Western Standard - The Rant November 16, 2020

00:00:00.000 hey welcome to the rant for November 16th pushing through this winter of misery in

00:00:08.160 this year of misery might as well start out with some good news the Steelers nine and oh I can put

00:00:14.760 on this Steelers wear with a lot of pride this year I was wearing it in past years but now it's

00:00:18.620 feeling better and better sorry about those rat birds this weekend guys and yeah Dean still my 0.98

00:00:25.040 condolences for Dallas either way Super Bowl bound mark that here now now on to last week's

00:00:34.660 show that I had my weekly show I go on I rant I get stuff off my chest I bitch about the news I do 0.81

00:00:39.780 those things I make jokes for those who haven't seen it before those who have you know what to

00:00:43.500 expect out of this last week I had some people pissing and moaning about my rant which I enjoy

00:00:47.660 I love the crabby feedback I'm not here to make you happy I'm here to make me happy so as long as

00:00:52.940 you're watching I don't care whether you're happy or not but one was a guy going on about how I was

00:00:58.040 hurting the cause because I had ranted about some of the actions of Peter Downing and his little group 0.96

00:01:03.800 with their idiocy with this Alberta first endgame with their confederate flag and then maybe leaves 0.97

00:01:09.580 in it and such yeah I'm hurting the cause really really this is the way western independence is going 0.99

00:01:16.940 to come about is is by putting a ridiculous uh graphics like that that have nothing to do with

00:01:22.320 western Canada and uh just alienate people but I'm hurting the cause yeah whatever the other thing

00:01:28.960 got people wound up because I did say I am supportive of a vaccine so yes the anti-vax conspiracy theorists

00:01:34.600 and I'm sure there's some listening tonight got upset with me well too goddamn bad um I'm not worried

00:01:39.680 about polio or smallpox or or or a number of things because of vaccines they do work they were a

00:01:45.480 fantastic invention in human history and I I am going to be supportive of them now you know I

00:01:51.800 have concerns about ones that are being rapidly developed and I'm not sure I want to be the first

00:01:55.700 one to be uh getting one when the time comes perhaps if one's ever does come out for for covid but

00:02:01.260 uh as it is right now there's vaccines that are coming up they're looking promising and we need to do

00:02:08.020 something about this goddamn pandemic and if this proves out to be decent I'm looking forward to 0.95

00:02:13.260 getting mine and other rational people getting theirs too it's not going to control your mind 0.99

00:02:17.980 it's not a UN conspiracy it's going to stop you from getting the fucking thing so we can get our 1.00

00:02:23.020 economy back in order those who have a problem with those statements that's fine you can suck my balls 1.00

00:02:26.960 that's uh the typical thing it has been an ugly week for covid I mean it's it's it's rising all over 0.99

00:02:33.800 the place in Alberta of course the usual suspects here is going postal on twitter thankfully twitter is

00:02:38.780 absolutely nothing like the real world I mean if it was we would have had an Alberta party government

00:02:43.020 in Alberta for some years now and the NDP certainly would have maintained their uh position of power

00:02:48.600 within Alberta but all the same it's a loud hysterical world that does influence the press

00:02:53.000 and they're just going nuts because covid cases and deaths and that is concerning I'm concerned about

00:02:57.720 this too now deaths are spiking following the case rises I mean they've been screaming about cases

00:03:01.540 for months now and and ignoring the fact that the deaths were virtually flatlined the deaths are

00:03:06.480 starting to creep up we had 20 just recently in Alberta that's a lot of people again you got to

00:03:10.500 remember there's 4.4 million survivors from this like we've got to look at the whole friggin province

00:03:15.460 it's a concerning number drill down into them though one of those was over 100 years old most of them 0.83

00:03:21.160 were in their 80s and 90s again I'm not saying we should just kill off the old I'm not looking to 1.00

00:03:24.820 kill your grandma spare me the tropes and the bullshit guys but thankfully this disease predominantly 1.00

00:03:30.320 kills the dying that at least is one small blessing in it if your young chances are it's not going to do 1.00

00:03:35.260 much to you but the thing is with the hysteria you know people say lockdown lockdown lockdown wait a

00:03:39.620 minute because we're not having much bloody good evidence that lockdowns are going to do anything

00:03:42.900 for this thing either we do know where the vulnerable are we see that with these deaths

00:03:47.300 they're elderly these are sickly people these are people with pre-existing conditions we need to work 1.00

00:03:53.640 harder to isolate them this stuff is getting into the senior centers it's getting into the hospitals

00:03:57.920 that is a problem that's a big problem let's focus on that locking up all the healthy people

00:04:03.480 from we're looking in other jurisdictions doesn't do a damn thing anyways but you know they're 0.57

00:04:08.280 screaming why because we have a hysteric left opposition in Alberta that desperately wants to

00:04:12.940 use this crisis to make Kenny look bad that's the bottom line don't worry there's lots of valid

00:04:18.940 things to bitch about the UCP government with and I will but the the COVID response what decimating

00:04:25.700 our economy and the deaths will carry on I mean we should look at all the other problems because

00:04:29.100 they keep acting like Alberta is the only province that has got this problem going on no in fact

00:04:33.380 everywhere in the developed world these cases are spiking this is happening everywhere no matter what

00:04:38.480 the degree of lockdown might be what does this tell us tells the lockdowns aren't doing a hell of a lot

00:04:43.880 of good I hate to say it but if they aren't doing any good then why would we want to do them because

00:04:48.040 we do know that they do a lot of damage again it's not saying do nothing but just to scream and dive in

00:04:53.660 and shut down the economy when we're not really seeing much evidence I mean look at that Doug Ford

00:04:58.260 panicked and did cartwheels and freaked out and and locked down Ontario's restaurants and and things

00:05:03.380 a month ago their cases are still going through the roof their deaths are still going up again 29 out

00:05:08.420 of a province as big as Ontario it tragic for those 29 people and their families but this isn't the

00:05:13.980 plague this isn't the Spanish flu or anything even close to it Quebec again same kinds of numbers

00:05:18.440 all these provinces have different policies they have different levels of restrictions lockdowns

00:05:24.100 and again their their trend lines their deaths really all seem to be just about the same so let's not quit

00:05:31.220 pretending as if the Alberta government's sitting on some sort of magic bullet and they just refuse to use it

00:05:36.860 it's not that simple that there's no bloody magic bullet that's the problem closest thing we can come to that

00:05:42.340 will be there's only two ways that this thing's going to end two that's it either it's going to run its course

00:05:48.080 and those are vulnerable to it are going to pass on which is unfortunate and terrible and the rest of us

00:05:53.500 will gain herd immunity because it will have run through our ranks and then we build the antibodies

00:05:56.740 to it or a vaccine will come out and we can skip the step of making it run the course of everybody

00:06:02.040 but you got to remember a vaccine might be a long ways away how much do we want to bankrupt ourselves

00:06:07.520 waiting for again when it might not help so think harder before screaming for lockdowns guys especially

00:06:14.140 when they might not do any bloody good I mean even none of it's trying to lock down now they know they

00:06:18.500 did a hell of a lot up there in winter anyways I spent time in the Arctic either way they're shut down

00:06:23.480 because it's spiking up there even but we are seeing a lot of political games being played

00:06:28.660 over this COVID and some people really want to exaggerate as much as possible and there's few

00:06:33.940 political opportunists worse than his worship Nahed Nenshi and uh he of course he's getting

00:06:40.120 Samson to do his bidding and basically talk round about like saying he was on a one month long lockdown 0.99

00:06:45.840 in Alberta and he was even saying things like if I were premier when I went down with ass well you know 0.98

00:06:50.920 what you're not thank fucking god and you're not gonna be what it is though is he's trying to position 0.98

00:06:56.720 himself he's down in the dumps in the polls he desperately wants to keep his mayoral throne 0.94

00:07:01.740 because there's not a lot of options ahead of him he was talking to Trudeau the other week so maybe

00:07:04.800 he's trying to negotiate a cushy landing I'd hate to say I have a very good chance we might be seeing 0.80

00:07:09.680 Senator Nenshi one day at least he can't do a lot of damage he can just sit and bitch off of a new 1.00

00:07:15.780 overpaid throne but he's making the most of this pandemic and the worse he feels he can make 0.54

00:07:22.280 uh um the provincial government look the the more he could try and say he's the the hero who's trying

00:07:27.080 to save Calgarians and in light of the evil uh you know uh Kenny I was gonna say mustache tweaking

00:07:33.720 but I don't think I've ever seen him with with much rather than scruff on his face either way it's just

00:07:37.740 kind of gross to watch this this going on but not terribly surprising and uh let's get on to

00:07:44.140 somebody who's taking the most frightening advantage uh of this this circumstance to try and impose

00:07:51.300 some very frightening changes we saw some transparency out of Trudeau in a way

00:07:54.420 that I wish I hadn't seen because what he's talking about is outright terrifying it's like

00:08:01.200 the veneer slid off but either way I'll play the video clip and we'll go from there building back

00:08:07.040 better means getting support to the most vulnerable while maintaining our momentum on reaching the 2030

00:08:12.780 agenda for sustainable development and the SDGs Canada is here to listen and to help this pandemic

00:08:20.520 has provided an opportunity for a reset this is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts

00:08:26.960 to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty

00:08:32.600 inequality and climate change

00:08:34.940 okay so yes there was a skip ahead in the middle of that that thing it wasn't photoshopped or edited it

00:08:43.720 wasn't to take them out of context come on people those words were pretty clear it's just that

00:08:47.580 it was a long uh you know speech and and the two major parts would need to be highlighted on what

00:08:53.300 what he was going on about uh one of which was the the 2030 united nations agenda on sustainability

00:09:00.080 and the reset the term reset it's a loaded term both of these things they exist they're out there

00:09:06.920 they've been out there people have talked about them for quite some time but they've been dismissed as

00:09:11.300 conspiracy theorists again I was in the middle it wasn't a conspiracy it's right there on the UN site if you

00:09:16.380 want to see it this 2030 agenda which would bankrupt us as a first world nation if we really pursued

00:09:20.680 this to the maximum of what they want to do and that's the goal tear down the rich to make everybody

00:09:24.840 equally poor that the equal distribution of poverty is the basis of socialism and the UN is a socialist

00:09:30.560 organization dominated by dictators you can see that in the list of people they put on the human rights

00:09:35.780 council for crying out loud what a joke I mean even China's on there China so either way there's that 0.96

00:09:43.480 agenda then there's the great reset which is a big thing that some again hardcore socialists have been

00:09:47.680 proposing and that thing's been around for a while it's it's a theory that comes down to you know the

00:09:53.280 world is inherently flawed and if we could just get a big enough crisis to tear everything down to its

00:09:57.120 roots we could build a socialist paradise out of the wreckage and it's the big reset new economic

00:10:02.820 systems the things that Pierre jr was just talking about there he was being quite blunt about that I mean

00:10:09.680 so to bring about and induce if you really want to see this this reset and he says it's going to fix

00:10:13.900 the climate we're going to have new economic systems read socialism look to venezuela see how

00:10:20.440 well that paid off you know that look at that country beautiful climate could have had a giant

00:10:25.100 tourism trade some of the biggest oil resources in the world some some skilled people for a time 1.00

00:10:31.340 well placed for international trade they're broke they're literally eating their own fucking dogs 0.99

00:10:36.560 robbing zoos for food that is what a great economic reset brings about 0.99

00:10:42.080 trudeau i was just shocked that he spoke directly about these things maybe because most people just

00:10:47.700 don't pay attention or care or understand but i tell you what it's chilling the timing for him to

00:10:51.760 take advantage of saying that i mean if he really is pushing for the great reset then he will want to 0.98

00:10:58.860 accelerate our economic collapse because we really want to make the shit hit the fan before you can 0.91

00:11:02.360 rebuild it that's how a reset works and boy a lot of us are going to suffer uh along the way to this 1.00

00:11:08.920 goal uh some others pointed out you know come on justin's too damn stupid to come up with something 0.98

00:11:13.880 that that profound you're probably right but you got to remember the people standing behind him 1.00

00:11:17.320 whether it's butts or others are beaking in his ear and these are not stupid people they're ideologues 0.99

00:11:22.620 and they are not well-meaning but they're not stupid um again there are a lot of liberals who are quite 0.99

00:11:29.260 still you know business friendly and so on and which again astounded me that they'd stand by while 0.96

00:11:33.760 trudeau's putting this crap out i guess when trudeau's more reliant on you know jagmeet singh's 0.83

00:11:38.100 socialist support than anybody else is to keep himself on the prime minister's chair for now 0.99

00:11:42.620 he's not afraid of dipping so deeply into the waters of insanity of things like the 2030 un agenda

00:11:48.900 and the great reset uh this is this is really disturbing stuff um people i'm not reading too much into it 0.73

00:11:58.020 that language is brutal and uh we're economically up shit creek badly enough as it sits today 1.00

00:12:04.520 going into that stuff is it's going to send us into the dark ages we're not going to crawl out it's 0.63

00:12:10.520 not going to be a reset it's just going to shut us off either way onto a mixed story here so there

00:12:17.280 was a remembrance broadcast the world is all broadcast now you know we don't get to meet each other see

00:12:20.940 each other talk to each other we broadcast everything people are getting real slow on figuring out this

00:12:26.020 whole zoom uptake though if you're going to do a zoom things like you don't allow page sharing we've

00:12:30.080 seen this with council meetings and other things and that the big joke on it is always to put porn

00:12:34.960 images up there to be honest if i was in high school and i could have done this you know many years ago

00:12:40.320 remembrance day ceremonies were important and it was important to let students know what happened and

00:12:44.720 everything else but they were also definitely boring often for us and if i would have done something of

00:12:50.020 the same so either way for you people running zoom meetings and public meetings please turn off the

00:12:57.120 page sharing or you're gonna i think there was already term for they're calling it porn bombing

00:13:01.120 you're gonna have it happen to you so get control of your meetings guys the world is different and in

00:13:07.060 an ugly way uh but you're going to be the victim of a mixed like i said i kind of laugh at this and i 0.99

00:13:12.020 had to go back because it's remembrance day but but pay attention getting on to the world is stupid 1.00

00:13:17.820 it's a big world there uh quebec yeah they're stupid you know speaking of succession i really 0.99

00:13:25.380 wish they'd go they would just do us all such a favor so they're heading down towards banning gas 0.99

00:13:30.440 powered vehicles uh you know california san francisco i think it was ban natural gas and new houses up 0.89

00:13:35.720 there they're having brownouts because they can't even generate enough fucking power right now as it is 0.88

00:13:40.040 and they're banning further sources you know for for cooking water heating it and what little heat 0.89

00:13:46.800 you need in san francisco area and now quebec says they're going to ban gas powered vehicles 0.93

00:13:51.540 this shift this push this this is myopic idiocy you're trying to stop the only way the world's 0.93

00:14:02.040 going to shift the only way it's going to change is if you change the demand you you otherwise you're 0.99

00:14:06.920 just playing whack-a-mole for your ideological agenda if you really want to see an end to gas

00:14:12.540 powered vehicles you want to see an end to petrochemicals we're going to make computers

00:14:15.580 out of hemp and and uh cars are going to run on unicorn piss or something fine you can have that

00:14:20.880 agenda but until the consumers want the hemp computers and the unicorn piss cars they're going to stick to 0.98

00:14:29.820 the current tried and true you got to change the demand trying to cut off the supply won't change

00:14:36.960 it all it will do is shoot out the cost for the people who are still demanding these vehicles any

00:14:43.820 economist worth their salt is saying there's 10 20 30 more years of growing demand for oil in this

00:14:51.960 world it's going to grow it's not going away that might change in 40 years that might be finally the

00:14:57.780 curve we might finally hit the peak oil that they've been falsely warning us is coming for the

00:15:02.280 last 70 years but until then quit kicking ourselves in the balls we need this the vast majority of

00:15:10.100 vehicles are gasoline we don't have the infrastructure to go electric do you know what kind of upgrading it

00:15:15.080 would take to change a city so that every house could charge its vehicles do you know what kind of

00:15:19.860 mining and lithium is required to make the millions and millions of electric vehicles to do this

00:15:25.140 you know the kind of money what it would do to your electric bill this is the fun part i have

00:15:29.180 and it shows it and i love quoting him over and over and i'll quote him over in other shows as well

00:15:33.980 hayek my favorite economist said if socialists understood economics they wouldn't be socialists

00:15:38.980 that statement alone really does say what it's all about because you know you watch these green people 1.00

00:15:45.940 online oh boy you know it would just be so much cheaper if we went electric and everything too and so

00:15:50.280 much greener yeah i don't need to take the bus look even if you don't have a vehicle and you and you do

00:15:55.640 take the bus or even if you walk to work that's fine but do you understand what is going to happen

00:16:00.880 if you increase the demand for electricity a thousand fold because that's what will happen if

00:16:05.900 we got rid of all the gas cars and it all went electric and if we somehow damned up enough rivers and

00:16:11.140 made enough nuclear plants and do whatever the hell we had to because don't wind and solar won't do it

00:16:15.820 not even close they're fart in the wind they're nothing so we did all that we somehow managed to

00:16:22.120 come up with enough electricity but still the cost then for having built all that and upgrading the

00:16:28.120 infrastructure even you who doesn't use a car rides a bike to work or whatever your electric bill is

00:16:33.660 going through the roof so if you want the lights on at night and your heat because you shut off natural

00:16:37.800 gas so you're gonna have to get electric heat you're gonna pay a fortune welcome to supply and demand

00:16:43.180 peckerheads we saw this in the past too and some people learn that you convert old cooking oil

00:16:47.640 you know it's funny to watch these hippies learn this lesson i remember reading an article about

00:16:51.600 that that they were going around and they they had a system set up at home and they could convert old

00:16:55.800 cooking oil from restaurants into diesel and they were burning it in a in a diesel engine of a vehicle

00:17:00.780 and they were going around getting free oil behind restaurants because normally restaurants trying

00:17:04.920 to dispose of that stuff but it got popular and eventually what happened with the restaurant

00:17:09.820 restaurant saying well you know what i'm going to charge you for that i want some money for that

00:17:13.520 well you lost it oh you capitalists best well now there's a demand welcome to reality i owned a

00:17:18.760 restaurant i sold it six months ago i had a service that would provide me the bin they would collect all

00:17:24.920 that restaurant grease off me and pay me 10 cents a liter on top of it whereas before a restaurant

00:17:29.260 used to have to pay to get rid of this stuff but that's reality guys it wasn't a capitalist conspiracy

00:17:34.040 if you go out and start building a demand for it the price is going to go up so you know what you got

00:17:38.800 to do you got to build a demand for your hemp computers and your unicorn piss powered cars 0.97

00:17:44.020 until then it's not going away all you're doing is hurting everybody by trying to force us into 1.00

00:17:47.780 something that we can't do speaking of those kinds of idiots yes we have gretchen whitmer she's the 1.00

00:17:55.860 governor of michigan hard hard left lunatic she shut them down over there again all sorts of issues 1.00

00:18:04.000 with her and she's got some big issues with uh the enbridge uh gas or uh well pipelines that go 0.83

00:18:10.420 across into from canada down and across and into michigan never mind that they need it they need

00:18:18.160 they never mind that the price shocks that are going to come if that pipe actually gets shut down 0.89

00:18:23.560 and by the looks of it it won't every time these clowns try to shut it down it goes to the courts and

00:18:27.260 they lose but they just don't stop trying again they just feel if we could just stop pipelines enough 0.67

00:18:32.800 people all just stop driving gas cars no they won't all you're gonna do is hurt them you're just

00:18:36.940 gonna make their cost of living go up you you're just gonna put more people out of work uh you know

00:18:41.860 that the pipe's been there longer than she's been alive but it won't stop her these ideologues

00:18:47.160 that's earned her the title it's my first foreign one i think i've given out of a chode of the week

00:18:51.860 yes she really is a chode she is a sad sort of thing i did an interview a podcast interview of jason

00:18:57.660 kenney by the way last week it was popular one of the things he did was he talked about those efforts

00:19:02.400 to stop alberta lions in michigan as being brain dead and everything uh and then uh and here she

00:19:08.960 went shortly afterwards and and moved to stop these pipelines i don't think she listens to my podcast

00:19:14.400 this is on the works already but some people were already tweeting oh look at you and kenny you're
