00:00:00.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.000 Thank you.
00:01:00.000 Thank you.
00:01:30.000 Thank you.
00:02:00.000 Thank you.
00:02:30.000 Thank you.
00:03:00.000 Thank you.
00:03:30.000 Hello, everybody. How you doing? Welcome to Shadow at Night.
00:03:38.920 It's Tuesday, May the 30th, 2023, and hopefully, we got our fingers crossed, hopefully on the show tonight,
00:03:45.180 Greg Hill, who is the co-founder and director at FreeToFly.ca, FreeToFly.ca.
00:03:52.400 They have launched a class-action lawsuit against the Trudeau government as of last week,
00:03:57.500 And I haven't got him yet, but hopefully we'll have Greg on the air at some point in the next 10 or so minutes.
00:04:04.340 He could tell us all about Free to Fly, his personal story and how he got here.
00:04:08.760 And of course, the lawsuit they launched last week.
00:04:11.240 So, so I'm looking forward to that again.
00:04:15.220 Fingers crossed. And hopefully we can get through these technical difficulties and get him on the show.
00:04:21.120 Here's something that Greg wrote and put on the website a while back.
00:04:24.360 And I found this particularly profound.
00:04:28.580 Central pillars of our liberal democracies are eroding.
00:04:33.000 We're losing free speech and bodily autonomy.
00:04:35.980 Groupthink and cancel culture are rising while the electronic surveillance state controls much of life.
00:04:42.660 As if these weren't enough, those in positions of authority seem committed to undermining ready access to food, travel, and human contact.
00:04:51.120 Most believe we're powerless.
00:04:53.680 Why?
00:04:54.360 many who fled oppressive regimes for the once appealing democratic west can answer
00:04:59.900 we forget history we falsely believe we can defeat authoritarianism while maintaining creature
00:05:06.820 comforts illusions of safety and our societal status we believe going along will bridge an
00:05:13.040 inconvenient season of crazed policy when in reality we cling to twigs of reputation
00:05:18.100 ease and illusory scrutiny while facing a tsunami of totalitarian control that risks the destruction
00:05:25.500 of our freedom. There is only one way to arrest this trend. Men and women must courageously and
00:05:32.200 publicly take unrelenting positions against it. We must refuse to assent to the lies dismantling
00:05:38.640 our societies, tearing away our freedoms, and removing our power as free beings. We are not
00:05:44.980 powerless when standing together aligning ourselves on the common fortified ground of
00:05:49.580 integrity truth courage and self-sacrifice alexander solnitsyn in a 1974 article live or
00:05:58.100 sorry live not by lies penned these words in a call to corporate courage we need not be the
00:06:05.740 first to set out on this path ours is but to join the more of us set out together the thicker our
00:06:11.160 ranks, the easier and shorter will this path be for us all. If we become thousands, they will not
00:06:18.200 cope. They will be unable to touch us. If we will grow to tens of thousands, we will not recognize
00:06:25.700 our country. A declaration follows, my friends, and here it is. I declare all that follows,
00:06:31.820 calling out as a lie the societal claim that change is impossible. It begins with me,
00:06:37.220 as proven last night in Alberta. I will wholeheartedly pursue truth and will not speak,
00:06:44.060 sign, or write anything that is not, as far as I know, the truth. I will, in spite of the cost,
00:06:50.440 speak out against lies. I will stand alone, if need be, knowing that freedom is the sure
00:06:56.700 possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Pericles. I will not repeat nor 0.99
00:07:03.180 support radically progressive ideological mantras. I will walk out of state, corporate,
00:07:08.460 or privately enforced indoctrinations of the same. I will not acquiesce to the state's violation of
00:07:14.760 my God-given freedoms of speech, worship, conscience, and bodily autonomy. I will persevere
00:07:21.960 in the face of threats to livelihood, status, or reputation in spite of the pain or my own
00:07:27.980 self-doubt. I will support with my words, actions, and finances others convicted of this need for a
00:07:34.440 relentless commitment to truth, freedom, and conscience. All this I undertake knowing I may
00:07:39.740 suffer loss of the fragile constructs of social status, comfort, and safety. I am willing to do
00:07:46.080 so in exchange for the far superior and lasting bedrock of truth upon which our futures and
00:07:52.120 freedom and that of our children must be grounded written by greg hill free to fly and hopefully
00:08:00.180 we'll get him on the show before the top of the hour here all right let's go say some hellos

00:10:44.060 Miracle on the prairies, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:46.780 The show is brought to you by CanadaNanoSilver.ca and by Tacit Investigations and Security.
00:10:55.200 United Conservatives win majority government.
00:10:58.720 We still don't exactly know the seat distribution yet.
00:11:01.940 It looks like 48-38-1, because an independent one, we'll get to that story in just a second, very tight election.
00:11:10.000 It didn't look like it as we were covering it live last night as I was switching through all the left-wing BS corporate media who were just doing an abysmal job of election coverage.
00:11:19.540 I mean, I called it out last night.
00:11:22.220 I was not happy at all with it.
00:11:24.020 But on the other hand, it's the only thing you can watch when it comes to election coverage.
00:11:28.580 unless you've got a contract with elections canada which means you get and it's expensive
00:11:34.100 you get the results as they come out to the electors right so the same time the parties
00:11:39.660 get them you get them but apparently rebel news or western standard or true north don't have that
00:11:45.360 contract yet as i say it's expensive all those other left-wing corporate media outlets are
00:11:50.400 sponsored by the federal government of canada in part so anyway here's the story from the canadian
00:11:56.940 press the united concern oh by the way i'm not sure if you if you're on twitter if you are i'm
00:12:01.960 sure you saw all kinds of lefty marxists crying yelling and screaming i'm never going back to
00:12:07.320 alberta again i'm leaving just like when trump won the presidency in the united states back in
00:12:13.700 2016 hilarious all of those lefties i'm leaving they didn't go anywhere because they're a bunch 0.96
00:12:19.440 of liars they have no commitment they have no dedication they're they're just you know what 0.98
00:12:24.780 They are. We covered it last night on the show.
00:12:26.960 They are narcissists and they are psychopaths and they virtue signal and they whine and they complain and they think it's for the greater good. 0.86
00:12:34.820 But it's not really. It's only for them and their fragile egos. 0.97
00:12:37.720 Anyway, getting back to the story, the UCP emerged bloodied but still standing in Monday's bitterly contested provincial election.
00:12:47.100 Danielle Smith's UCP dominated outside the two big cities while retaining enough support in Calgary to overcome an NDP sweep in Edmonton.
00:12:54.780 and win a second consecutive majority government.
00:12:57.980 To paraphrase our dear friend and former Alberta Premier, Ralph Klein.
00:13:02.540 I met Ralph Klein one time at a homeless shelter in Calgary, it was, about 25 years ago.
00:13:08.440 He was hammered.
00:13:10.120 But anyway, Danielle said,
00:13:12.260 Welcome to another miracle on the prairie, she told cheering supporters on the Calgary Stampede grounds.
00:13:17.340 Smith thanked the hundreds of thousands of Albertans who voted UCP, but also addressed those who did not.
00:13:23.380 This is what she said.
00:13:24.220 though i didn't do enough in your judgment to win your support in this election i will work
00:13:28.460 every day to listen to improve and to demonstrate to you that i can be trusted to improve on the
00:13:34.760 issues you care so deeply about so 49 38 it looks like for now but there was one independent we'll
00:13:41.140 get to that story in just a little bit right now ladies and gentlemen i want to bring him on it's
00:13:46.260 greg hill he is the co-founder and director at free to fly hello greg and thanks for coming on
00:13:51.040 tonight appreciate your time hey thanks so much for having me on a little bit later than i should
00:13:55.780 be here ah well i understand people are busy we've got things to do my friend so can you tell us about
00:14:01.140 your personal story greg and i know we didn't have a chance to discuss anything before we went on
00:14:05.720 tonight but your personal story in getting here you were an airline pilot and a member of the
00:14:11.080 canadian armed forces am i correct that's correct uh i started my flying in the military i was there
00:14:17.440 for 20 years in the regular force
00:14:19.540 and then another 12 years after that
00:14:22.420 got to the airlines in 2006
00:14:24.680 and had been flying there
00:14:26.280 until the world went sideways in 2020.
00:14:30.760 As far as my own personal,
00:14:32.400 what I like to call COVID epiphany,
00:14:34.360 that happened within the first month of things in 2020
00:14:39.080 and that came about to oversimplify it
00:14:41.920 just by looking at government data
00:14:43.620 and putting some numbers in a spreadsheet.
00:14:45.840 Greg, excuse me for one moment.
00:14:47.440 you're you're breaking up there's a bit of a buzz or a whine or a hiss or something in your in your
00:14:52.680 feed if you wouldn't mind could you pop out of the link and then pop back in please that might
00:14:57.420 clear it up sure thank you yeah yeah sometimes this happens you guys when we have a uh when we
00:15:03.440 have an issue with sound uh with a guest they pop out they pop back in on the link and hopefully
00:15:10.220 that clears it up unless of course he's got a hardware problem at his home studio which i'm
00:15:14.580 hoping and praying that he doesn't so greg should rejoin us shortly anyway one independent
00:15:19.660 person won a seat in the alberta election last night and again we'll get to that in just a
00:15:27.580 second she was ousted from the ucp caucus for calling out gender identity if you can believe
00:15:33.360 it all right let's try this again greg so you were talking about your own personal covet epiphany
00:15:37.620 which happened in 2020 right yeah i was uh i was chairing a private school board at the time and
00:15:43.440 saw what they were doing with with the kids and then started looking strictly at government data
00:15:48.320 and quite quickly it was apparent to me that it just didn't make up even from a mathematical
00:15:53.120 standpoint a lot of these policies and then as we moved forward through 2020 into 2021
00:15:58.960 uh very early on thought man all the eggs are in one basket with this quote-unquote vaccine
00:16:05.520 and i thought well uh a um if it didn't go well even if you were to assume that that these things
00:16:12.880 made sense uh from the outset uh if it if it went poorly down the road uh there really wasn't an
00:16:20.240 alternative plan uh and then of course once i started again strictly all you had to look at
00:16:25.360 was the manufacturer's own fda guidance which this was back in 2020 said quite clearly that it did
00:16:31.440 nothing for transmission so we figured it was probably coming for the airlines uh first so it's
00:16:35.760 we started with a small group of pilots and rapidly morphed into uh close to 3 000 aviation
00:16:42.080 professionals and then upwards close to 40,000 passengers who were disaffected in their ability
00:16:49.100 to travel. So that's a very short version of the genesis of free-to-fly. And, you know, quite a,
00:16:59.720 certainly a large chunk of that close to 3,000 aviation professionals.
00:17:04.160 Greg, I'm sorry, you know what, I want to make sure that everybody can hear you. And once again,
00:17:07.600 we're having a problem with this cradle and this static. I'm wondering if you could just maybe give
00:17:11.340 your laptop or your phone is smack on the side maybe that'll clear it up well let me try i'll
00:17:16.200 try taking these uh maybe helps and normally they normally work pretty good but how's that
00:17:21.980 that's better much better but now there's an echo with me
00:17:26.220 not that i can plug in uh here no so all right well maybe you know what i'll do
00:17:40.140 i've got a weird echo here but anyway uh here's what we can do
00:17:47.700 no okay okay uh maybe you can just talk and i'll just listen and hopefully we won't have to uh do
00:17:58.180 any sort of interplay here so that we don't wind up with this weird thing thing yeah i don't know
00:18:06.660 what uh the only thing i can do is try unplugging the laptop normally uh i don't normally have any
00:18:12.040 issues with it but um this is a different connection obviously it's weird even talking
00:18:17.100 to you because i'm hearing myself that one second after i finish talking so it's like that weird
00:18:21.240 right right live tv it's kind of strange okay maybe maybe you click out and click back in
00:18:27.540 We'll keep our fingers crossed, and hopefully we can get this going.
00:18:30.480 Okay.
00:18:33.020 Sorry, guys.
00:18:33.880 This is live television, man.
00:18:35.720 This is live and interactive, and sometimes it just doesn't work out so well.
00:18:40.880 So hopefully we can get this going because Greg and Free to Fly,
00:18:45.960 they launched a lawsuit against the Trudeau government last week,
00:18:49.320 and he's talking about 3,000 air travel professionals who may be involved
00:18:54.440 in this class action lawsuit, and I'm dying to hear about this.
00:18:57.200 we need a good audio stream here so let's try this again no no i'm i'm getting the feedback
00:19:05.280 here okay let me ask the people because maybe it's just my headphones now you guys watching
00:19:09.840 this live are you catching a a weird sort of a reverb here it's not my headset guys
00:19:18.080 yeah everybody's hearing this you want me to try the headphones back in here
00:19:27.360 yeah why not i think that's better than this
00:19:29.660 all right so you start out well we can hear you well and then it gradually uh disintegrates into
00:19:43.100 a crackle but anyway you were talking about the uh the 3 000 air travel professionals who are now
00:19:51.260 a part of your group that's quite a few is that all across north america or the world even
00:19:55.200 no that's across canada we're affiliated with other similar groups in the states like the u.s
00:20:00.820 freedom flyers and then a number of groups in australia england and the uh and across europe
00:20:06.220 as well who all fighting for the same uh the same issues really so let me ask you this right across
00:20:12.760 canada let me ask you this when you're an air you know pilot you've been doing that for many many
00:20:18.780 years you were with air canada do pilots often get together with each other just in social
00:20:24.620 circumstances or work-related circumstances at all to discuss things or is it one of those jobs
00:20:30.400 where you're here you're there you don't know where you're going to be next week and then you
00:20:33.620 get maybe two days at home and then you're back at it again. Is there a lot of time to discuss
00:20:38.300 very important issues amongst your co-workers? Well, socially in terms of the home life,
00:20:44.840 it's more the latter of what you described. But when you're flying, you're essentially locked in
00:20:50.260 a closet with somebody talking for six to eight hours a day. So there's ample time to talk as
00:20:56.720 long as you're employed and continuing to sit in that closet in the front of the metal tube,
00:21:01.520 right, which many of us weren't. Now, the majority of our aviation professionals are back to work.
00:21:08.620 There's a small group that still are not. I like to highlight that because there's a misperception
00:21:14.240 that things are back to normal, but there's some that have not gone back to work,
00:21:19.740 certainly within the healthcare sphere. There's a lot of doctors and nurses and otherwise that
00:21:24.300 are not back. Let me ask you this, and the reason I brought that up, that whole thing about getting
00:21:29.600 together with co-workers because at the beginning of all of this when when mandates were being
00:21:34.520 threatened by trudeau and his minions um there must have been considerable chatter about this
00:21:41.020 and i'm sure there were people that were unsure of what to do and then finally knuckled under
00:21:46.040 under the pressure of losing their positions after having worked so hard for so many years to gain
00:21:51.520 uh seniority and and they didn't want to lose their paycheck i'm sure they had bills to pay
00:21:56.360 and mortgages and whatnot so was it difficult talking about this amongst co-workers and peers
00:22:02.380 well it might have been for some I suppose it depends on your outlook to me it was absolutely
00:22:09.200 critical that we have these conversations and and we certainly did and you've heard a number
00:22:14.020 of these stories I'm sure with the guests that you've had had on and aviation was no different
00:22:18.380 in that respect and it was helpful in the sense that it refined your ability to to have the
00:22:25.600 conversation in a way that was most effective and what i found over over those opportunities is that
00:22:31.680 typically the best you can do is plant seeds of doubt which a lot of times come about by asking
00:22:37.400 questions saying did you have a chance to look at this or or what about that rather than taking the
00:22:42.840 proverbial hammer of uh of truth and trying to pound somebody over the head with it right
00:22:47.260 so i remember having a number of conversations along those lines and some of them went quite
00:22:51.580 well and other ones you don't tend to have conflict in the flight deck because it creates
00:22:58.560 all sorts of issues. It typically just descends into awkward silence and you move on after that
00:23:03.540 right and since being back at work it's been similar. A lot of people as you said really
00:23:10.940 didn't want to go down this road and what they're saying now when you do describe what you've been
00:23:16.140 through over the past year or two is either good for you, I wish I'd done the same, or it's silence
00:23:23.300 and then the subject gets changed, right? But we did have a number who absolutely did not go down
00:23:29.660 this road. I spent time on the phone with guys that were literally in tears at having to take
00:23:34.640 these jabs because, like you said, they thought, how am I going to pay my mortgage? What do I do
00:23:40.180 with my kids, with all sorts of issues, right?
00:23:44.480 And this was how they extorted compliance.
00:23:52.000 Do you know anybody who personally
00:23:54.680 who has been injured by this stuff?
00:23:58.040 I do.
00:23:59.460 I've spoken fairly candidly about that.
00:24:02.400 I've spent hours on the phone
00:24:04.720 with jab-injured aviation professionals.
00:24:07.680 uh that that spans the the uh the spectrum of again you if i don't want to go on about all
00:24:14.240 the various different symptoms because i'm sure you've had people on that have gone about it but
00:24:17.940 our our industry is no different than any others so you've got everything from you know peripheral
00:24:23.300 well you know actually greg it is different than any other because you are 35 000 feet in the air
00:24:29.880 which is you know i mean it does things to the body right and i know you guys are conditioned
00:24:35.240 to it after having done it for so long. But I think that could probably exacerbate a vaccine
00:24:40.040 injury, considering the fact that, you know, there are a lot of these are blood clot related.
00:24:44.920 And what do they advise you when you've got blood clots? Don't fly. It's what they say.
00:24:50.700 So we've heard a lot about pilots, co-pilots, flight attendants, you know, during a flight,
00:24:57.040 having an episode like this and having to rush to the hospital, the plane has to emergency land.
00:25:02.420 And I don't know how common that's been, but that's something that I was terrified about.
00:25:09.320 I flew to Calgary this past weekend to do an event with Joseph Borgo and Theo Fleury and Jamie Soleil.
00:25:15.940 And I thought, wow, what if the pilot has an episode or dies suddenly or something?
00:25:22.060 I don't mean to joke about it, but, you know.
00:25:24.480 Yeah, I can speak to, man, there's a lot I could dig into there.
00:25:28.260 And I'm a little paranoid about going on a long monologue here.
00:25:30.800 so you you stop me if it starts to get funky but uh you you are the guest tonight and that's what
00:25:36.200 i i love no i just meant the audio uh the audio issue so if so if it uh if it gets uh weird you
00:25:41.420 let me know uh if i will go on here too well if you've got a monologue man go ahead i want to hear
00:25:45.800 it we all want it we all want well i'll just forget to like and share this and get it out there to
00:25:49.620 people okay let me step back a little bit and uh because what i was alluding to is is the symptoms
00:25:56.200 are very similar in terms of if I just rattle them off, let's say. But very early on, back
00:26:02.800 it's been quite a few years here, so it's always hard to nail down the year. But
00:26:09.460 before the mandate rolled out, we partnered with the Canadian COVID Care Alliance, which you're
00:26:14.860 probably familiar with, full of all sorts of fantastic doctors, scientists, and otherwise.
00:26:19.280 because at the end of the day what we were concerned about was uh was safety essentially
00:26:26.120 and so we sat down on a zoom call with them and explained who we were what we were doing
00:26:31.400 and uh and they were they were very concerned they said of any profession because of exactly
00:26:36.560 what you alluded to the unique environment of being a sitting on your rear end for many many
00:26:43.500 hours at a time right which is is what you're alluding to with the blood clotting also traveling
00:26:48.420 in thin air for many hours a month and otherwise it's a very very unique profession from that
00:26:53.400 perspective so they put together a document that that highlighted the medical and scientific
00:27:00.660 concerns specific to aviation and we passed that to the two largest pilot unions in the country
00:27:06.360 and we passed it to a couple of the largest airlines in the country and we got no response
00:27:13.040 of any import or anything appreciable. And I followed up personally repeatedly on this.
00:27:19.020 So that highlights, A, what you saw throughout this whole mess, certainly from the union
00:27:24.560 standpoint that they essentially shut down as far as advocating on our behalf. But here we were,
00:27:31.540 and we weren't advocating purely selfishly to try and save our careers. We're saying,
00:27:36.180 hang on a second we in aviation for decades have been obsessive about safety we should we've got
00:27:43.760 something called safety management system that that specifically encourages asking good questions
00:27:49.200 having dialogue bringing up concerns and yet with everything from this experimental gene therapy to
00:27:55.020 masking which is also just wildly crazy when you start talking about things like time of useful
00:28:00.600 consciousness at altitude and explosive decompression for instance uh there was nothing
00:28:05.220 It was just, hey, off you go. So so that does highlight the concerns for sure. And nothing has really changed going forward. So, of course, we had the vast majority, well over 90 percent within our industry that that went down this road and took the jab.
00:28:23.480 And then, of course, I start getting phone calls because I'm a permissive person to talk to.
00:28:29.420 The issue here with pilots, certainly, is we professionally live or die.
00:28:36.960 That's kind of a wrong phrase to use, but you know what I mean.
00:28:39.320 We either continue flying or don't based on our medical certification.
00:28:44.040 So now you've got guys and gals that have taken these jabs in order to save their jobs.
00:28:48.580 Now they come out the back end and all of a sudden they've got generalized chest pains.
00:28:52.940 they got some hearing loss electrical shock symptoms frozen jaws all sorts of things that
00:28:58.080 others are seeing and they're somewhat reticent to bring it up now because it's just a vicious
00:29:04.000 circle now right uh so so i have absolutely spent time on the phone uh with these folks some of them
00:29:10.560 are finding solutions and others are still struggling some are uh off work because of it
00:29:14.660 so it's similar to what you're seeing across the industry but but as you point out uh and and
00:29:20.340 I want to talk a little bit maybe at some point here too about about having a balanced look at
00:29:25.800 what you're you're you're alluding to regarding fear with with any sort of a vaccine injury with
00:29:32.000 a pilot because I think that's important to highlight as well but that's a very long way
00:29:35.980 of saying yes I have spent hours on the phone hearing difficult stories from from my colleagues
00:29:40.880 who are dealing with with injuries post post jab and we have seen things in the news I would say
00:29:48.200 to a certain extent there's some um you know confirmation um uh bias just just from it's what
00:29:56.500 we're looking for right you know you buy a a white beetle and suddenly you see a whole bunch of white
00:30:01.380 beetles there's an aspect of that and i don't mean to minimize it obviously i gave up my career for a
00:30:05.960 year and was ready to give it up for the rest of my life because i'm concerned about these things
00:30:09.940 so i'm not minimizing it uh but i do think we have to take a balanced approach because if we if we
00:30:15.020 become fearful of flying then guess what we're going to uh we're going to hunker down in our
00:30:19.200 15-minute cities and that's kind of what what others are looking for us to do as well right so
00:30:23.520 i do bring out the balanced approach i can talk through what happens in the case of a pilot
00:30:28.500 incapacitation because i think it's important for people to understand to me it's the water that i
00:30:33.880 swim in right so i think well of course people know if a pilot even keels over dead it's actually
00:30:39.440 not in the back end that much of a catastrophic incident up front it gets super busy very
00:30:45.680 stressful and the um you just you're doing everything on your own but it's not like the
00:30:52.460 airplane plummets from the sky and i i've talked to people who think that's what happens right and
00:30:57.000 i think it's important to understand the professional insight that that some of us
00:31:02.440 can provide in terms of what does happen if a pilot does become incapacitated what does happen
00:31:08.300 I mean, the landing is the toughest part of a flight, right?
00:31:11.980 Well, yeah, I mean, it's made more difficult based on weather.
00:31:17.220 Aviation is a phenomenal job.
00:31:19.300 It's something different every day.
00:31:20.880 But what makes it challenging are two, maybe three things.
00:31:24.720 The first one is weather.
00:31:25.960 It's the first thing we check, right?
00:31:27.600 Even before you leave the house, you're like, well, is it going to be zero, zero going into St. John's, Newfoundland?
00:31:32.660 or is it going to be as sunny skies over Vancouver as I coast through the, you know, the silky, smooth air?
00:31:40.440 So that determines, you know, the vast majority of whether you're going to have a good day or not.
00:31:45.700 Then the next thing is mechanical issues.
00:31:47.520 And the third thing, I guess you could add in funny things that passengers do sometimes or otherwise, right?
00:31:52.760 It's just human behavior adds a twist to everything that we do.
00:31:57.920 So, I mean, let's just talk through it.
00:32:00.060 Let's say I'm taking off out of Vancouver and I'm flying to, I mean, the worst case is probably going across the pond, but let's keep it simple here for the sake of argument.
00:32:09.600 I'm going Vancouver to Regina.
00:32:10.660 So we get up top of top of climb, settle out, and the first officer's flying.
00:32:17.100 So it's his leg and we alternate legs back and forth just as a plug for sometimes I was a first officer for many years and people thought you just worked the radios and said nice things to the captain.
00:32:26.580 but the first officers are 100% integral and fly every other leg.
00:32:31.440 So that's a plug for all of the FOs out there.
00:32:36.100 So he keels over.
00:32:37.240 Let's say it's the worst case.
00:32:39.180 He keels over.
00:32:39.920 He's completely incapacitated.
00:32:41.160 We're not sure if he's dead or alive.
00:32:42.700 So the first thing we do is assume control of the aircraft.
00:32:45.800 Now, when you're in cruise, 90-plus percent of the flight is on autopilot.
00:32:50.860 We've got to stay ahead of the airplane, and we do hand fly.
00:32:53.500 But so you assume control, which in that scenario means transferring things electronically, essentially, unless unless he, you know, bumped the controls or otherwise, and then secure him, get the seat back and then and then call for assistance.
00:33:06.960 And so we want to, you know, move the seat back, move the rudders forward, make sure he's not going to interfere with with any of the controls.
00:33:14.500 Aviate, navigate, communicate. That's that's an adage in aviation.
00:33:17.800 So the first thing you do is aviate, make sure we're going to the right place.
00:33:21.400 So as far as navigate, once you've secured him or her, perhaps there is another pilot on board that's what we call deadheading.
00:33:28.100 It's just flying along either for maybe on vacation or positioning.
00:33:33.200 But if not, that's when it does get very challenging because now as the lone pilot, you're doing everything, but you're doing everything in a very challenging environment.
00:33:43.360 So a diversion in an aircraft is a giant pain in the rear.
00:33:47.500 it increases the risk because you hadn't planned to go to let's say Calgary all of a sudden right
00:33:53.700 so you've got to get the weather you've got to check what we call notice to airmen to see if
00:33:57.700 there's any if maybe there's a runway out of service or something else gather a whole bunch
00:34:01.680 of information from a flying perspective and maybe you're right overhead Calgary well you want to get
00:34:06.340 on the ground ASAP to get him or her medical attention so now you're trying to get down
00:34:10.860 quickly the passengers need to know what's going on the company needs to know what's going on and
00:34:14.660 if the weather's challenging you can throw that in there so you're working the radios you're
00:34:18.820 flying the airplane you're doing everything so that's that's kind of the long and short of it
00:34:22.520 but but the important piece is that the airplane doesn't stop flying and the airplane doesn't fall
00:34:26.960 out of the sky it just increases uh we talk about swiss cheese and aviation and what you want to
00:34:32.560 make sure is the holes don't line up right so if you miss one thing that you don't miss the next or
00:34:37.580 you don't miss four things in a row one of which is super critical so that's that's where we're at
00:34:43.320 with the incapacitation piece.
00:34:45.820 If you're on a very long haul flight,
00:34:47.420 let's say going to Australia or something,
00:34:49.220 you'll have three or four pilots on board
00:34:50.940 and you could bring another one of those forward.
00:34:54.500 So again, I'm not minimizing it.
00:34:56.120 It's very, very concerning.
00:34:59.540 It creates a very dynamic environment.
00:35:01.800 But we've trained for pilot incapacitation
00:35:03.900 long before COVID.
00:35:04.900 I've seen social media posts about,
00:35:07.900 it was a wife of a pilot supposedly that said,
00:35:10.660 you know, my husband has never done this before and suddenly COVID, they're training for pilot
00:35:15.820 incapacitation. Well, I was training for it back in the military. It is a dynamic environment and
00:35:20.680 it's something that we've trained for for years. We hope to not ever have to deal with it.
00:35:25.700 Ironically, actually, my captain upgrade at my company, that was one of the scenarios of the
00:35:31.720 nightmare simulator ride that we do as captain upgrade was my first officer keeled over on
00:35:37.040 takeoff, and I finished the rest of that flight completely on my own. So I have some personal
00:35:43.420 experience, albeit simulated, with this scenario. And it's not fun, and it does increase the risk
00:35:48.960 for sure. Let me ask you, Greg, has the union or the airlines acknowledged that there are actually
00:35:57.160 vaccine injuries? And if so, have they done anything about it?
00:36:07.040 No, I would say. I mean, I just hesitate. I can answer from my own personal perspective. I've been very, very vocal. There's a large pile in my outbox of communication, not because I want to be a pain in the rear, but because I think if you have an issue with something, then you have an onus and a responsibility to speak to it, and preferably in writing for all sorts of reasons that are probably obvious to everybody.
00:36:34.080 So I have brought it up repeatedly.
00:36:36.740 I've brought it up publicly.
00:36:38.180 I've brought it up with my colleagues.
00:36:40.820 And there's been no appreciable action on it.
00:36:45.560 And the situation in this country, I don't want to make this into a three-hour podcast here, but the situation in this country is especially shocking when it comes to pilot health.
00:36:57.620 And let's take COVID and the whole jab out of it.
00:37:01.180 But even from that perspective, we're not even screening pilots properly for their medicals in this country at all now.
00:37:11.520 So not only have the unions and the companies not done anything,
00:37:16.980 they are, in my view, complicit in the ongoing violations of safety that stem from Transport Canada in this country right now.
00:37:26.760 So why do you think this is?
00:37:29.000 Let's take the speculation a little bit further.
00:37:31.180 i mean if you feel they're complicit with all of this there must be a reason for it
00:37:35.500 oh it's not speculation and we've been we've been pretty obsessive actually from the start
00:37:40.840 we've tried to summon the archetype of the calm seasoned aviation captain as far as free to fly
00:37:47.340 so so anything i say i try to be very very careful with my words i try to be very careful with the
00:37:53.200 facts and that's why i just went on the monologue as far as trying to take a balanced approach to
00:37:58.400 pilot incapacitation. So what I'm talking about is it's in black and white. You can go online,
00:38:04.520 you can have a look at it. Most of it's sourced on our website. I'll try and make this the
00:38:08.700 Reader's Digest version. So if we go back to 2020 when COVID first hit, every year pilots for
00:38:14.500 decades have required medical examination. If you're over a certain age, it used to be 40,
00:38:20.960 now it's, I think it's 60 now, you had to do it every six months. But let's just pretend everybody's
00:38:25.580 going for uh for a medical once a year it's always in person uh you did an ekg common sense right
00:38:31.540 we actually went so far as to call trucking agencies in various provinces and said hey
00:38:35.820 uh are you guys doing in-person medicals right now and they were like oh yeah like why wouldn't
00:38:40.940 we like well because uh in the aviation community what we've done is in 2020 we just and i'll give
00:38:47.700 them a little bit of grace when covid first hit they said listen we're going to extend the medicals
00:38:52.800 for a few months till we get our head head around what's happening here i'm fine with that we were
00:38:56.880 all wrapping our head around what was happening then we we moved forward uh from that uh down
00:39:02.980 the road and they decided uh okay here's here's what we're going to do now uh now we're going to
00:39:08.280 allow you to do telemedicals so starting around june 20 2021 you could just attest you could
00:39:14.900 essentially call in your medical you could even there was a piece of paper that you could sign
00:39:19.740 saying that it's normally a rigorous process you're sitting down and you're being you know
00:39:25.480 scoped head to toe by a medical professional correct yeah well i mean this is where i i mean
00:39:30.440 i'll always be as honest as i possibly can it it always felt a little bit like they weren't so much
00:39:35.560 concerned about me as a person and my health as they were about me having something bad happen
00:39:40.120 while i was in an airplane which is ironic given what we're discussing right so it was more how's
00:39:44.600 heart and back then if you had said hey you know what doc uh every every week i get chest pains at
00:39:52.760 night uh and i'll tell you what the vast majority of pilots would never say that even if it happened
00:39:57.400 because they don't want to lose their medical remember that piece because it plays into where
00:40:01.480 i'm going with this so you could do an attestation and then march of 2021 transport canada came out
00:40:08.520 with with an exemption that allowed telemedicals and what that meant was you could do two annual
00:40:13.400 telemedicals in a row. So you could go as long as 36 months with never sitting in an office with a
00:40:19.800 doctor, never getting an EKG, and I'm talking people in their 50s and 60s and otherwise, and
00:40:24.740 keep in mind what I just said is that pilots are not prone typically to opening up about aches and
00:40:31.220 pains, nor are a lot of people fans of going to the doctor, right? So you could subjectively say,
00:40:37.620 I feel fine. And that's where it stood. And there was quite a hype in the US about six to nine
00:40:47.640 months ago when they changed the parameters with their EKGs. And it got a lot of attention in part
00:40:53.100 because American media gets a lot of attention. But there was quite an outcry saying, how dare
00:40:57.960 they widen the parameters on what can be considered harm? And I was putting my hand up saying, well,
00:41:02.900 hey here in canada we're just not doing them we can go 36 months without doing ekgs so we were
00:41:10.180 as vocal as we could be within our little sphere here uh got a hold of some politicians uh conservative
00:41:15.840 and otherwise and uh they weren't interested it's such low-hanging fruit because i said listen
00:41:20.920 while this is all going on as we went into the latter parts of 2022 and 23 which was when i was
00:41:28.100 particularly vocal about it. As an airline pilot, I could hop on a crowded subway. I could go
00:41:34.380 downtown Toronto to a crowded restaurant. I could go into the, I was going to call it Maple Leaf
00:41:39.640 Gardens, but whatever we call it now, with 18, 20,000 people and watch a hockey game, 100% okay.
00:41:45.960 And I welcome that. However, Transport Canada was saying, due to the need for social distancing and
00:41:52.200 concerns of safety, you cannot sit alone in a pristine airline office with your doctor and get
00:41:57.160 properly medically screened so i'm drawing to the end here but but what is just mind-bogglingly
00:42:03.980 egregious is some of these politicians pushed back with me and said listen on the website it
00:42:09.080 says this is dropping march of 23 and i said guys this is the water i swim in i can tell you they're
00:42:15.020 going to kick this down the road again no no they're not yep march of 20 march 1st 2023 transport
00:42:20.600 canada has allowed this to continue in this country till 2025 the reason was no longer social
00:42:26.440 distancing it was flexibility and when has flexibility ever ever trumped safety in aviation
00:42:34.800 never but that is how uh transport canada uh is is operating right now so so guys and gals can
00:42:42.460 continue now to uh to to take advantage of telemedicals and subjectively assess their
00:42:48.540 personal health and and i've i've i've talked to uh to some of the doctors at transport i've talked
00:42:53.820 to uh to employers uh and unions and i've said listen as a as an airline pilot i'm required to
00:42:59.260 go in the simulator multiple times a year can i call my manager and say i feel like an awesome
00:43:05.420 pilot i feel that if i lost an engine on takeoff i would handle it perfectly and so i'm just going
00:43:11.340 to stay stay home and skip my simulators i'm not allowed to do that but but we're allowing that
00:43:15.380 with pilot health right now in the midst of everything else that's going on and as a
00:43:19.800 particularly tragic, not a conclusion, but a tragic chapter in this, the Transportation Safety Board
00:43:27.440 released an accident report from, I believe it was October of 21, where an airline pilot in this
00:43:33.360 country was flying privately, suffered what appears to be a heart attack and crashed and
00:43:38.820 sadly perished. And the Transportation Safety Board, they made some very pointed remarks about
00:43:45.840 Transport Canada's need to, I forget how they worded it exactly, but they needed to conduct
00:43:51.820 a routine review and improve their guidance for what we call civil aviation medical examiners,
00:43:57.120 which are Transport Canada certified doctors that handle aviation medicine. So that's a rather
00:44:06.100 long-winded explanation of where we're at. But the fact that this isn't making more noise in
00:44:12.080 the political realm and otherwise. And then what really bothers me is, again, I've personally been
00:44:17.580 quite vocal with this with both the union and the employer, and they're happy to continue and
00:44:22.960 take advantage of this quote-unquote flexibility going forward. What about the left-wing corporate
00:44:28.780 media? Have they paid any attention to what you have to say? No, but that won't surprise you.
00:44:37.000 It's a pretty short answer.
00:44:40.060 I mean, even this legal piece that we've kicked out, and I didn't expect any different.
00:44:45.620 I mean, it's been that way for quite some time.
00:44:50.140 We haven't really heard much from them at all.
00:44:53.220 We typically put out press releases when something happens, like something significant legally,
00:44:59.020 or even with this telemedical piece.
00:45:03.740 You know, interestingly, I ask everybody who has got a very good story to tell, who comes onto this show, has the left wing corporate media paid any attention to this?
00:45:14.560 And the reason that I ask is because every time they say no, just like you did now, it just piles up and piles up and piles up.
00:45:21.500 And it proves more and more and more to more people that the media has absolutely no interest in telling this side of the story.
00:45:28.460 And we've had many ex-media members now, used to be media members before they spoke up, tell us that there is something coming down from whether it's head office or even above them not to discuss this at all, ever, on news talk radio stations and music radio stations and television news and whatever.
00:45:49.860 Uh, they would rather talk about toothpick races in the back alley, uh, kids playing toothpick races than talking about serious issues that are affecting, uh, travel industry in our country, which is absolutely amazing.
00:46:05.540 So you've launched a class action lawsuit as of last week, correct?
00:46:11.060 Yeah, it was filed, um, it's actually a week and a half ago now, but it was filed out in Vancouver on, uh, I want to say the 14th.
00:46:19.300 I should have that at the top of my tongue here, but I could pull up the actual statement of claim, but that's on our website.
00:46:26.400 So it's been filed.
00:46:27.640 It hasn't yet been served, but it's stamped and signed, and we're on our way at this point with that.
00:46:36.360 We're on the website right now.
00:46:37.980 It's freetofly.ca, you guys, and here's the class action lawsuit piece.
00:46:44.340 You've appeared with Andrew Lawton on True North, it looks like, Children's Health Defense,
00:46:47.940 the Epoch Times and Rebel News. Those are all the stories there. So exactly what is involved
00:46:54.360 in this? How many people are taking part in this lawsuit? Is it thousands? Is it dozens? Is it
00:47:00.440 hundreds? Well, it's fairly narrowly focused. So it's probably going to be in the hundreds rather
00:47:07.280 than the thousands. There's a couple other class actions that are out there, but it's a very
00:47:11.960 wide splay in terms of uh of who they can capture as part of this uh this we we've sat back and been
00:47:18.200 very careful uh the judiciary in this country is is a challenging environment uh i'll word it that
00:47:25.040 way and everybody knows what i'm talking about right so we've sat down and and watched carefully
00:47:30.300 rather than being the first ones to jump into the pool we we kind of let some others uh jump in
00:47:35.180 first not not not because we were expecting them to fail or otherwise but it's taken some time to
00:47:40.880 really grind through the strategic question of what can we do to try and represent as many
00:47:48.360 within our within our class as we can. And if you open it up too wide, what we've discovered is
00:47:54.220 things that are narrowly focused, let's say, very specifically on the charter or very specifically
00:47:59.640 on one piece. It hasn't been going terribly well. I like to be pragmatic and as honest as people as
00:48:06.480 they can and say, hey, we get it. It's an uphill battle. So what we've come up with here in the
00:48:11.860 main thrust of our strategy is something that's called inducement. To induce basically means to
00:48:18.220 persuade or influence. And so back to Transport Canada, one of my favorite subjects. Transport
00:48:24.040 Canada came out with an interim order back that the first one that really caused harm was number
00:48:29.940 43. I think they were up to 60 something because they just kept renewing it over and over. But it
00:48:34.520 It was called the Intramortal Respecting Certain Requirements for Civil Aviation Due to COVID-19.
00:48:38.820 That was just affectionately called the mandate.
00:48:41.980 And what that did was bar anybody who was not jabbed from employment within the aviation realm or barred them access to airports, airplanes and otherwise.
00:48:56.000 And so based on that, that induced a breach of a contract that we've spent many, many years working hard at to ensure our rights within the employment sphere.
00:49:06.660 And so Transport Canada, the government of Canada through Transport Canada, induced the breach of those employment contracts.
00:49:12.020 So by nature of that focus, it's the unvaccinated within the aviation realm.
00:49:19.360 This doesn't minimize anybody else that was affected.
00:49:21.880 and there's thousands and thousands across this country and we're in touch with with postal
00:49:26.440 workers and and all sorts of other uh employees that have been harmed by these uh by these issues
00:49:32.040 as well but this is is focused on the aviation uh the aviation realm and what happened because of
00:49:37.720 that that inducement there's also a piece there that mentions the charter sections 2 715 and
00:49:45.320 otherwise along with the privacy act but but the main thrust is is inducement and this is something
00:49:50.440 that there's jurisprudence out there,
00:49:52.740 but this is not something that's been brought before the courts
00:49:56.920 over the last couple of years specific to COVID.
00:50:00.000 So we'll need to get ourselves certified first.
00:50:02.180 That's the first hurdle.
00:50:02.980 Right now we're in the process of signing people up.
00:50:06.480 The website that you pulled up there,
00:50:07.880 you can read the pleading on there.
00:50:10.180 There's a sign-up page as well.
00:50:12.000 So if anybody's interested,
00:50:13.880 take the time to read through the pleading.
00:50:16.000 Feel free to email us if you've got questions.
00:50:18.460 We've gotten lots of questions.
00:50:19.840 We need to get a frequently asked question page up there to save some of those commonly replied answers to questions.
00:50:28.120 But we're eager to help and to represent as many as we can within our sphere.
00:50:34.200 Greg, you mentioned 15-minute cities earlier in our conversation.
00:50:37.500 Is that based upon any kind of knowledge that you have gleaned in the transport industry at all, or is it just what you've been reading?
00:50:44.800 well it's it's largely about what I've been reading along with you and and so many others but
00:50:51.420 we certainly see within aviation uh a couple things I mean I'll step back and this is more
00:50:57.520 just me going on a personal hypothetical rant I suppose but but I've talked to managers let's say
00:51:03.320 at my company and these are these are chaps that that were were pilots flying the line that were
00:51:09.660 good guys that we all flew with and I've had fairly heated conversations with them and I said
00:51:18.400 it's like you've checked your conscience and your common sense at the door I just don't understand
00:51:23.320 it they're smart people but I like to say they've got us by the paycheck so there's that but I also
00:51:30.800 sometimes hypothesize if you look at the climate the apocalyptic climate agenda and some of these
00:51:37.840 other issues. Right back to when I saw these jabs rolling out, I tend to think, hmm, well,
00:51:44.800 one of the first targets is probably going to be aviation, right? Because it's not popular with
00:51:48.780 those that are pushing these agendas. So there's times I thought, man, it's almost as if the upper
00:51:53.880 tiers of some of these companies who are making very good money are trying to make as much very
00:51:58.060 good money as quickly as they can before we start to see these things wind down. And we're seeing
00:52:02.400 some of this in Europe already. There was a news piece that came out about a week and a half ago,
00:52:05.920 I believe it was in France, where they've essentially barred short distance air travel,
00:52:10.180 you have to take a train, you don't have any option. And that was a there was a study,
00:52:13.860 we put it out on our Twitter feed, probably a year and a half ago now a study from some
00:52:18.020 some well named university. So it wasn't a community college doing a kind of COVID crazy
00:52:25.340 study of some sort. It was it was Oxford and otherwise, that we're looking at ways to wind
00:52:31.960 down air travel, certainly in places like Europe and force people to take high speed trains and
00:52:37.320 otherwise. So that's pretty challenging in a place like Canada and ask anybody who wasn't jabbed
00:52:42.860 what it felt like when their grandmother was sick in Vancouver and they lived in Ottawa.
00:52:46.820 And we heard from hundreds and hundreds of people, heartbreaking stories. So, you know,
00:52:53.080 maybe it'll come to Canada a little bit less given our distances, but I'm not one to plan.
00:52:59.220 I don't like, I like to be hopeful and we do try to be hopeful, but I tend to do my planning based
00:53:05.200 on a worst case scenario. And if better things happen, then, Hey, we'll be pleasantly surprised.
00:53:10.120 But right now we're, we're seeing talk of, of a single pilot aircraft, uh, unmanned aircraft.
00:53:16.800 And otherwise, these are things that have been talked about for years, but they seem to be
00:53:19.940 popping up, uh, in, in news feeds more than they were, they were three or four years ago. Right.
00:53:25.200 Flight loads.
00:53:26.140 I mentioned earlier that I'd just taken a flight two days ago to Calgary and then back.
00:53:31.260 And both flights, Greg, they were near empty.
00:53:35.000 And I couldn't believe how much room I had.
00:53:37.780 There was my row and there was a row behind me and behind in front where there was nobody.
00:53:42.500 And I talked to the flight attendant.
00:53:43.860 I said, so what are you guys going to do for the next two hours?
00:53:46.620 Play Canasta?
00:53:48.260 Are you seeing a lot of that?
00:53:50.520 I can tell you the flight attendants were probably pretty happy because that's a good day for them.
00:53:54.460 They're not the ones trying to pay for the fuel and everything else.
00:53:58.140 But I would say that's somewhat of an anomaly.
00:54:02.220 I would say the other end of the spectrum is more the norm.
00:54:05.220 I've been off for a few weeks.
00:54:06.920 So unless something catastrophic happened over the last couple of weeks that I missed,
00:54:11.300 the planes have been pretty full for the most part.
00:54:13.600 And I'm in contact with all sorts of folks in the aviation world because of my role on a multiple times per day.
00:54:21.660 And nobody's talking about empty airplanes typically.
00:54:23.680 so it it does happen uh but for the most part the loads have been pretty uh pretty full and and we
00:54:29.320 are seeing we've we've got a pretty serious pilot shortage uh not here not just here in canada but
00:54:34.720 worldwide and that's gonna come to a to an ugly head i mean we're the the the uh graduation rate
00:54:42.240 of is that intentional do you think they're not training as many pilots on purpose
00:54:46.680 no it's it's a it's a number of uh a number of things i i listen the short term there's bills
00:54:54.280 to pay and people want to make money and the shareholders want their value so i i try not to
00:54:59.400 to to uh to see the boogeyman in in everything i certainly there's places where it's unavoidable
00:55:04.860 and i've ranted about a few of them already here this this evening but it's a it's a combination
00:55:10.740 of a bunch of things COVID really took a major hit but but pre-COVID going back to uh you know
00:55:18.000 2008 the economic crisis and otherwise when we saw things really really crash from a travel
00:55:23.000 perspective and then you had COVID hit and you had layoffs you had early retirements they were
00:55:27.440 paying people to leave early I know a number I just spoke to to a colleague a couple weeks ago
00:55:32.140 who left five years before he should got a really solid handshake on the way out the door so they
00:55:37.500 they were paying people to leave early people weren't being trained because there there wasn't
00:55:42.940 a lot of training happening so we went from i think we were graduating roughly 1200 commercial
00:55:48.080 pilots in canada i should have this this number two at my fingertips but it plummeted to somewhere
00:55:52.820 around three or four hundred in 2021 but the bizarre thing was as we started to come through
00:55:58.500 this quote-unquote covid recovery those numbers really didn't pick up and i i think the number
00:56:02.900 last year was something like 250 and that's completely unsustainable so what you're seeing
00:56:08.220 is the regionals who feed the majors so encore feeds west jet jazz feeds air canada they're
00:56:15.100 being decimated because the majors are picking up all of their pilots and there's not a lot coming
00:56:19.840 in the bottom i don't know what the bush operators are doing i hear stories of the owners out flying
00:56:24.520 their airplanes because they just can't can't find people so you can't simply you can't replace
00:56:30.220 experience by simply putting a bum in a seat. When I got hired, I was late 30s. Most everybody
00:56:35.880 was. You were at the pinnacle of a previous career. You had thousands and thousands of hours.
00:56:40.700 And the folks showing up now, some of them are in their early 20s. They've only got a couple
00:56:46.220 thousand hours. And I don't mean that disparagingly. They're sharp and they're on the
00:56:51.660 ball. People were sort of fear-mongering a little bit saying, oh, all these new guys,
00:56:56.520 You're really going to have to keep an eye on them.
00:56:58.640 Honestly, they're sharp, but what you can't replace is cycles of seasons and things like
00:57:04.600 that.
00:57:04.940 And one of the biggest things in aviation, when something goes sideways, whether it's
00:57:09.520 an engine failure or something more benign, one of the things that you'll notice with
00:57:13.640 a seasoned pilot is the first thing he does is nothing, right?
00:57:18.060 You don't start pulling levers and pushing buttons and you take a deep breath.
00:57:22.640 I used to have old instructors in the military said, take a deep breath.
00:57:25.840 wind your watch think about it and then act and that's what experience gives you and so it's
00:57:32.100 certainly concerning and and they'll they'll come about that experience rather quickly because there
00:57:36.520 should be plenty of hours to go around but but that experience and you're seeing it in the states
00:57:41.280 as well they're very very short the uh the short-term upside of that was some some significant
00:57:47.020 contract signings over the past uh past month or two uh just trying to keep guys from bouncing
00:57:52.580 between airlines looking for a better uh better contract and otherwise so what is the most
00:57:57.420 frightening thing this is a little bit off topic what's the most frightening thing that's happened
00:58:00.880 to you on a passenger aircraft a large one um either there's not any or way too many to pick
00:58:14.180 from no it's it's it's the former i'm trying to come up with a great story i mean my military
00:58:19.280 experience, I'd have an awful lot more. I mean, it's a good thing that I'm not coming up with
00:58:25.060 anything. I mean, the weather challenges certainly make it significant. I had a messy, very, very
00:58:32.980 long day going into Denver one time. The thunderstorm closed the airport. A diversion
00:58:36.980 airport was not ideal. It was in a mountainous terrain. Then we had a bleed air failure, which is
00:58:42.420 a quasi-emergency in the midst of trying to divert that whole scenario I gave you. You know,
00:58:46.980 add in an aircraft malfunction in the middle of it. So, but it was, it was handled well by two
00:58:53.500 competent professional pilots. So it, it wasn't particularly scary. I've had frustrating moments
00:58:58.920 with people doing silly things in the back of the airplane. Unfortunately, it's, it's the poor
00:59:04.280 flight attendants to take the brunt of that. We sit behind a bulletproof door and, and give
00:59:09.400 instructions and decide whether to divert the aircraft. So there, you know, there's awkward
00:59:13.280 moments as you would have in any job but but as far as exciting stories to tell um yeah not a lot
00:59:20.760 in aviation which is the way we try and keep it right so exactly in the airline world i mean yeah
00:59:25.260 yeah stress-free man what about airports you spend a lot of time in airports obviously uh
00:59:30.280 going from one city to the next have you noticed a lot of changes in the past couple of years extra
00:59:35.180 cameras maybe more automation anything like that and again i'm not trying to see a boogeyman behind
00:59:40.020 every hedge here. But I mean, I noticed a pretty big change because I hadn't flown since before
00:59:44.660 COVID for this past week. And all of a sudden you're checking in automated and cameras were
00:59:50.600 everywhere. And it seemed very antiseptic to me. Well, that part, the camera and the facial
00:59:57.100 recognition and all that stuff, to use a word I particularly hate, triggers me, right? So I do
01:00:04.020 look sometimes i you know fairly busy going through the airport typically but the odd time i do just
01:00:10.020 sort of sit down and look up and when you look up it's like camera camera camera camera and that's
01:00:15.600 not just in airports that's that's everywhere it's in the train station the subways etc i i'd gone
01:00:21.440 down to uh to the states privately uh a few weeks back or a week or a month back uh maybe and when i
01:00:31.080 checked in through before I even got to the actual check-in just going through security uh they I went
01:00:37.140 up to the counter and they said I'll stand in front of here and we're going to take your picture
01:00:39.620 and I said no you're not like I literally will not go where I'm planning to go if that's the
01:00:44.040 only means to get through here and and then it was it was a sigh and an eye roll and well you can go
01:00:49.120 down to the other one and I've seen that even when I'm operating I was in Seattle a couple months
01:00:53.900 ago and I was watching a flight board because we had a maintenance issue and I had time to kill in
01:00:58.500 coffee so i was people watching and a flight was boarding and to expedite right that's that's the
01:01:04.860 the the phrase always it's to make it more convenient and efficient right these are this
01:01:09.180 is how we they convince everybody to go down this road we'll be using facial recognition to check
01:01:13.540 you in for your flight if in the unlikely event you do not want to participate please come forward
01:01:19.900 and fill out a form which is just made to make it inconvenient to single you out and otherwise and
01:01:26.680 so we are seeing that start to to roll out for sure um there was all sorts of challenges obviously
01:01:33.020 i i ended up back to work around september october of last year so that was towards the end of the
01:01:40.560 whole mask mandate uh nonsense so there were some fascinating things just in terms of human
01:01:46.760 behavior that happened then that i actually take hope in in terms of people acting courageously
01:01:51.660 and individually to push back on some of this nonsense.
01:01:54.580 And I think I always try to focus on the hope piece.
01:01:58.460 I don't focus a lot on things like the political realm or the judiciary,
01:02:03.480 in spite of the fact that I'm a named plaintiff on this action that we've got going.
01:02:09.320 And we certainly need to pursue those avenues.
01:02:12.380 But the only way we really get change in this country is by enough people
01:02:16.000 courageously standing up, speaking truth, calling out lies,
01:02:20.220 and being willing to suffer loss in the process there's no other way around it you have to be
01:02:25.280 willing to perhaps lose your job perhaps lose your home those are kind of the big ticket ones
01:02:30.240 that i'm naming but there's there's all sorts of uh of lower ones and we saw a lot of the the
01:02:35.220 compliance was really done out of an unwillingness to look funny people didn't want to say much
01:02:40.920 because because they didn't want to be called out or called crazy or otherwise so i think we've got
01:02:47.220 to practice courage as a habit do things that are difficult speak up when it's uncomfortable that's
01:02:53.260 where we really see change where do you see this going if not enough people stand up are we going
01:02:58.940 to go right down to the 15 minute cities and like everything that we've been fearing for the last
01:03:04.040 couple of years that's all going to come true well i would hope not but to be honest when i when i
01:03:10.880 look at what's happened over the last couple years i i do think it's probably going to get worse
01:03:15.780 before it gets better, because even amongst, I would say, our like-minded community, there's a
01:03:21.680 real fatigue that I've seen over the past probably three to six months. I don't know if you're seeing
01:03:25.980 it in your own metrics or otherwise, but people are unplugging a little bit. And hey, I'm all for
01:03:31.780 unplugging, take a break, save your mental health for a week or something, but you can't shove your
01:03:36.360 head in the sand. And I fear that's what even those who might see the world the same as us
01:03:41.540 are starting to do is to is to just hope that things get better if if we if we don't pay
01:03:48.360 attention to it for a while right it's you know even with your car making a funny noise sometimes
01:03:53.280 you hope you know just hit the brakes a little harder or accelerate and maybe it'll go away and
01:03:57.920 that noise won't continue well unfortunately great comparison yeah i mean unfortunately
01:04:03.660 the budding tyrants in this country are not going to go away if we ignore them they're going to
01:04:10.120 ramp up and ramp up. And it's a shock and awe campaign almost. It's intended to do what it's
01:04:16.280 doing. So don't let them do it. They're passing egregious legislation one after the other.
01:04:23.740 They're full on trolling the nation. I see people get so wound up about Trudeau and I get it. I can
01:04:29.640 barely stand to hear him talk. But I think, I almost wonder if he's just doing it to drive us
01:04:35.380 nuts and there's no point uh you know using battle analogy when you're the platoon leader sitting in
01:04:41.640 the trench and you're taking masses amounts of incoming fire there's no point in screaming that
01:04:46.340 you're being shot at it doesn't help anybody it just gets everybody wound up so determine where
01:04:51.000 the fire's coming from determine how you're going to fight back is it a grenade launcher is it and
01:04:55.000 i'm not i'm not calling for armed uh action here just to be clear lest anybody take a take a sound
01:05:00.600 bite out of this i'm using an analogy but but there's no point in hollering about what's going
01:05:05.360 on we need to steal ourselves we need to to decide what the biggest threats are and then we need to
01:05:11.300 push back and uh and take courageous action so i i do have a feeling it's probably going to get
01:05:17.580 worse then we'll get people engaged that we're maybe sitting on the sidelines i don't know how
01:05:21.960 you can look at your kids and grandkids and look at the current trajectory don't don't look at
01:05:25.680 what's happening one week down the road. Look at where your five-year-old or even your 20-year-old
01:05:32.640 are going to be five to 10 years from now. Like, I really think we've got to equip this next
01:05:36.540 generation to help them understand the lessons of history. We had an event, actually, Free to Fly,
01:05:44.740 had a meet and greet last week, and it was absolutely fantastic, very encouraging for
01:05:49.200 people. But I'd mentioned in just the brief remarks that I gave that I'd read Tim Snyder's
01:05:54.320 book. Actually, I didn't read his full book. I read the infographic, which is actually quite
01:05:58.480 phenomenal. It's called On Tyranny, 20 Lessons from the 20th Century. And there's two lessons
01:06:04.100 from there that stood out to me. One was be calm when the unthinkable arrives, which is what I'm
01:06:09.420 talking about right now. So maybe we're not in the unthinkable, but we're certainly in the long-term
01:06:13.980 untenable. Be calm. Be calm when that stuff arrives. And the second piece that it almost
01:06:21.380 gets me emotional talking about it but the 20th lesson is be as courageous as you can
01:06:28.020 and sometimes you're not going to be as courageous as you might have wanted to be or there's going to
01:06:33.380 be something pop up that that stems the action that you wanted to take and you didn't take it
01:06:39.320 all the way to the wall but in the individual moments that arrive those small moments of
01:06:46.040 compromise that you're asked to make those matter how you respond to those individual instances
01:06:50.860 matter be as courageous as you can and there may be a big moment that comes up down the road and
01:06:57.380 that's why i talk about courage as a habit so whether there's a small issue at work where
01:07:03.420 somebody is asking you to i don't know put your pronouns or who knows what it is right
01:07:08.820 stand up against those things be as courageous as you can in the moment because i've discovered
01:07:13.400 myself, it's been difficult. Make no mistakes. I'm not born as a person who particularly likes
01:07:24.560 the limelight. But when you take these actions, you do get strengthened over time and you start
01:07:30.420 to draw other people in. And being the first person to do something is incredibly difficult.
01:07:34.760 But I'm telling you, or telling all the people watching, people will follow you. We need people
01:07:40.820 to be the first ones out of the trench because people actually want to follow so uh i don't
01:07:46.540 remember what your question was i went on for a while there but uh it's all right man you've been
01:07:51.060 answering it the whole time you are eloquent you are brave you are uh a great leader uh and calm
01:07:59.700 you know like this is what we need a lot of people that i've spoken to across the country they're so
01:08:05.780 wound up they're so angry and they just want to hit something or they they want to go and attack
01:08:11.180 something and you know i keep saying you guys got to calm down you know it's be calm in the face of
01:08:16.880 all this because that's what they want as you pointed out you know like you think that trudeau
01:08:21.300 the way he speaks in the way he carries himself he almost does it on purpose just to wrangle the
01:08:26.200 country that's how it seems to me but and they they want us angry and you know the the freedom
01:08:31.720 Convoy did a fantastic job of holding in that anger and not lashing out physically. And I think
01:08:37.520 we have to continue doing that. So Greg, thank you very much for coming on tonight. Really

01:09:11.880 to fly.ca go check it out all right let's get uh back to some of the news that we're covering
01:09:18.600 tonight uh not this story we're talking about how how narrow the victory was for the ucp in
01:09:24.560 alberta last night yes it's a majority government but a lot of those ridings were won by oh 200
01:09:30.560 votes maybe 250 votes and there's one riding in calgary that was won by the ndp by seven votes
01:09:39.080 seven 62 voter turnout which is about seven or eight percentage points below the 2019 election
01:09:47.640 This former UCP candidate, turfed for gender ideology, won her riding yesterday. 0.99
01:09:55.720 She's going to sit as an independent. 0.73
01:09:58.320 Apparently, she disparaged gender ideology and was kicked out of caucus by Danielle Smith.
01:10:03.480 She was denounced by Danielle Smith for comparing gender ideology in schools to the presence of feces in baked goods.
01:10:14.440 Great. 0.91
01:10:15.120 i i don't know why she would have been kicked out of the out of the party for that she's just 1.00
01:10:22.600 speaking the truth and making a joke candidate jennifer johnson won 67 percent of the vote 0.96
01:10:28.220 beating out alberta ndp candidate dave dale who only received 23.3 percent of the vote on the
01:10:34.420 campaign trail smith reinforced her decision to exclude johnson from a ucp caucus's final
01:10:39.440 should she be elected so again the seat count in alberta at least as it looks right now and
01:10:45.460 there's going to be some recounts because of the close elections in seven or eight ridings some in
01:10:50.100 calgary last night looks like it's going to be 48 38 and one independent 48 for the ucp 38 for the
01:10:57.480 ndp and one independent this story comes from the canadian press aaron o'toole former leader
01:11:04.140 of the Conservative Party of Canada
01:11:06.480 says CSIS told him he was the focus
01:11:09.500 of Chinese misinformation
01:11:10.960 and a suppression effort.
01:11:13.320 All right, guys.
01:11:14.640 I want you to stay with me on this one
01:11:16.860 because I am going to explain to you
01:11:20.700 why Jagmeet Singh
01:11:22.960 will not bring down the Trudeau government.
01:11:26.780 Okay?
01:11:27.840 I'm going to get to that
01:11:29.220 in just a couple of minutes.
01:11:34.140 that's cool who was responsible to discredit him party leader rising in the house of commons on a
01:11:49.260 question of privilege today o'toole said the canadian security intelligence service brief
01:11:54.240 briefing revealed a range of actions against him they include chinese communist party funding to
01:11:59.380 create misinformation the use of groups and we chat by the way that's the app the chinese use
01:12:05.300 for their social credit system that's the app they use to let you or not let you buy a bag of chips
01:12:11.380 a train ticket or pay your rent if you've been a bad boy or girl we chat not available anywhere
01:12:19.020 else in the world at least not as of yet it's a social media platform used in china only right
01:12:24.940 now. But they were using that to amplify the mistruths, O'Toole said. I prefer to call them
01:12:32.120 lies. Let's call them lies. And a campaign of voter suppression against him during the 2021
01:12:37.160 general election. So WeChat was being used in China to Chinese nationals over here in Canada
01:12:44.040 so they could relay it on Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media platforms.
01:12:48.420 The former conservative leader said the threats against him and members of his caucus were not
01:12:52.580 flagged to him by the government or security agencies at the time this is a relatively new
01:12:58.800 accusation and discovery you guys i mean we found out about this just last week this is the former
01:13:05.260 leader of the conservative party of canada who ran in the last election against justin trudeau
01:13:11.340 now if that's not election interference i don't know what is
01:13:19.440 and if it is election interference which it is the entire last election should be completely
01:13:27.540 wiped away and a new one should be called immediately i'll get to jagmeet singh in just a
01:13:34.880 second on monday new democrat mp jenny kwan said cesus informed her last week she's been targeted
01:13:44.240 by China since before the 2019 federal election over her advocacy of human rights in Hong Kong
01:13:50.220 and for the Uyghur's Muslim minority in China. She said she was not at liberty to discuss the
01:13:55.900 specifics of the targeting. So let's get to Jagmeet Singh now.
01:14:03.620 We're not going to yell, Polly, I've got it. All right. So here we go. Government House
01:14:10.440 Leader Mark Holland, liberal, said today the federal liberals still have faith in the man
01:14:16.100 they appointed to investigate the issue of foreign interference in Canadian elections,
01:14:19.800 David Johnston, the former governor general and fishing buddy of Justin Trudeau and his
01:14:25.160 dad, Pierre, before him.
01:14:27.080 But Holland would not confirm whether the government could fire Johnson if an NDP motion
01:14:31.900 calling for his ouster passes in the House of Commons this week.
01:14:35.080 It's going to be non-binding, just like all the other motions are, until they call a confidence
01:14:39.540 vote.
01:14:40.440 The House debated a motion from NDP leader Jagmeet Singh today that calls for the government to remove Johnston as special rapporteur and to call a public inquiry.
01:14:49.380 Singh says, now listen to this one, he doesn't want to attack Johnson personally, but is concerned there is a clear apprehension of bias undermining the work he can do because of his ties to Trudeau.
01:15:02.380 Opposition party motions are not binding.
01:15:04.680 The government's already ignored an earlier NDP motion calling for a public inquiry that passed in March.
01:15:09.360 that motion came just a week after the liberals appointed johnston to look into the allegations
01:15:15.340 the chinese government attempted to interfere in the last two federal elections
01:15:19.240 so never mind what pierre poly have said here singh said he will continue to push for a public
01:15:27.560 inquiry but won't end his confidence and supply agreement with the liberal minority government
01:15:35.000 and trigger an election and here's the reason i don't see how it's logical if the goal is to
01:15:41.960 protect our democracy to then trigger an election when we're worried about foreign interference
01:15:46.160 so how much would it take now that we know that it's out there now that the public knows that 0.99
01:15:53.680 it's out there the chinese have been dicking with our last two elections at least to now keep an eye 0.98
01:15:58.600 open for it so it doesn't happen again how long would it take to put in measures that would stop 0.91
01:16:05.740 that kind of thing from happening a month if you're serious two months maybe at the most
01:16:12.020 probably jagmeet does not want to trigger an election and here's why
01:16:18.780 the pension plan for mps pay and benefits of departing members of parliament and during
01:16:27.240 dissolution of Parliament. Members must have accumulated at least six years of pensionable
01:16:33.260 service upon their departure in order to be entitled to a pension upon retirement.
01:16:38.080 Members with less than six years of pensionable service are entitled to a withdrawal allowance
01:16:42.180 equal to return of their contributions to the Members of Parliament pension plan plus interest.
01:16:48.460 So you have to be 55 to start receiving this pension. At age 65, you get a little bit more.
01:16:55.260 Jagmeet is in his 40s right now.
01:16:56.860 But how long do you guys think that Jagmeet Singh has been an MP in the House of Commons?
01:17:03.000 Go ahead, write it down in the comments.
01:17:05.140 I want to hear what you have to say about this.
01:17:07.920 And remember that he was the leader of the federal NDP before he was an elected sitting member of Parliament.
01:17:19.680 Jen says, too effing long.
01:17:21.180 allison says six years sharon says five years will says 10 years joanne says four or five years
01:17:31.900 four and a half it has been since february of 2019 it's been just over four years that jagmeet
01:17:39.640 singh has been an mp and because it's only been four and a half years he is not eligible for his
01:17:47.000 mp pension once he reaches the age of 55 he has to be an mp for another two years maybe a year and
01:17:55.940 a half until he gets to six years so he's not going to trigger an election not unless he is
01:18:02.440 absolutely confident 100 that he's going to win his seat again in the next election so maybe he's
01:18:08.600 not he wants his pension so i know i've been saying there's going to be an election this year
01:18:18.160 but after having read this i you know unless jagmeet singh is ousted as the leader of the
01:18:25.760 federal ndp he will not bring down the liberal government through that ridiculous coalition
01:18:32.800 agreement he has with them he wants his money he's entitled to his entitlements my friends
01:18:39.680 this is alarming you know that treaty that we've been talking about with the world health
01:18:45.860 organization and all the member countries all 191 member countries across the world
01:18:50.100 well this is even worse this comes from the defender children's health defense.org
01:18:56.480 don't forget to like and share and if you want to make a donation to the shadow at night live stream
01:19:02.320 please go ahead and email shadow davis at gmail.com s-h-a-d-o-e-d-a-v-i-s at gmail.com
01:19:09.720 password is shadow s-h-a-d-o-e who initiative would promote desired behaviors by surveilling
01:19:18.060 social media promote desired behaviors
01:19:21.460 surveilling social media yeah this just came out today a new world health organization initiative
01:19:31.620 asks member states to combat what the agency calls an infodemic, which is an overabundance
01:19:37.660 of information, accurate or not.
01:19:39.640 Now, it doesn't matter if it's missed or disinformation.
01:19:41.720 It's too much.
01:19:43.060 Whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter.
01:19:45.740 You, my friend, have been subject to too much information.
01:19:48.840 Your brain hurts all bad.
01:19:50.620 All that information swimming around.
01:19:52.320 You can't possibly make a decent decision on behalf of yourself or your family.
01:19:56.200 We are going to help you and keep you and your family safe by surveilling how much information you take in on social media.
01:20:08.500 They say it makes it difficult for people to adopt behaviors that will protect their health and the health of their families and communities.
01:20:15.680 the world health organization is proposing a set of recommendations for
01:20:22.980 social listening surveillance systems designed to address what it describes as a health threat
01:20:28.880 posed by online information if you can actually believe it no it's for your safety it's for your
01:20:40.200 health you gotta get off the internet no more research for you my friend 1.00
01:20:45.360 no no no go watch some idiot box rest your mind don't exercise here smoke this weed and drink 1.00
01:20:55.980 this booze everything's going to be fine the who's preparedness and resilience for emerging 1.00
01:21:00.240 threats initiative claims misinformation has resulted in an infodemic that poses a threat
01:21:06.380 even in instances where the information is accurate all right so that is going on right now
01:21:13.340 i think it's worse than the treaty they're planning to sign next year because this
01:21:19.440 this is just one big censorship operation all right so the rainbow rainbow month is coming up
01:21:27.020 my friends. June is Pride Month. Now, the pride flag won't fly at your Catholic school after the 0.90
01:21:37.720 board voted against the motion, which was obviously great for many, many people. Many
01:21:45.140 parents were fighting against that. And besides, why should a section of society, a very small
01:21:51.260 section of society have a flag in the first place and why should we all be forced to fly it
01:21:56.780 kathleen when the former premier former liberal premier of ontario said this is cowardly shameful
01:22:03.200 it emboldens and validates homophobia and transphobia all right so i saw that on twitter
01:22:09.080 today and i responded with not cowardly sensible unless you believe in the sexual indoctrination
01:22:14.460 of children. Do you, Kathleen? Of course you do. And then Bouvier mom said, actually, she does.
01:22:23.100 She hired a convicted pedophile to head up the sex ed curriculum when she was premier of Ontario.
01:22:27.440 And here's the proof in an article from left-wing corporate CTV News in London, Ontario. Former
01:22:34.660 Ontario deputy education minister pleads guilty to child porn charges. A man who was once Ontario's
01:22:41.440 deputy minister of education, pled guilty to three child pornography-related charges
01:22:46.000 in a Toronto court. Eight years ago, this was. Benjamin Levin, who was also a university
01:22:51.760 professor, entered a guilty plea for making written child pornography, counseling a person
01:22:56.960 to commit a sexual assault, and possession of child porn. He was originally charged with seven
01:23:03.200 child pornography-related offenses. Hired by Kathleen Wynne, this agenda, my friends,
01:23:09.160 has been going on a lot longer than we think we just didn't notice it before target boycotts and
01:23:16.220 threats are literally terrorism says an economics professor on msnbc which is absolutely hilarious
01:23:23.160 and here's the guy right here this is beta make men men again would somebody please a university
01:23:32.560 of michigan professor referred to boycotts and threats against big box retailer target as a form
01:23:37.380 of literal terrorism in a recent interview on msnbc newsweek reported this is from theblaze.com
01:23:44.160 that's glenn beck's thing target recently dropped a whopping 9 billion in market value due to the
01:23:50.420 retailers roll out of its highly questionable lgbtq pride collection it took just a week for
01:23:56.520 the brand's value to drop 12 after it was revealed that the store sold lgbtq themed
01:24:03.000 onesies for babies children's books advocating for drag shows and tuck friendly bathing suits
01:24:08.500 i still don't know what that is what does tuck friendly mean it's like you 0.92
01:24:11.980 men can tuck themselves into a little pocket in a bathing suit thus making their junk
01:24:19.360 invisible i i i'm sorry but i don't know a target spokesperson said threats had been made impacting
01:24:29.200 team members' sense of safety and well-being
01:24:31.100 while at work, and the company subsequently
01:24:33.240 decided to remove items
01:24:35.300 that have been at the center of the most significant
01:24:37.320 confrontational behavior.
01:24:39.000 What did they think was going to
01:24:41.320 happen? People are sick
01:24:43.140 of this nonsense, and of course they're going to
01:24:45.240 speak up about it, probably aggressively,
01:24:47.840 but I don't seem to see,
01:24:49.480 I haven't seen any police
01:24:51.360 reports of any violence or threats.
01:24:54.040 It doesn't matter what
01:24:55.080 Target says.
01:24:57.180 Show us the proof.
01:24:59.200 oh and by the way these people also think words are violent as well they actually equate words
01:25:08.380 with physical violence to them it's one in the same obviously any incident that would put employees
01:25:14.540 at risk is something that any company would wisely take seriously target spokesperson kelly
01:25:18.680 o'keefe commented this is a reflection of an unfortunate moment in our history when one has
01:25:23.860 to assume serious risk might be real and then of course the professor uh not this one not this one
01:25:30.760 not this one uh whatever doesn't matter doesn't matter here's a great video this is funny watch
01:25:36.340 this guy talk it is absolutely well i watch both these guys talk it's hilarious
01:25:53.860 oh wait a minute you can't hear this okay i'll just turn it up and go back to the beginning
01:26:08.640 or i'll play it again oh my gosh yeah why don't we like put a pause on this so that way you can
01:26:13.580 decide and like in a couple years see how you feel like i just wish they would shut up oh yeah 0.60
01:26:20.380 Let's put a pause on it and give that little boy puberty blockers 0.55
01:26:25.040 because he was playing with his sister's dolls when he was three.
01:26:28.580 So now everybody thinks he's a girl.
01:26:30.640 Stop the nonsense. 1.00
01:26:32.080 These people are seriously, seriously ill. 0.93
01:26:36.720 So according to the alphabet people, they're not trying to harm kids.
01:26:41.380 But this guy, oh, he's got all the answers. 0.99
01:26:45.360 But that's literally what you're doing to trans kids 0.77
01:26:47.700 because forcing somebody to go through a puberty with a dominant hormone that is misaligned with
01:26:52.840 your actual gender is a forced mutilation by conservative standards so you would think that
01:26:58.960 they would be the number one advocates for blockers and go oh my gosh yeah why don't we like
01:27:02.560 put a pause on this so that way you can decide and like in a couple years see how you feel

01:30:51.960 I mean, these Antifas have been showing up at all these social justice events for years now, going back to, well, I guess before George Floyd.
01:31:03.480 But since George Floyd, they have been visible at every kind of social justice event.
01:31:11.800 Why is it only the left wing that can declare something as social justice or social concern?
01:31:18.660 And then Antifa shows up to defend it.
01:31:20.560 like masked superheroes but now they've added some color to their black outfits at least all

01:31:51.660 There it is.
01:31:52.480 And one more story that I have for you guys tonight before I let you go.
01:31:57.840 And by the way, the show was brought to you by Canada NanoSilver and by Tacit Investigations and Security.
01:32:03.220 Thank you to both of you guys.
01:32:06.140 Kevin, Anna, Jeff Stone, thank you for sticking by the show.
01:32:10.380 Really appreciate it.
01:32:11.320 From the People's Voice dot TV, German health minister admits COVID vaccines are dangerous.
01:32:18.980 Big Pharma has made exorbitant profits.
01:32:23.360 OK, so let's do and there he is right there. Creepy looking guy.
01:32:26.620 A German health minister, Karl Lauterbach, who claimed COVID vaccines are without side effects and big pharma would not profit from the vaccine rollout, has been forced to change his tune due to the disastrous results of the hardline COVID policies in Germany.
01:32:43.140 Once hailed as a hero, the man often called Germany's Fauci is now engulfed in the biggest vaccine injury scandal to have emerged since the pandemic.
01:32:51.900 Louderback has served in this role since December of 2021 under the Traffic Light Coalition led by Olaf Schultz, a professor of health economics and epidemiology, longtime member of the SPD.
01:33:03.200 Louderback rose to national prominence, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:33:08.400 Oh, there's that Ricky Schroeder video.
01:33:11.220 Did you guys see that?
01:33:12.080 He was talking about satanic rituals in Hollywood. 0.73
01:33:14.780 Anyway, you can find that on Bitchute, I believe.
01:33:17.660 in his role as an advisor to angela merkel and prominent tv and twitter commentator and then as
01:33:23.960 the country's health minister louderback adopted an aggressively pro-lockdown pro-vax stance
01:33:28.800 claiming his aim was to vaccinate every single german through the imposition of mandates if
01:33:32.860 necessary in order to achieve so-called herd immunity of course that was before we had any
01:33:39.000 real data as to what these gene therapies were going to do to us i'm just going to flip down
01:33:44.780 at the bottom here you guys because it ranked the article here um so here we go those words
01:33:54.760 are now coming back to haunt louder back over the past two years more than 300 000 cases
01:34:01.040 of vaccine side effects have accumulated in the ministry's own system
01:34:05.400 and more and more people are lodging compensation claims against the state germany in case you're
01:34:12.200 just arriving, and you don't know what country we're discussing here, which, based on the
01:34:15.940 contract signed by the EU with vaccine manufacturers, is liable for any vaccine-related damage.
01:34:22.500 Meanwhile, the subject of vaccine injuries has begun to be openly discussed in the German
01:34:27.740 mainstream media. All this is forced Lauterbach to make a spectacular U-turn.
01:34:33.280 In a recent TV interview, he admitted that vaccine-induced injuries are a serious issue,
01:34:38.300 and that his ministry was planning to launch a program to investigate the negative consequences
01:34:43.140 of COVID vaccination and improve care as soon as possible. Additionally, he said,
01:34:48.520 he hopes pharmaceutical companies will voluntarily help to compensate those harmed by the vaccines.
01:34:56.780 Voluntarily. That's hilarious. That's because the profits have been exorbitant, he said.
01:35:02.380 But wait a minute. He said two years ago, oh, no, no, no, no. They're not going to make any
01:35:05.860 money off of this just a year ago he said the pharmaceutical companies will not get rich with
01:35:11.020 vaccines well guess what for years and years and years pfizer struggled to make 40 billion dollars
01:35:17.480 in one fiscal year which is no small feat how much did they make in fiscal 2022 take a guess
01:35:27.100 does anybody know i know and it's much higher than 40 billion dollars
01:35:35.860 Anybody?
01:35:43.440 Just pop quick.
01:35:44.820 Yep, Michael, $90 billion.
01:35:47.160 $90 billion more than double.
01:35:52.580 $10 billion more than double of what their record profits were in any other year before last year.
