recently premier danielle smith have been either covering up or supporting or defending
00:44:03.780 doctors who were sexually assaulting children, raping them, making child pornography, and were
00:44:09.620 giving their medical licenses back and were allowed to practice while doctors who were
00:44:14.220 prescribing ivermectin were being stripped of their medical licenses. So I don't think this
00:44:18.600 is an accident. I think Justin Trudeau may have been given an option to resign. This is a theory,
00:44:25.660 of course. And I think this is all going to lead to something huge at the end of this month. I
00:44:30.900 believe this is leading to an exposure of pedophilia in the united states the epstein list diddy
00:44:37.380 tapes diddy files i think we're just going to see a massive exposure of these elite pedophile
00:44:46.760 networks in canada in the uk and ultimately leading to the united states so that's my take on
00:44:53.860 this uh justin trudeau's unexpected resignation and a hot take it is doc you gotta get william
00:45:04.220 back on the show at some point soon the story of detective ottawa police detective helen gruce
00:45:10.900 continues uh her tribunal was back yesterday her lawyer is bath sheba vandenberg hopefully we can
00:45:18.140 get uh helen and bath sheba on the show in the next little while once they start talking to
00:45:22.700 media. They had a day off today and they're back at it tomorrow. And for those of you that don't
00:45:29.500 know the story of Detective Groose, our friend Dave Freedom in Toronto, the lawyer, not lawyer,
00:45:37.080 who's been helping people with their legal cases from the convoy and whatnot for the past couple
00:45:42.000 of years, has been putting videos together of what he feels are very important legal cases that have
00:45:49.360 going on across the country. So Dave contacted me on Sunday. Wasn't feeling well. Usually he
00:45:56.680 voices these things himself, but he wasn't feeling well. Didn't have a voice. And so he asked me if
00:46:02.400 I would do it. And I said, absolutely. And so Dave has put this together. It was available this
00:46:07.560 morning. I think it's got over a thousand shares on Dave's Facebook page. It's on my Facebook page
00:46:12.060 as well. And on my ex, go and share this, get this out to as many people as you possibly can.
00:46:17.100 awareness is the only weapon we have against these criminals so here is the video the story
00:46:26.140 of detective helen gruce so far ottawa police detective helen gruce urgently needs our support
00:46:34.280 she's been charged with discreditable conduct and is on the brink of losing everything for simply
00:46:41.280 doing her job, investigating nine unexplained infant deaths potentially linked to their
00:46:47.980 mother's vaccination status. Among the evidence she uncovered and presented to her superiors
00:46:53.220 was a Pfizer report revealing that 31 out of 32 pregnancies ended in spontaneous abortion.
00:47:01.500 Early in her investigation, in December 2021 and January 2022, Detective Groose warned Chief
00:47:09.400 Peter slowly and deputy chief Patricia Ferguson that the Pfizer vaccine had
00:47:14.140 never been tested on pregnant women and that her squad had noted an alarming rise
00:47:19.180 in unexplained infant deaths as her investigation gained momentum
00:47:24.340 connecting disturbing dots the Ottawa police quickly suspended Detective Groose
00:47:29.980 for conducting a purported unauthorized investigation despite the fact that
00:47:35.680 Groose had briefed the chief of police deputy chief and service sergeant major daniluk but a
00:47:41.520 suspension alone wasn't enough those pulling the strings needed to send a chilling message
00:47:48.080 not just to helen groose but to over 70 000 police officers across canada that message
00:47:55.440 investigating potential links between the covet vaccines and a growing number of injuries and
00:48:00.640 deaths would not be tolerated there was one obstacle though helen's investigation was
00:48:07.760 confidential so a full-scale public defamation campaign couldn't happen without breaching that
00:48:13.600 confidentiality and then predictably it happened in march 2022 two ottawa police officers betrayed
00:48:24.000 their duty illegally leaking confidential information about detective gruce's investigation
00:48:29.680 and the grieving families of the infants to CBC journalist Chamonix Yogaretnam.
00:48:36.880 CBC published two articles that defamed Detective Gruse, calling her actions rogue.
00:48:42.980 The articles also falsely claimed that Gruse had improperly obtained coroner's records for the deceased infants.
00:48:49.740 Ottawa Police Professional Standards, in an effort to cover their tracks,
00:48:53.440 refused Detective Groose's demands that they launch a criminal investigation
00:48:58.040 to identify the two involved officers.
00:49:01.480 But why would they do their job, right?
00:49:04.580 Whoever leaked that information to Shemini,
00:49:07.460 who made that ultimatum for the police to then call the parents to re-traumatize them
00:49:12.060 and probably to encourage them to make a public complaint against Detective Groose,
00:49:16.020 those are the police officers that committed a privacy breach.
00:49:19.700 It's particularly notable that during Detective Groose's investigation
00:49:23.020 into the nine infant deaths.
00:49:25.460 It emerged that her colleague, Detective Tara Anderson,
00:49:28.440 had failed to document the vaccine status of the parents and infants,
00:49:33.780 something that had been standard requirement for decades.
00:49:37.240 This glaring oversight placed Anderson in an unfavorable light.
00:49:41.520 Instead of addressing her own failings,
00:49:43.940 Anderson lodged a complaint against Groose with professional standards.
00:49:48.620 Even more striking, evidence later revealed
00:49:51.360 that Anderson's written complaint included the phrase,
00:49:54.420 the death of a child is the worst experience
00:49:57.200 a parent will ever go through.
00:49:59.760 Why is that phrase interesting?
00:50:03.280 Because in Shamini Yoga Retinam CBC articles,
00:50:06.500 it had reported that one of her anonymous police sources
00:50:09.820 who illegally leaked the investigation
00:50:11.940 had used this exact same phrase.
00:50:15.800 Detective Erin McMullen, another officer
00:50:18.220 who filed complaints against Bruce,
00:50:20.020 was recently promoted to sergeant despite a troubling history,
00:50:24.340 including neglect in a domestic violence case
00:50:26.900 that tragically ended in the murder of Hannity Muhammad.
00:50:31.320 A promotion based on merit? Hardly.
00:50:35.540 One might wonder if this was a reward for her role
00:50:38.680 in testifying against Detective Groose.
00:50:41.520 But all this aside, the calculated actions of the Ottawa police,
00:50:45.460 rogue officers, and state-funded CBC
00:50:48.280 achieve their intended goal.
00:50:51.340 Since Detective Groose was suspended and not charged,
00:50:54.640 not a single Canadian police officer has dared to investigate the overwhelming evidence
00:50:59.860 suggesting that those responsible for manufacturing, purchasing,
00:51:04.080 and mandating the vaccines were well aware they were neither safe nor effective.
00:51:09.700 Following Detective Groose's suspension in February of 2022 and desperate for ammunition,
00:51:15.220 The Ottawa police illegally wiretapped Groose and her family, hoping to find incriminating evidence.
00:51:23.060 After two days of surveillance, misusing the urgent emergency terrorism wiretap provisions, they found nothing.
00:51:30.900 Detective Groose's tribunal has been steeped in bias and corruption.
00:51:35.240 Prosecutor Vanessa Stewart, whose sister-in-law testified against Detective Groose,
00:51:39.740 repeatedly interrupted and objected to defense questioning,
00:51:43.800 often before the questions were even fully asked.
00:51:47.360 Stewart has since been replaced by Ottawa law firm Pearlie Robertson,
00:51:51.440 led by Linda Bordelow, who, by the way,
00:51:54.120 is married to former Ottawa police chief Charles Bordelow.
00:51:58.240 Interesting to note, Linda Bordelow was involved in a 2016 conflict of interest scandal
00:52:03.800 that exposed nepotism among top police families in the Ottawa area,
00:52:08.100 including the Bortolo, Callahan, and Thompson families.
00:52:13.260 Deals were made, witnesses were absent,
00:52:15.740 and charges were dropped against a family member and former chief of police.
00:52:20.720 As the saying goes, it's a club, and Detective Helen Groose is not in it.
00:52:26.920 Meanwhile, adjudicator Chris Renwick, presiding over Groose's tribunal,
00:52:31.600 actively undermines her defense at every turn,
00:52:34.460 denying all five expert witnesses, ruling that defense questions be submitted in advance
00:52:40.560 and even at times forbidding Groose from reviewing her own handwritten notes.
00:52:46.100 Professional standards inspector Hugh O'Toole also crossed ethical lines,
00:52:51.120 threatening Groose that she should not present certain evidence in her defense,
00:52:55.280 including internal Ottawa police documents, a clear case of criminal witness tampering
00:53:00.400 and obstruction of justice, according to Gruse's outraged defense lawyers.
00:53:06.220 Within weeks of these allegations surfacing, O'Toole quietly resigned.
00:53:11.220 According to internal police sources, he was strongly advised to step down.
00:53:16.800 Now, as Detective Helen Gruse approaches the final leg of her tribunal,
00:53:21.540 her case has become the longest and most costly prosecution in Ottawa police history.
00:53:27.640 Adding to the injustice, her own police union abandoned her, refusing to cover her legal fees.
00:53:34.820 A stark contrast to the same union's swift support for Eric Post, an officer who faced 32 charges including sexual assault and forcible confinement.
00:53:45.380 Detective Groose's case has ignited serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the duties of police officers to conduct investigations without political interference or fear of retaliation.
00:53:59.540 The outcome of her case will no doubt set a precedent, shaping how politically sensitive investigations are handled in the future.
00:54:06.820 In speaking of the Ottawa police cover-up of the Gruse investigation,
00:54:11.140 retired New York police detective and Medal of Honor recipient Frank Serpico said,
00:54:17.040 Incompetence or criminality will go to any length not to be exposed,
00:54:21.660 even at the cost of innocent infant lives.
00:54:24.780 When courageous officers like Helen Gruse are targeted and punished for pursuing the truth,
00:54:30.600 it falls on us to stand with them.
00:54:32.420 Public awareness is the most powerful weapon we have against injustice, which is why this video is necessary.
00:54:50.300 The question is this.
00:54:53.380 What is your price?
00:54:57.020 Is it $10 million?
00:54:59.160 Is it $20 million?
00:55:00.520 Is it $100 million?
00:55:02.420 what is your price?
00:55:04.180 Because if your price is not your life,
00:55:06.660 then you are for sale.
00:55:11.100 If your price is not your life,
00:55:14.060 then you are for sale.
00:55:27.120 Great piece written and produced by Dave Freedom.
00:55:32.420 I was lucky enough to voice it.
00:55:34.860 I could have done better,
00:55:36.040 but I rushed it because I knew that Helen's tribunal
00:55:39.020 was starting on Monday.
00:55:40.400 This was on Sunday night,
00:55:41.660 and I just wanted him to have the audio
00:55:45.220 so he could work with it,
00:55:46.300 and I know that it takes time
00:55:48.320 to put something like that together,
00:55:49.860 so great job, Dave.
00:55:51.680 Look for Helen Groose's fundraising on Give, Send, Go.
00:55:56.880 Just type into your search Give, Send, Go,
00:55:59.580 and then Helen Groose,
00:56:00.440 and it's spelled, Gruse is spelled G-R-U-S.
00:56:05.780 She's raised $85,000 of $150,000.
00:56:08.760 These are legal funds.
00:56:10.420 This is Helen Gruse standing up for what's right,
00:56:13.560 standing up for her life, really,
00:56:15.000 and standing up for the truth.
00:56:16.620 And I can't even, you know,
00:56:18.820 when I read that script on Sunday night,
00:56:22.700 I knew about this case,
00:56:23.780 but I didn't realize how deep the corruption went
00:56:28.000 and what she has been facing.
00:56:30.440 for these past couple of years now, it's insane. It's insane. So if you, if you're in the position
00:56:38.140 to help Detective Groose out, then please go ahead and do that. All of the people who turned
00:56:42.420 their backs on her, she was very well respected within the Ottawa police service, very well
00:56:47.580 respected. And all of these people who, who double crossed her, all of these people who have been
00:56:53.360 working against her, I mean, that video exposes it all. What have they got to say? Are they going
00:56:59.420 to talk to independent media let's say right blend shows up there daisy shows up there are
00:57:04.240 they going to talk to them no of course they're not they'll talk to the cbc though because cbc's
00:57:09.580 in on it they're in on it it's sickening mark zuckerberg said today that he's removing the
00:57:18.780 fact checkers it's a big announcement it's going to start in the united states and i put this
00:57:24.440 up today on my facebook page and i think on x as well because i want zuckerberg to remove
00:57:31.560 any restrictions that he has put on my page and others like it simply for telling the truth
00:57:36.500 simply for stating fact-checked obvious lab reports scientific analysis
00:57:45.980 because it's usually about you know the vaccine right so zuckerberg says we're going to get rid
00:57:52.560 of these fact checkers. That's the first thing we're going to do. We're going to start in the U.S.
00:57:55.600 But listen to this whole thing. He dropped this video today. It's about five minutes long.
00:58:00.800 It's going to branch out worldwide eventually. So here's Big Zuck.
00:58:06.300 Hey, everyone. I want to talk about something important today because it's time to get back
00:58:11.160 to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram. I started building social media
00:58:16.720 to give people a voice. I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about the importance
00:58:21.320 of protecting free expression, and I still believe this today. But a lot has happened
00:58:26.000 over the last several years. There's been widespread debate about potential harms from
00:58:30.540 online content. Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more. A lot
00:58:36.320 of this is clearly political, but there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there.
00:58:41.000 Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. These are things that we take very seriously, and
00:58:46.100 I want to make sure that we handle responsibly. So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate
00:58:50.640 content. But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. Even if they accidentally
00:58:56.280 censor just 1% of posts, that's millions of people. And we've reached a point where it's
00:59:01.940 just too many mistakes and too much censorship. The recent elections also feel like a cultural
00:59:07.760 tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech. So we're going to get back to our roots
00:59:12.480 and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression
00:59:18.040 on our platforms you know i think he's fos personally i think that trump musk everybody
00:59:27.320 else has threatened him and he's got to do this and if he doesn't do this he's going to be going
00:59:36.220 to prison he will be going to prison for working behind the scenes with the alphabet agencies
00:59:45.580 to allow censorship. He was complicit in breaking the Constitution of the United States of America,
00:59:54.340 allegedly. So he has no choice. Anyway, let's continue on.
00:59:59.040 More specifically, here's what we're going to do. First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers
01:00:04.060 and replace them with community notes similar to X starting in the US. After Trump first got
01:00:10.560 elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote non-stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy.
01:00:17.540 We tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the
01:00:23.120 fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've
01:00:27.640 created, especially in the U.S. So over the next couple of months, we're going to phase in a more
01:00:32.960 comprehensive community notes system. Second, we're going to simplify our content policies and
01:00:39.100 get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch
01:00:44.120 with mainstream discourse. What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly
01:00:49.880 been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it's gone too
01:00:54.720 far. So I want to make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms.
01:01:00.920 Third, we're changing how we enforce our policies to reduce the mistakes that account for the vast
01:01:07.120 majority of censorship on our platforms. We used to have filters that scanned for any policy
01:01:12.540 violation. Now we're going to focus those filters on tackling illegal and high severity violations.
01:01:19.000 And for lower severity violations, we're going to rely on someone reporting an issue before we
01:01:23.900 take action. The problem is that the filters make mistakes and they take down a lot of content that
01:01:29.200 they shouldn't. So by dialing them back, we're going to dramatically reduce the amount of
01:01:33.640 censorship on our platforms. We're also going to tune our content filters to require much higher
01:01:40.340 confidence before taking down content. The reality is that this is a trade-off. It means we're going
01:01:46.100 to catch less bad stuff, but we'll also reduce the number of innocent people's posts and accounts
01:01:51.220 that we accidentally take down. Fourth, we're bringing back civic content. For a while, the
01:01:58.160 community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed, so we stopped recommending
01:02:02.680 these posts but it feels like we're in a new era now and we're starting to get feedback that people
01:02:07.960 want to see this content again oh that is such crap if you don't want to see it you don't have
01:02:13.820 to look at it it's always been like that and the algorithms on facebook and on instagram work that
01:02:20.240 way if you don't click on those posts they don't come across your feed so this is nothing more than
01:02:27.040 a steaming pile of you know. So we're going to start phasing this back into Facebook, Instagram,
01:02:33.780 and threads while working to keep the communities friendly and positive. Fifth, we're going to move
01:02:39.980 our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our US-based
01:02:45.620 content review is going to be based in Texas. Okay, this is awesome. This is awesome. And
01:02:56.920 i'll tell you why because and this is what i've been saying about government you know those who
01:03:02.700 work for the federal government not just in canada but everywhere you take those people out of
01:03:06.320 washington you take them out of ottawa you take provincial capitals and take the people out of
01:03:11.860 winnipeg and edmonton and vagina and victoria and you put them in a small town and you eventually
01:03:17.440 start to take on the attitudes of the people around you that's what happens that's what happens
01:03:24.980 right so he's taking these moderators and he's he's taking them out of california
01:03:31.920 maybe just fire all those people and hire some new ones all wearing cowboy hats in texas
01:03:36.860 that's gonna be classic as we work to promote free expression i think that will help us build trust
01:03:43.960 to do this work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams
01:03:48.320 finally we're going to work with president trump to push back on governments around the world
01:03:54.500 they're going after American companies and pushing to censor more.
01:03:58.840 The U.S. has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world.
01:04:03.260 Okay, guys, this is the important part.
01:04:05.880 If you wonder if Canada will benefit from this,
01:04:09.080 first of all, Polyev or some other right-wing politician
01:04:12.360 has to win an election in Canada so we can get rid of C-18 and C-11.
01:04:16.860 C-63 is dead, by the way. It's dead. It's gone.
01:04:20.360 But we got to get rid of these other two censorship bills, 11 and 18.
01:04:24.500 So once those are gone, then Canada can't do anything to do censorship at all because there won't be a law in place.
01:04:33.000 And theoretically, they shouldn't be able to do it even now because it is unconstitutional here as well.
01:04:38.880 There is no emergency in place. The Section 1 of the Charter wouldn't apply.
01:04:42.700 But anyway, this is extremely important, this part here.
01:04:47.060 Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there.
01:04:54.500 Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to quietly take things down.
01:05:00.600 China has censored our apps from even working in the country.
01:05:03.960 The only way that we can push back on this global trend is with the support of the U.S. government.
01:05:10.460 And that's why it's been so difficult over the past four years when even the U.S. government has pushed for censorship.
01:05:16.380 By going after us and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further.
01:05:23.000 But now we have the opportunity to restore free expression, and I am excited to take it.
01:05:28.780 It'll take time to get this right, and these are complex systems.
01:05:32.340 They're never going to be perfect.
01:05:33.940 There's also a lot of illegal stuff that we still need to work very hard to remove.
01:05:38.840 But the bottom line is that after years of having our content moderation work
01:05:43.460 focus primarily on removing content, it is time to focus on reducing the stakes,
01:05:49.080 simplifying our systems.
01:05:50.800 You hear what he said there?
01:05:51.660 after years of having work primarily to removing content that's all they've been doing on facebook
01:06:00.000 for the past few years that's amazing to me getting back to our roots about giving people
01:06:05.380 voice i'm looking forward to this next chapter stay good out there and more to come soon
01:06:10.640 mark zuckerberg i'm looking forward to free speech somebody asked in the comments hey why
01:06:18.860 texas why did they pick texas well they look at texas as kind of a purple state even though it's
01:06:23.800 not it's a red state but they see it as a purple state so there's equal amount democrats equal
01:06:29.200 amount republicans uh equal amount right equal amount left and so it's a more balanced society
01:06:34.540 and maybe in the big cities they got a point so what they should do is is put this new facebook
01:06:40.080 operation they're moving to texas right in the middle right in the middle small city
01:06:45.940 small town yeehaw baby let's go where everybody wears big belt buckles and cowboy hats that's
01:06:57.580 what i want to see meta employees even now are complaining they're criticizing zuckerberg in
01:07:03.240 this decision but zuckerberg says okay i'm going to add dana white to the board of directors
01:07:07.480 from ufc that dana white the one who has been raving against censorship for the past five years
01:07:15.440 meta employees took to their internal forum criticizing the company's decision to end
01:07:20.780 third-party fact-checking on its services two weeks before trump's inauguration one worker
01:07:25.840 and it said it appears meta is sending a bigger stronger message to people that facts no longer
01:07:31.100 matter and conflating that with a victory for free speech no no no no no no no no no no no
01:07:39.880 No. No. Again, this person misses the point. Free speech could be free speech, whether a person is
01:07:50.300 right or wrong, right? And if they say something that is harmful to another person, that person
01:07:58.160 can sue the person who wrote it. That's how things work. Facebook shouldn't have to worry
01:08:06.100 about that stuff because they're not a publisher. They're not responsible for what somebody puts on
01:08:10.620 their post. That's the way it's always been. There never should have been any censorship to begin
01:08:16.880 with. The announcement comes a day after Meta announced that UFC CEO and longtime Trump friend
01:08:22.680 Dana White is joining the board of directors. So do you think that Zuckerberg is serious and does
01:08:27.920 he have some explaining to do for the past five years? Well, Breanne Dressen thinks so. Breanne
01:08:35.060 is vaccine injured. She's a mother of two injured AstraZeneca clinical trial participant, now
01:08:40.940 disabled. Vaccine injury advocate, and she is the co-founder of React 19. You may have heard of that
01:08:48.460 organization. He says, Mr. Zuckerberg, you owe a lot of families an apology. Anyone who questioned
01:08:55.240 vaccines, anyone who questioned mandates, anyone harmed by vaccines, anyone who lost their support
01:09:01.960 network due to your censorship, anyone in support groups that were abruptly shut down, anyone who
01:09:07.560 ended their lives due to being silenced. Facebook literally drove vaccine-injured people into
01:09:14.000 isolation, sometimes ending in death. Mr. Zuckerberg, how are you going to make this right?
01:09:22.000 all right that is it for the show tonight on social media we're going to continue on
01:09:31.700 shadowdavis.com with all access members uh for the extension in just a couple of minutes and
