Western Standard - Epstein： Put em’ all in the woodchipper

00:00:00.000 Good day and welcome, I'm Derek Fildebrandt, publisher of the Western Standard.

00:00:28.360 Today is February 4th, 2026, and you're watching The Pipeline.

00:00:34.080 I've got Nigel Hannaford is away this week.

00:00:38.740 He was the main speechwriter for Stephen Harper,

00:00:42.660 and so he's off paying tribute for the 20th anniversary of Stephen Harper becoming Prime Minister

00:00:47.280 at events throughout Ottawa, the unveiling of Orchard.

00:00:50.400 So he's not with us today.

00:00:51.820 In his place is the much older and much more distinguished David Veitschnik,

00:00:56.860 Western Standards Business and Energy

00:00:59.260 Reporter. Thanks for having me.

00:01:01.240 And on the usual roundup

00:01:03.320 Western Standards Senior News Editor

00:01:05.020 Dave Naylor. Hello, Derek.

00:01:09.420 Filling in for Corey Morgan though

00:01:11.260 we've got from an undisclosed

00:01:13.020 location in prison, he's not dead

00:01:15.140 Jeffrey Epstein.

00:01:17.360 Yeah.

00:01:19.840 You've hit a new low

00:01:21.000 on your intros, Derek.

00:01:23.500 You're alive!

00:01:24.460 I knew you didn't kill yourself

00:01:26.820 I wasn't even completely sure someone else

00:01:29.080 I knew you're alive

00:01:32.220 Exclusive

00:01:33.740 Western Standard Exclusive

00:01:35.380 With Jeffrey Epstein

00:01:36.860 We obviously can't tell you where he is

00:01:40.360 But yeah

00:01:42.620 This is great

00:01:44.040 It does kind of look a little bit like him

00:01:45.780 It does actually

00:01:47.420 The background kind of looks like Epstein's house too

00:01:49.320 Kind of the outside of it

00:01:50.520 The temple

00:01:52.720 The temple on the island

00:01:55.460 Oh no, we gave away where he is

00:01:57.600 He's at the island right now

00:01:59.660 Last man standing

00:02:00.520 Thank god

00:02:05.660 Our audience couldn't hear 0.99

00:02:07.480 The shit talk banter 0.99

00:02:09.320 Before we started rolling 0.99

00:02:10.740 It was dark

00:02:12.160 This is much more calm

00:02:15.520 And rational now 0.99

00:02:16.940 We're all going straight to hell 0.83

00:02:21.500 Right to the bottom, all the way to the basement 0.99

00:02:23.700 Okay

00:02:25.040 Well, speaking of Epstein, we're going to have to talk about the Epstein files.

00:02:30.140 I mean, one segment is not even not doing it justice.

00:02:35.160 But so we'll talk.

00:02:39.300 Maybe we'll talk about how we're trying to cover it.

00:02:41.480 The angles we're finding.

00:02:43.280 You know, we've got journalists.

00:02:45.900 Oh, he's on his desk right now.

00:02:47.200 But normally Jackson right behind us, Jackson Loy.

00:02:50.640 uh the way we're trying to cover it in canada and try and find some we're doing the kind of the uh

00:02:56.460 the insecure canadian thing where well what's the canadian angle on this well actually there

00:03:00.460 there are canadian angles and there's alberta angles um we've been picking up you know thanks

00:03:05.880 to the uh thanks to skynet we're able to go through everything uh you know there's three

00:03:11.640 million documents uh and and more to come but yeah anyway uh we'll try to make it interesting

00:03:18.580 I mean, there's so much for Epstein that is interesting,

00:03:20.580 but we'll try to add some additional value

00:03:22.180 that's not just stuff that you've already

00:03:24.680 seen already. Because I can't

00:03:26.820 stop. I can't

00:03:28.680 stop reading Epstein files.

00:03:30.200 There's a lot of slop.

00:03:32.940 There's a ton of slop out there.

00:03:35.080 Some

00:03:35.180 inaccurate,

00:03:38.580 out of context.

00:03:40.200 You don't need to sensationalize Epstein

00:03:42.480 stuff. It's

00:03:43.980 mind-blowing

00:03:46.100 without any sensationalization. So anyone

00:03:48.360 who's sensationalizing this stuff is just, uh, a click farmer and, uh, everyone's losing their

00:03:55.940 minds about Alberta independence. Uh, Thursday to Saturday, the conservative party of Canada was in

00:04:02.040 town in Calgary for its biannual national convention. Um, I, I, I couldn't walk more

00:04:10.480 than a few steps without someone wanting to talk to me saying, you know, people from outside

00:04:14.040 Alberta saying, what the hell

00:04:16.020 is going on? What the hell's going on

00:04:18.080 in Alberta? You guys are actually doing this.

00:04:19.780 How likely is this to happen? I'm like, yeah, it's happening.

00:04:23.160 Like,

00:04:24.420 successor? No? I don't

00:04:26.080 know. I couldn't tell you that. I can give you my

00:04:28.060 thoughts on the likeliness of the vote succeeding,

00:04:30.160 but we're definitely having a vote. Alberta's

00:04:31.960 headed to a referendum on independence.

00:04:33.980 It's happening.

00:04:36.640 Everyone's

00:04:37.080 around the country. They're talking about this.

00:04:40.500 And they just can't seem to believe it.

00:04:42.120 And it's broken the minds of some people.

00:04:43.920 guys like david eby uh calling everyone who's a nationalist treasonous which means if someone has 0.99

00:04:50.940 committed treason you actually need to kill them like we should be killing we should be killing 0.97

00:04:54.160 people who commit treason i think so at least uh so i ostensibly he's at a minimum calling for us 0.98

00:05:00.560 to be jailed if not killed uh anyway we're gonna talk about that um but as i said the uh federal

00:05:07.420 Conservative Convention, was in town.

00:05:10.220 We

00:05:10.380 had a

00:05:13.500 full crew of reporters on the ground

00:05:15.280 there. David,

00:05:17.440 you covered the speeches. I did.

00:05:19.600 Dave Naylor, you were

00:05:21.260 running the whole crew. We essentially moved the newsroom

00:05:23.480 a kilometer and a half east

00:05:25.260 down to the Stampede grounds where the convention was.

00:05:28.300 So it was a pretty busy

00:05:29.480 time. My job was mostly hobnobbing,

00:05:31.980 that kind of stuff.

00:05:33.840 I was sick of cheap

00:05:35.440 wine and beer uh by uh the second day but um poly of speech uh david um it was it was well received

00:05:44.940 yeah by uh more of the same basically that's the way i would sum it though it was more of the same

00:05:49.660 well that was kind of what i said before i was talking to some delegates the day after there's

00:05:52.860 kind of like yeah that was kind of what we expected to kind of the numbers as well he got

00:05:55.880 what it was at 87.4 percent approval for his review and basically everyone i talked to said

00:06:01.500 well that figures that's kind of what they were expecting not too big not too small above harper's

00:06:06.360 below danielle smith's um ucp leadership review a couple years back uh yeah yeah uh this is as

00:06:14.140 usual this basically sums it up perfectly really yeah dave uh it it ran to me as the perfect speech

00:06:21.120 of someone running for prime minister two years ago uh you know a year ago we're i guess headed

00:06:28.300 towards an election and you know trump is just upsetting apple cart doesn't quite put it right

00:06:34.020 uh but yeah he's just totally flipped canadian politics upside down the liberals are getting

00:06:39.380 are gaining ground for a big comeback which ultimately succeeds coming in just just slight

00:06:44.560 of a majority uh but a year and a half or two years ago people are talking about will you know

00:06:50.260 polyev has a chance of forming the biggest majority government of any prime minister in canadian

00:06:54.540 history. And the message I think he gave on the weekend to delegates was exactly that, except he

00:07:02.180 just didn't have the punching bag of Justin Trudeau. That was the only difference. And so,

00:07:06.660 and there's a lot less emphasis on Mark Carney because Mark Carney is, I mean, it's obviously

00:07:11.580 not great. I don't think he's very good for the West, but he's not, he doesn't have the term I

00:07:17.000 always use for Justin Trudeau, a punchable face. People don't look at Carney and just say, I hate

00:07:22.980 that guy's face is just not as hateable he hasn't had enough time yet but he's also just not as

00:07:27.780 hateable of a personality so other than trudeau like he was running for prime minister two years

00:07:33.580 ago i think at this weekend's convention he was i was just waiting for him to to finish with the

00:07:39.160 line that you know all canadians deserve a nice house on the safe street protected by our great

00:07:44.780 armed forces and a nice flag uh he didn't oh axe attacks stop the crime yeah he was less he was

00:07:53.680 less sound bitey you know putting a tag on anything or giving nicknames to people trying

00:07:59.780 to appear more statesman like yeah he did show uh showed emotion uh you know choked up when he

00:08:06.300 was talking about his uh autistic daughter speaking for the first time you know i you know

00:08:11.520 to choke back a tear so it was a it was a speech that went on too long 50 minutes uh it was a

00:08:18.640 speech that didn't cover any new topics it was a speech that i thought didn't cover the alberta

00:08:25.040 independence threat enough uh you know but at the end of the day it was all it was it was a good

00:08:32.880 speech from where he was at and then the delegates uh the delegates liked it uh uh and it ended up

00:08:40.720 up with 87.4%, but I was hoping for more. Yeah. Corey, let's talk about what he did not talk

00:08:50.180 about. The way I put it was I didn't disagree with really anything he said, for the most part at

00:08:56.660 least, but he didn't say what needed to be said. He very tangentially touched on that there's

00:09:05.320 independence movements in Quebec and Alberta now. That's a feeling of the Liberals. Okay,

00:09:11.400 But his message was more or less, elect me, everyone will like me, and then these problems go away.

00:09:18.080 You know, he said exactly what I expected on Alberta independence, which is,

00:09:21.660 I understand there's grievances, but me being elected ends those grievances overnight.

00:09:28.740 And that's not the case.

00:09:30.040 Do I think it takes away kind of the punching bag of having, you know,

00:09:33.060 an Ontario and Quebec-based Liberal government in Ottawa?

00:09:35.660 Yeah, it takes that away. That grievance is gone.

00:09:37.800 Um, but he didn't mention a single thing he would do other than pipelines, at least on paper, the liberals support pipelines now on paper, at least. Um, but, you know, he didn't say like an equalization, you know what? I'm not going to give you everything you want. We're not going to get rid of it, but you know, we're going to make equalization more fair.

00:09:57.080 um you know he didn't talk about you know you're hugely underrepresented in the house of commons

00:10:03.380 and wildly underrepresented in the senate that's something we should address no no um

00:10:10.720 no solutions presented at all other than these problems go away simply by having me in the prime

00:10:17.720 minister's chair um he didn't talk about trump really um and i don't actually know how he should

00:10:25.840 talk about trump in a way that's politically smart a significant number of conservatives in

00:10:29.460 canada back trump um and don't take kindly to criticism of him but at the same time a lot of

00:10:36.680 people not just kind of elbows up boomer liberals a lot of people are like well yeah well the guy's

00:10:41.780 threatening to annex us we have to have a robust response how do you react to him i don't know how

00:10:46.360 we should respond but he has still not really found his voice about how to respond to trump

00:10:51.840 And then the one of the issues that's animating huge numbers of Canadians well beyond even just a conservative base now is immigration. Not a word, at least that I can remember about that, but not a word. Yet, like voters like me are not even going to consider voting for a party that's not hardline on this, let alone ignores the problem's existence.

00:11:12.080 So those are kind of the big things, Trump, independence, and immigration, where he either very lightly glazed over it or didn't touch it at all.

00:11:22.540 Yeah, and David in the Middle wrote a really good summary of it in the Western Standard recently, I read it, and I watched it streaming here from my undisclosed location down in the south here, and it was mushy.

00:11:35.660 It was just more of the same. It really was. I think that's what a lot of the people's interpretation of it is.

00:11:41.220 I mean, this was his chance to give a large address that a lot of Canadians are going to watch or listen to or get bites out of, at least, to say, well, what am I going to do that's different than what I offered in an election year ago or is different than what Carney's offering today?

00:11:58.000 And he came up short.

00:11:59.740 He carefully avoided any hot-button issues.

00:12:03.760 You know, that's that risk that comes with conservative leadership.

00:12:06.600 It continues to happen.

00:12:08.000 and they want to out-liberal the Liberals,

00:12:09.720 and maybe eventually they'll win power that way.

00:12:12.220 But when it comes to, for example,

00:12:14.260 dodging on the Alberta independence issue,

00:12:16.460 he did what Conservatives typically do with Alberta.

00:12:19.660 The Liberals ignore us and don't care about us,

00:12:22.080 but the Conservatives take us for granted.

00:12:24.320 I mean, they just assume.

00:12:25.180 So we don't have to speak to the Albertans

00:12:27.140 because they're going to vote for us anyway.

00:12:30.180 And I think perhaps some of those strategies

00:12:32.280 are better understand that those resources

00:12:34.440 and focus are now going in a completely different direction

00:12:37.680 than the federal conservatives, it just wasn't what anybody would want it to be.

00:12:44.660 I mean, he got his support levels were high, as everybody kind of expected.

00:12:49.560 But I think people want to see somebody who's showing a change in direction,

00:12:54.360 some vision to change things and present it so Canadians want to embrace that change

00:13:00.100 so that an election can be won.

00:13:02.560 And I just didn't see any of that.

00:13:04.080 I just saw a more practiced Pierre Polyev from a year ago, but nothing new on the table.

00:13:10.060 And I don't think it's going to bode well for the Conservatives, who are already looking pretty bleak in the polls right now.

00:13:16.800 Did he talk about ending the CBC funding during the speech?

00:13:21.040 No.

00:13:21.380 Don't recall that at all, no.

00:13:22.560 All right.

00:13:22.920 So for me, that is the biggest sign yet.

00:13:27.360 Polyev's only going to get worse.

00:13:28.720 um when he ran for the federal conservative leadership uh at every rally he says and we're

00:13:35.780 going to defund the cbc and you know you know just imagine you know a family pulling up in a u-haul

00:13:42.060 and the former toronto downtown headquarters of the cbc are moving families in you know it's kind

00:13:46.540 of a joke they all kind of play on policy you know affordable housing and we're just going to

00:13:49.880 house people in the former cbc buildings he did it at every stop and it was always always the

00:13:56.180 biggest applause line by far. And to my surprise, and to Polyev's credit, he kept saying it after

00:14:02.720 he had the leadership. Normally, everyone remember Aaron O'Toole? Oh, I'm true blue,

00:14:06.720 Mr. Conservative. During the leadership, the instant he had it, he goes left of Trudeau

00:14:11.360 on a number of issues. Polyev didn't backtrack after he had the leadership. He doubled down

00:14:18.080 and was good. And the conservative numbers went up to a historic high, just the liberal numbers

00:14:22.100 ended up higher because the NDP disappeared from the earth um he no longer talks about it he backed

00:14:28.480 away from his CBC promise at the end of the campaign hoping it would buy him some goodwill

00:14:32.320 from the CBC spoiler it did not he backed away from his promise to get rid of the media subsidies

00:14:37.440 hoping it would buy him some goodwill with the legacy media it did not but he is not I thought

00:14:44.000 well it's you know it's a conservative crowd he's gotta mention it like that's that's what

00:14:48.260 everyone loves. He didn't mention it. I think the CBC pledge is dead. And I think that's a sign that

00:14:54.960 he's, uh, he's going to take the lesson that the legacy media wants him to take, which is

00:15:01.040 for you to win, you're going to have to be a lot less conservative. You're going to have to be less

00:15:05.080 of a Rau Rau Berta guy. Um, you're going to have to become more, more liberal. Maybe that works,

00:15:11.920 But it didn't work for Aaron O'Toole.

00:15:15.040 It didn't work when, to a lesser extent, Andrew Scheer tried it.

00:15:21.800 Didn't work.

00:15:23.280 You know, Stephen Harper was pretty mushy by the end of his prime ministership.

00:15:27.340 Didn't work for him.

00:15:29.080 Didn't work for Jason Kenney.

00:15:30.720 Like, this does not work.

00:15:32.400 But, yeah, I take that as a sign that Paliyev, he's lost his mojo.

00:15:38.540 I don't.

00:15:40.260 I hope I'm wrong.

00:15:41.180 but I don't think we're going to

00:15:42.760 I think we have seen the best Paulio

00:15:44.600 I think Paulio if we see from here on out is not going to be as good

00:15:47.320 I'd 100% agree on that

00:15:49.180 like you were saying before he's not bringing anything new

00:15:51.520 so how does he expect to win this time again

00:15:53.640 trying to be a softer

00:15:56.600 cuddlier version of the one last time

00:15:59.740 that playbook has been tried by almost every conservative

00:16:03.360 at some point

00:16:04.320 it very rarely works

00:16:06.280 and actually in modern Canada

00:16:07.720 it never works

00:16:09.800 it like name one recently who for who that's worked i guess doug ford i guess but there's

00:16:17.020 like no point to his premiership at all like you may as well just have the liberals you may as well

00:16:21.520 just have the ndp like it's so indistinguishable so yeah the party's in power but to what end

00:16:26.040 we would uh be remiss not talking about another important speech on the weekend

00:16:31.540 and that was of premier daniel smith uh she actually gave a quite short speech i thought

00:16:37.780 Only 10 minutes.

00:16:40.060 Hit on all the hard stuff.

00:16:42.980 Ran through the playbook of the last 10 years of Justin Trudeau and why Albertans are upset.

00:16:52.400 But she really didn't specifically phrase it in an independence way.

00:16:56.620 She didn't mention it all?

00:16:57.400 She didn't mention independence at all.

00:16:59.320 And I thought she missed a good opportunity there too.

00:17:02.580 Because she was being shown live all across Canada.

00:17:05.300 She missed an opportunity there to address the situation.

00:17:10.000 Yeah.

00:17:10.440 I thought it was funny.

00:17:11.480 During her speech, she talked about some of the legislation

00:17:13.680 her government's passed around parental rights 0.54

00:17:15.340 and pushing back against trans madness. 0.90

00:17:17.980 Like, hey, boys don't get to play against girls in sports anymore.

00:17:20.960 And then the next day, the Conservatives narrowly defeated

00:17:24.540 a policy proposal on parental rights against trans madness. 0.93

00:17:29.200 Yep.

00:17:29.540 Because they need a double majority,

00:17:30.600 a slim majority numerically voted

00:17:32.660 for the policy

00:17:34.120 parental rights against trans madness 1.00

00:17:36.520 but they need a double majority, they also need a majority

00:17:38.640 of provinces, and so I guess

00:17:39.880 conservatives in Prince Edward Island really

00:17:42.560 love boys playing against

00:17:44.520 girls in sports or something, I'm picking on Prince Edward

00:17:46.580 Island, I don't know if it was you, I'm just guessing

00:17:48.660 it was you, Prince

00:17:50.620 Edward Island, here's the camera

00:17:52.600 hey, stop moving the camera

00:17:54.240 Prince Edward Island 0.78

00:17:56.400 we're, you're a creepy

00:17:58.620 Island. I think Jeffrey Epstein,

00:18:01.260 who's on our show here, is actually

00:18:02.720 coming to us from Prince Edward Island. That's

00:18:04.460 where Jeffrey Epstein's moved.

00:18:07.380 Okay.

00:18:08.280 Nobody thinks but look at.

00:18:10.560 No one will suspect it.

00:18:14.120 Actually,

00:18:14.520 what's that? Sable Island or something? It's a part

00:18:16.640 of France right off the coast of Nova Scotia

00:18:18.600 or something. Michelin and

00:18:20.720 Saint-Pierre.

00:18:22.740 And there's one called Sable

00:18:24.640 Island. It's like full of horses for some weird

00:18:26.740 reason i don't understand i don't know i'd be looking around there for weird temples in cory

00:18:31.620 okay anyway that was uh

00:18:35.860 that was my uh diversion um okay so uh we touched on a bit independence um

00:18:44.560 uh the place is full of people it's funny that alberta conservative like ucp conventions are

00:18:50.580 actually bigger than national conservative conventions in alberta but they have a limited

00:18:54.960 the number of delegates. So it's a different system.

00:18:56.880 Whereas in Alberta, you have a party membership. You register.

00:18:59.120 You go. There's no limit.

00:19:02.280 I

00:19:02.560 couldn't walk five feet

00:19:05.100 without

00:19:06.140 someone I

00:19:09.000 know or knows me or something

00:19:10.860 from outside Alberta

00:19:12.800 stopping me.

00:19:14.280 What the hell is going on?

00:19:16.780 This is supposed to be like

00:19:18.500 a thing you guys just say over beers

00:19:20.880 when you're kind of pissed off.

00:19:22.080 You're not supposed to do it.

00:19:23.700 you guys are doing this

00:19:25.980 really? Yeah.

00:19:27.680 This is a real thing. They're going to get

00:19:29.900 the signatures very easily.

00:19:31.520 They're going to smash the threshold almost surely.

00:19:35.180 We're going to have

00:19:35.860 a referendum.

00:19:37.380 I'd generally

00:19:40.160 say I think we got a one in three shot

00:19:41.920 of success. The good money is

00:19:43.860 not on a successful

00:19:45.220 independence vote.

00:19:47.760 But there's a real fighting chance

00:19:49.420 of winning.

00:19:51.660 Support levels, mid-30s,

00:19:53.700 The Western Standard is actually we're putting a poll on the field later today on this.

00:19:58.200 It's coming from a similar position of starting where they started in Quebec for the 95 referendum.

00:20:02.440 It's a similar position where they started in the UK for Brexit.

00:20:06.400 Both of those were not supposed to be successful or close.

00:20:09.960 So who knows?

00:20:12.000 But yeah, everyone's talking about it.

00:20:15.320 DC Premier David Eby, I think, really took the cake.

00:20:19.280 He said this is treasonous.

00:20:20.540 These people have committed treason.

00:20:21.760 not even a vague definition of treason

00:20:25.100 this didn't even

00:20:26.260 fit vague definitions of treason

00:20:29.380 the media focused on the treason

00:20:31.240 line though, but I thought his

00:20:33.100 other comments immediately

00:20:34.620 following it were more revealing

00:20:36.760 he said, they don't want to be in Canada

00:20:39.300 okay, I'll grant you

00:20:40.400 but they don't want to be in Alberta

00:20:42.360 so Alberta nationalists don't want to be in Alberta

00:20:45.240 and they're not Albertans

00:20:46.800 I don't know

00:20:48.860 I don't agree with the Quebec nationalists

00:20:51.320 but I'm pretty sure they're Quebecers,

00:20:53.020 and I'm pretty sure they want to be in Quebec.

00:20:55.320 They just don't want Quebec in Canada.

00:20:57.220 You know, the Scottish nationalists,

00:20:59.660 I'm pretty sure they're Scots.

00:21:01.980 Actually, some of them are not.

00:21:04.440 That's a different topic.

00:21:06.240 But the bulk of them are Scots, 0.95

00:21:08.320 and they want to be in Scotland.

00:21:10.520 It was madness.

00:21:13.940 Corey, David Eby, I guess,

00:21:17.460 the national media loved it, though.

00:21:19.880 He was their darling. Some of them, you know, you'd have them nodding along. Yes, it is treason.

00:21:26.420 Others think, well, maybe it's not technically treason, but these guys are treasonous.

00:21:29.460 And David E.B. is Captain Canada. Doug Ford standing up.

00:21:33.440 Danielle Smith needs to just avow these people. These people are anti-Canadian. They're so bad. 1.00

00:21:40.760 Does the intervention... Oh, Stephen Gilbeau saying, can you imagine if the outrage in Anglo-Canada,

00:21:48.300 if a Quebecer had talked to the French government about independence.

00:21:54.540 For those who are, you know, maybe younger than even me,

00:22:00.700 every independence movement in Quebec has always talked to France.

00:22:05.940 Charles de Gaulle, the president of France, came to Quebec and famously said,

00:22:10.420 Vive Québec, Livre, Jacques Perizeau, René Levesque, Lucien Bouchard,

00:22:17.480 All of these guys regularly met with the French government, seeking their recognition in the event of a successful yes vote, etc.

00:22:25.040 So, Corey, how helpful is Stephen Gilboa, Doug Ford, and David Eby to Alberta nationalists right now?

00:22:33.420 Oh, they're brilliant.

00:22:34.740 You know, you couldn't ask for anything more as an independence advocate than outsiders being unreasonable, labeling you.

00:22:44.200 even people, well, you know, they were thinking about it, you're just considering it, but then

00:22:47.620 you hear that vitriol, that attitude, that dismissiveness, that's pushing people over

00:22:53.940 to the yes side. Keep it up. I mean, they're highlighting, as you pointed out, the double

00:22:58.360 standard. I'm sure there were probably a handful of people called Quebecers traitors when their

00:23:02.560 independence movements were going, but nothing like what we're seeing today. Like they are,

00:23:07.360 as you said, they're losing their minds. They're coming out of the woodworks.

00:23:10.140 I think it's also just because a bunch of them are actually realizing, holy crap, this is real. 0.96

00:23:17.840 This isn't just a handful of rednecks, though they're trying to dismiss it as such.

00:23:22.980 It's not something that's just going to come and fade away like the Wexit movement did a few years ago.

00:23:27.640 No, this came in, the APP, the Alberta Prosperity Project, really sort of organized and have maintained the momentum of this thing.

00:23:35.640 And we're actually heading to a referendum.

00:23:38.920 and these guys don't know how to respond to it so as an advocate who wants to see a yes vote hey

00:23:43.900 please doug please keep telling albertans what they should think and please keep pushing

00:23:48.680 our premier around because that's what we want to see as an ontarian feeling that he should tell

00:23:54.480 our elected leadership what they should do that's going to help and oh mr eby by all means keep

00:24:00.800 blockading our products from the west coast and accusing us of high crimes that call for

00:24:05.960 executions. I don't think

00:24:07.920 they understand the consequences

00:24:09.280 of what their reaction and response

00:24:11.880 to this is, but

00:24:13.600 anybody who wants independence,

00:24:15.740 carry on, guys. You are not doing a good

00:24:17.900 job for federalism. I'll

00:24:19.840 certainly say that.

00:24:22.320 I want to pull this

00:24:23.740 tweet up on the screen here.

00:24:25.740 This is from Andrew Coyne, columnist with

00:24:27.920 the Golden Mail.

00:24:29.620 You have a right to leave the country. You don't have

00:24:31.900 a right to take a piece of it with you.

00:24:33.920 You can hold whatever votes you like, but you

00:24:35.720 can vote to help yourself to something that isn't yours. All the territory of Canada belongs to all

00:24:41.340 of Canada. Canada's future can only be decided by Canadians as a whole, not by groups within it,

00:24:45.700 however desperate or fanatical, which they are pretty much by definition to think that the only

00:24:50.940 solution to your grievance is real or imagined is to destroy one of the most successful countries

00:24:54.460 that ever existed. Marks you as an extremist. Okay. Andrew Coyne, as we'll see, as you can see

00:25:01.300 from his tweet has uh the by uh the pictures or some emojis of certain flags in his bio

00:25:09.000 ukraine israel georgia and i'm not 100 positive last one it might be moldova

00:25:17.400 or is it romania like romania it might be romania or something okay

00:25:22.000 two of those flags represent countries that's separated from another country

00:25:29.440 uh ukraine was a part of the russian empire since i don't know catherine the great a millennia i

00:25:38.020 think it was a thousand years almost it depends how you're defining it uh if you go by kiev and

00:25:41.580 russ is the nucleus over that was what it was it's about a thousand if you're going but kiev and russ

00:25:47.520 state is the beginning uh you're having a bit of a history lesson here if you're saying kiev and

00:25:51.200 russ was kind of the beginning of russia or actually russia is started in ukraine um you

00:25:56.740 Kiev, if you're going from the Russian Empire, the Tsars, well, then that maybe goes kind of

00:26:04.520 when it was reconquered from the Turks by Catherine the Great, if I'm getting that right.

00:26:09.240 And it's separated from the Soviet Union. People say, well, Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.

00:26:13.180 Yes, because everyone's separated from the Soviet Union. Georgia separated from the Soviet Union.

00:26:20.760 And Ukraine is culturally very similar to Russia. It's different, but it's culturally

00:26:26.200 very similar, particularly in the

00:26:28.400 eastern side of the country, and parts

00:26:30.460 of the west near Odessa.

00:26:32.920 Romania, okay, 0.93

00:26:34.420 didn't separate, but it

00:26:36.440 was carved up from other kingdoms,

00:26:38.540 other empires. Half of it came

00:26:40.340 from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

00:26:42.640 And Israel, 0.62

00:26:44.160 partitioned out of

00:26:46.640 the British Empire's Palestinian 0.99

00:26:48.360 mandate. Not a single one of

00:26:50.460 these countries just

00:26:52.400 always existed on its own. They

00:26:54.260 separated in one form or another to form their modern states. End of rant. I'm just going to put

00:27:03.960 it to you. How stupid are these people? You can say Alberta independence is a bad idea, but just 1.00

00:27:09.900 say every state is, you know, there for all time. New states emerging from old states is illegitimate

00:27:19.020 and cannot happen fine but the only way to do that is brute military force and ukraine would 0.71

00:27:26.260 have left russia or the soviet union a lot earlier if it hadn't been brute military force

00:27:31.900 ukraine i think had only been nominally independent for like a few months after russia's surrender

00:27:38.100 uh during the first world war before the soviet union reconquered it like so it was kind of

00:27:43.520 quasi-independent for like a few

00:27:45.380 months.

00:27:47.220 It had never been an independent country in its history

00:27:49.520 until the fall of the Soviet Union. I'm glad

00:27:51.500 it's independent. It's a good thing.

00:27:53.620 But, I mean...

00:27:57.360 You know,

00:27:57.660 there's an easy way for you to lower your

00:27:59.440 blood pressure. And let's just block

00:28:01.420 Andrew Klein. No!

00:28:03.260 No, I love it. I love this shit. 1.00

00:28:05.540 But you put those flags 1.00

00:28:07.320 in your bio, and then you have the

00:28:09.320 nerve to say

00:28:10.820 no one's ever allowed to leave your country.

00:28:13.080 Is Canada the only country you're not allowed to leave?

00:28:16.600 America itself left another country.

00:28:19.880 Arguably, Canada left Britain.

00:28:22.680 You know?

00:28:23.820 The Statute of Westminster.

00:28:25.320 So, anyway.

00:28:27.840 Someone else take up the rant from there. 0.98

00:28:29.400 I have no question to put to anyone. 0.99

00:28:31.060 I just had to point out how dumb this is. 0.98

00:28:33.980 From smart people. 1.00

00:28:35.800 Andrew Coyne's not a stupid person. 0.93

00:28:37.780 He's a very smart guy. 1.00

00:28:39.500 But God, they say some dumb shit. 1.00

00:28:41.180 It was interesting just to see the reaction of the national media after Eby's comment. 1.00

00:28:48.480 I mean, let's face it.

00:28:49.180 I mean, Eby's run British Columbia into the ground, but the national media picked it up, picked up on it and ran for it throughout the entire weekend.

00:28:59.740 Independence issues led CBC, CTV, Global, all throughout the Tory leadership campaign.

00:29:08.800 uh the certainly the chatter in the media room amongst all the out-of-town journalists was

00:29:14.500 was alberta independence so i but i think this was the weekend they finally realized hey something's

00:29:20.220 up yeah something's up in alberta and we better start keeping an eye on it uh so that's not a bad

00:29:26.460 thing we'll uh we'll see how the national media covers so much for a fringe minority fringe

00:29:31.580 minority that out anymore i was talking about yeah yeah i did find out like all the out-of-town

00:29:35.860 reporters they're like like they're trying to get a sense because like they're not sure should they

00:29:41.620 cover this like is this a nothing burger french thing and they're all of a sudden they're all like

00:29:46.160 how serious is this i'm like it's look for everyone with an alberta badge here

00:29:52.020 get a couple beers in them and ask them how they're voting yeah sometimes it doesn't even

00:29:58.100 take any beer no yeah yeah well i get a couple beers in them and they'll tell you you know let's

00:30:04.140 start shooting pistols in the air about it you know but uh yeah anyway it's very much it says a

00:30:09.640 lot though about people like coin as you said he's smart he's always been a pompous sort of windbag 0.63

00:30:15.420 but he's not a fool and they're caught flat-footed they don't know how to respond to this they're

00:30:20.820 they're responding emotionally and without thought i'm just wondering if this is going to evolve i

00:30:26.260 noticed andrew leach who is hardly a conservative independence type supporter even gently corrected

00:30:32.540 somebody on that treason thing saying no and showed the law like whatever you may think you

00:30:37.100 know it's it's it's in poor taste or whatever visiting other countries like that but it's not

00:30:41.280 treason by definition legally or or or otherwise but these uh pundits they really i think all their

00:30:50.440 lives just never took alberta seriously never thought there would ever be a serious movement

00:30:54.880 of those you know the colonies out there in alberta to want to break away and now that they

00:31:00.640 see it's real it's really got them gobsmacked and they just their better reaction would have been

00:31:05.400 to do nothing and think about it for a little while first but thanks to the beauty of x guys

00:31:10.180 like coin can just spit their thoughts out as soon as they pop into their head and it's not

00:31:14.180 doing andrew any favors but it's certainly again doing the independence movement wonders

00:31:18.180 cool i've never spit thoughts out onto twitter as soon as it comes in at all i'm just i'm just

00:31:23.940 worried i'll be honest because derek's really wound up now and we haven't even got to abstain

00:31:28.300 that's true actually holy cow buckle up everybody i was just looking at my show notes i was like oh

00:31:34.360 shit we're just getting started okay epstein put them all in the wood chipper i was 0.90

00:31:40.760 you can there's so many rabbit holes to go down and so many of them lead to real 0.98

00:31:47.900 things some of them are going to lead to some crazy stuff uh understand we sell their stuff

00:31:54.080 like, Bale, you know, the

00:31:55.820 kind of a demon god from

00:31:57.980 Mestral Team, yeah. Bale Ball, 0.76

00:31:59.880 that's how you pronounce them. That actually was

00:32:02.000 like a weird copy error that actually was supposed

00:32:04.000 to say bank number, so I don't think

00:32:06.020 that's actually one. Yeah, there's a lot of misinformation.

00:32:08.660 Yeah, well, that one I can at least understand

00:32:10.240 because there was a, that's like a scanning issue.

00:32:12.140 The original document does not show that, but that is

00:32:14.020 what was released, so I kind of get

00:32:16.000 why people went down that rabbit hole.

00:32:18.560 But guys, there are so

00:32:19.880 many real rabbit

00:32:22.200 holes here. There's just

00:32:23.540 nowhere to begin my general thought though is like 0.99

00:32:27.700 we are governed by a bunch of evil pedophiles like it's true i okay uh here i'll switch you 0.98

00:32:38.560 this camera for a second to a lot of you i owe you an apology for dismissing you as crazy 0.97

00:32:45.460 conspiracy theorists uh my time from the community taxpayers federation my time in politics six

00:32:53.320 years of the western standard a lot of you i've called batshit crazy and some of you are some of 0.80

00:32:58.960 you are definitely batshit crazy but a lot of you just came across as crazy because what you were 0.96

00:33:04.860 saying was crazy but it's true it's freaking real it's freaking real it was way more evil 0.99

00:33:14.120 it was way more maniacal than i could have possibly thought and i am a pretty cynical guy

00:33:19.200 much of the time at least um like i kind of half jokingly thought we need like a great terror like 0.89

00:33:27.720 the french revolution we're just like the the royals and aristocrats we chop all their heads 0.98

00:33:33.220 off but you know because they're pedophiles the wood chipper is more appropriate so instead of 0.98

00:33:36.920 guillotines in the public square we just throw them all into wood chippers um i'm joking but 0.94

00:33:43.820 i'm not sure how what the hell do we do like the whole governing elite of america uh notably

00:33:51.420 we're not cool enough we're all kind of elon musk in canada we're cool enough to be invited

00:33:55.800 to epstein island there was only a few guys mentioned uh there was very little canadians

00:34:01.380 actually found no trudeau was there yeah yeah oh i was gonna say something but i'll get sued

00:34:08.040 uh but but he's been a teacher so oh uh i'm not why don't we talk about some of the stuff

00:34:17.160 the stories that we've written yeah we've got repeated mentions of calgary and edmonton uh when

00:34:24.760 uh epstein asks a guy where are you i'm in calgary is it fun no definitely not uh there's uh that's

00:34:33.460 the worst thing epstein's done is slay cows like we're not fun at all and in all seriousness it's

00:34:40.220 likely to cost british prime minister keir starmer his job this is all over a guy called peter

00:34:45.620 mandelson who is a good friend of epstein who epstein gave 75 000 to while mandelson was a

00:34:53.120 labor government mp now the question is did he not even an also also a cabinet minister

00:35:00.200 The question now under police investigation in England is, did Mandelson give Epstein secret economic insights?

00:35:10.400 So, Starmer then appoints him U.S. ambassador, knowing full well his connection to Epstein.

00:35:18.320 Andy Starmer had to admit that today in the British House of Commons.

00:35:22.600 He is under immense pressure to resign.

00:35:24.820 uh another story today uh they found evidence from a uh stripper in uh rachel strip club in

00:35:34.020 florida palm beach palm beach florida it looks like a really nice establishment it's got a steak

00:35:38.280 steakhouse next to it so we have to look at look up this stuff you know it's part of the research

00:35:42.560 oh we i said a reporter we could we could yeah but this uh this triple this stripper from uh 1.00

00:35:48.620 Rachel's uh uh strip show uh was hired by Epstein to go to a party in his house in Palm Beach 0.95

00:35:55.480 she said she she for ten thousand dollars she did a dance with him and Prince Andrew and then

00:36:02.320 had a threesome with Prince Andrew and uh uh Epstein so uh Prince Andrew's paid a big cost

00:36:09.560 he's no longer Prince Andrew he's Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and he's been kicked out of

00:36:13.940 his castle house and he's living in a farm lodge now in sandringham so he and starmer are going to

00:36:21.220 face huge consequences what chipper what chipper we found a very disturbing note from a renowned

00:36:27.620 biologist to epstein talking about uh uh child castration and turning uh young boys into quote

00:36:35.700 feminine men as young as three as young as three i mean you're you're very you're quite right this

00:36:42.340 stuff is just just very very dark and there's no end to it i mean you could be a reporter and spend

00:36:48.820 the next year uh coming up with it what is not in doubt anymore is ebstein's uh influence with

00:36:56.420 uh a high level of governments across the world he's claimed he's assumed to be a massad agent

00:37:04.340 he's also apparently a kgb agent that one is almost certainly misinformation throw us off

00:37:11.380 the trail i don't think anyone's actually believing that one that's that's what they're

00:37:14.420 trying to they're that's the kind of shiny thing they're throwing over here now to get us

00:37:19.940 yeah it looks like trump's gonna bomb the hell out of the rant to try and get people distracted

00:37:24.420 uh but uh you know jackson behind us he will not get distracted he will be continuing going

00:37:30.180 down the rabbit holes there he is right right oh you just blocked him here there we go there

00:37:34.660 he is there he is oh oh he's not eating noodles um yeah yeah uh

00:37:45.700 oh let's go to jeffrey epstein uh what do you what do you have to say for yourself

00:37:51.860 i'm just uh floored with uh how much of the the records of uh my doings and uh prolific they are

00:37:59.380 uh you know yes aside for the joking aside like seriously the amount of data it's such a dump and

00:38:06.580 how it's only half it's only half yeah oh yeah it was with people in power i mean it wasn't a

00:38:14.900 conspiracy i think not everybody he associated with necessarily did misdeeds but boy you just

00:38:20.260 don't want to be on any list this guy had anything to do with and it seems as if he crossed paths

00:38:25.620 with every powerful business and political leader

00:38:28.640 in the world multiple times.

00:38:31.040 Dave was mentioning Mandelson and the stuff in it.

00:38:34.060 I mean, he was mentioned in the files, what, 5,600 times.

00:38:38.080 That's just one guy, one association.

00:38:41.720 I mean, the documentation of all of this too,

00:38:45.520 which again, lends credibility to maybe he was working

00:38:48.380 for another interest to hold leverage

00:38:50.700 over a lot of powerful people.

00:38:53.260 we're and i'm like you derek i kind of dismiss the conspiracy theorists but

00:38:58.420 this isn't a conspiracy anymore it's right there and it's clear we're just seeing the tip of the

00:39:03.060 iceberg i'm afraid we're going to be talking about this again well and the thing is it

00:39:08.580 it seems to confirm a variety of otherwise more or less un unconfirmed conspiracy theories like

00:39:16.500 the whole pizza gate thing i always thought was totally not but i too i have to admit like i'm not

00:39:22.180 very attracted to conspiracy theories you know it the kind of person who is attracted to them is

00:39:27.820 often just kind of weird and i'm just like but like there's a lot of talk about pizza yeah and

00:39:34.520 grape uh grape juice or something and ice cream and and certain kinds of cheeses and they're

00:39:41.260 clearly not talking about pizza and grape and ice cream like they're very clearly talking in code

00:39:46.140 so like you know i'm not gonna endorse the pizza gate thing because i'm sure a bunch of it's crazy

00:39:51.520 as you know any kind of group chat everyone's following their things there's going to be crazy

00:39:56.620 people but some of the broad outlines it would have clearly some people use pizza as a code for

00:40:02.740 something at a minimum that's a thing um and and we only have half the dump there's enough so we've

00:40:11.380 got three million documents there's another three million to come and they're still being reviewed

00:40:15.720 by the fbi uh for appropriate you know what's appropriate to redact or not which means

00:40:21.720 probably in all probability the second half is way more explosive than the first half

00:40:28.440 you know and there's been stuff with redactions where simple logical searches have been able to

00:40:35.240 figure out more or less who some people are there was one email uh from someone the sender was

00:40:40.600 redacted and says hey uh jord enjoyed the torture video or something yeah um uh yeah and then it's

00:40:49.000 like uh epstein's like you know when are you going to be here he says i'm in china right now but i'll

00:40:54.040 be in washington or new york or something uh washington uh in two weeks it turns out at that

00:40:59.480 exact time that's being written benjamin yahoo was in china and two weeks later he was in washington

00:41:07.240 that's not conclusively him

00:41:09.660 but it was him

00:41:11.900 it was him

00:41:12.860 so sometimes these things are redacted

00:41:15.280 but the internet is just

00:41:17.260 nuclear right now

00:41:19.120 people and the power of AI

00:41:20.760 be like okay search this search this

00:41:22.260 and you can tie all these things together

00:41:23.620 in a way that would normally take maybe weeks to figure that out

00:41:26.320 like you know if this was 20 years ago

00:41:27.500 it'd take you at least a week to get travel logs

00:41:30.620 pull up newspaper clippings from China and Washington

00:41:32.940 that'd be a huge drop

00:41:34.100 you could do it in 20 seconds now

00:41:35.560 um well let's just remember donald trump and certain influencers in american politics saying

00:41:42.620 there are no epstein files yeah this is a nothing burger there's nothing here i'm gonna hurt the

00:41:48.440 feelings of some of our trump lovers on the show but i'm sorry he lied like so obviously lied he

00:41:56.680 he don't protested way too much you know everyone who wants to see this is uh is against me you're

00:42:02.860 all working for the Democrats. You're a left wing. No, you promised to release this. We're

00:42:08.580 going to release this. It's on Pam Bondi's desk. It's going to come out anytime now. Oh, what do

00:42:12.460 you mean? There are no files. And then now this has been a fight that people like Marjorie Taylor

00:42:17.860 Green, Thomas Massey have pursued doggedly, pretty much toasted their political careers to achieve,

00:42:24.260 but they have now done, I was talking to someone yesterday who has always talked so dismissively

00:42:30.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene. I have to admit, I kind of had to

00:42:32.000 for a long time. Ah, she's nuts 1.00

00:42:34.020 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:42:36.420 But she has done such

00:42:37.860 a service to the world and the American public.

00:42:40.220 But her political career is

00:42:41.900 apparently over because of this.

00:42:46.440 Everybody's lied.

00:42:47.620 I find it funny that Derek says he's not a 0.58

00:42:49.800 conspiracy theorist. I know.

00:42:51.100 You know, I am.

00:42:52.640 You remember as every single new hire

00:42:55.260 for the Western Standard has to

00:42:57.100 go through the history of Waco.

00:43:00.000 before they're allowed to sit at their desk

00:43:04.100 because Derek is so conspiracy-minded about that.

00:43:07.340 But two interesting news things today.

00:43:10.960 Bill Gates in Australia was interviewed down there

00:43:15.160 by Australian media, and he apologized.

00:43:17.700 He said he felt foolish for his friendship

00:43:21.720 with Jeffrey Epstein.

00:43:23.300 He says he never went to the island, just went for dinner.

00:43:25.660 And he says in those emails about him getting...

00:43:28.340 The STDs from a restaurant.

00:43:29.740 he said they must have written that to himself ah yeah but i mean there was it was enough that that

00:43:35.500 ended their marriage his wife his ex-wife uh i think it's melinda uh was was has been giving

00:43:41.100 some interviews saying his relationship with epstein killed the marriage and i hadn't seen

00:43:46.140 that one end of the month mr and mrs clinton testifying on the epstein files in washington dc

00:43:55.740 that is going to be what people are under on if they make it they're alive that's going to be

00:44:00.060 must see tv and i don't see them suiciding themselves

00:44:04.780 probably not i wouldn't think you never know accidents happen even odds on that one maybe i

00:44:10.060 don't know let's go over where were they going what oh enough i'm just scheduling myself okay

00:44:19.900 yeah uh god that's gonna be good that's gonna be good oh you know what but you know

00:44:25.420 they're trained they might just literally plead the fifth to everything like probably would what

00:44:28.620 do you do like everything is just pure radiation from this like you don't

00:44:40.300 degrees of separation you're still getting burned but none of these people are going to jail

00:44:44.460 to this day only one person has done time for these men abusing these girls and that was a

00:44:50.940 a woman to like gillay maxwell not a single man has done time let alone gone into the wood chipper 1.00

00:44:57.060 for this i'm and i'm doubtful anyone will there's a great editorial cartoon i saw today and i don't

00:45:03.980 know where it was from but it was a cartoon of six young girls you know between eight nine ten

00:45:09.740 uh five of them all lined up you can see their faces you can see all their

00:45:13.720 you know their hair and face and in the background five male black shadows and i thought that uh

00:45:21.780 i just summed it up because you're right no no males are going to get punished and still and

00:45:26.040 only one woman and it's mostly men uh guilty here but you know fair number of women but no one 1.00

00:45:31.680 guillain maxwell is the only person for whom any justice has been done and the only reason not to

00:45:37.460 execute them is simply to, uh, extract information from them. Uh, you know, so fine, we should make

00:45:44.280 deals to not throw them in the wood chipper if we can get information to lead to more convictions

00:45:48.340 of other people. But there seems to be no interest in doing that. Like, why? Why is the DOJ not,

00:45:55.360 like, tripled in size just purely to prosecute this stuff? Like, it's so obvious what's happened

00:46:02.400 here but prince andrew why is he not gone through the wood chipper fine he he can do life in prison

00:46:09.880 if he spills the beans none of it none of it i'm just so confused how did epstein keep track of

00:46:17.020 everything and he seemed to be just like everywhere and it's not even just politicians

00:46:20.500 and hollywood but people in academia like harvard professors and that i just saw before we came on

00:46:25.500 here there was a um an email i think from some harvard professor to maxwell and he was talking

00:46:30.500 you had a party that they were at and he just said

00:46:32.460 thank god I didn't kill anybody and it's like what's that

00:46:34.420 supposed to mean like what are these Harvard like

00:46:36.400 why would they be in touch with Harvard professors and that it's

00:46:38.400 the weirdest thing it's like everywhere

00:46:40.520 and where did he have time to abuse all these

00:46:42.460 girls you know what I mean 1.00

00:46:43.840 like okay

00:46:46.280 that is our

00:46:49.780 weak attempt to talk about

00:46:52.320 the Epstein files in like 15 minutes

00:46:54.360 you know who isn't on there though Derek

00:46:56.500 Mel Gibson

00:46:57.220 or Charlie Sheen surprises

00:47:00.380 Or Vladimir Putin, I don't think, apparently wasn't on there.

00:47:03.000 Yeah, I love the meme going around.

00:47:04.800 It's like a picture of Charlie Sheen,

00:47:06.280 and he's got, like, cigarettes in his mouth, his nose, his ears.

00:47:08.600 It says, surprisingly, this guy is not on the list.

00:47:12.300 Mel Gibson, less surprised, is not on the list.

00:47:15.660 That's why I got blacklisted from Hollywood for a bit.

00:47:18.680 Yeah.

00:47:18.920 Well, that and his recorded...

00:47:21.120 Oh, there's T-Semitism videos. 0.56

00:47:23.240 Yeah, I don't think that went down too well with Epstein.

00:47:25.080 No.

00:47:26.580 Yeah.

00:47:27.940 Yeah.

00:47:28.300 Yeah.

00:47:29.040 Okay.

00:47:29.440 well

00:47:30.440 sticking a fork in it there is

00:47:33.640 just feels criminal

00:47:35.680 but we have to, we're out of time

00:47:37.820 alright

00:47:38.740 parting shots, we'll start with Corey

00:47:41.000 sorry Mr. Epstein

00:47:42.340 I'll just go quick

00:47:44.420 I see the announcements, Carney's going to get rid of the

00:47:47.520 EV mandate, get rid of the Islamophobia

00:47:49.600 czar, get rid of the 1.00

00:47:50.920 anti-Semitism czar, but don't

00:47:53.420 celebrate guys because every one of those stories

00:47:55.480 also has the next caveat saying but it's going to be

00:47:57.320 replaced by this and it's going to be replaced by that he didn't need a second sentence you just

00:48:01.720 get rid of them so nothing's changing he's slapping a new coat of paint on stuff it's the

00:48:06.300 same old liberal bureaucracy dave it's uh harpalooza week in ottawa this week uh celebrating

00:48:14.700 the 20th anniversary of stephen harper becoming prime minister uh there was an unveiling of what

00:48:20.580 i thought was a absolutely excellent portrait of him uh and he gave an eloquent speech he was funny

00:48:26.700 uh just just a great speech and as i'm watching it all i can think of is how did he lose to that

00:48:35.220 mop-haired muppet trudeau can't get over that good question mr feichnick oh i don't really

00:48:44.280 have one i'll just say check out my new column on the western standard website about the

00:48:48.140 conservative convention and conservatism in canada in journal what conservatives conserve

00:48:52.300 apparently nothing but liberalism

00:48:54.220 alright

00:48:56.260 and I'm just

00:48:58.920 are we out of time for the

00:49:02.440 bets we have on the board about who Trump attacks next

00:49:05.240 are we out of time or is there still more time

00:49:06.700 still more time in the bet

00:49:08.440 I thought it was like it went on forever

00:49:10.420 no no no there's a time limit

00:49:13.080 America will eventually

00:49:14.920 attack every single one of those countries

00:49:16.540 there's a time limit on it 0.88

00:49:18.360 will he attack them by this time

00:49:19.720 but yeah it's

00:49:22.300 it's looking like they're going to attack iran again i mean they're about as bad a regime as

00:49:28.620 you get but that's not why we should attack countries or why america should attack countries

00:49:33.020 america should attack countries if it's in america's interest to do so it clearly isn't um

00:49:39.020 i think this is this is doing the bit of bidding of others and this is to be a distraction from

00:49:43.980 epstein because you saw trump saying you know it's time for the country to move on like he

00:49:48.380 keeps on saying this it's time to move on there's nothing to see here we've only begun to go through

00:49:54.300 this stuff there's so much to see here and uh just don't be distracted they want to waste western

00:50:03.420 lives fighting other people's wars uh and to distract us from what's happening right here

00:50:10.300 and that a wild number of our elites except for elon musk because he's not cool enough apparently

00:50:16.460 to go to the island.

00:50:18.640 He seems to genuinely not understand

00:50:20.360 what was going on on the island. He just knew it was a good time.

00:50:24.360 But, um, trying to

00:50:26.440 distract us from the fact that

00:50:28.500 it seems that a huge part

00:50:30.560 of our governing, our business

00:50:32.540 and social elite are

00:50:34.220 monsters, and deserve 0.99

00:50:36.360 little better than the woodchopper.

00:50:39.180 So, that's

00:50:40.600 it for me. Dave.

00:50:42.700 David. Mr. Epstein.

00:50:45.140 I'm Dave, by the way.

00:50:46.260 He's David.

00:50:48.360 Yes.

00:50:48.840 Yeah.

00:50:49.380 I'm just letting the viewers know.

00:50:52.500 Yeah.

00:50:52.900 It's fine.

00:50:53.480 I'm going to just call you Vaischnick. 0.98

00:50:54.800 Makes sense.

00:50:55.220 And, of course, Mr. Epstein from a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia.
