00:05:00.000 hello everybody welcome to shadow at night this is monday march the 3rd 2025 and on the show
00:05:17.420 tonight tariffs tariffs they take effect at midnight tonight donald trump says there's no
00:05:21.440 room for negotiation there is absolutely no way for canada or mexico for that matter to wriggle
00:05:27.060 off the hook and he's also increased the tariffs on china from 10 to 20 i think ours stay the same
00:05:33.100 at 25 so doug ford has responded all the premiers i'm sure in each province have had a press
00:05:41.040 conference with what they're planning to do and justin trudeau i don't know where the hell and
00:05:45.860 again it's his last week so he's out juicing it up hanging out with the king making war with ukraine
00:05:52.760 you may have noticed a lot of virtue signaling on social media for the past couple of days
00:05:59.520 i stand with ukraine slava ukraine and you know i'm sick of it so i've gotten into a couple of
00:06:07.940 barn burners let's just call them with some people that i know personally like actually physically i
00:06:14.820 know them and they're putting up the flag i stand with ukraine right and donald trump's a bad bad man
00:06:22.760 And so I thought, you know, I've got to find some video tonight from some really highly respected people who break it down exactly how this conflict started.
00:06:32.780 And it wasn't three years ago. It wasn't 2014. It was actually, if you want to go way back and we could go way back centuries, but we're not going to 1990 and then 1992 officially.
00:06:45.500 glass nosed and then the fallout from the breakup of the soviet union and the nuclear weapons and
00:06:52.620 the north atlantic uh treaty organization moving further and further east and so yeah i thought
00:07:02.660 you know i'm gonna find some video and and so you guys can go and talk to these virtue signalers
00:07:07.700 online who have no idea what they're talking about they don't have any idea what they're
00:07:13.020 talking about believe me when i tell you tell them if they stand with ukraine to buy a plane
00:07:18.180 trick it go over there pick up a rifle stand a post and ask them would you send your kids over
00:07:26.040 there would you send your grandkids over there to die for what russian aggression it's russian
00:07:32.720 aggression i'll tell you what if putin wanted ukraine all of it because he's got crimea and
00:07:39.400 donbass now if he wanted all of it he would have it by now his military is so vastly superior to
00:07:45.760 anything that ukraine has even with the the hardware coming in from europe and canada and
00:07:52.500 the united states it doesn't matter manpower the russians would have rolled over them if
00:07:58.880 they wanted to advance but clearly they don't so anyway all that coming up a little bit later on
00:08:04.460 the show mark carney as we all know is probably going to be our unelected prime minister as of
00:08:11.820 this time next week and he wants to impose carbon tariffs carbon tariffs they're using them
00:08:19.260 apparently already in europe our guest tonight michelle sterling from friends of science is
00:08:23.700 going to break that down and a whole bunch of other things as well we're going to talk about
00:08:26.660 the climate cartel she is so knowledgeable about this stuff we had a great conversation on the
00:08:31.320 phone last week and then just a little bit a few minutes ago i'm going to bring her on in just a
00:08:35.720 couple of moments the shadow at night live stream as always is brought to you by canada nano silver
00:08:41.540 canadananosilver.com they're going to be at the women's show at the winnipeg convention center
00:08:46.800 this coming weekend saturday and sunday and kev tells me that today just this morning they got
00:08:53.040 their brand new shipment of immune gummies in i told them kev they're probably going to sell out
00:08:58.680 this weekend because people love them so much. Immune gummies. They're like gummy bears, all the
00:09:05.180 different flavors, but they help to keep you healthy. And one thing you have to do, you got
00:09:09.940 to buy them in bulk, obviously. You got to buy more than one bottle, but then you got to keep
00:09:14.900 them away from the kids because the kids are going to want to eat them like candy. They'll be healthy
00:09:19.080 as hell. But all of your immune gummies are going to be gone. So when you do buy your immune gummies,
00:09:27.260 whether you buy them off the website or you buy them this weekend at the
00:09:29.720 Winnipeg Women's Show at the Winnipeg Convention Center.
00:09:32.880 Again, going Saturday and Sunday.
00:09:34.120 More details as we get closer to the weekend.
00:09:38.420 Remember to keep them out of the reach of little kids.
00:09:40.960 They've got all the great products going to be there this weekend.
00:09:43.580 The nano silver liquid, the nano silver gel pump, the naked bandage,
00:09:47.460 the immune support, the toothpaste, the skin cream, you name it.
00:09:50.820 It's all going to be at the Winnipeg Convention Center for the Women's Show
00:09:53.920 this coming weekend.
00:09:54.640 If you want to order online before they sell out of everything and have to restock, you can do that online at CanadaNanoSilver.com, or you can find a retail location near you on the Retail Locations tab, CanadaNanoSilver.com.
00:10:09.040 Again, that is CanadaNanoSilver.com.
00:10:12.760 Let's go say some quick hellos.
00:10:14.220 Who's in the house tonight?
00:10:15.220 Frank is watching from Ontario on Facebook.
00:10:17.460 Hello, Frank.
00:10:17.960 Oh, speaking of Facebook, our friend Wayne Peters of What's Up Canada had his show.
00:10:22.960 it wasn't taken down off facebook tonight but he tells me that they kicked out all of his viewers
00:10:30.200 weird i don't know what he was talking about to get to that point but he was still allowed
00:10:35.980 to stream on facebook but nobody was allowed to see it i've never heard of that before so
00:10:42.880 prepare for something like that on this show tonight if we push a couple of the wrong buttons
00:10:47.900 and i'm sure we probably will we're talking about climate change here for goodness sakes
00:10:52.540 make sure you follow the show on alternate sources like x at shadow davis you can follow the show
00:10:58.600 on rumble the shadow davis show you can follow the show on twitch if you want and follow the
00:11:03.780 show on telegram the shadow at night community the group there go and join that and you can
00:11:08.440 also become an all access member at shadow davis.com hello david colleen ben skaben
00:11:16.060 okay i've i've never never seen that before ben skaben maybe that's a last name first
00:11:25.720 situation doreen's watching tonight in i don't know where but susan's watching in scarborough
00:11:30.760 and quickly over on rumble let's go say hello to cosford uniaki breadbag 33 is watching in
00:11:36.980 the chuck hello l wick in olds hello risnan 3pr looks like you gave a rumble rant from
00:11:44.460 ender c ender b bc so thank you very much for that firebird 64 is watching chicken hair notable
00:11:51.500 wj walker vilma roween gary goodman all you great folks on rumble thank you for being here don't
00:11:59.480 forget to like and share you guys get this out to as many people as you possibly can this information
00:12:04.960 is very important for when you're arguing with the normies out there we're going to be right back
00:12:10.160 with our guest tonight, Michelle Sterling
00:12:12.120 from Friends of Science
00:12:13.740 in exactly 22 seconds.
00:12:15.720 hello welcome back michelle thank you for being on the show tonight really appreciate you
00:12:45.580 taking the time and by the way i wanted to uh once again congratulate you i had heard of your
00:12:51.960 organization before friends of science but i hadn't really seen too much about it and you know with
00:12:57.960 everything going on i you get distracted right and then your hockey stick video dropped for the week
00:13:03.980 before and wow did that get a lot of traction that was great thank you for that video my pleasure it
00:13:09.680 was pretty cold that day let me tell you i took one for the team also because i had to wear that
00:13:14.280 oiler's sweater and i'm really a flames girl but that's it you know sometimes you got to do what
00:13:20.680 you got to do can you explain quickly to the people who are watching right now and and you
00:13:26.020 also pointed out to me on the phone last week that you're not a scientist you're you're the
00:13:30.260 friends of science spokesperson but you know one heck of a lot about all of this stuff
00:13:34.920 can you explain that hockey stick graph that you were discussing on the video last week for the
00:13:41.040 people who haven't seen it? Well, there were two items associated with the hockey stick. One is
00:13:48.480 in the third intergovernmental panel on climate change report, there was this graph that sort of
00:13:56.580 came out of nowhere that looked rather like a hockey stick. It was flat, and then there was a
00:14:02.100 sudden sweep up. And this seemed to suggest that before 1860 or so, there had been no change in
00:14:12.680 temperature. And only when we hit 1860 and the more industrialized type of society that we have
00:14:19.800 today, boom, the temperature went up. Now, most people who know something about climate know that
00:14:32.100 it's more like this you know there are hold it a little higher up there we go okay so there
00:14:42.280 there are phases of warming and cooling they're cyclical but they're not in in um stable cycles
00:14:50.560 and if you have greta's book you probably have seen she only shows sort of this uh
00:14:55.800 this part right so when you look at only that part of the graph then you see it wow it was
00:15:04.780 cold and then boom it got really hot but when you look at the whole graph you can see that it's
00:15:11.220 cyclical so this is just representational of course but um the point being that when this hockey
00:15:19.760 hockey stick graph came out a fellow named steve mcintyre who was a mining consultant looked at
00:15:27.940 it and went wow that looks just like all those scam mining deals that they put out there
00:15:33.360 because you know everybody says oh look we're gonna you know uh invest and build up the plant
00:15:39.540 and the processing and then boom we'll have a lot of money so uh he was very curious when he
00:15:45.240 saw that hockey stick graph related to climate because it reminded him of these mining scams
00:15:51.100 and so he and Dr. Ross McKittrick started looking into the statistical nature of this graph and
00:15:57.860 they found that it was very flawed and Mark Stein even wrote a book about it I forget what it's
00:16:04.680 called anyway you know it's a very famous book by him you know I find it interesting that I had it
00:16:13.040 explained to me i'm going to say a year ago by a guy who said you know and and when the years roll
00:16:19.100 on and all of these weather stations the ones that take the temperature readings keep taking
00:16:23.680 temperature readings they haven't moved these weather stations these points of uh stats for
00:16:31.820 years and the cities have grown around them which is creating more heat from more people and uh from
00:16:40.780 the city itself with all of the industrial activity and more cars and whatnot so naturally
00:16:45.360 the temperatures are going to warm up at these places where they used to be in the middle of
00:16:49.140 the country before you know exposed to all kinds of uh wind and rain and now they're not they're
00:16:55.420 sheltered from from city life and why don't they ever take any of that into account oh well some
00:17:02.540 people do and um i think if you look at roger plk senior's work on the uh on land use and its
00:17:11.840 effect on climate change there's one little illustration he's got in there of the city of
00:17:16.540 london england where i think there's something like an 11 degree celsius difference in temperature
00:17:23.140 from the inner core of the city out to the country um and you can see that yourself you know when you
00:17:29.300 leave the city, or if you live in a rural community, your temperatures are always going
00:17:34.860 to be about four or five degrees less than in the city. And exactly as you say, it's that urban
00:17:40.700 heat island effect. And so sometimes this is taken into account when they do some of the
00:17:48.160 adjustments that they do to temperature records. But, you know, there's also this phenomenon of
00:17:55.560 ghost stations where there isn't a station there anymore but they're still reporting data
00:18:01.560 from a station that's not reporting what a fellow named john shoe chuck uh who's a retired
00:18:08.180 meteorologist on uh twitter you'll find him on x and he's always reporting on these ghost stations
00:18:15.900 where they're just making up data and do things like they they will interpolate the temperatures
00:18:23.440 between uh i think it's in the giss data set they will interpolate the temperatures between
00:18:32.880 in a 1200 kilometer range so you know that's 1200 kilometers that's like edmonton to vancouver
00:18:41.120 like there's a lot of different temperatures between those two places right so i'll tell
00:18:46.620 yeah a few years ago i i was in where was i i was in uh oh it's in the bc interior and i drove to
00:18:55.460 edmonton and in the bc interior nelson i was it was like 33 degrees it was hot right and and buddy
00:19:03.740 said you got to come to edmonton uh playing a golf tournament this weekend so i drove all the way
00:19:08.640 from nelson to edmonton and it was five degrees in edmonton five yeah and i did not have the right
00:19:17.420 clothes for it and i thought okay this is great and i got back to nelson uh two days later and
00:19:21.860 it was still 32 or 33 degrees and that's not even as far as edmonton to vancouver so you're right i
00:19:27.440 mean you're talking about a 1200 mile or even kilometer distance i mean how can you accurately
00:19:33.220 gauge what a temperature is going to be at any point in between that and not to mention you know
00:19:38.720 then they're they're uh suggesting that temperatures are like hottest year ever by uh 0.12 degrees
00:19:47.460 celsius or something like that you know like these are immeasurable temperatures and you can't
00:19:52.900 average out all of these temperatures and then come to this precise conclusion of this is what
00:19:59.040 the global average temperature is that's impossible it's ludicrous not to mention you know oceans are
00:20:05.680 70 percent of the earth's surface right and for the longest time the only measurement that we had
00:20:12.360 from oceans were from ships taking records as they passed but ships normally went on very specific
00:20:20.420 kind of routes so you wouldn't get any readings from other places and they used to send down
00:20:25.500 thermometers you know they had a special kind of bucket thermometer system um you know and just
00:20:31.680 imagine on a really horrible night you're on a ship and you have to go out and take the reading
00:20:35.760 are you kidding me you know you're going to do your best but honestly are you going to fall off
00:20:41.700 the ship just to get the temperature reading i wouldn't i'd go back inside and write down whatever
00:20:46.620 i thought i was right anyway feels like 42 and a little bit of rain yeah so now what they've done
00:20:54.480 And this is a good thing. They have launched all of these Argo boys, which are like drones that gather data and they've launched hundreds, thousands of them, actually.
00:21:09.240 But still, you know, the ocean is very, very big. So you can go and look on the Argo drone site and read about them.
00:21:14.840 I think it's been out there since about 2000 and they keep adding more every year.
00:21:19.320 so it's good because we're getting a better reading but you know we're still not
00:21:24.820 getting accurate readings from equidistant points all over the world and places like russia for
00:21:31.360 instance um you know a lot of the like that's one sixth of the world's landmass and a lot of
00:21:38.900 the stations are not maintained or have been abandoned. So, you know, the kind of precision
00:21:48.660 science that they offer people and scare people with isn't very precise. And it's really improper
00:21:56.200 that they're using data like that to scare people. It's wrong. You know, it's interesting.
00:22:01.300 And I want to get you to tell us all about the Friends of Science. I know you guys have been
00:22:05.040 around for over 20 years now and and i want people to know exactly what the organization's all about
00:22:09.860 but i do want to get into the conversation about the climate scam because you know what you and i
00:22:16.380 were talking about on the phone the other day was like to me mind-blowing and that was only the tip
00:22:21.100 of the iceberg so uh let's start with telling us about the organization and then we can start
00:22:26.320 talking about all the other stuff okay well friends of science is a small non-profit we've
00:22:32.880 been operating this is going to be our 23rd year and we are volunteer run we operate on about 150
00:22:40.020 thousand dollars a year from our member members and donors and we have a group of earth atmospheric
00:22:50.580 solar scientists professional engineers professional geoscientists and we're also
00:22:57.120 connected with the clintel network out of holland and clintel has over about over 1900 signatory
00:23:05.100 scholars and scientists who say that there's no climate emergency and they give the reasons why
00:23:10.900 in the world climate declaration so you know our view is and always has been that the sun is the
00:23:17.580 main driver of climate change and basically what we do we operate like a tiny little ipcc if you
00:23:23.740 In that, you know, we gather other people's reports, peer-reviewed studies, and then we issue commentaries on them to try and...
00:23:32.560 But the difference between, I'm sorry to interrupt you, between you and the IPCC is that you actually, you just described, you have scientists who have worked in this field for decades, retired and active.
00:23:46.880 And the IPCC, from what I understand, is just a mouthpiece organization.
00:23:51.020 It has no actual scientists working within it.
00:23:55.200 Well, I would not say that.
00:23:57.080 Like the IPCC generally, like they have a governing board and then they gather a number of scientists from around the world.
00:24:04.540 Every well, they gather them every six years to write the new report.
00:24:09.940 And so if you look at the news lately, President Trump has forbidden American scientists from going to the planning meeting of the next report, which will be their seventh report.
00:24:22.920 And he's also pulled funding.
00:24:25.100 So that IPCC report might be a little sparse, but they do have real scientists.
00:24:32.060 And see, they issue three reports.
00:24:35.280 But this is the thing.
00:24:36.440 The first report is the working group.
00:24:41.340 The working group one is the physical scientists.
00:24:45.640 So this is the real science.
00:24:48.120 And these reports are often quite good, quite scientific, of course.
00:24:52.320 They're like about 2,000 or more pages long.
00:24:56.200 So almost no one reads them except for other scientists.
00:25:00.560 And they're indecipherable to bureaucrats.
00:25:03.680 So what they do is they take that report and they do what's called an SPM, Summary for Policymakers.
00:25:10.280 So largely environmentalists are involved in the writing of this, and they throw in all the crazy stuff, Code Red for Humanity, and they put in all the scary graphs like the hockey stick type of graph.
00:25:23.500 in the most uh when was it yeah the most recent report they had what we called in the climate
00:25:30.360 community we called it the son of hockey stick because they had another hockey stick in the
00:25:36.220 summary for policymakers which is only 40 pages long so any bureaucrat can read it and it's in
00:25:42.500 much simpler language but that hockey stick graph did not appear in the science report
00:25:48.160 Of course not.
00:25:49.760 And then they have two other kinds of reports.
00:25:54.300 One is on mitigation, how to address climate change,
00:25:59.380 and the other one is on socioeconomics.
00:26:02.120 And at one point, Richard Toll, who's an economist,
00:26:07.320 he refused to sign off on the report because he said it was just far too alarmist.
00:26:14.260 so you see there there have been disputes between scientists and of course those people don't get
00:26:19.920 asked back right um michelle is there climate change something that human beings need to worry
00:26:30.660 about or is what's going on in the planet right now the same thing that's always been going on
00:26:36.480 on the planet well i would say that most of what's going on is what's always been going on
00:26:41.800 We probably add a little bit to it in terms of warming, but a lot of that is related to things like our land use and water diversion, which are very big things.
00:26:55.040 And again, I refer you to Roger Pielke Sr.'s work.
00:26:58.980 His son, Roger Pielke Jr., also does a lot of work on climate issues, but more on climate policy.
00:27:05.460 But his father does the more scientific papers on things like land use and how it affects regional climate.
00:27:18.120 But if you look historically, and this is what I like to do.
00:27:21.200 In fact, this is where I got interested in the whole climate thing.
00:27:24.500 I was reading Barbara Tuchman's book, A Distant Mirror.
00:27:29.500 And it's a story of this prince in the 13th century.
00:27:33.060 And he wanted to go to war.
00:27:34.620 But every time he started off to go to war, it started just pouring rain, like rain, rain, rain, rain.
00:27:41.460 And in Northern Europe, in the UK, in the start of the 1300s, there was like two or three years of almost nonstop rain.
00:27:51.520 Like, that's hard to believe, but it happened.
00:27:55.200 And so that's a natural event.
00:27:58.840 That can happen anytime.
00:28:00.180 Or like when the Spanish Armada got taken out by a huge gale force storm.
00:28:06.700 That was also in that kind of little ice age period.
00:28:12.300 But before that, there was like the medieval warm period, you know, and that was a time when crops were abundant, cathedrals, castles were built.
00:28:21.380 You know, because people had food and they were healthy and they had time on their hands because they didn't have to worry about their cattle or their crops.
00:28:31.260 So when it's a warm period, you have prosperity and abundance.
00:28:35.360 And when it's a cold period, you have famine and lots of trouble, lots of civil unrest.
00:28:40.760 So I also like to refer people, and some people don't like it when I do this.
00:28:45.720 They say it sounds too corny.
00:28:47.160 But I say the two most popular stage musicals and movies were Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Raincoat, which is set on the backdrop of Feast and Famine in Egypt, right?
00:29:03.600 Seven Fat Cows Eaten by Seven Thin Cows, the biblical story of Exodus, right?
00:29:08.740 of Joseph. And then the other one is Les Miserables, which was at the end of the Little
00:29:15.860 Ice Age, which just preceded our present warming time. And again, you know, lots of rain, people
00:29:23.280 were hungry, times of famine, people were stealing bread. That's how the main character ended up in
00:29:28.980 jail, because he stole bread for his starving sister. So, you know, when you look at those
00:29:34.300 stories, you see that climate change can dramatically affect people's lives, natural
00:29:40.600 climate change. But, you know, we can't control that. Those things happen because of that cyclical
00:29:47.520 nature, as I showed you with the color chart. And that's largely related to solar cycles,
00:29:54.080 as well as related cycles on Earth, like the ocean currents.
00:30:00.120 you know interestingly um i you know when you whenever you open your iphone up first thing in
00:30:07.060 the morning or whatever and it goes to the apple news immediately and there's some lame story out
00:30:12.120 there climate change is this and that and um i i've seen a few stories in the last couple of
00:30:20.460 weeks i found incredibly interesting one was a bunch of scientists have discovered this chasm
00:30:26.140 I think it's down far into the ocean near Iceland or something.
00:30:31.180 And it goes very, very deep.
00:30:33.000 And they'd never seen it before.
00:30:35.420 And I'm thinking to myself, all right, okay, so we've got all of these things.
00:30:40.700 Remember, we're talking about a planet here, people.
00:30:43.520 This is a planet we're talking about.
00:30:45.720 It's a planet, right?
00:30:47.620 And the planet's going to do what the planet's going to do.
00:30:50.320 And there's so many things that we haven't yet discovered on our planet.
00:30:54.280 and then you start thinking well you know if there is any of this climate change could this
00:30:59.120 have something to do with it this huge massive gaping hole that could go right to the core of
00:31:05.180 the earth could that be somehow creating tides that warm could that be the cause of el nino or
00:31:11.120 or you know i mean all of these different things but nobody ever asks questions like that because
00:31:16.560 you can't well yeah they won't let you yeah uh well actually professor wis yim who uh is uh
00:31:25.820 based in hong kong he's done quite a bit on um subsurface geothermal activity meaning you know
00:31:33.200 volcanic activity under the ocean and that superheats certain streams of water which in turn
00:31:41.020 he ascribes you know sea ice melt like Roy's told oh the sea ice Arctic sea ice is melting you know
00:31:47.600 because of human use of fossil fuels but he has tracked it down and said well no actually it's
00:31:54.560 melting because you know down here by Chile there was this eruption under the ocean and you can see
00:32:01.120 the the stream of water goes up here and then there was ice melt so you know he's tracked this
00:32:07.300 in a fairly specific way and uh makes way more sense to me like heat rises right i mean you see
00:32:15.960 all of these media sources you know especially they've been ramping this up in the past five
00:32:21.480 or ten years where you know a weather channel right and they're gonna tell you what the high
00:32:26.400 is tomorrow i mean i saw one last summer it was a european weather forecast and the high was like
00:32:33.100 maybe 22 or 23 and that was all across central europe so we're talking about paris we're talking
00:32:37.860 about berlin and all of those countries and the the map that coincided with these predicted highs
00:32:46.440 was like flaming red and orange and then and you look back at one of these uh weather forecasts
00:32:53.900 from 10 years previous to that it was green and yellow and beautiful and comfortable you know and
00:33:00.060 then the fires in Australia a couple years ago they said well look at this picture taken from
00:33:03.900 the space station up there Australia is on fire oh my god you people like no it's that's not a
00:33:10.980 real picture that did you ever see that one I don't think I saw that one oh he probably made
00:33:16.360 you mad but I've seen quite a bit about the Australian wildfires and we actually did a video
00:33:22.080 about Australian wildfires and also a blog post which is on our blog and Facebook won't let us
00:33:31.540 post the video anymore. Really? Yeah no and also I did a video when Clintel first started. When
00:33:39.620 Clintel first started this was about six years ago they sent out a press release and because we have
00:33:46.320 a press distribution system I thought well you know what this is a good announcement that Clintel
00:33:50.640 as starting this group of scientists who hold dissenting views, scientific views. So I sent
00:33:56.800 out their press release as part of our press service. And I think I sent it to like 500 media
00:34:03.860 outlets in Canada. No one picked it up, not one. So I was furious. I mean, I didn't expect everybody
00:34:09.980 to pick it up. But I thought this is certainly newsworthy. So I thought, you know what, I'll just
00:34:14.200 read the darn thing on camera. And however many people we have viewing, then at least I'll reach
00:34:20.420 someone so i read it and we posted it and then we kind of forgot about it went on with our work and
00:34:25.960 then we started getting phone calls and emails and asking where's where's the clintel declaration
00:34:31.060 and and we thought what's going on so we looked at back at the youtube stats and it was like 300 000
00:34:38.640 views and this thing took off it got up to 700 000 views and facebook won't let anybody post it
00:34:46.280 anymore it's amazing maybe they've changed their tune on that one uh in the last couple of months
00:34:52.340 i've noticed they've they've let certain things that they never used to let go now they're letting
00:34:57.480 them go and i think that may be because of zuckerberg's declaration to trump a few months
00:35:02.260 ago about censorship and whatnot but that was only for the united states i'm not sure if it's
00:35:07.680 reached canada yet and i know with these these uh censorship laws that trudeau's and got in place
00:35:13.380 he's it's probably the government that's doing the censoring here not necessarily meta but we
00:35:19.160 don't know for sure because nobody in canada does the investigative reporting like they do in the
00:35:23.740 united states which brings me to a guy named michael schellenberger are you familiar with him
00:35:29.020 yes okay so he's a an investigative journalist down there for anybody who doesn't know he's
00:35:35.080 also written a book he used to be a climate alarmist and he's fully admits it and so he uh
00:35:40.520 i think the story was um that his young daughter he saw her sobbing herself to sleep one night
00:35:48.980 and he went in and he asked her what what was wrong and she said the world is gonna end the
00:35:54.380 world is gonna end and then he realized in that moment that he was partially responsible for
00:36:01.380 creating that narrative that has completely paralyzed a large group of people i mean they're
00:36:06.320 teaching this in schools now it's all over media you know people talk about well you know winter
00:36:12.320 is not as cold as it used to be i almost slapped the guy the other day you know like i walked into
00:36:17.700 a gas station yeah this guy said it's not normally like this he was talking to some
00:36:21.960 pakistani immigrant uh you know so it's your first year here yeah it's not that cold i thought
00:36:26.920 it was going to be colder well it normally is but climate change i said shut up you don't even know
00:36:31.520 what you're talking about it's a mild snap right now last week it was minus 30 you dumbass
00:36:37.500 anyway he wrote this book called apocalypse apocalypse never shellenberger did and i thought
00:36:44.800 finally finally somebody has done something and i'm going to say this was maybe three or four
00:36:52.400 years ago and i thought all the big mainstream media was going to pick it up because censorship
00:36:56.820 wasn't a thing yet like and i never ever thought that it was ever going to be at that stage
00:37:03.080 and nobody touched it not even tucker carlson he was still on fox news at that point nobody
00:37:10.020 nobody gave him an interview i think the only one i saw may have been with glenn beck from the blaze
00:37:16.040 and that was on a little known social media channel at that time called rumble and i thought
00:37:21.760 wow, they're doing their best to bury this stuff. How frustrating is that for you and the scientists
00:37:27.860 you work with? And how badly has your organization been attacked by these fear mongers?
00:37:35.800 Oh, well, it's really bad for us. Like when we started in 2002, what we did, because we're a
00:37:43.120 small group, I wasn't with the group then, I joined about 10 years later. But what we have done is
00:37:49.780 every year we would have a guest speaker who held a dissenting view on climate. And then we would
00:37:56.960 have a big, you know, luncheon or dinner hosting that person. And we would, you know, send out
00:38:04.240 invites to the press to interview the person. So this is how we would get a platform for the
00:38:09.720 message and for the first five or six years we got press coverage around 2007 we stopped getting
00:38:20.960 press coverage and from that time forward it was almost impossible to get in the press in Canada
00:38:26.800 for our organization or if we were mentioned we were only smeared as deniers you know often as
00:38:35.420 well-known deniers right let me ask you this is this a very interesting question because
00:38:41.160 you know from the different sources we hear about this this climate narrative that's been going on
00:38:47.660 for 50 years now maurice strong and and the limits to growth and all of that nonsense from the 1970s
00:38:53.460 and there was acid rain there was going to be a a new ice age and and you know a hole in the ozone
00:38:59.160 and all of that stuff when you first started becoming shunned by the media and then they
00:39:08.280 started attacking you as being deniers like how shocking was that the first time that you
00:39:14.000 experienced that it must have been like what well it it was pretty shocking i mean of course some of
00:39:20.960 this happened before i came on board when when i was contracted to work with friends of science
00:39:26.160 You know, I thought it would be a fairly simple thing to just have a few press releases written up and sent out, and they hadn't had anybody doing that on a specific or regular basis.
00:39:36.460 They had only done nominal press releases for their events, right?
00:39:42.140 So, you know, I sent out a few press releases, and we got minor pickup in a few distant places.
00:39:49.180 Troy Media picked us up a little bit.
00:39:52.060 But then the noose seemed to tighten.
00:39:57.200 And it's quite interesting when I read some of the grant documents that went to some of the big environmental charities.
00:40:04.660 Some of them were given money to make sure that messages like ours would not reach the public.
00:40:11.320 So I assume that they were meeting behind the scenes with media people and telling them, oh, those guys are a bunch of deniers.
00:40:19.800 I can't prove that, but I can see why also the media would be more interested in their story.
00:40:28.080 All of the ENGOs have a lot of money.
00:40:30.740 Many of them buy large advertising spreads in some of the magazines and such like.
00:40:40.280 Their story is more headline-oriented than ours.
00:40:44.120 You know, we're saying, calm down, there's no climate emergency.
00:40:47.180 and they're saying my name's Greta our house is on fire you know so which one's going to sell more
00:40:54.620 papers so but it was shocking like at one point we ran an ad and then newspaper it started running
00:41:05.640 and then the newspaper called us and said we have to take your ad down because we're getting shredded
00:41:11.140 by the environmental groups um so that was wild so they attack you through uh people that you do
00:41:21.000 business with a much like the covid response and the ukraine response and it's the same playbook
00:41:27.620 over and over again right yeah like when we so uh at that point we thought okay maybe we'll do a
00:41:33.400 billboard. So we did a billboard and it got rave reviews from ordinary people. But our media
00:41:42.340 provider, which was Patterson Media at the time, they were just inundated with streams of phone
00:41:49.600 calls and hate and emails. And of course, one of these ENGOs, which is a federally registered
00:41:56.700 charity, the Sierra Club, they had posted the names and email addresses and phone numbers of
00:42:02.660 the senior executives at Patterson. And so people were just bombarding these guys. And they're,
00:42:08.520 you know, they're a legal business. They provided a service to us. We paid for it. Like nobody should
00:42:15.120 have to go through that, especially from a federally registered charity. So we also sent
00:42:21.540 a complaint to the CRA about that. But, you know, we're such a small group and these groups have
00:42:27.660 like millions of dollars we've got four reports on our website on engo charities and how much
00:42:36.080 money they have received and uh like the tides you know michelle i'm sorry to interrupt you do
00:42:41.540 you know where that money comes from is it is it from unknown sources or is it funneled through
00:42:46.700 ngo ngo ngo so it's untraceable unless you really have a lot of time and patience uh some of it is
00:42:53.720 traceable a lot of it comes from the government if you would can believe that it's really
00:42:59.160 frustrating huge amount not only trudeau also the provinces also municipalities um i think a lot of
00:43:06.080 times now they just sort of contract them they give them a consulting job hoping that you know
00:43:12.380 that will get them to shut up so they can actually get something done otherwise these guys always
00:43:17.980 jump in and block things they want a longer approval time they want to go back and look at
00:43:22.200 The GHGs, it'll be generated.
00:43:25.320 So, no, they have huge, huge amounts of money.
00:43:30.160 Some of it is foreign money.
00:43:31.840 Some of it goes through these donor-advised accounts where it's untraceable.
00:43:37.240 Some of it bounces between these groups.
00:43:41.180 Some of it goes to groups like the Canadian Climate Institute.
00:43:45.000 At one point, they were 97% funded by the federal government as a charity.
00:43:50.520 You used that word 97% or the number 97.
00:43:53.460 That seems to have a lot to do with climate, doesn't it?
00:43:55.960 Like, well, 97% of scientists agree.
00:43:59.540 Yeah, that's actually the first report that I did with Ken Gregory
00:44:03.520 and a number of other people on our team
00:44:06.840 because I kept hearing about this 97% consensus.
00:44:12.360 And to me, that sounded like an advertising pitch
00:44:14.760 because I worked in advertising and marketing in my career as well, right?
00:44:18.020 And so I said, well, how can you have four different surveys that all come up with 97%? And I'm very innumerate, and Ken is an engineer. So, you know, in this way, we're a good team. But he said, well, because they just contrived it, they made it work.
00:44:37.600 so we took apart all of the data and looked at it very carefully and there's no 97 consensus
00:44:43.740 whatsoever so uh it's all a big scam and it is what's called a social proof uh the fellow uh
00:44:51.840 robert cialdini who is a marketing guru uh from some years ago he was the one who came up with
00:44:59.740 this concept of the social proof you know this is why people buy into different fads
00:45:04.340 whether it's you know a certain kind of blue jeans or certain kind of tattoos or certain
00:45:10.500 kind of earrings because of these social proofs people are herd animals they want on the one hand
00:45:17.300 to be together on one thing and the other thing that we intrinsically know we don't want to be
00:45:23.800 ostracized so there's another very good book by kipling d williams on ostracism and how painful
00:45:32.220 that is to a person it's almost like hitting a person to reject them and ostracize them and
00:45:38.500 that's really been the success of the climate movement they've been able to generate you know
00:45:43.740 large groups like Greta where people want to be on board and be part of something and at the same
00:45:49.740 time the people who are excluded or mocked or ridiculed you know feel so terrible about it
00:45:57.880 that, you know, few people have the courage to keep fighting, really.
00:46:03.160 Do you think that these groups are that large, or are they just very good at social engineering?
00:46:10.940 They're huge. They're huge.
00:46:12.780 There's a whole report that, and this is what we were talking about last week,
00:46:16.320 on the climate cartel out of the states.
00:46:20.120 The United States House Judiciary Committee, under Chairman Jim Jordan,
00:46:26.880 has started looking into this vast network of environmental groups
00:46:32.860 and also, more importantly, the big banking groups
00:46:36.740 that people like Mark Carney put together,
00:46:38.720 like the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero
00:46:42.720 or the Net Zero Banking Alliance
00:46:46.140 or the Net Zero Asset Managers Alliance.
00:46:50.620 So this happened around 2021,
00:46:54.080 where he started getting all these people to get together as big money trillions of dollars
00:47:02.280 these groups you're talking carny now yeah yes okay yeah i wanted to transition to that but you
00:47:07.600 did it anyway so good no that's good let's talk about him because he's going to be the unelected
00:47:12.540 prime minister one week from today probably yeah people need to know he was uh the un uh special
00:47:20.820 envoy on climate finance and he was part of cop 26 in glasgow so 26 yep yes and um and that was
00:47:33.040 when he formed this g fans glasgow financial alliance for net zero and this is where this
00:47:40.280 whole concept of trying to reach net zero came up with or or came to the public for
00:47:47.080 You know, up to that point in time, people had been trying to say that we should do this or that to reduce our emissions, but there wasn't a particular focus.
00:48:03.340 But what they did is they created this sort of carbon budget, claiming that if we go over this carbon budget, then we'll blow past two degrees Celsius, and then it'll be a catastrophe on the planet.
00:48:17.080 And so by creating this carbon budget and this concept of net zero, it means that whatever emissions we make, if we plant enough trees to offset that, or if we have a big machine like a vacuum cleaner called direct air carbon capture to suck those emissions out of the air, or if we can bury them in the ground with carbon capture utilization and storage.
00:48:47.080 Then we'll be at net zero so we can emit, but we have to hide it or process it somehow.
00:48:52.540 So they're going to poison the Earth, the planet, with carbon, but not the air.
00:49:01.280 This is something else that Michelle and I spoke about on the phone last week.
00:49:05.240 And I want to get to Carney in a second.
00:49:07.000 Okay.
00:49:07.980 These carbon offsets.
00:49:10.660 And the trees, for example, too.
00:49:12.360 I saw a video yesterday that I didn't capture, and I'm kicking myself now.
00:49:16.340 I wish I had. It's a short clip of Bill Gates saying, we're not going to plant trees. That's
00:49:21.560 ridiculous. That's not going to work. That's not going to save the planet. Planting trees.
00:49:26.340 He actually mocked it. And, you know, there's many people out there think, OK, well, if you
00:49:30.540 plant trees and isn't that what what carbon offsets are supposed to do, you buy a certain
00:49:35.200 amount of carbon offsets, which is going to go to tree planting, because, you know, when trees
00:49:41.420 breathe they breathe in carbon dioxide and they you know breathe out oxygen the opposite of of
00:49:46.560 what we do but there seems to be some confusion in that regard well the thing is that trees only
00:49:55.280 absorb a certain amount of carbon dioxide on at scale at a certain period of growth in their life
00:50:03.160 and uh and then the rest of the time it's just simply in balance with sort of the tree
00:50:08.700 You know, it's not that planting trees will automatically suck carbon dioxide out of the air, not to mention trees also are large emitters because when they die, all that carbon dioxide goes back into the air or when they burn up in a fire, boom, all that carbon dioxide goes back.
00:50:26.780 So if you're going to be buying and selling carbon offsets on trees, who's going to pay the liability if that forest goes up in smoke and you've guaranteed it for 100 years as the carbon offset?
00:50:41.480 Somebody's going to have to pay that tab.
00:50:43.780 So overall, it's a very bad idea.
00:50:47.060 It's a positive scheme, Michelle.
00:50:48.800 Nobody ever pays it.
00:50:50.660 It just keeps getting more and more and more.
00:50:53.440 What is a carbon offset?
00:50:55.340 Like, can we completely and totally answer that question now?
00:50:59.800 Because I'll tell you right now that my audience is, as we've been joking about this for a long time, carbon offsets, right?
00:51:06.320 As these billionaires and millionaires and world leaders and CEOs all fly to Davos every year and wherever else they go for their climate conferences and, you know, their own private jets and they're burning jet fuel and they're polluting the atmosphere.
00:51:21.840 And yet they tell us that we can't drive our car a couple of blocks to go to the store or we should buy an electric vehicle, which is, you know, cobalt and magnesium and all of these rare earth minerals that they have to pollute the earth to get to in the first place.
00:51:39.640 What is a carbon offset or what is it supposed to be?
00:51:44.760 Well, it's the idea of, it's basically like a medieval alms, you know, for when you committed a sin, you could pay some kind of an alms to offset your sin.
00:52:03.440 So it's the very same principle, but this time you're basically, if you're emitting X amount of carbon dioxide and then you buy these nature-based carbon climate solutions, you buy an equivalent amount, you pay for a forest to remain pristine, then you see, you're scot-free.
00:52:26.500 so shell has a program where you can drive carbon neutral all you have to do is pay three cents more
00:52:33.560 per liter and shell will buy carbon offsets at the nature conservancy's dark wood project in bc
00:52:41.560 and make you feel better but but do they actually do this stuff or is it just a scam to make another
00:52:49.220 three cents on a liter of gasoline i mean that's the thing we don't know what they're really doing
00:52:54.500 you know if we're talking about recycling you know it's funny oh did you recycle that no i threw it
00:53:00.500 in the garbage you want to know why because 90 of the recycling never gets recycled yeah it goes to
00:53:06.940 the landfill it goes to the dump right so don't sit there and tell me about recycling mr green box
00:53:13.200 like seriously it's it's insane to me that these people are i've been so brainwashed by all of this
00:53:20.920 But are carbon offsets a real thing?
00:53:24.420 And can these people like Bill Gates get away with what they're doing
00:53:28.100 by saying they're buying the gold standard?
00:53:31.360 Well, they can say it, but really, there's a very good article
00:53:35.500 and it's posted on our Climate Change 101,
00:53:39.800 which is our plain language bilingual website.
00:53:43.020 And it's in the section on Interpol and carbon trading crime.
00:53:47.980 and and there's a very good article that was in harper's february 2010 i remember it very well
00:53:56.960 because that's when i fell off the climate change bandwagon i said okay this is you were on the
00:54:02.420 bandwagon i was yeah kind of years ago anyway um but um but in that article by mark shapiro
00:54:11.400 He writes that carbon markets are different than normal commodity markets because carbon markets entail the lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no one.
00:54:31.440 That's what it is.
00:54:33.260 You're buying nothing.
00:54:34.400 you're not even you know like if you buy pork bellies there is a chance that you'll get a call
00:54:39.960 from your broker saying by the way your train car full of pork bellies is here come and get it but
00:54:45.320 you know these are invisible intangible carbon credits that um you know an interpol did a whole
00:54:53.080 report about carbon credit crime because it's basically you know it actually all goes back to
00:55:02.260 enron it has its roots literally in enron and for people who are younger maybe don't know but
00:55:09.360 are we talking about the enron spill that big no you're thinking of exxon oh enron was a big
00:55:16.340 energy company in the states too big to fail but not really in the late 1990s right and they always
00:55:23.920 referred to themselves as the smartest guys in the room i think it was uh and anyway um they had
00:55:31.380 made quite a bit of money on trading offsets at the time that coal plants were being required to
00:55:38.400 install scrubbers so it took some time to put these scrubbers in and in the interim these companies
00:55:46.640 were allowed to do trading like carbon trading but it was emissions trading on sulfur dioxide
00:55:53.720 so they'd made quite a bit of money on that but the coal plants you know there weren't that many
00:55:58.820 that participated and they also were able to do it fairly quickly so they looked around for another
00:56:05.020 thing what else could we you know do this how else can we make more money and this was about
00:56:11.060 the time of the Kyoto Accord which was a forerunner to the Paris Agreement and it was
00:56:17.920 and you can read in the Palmasano memo that was sent from Kyoto by I think it was by
00:56:25.040 Kenneth Lay
00:56:26.400 I think that's his name
00:56:28.800 who was the head of Enron
00:56:30.640 and he was very thrilled
00:56:33.060 at the thought of international
00:56:34.600 emissions trading
00:56:35.740 he thought they'd make a bundle off that
00:56:37.840 and they had really worked hard
00:56:40.300 to make the Kyoto Agreement
00:56:41.800 come to life
00:56:43.400 then in 2001
00:56:46.400 I think it was Enron
00:56:48.220 blew up into
00:56:50.460 a cloud of ashes
00:56:51.960 for all their fraudulent
00:56:54.360 off books accounting. But all these other companies that had seen them making money on
00:57:00.880 these trades said, how can we do that? We want to do that. So since that time, there's been a number
00:57:06.980 of big philanthropies, big green philanthropies, big companies, wealthy, green philanthropists like
00:57:15.640 Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg, all these guys who play in the same sandbox with Mark Carney.
00:57:22.420 they've been working on developing two carbon trading markets in the world one in Europe and
00:57:29.920 one in North America and they almost succeeded under Obama but it fell apart and a fellow named
00:57:38.240 Matthew Nisbet who's a communications professor he's been tracking them for a long time he wrote
00:57:44.660 a paper called um strategic philanthropy in the post cap and trade era and he pointed out that
00:57:53.020 there's about 15 big philanthropies they all put their resources together um and um they started
00:58:03.520 they developed a plan it's called design to win and i believe it was mckinsey who was their
00:58:09.820 consultant you know so mckinsey is like the world's biggest management consultant and they
00:58:15.900 work with everybody so so this whole concept of carbon trading climate change net zero you know
00:58:23.500 has infiltrated all of society from these very powerful philanthropies and mckinsey and then
00:58:32.020 down into the financial world and um so since about 2005 these big philanthropies have been
00:58:42.700 funding environmental groups to be their barking dog if you like to be their proxy to come up with
00:58:50.660 a message that actually the philanthropists want but they make it appear as if it comes from the
00:58:56.160 grassroots right so then politicians say oh well i guess everybody wants to drive electric vehicles
00:59:03.540 that's what these guys are telling us you know suzuki is always running these point and click
00:59:09.100 email campaigns right they want to get 10 000 people to send a letter to the government i want
00:59:15.080 an ev i want a charger in my neighborhood uh so that's all coming originally from these big
00:59:22.400 philanthropies. And of course, they don't have to report to shareholders. You know, they always
00:59:27.420 like to say, oh, big oil is funding all these deniers. Well, big oil can't, not very much if
00:59:34.300 they do, because they have to report to shareholders, whereas these big philanthropies
00:59:39.360 don't. And they have, they've brainwashed and entitled, well, I guess it's more than a generation
00:59:45.440 now, maybe even two generations of people who believe that, you know, recycling is a good thing
00:59:51.940 and driving electric vehicles is a good thing let me ask you this once we get through all the
00:59:58.360 propaganda we get through all the crap all the politicization all of that nonsense is there
01:00:03.840 anything that is going on with this green movement that is actually beneficial that is actually doing
01:00:11.560 and i know that one part feeds the other and you know it's kind of like the human body the knee
01:00:17.020 bones connect to the hip bone and the leg bone and all of that stuff but is there anything going
01:00:23.520 on in this green movement this green scam i think trump calls it that is of benefit to humanity or
01:00:32.160 the planet well i think if you look back to its roots in the environmental movement the answer
01:00:38.400 would be yes and in one of the presentations that i have i think it's the one on cities
01:00:44.180 which is on our YouTube channel you know if you look at LA in the 1970s like you know the air was
01:00:52.540 just like thick with smog and even in Calgary you know where I live I can remember when I worked at
01:00:59.200 CSN up on the hill you know in winter if you go up in the hill and you look down into the valley
01:01:04.740 like there were just like layers of gross colored toxic gases in the air stuck in the valley in an
01:01:12.160 inversion you don't see that ever now that you know so emissions management really cleaned all
01:01:19.220 of that up so that was a positive thing and I think also a number of like the Great Lakes were
01:01:24.160 pretty much dead at that time and they were revitalized so from the original roots yes there
01:01:30.000 were benefits and if we kept on that track of maintaining and enhancing the environment that
01:01:37.280 would be great but then it went off the rails onto the climate thing and now it's really just
01:01:42.920 all for green crony capitalists you know and a lot of these people also you know they know the
01:01:49.500 stock markets so they know how to hedge their bets and really profit and I think you've seen
01:01:56.360 that with a few of the things like the battery plant investments where the government will rush
01:02:01.420 to invest in ev battery plants so that looks great you know lots of people jump in the market
01:02:07.660 the stock goes up and the people behind the scenes you know the green cronies they know exactly when
01:02:14.760 to get out with the money and then boom it collapses so the pendulum is swung way too far
01:02:23.200 to the other side what we need is actual balance i mean you're right you know the great lakes they
01:02:27.720 were dying and they've been brought back and as you say the air has gotten a lot more breathable
01:02:32.360 and big cities and so that's a good thing but then they i guess they just thought well we need
01:02:37.800 to keep going we've got this is turned into an industry now this climate thing well it did it's
01:02:43.540 like a 1.5 million trillion dollar industry worldwide and when you think there are i would
01:02:49.680 say millions of environmental lawyers involved in all kinds of lawfare you know millions of people
01:02:58.560 working in climate consulting and now there's a new layer that's being imposed on corporations
01:03:04.400 in Canada which is mandatory reporting of emissions and that's related to that what I
01:03:10.360 mentioned earlier the CBAM the carbon border adjustment mechanism which is a climate policy
01:03:16.740 tariff that europe is starting but this is what i'm sorry to interrupt you and i do want to get
01:03:24.040 to that because that's one of carney's things and you know i'm going to cancel the carbon tax but
01:03:28.140 i'm going to invest your money wisely and we're going to do this uh we're going to do this carbon
01:03:32.940 tariff thing but i want to ask you how did they come up with with carbon as the gas that's the
01:03:41.160 poisonous one i mean carbon is the gas of life carbon is what we're all made of there's no life
01:03:48.100 without carbon why didn't they come up with methane or something that's really poisonous
01:03:53.020 to scare people like carbon are you kidding me well it's the most abundant and uh of course
01:04:01.160 we breathe it out at 40 000 parts per million uh so um and i think richard lindsen professor
01:04:09.300 Richard Lindzen said it best when he said, you know, that controlling carbon dioxide is a dream.
01:04:17.900 It's a bureaucrat's dream, because if you control carbon, you control life. So because it runs
01:04:23.940 through everything, and we all need energy in many different forms just to survive,
01:04:30.060 then if you control it, then you control everything. So that literally is the point.
01:04:36.060 And of course, we should differentiate between, you know, the word carbon is related to hydrocarbons, meaning fossil fuels, but people abbreviate it to say carbon, but carbon is actually like soot, that's carbon, and carbon dioxide is a benign gas.
01:04:55.200 So I just wanted to make that clear.
01:04:58.880 You know, it's interesting, the politicians never make that clear.
01:05:01.640 I know.
01:05:01.980 They never bring anything to the table.
01:05:04.200 They never bring any receipts to the table.
01:05:05.820 they never bring any proof to the table you know people like uh the environment minister
01:05:09.900 gilbo you know he spouts off and he rambles at press conferences and he shames people and he
01:05:15.940 calls them deniers and ists and that and he never actually brings the goods right and and you guys
01:05:22.780 have always got the goods that's definitely one thing i love about you know friends of science
01:05:28.040 it's like that's what you are thank you yes well and i just to answer further your question about
01:05:35.200 how did it happen there's a thing that's uh well it's going on in the united states right now
01:05:41.480 that the uh president trump and lee zedlin who's the now the head of the epa environmental
01:05:49.240 protection agency um they may be canceling what's called the endangerment finding so in 2009 there
01:05:57.220 was a ruling passed in the epa that carbon dioxide and other gases like there's about six other gases
01:06:07.200 that they incorporate into carbon dioxide equivalent and one of those is methane actually
01:06:13.300 but um that carbon dioxide constitutes a threat to human health and existence so because of this
01:06:22.960 endangerment finding that's when people kind of went berserk and started going oh carbon dioxide
01:06:28.660 is killing all of us when it's actually the gas of life as you said and very beneficial
01:06:34.580 so uh you know and people often mistake carbon monoxide for carbon dioxide carbon monoxide of
01:06:43.500 course is absolutely toxic and that's what people die from when you cook inside say with a propane
01:06:51.320 heater try and heat your home with propane heater that should be outside um so you know it's funny
01:07:00.520 we learned all of that i think it's eighth grade science right like and and so this is what gets
01:07:06.420 me about all of this is are we were we all terrible students we never paid any attention
01:07:11.400 in middle school or high school that we don't know that carbon dioxide is not a problem
01:07:17.180 not a problem at all and these politicians when asked i've seen so many different um
01:07:23.920 congressional hearings you know where you've got a smart-ass senator like kennedy who's going to
01:07:29.000 be asking these so-called environmental experts do you know exactly how much the percentage of
01:07:34.440 carbon in the air is right they go i'm gonna take a wild guess and say eight percent what about you
01:07:42.600 over there i'm gonna i'm gonna go one higher i'm gonna go nine well that's 0.03 percent
01:07:50.120 and of that 0.03 percent humans are responsible for one percent right so they they go on that and
01:07:59.680 when whenever that is posed to them there's never an answer how has this not fallen apart yet it's
01:08:06.280 too much money at stake oh yeah yeah there's a huge amount of money and these groups are all
01:08:13.920 network and they're networked internationally as well there's been a series of reports come out
01:08:21.480 on a sub stack i can't remember the name of it but it's about the european climate foundation
01:08:27.240 which is based out of switzerland quite a few of them are based out of switzerland
01:08:32.080 But they've been pumping money into environmental groups in Europe to go and badger the European government to take these stupid net zero decisions.
01:08:45.020 And now we see Germany is collapsing economically.
01:08:49.020 The UK is collapsing economically.
01:08:53.000 Thanks to this very bad advice from environmentalists instead of scientists.
01:08:58.120 I shouldn't even call them environmentalists.
01:09:00.300 They're climate activists.
01:09:02.080 And again, they're just proxies for investments that these guys have somewhere.
01:09:07.620 They either have it in some hedge fund or they have it in climate bonds.
01:09:12.640 Some of the climate bonds are like there for 50 years.
01:09:15.500 They keep telling us we only have, you know, six years left.
01:09:18.840 And yet they're buying climate bonds for 50 years from now.
01:09:22.760 Yeah.
01:09:23.100 Or they're selling mortgages at banks, like 50 year mortgages, right?
01:09:26.540 50?
01:09:26.940 I thought the planet was going to be done in like five.
01:09:29.640 Yeah.
01:09:29.860 Let me ask you, how disastrous is Mark Carney?
01:09:38.260 Well, I would say that he is, as Cartoons by Josh did a very good cartoon of him and called him Mark Carnage.
01:09:50.300 So I think that he's very problematic because despite the fact that he's got many, many accomplishments,
01:09:57.980 He's definitely stuck on this climate cartel thing.
01:10:04.200 And, you know, he is really responsible for the net zero damage that's happening to Canada right now,
01:10:12.180 right now without him officially being in any position in Canada, because he set all these ideas in motion.
01:10:19.420 You know, he had his book, Values.
01:10:22.040 He also gave a very influential speech to Lloyd's of London in 2015 that was just before the Paris Agreement was signed in December.
01:10:33.880 And when he gave that speech, it was called The Tragedy of the Horizon.
01:10:38.580 And this is really a turning point for all the banks and insurance companies.
01:10:43.440 And the insurance companies, you know, they're big institutional investors, big pension funds, big institutional investors.
01:10:49.220 It was at that point that he convinced them to get on the climate change bandwagon.
01:10:55.320 And there's a very interesting interview from 2021 when he was presenting to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment.
01:11:06.220 And if you can just hold that thought for a moment, the UNPRI is a transnational, unelected, unaccountable group of institutional investors like pension funds.
01:11:19.980 And they sit on about $125 trillion in assets under management.
01:11:26.300 And they're all climate crazy.
01:11:28.940 And their fiduciary guru is Al Gore.
01:11:32.020 So anyway, going back to this presentation that he gave, he actually was thanking the People's Bank of China for coming up with this plan and framework for greening the financial system and doing this emissions reduction measuring.
01:11:54.660 Now, you'll often hear them say what gets measured gets managed.
01:11:58.900 So this is the whole principle of the net zero.
01:12:00.940 If you're a company and you have emissions and you count all your emissions, then you can manage them down to net zero.
01:12:08.900 But it's actually China who originated this thinking.
01:12:13.260 so that you know with all the things about um foreign interference in canada and the west
01:12:21.800 like that really freaked me out when i saw that i just saw it recently oh i mean he's way up there
01:12:28.940 with the world economic forum too right and they are uh obviously associated with china they're
01:12:34.840 working together however something good has been happening lately donald trump has been uh at least
01:12:41.200 starting to tear this stuff apart finding all of the funding that's happening with USAID and
01:12:47.460 Mark Carney's been caught in some lies in the last few days I'm not sure if you've seen any
01:12:52.700 of that here he is teaching Jimi Hendrix how to play guitar all along the watchtower yeah
01:12:59.360 and then here he is planning the d-day assaults in 19 um Mark Carney here inventing the wheel
01:13:06.960 too much he's been taking credit for pulling canada out of the 2008 financial crisis and
01:13:20.860 he's also been taking credit for pulling the uk through brexit and none of that is true it's
01:13:27.380 revisionist history and stephen harper finally called him out today liz truss has called him
01:13:31.760 out already the former p.m. of of the uk so i believe that you know and and a lot of banks
01:13:38.060 uh michelle have pulled out of this cop 26 uh g fans yes you know why because they may be
01:13:47.600 most likely are violating u.s antitrust regulations and the penalties for that are very
01:13:56.080 severe so if you can believe it these people in you know senior officials in banking circles
01:14:05.500 and financial circuits asset managers didn't know that it is illegal in the states to collectively
01:14:14.940 coercively try and force a corporation to adopt your principles that are working against its
01:14:24.440 interests and those of the consumers i can't believe that they didn't know that this is the
01:14:31.160 fiduciary responsibility it's on page one of the investor's handbook right i mean like when you
01:14:36.480 invest in a stock or a company or even a fund you're expecting that you're going to get back
01:14:43.420 a return on this whether it's three percent or five percent or whatever it happens to be
01:14:49.380 And it's not about investing based upon the fact that, well, we're going to clean up the planet.
01:14:55.180 We're going to get down to net zero.
01:14:56.420 And that became their number one goal when making money was supposed to be their number one goal, right?
01:15:02.580 Right. And very coercive.
01:15:04.260 Like there's a passage here in this report.
01:15:07.120 And, you know, people can download this report.
01:15:09.340 We also have it in a couple of our press releases.
01:15:12.760 But they're talking here about demand management.
01:15:16.760 This is for aviation.
01:15:17.800 So if you have noticed that aviation is more difficult for you these days, flying someplace is more difficult, they show you your carbon footprint when you book your ticket, it's because of these guys and their coercive tactics.
01:15:32.300 So they say here that demand management will require policy interventions which may take the form of market-based measures like carbon pricing, passenger flight taxes, frequent flyer levies, regulation, banning short-haul domestic flights where there's a high-speed rail alternative.
01:15:53.280 They started doing that in France already, I think, like that was a few years ago.
01:15:57.380 Yeah, that's right.
01:15:58.460 They did do that.
01:15:59.220 So, you know, they're really, these organizations would go into any one of these corporations and say, hi, you know, we want you to have a net zero plan and this is what we think you should do.
01:16:16.740 And the company is kind of like, well, that's not our core business and we don't want to do that because it's a waste of time and money.
01:16:22.940 and they go well you know at the agm we can replace you because that's what they do they
01:16:29.680 would actually go in and replace recalcitrant board directors um to try and get their their
01:16:39.300 they called it refreshing the board you know so this is why markets are so skewed because of the
01:16:46.040 activities of these guys and they have trillions of dollars so they they have been able to kind
01:16:51.780 of walk in and go look at all the money and assets under management i have therefore boom you have to
01:16:58.180 listen to me and do what i say and in fact the trotty family foundation in canada just issued
01:17:04.900 a letter an open letter telling the banks in canada that they should continue to comply with net zero
01:17:11.100 even though they've left things like g fans and they pulled the same tactic they said
01:17:17.180 And we and our co-signatories on this letter represent $54 billion in assets under management.
01:17:25.120 And here's what we think you should do.
01:17:26.820 One, two, three, four, five.
01:17:29.960 It's actually happening right here in Canada as well.
01:17:33.540 Oh, by the way, Mark Carney, here he is winning Survivor, the first season of Survivor.
01:17:40.320 And here is Mark Carney on stage with the Beatles at the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.
01:17:46.060 for. Oh, that's great. I remember seeing him. Do you think that Trump is going to be able to
01:17:56.120 stop all of this? Because what you've described in the last hour when it comes to the climate
01:18:01.860 funding and the web of so many different organizations and so much money all across
01:18:08.840 the world, it's the same thing with the trans movement. It's the same thing with pharmaceuticals.
01:18:14.860 I mean, there's a lot of, you know, culling the birds.
01:18:19.460 I mean, all of this stuff, it's all interconnected.
01:18:22.840 And it's all about control, as you pointed out before.
01:18:25.560 Do you think that Donald Trump is going to be able, because it looks like this is what he's trying to do.
01:18:30.140 He is trying to remove the USAID funding.
01:18:33.540 He's trying to clean up the deep state like you said he was going to do last time.
01:18:37.180 Do you think that he's going to be able to do it or is it too much for even him?
01:18:41.000 um well if he pulls that endangerment finding there will probably be lots of lawsuits afterwards
01:18:48.580 but it will um it will pull the rug out from under the climate movement and uh you know there's
01:18:59.340 really a battle going on right now in canada and between the u.s related to these tariffs because
01:19:06.640 in the fall economic statement, most people don't know this, Canada wanted to impose climate policy
01:19:14.100 tariffs. And as Robert Lyman said, that's like waving a red flag to the Trump administration
01:19:22.000 bull. So, you know, maybe we started the tariff war. Well, that's what Carney wants to do. That's
01:19:29.880 what his replacement plan for the carbon tax is that that's part of it yes and then and then we
01:19:36.500 would be compliant with europe but our trade with europe is nothing compared to what our trade is
01:19:41.860 with the united states not to mention you know for all the people who are busy about climate change
01:19:47.480 you have to get your stuff across an ocean to get to europe right or vice versa whereas with
01:19:56.140 um the u.s we just have to drive over the border and here's your delivery right so
01:20:02.420 they're our closest neighbor and we have so much in common and uh you know it's ludicrous to think
01:20:10.880 that we could rebuild the kind of markets that we have with the u.s overnight with other countries
01:20:17.300 Well, I don't know why, you know, and why do you think he's so married to this idea? Is it ideology or is it money?
01:20:30.420 I'd say it's probably both. I mean, we have one video on our website that we did in 2020 before anyone ever thought of him as a potential leader of Canada.
01:20:47.300 But we just thought it was odd that he was trying to advocate
01:20:50.860 for changing the banking currency to a digital currency
01:20:56.060 because this would upend the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency.
01:21:01.660 That seemed odd to us, but then we also looked at it and said,
01:21:05.420 oh, well, then a digital currency allows you to control consumption.
01:21:11.300 So there is a very big element within the climate community
01:21:16.340 where they want to ration you they want to give you a personal carbon ration of three tons
01:21:22.860 co2 equivalent every year and if you run out you just have to buy more now unfortunately
01:21:30.200 canadians use about 14 to 17 tons co2 equivalent of energy every year so just imagine what you do
01:21:39.080 with only three this is the cc40 cities plan am i correct um this is part of the c40 cities plan
01:21:47.640 yeah from deadline 2020 and the um partners for climate protection which is part of icly canada
01:21:57.020 which is part of the united nations which has infiltrated the uh federation of municipalities
01:22:04.500 in Canada. Our friend Maggie Hope Braun is doing a lot of great work with this and she's going to
01:22:09.540 be in Alberta in your neck of the woods in the next couple of weeks. I would really like it if
01:22:13.680 the two of you guys got a chance to hook up and maybe have lunch one of these days because she's
01:22:17.920 she's going from municipality to municipality talking to the city councils and to the bureaucrats
01:22:26.220 trying to find these joining agreements that could have been signed 20 years ago, 25 years ago,
01:22:32.700 six months ago, to make them beholden to this philosophy of UN net zero. And if the council
01:22:42.060 agrees in whatever municipality they're in, that they don't need the UN telling them how to live
01:22:47.160 their lives and how to plan their communities, then they cancel them. But the problem is there's
01:22:52.640 400 different RMs around the country that are already members of this. So it's going to take
01:22:57.820 a lot of work well and the real problem is is that their pensions are probably compromised
01:23:03.380 their pensions are probably attached to something related within the unpri uh so you know that's
01:23:13.120 been the power of the unpri is getting all of these big pension funds to sign on and then
01:23:19.800 it's a voluntary signature but you must comply or explain afterwards right and so and all the
01:23:26.340 DEI nonsense, that came from the UNPRI. And that's why the universities have adopted it,
01:23:36.040 because their pensions are signatory to that organization. And I'm guessing, I don't know,
01:23:44.200 but I'm guessing that there's probably some super fund that they're all involved in that's
01:23:48.780 related to climate change. Or maybe their pensions are deeply invested in China, because a lot of
01:23:55.960 the supposed solutions for climate change come from china like solar panels wind turbines so
01:24:03.080 you know i think there's a whole monetary element in the background that we really don't know enough
01:24:08.740 about or don't have access to but they're not just doing it because of ideology but speaking
01:24:15.320 of maggie i know at one of her events one of our volunteers had some of our books there
01:24:19.820 and they went
01:24:21.880 like that so
01:24:23.440 I just want to give a little promo
01:24:25.520 you can get these books on our website
01:24:27.920 88pedges
01:24:28.960 very quick read but all the
01:24:31.760 essential facts that you need to know
01:24:33.400 and on March the 11th
01:24:36.200 we're going to be having an event
01:24:37.580 a book launch and two of
01:24:39.820 the authors of the book
01:24:41.800 are going to be speaking and that's going to be
01:24:43.740 in Calgary at the Best Western Village
01:24:45.780 Park Inn and there's also a live
01:24:47.640 streaming option so you can get
01:24:49.620 It's on our website.
01:24:51.480 Okay, and the website, friendsofscience.org, yeah?
01:24:54.300 Dot org, yeah.
01:24:55.660 Okay, I mean, we could go on all night here.
01:24:58.900 I don't want to keep you all night, but I do,
01:25:01.680 but I know that you've got other things that you need to do.
01:25:06.480 The Wildlands Project.
01:25:08.700 We talked about this on the phone last week,
01:25:10.720 and maybe it wasn't specifically the Wildlands Project,
01:25:14.080 But we're hearing whispers from different people, like farmers across the prairies, that federal government representatives, provincial government representatives have been held out of these conversations as well.
01:25:29.600 uh representatives of national parks they have been working on secret transportation corridors
01:25:37.200 to stop people from traveling to certain areas of certain provinces they're they're
01:25:45.680 cordoning off essentially certain areas of provinces that they don't want people in
01:25:51.680 now to me this smacked of the wildlands project and i'm sure you've seen that map in the past yeah
01:25:58.240 i haven't okay it's a map uh of the united states and it shows uh green areas red areas
01:26:06.240 yellow areas okay yeah i think okay yeah yeah that one's supposed to be in place they said by 2050
01:26:12.520 now i'm not sure if it's still a going concern or not but it was a big deal about 10 years ago and
01:26:17.520 the red areas where no humans are allowed right yellow areas were experimental areas where you
01:26:24.440 had to get permits to go to and green areas were going to be these big mega cities that they're
01:26:29.960 trying to herd us into um and there was like 10 of them all across north america and the interesting
01:26:37.960 thing was on this particular map that i was looking at there was no border between the united
01:26:42.920 states and canada and you know months later after i'd first you know seen that map and now we're
01:26:49.640 starting to hear all about this wow 51st state stuff and i'm thinking hmm because one of the
01:26:55.560 megalopolis areas one of the big green areas on this map was vancouver seattle and another one of
01:27:01.660 them was uh toronto hamilton buffalo uh right huge areas and i thought wow there's no real border
01:27:10.040 here it's so we're seeing all these smart cities popping up uh all over the place as well um
01:27:19.040 They're starting to build vertically and not so much outward anymore.
01:27:24.220 There's a big, huge thing going on in Manitoba here, a project called the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region, which is a board, essentially, a corporation that's been formed by the province of Manitoba that is supposed to oversee the amalgamation of 18 municipalities, including the city of Winnipeg, in the next 12 months.
01:27:49.040 and centralize the governments and they've also talked about uh okay there will be no more local
01:27:54.600 oversight no more uh you know municipal councils no more municipal governments uh it's all going
01:28:01.860 to come out of one uh there's going to be certain travel restrictions for certain types of vehicles
01:28:07.060 uh these are the transportation corridors they talk about they talk about you not being able to
01:28:12.840 dig a well on your own property if you want to they talk about being able to put um people on
01:28:19.640 your property for density's sake right and this is all about uh the climate and and that's what's
01:28:28.240 going on in calgary edmonton edmonton's a smart city vancouver as well um have you dug into any
01:28:34.360 of that at all um yeah a bit like we have um we have uh one rep one video explainer on our
01:28:45.540 youtube channel called cities and green activism i think it is or cities and climate activism
01:28:51.580 we have another one uh that we just did on um climate action shifts gears and see what's
01:29:00.880 happened in the states because trump has pulled out of the paris agreement at the national level
01:29:05.760 there's about uh 60 cities and some states that all got together they call themselves america is
01:29:13.380 all in and it's interesting that mark carney keeps saying i'm all in for canada right
01:29:19.140 it's like build back better it's the same damn thing yeah anyway so um they are planning to try
01:29:27.420 and meet paris targets and these cities and uh so i did a 15 minute city thing which is posted on
01:29:36.920 our website on our youtube channel um and uh we did another one about cities and tree planting
01:29:46.680 which is quite interesting because this they keep pushing tree planting but it's really a ponzi
01:29:54.300 scheme and uh people love trees so of course it's a very easy sell but you know when you
01:30:00.960 plant a tree usually about a third of the trees you plant die because they just do um so then you
01:30:08.480 have to plant more trees and the more trees you plant you need more people to take care of the
01:30:12.500 trees right uh so it's uh and then some cities are actually selling carbon credits on their tree
01:30:22.100 canopy and maybe even the tree canopy in your yard you're not getting the money for that so
01:30:29.960 you know there's a whole sort of layer that very fishy stuff going on within cities related to
01:30:36.440 climate change and also I just saw an article today on induction stoves so this was about an
01:30:45.540 induction stove that you can just plug into an ordinary socket in the wall and apparently the
01:30:51.280 city of new york thinks these are a fabulous idea even though they cost four thousand dollars but
01:30:56.840 they're willing to buy i can't remember was that ten thousand of them hundred thousand of them for
01:31:02.960 the low low price of thirty two hundred so when i read something like that i think okay is that
01:31:10.320 city pension fund invested in this company that makes these things and i mean there are some
01:31:18.440 benefits you know you you don't have to run a gas line so it's faster and easier to put up an
01:31:25.120 apartment block and also you don't have to worry about gas leaks yeah there's some benefits but
01:31:32.300 you know there's also downsides you need more electricity and all across north america power
01:31:38.300 grids are kind of at their breaking point now because we've electrified a whole bunch of stuff
01:31:44.800 and we want to electrify more that's the whole principle of decarbonization that your house
01:31:49.940 will be heated by electricity your car will be powered by electricity um you won't have a gas
01:31:55.820 stove anymore you'll have an induction stove that will be powered by electricity well we're going
01:32:00.860 to have to build a lot more power plants yeah but what kind of power plants like wind right well
01:32:08.160 that's what they think that's what they think you know and of course we know that that will not do
01:32:12.820 so um or they say oh battery backup that'll do it you know batteries will maybe get you through
01:32:20.380 a couple of hours at most even grid scale batteries but what do they say batteries can
01:32:25.440 actually you know at that level they can hold 10 of a charge and if you're talking about the power
01:32:31.320 grid of an entire state province area uh you you need so much more than that daniel smith broke it
01:32:37.900 actually very well uh yes she did uh conference a couple of months ago and she she continues to do
01:32:45.840 it um i'm sorry i had a question and i completely lost it because you were talking about the power
01:32:55.060 grids and that's cool uh and i interrupted you so i'm sorry about that no problem i i didn't mean
01:33:01.240 to do that but um yeah i guess that's that's all we've got for tonight i did have something here
01:33:06.860 but look at my handwriting it's chicken scratch and i i it's fine it's embarrassing i don't want
01:33:13.080 you to see it it's terrible i had something do you guys have any questions from michelle
01:33:18.640 sterling of friends of science let's go look at the comments oh my goodness there's so many of
01:33:22.680 them uh and usually there's a 10 second or so delay oh heat pumps that's what i was going to
01:33:30.920 talk about oh yes heat pumps uh dude brought it up uh sorry carol brought it up heat pumps
01:33:36.260 it sounds like the heat pump thing that trudeau was talking about last year the year before
01:33:41.320 minus 30 and you're supposed to use a heat pump well this is another carny compromised situation
01:33:49.280 you know uh brookfield is in partnership with train which makes heat pumps and at one of his
01:33:56.940 meetings last spring. I think he was speaking at a Canada 2020 meeting, and they asked him
01:34:06.140 something about what did he think about the carbon tax, and he kind of passed it off. But then he
01:34:10.340 said, well, you know, I wish that the government would have bought a million heat pumps instead of
01:34:15.720 putting all that money into the EV battery plants. So, you know, this is a command
01:34:20.820 mentality they actually want to wage a war against climate change so they literally want
01:34:30.540 to create a war measures act and force people to have a heat pump to buy you know you have to have
01:34:38.920 a heat pump because now we're in an eco-dictatorship you cannot drive where you want to go to because
01:34:45.880 we're in a war against climate so your fuel is rationed and you'll you'll find all kinds of
01:34:52.000 stuff about this war on climate war on the american way of life which is our way of life too
01:34:57.720 in this report so uh and what do they use they use an engio to push it so at the same time that
01:35:06.980 carney said that there was a webinar with 350 org in canada where they were advocating heat pumps
01:35:14.260 for everyone and a point and click campaign right the government tell them that you want a
01:35:18.720 free national heat pump campaign yeah it's it's ridiculous oh by the way speaking of carny again
01:35:27.180 here he is in 1980 running across the country on one leg oh my god isn't that amazing he's
01:35:35.280 accomplished so much and we didn't give him credit for any of this stuff it's uh it's incredible
01:35:40.060 Oh, and I meant to mention, you know, in that video, I was talking about the digital currency that we did. Not only does the digital currency, would it allow them to limit your purchases? But in that same time period, when he was setting some of these policies, his former employer, Goldman Sachs, was making a bundle on these carbon trading companies that they'd bought a few years before that weren't doing that well,
01:36:07.000 till he was kind of a cheerleader for things that made it financially good for them.
01:36:15.380 And I just noticed today that Goldman Sachs has opened a big biodiversity fund.
01:36:21.960 And you'll find on our blog two reports about biodiversity.
01:36:26.860 And again, this is the whole nature-based climate solutions scam, carbon offsets,
01:36:33.020 you know that they're setting aside blocks of pristine land water ocean so they can do carbon
01:36:41.200 trading on it but you won't be able to touch it so i think that really wild lands project that's
01:36:46.760 the wild lands project oh see you hear about one thing i hear about another thing we put it together
01:36:53.360 and yeah it's the commodification of nature yeah so uh and i think cory morningstar she's kind of
01:37:01.780 a left-wing journal but she's very on about she did a huge investigation into the make manufacturing
01:37:09.380 of greta thunberg and she's also done a lot on the commodification of nature so um the manufacturing
01:37:16.960 of greta thunberg that'd be interesting to to see that it's a very interesting book it's also
01:37:22.880 online as a blog i can send you some of these links if you want to use them later i love it
01:37:28.140 Or just throw them up in the comments here on your Twitter,
01:37:31.720 because we're on your Twitter as well, or X, sorry.
01:37:34.420 So throw them up there, and people will grab them.
01:37:36.960 Well, it says right now, can't post comments to X.
01:37:40.960 Oh, okay.
01:37:41.800 You send it to me, I'll send it to them.
01:37:43.500 Okay, great.
01:37:44.940 All right, cool.
01:37:45.860 Michelle, thank you for coming on tonight.
01:37:47.700 It's been like an hour and a half.
01:37:50.260 Well, as you said, we could go on and on.
01:37:53.820 We could do a part two, maybe next week,
01:37:56.120 or you could become a regular.
01:37:57.160 I'd love to have you on the show on a regular basis when something breaks,
01:38:00.800 it'd be greater just to have a conversation because you are a wealth of
01:38:03.540 knowledge. Thank you. Thank you. I'd love to do that. Yeah. Okay, cool.
01:38:07.300 Well, it's a date. Thank you, Michelle.
01:38:09.620 Well, thank you so much. Thanks to everyone for tuning in.
01:38:12.820 And remember, come to our event, March 11th, Calgary.
01:38:18.100 Go get the information, friendsofscience.org. Thank you, Michelle.
01:38:22.640 Thank you. All right. There is Michelle Sterling,
01:38:25.620 friends of science love to have her back on at some point wow man like she she knows her stuff
01:38:32.500 cool we have some more things to do so i i was thinking that tonight we would go back
01:38:40.560 to the normal format of the show which is at nine o'clock central
01:38:44.300 we we go to the extension on shadow davis.com all access and people who uh watch on telegram
01:38:52.900 and the shadow at night community group there but once again here we are much past our regular
01:38:59.940 scheduled time so what we're going to do is just push on like we had last week and we'll go back
01:39:05.720 to normal tomorrow night because there is a lot to cover in two and a half hours time
01:39:11.480 donald trump's 25 tariffs go into effect in canada and mexico and i believe they're 20 tariffs going
01:39:20.140 into effect in china and we'll talk about that and i think there's going to be a lot of lefties
01:39:26.740 or a lot of people who want to just fit in on social media you've seen them posting in the last
01:39:32.280 couple of days i'm sure i stand with ukraine and the the blue and yellow flags they're back
01:39:38.420 especially after what the terrible orange man did to zielinski in the oval office on friday which i
01:39:45.280 thought was fantastic i mean there's a lot of great memes out there already about it um oh that
01:39:51.020 was awful and and so i got myself into i and i don't normally do this you guys because i think
01:39:57.340 in the past i've told you you know you just gotta move past that stuff it's gonna be too aggravating
01:40:04.320 well you know what enough's enough i took a stand and i was on my normal facebook profile
01:40:09.720 today and a couple of days ago. And, you know, I realized I've got a fairly large
01:40:16.960 following. I don't often think about it, but I do have a fairly large following. And
01:40:22.940 I could probably muster a bit of an army on certain people who are virtue signaling out there
01:40:30.500 with absolutely no rationale behind it. I stand with Ukraine. And so my question to them
01:40:36.800 in the last few days has been,
01:40:39.580 why do you stand with Ukraine?
01:40:40.980 Well, the way Trump treated Zelensky the other day
01:40:44.400 was terrible.
01:40:45.380 It was horrible.
01:40:46.000 It's not becoming leader of the free world.
01:40:49.920 Are you kidding me right now?
01:40:51.960 How much money has Ukraine taken from the United States
01:40:56.180 and from NATO in general to keep a war?
01:40:59.120 Absolute, there's no way they can win going?
01:41:06.800 People are dying. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead. And you're cheering for this. You're
01:41:11.880 standing with you. Well, Russia invaded. That's not what happened. Do you know the history of
01:41:18.260 how this happened? You're going back three years. Yeah. Russia moved into Crimea, Donbass. Yes,
01:41:23.300 they did. But do you know what happened in 2014? Do you know? Do you know the name Victoria Nuland?
01:41:30.140 do you know what happened in 1990 after glasnost do you know what happened in 1992
01:41:36.920 do you know what the united states has been doing in that region for the past
01:41:42.220 30 years or more they have been pushing to get nato into ukraine which is right
01:41:50.740 next to russia and interestingly a lot of these people who have been you know flexing
01:41:56.200 on social media probably couldn't find ukraine on a map so you have it out with them
01:42:03.580 and then bring some knowledge to the table they have no chance to argue with you because they're
01:42:11.440 arguing emotionally and that never wins and they're arguing with memes and you know that
01:42:21.200 never wins all you have to do is say cite your source man show me what's the source of this
01:42:25.900 mean? Where did you get this information? Well, I got it from the TV. Oh, so you got it from the
01:42:29.960 propaganda box. So here's a guy who spent the last couple of weeks in Europe. He addressed the EU
01:42:38.960 parliament. He's addressed several universities while he's been there. I think he's back in the
01:42:44.560 United States now. But this is a guy who spent the better part of the last, what, I'm going to say
01:42:49.540 35 years or more working in some way, whether as a consultant or actually on staff or as an observer
01:42:57.800 or as a contact of the U.S. government through the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush
01:43:06.440 and Obama and Trump and Biden. Jeff Sachs, he knows exactly what's going on. And so here he is giving
01:43:14.780 a university talk i think last week explaining the history of what's happened in the last 35
01:43:23.440 years and why it's gone down this way and why it's absolutely ludicrous for all of us all of
01:43:31.760 these western nato countries to be involved in this at all it is strictly between russia and
01:43:37.180 Ukraine. So here's Jeffrey Sachs. Just to explain in two minutes the Ukraine war. This is not an
01:43:46.100 attack by Putin on Ukraine in the way that we are told every day. This started in 1990, February 9th,
01:43:58.000 1990. James Baker III, our Secretary of State, said to Mikhail Gorbachev, NATO will not move one
01:44:06.760 inch eastward if you agree to German unification, basically ending World War II.
01:44:16.900 And Gorbachev said that's very important.
01:44:20.420 Yes, NATO doesn't move, and we agree to German unification.
01:44:26.260 The U.S. then cheated on this, already starting in 1994, when Clinton signed off on a basically
01:44:35.720 plan to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called neocons took power.
01:44:44.500 And Clinton was the first agent of this. And the expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland,
01:44:53.960 Hungary and Czech Republic. At that point, Russia didn't much care. There was no border
01:44:58.700 other than with the Konigsberg, but other than that, there was no direct threat.
01:45:04.000 Then the U.S. led the bombing of Serbia in 1999.
01:45:10.880 That was bad, by the way, because that was a use of NATO to bomb a European capital, Belgrade,
01:45:24.440 ...78 straight days to break the country apart.
01:45:30.800 The Russians didn't like that very much.
01:45:33.360 But Putin became president, they swallowed it, they complained,
01:45:37.160 but even Putin started out pro-European, pro-American, actually,
01:45:43.600 asked maybe we should join NATO,
01:45:45.960 when there was still the idea of some kind of mutually respectful relationship.
01:45:51.520 Then 9-11 came, then came Afghanistan, and the Russians said,
01:45:58.060 yeah, we'll support you, we understand, to root out terror.
01:46:01.320 But then came two other decisive actions.
01:46:05.520 In 2002, the United States unilaterally walked out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
01:46:11.400 This was probably the most decisive event, never discussed in this context.
01:46:17.180 But what it did was trigger the U.S. putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe that Russia views as a dire, direct threat to national security by making possible a decapitation strike of missiles that are a few minutes away from Moscow.
01:46:36.820 And we put in two Aegis missile systems.
01:46:39.020 We say it's defense.
01:46:40.540 Russia says, how do we know it's not Tomahawk nuclear-tipped missiles in your silos?
01:46:46.140 you've told us we have nothing to do with this and so we walked out of the abm treaty unilaterally
01:46:53.320 in 2002 and then in 2003 we invaded iraq on completely phony pretenses as i've explained
01:47:00.960 in 2004-5 we engaged in a soft regime change operation in ukraine uh the so-called first
01:47:11.840 the color revolution it put in office somebody that i knew and was i was friends with the and
01:47:17.780 kind of distantly friends with the president yushchenko because i was an advisor to the
01:47:24.860 ukrainian government in 1993 94 95 and then the u.s had its dirty hands in this it should not
01:47:33.920 medal in other countries elections. But in 2009, Yanukovych won the election and he became
01:47:41.760 president in 2010 on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. That calmed things down because
01:47:49.120 the U.S. was pushing NATO, but the people of Ukraine on the opinion polls didn't even want
01:47:54.160 to be in NATO. They knew that the country is divided between ethnic Ukrainian, ethnic Russian.
01:47:59.500 what do we want with this? We want to stay away from your problems. So in February 22, 2014,
01:48:07.860 the United States participated actively in the overthrow of Yanukovych, a typical U.S. regime
01:48:15.740 change operation. Have no doubt about it. And the Russians did us a favor. They intercepted
01:48:22.200 a really ugly call between victoria newland my colleague at columbia university now
01:48:28.040 and if you know her name and what she's done have sympathy for me um so that's a brief history he
01:48:39.280 goes on for another couple of minutes and you can find the entire talk on youtube and rumble and all
01:48:45.460 of the uh social media video channels out there so it doesn't sound like russia are the villains
01:48:53.880 does it and as i pointed out earlier in the show tonight and you know again that is the word of one
01:48:59.620 man i totally understand it as i point out uh earlier on the show tonight there's all these
01:49:05.860 people putin bad putin invaded putin invaded putin is the problem putin's the one do you think
01:49:11.400 And Pierre Polyev believes that because when he came out with his statement about Ukraine this morning, before he came out with the statement, according to Poly, what is the the betting site?
01:49:23.940 Betting site. Let me look it up real quick here.
01:49:30.780 Poly market. So Poly market had him at 68 percent chance of winning the majority government in the next election.
01:49:40.120 68 percent and then when he came out with this it went down to 63 percent there's a lot of his base
01:49:47.560 who are not very happy with him and it's amazing to me how many politicians out there are still
01:49:53.720 rooting for war rooting for war if putin wanted all of ukraine and europe for matter like for
01:50:02.520 that matter like they've been saying oh he's going to come and take over europe he would have it by
01:50:06.880 now. The Russian military is that strong. They are the second strongest military in the world.
01:50:14.900 And by the way, they have the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads on the planet as well.
01:50:20.000 They're not small. They could have had Ukraine in days, days, but they didn't. They didn't advance
01:50:27.660 because that's not what Putin wants. Maybe he was a little bit afraid that the Americans in NATO
01:50:34.360 would come in, boots on the ground at that stage if they went any further. But again, Ukraine is not
01:50:39.600 a NATO country. They're not allied with us except for a few trade agreements here and there
01:50:44.660 and UN membership. Other than that, we're not in any treaty organization, military treaty
01:50:52.520 organization with Ukraine. We have no reason to be standing with Ukraine and giving them billions
01:50:58.580 and billions and billions of dollars. But that's not what the leader of the Conservative Party of
01:51:03.720 Canada says listen to this support Ukraine and its right to defend itself and to be independent
01:51:08.840 the aggressor in this conflict is Russia Russia carried out an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine
01:51:15.180 an invasion that has been mercilessly prosecuting for the last three years
01:51:20.120 and Ukraine has been the victim of that invasion all democracies need to stand with Ukrainians
01:51:26.620 and their right to defend themselves and reclaim their territory and any suggestion to the
01:51:33.660 contrary is wrong. I would further add that Canada could have helped defund Putin. We could have
01:51:41.620 approved the Energy East pipeline, which would have sent a million barrels of Western Canadian
01:51:46.880 oil to the Atlantic, where it could have been shipped to Europe. We could have approved LNG
01:51:53.200 projects in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, as the Germans, the Ukrainians, the Greeks,
01:52:01.260 and others pleaded with us to do, all of that would have broken dependence on Putin.
01:52:07.920 But Justin Trudeau said there was no business case.
01:52:10.840 He killed the Energy East pipeline, and Mark Carney supported him in killing all those projects.
01:52:18.260 Bill C-69 makes it impossible to send our resources out of North America.
01:52:25.400 So what we need to do is reverse this radical anti-Canadian energy agenda.
01:52:31.260 that Carney Trudeau have imposed and rapidly approve projects so that we can sell Canadian
01:52:37.800 energy to displace Russia and turn dollars for dictators into paychecks for our people.
01:52:44.940 All right, so he didn't come out and say we will stand with Ukraine until the bitter end like
01:52:50.600 Trudeau does, but he did say that he supports Ukraine and their ability to defend themselves,
01:52:57.600 to fight this war and i i suppose that could be taken as we have to keep arming them or that he
01:53:04.440 absolutely agrees with their right to defend themselves on their arm on their own so we don't
01:53:11.520 have to i don't know it seems like he's being intentionally vague with his answer on that and
01:53:18.420 of course he brought it back to mark carney and energy independence and and all of that stuff
01:53:23.160 which i thought was fantastic but at the same time pierre you have to take a stand on this
01:53:29.140 your base your votership does not want this war i can guarantee you that 75 percent would say
01:53:39.980 nope and you want to know what the 25 percent that say yeah ukraine i stand with ukraine
01:53:45.660 they wouldn't vote against you on this one issue that's what i think and if you want to guarantee
01:53:54.100 yourself a victory in this upcoming election you damn well stand with what donald trump has been
01:53:59.640 saying it's time somebody stands up to these clowns like canada is absolutely petrified any
01:54:08.540 canadian conservative gets somebody's petrified oh don't associate me with donald trump
01:54:12.700 donald trump won the election in the united states with a clear majority of the popular vote
01:54:21.200 and he landslided in the college so don't tell me america doesn't want what donald trump is doing
01:54:29.900 right now he's cleaning that country up at least that's what it appears now there's different
01:54:35.380 people who say ah trump is just a puppet of the cabal like all of them and he's doing this because
01:54:40.100 it's always supposed to have gone this way in the first place canada and the united states were
01:54:44.380 supposed to mend and yeah okay maybe that's true and i have looked into some of that and we usually
01:54:50.960 get into that stuff uh more in the extension when it's just on the website so we're not going to do
01:54:56.020 that tonight as for now for everybody who is watching this show right now it seems like
01:55:02.680 donald trump is is doing all the right stuff down there and no canadian conservative can muster up
01:55:11.000 the courage to say yeah it's time for us to pull out of this ridiculous war i don't care how many
01:55:17.620 people of ukrainian descent live in edmonton or winnipeg it doesn't matter i don't care if your
01:55:23.860 last name ends in chuck or ski it doesn't matter you're canadian you're not ukrainian you you're
01:55:30.920 great great grandparents maybe came over from ukrainian in ukraine in 1893 but not anymore
01:55:38.000 now you are canadian and it's time that ends that ends and the conduct of zelensky in the
01:55:49.080 white house on friday was kind of like a spoiled teenager and it sounded to me like trump was
01:55:57.660 dressing him down like a father who's pretty much had enough i've given you three cars you've driven
01:56:03.680 them all over a bridge i'm not giving you a fourth so what does donald trump do today now
01:56:10.960 this there's been conflicting reporting in this nick sorter on x says donald trump has halted
01:56:18.220 all weapon sales to ukraine and is considering freezing weapon shipments from u.s stockpiles
01:56:23.560 per the wall street journal that's what sorter says on x the u.s will no longer finance weapon
01:56:30.620 purchases for ukraine if selensky wants an endless war he'll have to pay for it himself we're out but
01:56:36.780 then on semaphore here trump has played down reports of cutting ukraine military aid he said
01:56:43.060 we'll see what happens so he's downplaying reports that he could halt military aid to ukraine even as
01:56:49.240 administration has stopped financing new weapons uh sales to kiev the wall street journal says i
01:56:55.160 haven't even talked about that right now i mean right now we'll see what happens a lot of things
01:56:59.160 are happening right now literally as we speak like tariffs tariffs are going into effect in a couple
01:57:04.600 of hours on canada mexico and china but getting into more of the history of ukraine russia here
01:57:11.640 is rfk honor and over ukraine have fought over there and he fought the karkiv offensive because
01:57:18.040 you know he he he looked at putin as a bully who had invaded this country
01:57:24.600 the war really was about security it wasn't about territory for the russians and what they
01:57:30.360 you know the russians for 30 years since 1992 have been saying you cannot put nato in ukraine
01:57:39.400 because the russians been invaded three three times through ukraine the last time when hitler
01:57:44.760 invaded them um he killed one out of every seven russians so they're they have a legitimate security
01:57:52.520 concern also we walked away from in the last uh six years from two nuclear weapons missile treaties
01:58:01.880 and two intermediate nuclear treaties that prevented us prior to that from putting missiles
01:58:09.240 in europe that could hit moscow so then we we you know when let me go back a little in 1992 when
01:58:16.360 the soviets disbanded the soviet union when gorbachev disbanded it he allowed us to unite
01:58:23.480 germany under east and west germany under a nato army they moved out the russian army
01:58:29.560 the red army 450 000 troops and um and but the one promise he extracted he said you you have to
01:58:37.080 promised me that you will not move nato to the east we james baker president bush john major
01:58:44.680 all said in england all said we will not move it one inch to the east famously and since then we've
01:58:51.000 moved it a thousand miles to the east and into 14 countries and the one thing they said is you can't
01:58:56.760 put it in ukraine and that's what precipitated this war we went in there in 2014 we overthrew
01:59:03.560 the government the elected government of ukraine put in a government that would invite nato in and
01:59:08.920 the russians um responded and and the russians asked for peace treaty we negotiated one france
01:59:15.720 germany negotiated the minsk accords and then we double crossed the russians and went inside
01:59:22.440 and then in april of 2022 um the zelensky negotiated another agreement and initialed it
01:59:29.240 with putin and putin was withdrawing his troops and president biden sent boris johnson the former
01:59:37.000 prime minister of england to kiev to force alinsky to tear up that agreement and since then
01:59:43.960 600 000 kids have died and they if that agreement had just if they just left it alone
01:59:49.400 donbass and lugans would still be part of ukraine and all of those mineral wealth and you know and
01:59:55.800 uh and we wanted the war and uh you know we've spent 200 billion dollars
02:00:03.560 which by the way we need in this country you know we've got a lot of desperate people in
02:00:07.720 this country now and we can't be afforded you know we can't afford to to uh to be
02:00:15.240 engage in wars that are this close to nuclear engagement and so trump is uh is going to uh
02:00:23.080 work on that with you i mean that was one of the things that you united right and but he said from
02:00:28.360 the beginning i'll settle this whatever you say about president trump he's a real estate
02:00:34.760 guy and he'd rather do a deal than have a war and that's what trump is doing right now speaking of
02:00:43.080 trump deals um i guess we couldn't make one with them regarding the uh fentanyl coming in and
02:00:51.320 you know border security and so those tariffs they're going into effect at midnight tonight
02:00:57.240 and here is trump at a press conference at the white house yet again this afternoon
02:01:02.040 on the tariffs is there any room left for canada and mexico to make a deal before midnight and
02:01:06.840 should we expect those chinese tariffs the extra 10 no room left for mexico or for canada no the
02:01:13.540 tariffs uh you know they're all set they go into effect tomorrow mr president just to follow up
02:01:19.100 my colleague's question and just so you understand uh vast amounts of fentanyl have poured into
02:01:24.700 our country from from mexico and as you know also from china where it goes to mexico and goes to
02:01:31.740 canada and china also had an additional 10 so it's 10 plus 10. and uh and it comes in from canada and
02:01:38.860 it comes in from mexico and uh that's a very important thing to say yeah please go ahead
02:01:43.340 All right, so Pierre Polyev says he's going to hit back with reciprocal tariffs.
02:01:50.040 Where it's going to hurt, that's what he says.
02:01:52.300 He's going to fine-tune, laser-focus the tariffs that Canada will put on the United States,
02:01:59.000 whatever that means, if he becomes prime minister in the coming election.
02:02:03.220 Mark Carney says he wants to put carbon tariffs on.
02:02:06.440 You heard Michelle Sterling and I talking about that earlier during the interview.
02:02:09.720 What is Christia Freeland, possible Prime Minister, on Monday?
02:02:16.000 Doubtful, but possible.
02:02:18.220 What would Christia Freeland do?
02:02:20.180 We need a three-part plan.
02:02:23.340 Part one is fight the tariffs.
02:02:27.040 Be strong now.
02:02:30.200 Tariffs are not yet in place.
02:02:32.040 And the Americans need to hear from us right now.
02:02:35.420 They need to hear from me today that if they hit us, we will hit back, and that is going to have an impact.
02:02:44.780 Something Canadians need to remember is, yeah, we depend on the United States, but they depend on us too.
02:02:54.460 They buy stuff from us. The stuff they buy from us, they really need.
02:02:58.700 And when they impose tariffs on what they import from Canada, they are going to make prices at the grocery store higher in the U.S.
02:03:06.720 They're going to make it more expensive for Americans to fill up their tanks with gas.
02:03:13.680 All right, let's just throw this up here.
02:03:16.060 Total value of U.S. trade in goods export and import with Canada from 2004 until just a couple of years ago and billions of dollars in U.S.
02:03:25.200 so uh here's what it looks like
02:03:30.080 this is exports into canada in the light blue and this is imports from canada in the dark blue and
02:03:38.980 it looks like yes they import more from us than we import from them however the size of the economies
02:03:47.240 are the thing here this we're not talking about per capita here we're talking about the size of
02:03:53.600 the economy so let's like the most recent year so the united states imported 421 billion dollars
02:04:03.080 worth of canadian goods now i'm going to be completely honest with you guys the canadian
02:04:08.420 economy is worth two trillion dollars two trillion okay so 421 billion dollars is a fifth
02:04:21.480 one-fifth of our economy on the other hand if the americans lose 353 million dollars or sorry
02:04:33.600 billion dollars out of their 30 trillion dollar economy it's not going to sting so much
02:04:42.800 like what does that work out to uh a tenth not even a tenth is it a tenth 30 trillion no i think
02:04:51.700 it's like one percent so this is what i've been saying the american economy is 20 times
02:05:01.000 it's not 10 20 10 times larger than our own and these tariffs are going to sting us badly for us
02:05:10.420 to go ahead and fire back tariffs to the united states yeah sure it's going to sting in certain
02:05:16.220 areas of the united states but it's not going to hurt them the way it's going to hurt us
02:05:23.600 and yet you've still got the big blowhards out there people like
02:05:27.220 uh doug ford the newly re-elected premier of ontario and before i go any further i just want
02:05:33.100 to say hello all you newcomers watching the shadow at night live stream i i see there's a lot of
02:05:37.420 people here watching tonight might be brand new i want you guys to know that we go every weeknight
02:05:42.500 at eight o'clock central live with the shadow at night live stream and we're on uh facebook and
02:05:48.900 twitch and rumble and x and what are the other ones at telegram and of course shadow davis.com
02:05:55.500 uh just like it's spelled at the bottom of the screen there we're not on youtube because i just
02:06:01.760 got a message last night from youtube that tells me i can't monetize on youtube because my content
02:06:06.760 is so horrendous it's so terrible it's so awful it's awful misinformation and disinformation they
02:06:12.460 say uh so i can go ahead and do shows on youtube but i just can't monetize and
02:06:18.660 come on like whatever i i think i made 20 from youtube anyway my youtube channel is not that
02:06:26.560 big because it's the third or fourth one that i've had and every time you get some momentum
02:06:30.700 going with youtube they take you down they just do it because shows like this one dare to go a
02:06:37.200 little bit further than your average political show that you'll find on youtube and they don't
02:06:42.980 like that too much facebook used to be bad for it as well but it seems like they've maybe turned
02:06:48.340 page hopefully in the last little while although i can't say that for sure because our friend wayne
02:06:53.940 uh was taken off facebook tonight a little bit earlier and i'm not sure if he knows what he said
02:07:02.800 exactly i'll talk to him about that a little bit later on wayne from what's up canada listen to
02:07:09.520 doug ford listen to him bellow on about how he's gonna respond to donald trump back before march
02:07:17.460 15 what can you do for the tariff until there and what do you intend to do about the tariff well
02:07:24.660 these are a couple of things that I'm responsible for as a province the federal government's leading
02:07:29.820 the charge the communication has been fabulous with a PM and the government as well I said number
02:07:37.680 one I don't start a tariff war but we're gonna win this tariff for right off the hop I've directed
02:07:46.380 the LCBO, we're the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world to remove every bit of U.S. alcohol
02:07:53.080 off the shelves. I know my good friend, the governor of Kentucky, he's losing his mind right
02:08:00.040 now. He said, you better talk to your president. Mitch McConnell, senior senator from Kentucky,
02:08:05.300 they're losing their mind. We purchased over a billion dollars of alcohol, 3,600 products,
02:08:11.740 35 states it's going to hit them we would call them the kitchen table issues then we're going
02:08:17.500 to cancel starlings right away from elon musk not that 100 million dollars makes a difference for
02:08:23.980 him but it's now i i'm going to continue on with this in just a second i just want you guys to hear
02:08:29.020 what he plans to do like right now he's going to be taking all these american products off the
02:08:34.700 liquor store shelves okay whatever whatever that's fine uh he's going to cancel starlink but watch
02:08:40.220 what else he plans to do after he's tired of encouraging you to buy Ontario first Canada
02:08:46.940 second watch what he's going to do it's principle I've directed the procurement of over 30 billion
02:08:54.520 dollars of goods not to go to the U.S. to make sure we buy Ontario first and if we can't find
02:09:02.560 it in Ontario and we can't build in Ontario we go across the country we have 51 tariff
02:09:08.260 tariff-free agreements with countries around the world we're gonna diversify
02:09:13.120 our trade I'm gonna I've been asking kindly for all all the retailers and by
02:09:19.900 the way this is a massive impact folks over all of Canada we purchase 800
02:09:27.220 billion with a B 800 billion dollars with the goods from retailers a lot
02:09:32.280 comes in from the US I love the the software people are just stepping up I
02:09:37.660 I love going down the aisle of the shopping store or grocery store and people are picking
02:09:43.000 up to look at the back of the label, they've come up with software to scan it, a lot of
02:09:47.620 people can't scan it.
02:09:49.260 I'm asking politely, until I implement it, every retail store, when you go look at the
02:09:56.860 shelf talker, it has the price, we need to see a Canadian flag on that price.
02:10:02.660 A lot of people can't pick it up and scan it.
02:10:05.280 So please, please work with us or we're going to legislate it and start on shoring goods
02:10:14.220 from you're bringing around the world.
02:10:16.500 There's nothing we can't build here in Ontario.
02:10:20.540 Absolutely nothing.
02:10:21.840 So I'm asking for their cooperation to do that.
02:10:25.220 That's billions.
02:10:26.220 We buy over 300 billion right here in Ontario.
02:10:30.440 So we're going to focus on that.
02:10:32.120 I've never seen patriotism like this in my entire life running wild across the country.
02:10:40.080 And we're just going to keep ramping it up over and over again.
02:10:43.760 So, Paul, these are a couple of things that start on the province, the federal government's leading.
02:10:50.240 Hang on, Doug, I'm talking here.
02:10:51.860 And so he said we're going to legislate it.
02:10:54.960 What?
02:10:56.240 You're going to legislate buying Ontario first and then buying Canadian?
02:11:01.480 you're going to legislate it so what does that mean if somebody's caught buying something
02:11:06.860 american they're breaking the law they go to jail they get a ticket what are you talking about
02:11:11.840 exactly legislating it what are you talking about man this guy is unhinged he is completely
02:11:23.300 unhinged unhinged and you know the sad thing is that if the NDP or the liberals had won that
02:11:36.160 election in Ontario last week it would be worse it would be worse think about the conservative
02:11:45.060 governments provincially that were empowered during COVID and how bad things got in Quebec
02:11:50.800 in manitoba things were terrible alberta probably not so bad saskatchewan things were bad
02:11:57.740 ontario things were bad these were all conservative governments imagine how bad it would have been
02:12:04.320 how authoritarian it would have been if trudeau acolytes like wab canoe and what's your name in
02:12:11.980 alberta um rachel notley were empowered during covet oh my god it would have been worse way worse
02:12:19.580 there's a little breaking covid news today regarding usaid and i'm going to drop that bomb
02:12:27.280 in just a second um so mark carney probably going to be the the new prime minister of canada
02:12:35.780 new unelected prime minister of canada next week the uh march 9th is when they have the vote
02:12:42.060 and so probably sunday night so monday will be the first full day with a new prime minister no
02:12:47.900 more justin trudeau yay yay but i mean somebody worse mark carney now speculation is that he's
02:12:54.420 going to call an election because we canadians won't be standing for any unelected prime minister
02:13:00.700 it's just not going to happen and if he tries to make the liberal mandate last up until october or
02:13:08.060 worse into next year because the constitution says government serve or can serve up to five years
02:13:14.360 that's when we have to go to ottawa for convoy mark ii we do there would be absolutely no
02:13:25.120 alternative at that stage of the game because then we're talking about a dictatorship here
02:13:29.620 kind of like in ukraine you got zelensky canceling elections yeah i understand they're at war
02:13:34.820 but he's locking up journalists over there he's he's you know criminalizing opposition political
02:13:41.080 parties he's doing all the things that dictators do and yet they cut the media and all of the
02:13:47.480 western leaders come out and say this is a fight for democracy versus dictatorship and evil and
02:13:52.300 oppression what i know they have elections in russia i'm not sure if they're fair
02:13:57.480 but i know they're still having regular elections in russia anyway mark carney has been running all
02:14:05.360 over the country lying his ass off lately he's been taking credit for getting us out of the
02:14:10.680 2008 financial crisis. That's his latest one. After lying about not being the chairman of the
02:14:17.120 board of Brookfield when the company moved from Canada to the United States last year,
02:14:22.120 even though he signed the letter and even though he chaired the meeting, that would encourage all
02:14:27.500 the board members to vote to move the company. He says, no, I wasn't part of that. I'd left the
02:14:31.980 company by then. No, you hadn't, Mark. You lied. He hasn't gone to the media and explained himself
02:14:36.540 regarding that yet and now uh Stephen Harper has come back on Mark Carney by saying wait a minute
02:14:45.380 this is revisionist history you're lying and that's why you're seeing all the memes on social
02:14:52.580 media about Mark Carney uh having invented the wheel and Mark Carney playing with the Beatles
02:14:57.580 and Mark Carney uh winning the first ever survivor and Mark Carney teaching Jimi Hendrix
02:15:03.040 how to play guitar because he's a liar and he'll lie about anything so mark carney hitting back now
02:15:09.000 at conservative well former conservative prime minister stephen harper for accusing the liberal
02:15:13.560 leadership front runner of taking undue economic credit responding to a letter harper penned to
02:15:19.300 conservative party members and set out as a federal fundraising blast carney's campaign
02:15:23.260 accused harper of being called on to save pierre polyev from a historic drop in support okay now
02:15:30.060 here's something else that everybody needs to understand when it comes to these polls. First
02:15:35.700 of all, they're not real. The second thing is, even if they are, there has been no historic drop
02:15:42.560 of support for the Conservative Party of Canada. If anything, the Liberals have risen at the expense
02:15:48.140 of the NDP, who are apparently not going to win any seats at all in this upcoming election.
02:15:53.940 so i believe that these polls are absolute total um suppression polls designed to make you think
02:16:04.080 the liberals are going to win so it's okay to vote liberal again it's a societal exercise just like
02:16:09.900 anything else and i saw something great today i'm just a little off topic i saw something great
02:16:14.700 today from a former cia agent who said you know how to tell when it's a psyop this is really easy
02:16:21.860 said there's one thing i think this is not joe rogan even the one thing is that if you can't
02:16:29.220 speak against it then it's a psyop if you get attacked for speaking against it whatever it
02:16:37.940 is whether it's ukraine or whether it's climate change or whether it's trans or whether it's
02:16:43.540 pandemic whatever it is if you can't speak against it without being vilified and othered
02:16:51.500 then it's a psyop makes sense to me if you ever wanted to know now you do uh but no amount of
02:17:01.200 revisionist history can take away from mr carney's proven record of economic leadership the campaign
02:17:06.960 said uh carney's team also doubled down on the assertion that harper approached him to serve
02:17:12.840 his finance minister in noting that the former prime minister could have picked polyev but
02:17:17.020 didn't well i think he was probably a little young back then polyev is only what 45 now
02:17:23.120 so 10 12 years ago 33 year old finance minister probably wouldn't have sat well at that stage of
02:17:29.180 the game with the canadian people uh the statement also included a handful of references to comments
02:17:35.280 made by prominent conservatives including harper of the job carney did as canada's central banker
02:17:40.560 canadians know that pierre polyev and his team bring no experience or plan to protect our economy
02:17:46.080 and no ability to stand up to donald trump in a national crisis blah blah blah blah of course so
02:17:51.400 the headline of this story talks about revisionist history and harper but it's all about mark carney
02:18:00.340 because that's the left-wing corporate media for you that's what it is it's it's a propaganda
02:18:06.520 machine that's all it is that's all it's ever going to be and that's why they're going to die
02:18:13.100 and i cannot wait for that to happen if you still have friends who are watching television news
02:18:19.320 please find a way to tell them that it's all bs everything they say not you see this is the
02:18:27.860 diabolical part not everything but much of the psyop stuff they're lying they're lying to you
02:18:35.960 And I will say this to you, that 85, 90% of those people who read the news to you every single night on TV at 6 o'clock, they're not journalists.
02:18:50.500 They couldn't write a news story to save their lives.
02:18:55.140 They could not come up with a lineup of stories to save their lives.
02:19:00.260 They are paid actors designed to get your trust.
02:19:05.960 they are carefully curated their look the way they speak the way they dress everything is
02:19:14.360 carefully curated now less or so at local levels you know if you're watching a local newscast
02:19:19.940 but nationally speaking everything about those people is curated to make you trust them
02:19:27.420 everything and you ever notice that little thing they wear in their ears that little piece
02:19:35.640 you sometimes see it with the coiled cord behind them they're being fed questions by
02:19:42.820 their producers if they're in the middle of a live interview
02:19:45.240 i spent 35 years in media and i can tell you exactly what's happening because they can't
02:19:53.020 think of a question themselves they are mentally incapable of it so they're being fed these
02:20:00.120 questions by a producer who's in a control room maybe 25 feet away behind glass
02:20:05.460 that's what's happening there these people are not at all who you think they might be
02:20:13.480 and you can tell your friends who still watch the tv news that stuff and you can say it comes
02:20:20.700 from a broadcast veteran of 40 years because that's what i am and that's what i've seen
02:20:27.000 um a news story now there are actual reporters who go out and do the stories and they bring
02:20:36.220 them back to the talking heads some of them are actual journalists and some of them are paid
02:20:41.560 actors it's very difficult to tell sometimes who's who if a story makes sense and it seems
02:20:47.160 like it's had a lot of of uh work and a lot of investigation put into it then chances are good
02:20:54.040 that yeah that's a real journalist this story here i think it was on nbc in 2006 talks about
02:21:01.640 flu shots and in 2006 we still had a semblance of media i guess their mockingbird operation
02:21:08.340 mockingbird was dormant at this time so watch this percentage of seniors getting flu shots
02:21:15.840 increased sharply from 15 to 65 it stands to reason that flu deaths among the elderly should
02:21:22.980 have taken a dramatic dip, making an X-graph like this. Instead, flu deaths among the elderly
02:21:29.020 continue to climb. It was hard to believe, so researchers at the National Institutes of Health
02:21:34.180 set out to do a study, adjusting for all kinds of factors that could be masking the true benefits
02:21:39.200 of the shots. But no matter how they crunched the numbers, they got the same disappointing result.
02:21:44.560 Flu shots had not reduced deaths among the elderly. It's not what health officials hope to find.
02:21:50.060 NIH wouldn't let us interview the study's lead author, so we went to Boston and found
02:21:55.280 the only co-author not employed by NIH, Dr. Tom Reichert.
02:22:00.280 We realized that we had incendiary materials.
02:22:03.180 Dr. Reichert says they thought their study would prove vaccinations had helped.
02:22:07.280 We were trying to do something mainstream, that's for sure.
02:22:10.320 Were you surprised?
02:22:11.320 Astonished.
02:22:12.320 Did you check the data a couple of times to make sure?
02:22:15.060 Well even more than that, we've looked at other countries now, and the same is true.
02:22:18.960 That study, soon to be published, finds the same poor results in Australia, France, Canada
02:22:24.560 and the UK.
02:22:26.080 And other new research stokes the idea that decades of promoting flu shots in seniors
02:22:31.240 and the billions spent haven't had the desired result.
02:22:35.320 The current head of national immunizations confirms CDC is now looking at new strategies
02:22:40.380 but stops short of calling the present policy a failure.
02:22:43.420 There's an active dialogue into how we can do better to prevent influenza and its complications
02:22:48.400 the elderly so what's an older person to do the cdc says they should still get their flu shots
02:22:53.920 that it could make flu less severe or prevent other problems not reflected in the total numbers
02:22:59.040 where have we heard that before oh it could make flu less severe really how it's designed
02:23:06.080 at least this particular drug was designed to stop you from getting it it's not a treatment it's a
02:23:14.720 vaccine but i guess it's not not really but keep getting it anyways but watch for cdc to likely
02:23:23.120 shift in the near future more toward protecting the elderly in a roundabout way by vaccinating
02:23:28.480 more children and others around them who could give them the flu
02:23:36.240 they were screwing around with us even back then this has been planned for quite some time can we
02:23:41.600 we do it with a virus we might be able to do it with a virus i think we could do it with a virus
02:23:46.900 absolutely we could and the simpsons joked about it did they not wasn't there that one episode
02:23:52.560 where all of the and they sing about the stone cutters i think that was the episode
02:24:01.440 okay so this is going to blow your hair back a little bit dr david martin has been saying this
02:24:10.320 for a while but he was unable to put the usa id piece to it because we didn't have that information
02:24:15.820 however canoka the great on x and this is from the new york post so it does come from a news source
02:24:27.960 and i have checked this against a couple of other sources and it seems to be a reasonable story here
02:24:33.940 USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, Dr. Ralph Baric, and others,
02:24:44.600 which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab,
02:24:53.240 research that likely led to the creation of you-know-what.
02:24:57.520 The CIA's deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer
02:25:04.580 when considering USAID's long history of serving as a CIA front organization
02:25:10.360 with an annual budget exceeding $50 billion
02:25:15.780 and activities in over 100 countries,
02:25:20.340 USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities.
02:25:24.780 Former USAID director John Gilligan once admitted the agency was infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people,
02:25:31.720 explaining that the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas, government, volunteer, religious, every kind.
02:25:40.560 In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the U.S. strategy to undermine Venezuela's government through USAID
02:25:48.820 by penetrating Chavez's political base,
02:25:52.300 dividing Chavismo, and isolating Chavez internationally.
02:25:56.680 In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID
02:26:00.380 funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform
02:26:02.920 intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba.
02:26:07.620 USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti,
02:26:11.180 Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations.
02:26:13.680 From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the Predict program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs.
02:26:32.420 This partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers.
02:26:42.400 In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former vice president at EcoHealth Alliance, publicly revealed that Dr. Peter Daszak's alleged ties to the CIA, the core issue.
02:26:56.300 The CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19's origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
02:27:12.400 and there's that story uh and here is video this is dr robert redfield formerly the director of cdc
02:27:21.520 saying that u.s taxpayer money from usaid nih state department and department of defense
02:27:27.880 funded the creation of cove 19. he's at a congressional hearing listen to what he says
02:27:35.540 I think just to emphasize, in early to mid-January, I did have multiple calls with Fauci, Farrar, and Tedros about how important I thought it was that science get engaged in aggressively pursuing both hypotheses.
02:27:52.380 I also expressed as a clinical virologist that I felt it was not scientifically plausible
02:28:01.500 that this virus went from a bat to humans and became one of the most infectious viruses
02:28:08.400 that we have for humans.
02:28:09.900 All viruses are not the same.
02:28:12.160 So when you look at coronaviruses for SARS and MERS, for example, when they entered the
02:28:18.140 human species, which they did via an intermediate, they never learned how to go human to human.
02:28:23.160 Even to this day, they don't know how to go human to human. So you can't equate Ebola with
02:28:28.220 a coronavirus. Now, why do you think you were excluded from those calls? Because it was told
02:28:32.940 to me that they wanted a single narrative and that I obviously had a different point of view.
02:28:38.380 Okay. Emails following the conference call for the 11 scientists told Fauci that they all found
02:28:43.840 the genetic sequence inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory, basically what you're
02:28:48.340 saying. However, just three days later, these four scientists had drafted a paper arguing the exact
02:28:53.860 opposite, and that's now the infamous proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2. Our investigations show
02:29:00.560 this paper was prompted by Dr. Fauci, among others, with a goal to disprove the lab leak theory.
02:29:05.660 What is the likelihood that these scientists came across additional information just three days
02:29:10.120 after making these statements to conclude with such certainty
02:29:13.140 that COVID-19 came from nature instead of the lab leak
02:29:16.160 that they thought it was three days earlier?
02:29:18.700 Yeah, I think it's unfortunate.
02:29:20.580 Again, I've said this before, that this whole approach
02:29:23.880 that was taken on February 1st
02:29:27.040 and subsequently in the month of February,
02:29:30.400 if you really want to be truthful, it's antithetical to science.
02:29:33.580 Thank you.
02:29:34.080 Science has debate, and they squashed any debate.
02:29:36.980 Thank you.
02:29:37.480 Given what we know now and looking at all the conversations in February of 2020 and before the release of the paper,
02:29:45.020 do you think that Dr. Fauci used this paper to hide the gain-of-function research created this virus?
02:29:54.960 I can't talk about Fauci's motivation.
02:29:58.340 Do you think that the paper does hide the truth?
02:30:01.440 I think it's an inaccurate paper that basically was part of a narrative that they were creating.
02:30:06.740 Remember, this pandemic did not start in January at the seafood market.
02:30:11.500 We now know there was infections all the way back into September.
02:30:14.420 This was a narrative that was decided that they were going to say this came from a wet market
02:30:18.760 and they were going to do everything they could to support it to negate any discussion about the possibility that this came from a laboratory.
02:30:24.180 I've got 20 seconds left.
02:30:25.140 Dr. Fauci was affirmatively told in an email that NIAID had a monetary relationship with the Wuhan Institute through EcoHealth Alliance.
02:30:35.900 He was told this in January 27th of 2020.
02:30:39.560 Do you think that Dr. Fauci intentionally lied under oath to Senator Paul when he vehemently denied NIH's funding of gain-of-function research?
02:30:47.080 I think there's no doubt that NIH was funding gain-of-function research.
02:30:50.240 Is it likely that American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this virus?
02:30:55.220 I think it did, not only from NIH, but from the State Department, USAID, and from DOD.
02:31:00.500 I'm out of time. Thank you very much.
02:31:01.740 yeah now that video goes back about a year i think a year and a half
02:31:11.040 and yet you still have these people oh you're such a conspiracy theorist
02:31:17.220 unbelievable but you can't fix stupid so um some people you will be able to reach
02:31:31.740 other people probably not but you got to use your own discernment to figure out who's who
02:31:39.620 in that crazy world uh it's people with people in my uh shadow at night community on telegram
02:31:47.860 are sending me funny gifs or is it gifs whatever it is i appreciate it oh and by the way the reason
02:31:53.380 that wayne peters allegedly we don't know for sure because there's always a delay from the time you
02:31:58.100 guys write a comment down to the time i see it and to the time that you're actually seeing me
02:32:03.940 say things there is depending on the platform you're watching on a slight delay in some cases
02:32:09.900 there's 10 seconds in other cases one second um so keeping that in mind wayne on what's up canada
02:32:20.240 tonight apparently played a video of zielinski as a baby and one of his viewers says that right at
02:32:30.080 that moment is when his show was cut off to the viewership so what wayne said was that the show
02:32:41.160 was able to broadcast still on facebook but nobody was allowed to watch it
02:32:50.240 I wonder how that would have looked.
02:32:54.160 And I'm happy I didn't play that video.
02:32:57.880 But then again, I mean, I've done some things that have gotten me banned from Facebook
02:33:01.740 or demonetized from Facebook in the past, so it's not like I'm a stranger to it.
02:33:07.600 That's the risk you run when you want to tell the truth.
02:33:13.620 And these social media companies, but I believe now more than ever,
02:33:18.640 it's governments or government agencies who work independent of actual elected representatives who
02:33:25.940 are controlling the show. I think CSIS has a lot to do with what gets on Canadian social media and
02:33:33.360 what doesn't. And I also think that the Liberal government, in particular the PMO, the Prime
02:33:40.340 Minister's office, has a very tight rein on whose show gets seen and whose show doesn't get seen
02:33:47.420 because they have direct lines into all of the Canadian representatives
02:33:52.740 at Google, at Meta, and so on and so on.
02:33:57.000 And all of the left-wing corporate media as well.
02:34:00.840 So that's how they've been able to push Mark Carney over the top
02:34:05.400 as compared to the other three candidates in the liberal leadership race.
02:34:08.960 That's probably how they got Wayne Peters taken down tonight.
02:34:13.360 Hopefully he'll be back up tomorrow night,
02:34:15.740 and hopefully this kind of stuff just stops happening
02:34:18.360 because it's antithetical to democracy.
02:34:22.380 Free speech, man.
02:34:24.180 That's it for the show tonight, guys.
02:34:25.660 We're going back to normal tomorrow night at 8 o'clock Central.
02:34:29.000 We're going back to normal.
02:34:31.660 So that means social media show, 8 till 9,
02:34:34.220 and then from 9 on, we do the extension on shadowdavis.com.
02:34:37.940 If you're an all-access member, you know this already.
02:34:40.580 If not, become one.
02:34:41.680 It's like $11 or $12 a month,
02:34:43.260 and for that you get all the extra content.
02:34:44.840 And I have the Shadow at Night mugs, very cool-looking mugs, coming in very soon.
02:34:51.260 And the T-shirts are coming in very soon as well.
02:34:54.080 I'll be giving some of that stuff away, but only to all Access members, probably starting at the beginning of April.
02:35:00.600 All right, that's it for the show tonight, you guys.
02:35:03.160 I love you all, and I appreciate you all.
02:35:05.920 I thank you for being here.
02:35:07.160 I thank you for taking two hours to watch the show tonight.
02:35:10.600 And I will catch you tomorrow night at 8 o'clock for another one.
02:35:14.840 Have a great night.
02:35:15.720 Bye for now.
