00:04:30.000 guitar solo
00:05:00.000 Thank you.
00:05:30.000 I've been wondering how to start tonight.
00:05:33.100 Normally, it's, hey, how are you guys doing?
00:05:36.480 Welcome to the show.
00:05:37.360 But tonight, I don't have that in me. 0.95
00:05:44.360 We had Katie Posidney on last night from Universal Ostrich Farm.
00:05:47.700 You may have seen that show.
00:05:49.360 They were awaiting the court ruling, and it hadn't come down yet.
00:05:52.820 and i asked her one question that i thought would be very difficult to answer towards the end of
00:05:59.960 that discussion last night i said will you be on site when the cfi agents cfia agents
00:06:09.400 come to call the birds if that comes to pass and she said yes we will
00:06:14.600 we'll need as many people here as possible as many cameras as possible
00:06:20.360 well today that ruling came down and the ostriches will be culled so we're going to
00:06:28.500 cover that in the first part of the show tonight unless a miracle happens and we can always hold
00:06:34.480 out hope i suppose jim kerr has been there for a while he's our buddy on the ground there he's
00:06:45.220 been doing daily reports, hourly in some cases. And we've got some video from him to play for you.
00:06:52.100 And also from the owner of the ostrich farm, Katie's mom, Karen, put out a very heartfelt
00:06:59.980 message just a few minutes ago that we're going to play for you as well.
00:07:05.140 it's amazing how you can have feelings like this for people and animals that you've never met
00:07:17.420 that you're two thousand three thousand miles away from but we are a community

00:07:37.480 obviously the ostriches
00:07:40.480 and they don't know 0.96
00:07:41.640 they're animals
00:07:43.320 they have no idea what's coming
00:07:45.820 what about the CFIA
00:07:52.900 goons who are going to come out and do this job.
00:07:56.540 Do they have any feelings at all about this?
00:08:01.020 I mean, this is going to be something
00:08:02.780 straight out of a horror movie,
00:08:07.220 if you want my honest opinion. 0.98

00:09:40.460 All right, let me throw this up here on the screen.
00:09:44.260 From the Save Our Ostriches X account,
00:09:46.800 the official announcement,
00:09:48.980 federal court decision in universe.
00:09:51.960 I'm not going to read the entire judge's decision.
00:09:55.120 It's long, it's involved.
00:09:59.260 This is the official statement.
00:10:00.800 universal ostrich farms versus canadian food inspection agency
00:10:06.700 dear friends and supporters we're absolutely devastated to share today's federal court
00:10:16.440 decision issued well today the court ruled in favor of the canadian food inspection agency
00:10:22.480 upholding their order to destroy our beloved ostriches and rejecting our plea to save them
00:10:27.600 and if you guys have been following this you know it's not just about family pets there is so much 0.80
00:10:33.220 more to this the court's decision accepted the cfia's justification under the health of
00:10:40.600 animals act and their use of the stamping out policy which mandates the destruction of animals
00:10:45.900 to control disease outbreaks even though these are healthy birds regardless of their health status
00:10:51.140 like where's the logic in any of this right the court confirmed the cfia's approach prioritizing
00:10:58.560 trade obligations over the welfare of our animals in addition we've been ordered to pay
00:11:04.520 fifteen thousand dollars in cfia's legal costs adding insult to injury that's my words not theirs
00:11:12.180 and the full decision is uh tacked to it if you want to read that it's on their x and facebook
00:11:20.840 and the website, SaveOurOstriches.com.
00:11:26.500 We are heartbroken by this outcome
00:11:28.880 and uncertain about the future of our farm.
00:11:32.220 As we navigate this incredibly difficult time,
00:11:35.460 we ask for your patience and continued support.
00:11:38.600 If you're able, please consider making a donation
00:11:41.020 to help us manage the financial and emotional toll this has taken.
00:11:44.860 Now, if you saw the interview, the conversation,
00:11:50.000 with Katie and I last night.
00:11:54.580 You know that Katie is not just fighting
00:11:57.020 and the entire family is not just fighting
00:11:59.860 for themselves and the ostriches
00:12:02.040 because they're family pets.
00:12:04.340 That's one aspect of it, sure.
00:12:07.260 They're fighting for all farmers in this country.
00:12:11.260 Imagine if you're a cattle farmer
00:12:12.700 and some weird thing,
00:12:17.060 some bovine thing started to spread around.
00:12:20.000 and one of your cattle died mysteriously, but all the rest were fine.
00:12:25.900 Then CFIA could come in and say, we're not taking any chances,
00:12:29.780 we're going to kill this 300 head of, or however many, head of cattle that you have,
00:12:34.220 and you would be completely and totally financially destroyed. 0.92
00:12:40.300 And they are doing that, by the way.
00:12:42.160 That is happening, not just at the ostrich farm, but all over the country.
00:12:46.000 And there are farmers who are standing up against it right now.
00:12:49.580 they're doing it anonymously. And I wish that they would stand up and show their faces and speak out
00:12:55.700 because you can't hide behind a tree anymore, man. Anonymity is our biggest enemy. CFIA could
00:13:05.500 never do this if there was a massive backlash, I mean massive, across the country to save the
00:13:12.980 ostriches and in turn save all the other farms that are being systematically destroyed by the
00:13:19.560 canadian government under the guise of keeping communities safe and healthy and you know where
00:13:26.140 i'm going with that here's jim kerr he has been on the ground at the ostrich farm for the past i've
00:13:33.580 even i'm going to say the past few weeks with a video he put up a couple of hours ago hello ladies
00:13:40.000 and gentlemen uh update from the ostrich farm here we have confirmation from insider sources
00:13:46.260 that the team or whoever they are the contractors whoever the government contracts we don't know who
00:13:52.940 that is yet so if you want to look into that that would be helpful we are looking into it but we
00:13:56.780 need more help who is the contractor that the government has employed to come in here and kill
00:14:01.200 these animals we have confirmation that it's going to happen within the next one to four days
00:14:05.580 okay folks so there's nothing legally stopping these people from coming in and killing these
00:14:11.180 healthy animals it doesn't matter how much common sense it makes there's nothing stopping them and
00:14:15.780 they're hell-bent on and determined to make this happen let me tell you about something else
00:14:19.700 looks like you know this this dump you ever see the pictures of the dump uchichinia dump or
00:14:24.340 something and how they're preparing for these birds did you realize that as early as last year
00:14:32.020 they had the contract to dig those holes now doesn't that kind of sound like maybe they might
00:14:37.980 have known this was coming doesn't that kind of sound like maybe they didn't come here and test
00:14:41.820 the birds that already they already knew what the test results were because they knew what they
00:14:44.400 wanted to make happen interesting eh there's all kinds of aspects of this story that stink to high
00:14:50.520 heaven folks and unless we stand up against the corruption unless we stand up against the violence
00:14:54.940 that's going to be incited upon this family and these birds unless we do that you might as well
00:15:00.040 say goodbye to canada he's right we let them get away with this under false pretenses which is
00:15:08.220 obviously what it is the birds are all healthy i'm not sure exactly how many days katie pointed
00:15:14.820 it out last night but it's over a hundred what's the point in this we're trying to keep you safe
00:15:22.620 we don't want this to jump to humans birds are safe birds are healthy
00:15:27.500 here's karen esperson that's katie's mom she's been the owner of this place for 40 years
00:15:40.520 hi everyone this is karen at the ostrich farm
00:15:46.200 uh the day came you know we never thought we'd have this happen
00:15:50.360 if we ever needed anybody's help is today i see all these guys behind me these beautiful majestic
00:16:04.100 birds do you see this these are our pets
00:16:09.580 this is what cfia says that they're going to come they've been approved one to four days to come
00:16:19.080 kill them we've taken years to be able to pet these guys walk amongst these guys 0.80
00:16:29.560 we love these guys they're all happy and healthy if we don't stand for this 0.92
00:16:36.680 and we don't pull together and we don't save all of these beautiful happy healthy animals
00:16:44.600 then what kind of world have we become
00:16:49.080 if i've ever asked for anything we're asking for an sos and we need people to come to our farm
00:16:56.120 today to stand up and do something they say they're coming in one to four days
00:17:06.760 that jumps supposed to be ready for bodies
00:17:08.920 you guys please if we've ever pleaded we're asking now for everybody to be that one voice
00:17:20.800 we can make the change we just have to do it together
00:17:24.240 we can't let them do this please come to the farm 301 Langell Road
00:17:34.800 come surround the farm.
00:17:37.620 Don't let them do this
00:17:38.700 to these beautiful animals.
00:17:43.780 301 Langeal Road.
00:17:46.020 L-A-N-G-I-L-L-E. 0.99
00:17:48.860 Of course,
00:17:50.280 no
00:17:50.820 violence.
00:18:04.800 These birds have obviously developed an immunity to H5N1, avian flu.
00:18:13.960 And the eggs they produce contain those antibodies, that immunity.
00:18:20.160 This farm is working with a scientist in Japan to try and isolate those antibodies
00:18:26.500 and come up with an actual natural vaccine.
00:18:34.800 to H5N1, but that's not what the government wants.
00:18:38.940 That's not what Big Pharma wants.
00:18:42.220 And so they're going to move in there,
00:18:43.960 and they're going to destroy these birds.
00:18:45.880 There's over 400 of them.
00:18:49.020 Some of them are 7 feet tall, many of them over 300 pounds.
00:18:53.800 This is going to be a complete and utter slaughter.
00:19:00.580 I don't know how they plan to do it.
00:19:03.080 One to four days.
00:19:05.540 Are they just going to walk onto the farm with rifles and start shooting?
00:19:09.920 And then what, drag out the carcasses in trucks to the landfill?
00:19:15.140 Which is a biohazard, by the way.
00:19:17.000 Katie pointed that out last night.
00:19:23.940 I wondered if I was going to get past this segment of the show
00:19:26.820 and carry on into other things that are going on.
00:19:30.380 And yeah, yeah, I am.
00:19:34.800 Harold Jonker is on trial in Ottawa right now.
00:19:38.460 He was one of the road captains in the Freedom Convoy.
00:19:41.160 Now, I know that a lot of people are concerned about Tamara and Chris, and rightly so.
00:19:48.780 The government is trying to take Big Red.
00:19:51.040 They're trying to give these two 10 years in jail each, fine them thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
00:19:59.080 By the way, the sentencing is going to be later on this month in a couple of weeks.
00:20:04.800 we'll try and get chris and tamara or one or the other on the show to talk about it
00:20:09.980 but harold jonker nobody has talked about really i had him on the show once i'm going to say it was
00:20:17.060 two and a half years ago when he was first charged and his trial has finally come up this is from the
00:20:22.600 justice center for constitutional freedom criminal trial proceedings continue for harold jonker
00:20:28.040 trucker from niagara who is by the way very highly respected in his field and in his community
00:20:35.920 he owns a trucking company based in the township of west lincoln in the niagara region of ontario
00:20:41.920 at the beginning of 2022 he was also an elected part-time town counselor for the township
00:20:47.440 on january 15 2022 the government of canada mandated that canadians who would not receive
00:20:52.520 two doses of an approved covid vaccine would not be permitted to travel across the border
00:20:57.760 between canada and the united states i know many of you know all of this but we do have new viewers
00:21:03.480 who are unaware this mandate effectively put unvaccinated truckers out of business
00:21:09.180 in response thousands of truckers and concerned canadians traveled to the nation's capital in
00:21:14.640 january and february three years ago now over three years to protest vaccine mandates mr jonker
00:21:21.400 joined the protest as a route captain for the niagara portion of the freedom convoy arriving
00:21:26.880 in Ottawa January 28th. He stayed in the capital for three weeks. While there, he did not park his
00:21:33.140 truck downtown, parking instead along Coventry Road some distance away. During that time, he was
00:21:38.360 not fined or charged with any criminal offense. On February 14th, the government of Canada declared
00:21:44.980 a public order emergency and invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian
00:21:49.420 history. Successor to the War Measures Act, the Emergencies Act grants the federal government
00:21:55.220 unprecedented executive powers to handle threats to the security of Canada. The invocation of the
00:22:01.000 Emergencies Act transformed the peaceful atmosphere of the Freedom Convoy protest into a tactical
00:22:06.140 operation as hundreds of armed officers descended on protesters and passers-by. The police crackdown
00:22:13.140 began in earnest on February the 18th. Within three days, the streets of downtown Ottawa were
00:22:18.860 empty, but social media platforms were full of scenes of brutal police action. More than 400
00:22:24.860 charges were laid during the suppression of the protest. More than 257 bank accounts associated
00:22:30.640 with the Freedom Convoy were also frozen, making it difficult for some Canadians to travel home or
00:22:36.000 meet expenses. Mr. Jonker returned to the Niagara region February 21st, 2022. Several councillors of
00:22:43.160 the township of West Lincoln were openly opposed to the Freedom Convoy and to any protests against
00:22:48.360 the government's response to COVID. On February 28th, 2022, a complaint was filed against Mr.
00:22:55.300 Junker claiming that he had breached the township's code of conduct by attending the Freedom Convoy.
00:23:00.180 The township launched an investigation determining that Freedom Convoy was
00:23:04.140 an illegal protest and that Mr. Junker had violated the code of ethics by joining it.
00:23:08.560 Of course, we all know that it's not illegal. It's never been illegal, no matter what
00:23:13.600 the government has been saying about it. On July the 18th, 2022, the township fined Mr. Junker 30
00:23:21.660 days pay and demanded that he repay the value of any food and gasoline donated to him by Canadians
00:23:26.900 during his involvement with the protest. The integrity commissioner's report relies on many
00:23:32.120 allegations about the Freedom Convoy, none of which have been proven in a court of law, Mr.
00:23:36.040 Junker said at the council meeting. He stated, I went to the protest as a truck driver and as a
00:23:41.300 company owner to support what I believe was a peaceful, lawful demonstration. He was there for
00:23:46.080 three weeks. He should know of anybody. On September 23rd of 2022, the lawyers at JCCF
00:23:53.740 launched a lawsuit on behalf of Mr. Jonker seeking to strike down the township's decision to finally
00:23:58.660 punish him for his participation in the Freedom Convoy. The lawyers argued that their decision
00:24:04.920 is invalid due to procedural irregularities, factual errors, and flawed findings in the
00:24:09.820 investigative report. Notably, the lawyers challenged that the finding that Mr. Jonker
00:24:15.720 had participated in an illegal activity. The lawsuit also claims that the township's decision
00:24:21.020 violated his freedom of expression protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
00:24:26.440 The claim that Mr. Jonker participated in an illegal activity is a suggestion that is not
00:24:30.980 supported by facts. It's also bewildering the integrity commissioner found that Mr. Jonker,
00:24:35.760 who is a trucker was in Ottawa in connection with his duties as a town councillor rather than
00:24:40.360 as a trucker and a Canadian citizen peacefully protesting federal and provincial COVID mandate,
00:24:46.020 stated lawyer Jorge Pineda. The sad truth is that Mr. Jonker has been punished for his political
00:24:52.380 position in the context of an ongoing dispute with other councillors. In Canada, we must tolerate
00:24:58.780 strong differences in political opinion. Elected politicians should not be permitted to weaponize
00:25:03.880 codes of conduct to silence and intimidate their political opponents. They're still doing it,
00:25:08.100 by the way. Just ask Lisa Robinson over in Pickering. The charter is intended to guarantee 0.76
00:25:14.120 free expression. Canadian democratic institutions cannot survive if such guarantees can be easily
00:25:20.740 ignored through these kinds of tactics. 15 months later, after the Freedom Convoy protest in May
00:25:26.340 2023, police charged Mr. Jonker with mischief, counseling mischief, obstructing a roadway,
00:25:31.280 and counseling others to obstruct a roadway.
00:25:34.080 Police allege that Mr. Jonker had been a road captain during the Freedom Convoy,
00:25:38.300 that he led the Niagara contingent from the Niagara region to Ottawa,
00:25:41.640 that he co-owns a trucking company,
00:25:43.240 and that he brought 10 Jonker trucking trucks to Ottawa with him.
00:25:49.780 Why was there such a significant delay in bringing these charges?
00:25:52.600 The Crown did not disclose that reason.
00:25:56.180 Mr. Jonker's 10-day criminal trial is scheduled for, well, right now,
00:26:00.040 until the 26th. At the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, he is chosen to be judged by a
00:26:06.540 jury of his peers. Mr. Jonker's defense will argue that his prosecution is an abusive process due to
00:26:12.440 the lengthy and unexplained pre-charged delay. They will argue that this significant delay is
00:26:17.320 unfairly compromised Mr. Jonker's ability to make a full answer in defense to his charges.
00:26:22.840 Lawyer Chris Fleury stated, Mr. Jonker and I are looking forward to defending these charges at
00:26:27.560 trial and fervently asserting his innocence. We're also looking forward to cross-examining
00:26:32.120 the Crown witnesses and discovering the reason for the significant and unexplained delay in
00:26:37.040 charging Mr. Junker. In May of 2023, Mr. Junker was also named as a defendant in the cases
00:26:43.420 Zexy Lee versus Chris Barber et al. Zexy Lee and other Ottawa residents are suing Mr. Junker
00:26:51.060 and other Freedom Convoy participants for $290 million. I say again, $290 million seeking damages
00:27:03.100 against peaceful protesters for allegedly causing a nuisance through honking or idling of vehicle
00:27:07.760 engines in downtown Ottawa. Yesterday, Monday, May 12th, the judge in the Jonker trial rejected the
00:27:15.440 Crown's last-minute attempt to have a witness testify remotely over vague safety concerns and
00:27:20.040 required the witness to appear in person for full testimony and cross-examination.
00:27:24.560 Defense lawyers also gained key admissions from Crown witnesses, including that emergency
00:27:28.960 routes remained accessible throughout the Freedom Convoy.
00:27:33.280 And again, this trial will continue for the next week or week and a half.
00:27:38.860 So that's something that we'll be following, because there are others that have been on
00:27:44.760 trial outside of Chris and Tamara, and they would be the first ones to tell you that.
00:27:50.040 From lawyer Bruce Party on X, here's another ruling that you might be happy about.
00:27:56.840 Alberta court finds WestJet wrongfully terminated unvaxxed employee.
00:28:01.480 Yesterday, the Alberta court of justice awarded severance to a former WestJet employee fired because she declined to take the COVID vaccine.
00:28:08.500 This decision may be the first in Canada to award severance to a non-unionized employee for being terminated rather than being placed on indefinite leave for refusing the vax.
00:28:18.300 If you're aware of others, please note in the replies, Bruce says,
00:28:22.060 Jiang Yi worked for WestJet for 11 years.
00:28:24.820 Before she was fired, she applied to be exempted from WestJet's mandatory COVID vaccination policy on religious grounds.
00:28:31.360 Employers can terminate employees if they're not part of a union, which is a different story, either for cause or without cause.
00:28:37.300 But if they terminate without cause, employees are entitled to notice or to severance in lieu of notice.
00:28:43.720 In this case, WestJet claimed to have fired Yee for cause for violating its vaccination policy.
00:28:50.340 Employers carry the onus of proving just cause.
00:28:53.520 While the court did not find WestJet's vaccination policy to be unreasonable,
00:28:58.680 it did find the company's treatment of Yee's application for exemption to be deficient.
00:29:04.580 Yee said that taking the vaccine would have betrayed her Christian faith.
00:29:07.980 Jesus is my healer, she wrote.
00:29:10.080 quote, I do not rely on the use of vaccinations or medicines created artificially in order to
00:29:14.900 prevent sickness. Jesus speaks of seeking out a doctor when one is sick, not well. I have no need
00:29:20.320 of a vaccine in order to maintain my health. The application form asked Ye if she had concerns
00:29:25.260 about the safety of the vaccine. She said yes. No long-term safety has been completed to ensure
00:29:30.200 they're safe and affected. mRNA is a new technology and side effects completely unknown. Never been
00:29:36.400 licensed for human use when long-term studies have been completed to ensure they are safe and
00:29:44.380 effective. They're still in phase three experiments, and that will not be completed until the end of
00:29:50.320 2022. But because she expressed concerns about safety, WestJet rejected her application for
00:29:56.800 an exemption. You've written in your application form that you consider the vaccine unsafe.
00:30:01.420 it's therefore reasonable to consider that you are philosophically personally opposed to mandatory
00:30:06.840 vaccine which means you are seeking accommodation for secular reasons not religious the court found
00:30:12.500 that west jet's refusal to grant the plaintiff an exemption even though it accepted the sincerity
00:30:17.880 of her religious beliefs was not reasonable the defendant's evidence did not explain why the
00:30:22.920 plaintiff his plaintiff's information was insufficient why her safety concerns overrode
00:30:27.460 her religious objections or what she could have done to qualify for an exemption. But the most
00:30:34.040 intriguing aspect of the decision was the court's finding that Yee's termination was unjustified,
00:30:39.000 even absent the request for religious accommodation. At the time of her dismissal,
00:30:43.900 Yee had already been working at home for months. There was no evidence that her refusal to
00:30:48.380 vaccinate would have affected the operation of her department or WestJet's other employees.
00:30:52.820 the court concluded that dismissal for cause was not a proportional response
00:30:57.400 even if the plaintiff should not have been granted a religious exemption
00:31:00.800 the court awarded ye 11 months of severance
00:31:04.000 note that even when employers are found to have wrongfully terminated a
00:31:07.740 non-unionized employee reinstatement is not usually one of the possible
00:31:11.300 remedies congratulations to the plaintiff and her lawyer
00:31:13.820 the decision is not yet posted on can lee the canadian legal information
00:31:19.100 institute database so you heard it here first if you're not on x
00:31:22.580 mark carney appointed his new cabinet today and we're going to get to this uh great piece from
00:31:30.400 the national post in just a second but first this is mark carney on how his government will function
00:31:35.960 moving forward prime minister rachel aiello ctv news uh you're two seats shy of one but should
00:31:42.280 canadians expect you to govern like you have a majority i what what uh thank you for the question
00:31:48.060 And, you know, we ran a very clear campaign on our priorities, standing up to the U.S.,
00:31:54.800 getting the best possible relationship, security and economic relationship,
00:31:59.060 but then at the core, building the strongest economy in the G7 economy that works for everyone.
00:32:05.140 I'll remind, not you, you'll know this, but those watching, we receive more votes than anyone else in any election.
00:32:15.060 We are in a position where we have cabinet members from all the provinces.
00:32:20.860 I'm very proud of that.
00:32:22.800 And a cabinet member from, a full cabinet member from the territories.
00:32:27.380 So we're governing for all Canadians, all regions,
00:32:29.760 with a strong and clear mandate that came out of the election.
00:32:33.580 And that's how we will govern.
00:32:36.040 It wears a strong and clear mandate, dude.
00:32:38.620 You're in a minority situation.
00:32:40.120 You are in a minority government, which we're going to get to in just a second.
00:32:43.840 And currently they have 169 seats with the one that was added in Terrebonne, Quebec, just the other day over the weekend.
00:32:51.220 But there is a dispute about that.
00:32:55.360 There's a story about that, and we're going to get to that.
00:32:58.120 But Danielle Smith, this is what she said last week.
00:33:01.180 Carney said he's going to govern for all Canadians in all regions. 0.77
00:33:04.120 Well, time to put up or shut up, bud.
00:33:07.320 Live up to the expectations of the premier and the people of Alberta.
00:33:11.920 That is why a large majority of Albertans are so deeply frustrated with the results of last week's
00:33:18.160 federal election. It's not that our preferred candidate and party lost. That happens in a
00:33:22.940 democracy. It's that the same liberal government with almost all the same ministers responsible
00:33:28.060 for our nation's inflation, housing, crime, and budget crisis, and that oversaw the attack on
00:33:34.040 our provincial economy for the past 10 years, have been returned to power. Now, as we all know,
00:33:40.620 one thing has changed. We have a new Prime Minister. And I will say that in my first
00:33:45.500 conversation with him since the election, he had some promising things to say about changing the
00:33:50.300 direction of his government's anti-resource policies. However, Albertans are more of a
00:33:55.640 actions speak louder than words kind of people. So while I will in good faith work with Prime
00:34:00.920 Minister Mark Carney on unwinding the mountain of destructive legislation and policies that have
00:34:06.660 ravaged our provincial and national economies this past decade,
00:34:10.420 until I see tangible proof of real change,
00:34:13.460 Alberta will be taking steps to better protect ourselves from Ottawa.
00:34:18.920 As a start, I will soon appoint a special negotiating team
00:34:23.020 to represent our province in negotiations with the federal government
00:34:26.420 on the following reforms requested by our province.
00:34:30.280 We hope this will result in a binding agreement
00:34:32.700 that Albertans can have confidence in.
00:34:34.520 Call it an Alberta Accord.
00:34:36.660 if you will. First, Alberta requires guaranteed corridor and port access to tidewater off the
00:34:43.300 Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic coasts for the international export of Alberta oil,
00:34:48.500 gas, critical minerals and other resources in amounts supported by the free market,
00:34:53.860 rather than by the dictates and whims of Ottawa. Every province in the country other than Alberta
00:34:59.780 and Saskatchewan have coastal port access and no province needs it more given the size and value
00:35:05.780 of our resources this will benefit all canadians to the tune of trillions of dollars of economic
00:35:11.620 activity including billions for first nations partners second the federal government must end
00:35:19.540 all federal interference in the development of provincial resources by repealing the no new
00:35:24.740 pipelines law c69 the oil tanker ban the net zero electricity regulations the oil and gas emissions
00:35:32.260 cap, the net zero vehicle mandate, and any federal law or regulation that purports to regulate
00:35:37.860 industrial carbon emissions, plastics, or the commercial free speech of energy companies.
00:35:43.700 These laws are destroying investment confidence and costing Canada and Alberta hundreds of
00:35:49.340 billions in investments each year. They need to go. Third, the federal government must refrain
00:35:55.380 from imposing export taxes or restrictions on the export of Alberta resources without the consent
00:36:01.160 of the government of Alberta. Frankly, all provinces should be given that same respect
00:36:06.020 for their resources. Well, she's absolutely right. Yesterday, she also said that Alberta will not be
00:36:13.020 raising the industrial carbon tax on any of the energy industries in that province. They didn't
00:36:18.780 decrease it, but they say they're not going to increase it either, which is a thumb directly in
00:36:24.100 mark carney's eye now mark carney keeps saying we have a strong uh strong uh mandate to uh from
00:36:34.100 the people of canada to uh govern and we will govern for all regions you know what he said
00:36:40.860 but they don't have a strong mandate they've been trying to get one there's three
00:36:46.240 judicial recounts going on right now across the country we haven't got the results of those yet
00:36:50.980 But one was settled, apparently, over the weekend in Terrebonne, Quebec, where originally the Bloc Quebecois had won this riding.
00:36:58.240 And then after the recount, it was determined that the Liberals had won the riding by one vote.
00:37:04.480 One vote.
00:37:05.800 But now we have another story that a woman who voted for the Bloc did not have her mail-in vote counted.
00:37:15.080 It was returned to sender because of a bad postal code or something.
00:37:19.840 elections canada says it's investigating after a voter in a quebec riding came forward with an
00:37:26.340 envelope that had been returned to sender inside was a vote for the bloc quebecois in the tarabon
00:37:32.060 riding where as it stands incoming liberal mp tatiana auguste was declared the winner by one
00:37:37.780 vote after several recounts elections canada said the return address printed on this elector's
00:37:44.100 return envelope was incorrect specifically part of the postal code we're all working to gather
00:37:49.580 the facts. We'll be able to get back to you as soon as we have more information, the agency said
00:37:54.260 to the CBC. The voter, however, remains irked by the situation. Terrebonne resident Emanuel
00:38:00.360 Bosay said she sent in her vote on time for the April 28th election. I wasn't the one who got
00:38:06.740 Elections Canada's address wrong on the envelope, she told Radio Canada. Elections Canada glued
00:38:11.560 this label on the envelope. I had nothing to fill. I just had to put my vote in there. She says she
00:38:16.480 mailed her vote in April the 5th, and it was returned to her on May the 2nd. August's one-vote
00:38:22.760 victory was highly unusual, making international headlines and attracting significant attention
00:38:27.440 on social media, as she appeared to flip a riding long held by the Bloc. On election night,
00:38:33.980 Terrebonne initially went to August by 35 votes, but after a standard validation process,
00:38:39.700 the result flipped to the incumbent Bloc Québécois MP Natalie Sinclair de Gagne by 44 votes. This
00:38:44.940 triggered an automatic judicial recount. A few days later, the results of the recount showed that
00:38:50.200 August had won by a single vote. I think it's the first in history, said a political commentator,
00:38:55.280 Frederick Berard. To recap, on election day, voters go to polling stations and cast their
00:39:00.900 ballots. Once the polls close, Elections Canada workers hand count the ballots and report the
00:39:05.300 results to a returning officer. The results are then next posted online and next comes the
00:39:10.860 validation process. We don't know what's going to happen here, my friends. This could be
00:39:16.500 interesting. If this vote does get counted, we've got a tie. What does that mean? They have a
00:39:22.760 by-election? Straighten the whole thing out once and for all, a do-over, best two out of three,
00:39:27.260 flip a coin? It's insane. Completely insane. Oh, by the way, after Mark Carney appointed his
00:39:35.820 cabinet today and there's a lot of the old ministers in this new cabinet a reporter from
00:39:41.340 ctv i think asked mark carney if if he was poaching or trying to poach anyway mps from the
00:39:47.920 ndp to join the liberals so they can form a majority watch this out and calling ndp individuals
00:39:54.320 about uh trying to poach them to join your party uh are you trying to poach ndp mps to join the
00:39:59.780 Liberals? Look, we, as I said a moment ago, we have a clear mandate. We'll work towards that
00:40:06.860 clear mandate. We're always interested in working with parliamentarians from any of the opposition
00:40:13.260 parties to support that mandate. Obviously, those discussions will intensify as parliament returns
00:40:21.340 in the course of the next, well, it's less than two weeks. So clear mandate, focus on those. Speech
00:40:28.220 on the throne will be quite clear in terms of our priorities we'll work with parliament
00:40:31.680 did he answer that question anywhere in that in that rebuttal did he say anything about poaching
00:40:40.580 no we've got a clear mandate we've got a strong mandate we're going to work with other parties in
00:40:45.160 the house of commons to achieve consensus he didn't answer it which means yeah they've been
00:40:51.060 trying to poach ndp mps and so far they're out of luck now right now like i said the liberals have
00:40:57.480 got 169 seats in the House of Commons. This is close to a majority. If they manage to win all
00:41:06.020 of these judicial recounts that are ongoing, they'll have 172 seats. They'll have to appoint
00:41:11.620 a House Speaker, which will reduce them to 171 seats. But in the case of any parliamentary tie
00:41:18.360 on anything, the tie goes to the Speaker. And because the Speaker comes from the Liberal Party,
00:41:23.280 you can bet he or she will be voting for the Liberals, so everything will pass. However,
00:41:28.920 with a one-seat majority, what if somebody gets sick? What if somebody can't show up for a vote?
00:41:34.340 What if somebody dies? What if somebody just quits? What if somebody crosses the floor?
00:41:40.060 Anything could happen, you guys. I mean, if we're talking about a majority that we have
00:41:44.760 absolutely no chance of overcoming, it's got to be by at least 10 seats, because things happen
00:41:50.640 in every parliament and in every electoral term and with a one seat majority, which they won't
00:41:56.800 get, by the way, I'm pretty convinced they won't get, they're going to fall and they will fall
00:42:03.900 in the next 12 to 18 months. But the damage they could do between now and then could be
00:42:10.900 completely irreversible, which means that Alberta will probably move forward with separation if
00:42:18.660 they can get the support of the people of Alberta.
00:42:21.080 Now, we're going to have Jeff Rath on the show tonight
00:42:23.860 from the Alberta Prosperity Project,
00:42:25.600 but the dummy double-booked himself.
00:42:28.020 He's speaking at a conference in Panoka tonight,
00:42:30.500 so we rescheduled Jeff's appearance for Thursday night.
00:42:37.260 And Jeff is also a lawyer, right?
00:42:39.240 And he's been very involved with indigenous rights in Alberta
00:42:43.100 and across the country for the past, what, 30 years, I guess.
00:42:45.940 That's been his bread and butter.
00:42:48.120 That's what he's dedicated his career to. And he is, as far as I'm concerned anyway, the authority on indigenous rights.
00:42:54.900 So do the indigenous, do the First Nations people have any sort of veto, any sort of say so over Alberta leaving Confederation if it comes to that, if the vote actually is successful?
00:43:06.100 I know there's a lot of chiefs been making noise. And Jeff and I talked on the phone about this this afternoon.
00:43:10.120 He said, no, they don't really have any legal recourse.
00:43:12.960 And I'll tell you what, the NDP got to them. And they've been rooting them on. So that's why they've been doing this. So I would imagine that Jeff will be able to talk to many of these chiefs over the next few months and calm them down about the situation.
00:43:28.020 and maybe, maybe get them to stop speaking publicly about things that they seem completely
00:43:33.900 unaware of. There is no interlocutor at all in any of these treaties that says, oh, and by the
00:43:42.380 way, if the province that the treaty is signed in decides it wants to leave Confederation, that
00:43:47.480 gives you some sort of magic veto power. It doesn't. It would go on like any other contract.
00:43:54.020 you know, when a new company buys an existing company, they also buy the employees along with
00:43:59.360 them. And generally speaking, there's sort of a clause that lasts anywhere between 12 and 24
00:44:05.500 months that says you have to treat these employees the same way that we were treating them during the
00:44:10.320 transition phase. After that two years is over, then you can do what you want. But in that two
00:44:14.780 years, I would imagine that many of these chiefs, these First Nation chiefs, would be able to strike
00:44:20.420 an even better deal with the government of Alberta, but a deal that works for both sides,
00:44:26.100 one that's not so... Well, you know what? I don't want to get myself in any more trouble than I
00:44:32.860 usually get into tonight, so I'll say one-sided, that both sides can really benefit from all of
00:44:41.540 the enormous wealth in the ground in that province. So it would be a better situation
00:44:46.900 for first nations and i i don't know why they don't seem to understand that at this point
00:44:50.960 getting to that national post article that i had thrown up on the screen earlier michael higgins
00:44:56.320 wrote this carney's cabinet of trudeau failures canadians thought carney would bring change
00:45:01.620 they were wrong
00:45:03.580 prime minister mark carney promised change hang on let me shut this down before it starts to
00:45:11.100 there we go all right so he promised by the way we'll get to polyev's comments about all this in
00:45:16.420 just a second. A new way of doing things at speeds never before seen. Yet to help him do this,
00:45:22.200 he's relying on the same old tired and competent ministers who got us into the mess we're currently
00:45:26.300 in. The liberals will trumpet the large number of new faces in Carney's 28-member cabinet. There
00:45:31.860 are 15 MPs who have never served in cabinet before. But the top tier of ministers, the one
00:45:37.420 sitting in the front row at the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, were all former Trudeau
00:45:42.120 acolytes cabinet ministers now committed to rescuing us from a crisis of their own making
00:45:47.500 in the front row sean frazier our new justice minister and attorney general and the man who
00:45:53.740 under justin trudeau was responsible for immigration and then housing two files he
00:45:59.100 spectacularly failed at if we want to know how bad frazier was in those jobs we need only look
00:46:04.580 to carney's election platform he said the last time we faced a housing crisis at such a broad
00:46:10.720 scale was after the second world war read the platform this crisis has left younger generations
00:46:17.700 facing rents down payments and mortgage payments so high that it turned housing into a barrier to
00:46:23.080 opportunity instead of a cornerstone to opportunity sean fraser i did that and now he's the the attorney
00:46:31.460 general what about fraser's record of immigration according to the liberal platform the trudeau
00:46:37.300 government let immigration grow at a rapid and unsustainable pace. In December, when liberal
00:46:42.360 fortunes were in the toilet, Fraser announced that for family reasons he was quitting politics,
00:46:47.460 and strangely, after the party witnessed a reversal in the polls, he announced that he was
00:46:52.300 returning. In Carney's eyes, Fraser's blundering on two key files qualifies him to be justice
00:46:59.740 minister. The only thing worse than Fraser as a cabinet minister may be Carney's judgment.
00:47:04.260 But don't take this guy's word for it, or mine.
00:47:08.700 Here's Pierre Polyev talking about it today.
00:47:11.380 In his first press conference, Mr. Carney talked a good game about reversing liberal policies in these areas,
00:47:18.260 but now we have to find out if he was serious.
00:47:21.080 And so far, it's not a promising start.
00:47:23.420 The first disappointment is, unfortunately, his cabinet.
00:47:26.620 He appointed Trudeau's old team and Trudeau's old advisers.
00:47:32.400 Stephen Gilbeau, whose radical green agenda would shut down all future developments in our resource industry,
00:47:38.460 is still the minister responsible for Quebec.
00:47:41.220 Sean Frazier was the immigration minister who caused the immigration crisis,
00:47:47.400 the housing minister who gave us the housing crisis,
00:47:50.900 and now he's the minister responsible for addressing the liberal crime crisis.
00:47:55.880 It seems like he is the master at failing upward.
00:47:58.760 Chrystia Freeland, who as finance minister hiked capital gains tax and carbon taxes and massively grew our debt to the point where we now spend a billion dollars a week on interest, stays in the cabinet.
00:48:12.360 Then there's Gary, Anna de Sangheri, the new minister of public safety, who said the actual crimes, the actual issues around bail are quite sound and they are embedded in, codified in law right now.
00:48:25.300 as in to say that there's nothing wrong with the system.
00:48:28.240 Well, in fact, there's everything wrong, as we see from the growing crime wave on our streets.
00:48:32.920 Then there's François-Philippe Champagne, Trudeau's minister of everything,
00:48:36.700 who never really managed to do anything.
00:48:42.880 And he did it very loudly.
00:48:46.620 So he goes on to roast this new Liberal cabinet.
00:48:51.260 But at the beginning of that press conference, something I didn't show you
00:48:53.980 is that Polyev came out, spoke in French for the first 10 minutes and then started speaking in
00:48:59.120 English. And he said, we are not going to instinctively oppose everything the liberals
00:49:05.120 do. We're going to give them time. We're going to give some breathing room to see if in fact,
00:49:09.280 Mark Carney is true to his word and that he does change certain liberal policies that are
00:49:13.400 absolutely reprehensible to many millions of Canadians. And then he started roasting the
00:49:19.000 cabinet. The CBC didn't like that too much. Here they are talking about Pierre's reaction
00:49:24.720 to the Carney cabinet. And talking about how he would not be opposing the government reflexively,
00:49:32.640 that he would do things in the best interest of the country and support the government in those
00:49:38.120 issues, and that he says he wants the country to succeed. He then spent the next 15 minutes
00:49:44.100 talking about all the ministers who were there previously and the things they did to ruin the
00:49:50.700 country, naming particularly Sean Fraser and Stephen Guilbeau, taking some questions about
00:49:57.580 how he will approach things inside the House of Commons. But overall, you know, it started out
00:50:06.340 in one tone and finished in another. That's all I'll say, because he leaned into attacking the
00:50:12.720 people that he thinks still represent, don't represent change, are still more of the Trudeau
00:50:18.500 government, and particularly don't represent the things that he thinks Canadians want right now.
00:50:23.200 Yeah, cabinet is broken, is essentially what he said, right? It's no longer Canada's broken,
00:50:27.560 this cabinet is not changed. A silent approach from Mr. Poliev, Rosie, that would suggest it's
00:50:33.840 almost as if he won the election rather than lost the election and lost his own seat. You know,
00:50:38.200 talking about uh how he's going to stand there uh in defense of canadians he'll only be able to stand
00:50:43.480 there actually in the chamber behind him uh because of the uh the goodwill you know it's
00:50:50.980 interesting listening to these two absolutely mock pierre pallia who is still by the way the
00:50:57.900 leader of the opposition just because he doesn't have a seat doesn't take that job away from him
00:51:02.220 and he will have a seat soon enough in Alberta.
00:51:05.980 Why aren't these two just wearing
00:51:07.720 red Liberal Party of Canada t-shirts?
00:51:12.160 The one thing that drives me crazy about the CBC,
00:51:15.700 aside from the fact that we know they're partisan,
00:51:17.500 is that they say they are right down the middle.
00:51:21.260 And they're not.
00:51:23.380 You guys know where I stand, obviously.
00:51:26.360 The way I report things to you
00:51:28.200 obviously comes from a right slant, correct?
00:51:31.220 a freedom slant a truth slant these guys comes from the left way from the left but yet they say
00:51:42.560 that they are absolutely non-partisan journalists isn't that something of the prime minister who's
00:51:49.480 going to call an early by-election for Mr. Polyev so he can run in one of his MP seats in Alberta
00:51:54.820 at the cost of close to two million dollars to have a by-election all while he stays in
00:51:59.280 storn away throughout this. So it's interesting that given that sequence of events and given
00:52:03.020 those series of factors, that it was that kind of approach and response to things there
00:52:07.140 from Mr. Polyev. Going after Stephen Gilboa, talking of the radical environmental agenda,
00:52:12.660 blaming Sean Frazier for the housing crisis, which is, Sean Frazier's, I don't think he's
00:52:18.620 40 yet, or he's just 40. I don't think he caused the housing crisis in Canada. There's
00:52:22.540 a whole bunch of layers and effects of that. But, you know, wanting to fight the same political
00:52:27.840 battles we've just endured during the five weeks of the campaign and for the two years leading up
00:52:31.340 to that well he should be fighting these same political battles that he's been fighting for
00:52:39.340 the past two years because it's the same people in these jobs and his job is to be the leader of
00:52:49.040 the opposition and he did say at the beginning of his press conference like i pointed out
00:52:53.980 he did say look at we're not going to react instinctively we're not going to oppose
00:52:58.100 ideologically we're going to listen to everything the government says if we don't agree with it of
00:53:03.140 course we'll stand up and oppose it but poly have said we want canada to do well and we are rooting
00:53:09.860 for mark carney to live up to his word which word i don't know because there seem to be
00:53:17.280 two mark carney's one that talks out of this side of his face and one that talks out of this side
00:53:22.420 of his face, depending on what part of the country he's in or what ideological mood he
00:53:27.660 finds himself in. Is he the Mark Carney from his book or is he the Mark Carney who said we're going
00:53:32.880 to get an east-west energy corridor going and we're going to start digging in the ring of fire
00:53:37.540 in Ontario? I don't know. Actually, I do. You know who Mark Carney is and you know what he's going to
00:53:46.700 do and what he's not going to do. Pierre Pauly of today was also asked about Alberta separation.
00:53:54.680 Here's what he said. To publicly denounce Alberta separatism and the Alberta separatist movement
00:54:00.220 ahead of a possible referendum on Alberta independence next year. Look, I'm I'm against
00:54:05.720 separation. I'm a born and raised Albertan. I love Canada. I think we we need to unite this country.
00:54:12.460 Albertans have a lot of legitimate grievances and let's be blunt they're
00:54:18.760 in their biggest Canada's biggest industry which happens to largely be
00:54:23.200 situated in Alberta has been under attack for the last decade they've had
00:54:28.000 to have lost two major pipelines a 20 billion dollar mine there's a new
00:54:33.880 ridiculous energy cap that's going to drive jobs and production south to the
00:54:38.080 United States of America there's an industrial carbon tax that's going to 0.99
00:54:41.920 kill the industry. And so, frankly, Albertans have a right to be frustrated. And I think the
00:54:51.320 message to the government in Ottawa, the Liberal government, is you can't tell Alberta to just pay
00:54:56.960 up and shut up. Albertans want to be part of a united Canada, but they deserve to be treated
00:55:02.720 with respect, and they deserve to be honoured for the immense contribution that they make to this
00:55:08.320 country and i will be a unifier who works to bring all albertans to a place where they feel
00:55:14.980 that they are respected and honored in our wonderful country well what else is he going
00:55:21.740 to say yeah yeah i'm all on board man no he's a federal politician he has to he has to say
00:55:28.180 that he doesn't want alberta to leave even if he had won the election he would have to say that
00:55:33.720 he would have to say that as the prime minister of canada he would have to say that now remember the
00:55:40.940 chinese ambassador to canada that i put on the show yesterday he was on the vashi capella show
00:55:46.420 with another on ctv and the chinese say hey hey look we just want a great deal with canada and
00:55:53.040 we don't interfere with what's going on in your politics by the way that also applies to state
00:55:57.800 to state relations as well.
00:56:00.920 And another thing for China and Canada to bring our relationship back onto the right
00:56:04.520 track is that we need to seek common ground while reserving differences in a constructive
00:56:11.800 way.
00:56:12.800 China and Canada have a lot of differences, and this is very, very normal. 1.00
00:56:19.160 Because we are different in history, we are different in culture, and we are different 1.00
00:56:22.200 in political systems and many other factors.
00:56:26.020 one very important goal of two countries to develop a relationship is to serve the interests
00:56:34.480 of the people of the two countries. Whether China has interfered in Canada's internal affairs and
00:56:40.280 whether China is a security threat to China, I have made China's position very clearly multiple
00:56:46.580 times and I am ready to share with you here today as well. I can say it very clearly to you
00:56:53.140 that China has never and does not have any interest
00:56:56.840 in interfering in Canada's internal affairs.
00:57:01.640 Really?
00:57:03.320 All right, let's bring this up here.
00:57:05.360 This comes from Sam Cooper, the Bureau on Substack.
00:57:08.940 Pro-Beijing diaspora group that lobbied to oust O'Toole
00:57:12.220 now calls for Pierre Polyev's resignation
00:57:14.360 amid PRC interference probes.
00:57:17.220 Calls for Polyev to step down
00:57:19.160 follows pattern of strategic diaspora messaging
00:57:22.200 amid national security scrutiny over foreign interference networks but hey no we have never
00:57:28.980 interfered in your politics in canada just so you know believe me man trust me we didn't
00:57:39.700 yeah you did here's another one for you ontario mayor remains hopeful honda's ev plant will be
00:57:47.820 built despite delay. I'm not sure if you heard this, but Honda Canada has decided to postpone
00:57:53.780 for two years the building of this new EV plant in Ontario. The mayor of an Ontario municipality
00:58:01.400 is set to be the home for Honda's now postponed $15 billion electric vehicle project, said today
00:58:08.080 he's not giving up hope on the plant. This is near Windsor. New Tecumseh Mayor Richard Norcross
00:58:13.800 said he is disappointed with honda's decision but he'll continue to advocate for the project
00:58:18.040 blah blah blah blah blah so honda receives 2.5 billion dollars in funding from the federal
00:58:26.900 government through incentives and tax breaks another 2.5 billion dollars in funding through
00:58:34.320 incentives and tax breaks from the ontario government totaling five billion dollars with a
00:58:40.520 B. No, no, you know what? We're not going to build it for a couple more years.
00:58:45.540 No, you know, we're not really as excited about it as we were just last July.
00:58:50.680 Last July, here's Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford just going on and on about the new economy,
00:58:56.000 and everybody's going to be driving an EV in less than 10 years.
00:58:59.480 The Conservative Party of Canada has said very clearly it would not have made this choice of investing in EVs, investing in workers.
00:59:07.980 But the reality is, as a great Canadian once said, you need to go where the puck is going.
00:59:14.980 The global economy is going towards net zero. Manufacturing is going towards electric vehicles.
00:59:22.980 In the EV industry, the government of Ontario, Canada has positioned itself to be a leader in the EV industry,
00:59:30.980 and we will continue to be, because those are where the jobs are going to be,
00:59:34.980 not just a couple of years from now but a decade from now a generation from now and over the coming
00:59:41.320 decades yeah yeah like that big cricket factory cricket powder factory in london ontario that
00:59:50.760 closed down after all that government funding that's that should be good news to people like
00:59:58.100 us their plan is not working maybe that's why they tried to send in mark carney but don't think for
01:00:04.400 one second that donald trump doesn't know what mark carney is trying to do he knows he absolutely
01:00:11.720 knows even as he was over in saudi arabia arabia today trump making billions of dollars in new
01:00:18.840 deals 600 billion dollars in new deals with the saudis apparently today here's charlie kirk and
01:00:26.320 rand paul discussing news today is that president donald trump is in saudi arabia announcing a
01:00:32.560 closer partnership with many Gulf states. Something I know that you and I both care about
01:00:37.120 is trying to prevent a war with Iran. It seems as if some of the neocons in D.C. have been talking
01:00:41.380 about more and more military engagement in Yemen and against Iran. How do you think we should
01:00:47.220 balance an alliance with some Gulf states all the while trying to prevent another no-win endless war
01:00:54.120 in the Middle East? You know, I commend the president for going to the Middle East. Some of
01:00:59.020 Democrats are up in arms, you know, criticizing it. But part of diplomacy is showing up, being in
01:01:04.540 the areas, talking to the leaders, and then ultimately trying to, you know, resolve differences
01:01:10.380 with diplomacy rather than war. I do think that the wars in the Middle East and the tension in
01:01:15.820 the Middle East, sometimes we don't pay enough attention to the conflict that is between Iran
01:01:20.460 and Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. So there's considerable amount of tension,
01:01:25.180 and it goes into the thinking of Iran as well, not just their animosity or relationship with
01:01:30.860 the US, but also their relationship with Israel, which is pretty obvious, but then also their
01:01:35.900 relationship with the Gulf states as well. And ultimately, to get to some sort of peace
01:01:41.100 agreement with Iran, I'm proud of President Trump for actually opening dialogue and discussion,
01:01:47.420 but to get to peace, ultimately, it has to, I think, sort of include some of the Gulf states
01:01:52.540 as well, including Saudi Arabia. So Saudi Arabia could be a more constructive player
01:01:57.980 here. And hopefully that's part of the discussions. Yeah. And so let's broaden this a little bit
01:02:03.520 more. There are some in D.C. that seems so insistent on trying to escalate military tensions
01:02:10.940 with Iran. You are without a doubt one of the most morally clear and principled members
01:02:16.860 of the Republican conference against war and actually want to see us invest money and in
01:02:22.420 own country and to defend liberty what is the status of this it seems like there has been an
01:02:27.620 increase in the amount of chatter about potential military strikes against iran let's just let me
01:02:34.180 ask it this way why would an american military strike against iran be a bad idea some people
01:02:40.100 in our audience who i really respect say charlie they can't have a nuclear weapon it's just military
01:02:44.420 strikes it's just air strikes against an airfield or against i think nobody wants them yes nobody
01:02:50.580 wants them, including myself, to have nuclear weapons, but strictly from a military point
01:02:55.680 of view of how we prevent that, once they get to enrichment of, say, 95 to 98 percent,
01:03:02.380 you can probably have a cupful of uranium that is enriched that much, and that can be
01:03:06.260 enough for a bomb.
01:03:07.660 So once you have about 10 cupfuls, you've got enough for 10 bombs, and can that be hidden
01:03:11.580 in places that you can't militarily get to without a ground invasion and taking over 0.88
01:03:15.980 every inch of Iran? 0.79
01:03:17.980 Probably it will be difficult.
01:03:19.640 So ultimately, the discussion about trying to get an agreement is one that is going to
01:03:26.360 be necessary.
01:03:27.360 I think you can't really bomb them out of the nuclear age.
01:03:30.060 You have to sort of have a negotiation.
01:03:32.880 We have a great deal of leverage.
01:03:34.880 They have an economy that hurts.
01:03:37.420 They have an economy that doesn't do very well.
01:03:39.200 Their people aren't necessarily that happy.
01:03:41.360 But I think we should use our sanctions in a way we rarely do, and that is to trade them,
01:03:46.040 sanction relief and trade and the benefits that come up with that allowing them to participate
01:03:50.920 in the world market in exchange for them not enriching and you know there have been discussions
01:03:55.640 of them not enriching uh or anything they've enriched above a certain amount trading that out
01:04:01.720 and not enriching above a certain percentage and i think that's something we ought to explore
01:04:05.960 i think trump is exploring it and i'm uh excited at least optimistic that these discussions are
01:04:12.440 ongoing very very interesting yesterday we told you that Donald Trump had cut ties at least
01:04:21.400 publicly with Benjamin Netanyahu the prime minister of Israel Israel because of fears of
01:04:28.820 perceived manipulation by the Israelis on the Americans interesting Donald Trump also cultivated
01:04:37.740 a treaty of peace before leaving office the last time in the Middle East, can he do it again?
01:04:45.100 And can he get all of that money in the Middle East invested into the United States? Well,
01:04:50.520 so far at least, he's got $600 billion in deals. And by the way, you can go and look for this
01:04:56.980 yourself on X if you like. When he touched down in Saudi Arabia today, he was treated like a king,
01:05:05.820 like gold as a matter of fact the prince himself who didn't go to greet joe biden when he went to
01:05:11.880 saudi arabia the prince himself ushered donald uh trump around old saudi arabia in a golf cart
01:05:20.200 today highly enforced golf cart with many many secret service agents around and that's one thing
01:05:28.620 i worry about if trump is going to start doing these things that are continuing to fly in the
01:05:34.340 face of all of the establishment politicians and bureaucrats let's just say there could be and
01:05:42.980 probably will be another attempt on his life very very soon by the way do you guys know how many
01:05:48.680 countries there are in the world that have nuclear weapons just take a guess throw it down in the
01:05:52.420 in the comments i want to see if anybody knows this without googling without searching for it
01:05:56.820 please, just to see if you guys know this stuff.
01:06:01.920 How many countries in the world have nuclear weapons right now?
01:06:09.000 Anybody know?
01:06:10.480 Colleen says 23.
01:06:11.700 That's a bit high.
01:06:13.500 13, Bob says.
01:06:14.880 That's a little bit high.
01:06:16.080 Agatha says 5.
01:06:17.300 That's a little bit low.
01:06:19.020 Maida says 5.
01:06:20.060 That's low.
01:06:21.580 Ronald says 6 or 8.
01:06:23.660 It's 9.
01:06:25.500 Now, what are the nine countries that have nuclear weapons?
01:06:29.340 They are obviously the United States, Russia, China.
01:06:33.780 We know those three. 0.99
01:06:34.720 Those are easy. 0.97
01:06:36.960 France, the United Kingdom, North Korea, Israel, and Pakistan and India,
01:06:46.200 who were skirmishing just last week, and Donald Trump put an end to that as well.
01:06:53.200 Well, he claims he did.
01:06:55.040 The administration did.
01:06:56.680 They just said, look, if you guys are going to keep fighting like this,
01:06:58.860 we're not going to do any business with you.
01:07:00.340 It's amazing.
01:07:02.520 The power of the dollar.
01:07:04.800 And Donald Trump reestablishing the power of that U.S. petrodollar all over the world.
01:07:11.180 Another question.
01:07:11.760 You guys know, I'm not even sure if I should say this, frazzled drip.
01:07:17.400 You guys know this?
01:07:20.020 Anybody?
01:07:21.720 Canada has toilets and masks. 1.00
01:07:23.300 and tampons in men's rooms. 0.88
01:07:30.880 Anybody know that name, Frazzledrip?
01:07:35.460 Anybody?
01:07:41.200 Michael, I know it too well.
01:07:43.880 Eddie says, yes, I know it.
01:07:46.260 Frazzledrip is what we're going to be concentrating on
01:07:48.900 during the extension tonight
01:07:50.540 for the all-access Nighthawks on shadowdavis.com.
01:07:54.200 And the reason for that is this bombshell
01:07:57.980 that James O'Keefe dropped on X today.
01:08:01.520 Let's watch.
01:08:02.000 O'Keefe Media is releasing never-before-seen footage
01:08:04.860 from inside the buildings on Jeffrey Epstein's island.
01:08:08.660 The island, known as Little St. James,
01:08:10.960 is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
01:08:13.960 Drones have flown overhead in the past,
01:08:16.200 independent journalists have snuck ashore,
01:08:18.200 but no footage or images from inside these buildings has ever been published until now.
01:08:25.220 This footage was captured about a year after Epstein's arrest.
01:08:29.180 In this world-exclusive, O'Keefe Media Group takes you through the kitchen inside the main mansion,
01:08:35.260 a villa used for hosting high-profile visitors and events.
01:08:38.940 Through our reporting, we can confirm this footage is authentic.
01:08:42.960 You'll see the entire kitchen is a sterile white with stainless steel appliances.
01:08:47.780 There are sparse decorations, including a few pieces of coral, but there does appear one prominent artwork, a large framed photo of a nude baby in a sink.
01:08:59.400 The baby is holding a phallic-shaped object.
01:09:03.280 The image is hung above the kitchen table.
01:09:06.240 It begs the question, why did Jeffrey Epstein choose to place this image inside of a kitchen where visitors would eat, cook, and entertain?
01:09:14.980 The publication of this footage comes on the heels of a report last week of a royal fixer
01:09:20.180 admitting Prince Andrew had sex with underage girls.
01:09:26.720 And also after a report last week on Attorney General Pam Bondi.
01:09:35.820 Since those reports aired, we've received an uptick in outreach and tips, and we've
01:09:41.460 heard from these sources that they don't trust anybody due to the lack of transparency and
01:09:46.620 accountability in the United States government. We increasingly find ourselves in a circumstance
01:09:51.100 where none of the criminals in the most powerful institutions in America are held to account
01:09:56.420 for anything. And yet I report to you today, the truth always finds a way and courage begets
01:10:03.720 courage, which we know is happening as a result of these reports because people are coming forward
01:10:10.400 to us. Now, for the first time, I'm going to take you on a tour inside the buildings on Epstein
01:10:16.280 Island in a series of video reports. We'll be dropping more soon. Support us and continue to
01:10:22.800 look for our next breaking news on our website at O'KeefeMediaGroup.com. Subscribe and you will get
01:10:29.280 our reports first. And if you are one of the courageous ones who wants to tell the truth
01:10:34.280 and shame the devil, reach out to us on our signal at 914-491-9395.
01:10:43.040 Stay tuned.
