Western Standard - Cory Morgan Show. Only Gazans can bring the bloodshed to an end now.

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 Good day. Welcome to the Corey Morgan Show. This day isn't all that good. I mean, you know, everybody's seen it. The news is dominated by it. The Middle East has exploded into war again. The images are horrific. Israel and Gaza everywhere. It just never seems to come to an end. So yeah, of course, we're going to talk predominantly about that today. It's going to be a big story and it does impact us all, even if it is on the other side of the world, particularly when we see some of the reactions coming from people.

00:01:00.520 Over here in Canada and overseas. A lot of very embarrassing reactions. And there's been some good ones. You know, I'll talk a little later, but Justin Trudeau actually, I think, has been some of the best leadership demonstrated from him in his statements and things since he's been elected.

00:01:16.020 So, I mean, it's a refreshing change because Lord knows I spend enough time explaining why Justin Trudeau is not a competent leader. I'm glad at least he found some strength this week.

00:01:25.980 As well, I'm going to have a guest on, of course, as always, Dave Makachuk's going to come on. He's been on a number of times before. He writes for the Western Standard and he's always specialized in military things and that.

00:01:37.040 And yeah, this was booked a while ago. Dave's down in Washington actually at a show. It's the Association of the United States Army show. It's almost a military trade show.

00:01:46.580 And yeah, some people think, oh, of all times you're going to talk about this. Yeah, I know. But the show is on right now. And actually, there are some interesting things to examine and talk about there.

00:01:54.100 For one, something out of the Canadian booth we'll talk about. But as well, I mean, with modern arms, believe it or not, if we aren't going to be able to escape from military actions,

00:02:03.760 perhaps at least with some newer, more modern means of killing each other, we can try to reduce it to the combatants as much as possible.

00:02:13.320 We haven't gotten to that world without war yet. All right, let's talk, though. I'll give my views on some of the stuff that's going on and something that's got to happen.

00:02:21.800 I want to talk about Gaza and I want to talk about Hamas. And a lot of people don't. It is a complicated history over in the Middle East.

00:02:29.740 Things of territory has come. It's gone. Gaza used to be a piece of Egypt. And then it was taken by Israel in 67.

00:02:37.860 And then Israel gave it kind of back independent to 18 years ago. And it's just never been settled.

00:02:44.700 Now, Hamas, it didn't emerge from a vacuum. You know, it was popularly. It is a popularly supported organization in Gaza.

00:02:52.780 It's their governing body. And it's been running them for 18 years. It was selected by the citizens of Gaza.

00:02:57.680 This represented. They were elected initially. Now they haven't had elections since, but they put them in there.

00:03:02.980 Now it's time for the citizens of Gaza to abandon Hamas, if only for their own sake.

00:03:08.040 I mean, it's only when locals stop supporting and shielding the terrorist efforts of Hamas will those terrorist efforts come to an end.

00:03:16.900 And when those terrorist efforts come to an end, Israel will stop retaliating.

00:03:20.660 This is the cycle of events that has to happen. I mean, the active participants within Hamas might be in a minority,

00:03:26.180 but it's looking like they still enjoy the support of most of the Gazans, if only passively. And that support has to end.

00:03:32.720 I know that not every citizen of Gaza supports the terrorist act of Hamas.

00:03:36.420 And I know that they're suffering under the retaliation.

00:03:39.680 Innocent civilians are going to suffer and they're going to get killed.

00:03:42.300 I know it's easy for me to sit safely in Canada and tell people in Gaza to turn on their fellow Hamas members. 1.00

00:03:49.040 I mean, these members are often friends, family, community leaders.

00:03:52.140 I can't imagine the punishment for a citizen caught opposing Hamas in Gaza right now.

00:03:58.600 But when the option is, having most of Gaza leveled in airstrikes and shelling,

00:04:03.660 the loyalties to the terrorists of Hamas has to start weakening.

00:04:07.860 They can't just sit back and keep blaming Israel.

00:04:10.060 What's Israel expected to do? 1.00

00:04:11.860 The scumbags of Hamas slaughtered people at a music festival. 1.00

00:04:15.460 They murdered babies, raped women, and tortured them. 1.00

00:04:18.760 They shot down entire families and now they're holding hostages. 0.99

00:04:22.740 Is Israel supposed to just shrug and let bygones be bygones?

00:04:26.080 Not going to happen, guys.

00:04:27.800 Israel isn't going to stop now until this threat is neutralized and that threat is Hamas. 0.96

00:04:31.780 It's going to be a long and bloody war if Hamas can continue hiding among the citizens of Gaza. 1.00

00:04:37.900 The terrorists of Hamas and Hezbollah, they're cowards. 1.00

00:04:40.460 They love using their own people as human shields. 1.00

00:04:42.880 Cowardice is a hallmark of terrorism.

00:04:45.360 I mean, they purposely put military installations in schools and hospitals

00:04:48.840 and of course play victim when the inevitable retaliation occurs.

00:04:53.140 I mean, clearly Israel had a breakdown in intelligence 0.76

00:04:55.000 that allowed them to be caught so off guard when Hamas attacked last weekend.

00:04:58.360 And I'm sure they're working feverishly to figure out what went wrong

00:05:00.880 and we're going to prevent such a lapse from happening again.

00:05:02.800 But how many Gazan citizens knew this attack was in the works?

00:05:07.120 Tens of thousands of them must have known as the missiles were being stockpiled,

00:05:11.320 the terrorists were being trained, and the plans were being made.

00:05:14.420 None of them were in Israel.

00:05:16.000 And all of them must have known what retaliation was going to come.

00:05:19.320 And that's because tens of thousands of Gazans support the terrorists of Hamas,

00:05:22.860 if not hundreds of thousands of them.

00:05:24.320 But there are millions of people there in Gaza.

00:05:26.140 And they surely know the retribution is going to be swift and unforgiving.

00:05:30.760 They remain silent.

00:05:32.120 If Gazans want the violence to end, they have to stop supporting Hamas. 0.75

00:05:35.480 They have to stop feeding them, stop housing them, and stop donating to them.

00:05:38.540 They need to stop hiding them and remaining silent

00:05:40.800 when they know the terrorist acts are pending.

00:05:43.060 No approach is going to stop all the violence that's surely coming

00:05:46.380 and that we're going to be watching over the coming weeks, possibly months.

00:05:49.420 But this violence isn't going to end until Hamas is gone.

00:05:51.800 That's the way it is now.

00:05:53.020 The world's not going to defend Hamas. 0.96

00:05:54.560 Sure, there's some sympathetic left-wing journalists and union heads and academics.

00:05:59.120 But when it comes to developed nations, civilized people, Hamas is on their own. 0.93

00:06:03.320 They've been condemned roundly by nations.

00:06:05.300 And sympathy for their plight as their Israeli retaliation ramps up

00:06:09.240 is going to be muted, to say the least.

00:06:11.460 Hamas didn't even pretend to make their actions look like a military strike.

00:06:14.900 They targeted civilians with the intent of being as inhuman and cruel as possible.

00:06:18.780 They dug their own graves as they went so far over the line of humanity

00:06:22.120 that no civilization can offer them sympathy.

00:06:25.280 Hamas is a dead organization, even if they don't know it yet.

00:06:28.260 They're going to be brought down.

00:06:29.400 The only question is by whom and how long it's going to take.

00:06:32.120 If Gazans shed themselves of Hamas, the violence will end at least more quickly. 0.77

00:06:36.380 And then leave them, you know, if they leave the task to Israel, 0.81

00:06:39.520 it's going to take a long time and it's going to be rough.

00:06:40.960 They can only play victims for so long when they've been clearly supporting

00:06:44.080 this horrific terror organization.

00:06:46.820 However, the reign of Hamas comes to an end, it's coming to an end.

00:06:50.540 Now, whenever it ends and Gazans start rebuilding, 0.80

00:06:52.660 hopefully their new leadership can focus on the needs of their citizens

00:06:54.780 rather than spending 18 years building bombs and fostering hate as Hamas did. 0.91

00:06:59.040 Israel pulled out of Gaza nearly 20 years ago.

00:07:01.000 How long can they still be blamed for the mess there?

00:07:03.140 Like I said, Egypt used to occupy that land.

00:07:05.020 Can they be blamed too?

00:07:06.300 And again, Egypt isn't in any hurry to have it back, that's for sure. 0.94

00:07:09.540 Only Gazans can determine what's going to happen once this conflict settles down.

00:07:12.960 Now, hopefully they're ready to look at ways of improving their state of affairs

00:07:16.200 rather than just fostering more hate and tearing down their neighbors.

00:07:21.500 All right.

00:07:22.180 Well, that's what I've got this morning to start things off.

00:07:25.400 Let's get on to our news editor, Dave Naylor, and see what else is going on out there.

00:07:29.840 Hey, Dave, how you doing?

00:07:30.980 Yeah, good afternoon, Corey.

00:07:32.580 Holy cow, what a mess over there.

00:07:35.260 I can just bring you up to date now with the latest news that's happening minute by minute.

00:07:40.400 Israeli government spokesman has confirmed that Canadians are, in fact, being held hostage.

00:07:47.280 So far, we've got a total of three Canadians killed.

00:07:51.760 Not sure how many are being held hostage, but some Canadian citizens are being held hostage.

00:07:58.620 The U.S. State Department today confirmed 22 dead Americans so far,

00:08:04.260 and obviously there'll be likely some Americans held hostage.

00:08:07.260 And the U.S. has dispatched another aircraft carrier to the region to join the one that's already there.

00:08:16.540 And some news out from the bombings in Gaza, where 11 United Nations workers have been killed,

00:08:25.080 and five Red Crescent workers, similar to the Red Cross, workers have been killed.

00:08:33.500 And apparently 30 kids were killed when a bomb hit their school.

00:08:39.500 Why they were going to school, I have no idea.

00:08:42.500 But, yeah, it certainly changes minute by minute, doesn't it, Corey?

00:08:46.300 And unfortunately, we're just going to be seeing a lot of terrible images for weeks to come, as I said.

00:08:52.540 I mean, you know, the more we have social media to be able to share these things,

00:08:55.520 I guess we're getting faster news, but it isn't pretty.

00:08:57.980 Yeah.

00:08:58.220 On the side right now, we've got a story that's absolutely going crazy viral.

00:09:06.020 Former Hamas leader Marshall has called for a global jihad on Friday,

00:09:12.540 calling on Muslims around the world to rise up.

00:09:16.800 Tory MP Mark Strahl from Chilliwack Hope has called for Air Canada to fire that pilot

00:09:25.800 who was photographed yesterday wearing a Palestinian scarf 0.67

00:09:30.200 and also tweeting stuff about Israel going to hell

00:09:34.560 and how Adolf Hitler would be applauding Israel and their movements now.

00:09:41.320 And just coming up, we've got a story on an Alberta NDP candidate.

00:09:45.520 No, sorry, not getting a candidate.

00:09:47.720 She's a serving MLA, Calgary Klein MLA Lizette Teja,

00:09:52.360 going on a rant about Israel committing genocide and barbaric acts.

00:10:01.380 If you want a break from all the Israeli coverage, 0.99

00:10:04.280 our columnist Barry Cooper has got a story on Canada being ruled by ignoramuses. 0.94

00:10:11.800 And you can see the blackface picture of Trudeau there. 0.88

00:10:14.580 So it doesn't take much to figure out who he's talking about.

00:10:19.340 And our columnist Barber is making an argument for limiting the number of immigrants 1.00

00:10:25.200 that the Liberals plan to bring into the country.

00:10:30.380 And OPEC sort of stating the bleeding obvious as they are concerned with all these moves to the net zero movement.

00:10:40.140 And I'm basically saying the demand for oil is not going to go down for decades to come.

00:10:47.220 So extremely busy news day, Corey, and lots more to come.

00:10:52.260 We were just putting up a story on a Mount Royal University professor who has written some interesting things,

00:11:00.380 shall we say, about Israel and Palestine.

00:11:03.560 And I know Mount Royal is set to put out a statement on it.

00:11:06.820 So we'll have that for you as soon as possible.

00:11:09.760 All right, Dave, thanks.

00:11:12.240 Well, we'll let you get back to keeping up with all those updates and see how things unfold.

00:11:19.600 Yeah, if anything big happens, Corey, I'll come back in and tell the viewers about it.

00:11:25.500 Great. Thanks, Dave.

00:11:26.740 So that was our news editor, Dave Naylor.

00:11:28.440 This is what I like to remind everybody, you guys watching on cable or you guys on our social media channels,

00:11:32.940 the way we're hanging in there, guys, the way we can make it through this world when it's fallen to the wayside,

00:11:38.640 but the government is shutting down news access to social media is through subscribers.

00:11:43.600 And we've got a great amount of subscribers.

00:11:45.720 They've been doing fantastic, and we appreciate them.

00:11:48.220 And if you haven't subscribed yet, get on there, guys.

00:11:50.360 WesternStandard.News slash memberships, just like having a newspaper subscription in the past.

00:11:53.900 As you can see, all those stories are coming up all the time.

00:11:56.820 We are on top of things. We have reporters.

00:11:59.140 We have columnists all over. Get past that paywall.

00:12:02.080 Take out a subscription.

00:12:03.640 And again, as I said, if you already have, thank you.

00:12:05.700 We really do appreciate it.

00:12:07.340 So, you know, before I get to Dave, I see him getting set there from the show, Mr. McInchuk.

00:12:11.980 I just also want to point out, Canada has a problem being taken seriously on the world stage.

00:12:16.720 It sounds like Mr. Cooper and his column there is covering a bit of that.

00:12:21.040 And, you know, I have been complimentary.

00:12:23.580 I agree. Prime Minister Trudeau has actually said the right things.

00:12:27.000 The two things that the hard left have trouble talking about when it comes to this Middle Eastern thing.

00:12:31.440 Justin Trudeau was very clear for a change and definitive on them.

00:12:36.100 He called the actions of Hamas what they are.

00:12:38.480 He called them terrorism.

00:12:40.180 And he called them terrorists.

00:12:41.880 Again, our CBC is afraid to use that word.

00:12:44.180 But that's what they are, of course.

00:12:45.380 I mean, what else could you call it?

00:12:47.300 So kudos to Prime Minister Trudeau for saying that.

00:12:50.140 And the other second part, which is very important, was him saying that Israel has the right to defend itself, which it does.

00:12:57.640 And I know some people keep getting upset about what's going on in Gaza.

00:12:59.900 Well, what do you expect them to do?

00:13:01.980 But then as we start at least sounding like we're thinking things out and we are, you know, taking a ration approach to things,

00:13:09.260 we have our Foreign Affairs Minister, Melanie Jolie, popping up at a news conference.

00:13:14.240 And she's decked out, she's cut her hair short, and she's wearing a military-style blazer.

00:13:19.020 She's following the liberal tradition of playing dress-up. 0.99

00:13:22.240 She's now a wartime leader.

00:13:24.380 She wants to look like the president of Ukraine and sit there in her nice green uniform with the new pretty haircut. 0.99

00:13:31.160 And you've lost every bit of ground where you started to sound like serious leaders. 1.00

00:13:36.000 You clown in one stupid move. 1.00

00:13:38.920 How vacuous can you get? 1.00

00:13:40.260 And let's not pretend that was an error in fashion.

00:13:43.640 I mean, I don't expect her to come out dressed poorly, but you don't sit there and act as if you may come under assault in Ottawa at some point.

00:13:51.640 You don't need to wear camouflage, Ms. Jolie.

00:13:55.340 You just need to come across as a competent minister.

00:13:58.480 And again, Canada starts looking just not serious.

00:14:02.360 That's the problem we have.

00:14:03.420 People don't take us seriously.

00:14:04.900 How can you?

00:14:06.580 All right.

00:14:07.300 Thanks, Melanie.

00:14:08.140 You know, carry on with your cosplay and maybe somebody will enjoy the fetish play a little later with that.

00:14:15.080 Okay.

00:14:15.500 So let's get on to Dave Makachuk.

00:14:18.340 He's out there in Washington, D.C.

00:14:20.120 He's at the Association of the United States Army show.

00:14:22.840 And he's been covering some of the displays there.

00:14:27.140 Hey there, Dave.

00:14:27.920 How's it going?

00:14:29.060 Hello.

00:14:29.600 Hello.

00:14:30.060 How are you?

00:14:30.960 Very good.

00:14:31.660 Thank you.

00:14:32.080 So, and you've got someone with you.

00:14:34.920 I'll let you introduce him, Mr. Makachuk.

00:14:36.980 Yes, yes.

00:14:37.960 He is Mr. Carl Landrum, and he's vice president of civilian programs and strategy at D-Drone.

00:14:44.940 He's a drone expert, and he's going to explain some of the products that his company is providing.

00:14:50.860 They are partners with a huge company called Axon, which is right here.

00:14:55.740 By the way, if you hear explosions, they have a theater here, and there's also a taser.

00:15:00.900 People are getting a chance to fire tasers here, too, because Axon makes tasers as well.

00:15:07.300 And they're a huge company, and they're atypical.

00:15:11.420 They're atypical of the kind of company that will come to AUSA.

00:15:16.300 And Carl will explain that.

00:15:18.220 But I just wanted to say about our minister who is wearing Army clothes dress-up.

00:15:24.160 But the military people walking around this show are real military, and they proudly wear their uniforms.

00:15:32.080 And they wear their uniforms for a reason.

00:15:35.380 They don't play Army.

00:15:37.120 They are Army.

00:15:38.480 And thank God that they're our allies, okay?

00:15:41.960 So I just wanted to get that.

00:15:44.720 No problem.

00:15:45.840 It just floored me when I saw it this morning.

00:15:47.560 Like, holy cow. 0.99

00:15:48.920 Oh, that's ridiculous. 1.00

00:15:50.280 That's ridiculous. 0.99

00:15:50.860 I just learned of it, so I'm kind of shocked.

00:15:53.160 In any case, Mr. Landrum is going to explain about he has some real exciting products to show here.

00:16:03.980 And he can explain to you better than I can, well, obviously, exactly what it's about.

00:16:12.260 So go ahead, Carl.

00:16:14.180 All right.

00:16:14.560 Thank you, Dave.

00:16:15.220 Appreciate that.

00:16:16.000 And thanks, everybody, for listening in.

00:16:17.800 So I work for a company called D-Drone.

00:16:20.920 And what we do is we are in the smart airspace security business.

00:16:26.240 We are a global company.

00:16:27.620 We're operating at 500 different sites around the world and in 30 countries around the world right now, providing smart airspace security around the world.

00:16:38.000 And here at D-Drone, we work on what we really are is we really are a software company.

00:16:46.940 So we have a large, robust C2, a large sensor fusion engine.

00:16:51.540 And we bring in all of that capability through utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning.

00:17:00.240 We have a very large machine learning team here that builds these models and these frameworks and allows these detections of drones in the area to be identified.

00:17:11.280 And then if, depending upon where this is occurring around the world, if the operator, whether it's a soldier, an agent, an officer, whatever they actually are, if they have mitigation authority, then we actually will provide the ability for them to mitigate a drone that has been determined to be illicit or a threat.

00:17:32.620 And by mitigate, they mean take it out, get rid of it.

00:17:36.440 And we're standing actually right next to their mobile device, which uses RF, correct, to detect it.

00:17:45.940 And then it switches to a radar and then it switches to a camera that can detect, what was the distance?

00:17:52.820 Was it 20 kilometers?

00:17:54.040 We have a very robust layered solution.

00:17:57.180 So a lot of people will count on one of those.

00:17:59.620 They'll count on RF, radar, or camera.

00:18:01.600 Through our artificial intelligence, the system will utilize all three of those types of sensors and will identify the location, localize that particular object while it's in the air.

00:18:13.020 It's very, very good.

00:18:14.520 It'll weed out birds, airplanes, the things that it's not supposed to find.

00:18:18.420 It'll actually categorize a drone and then bring in that picture of it, which is really important, especially if you're in a battle space somewhere,

00:18:26.200 because you can determine whether or not that drone is carrying a payload by what you see on the screen.

00:18:31.920 And then that will also elevate your decision-making process and trying to mitigate that, whether or not you're going to do it and or how you're going to do it.

00:18:41.160 And apparently that camera is so powerful, all it needs is, what, two or three pixels?

00:18:47.160 At three kilometers, it picks up the drone with four pixels only.

00:18:50.760 So with the human eye, we still can't even see it on the screen yet.

00:18:54.340 It still has to get closer, about two kilometers out before we start seeing it on the screen.

00:18:58.680 But the camera will actually detect it a kilometer out, and you can see that positive detection light now.

00:19:04.560 And this, we're talking about a mobile system.

00:19:07.640 It's mobile.

00:19:08.880 You can, and what you said, it packs into a bunch of cases?

00:19:14.400 The newest system that we showed you a little while ago, that particular system sits on two towers.

00:19:21.180 So we call it two stacks.

00:19:22.760 One of them is all different RF capabilities.

00:19:25.020 There's three different RF capabilities on that particular stack.

00:19:28.320 The other one holds radar and camera.

00:19:30.880 All of that system is called D-Drone Tactical.

00:19:33.900 And that was done as a, you know, a rapid adaptation because the customer needed a way to be mobile and be able to move that product quickly, set it up quickly, and break it down quickly.

00:19:48.480 So what it does, that entire system you saw breaks down into 11 Pelican cases.

00:19:52.720 So you can move it in and out of vehicles easily, airplanes easily, up and down stairwells easily in order to get it set up in a rapid way.

00:20:01.020 And like I said, that was really a company-wide rapid adaptation to what customers needed in the field.

00:20:08.280 And this is predominantly a defensive system, though, right?

00:20:11.480 It's mostly there for the protection of, you know, people.

00:20:14.540 It's not an offensive sort of system, though it has capability to mitigate.

00:20:18.140 It's defensive, yes, yes.

00:20:20.420 Yeah, go ahead, sorry.

00:20:21.460 It sets up, and what it does is it'll set up a defensive bubble around you.

00:20:26.100 And then also, as long as you have the authority to mitigate, then it can actually mitigate and be somewhat offensive in that respect.

00:20:34.400 So in other words, there was a case, I think, last year in South America where a South American leader came out on the stage to welcome people who had voted for him.

00:20:44.720 And then all of a sudden, a drone attacked.

00:20:47.440 This system would eliminate that entirely.

00:20:51.460 It would take care of that.

00:20:52.720 You'd be able to, you know, it's also for base security, full base security.

00:20:57.380 And Apsom has all kinds of, they do police cameras.

00:21:03.200 They do toss-in robots where you throw it in, and it has a camera, and it'll drive around.

00:21:11.300 And they have all kinds of security equipment like that.

00:21:15.440 So it's really interesting.

00:21:17.620 It's all cutting edge.

00:21:19.400 And you were talking about AI.

00:21:21.240 How does AI get that?

00:21:22.580 Because everybody's talking AI.

00:21:24.380 How does that affect your product?

00:21:26.640 So the way it works, I was explaining at the beginning.

00:21:30.020 So we are a very robust software company.

00:21:33.220 That's what we are.

00:21:34.620 We do make product, and we do integrate with products from other companies.

00:21:39.860 We're integrated right now with 45 other companies.

00:21:43.440 What's really key about that is that if somebody over the past several years, a lot of people

00:21:48.280 that have been investing in this type of technology, they have spent millions of dollars in different

00:21:54.060 types of sensors and bringing those capabilities.

00:21:56.800 And if they engage with D-Drone and utilized our particular products, we would not only bring them all the futuristic stuff,

00:22:05.380 everything that is new to market right now, but I can also integrate all of their existing products as well

00:22:11.780 so they don't lose their investment that they've already put in over the past several years.

00:22:16.860 And then with all that, with our machine learning team, what those guys do is they're actually building machine learning models

00:22:26.420 and then those models are what's loaded up and what become the artificial intelligence.

00:22:32.140 So that's machine learning.

00:22:33.480 We're talking about machine learning for these devices, which is absolutely amazing.

00:22:39.520 They can learn on their own.

00:22:41.220 So this entire system, in the end, because of the AI, because of the artificial intelligence,

00:22:46.480 this entire system will be able to operate autonomously.

00:22:50.320 And the only part of it and what we call it is we no longer say like a man or woman in the loop.

00:22:55.780 Now we say on the loop.

00:22:58.020 And what that is is that everything about this can be automated except for the actual hitting the mitigation button

00:23:04.760 because that requires authority to do it in most places.

00:23:08.020 So that you need a human involved to make the decision to hit the button to take that thing out of the sky.

00:23:14.180 And by taking it out, it's not – they don't crash into it.

00:23:18.920 They take it down with RF.

00:23:20.520 Right.

00:23:20.780 We just take it down.

00:23:22.300 They can take it down.

00:23:22.960 So anyway, thanks, Carl.

00:23:26.200 Appreciate this very much.

00:23:28.240 Thank you for taking time to talk to Western Standard readers.

00:23:32.640 Yes, thank you.

00:23:35.200 Oh, just say yes.

00:23:37.460 Okay.

00:23:38.320 Thank you.

00:23:38.880 Appreciate it.

00:23:39.880 Thank you so much.

00:23:40.540 Thanks, Carl.

00:23:40.960 So anyway, I just wanted to quickly tell you a little bit about AUSA.

00:23:48.960 It is 700 different companies come here every year from 80 countries.

00:23:56.000 And there are visitors from – well, basically about 35,000 people attend over a week.

00:24:06.020 And it involves media, like myself, industry company workers, strictly company, and military from all over the world.

00:24:18.600 I've seen soldiers from Germany.

00:24:21.020 I've seen – I've seen – from Egypt.

00:24:23.960 I've seen – and everybody is here company-wise except for China and Russia.

00:24:31.240 And Turkey decided not to come this year because they're doing better in the Mideast.

00:24:36.220 And they're having a hard time breaking into the American market.

00:24:42.060 But, I mean, we're talking – the U.S. has billions of dollars to spend.

00:24:48.440 And they're all vying – these companies come here to present their products and talk to industry or military people in the U.S. Army.

00:24:59.760 And also there's meetings, there's roundtables with U.S. generals, there's demonstrations.

00:25:07.400 Like I say, the Axon here has a – they have a theater.

00:25:14.500 They actually have a theater where they've made a film about their products.

00:25:21.420 And it's just really incredible.

00:25:23.840 We're talking millions of dollars just to be here.

00:25:26.360 Yeah, so, I mean, they're obviously displaying some of the top-of-the-line modern technology there.

00:25:32.660 Going a little further, though, I'd heard – so, Popeye Canada has a table there.

00:25:36.480 And getting to more conventional things, you asked about the acquisition of the SIG handguns.

00:25:43.760 Well, yes, because the SIG – oh, yeah.

00:25:46.080 We bought – apparently, I didn't even know this.

00:25:48.800 But we got a big contract from SIG Sauer for these new handguns, which they call Canada handguns.

00:25:56.380 And they're really impressive devices.

00:25:58.620 I think something like 12,000 of them.

00:26:02.360 And I went to the Canadian booth here.

00:26:05.600 We have a booth.

00:26:07.000 And there was a gentleman there at the table, the reception table.

00:26:10.800 And I asked him, I said, so, do you know anything about this?

00:26:13.840 He said, no, I'm an expert in climate change.

00:26:18.500 Well, did he give you –

00:26:20.300 We have a military –

00:26:21.260 So, we have somebody there who's an expert in climate change?

00:26:27.880 Duh.

00:26:29.480 Again, that comes back to how Canada just can't be taken seriously anymore, unfortunately.

00:26:33.560 Exactly.

00:26:34.040 It goes back to your point.

00:26:35.480 I mean, why aren't we trying to sell Canadian products, military products?

00:26:42.080 Apparently, we have some kind of new machine, an Arctic machine that can haul things.

00:26:50.480 And it's a company that I just discovered.

00:26:55.140 Believe it or not, this thing can – if it falls through the ice, it shoots out a hook and winches itself back up.

00:27:03.120 And that's made in Canada.

00:27:04.980 And that's something I'm going to write on as soon as I find out more about it.

00:27:09.180 I just discovered it here at the show, which I thought was really interesting.

00:27:13.180 Another thing I just wanted to say – I won't hold you too much longer.

00:27:17.060 But basically, the war fighting is changing dynamically.

00:27:24.700 Look at what's going on in Israel.

00:27:27.020 War fighting is just changing dynamically.

00:27:30.180 And basically, what it's doing is taking the war fighter away from the front.

00:27:36.580 He doesn't have to be near the front.

00:27:38.500 Everything is autonomous now.

00:27:40.600 There's a D-8 bulldozer upstairs, massive thing, and it can work autonomously.

00:27:47.720 It can do work and take all the bullets and nothing's going to happen to it.

00:27:51.880 But the same with trucks, same with unmanned weapons, the war fighter doesn't have to be on the front anymore.

00:27:59.600 It's pulling the war fighter back and letting machines with AI take over.

00:28:06.840 It's fascinating.

00:28:07.760 And we're on the cusp of it.

00:28:09.120 And it's huge here.

00:28:10.160 It's really huge.

00:28:10.880 Yeah, well, it sounds like something out of a science fiction novel.

00:28:14.100 I would hope, I guess, the only thing we can hope for is this will eventually mitigate civilian casualties in these conflicts.

00:28:21.460 You find ways to get more accurate.

00:28:23.680 The wars aren't going away as much as we'd like them to.

00:28:26.540 But if we could try to keep them between the combatants, it would be, I guess, less horrible.

00:28:32.040 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:32.780 Yeah, and, I mean, it's just terrible what's happened to Israel, and that's, I don't know, I asked, not a lot of people want to comment about that here.

00:28:41.560 Their companies don't really want them to say much.

00:28:44.240 But basically, it's a, from what I was talking to the regular soldiers, they say it's back to, as far as that situation, it's conventional warfare.

00:28:55.800 It's going to be guerrilla warfare, conventional warfare, and it's going to be really nasty, very nasty.

00:29:02.780 And I really feel tremendous sympathy for all those victims, and it's just, like Dave said, it's a mess.

00:29:14.500 It's just a terrible mess, and it's, you know, unfortunately, this is the reality of 2023.

00:29:22.760 And our prime minister, you know, is clueless, clueless.

00:29:30.180 He's cutting the military at a time when we need to stand strong.

00:29:34.780 We need to stand strong and support our military, and we should have a stronger position here.

00:29:40.560 We really should.

00:29:41.520 We should be working, because there's technologies here that could really help us.

00:29:46.400 There really is.

00:29:47.920 I mean, I even saw a new detection system that they're selling to schools, detection, you know, for weapons and knives.

00:29:58.160 There are two towers that cost $15,000.

00:30:00.800 They're made by CEA in Italy, and the U.S. schools are buying them.

00:30:05.460 And you put them at the entrance to anywhere, schools anywhere, and they can detect weapons and knives.

00:30:13.420 And that's a technology that we could use, you know.

00:30:16.500 We might, because someday we may need that.

00:30:19.140 Hopefully not soon, but someday we might.

00:30:22.780 Anyway, I just wanted to give you an idea of what's going on here, and it's pretty exciting.

00:30:27.520 There's lots going on.

00:30:28.480 Well, I appreciate it.

00:30:30.100 Well, thanks for checking in with us from down there, Dave, and I'll let you carry on.

00:30:34.040 I know there's a lot to cover, and I look forward to your columns and talking to you when you get back.

00:30:39.020 Yes, yes.

00:30:39.840 And I'm going to file something on the show, and I'll send it in to Dave very soon.

00:30:47.100 And then I'm going to head to the West End Bar.

00:30:49.700 Right on.

00:30:50.580 It's been a long week.

00:30:51.980 Okay, it certainly has.

00:30:53.320 Thanks, Dave.

00:30:53.900 I'll talk to you again soon.

00:30:55.200 Okay.

00:30:55.760 Take care.

00:30:56.260 So that is our Dave Makachuk coming live, yeah, from the Association of the United States Army show.

00:31:03.300 And, yeah, you know, again, we're talking about an arms-dealing show when we're in the midst of seeing, you know,

00:31:08.560 the terrible things happening in Israel right now.

00:31:12.100 But that's what I wanted to focus on.

00:31:13.720 That was interesting.

00:31:14.620 It was listening to the defensive aspects.

00:31:16.040 Like, we still need the technology.

00:31:18.820 Some of the people talked about how did Israel get hit so hard?

00:31:22.700 How were their pants down?

00:31:23.880 I mean, there was definitely an intelligence breakdown.

00:31:25.840 When you hear some of the numbers, initially, they launched something like 2,000 missiles, 2,000 into Israel.

00:31:32.840 And, yeah, it managed to cause thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths.

00:31:37.720 But you look at those numbers, thousands of missiles.

00:31:40.380 You see, there is that iron dome system that can only manage so much.

00:31:44.820 But clearly, it stopped a lot of those missiles.

00:31:48.820 Not enough, but a lot.

00:31:50.500 So, I mean, it wasn't a total failure as far as that goes.

00:31:53.200 When we're talking, the term is mitigate.

00:31:55.020 You can't eliminate, unfortunately, in these situations.

00:31:58.380 As Dave talked about in the end, the next phase, we're seeing that coming along and what's happening over there.

00:32:03.280 So, Israel's called up over 300,000 reservists.

00:32:07.280 They're getting ready.

00:32:08.260 They're going to go in on the ground.

00:32:09.480 They're going to go door to door.

00:32:10.980 They're going to root out the Hamas terrorists.

00:32:14.160 They're going to clean them out, and it's going to take a while.

00:32:16.580 It's going to be street to street.

00:32:18.140 It's going to be awful.

00:32:19.260 We're just seeing the beginning of this.

00:32:21.100 I've seen some of the, you know, statements from some of the other folks.

00:32:23.240 It's just a fair comment.

00:32:24.360 Absolutely, you know, Langdon Industries is saying the Middle East is the Middle East's problem.

00:32:28.360 You know, other folks have said things along the lines of it's their issue.

00:32:31.940 But, guys, it's not.

00:32:32.840 It's bigger than that.

00:32:34.060 It's bigger than that.

00:32:34.700 They've got Canadian hostages there.

00:32:36.200 They've got American hostages there.

00:32:38.000 We have citizens there.

00:32:39.220 It impacts things all around.

00:32:42.360 Unfortunately, whether you want to, you know, look at it like that or not, we can't just turn our backs on this.

00:32:47.560 And there's part of, you know, people are wondering. 0.96

00:32:49.660 I mean, Hamas, they're crazy. 0.96

00:32:51.060 They're bloodthirsty. 1.00

00:32:51.840 They're vicious. 1.00

00:32:53.220 They're not stupid. 1.00

00:32:54.360 I wish they were. 1.00

00:32:55.800 They're not typically stupid. 1.00

00:32:57.060 They know. 1.00

00:32:57.720 They knew the hornet's nest they were poking.

00:33:00.280 So what was their intent?

00:33:01.820 I think for the true believers, the hardcores, they really do want to bring about the big Middle Eastern war. 1.00

00:33:06.540 They want to bring about the end times.

00:33:08.540 They want this battle to spread.

00:33:11.460 They want it to go to Iran, to Saudi Arabia.

00:33:14.000 They want the Middle East to come in and try to wipe Israel off the map. 1.00

00:33:17.280 And that could spread even farther into other areas.

00:33:19.920 And remember, that terrorism comes across the ocean over here at times, too.

00:33:24.760 You know, this stuff, this mess in the Middle East, it was certainly an integral part of the World Trade Center bombing and a lot of other terrorist acts in other parts of the world. 0.99

00:33:34.900 So we can't totally ignore it.

00:33:37.240 We don't want to immerse ourselves in it.

00:33:38.640 I'm not saying we should start sending what's left of our Canadian military into that mess or anything like that.

00:33:42.860 I'm just saying this is a big problem.

00:33:44.660 It's going to impact us whether we want a part of it or not.

00:33:48.440 So we're hearing about the United States has been sending a great number of warships and carriers over there.

00:33:53.620 The United Kingdom's been doing so.

00:33:55.080 I think Germany sent somebody over there, too.

00:33:56.960 They're moving in on the area.

00:33:58.880 I don't think it's because they're eager to dive in.

00:34:01.180 I'm sure it's because they don't want to.

00:34:03.420 But it's the show of force to tell Iran, to tell Lebanon, to tell the others, guys, don't escalate this because it's going to end poorly.

00:34:13.600 Let's not spread it out further.

00:34:15.180 It's going to get a heck of a lot worse for you guys if you jump in on this mess.

00:34:19.740 And that's what that show of force is about.

00:34:22.860 Let's hope this doesn't spread further.

00:34:25.660 And, yeah, there's no AI or other things that are going to stop the door-to-door terrible aspects of this war as it's going to unfold and continue. 0.96

00:34:35.060 So some of the commentary, some of the idiocy, some of the crap out there that's been going on over this already. 0.98

00:34:41.040 You know, anti-Semitism. 0.99

00:34:44.840 I understand this.

00:34:45.980 People say opposing Israel's policies isn't necessarily anti-Semitism.

00:34:49.740 No, it absolutely isn't.

00:34:51.780 But when you get a lot of the criticism of Israel, you don't have to scratch that hard quite often.

00:34:56.500 Usually you do find a Jew hater underneath.

00:34:58.560 And we're seeing them, guys.

00:34:59.740 We're seeing them in spades.

00:35:00.600 I'm seeing them on the extreme right and on the extreme left.

00:35:02.800 It's actually a good mark of the extreme.

00:35:04.980 It just seems to be the thing they'll always embrace when they hit the extremes, whether it's left or right, is let's blame the Jews.

00:35:11.040 It's always been a favorite, hasn't it?

00:35:14.320 So here's the beauty of a tweet.

00:35:17.880 This was out this morning or yesterday.

00:35:20.120 This is from Trudy Crowe.

00:35:21.460 She identifies herself as a proud liberal supporter of human rights, women's rights, and the LGBTQ community lover of animals.

00:35:29.080 Okay.

00:35:29.840 But she was correcting a story that talked about the beheading of babies.

00:35:32.660 And apparently it seems to have happened.

00:35:34.080 I know some people are denying it, but yes, it sounds like it's happened.

00:35:35.640 She corrected it, though.

00:35:36.820 She said they did not behead 40 babies.

00:35:38.840 They only killed 40, and some were beheaded.

00:35:42.000 That's literally what she said.

00:35:44.500 Oh.

00:35:46.100 Oh. 0.99

00:35:46.720 Well, if they didn't behead all of them, that's not so bad, right? 1.00

00:35:48.940 Like, this is the idiocy. 1.00

00:35:53.140 This is the level. 1.00

00:35:54.100 This is where they're coming in to try and soft sell what these monsters from Hamas did. 0.99

00:36:01.480 Guys, the images that are coming out on the internet that we're seeing, I know a lot of us are trying to tear our eyes away from those images.

00:36:08.320 They aren't coming from the IDF.

00:36:09.900 They aren't coming from Israel.

00:36:11.080 Israel, they're coming from Hamas themselves. 0.63

00:36:13.780 These guys are showing off the atrocities they've been doing.

00:36:18.020 This is not fake stuff, guys.

00:36:19.860 It's not a false flag.

00:36:21.120 And I tell you, if you want to get quickly blocked by me on Twitter, by all means, start down that crackpot road.

00:36:27.400 Israel didn't bring it on themselves.

00:36:29.160 Israel, are they the nicest player out there?

00:36:31.100 Not by a long shot.

00:36:32.620 No.

00:36:33.320 No, they aren't.

00:36:34.760 But they are the closest thing in the whole Middle East to a bastion of freedom.

00:36:40.340 And that's just something that I can never understand out of the left.

00:36:44.700 You've only got one spot. 0.97

00:36:45.580 The giant Middle East theocracies, human rights crap holes, terrible respect for human rights throughout over there. 1.00

00:36:55.780 No elections. 0.99

00:36:56.840 They tend to be always dictatorships.

00:37:00.680 And one spot, Israel, where you've got democracy, where it's legal to be gay, where they had a female leader. 0.96

00:37:10.900 Decades ago. 0.98

00:37:12.620 Yet, the left hates them.

00:37:14.520 They want Israel gone.

00:37:16.080 They want the entire Middle East to be, I guess, a human rights dump. 1.00

00:37:19.820 I listened to the idiot leader, Fred Hahn. 1.00

00:37:23.540 He's from the Canadian Union of Public Employees. 1.00

00:37:25.700 He's their Ontario leader.

00:37:27.100 He's been going on about the evils of Israel and nasty and on and on.

00:37:31.840 He has been. 0.83

00:37:32.340 All right.

00:37:32.560 And we're not talking about somebody just criticizing Israel.

00:37:35.400 There's people celebrating Hamas.

00:37:37.540 Big difference between the two.

00:37:38.740 And they are.

00:37:39.300 They're celebrating Hamas. 0.99

00:37:41.100 They're saying it's great what they're doing.

00:37:43.440 Keep up the good work. 0.98

00:37:44.200 Now, this Fred Hahn is openly gay. 0.93

00:37:47.500 Fine. 0.96

00:37:48.860 But how? 0.95

00:37:49.500 How can you, Mr. Hahn, as a gay man, support the end of Israel? 0.95

00:37:56.400 Because you know what? 0.88

00:37:57.200 That's the only spot in that entire region for a thousand kilometers in every direction

00:38:02.220 where a man like you won't be killed.

00:38:06.500 You can go to Tel Aviv, hit the nightclubs, have a good time, do some cruising.

00:38:10.740 Do that anywhere outside of there.

00:38:12.380 And you'll be thrown off a building.

00:38:13.760 You'll be thrown into a prison. 0.99

00:38:15.120 You'll be tortured.

00:38:15.920 You'll be charged.

00:38:17.200 Yet, you oppose that one country that allows people to live who they are and be all right

00:38:21.800 with it.

00:38:23.100 Why?

00:38:23.700 I don't understand.

00:38:25.300 I really don't.

00:38:27.380 The tax-funded Canadian anti-hate network.

00:38:29.860 Yeah, this is a neat one.

00:38:30.700 They got a bunch of money. 1.00

00:38:31.780 There's a bunch of jerks. 1.00

00:38:33.200 Anti-hate network. 1.00

00:38:34.180 See, they cloaked themselves in these words.

00:38:36.440 We are anti-hate, thus we must be good.

00:38:38.540 Really?

00:38:39.180 Most of what that anti-hate network has gone on about was the convoy.

00:38:44.000 You know, the trucker's convoy in Ottawa.

00:38:45.340 That was the terrible, big, odious thing going on.

00:38:48.480 And then they, you know, went on about recently about the March for Children, you know, for

00:38:55.740 the rights of parents.

00:38:56.920 That was a big anti-hate issue for them to get on to.

00:38:59.860 They haven't said a single thing in a week now.

00:39:02.880 They won't touch this.

00:39:03.860 They won't touch a bunch of people who were chanting gas the Jews at some protests.

00:39:08.320 People who were waving Hamas flags at some of these protests.

00:39:11.740 No.

00:39:13.200 Silent on that.

00:39:15.240 Why?

00:39:16.320 I mean, aren't you opposed to all hate?

00:39:18.180 No.

00:39:18.680 No, you aren't.

00:39:19.820 You're only opposed to the hate that apparently is acceptable, you know, to oppose with the

00:39:25.440 left wing.

00:39:25.800 I don't understand this weird cognitive dissonance of you people.

00:39:29.980 I really don't.

00:39:31.760 And I get sick of it.

00:39:35.820 It's happening all over.

00:39:36.740 So we're seeing the union heads doing that.

00:39:37.900 The QP accounts, again, have been celebrating.

00:39:40.320 And again, they are not talking about being critical of Israel.

00:39:42.080 They're celebrating the murderous slaughter of, again, slaughter of people who went to

00:39:48.800 a music festival.

00:39:51.000 The slaughter of people who were peacefully sitting on a kibbutz just trying to live their 0.81

00:39:54.700 lives.

00:39:55.640 They didn't go after military targets. 1.00

00:39:57.140 These cowards. 0.99

00:39:58.020 No, they went after civilians. 0.99

00:39:59.760 And we have unions saying it was good. 0.99

00:40:02.580 Disgusting. 1.00

00:40:03.960 Disgusting is what it is. 1.00

00:40:05.500 And then they call themselves anti-hate people. 0.95

00:40:08.520 Figure that one out.

00:40:09.360 Either way, we're going to be hearing about this for quite a while.

00:40:13.760 And it's going to be, you know, a big issue.

00:40:16.160 It's unavoidable.

00:40:17.300 So I don't know.

00:40:19.040 Let's hope to see things settle as easily, I guess, as rationally possible.

00:40:24.140 But again, I keep asking people.

00:40:25.420 There's a screaming about the response to Israel and Gaza right now.

00:40:29.080 Israel's warning them, at least.

00:40:30.280 They're saying, get out of this section, get away from these buildings, because we are

00:40:34.400 going to bomb it.

00:40:35.560 And they bomb it, because that's what they have to do. 0.96

00:40:38.400 They've just been attacked.

00:40:40.760 Did Hamas give Israel any warning? 1.00

00:40:43.600 Hey, by the way, we're going to pop down, grab some women from the festival, and rape 1.00

00:40:47.000 and torture them and murder them, and then go into the kibbutzes and murder babies? 1.00

00:40:50.960 I don't think they gave any warning. 0.99

00:40:52.680 Why are you expecting that?

00:40:53.520 But Israel, again, as a wartime nation, is being as nice.

00:40:59.000 They've got the power to turn all of Gaza into dust. 1.00

00:41:02.300 They could.

00:41:03.040 They could in a minute.

00:41:04.480 They could bomb that area completely level and then just build on top of it.

00:41:08.040 They aren't doing that.

00:41:10.000 There's going to be some civilians killed in Gaza who were perfectly innocent, and it's 1.00

00:41:15.000 horrible.

00:41:15.620 It's terrible.

00:41:16.640 But the ones at fault are the terrorists who started this.

00:41:19.540 Do not blame Israel.

00:41:21.640 What do you expect them to do?

00:41:23.980 That's the question I keep asking.

00:41:25.020 What do you expect them to do?

00:41:25.640 Just sit there then and let them keep fostering and creating these terrorists to keep attacking

00:41:30.920 them?

00:41:31.980 I mean, would you? 1.00

00:41:32.940 If you were in a house and you had neighbors who kept coming over and raping your daughters 1.00

00:41:36.960 and murdering your neighbors, you're just going to sit there? 0.97

00:41:40.180 Please stop doing that. 0.97

00:41:41.840 No.

00:41:42.520 Eventually, you're going to fight back.

00:41:44.920 And that's what's happening.

00:41:47.500 We'll see what comes out of it.

00:41:48.940 Other ancillary, I guess, effects, you know, from this whole thing.

00:41:54.480 Oil prices.

00:41:55.240 Yeah, they're going to be shooting through the roof.

00:41:57.600 I guess in Western Canada, that'll be a benefit to us.

00:42:01.700 I mean, we don't want to benefit on wartime things.

00:42:03.860 Whenever the Middle East gets into it, it just never seems to end, right? 1.00

00:42:06.900 It's every 10 years or so, there's another big conflict.

00:42:09.620 So the oil prices are going to shoot through the roof.

00:42:11.700 Hey, I think we're possibly maybe a year and some away from having the Trans Mountain

00:42:19.480 Pipeline expansion finished, though.

00:42:20.760 I won't believe it until it's time.

00:42:22.760 You know, Canada really could be supplying the world with safe, clean energy, but we just

00:42:26.540 seem to be too busy stopping ourselves, virtue signaling.

00:42:28.920 As Dave pointed out, you know, he's at a trade show for military hardware, and the Canadian

00:42:33.540 booth is manned by a person who doesn't even know about the purchase of handguns for Canadian

00:42:37.680 soldiers, but he was there to talk about climate change.

00:42:42.280 Wow, we got our priorities right. 1.00

00:42:44.680 So yeah, when the government's that ideological, when the government's that myopic and stupid, 0.99

00:42:49.560 it's not that shocking, I guess, that we're not allowing ourselves to be positioned to 0.99

00:42:53.380 at least financially, you know, maximize our returns on being an energy producing nation.

00:43:00.640 No, we're shutting in our oil and gas.

00:43:03.020 I don't know, people are saying it's still been rising.

00:43:05.120 Yes, it is, but we're capped.

00:43:06.120 And I mean, Western Canadian oil, you've got to understand, we get nailed on the premium.

00:43:10.720 We don't get as much per barrel for ours as other nations do.

00:43:14.720 We don't get the West Texas price.

00:43:16.500 We get the Western Canadian one because we only have one customer and we get knocked

00:43:20.620 down on our price dramatically.

00:43:22.700 And this should have been resolved years and years ago, but we're still dragging our butts

00:43:26.460 on it.

00:43:26.680 So as the oil spikes up through the roof, yet again, we won't be able to fill that void

00:43:31.640 very effectively.

00:43:32.720 Actually, yeah, carry on, I guess we'll fill as much as we can.

00:43:38.800 If the other big story in the news is the hockey season strikes off and gets going.

00:43:43.460 Let's talk about virtue signaling.

00:43:44.780 Why not?

00:43:45.140 Right?

00:43:45.260 So I guess the rainbow pride tape, the NHL has said, uh, no more, not doing it.

00:43:53.100 Nobody can have it. 1.00

00:43:55.060 This, these stupid games, you remember, they're frigging hockey players. 1.00

00:43:58.820 I just want them watching play hockey. 1.00

00:44:00.360 I don't care about the rest of this stuff, but fine.

00:44:04.920 It has become an issue.

00:44:05.840 The problem is they always, the virtue signalers make everybody else virtue signal with them

00:44:10.520 and on their behalf.

00:44:11.700 If, you know, those remembering the old Seinfeld episode with Kramer, you don't want to wear

00:44:15.520 the ribbon.

00:44:15.860 You don't want to wear the ribbon.

00:44:16.580 You don't want to get on his case, but that's the truth of it.

00:44:19.860 I, of course, I went and put it out on X.

00:44:21.600 I said, why don't we try it?

00:44:23.660 Because right now you're banning everybody from showing anything now.

00:44:25.800 And before you were forcing everybody, you were forcing every player to wear pride stuff,

00:44:30.020 even if they didn't agree with it.

00:44:31.420 How about just letting the players choose for themselves?

00:44:34.680 How about that?

00:44:35.440 This player wants to put rainbow tape on his hockey stick.

00:44:38.980 Let him.

00:44:39.380 This one doesn't want to leave him alone.

00:44:41.620 He doesn't want to.

00:44:42.820 Is it really that complicated?

00:44:45.640 But it is when it's the mob and that's what it is. 0.98

00:44:47.780 Social justice mobs, virtue signaling clowns. 0.94

00:44:52.420 They don't want to reason with people. 0.98

00:44:54.300 They want to force people.

00:44:56.060 Guess what?

00:44:56.520 You force somebody to wear pride stuff.

00:44:58.380 What you probably end up doing is making them more bitter.

00:45:01.740 If they had an issue with LGBTQ people, that issue is only going to get worse.

00:45:07.360 Leave him alone.

00:45:08.620 But they can't.

00:45:09.260 They can't.

00:45:09.660 You didn't wear the ribbon.

00:45:10.380 You didn't wear the ribbon.

00:45:13.220 Let's see.

00:45:14.060 Other stuff we got going on.

00:45:15.300 I mean, in Alberta, there's an activist named Taylor McNally.

00:45:17.780 She's crazier than all get out. 1.00

00:45:19.940 She's on trial right now.

00:45:22.180 So I'm sure the standard report, whenever that comes about,

00:45:24.000 I think it's getting to the point of sentencing as she assaulted a police officer.

00:45:28.260 She has a long, long history of assaulting people. 1.00

00:45:30.640 She's a very violent person. 1.00

00:45:32.320 But it's funny.

00:45:32.800 Again, the left is silent on her because she's an activist for their causes.

00:45:37.380 But it's no less dangerous.

00:45:40.040 Assault is assault.

00:45:41.440 Either way, they're saying that she shouldn't be sentenced that harshly

00:45:44.260 because she was protesting against a police officer who had misbehaved.

00:45:47.400 She didn't assault the police officer who had assaulted somebody.

00:45:51.140 She assaulted a different police officer.

00:45:53.080 But this is lefty logic.

00:45:53.980 So if that officer misbehaved, I have the right to assault that officer over there.

00:45:57.520 It doesn't work that way, Taylor.

00:45:59.640 I hope they find her some help and get her medicated.

00:46:01.920 I've run across her at a couple of events before in Calgary and area.

00:46:06.160 And I tell you, we're going to see her in the news.

00:46:08.400 And it's going to be really bad one of these times soon.

00:46:11.020 Because she seems to be getting more and more violent every time she springs up.

00:46:14.500 So watch for that.

00:46:15.860 Watch for other things, guys.

00:46:16.860 As I said to Dave, we're covering things as fast and as hard as we can.

00:46:21.500 There's lots breaking.

00:46:22.440 It's constantly going on out there.

00:46:25.380 We're in a crazy world right now.

00:46:27.700 And we've got to stay on top of things.

00:46:29.880 And that's what we're about here at The Standard.

00:46:31.400 We do write about these.

00:46:32.340 I hope we find some lighter stuff to write about and for me to rant about in the future as well.

00:46:35.940 But today, yeah, it had to be dominated by this terrible war going on now in the Israel and area.

00:46:42.240 Either way, hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, guys.

00:46:45.340 Thank you for tuning in today.

00:46:48.060 Be sure to tune in to the pipeline a little later.

00:46:50.560 That's going to be on the same channels that this show airs on.
