Western Standard - Trump Assassination： The plot thickens

00:00:00.000 Good day. Today is July 17th, 2024.

00:00:27.080 I am Derek Fildebrandt, publisher of the Western Standard, and you are watching The Pipeline.

00:00:32.200 I'm joined, as usual, by Western Standard senior Alberta columnist, Corey Morgan.

00:00:38.240 Good day.

00:00:38.940 I feel really weird in this middle chair.

00:00:40.820 It's a weird spot.

00:00:41.840 We've bumped you over because we've got, not as usual, filling in for Nigel Henniford,

00:00:47.240 who's on a well-deserved vacation.

00:00:49.220 We've got Western Standard news editor.

00:00:51.580 What's your name?

00:00:52.380 Dave Kneeler.

00:00:53.100 Hi, Guy.

00:00:53.880 Corey, apologies.

00:00:55.680 Yeah, I know.

00:00:56.420 He refers to Dan.

00:00:57.280 It's like the scramble for the seats.

00:00:59.040 I mean, technically, he's higher up on the food chain, so he gets to pick his spot.

00:01:02.120 Well, true.

00:01:02.800 Yeah.

00:01:03.260 I'm just a part-timer. 0.97

00:01:04.900 You're just a mere ink-stained wretch. 0.87

00:01:07.580 All right. 0.85

00:01:09.300 Well, of course, we're going to have to talk about the biggest story in the world today,

00:01:15.080 the Trump assassination.

00:01:16.320 But the plot thickens.

00:01:17.700 More information coming out, making this story stink more and more every day.

00:01:24.680 can't we just have a good old-fashioned assassination where one guy goes crazy and

00:01:29.240 there's just really nothing to it does not increasingly look like that was the

00:01:33.440 case so we're talk about developments the Trump assassination plot speaking of

00:01:39.520 Trump Trump has appointed named his vice presidential pick JD Vance I was

00:01:47.620 shocked to hear hear JD Vance as I remember that name oh yeah I read a book

00:01:52.180 from that guy a number of years ago.

00:01:54.540 Billy Elegy.

00:01:55.660 Ron Howard made a film out of it.

00:01:57.100 It was great.

00:01:57.720 And then I didn't even know the guy was a senator.

00:01:59.680 All of a sudden they're talking about he's going to be vice president.

00:02:02.040 And I'm like, what?

00:02:03.980 So, and there's quite the Canadian connection too.

00:02:06.500 A guy actually who all three of us know fairly well, Jamil Giovanni.

00:02:09.620 He was elected a conservative MP in a by-election in, I think, Durham to replace Aaron O'Toole.

00:02:15.500 He's a sitting conservative member of Parliament in Canada.

00:02:18.020 He was roommates with this guy.

00:02:20.480 was in his wedding party, apparently best friends. So this could have radical, radical effect on

00:02:29.660 Canada-U.S. relations should Trump return to the White House with J.D. Vance at his side,

00:02:34.020 and Jamil Giovanni returned to Parliament after the next election that could see a poly of

00:02:38.260 government. This could have, these two guys could really hold the relationship of the country in

00:02:42.400 their hands. Built-in relationship. Yep. Is DEI, about to D-I-E, diversity, equity, inclusion,

00:02:53.120 woke mania that has swept the corporate world, increasingly dropping like flies. Major companies

00:03:00.700 that thought this was going to earn them all sorts of brownie points are very quickly learning

00:03:04.880 that actually it might be hurting business, both in terms of hiring people incompetent for the job,

00:03:11.360 but increasingly with the public that is increasingly

00:03:14.040 seeing a big backlash against DEI and

00:03:17.680 wolf programs like that. And we'll see if we get time

00:03:20.720 to it. Justin Trudeau blames the Toronto flash flooding on

00:03:23.780 well of course none other than climate change

00:03:26.160 because it never rains in Toronto, right?

00:03:29.180 To be fair, it is a lot of rain.

00:03:31.840 But we've had times with lots of rain through I don't know

00:03:34.680 all of the history of the earth.

00:03:37.560 There's been water on the earth.

00:03:39.580 So, but yeah, of course it's climate change.

00:03:42.860 All right, so we're going to get into it.

00:03:45.780 The Trump assassination plot thickens.

00:03:49.500 I was on Hannaford just, I think, yesterday.

00:03:53.940 We went into this in, I think, no, Monday.

00:03:57.580 We went into a fair bit of detail.

00:04:01.900 Some pretty dark questions arising through the Trump assassination plot.

00:04:05.860 I think many people watching, listening right now will know of some of at least the major, really big questions.

00:04:15.660 You know, why was a sniper's paradise nest 130 meters away from where Trump would be a stationary target at a podium, completely unsecured?

00:04:26.400 Why did the Secret Service not respond to people screaming at them to do something about the man with the gun on the roof more than two minutes before Trump was shot, and many more shot at him?

00:04:44.400 Why did the Secret Service detail actually allow him to stop them while he was still very potentially in harm's way, while he was on the stage?

00:04:53.400 There's supposed to be a human shield, getting him out.

00:04:55.960 Those are the questions we had before, but new questions have since arisen.

00:05:01.300 One, it's either local or state police officer, says he confronted the assassin while he was walking around that area with a rangefinder.

00:05:11.860 Now, there's not many things to use a rangefinder for.

00:05:14.580 I have a rangefinder.

00:05:15.540 I use it for shooting, mostly archery.

00:05:19.400 It's good for golf, but I don't imagine he had clubs over his shoulder.

00:05:22.040 Yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe he was there to get into the weird golf grudge match between Biden and Trump. I mean, like, I suppose that might be better than some of the explanations we've had from the Secret Service so far. He was golfing. But yeah, I suppose you could use it for golf. I use it for archery. Some long range shooting, but not much. But you know, that's what you use it for.

00:05:42.680 He had a rangefinder, and he reported this 28 minutes before the shooting took place to the Secret Service. Nothing. Nothing. The head of the Secret Service, we'll get into this in a bit, who's been decried by some Republicans as a DEI hire, another diversity hire there to check some boxes, not based on merit.

00:06:05.600 But her excuse for why they hadn't secured that that roof, which is a sniper's paradise, was that it was too, quote, slopey.

00:06:14.740 Now, you know, let's put some pictures up on the screen right now.

00:06:18.200 The roof that was too slopey for the Secret Service, but not for the assassin.

00:06:22.820 And let's compare that to the slope on the roof that had a Secret Service sniper on it.

00:06:28.700 If you take a look, the sniper, the roof they actually had a sniper on was significantly slopier.

00:06:35.340 He actually couldn't lay in prone position.

00:06:37.100 His sniper rifle had to be up on a tripod to stand still.

00:06:42.500 It had a much greater slope, but she says it was just too dangerous to put someone up on this slopey roof.

00:06:48.900 I guess that's one of the new big ones that's come out, Dave.

00:06:55.240 Every day we get more questions than answers.

00:06:59.260 Where do you think this story is going?

00:07:01.580 Nobody knows, Derek.

00:07:02.660 Nobody knows.

00:07:03.340 We've had some good stories. A retired senior Mountie today told our Lee Harding that it was, quote, a colossal cock-up.

00:07:13.460 He says, the Mountie says he's been told that the Secret Service sniper did have the gunman in his sights, was told not to shoot.

00:07:23.120 We're seeing some reports of that, that he had it for quite a while, told not to shoot.

00:07:26.600 But, you know, things that aren't debatable, two minutes before the shots rang out, people were yelling at cops to alert them about this guy on the roof.

00:07:40.480 With a gun.

00:07:41.140 With a gun.

00:07:41.620 They can see a gun.

00:07:42.460 Also confirmed, a local police officer climbed up, saw him there, and then retreated because he had a rifle pointed at him.

00:07:52.700 Yeah.

00:07:53.200 And he told the Secret Service about it.

00:07:54.960 Yeah.

00:07:55.340 And they did nothing.

00:07:56.240 Kind of reminds me of all those cops in Uvalde, Texas, standing around outside that school while all the kids were slaughtered.

00:08:06.320 You know, I'm the least conspiracy guy going here. 0.97

00:08:10.460 I believe the moonhanding happened.

00:08:14.420 There's too many questions.

00:08:15.840 How does he get carrying a ladder through all those people while holding an AR?

00:08:22.700 are. It defies belief. It absolutely defies belief. The slopey roof excuse is beyond parody.

00:08:33.300 Well, it has become a parody. Let's show the video, actually, that's going viral today of

00:08:37.360 a cow on a slopey roof. People making fun of it that this cow can defeat the Secret Service.

00:08:43.680 Yeah, there was a great meme of all the cops on the roof with the guy laying there dead 0.88

00:08:49.840 and saying, okay, yeah, we've eliminated

00:08:52.080 him, but we're getting down now because it's too

00:08:53.940 slopey. You know, it's...

00:08:56.060 And it's not a slopey roof.

00:08:58.000 There is a slope on the roof,

00:08:59.980 but it is a gentle slope. One so gentle

00:09:01.920 he was able to lay prone while

00:09:03.920 shooting Trump. Yeah.

00:09:05.700 So the Republicans have said they're going to

00:09:07.960 call a

00:09:08.580 joint

00:09:10.860 committee together to investigate this.

00:09:13.740 But how long ago was Kennedy?

00:09:15.580 We're still asking questions about that.

00:09:17.360 Yeah. You know, the only thing I haven't heard on Trump is there was a grassy knoll. But this story is going to go on forever.

00:09:24.580 Yeah. Corey, it's I mean, it is a meme heaven.

00:09:31.860 There is a lot of good fun to it on a serious issue, but it's still, I mean, you can't help yourself.

00:09:38.460 Yeah. Well, good fun from one side, another side wishing it actually happened.

00:09:43.000 the other side kind of taking it in stride. Some people maybe taking it too far saying,

00:09:48.120 oh, it's a plot from the Democrats. You don't know that yet. You can't fairly say that.

00:09:54.560 But we can say there are some huge, they're not just holes in the story. Holes imply that there's

00:10:00.760 something solid in the story. There's almost nothing solid. Nothing that happened makes any

00:10:04.660 sense. And you know who's taking the biggest kicking in memes is that five foot four secret

00:10:09.840 service officer well that's yeah who's a close protection officer from trump who can't even

00:10:15.080 holster her gun problems speaking of speaking of her and memes we got to put up the great meme of

00:10:19.540 her uh dei another day yes so i mean there was that there was outrage about her you know i guess

00:10:24.880 she was trying to do the job to the best of her ability but if you notice the secret service

00:10:29.100 around trump the following evening when he walked into the rnc every secret service guy was taller

00:10:36.400 I mean, I'm still on the side of we're seeing mass incompetence and complacency. I'm just, I can believe that there'd be a person or two in there who would like to facilitate the assassination, but these conspiracies to pull them off with more than a person or two, it just, but I mean, the she, the one we're speaking of, the Secret Service one is, you know, five, whatever, and seeing the panic on her face.

00:11:01.480 She can't even holster and unholster her guy and everything else. This was a deeply unqualified person in that role. I couldn't do it, but I wouldn't expect it. I would have panicked and been on the floor too. That's why I'm not there. You're supposed to train the best. Now, was she placed there because they wanted to surround her by incompetent Secret Service people to lead to a bad end? I don't know. I think the DEI talk kind of dominates things. We were there, well, we've got to make sure we got a number of women in there.

00:11:28.720 and there hasn't been at least nothing we've heard of 0.95

00:11:32.020 an assassination attempt like this in a long time.

00:11:35.440 Like, you know, you get replaced.

00:11:36.800 They're all stopped before it happens.

00:11:38.760 That's why we haven't had shots fired at present since 1981.

00:11:41.340 And, I mean, why weren't there little things, like, to see on that roof?

00:11:44.120 I mean, a drone, a $100 drone from somewhere you could fly around

00:11:47.040 and see everything, you know, somebody sitting on a laptop could see.

00:11:50.560 Helicopter, why isn't there a police helicopter?

00:11:52.420 Another one of the, again, you know, it's a meme, heaven.

00:11:54.860 One of the great ones going on is that golf meme.

00:11:57.380 I think it's like Tiger Woods versus what's-his-nuts-of-the-old-guy-with-the-beard.

00:12:02.620 You know, so it's got, like, you know, the world's...

00:12:05.060 John Daly?

00:12:05.740 Yeah, so it's got, like, you know, Secret Service, you know, can't see the shooter.

00:12:10.320 And then, like, Daly there is, you know, it's labeled, like, drunk mega supporters who, like, can spot the guy.

00:12:16.420 We're going to have to put that one up, obviously.

00:12:18.760 More information.

00:12:19.760 Like, tons of people saw this guy, but everybody bought the Secret Service?

00:12:23.020 Look at the RCMP and sell the stunts they've done in Canada.

00:12:25.440 The only difference is we're hearing some of it down there.

00:12:27.060 this was an rcfp event in canada we still wouldn't even heard if there was a shooter taken down yet

00:12:32.260 and uh you know whether like it'd be years before we started getting because they get

00:12:36.180 so type-lipped on everything that said there hasn't been a press conference by the secret

00:12:39.700 service no or the fbi they're keeping a little no i think i think uh well she has spoken a bit

00:12:44.100 now which is where we got the uh that was congressional testimony okay okay yeah yeah

00:12:50.100 um sorry i didn't know oh that's okay um then yeah so coming back to um uh the overwatch uh

00:13:00.660 counter sniper uh unit there it's unconfirmed reports but like you could you could see he's

00:13:05.940 clearly tracking someone and then eventually takes a shot it's unconfirmed right now exactly

00:13:12.900 what was going on but the unconfirmed reports and this seems to be at least backed up by the visual

00:13:18.500 of the video of various videos from different angles we can see the unconfirmed reports are

00:13:24.160 that he asked permission before the shooting to take the shot, was denied permission to take the

00:13:29.400 shot, and then while the shooting was taking place was denied permission, and then just took it

00:13:35.380 anyway. And perhaps is facing some kind of consequences. He may have been fired is what

00:13:41.360 we understand. Yeah, I mean, that's still to be confirmed, but that's increasingly looking

00:13:46.900 like it was very possibly the case. I know I'm, I'm using a bunch of weasel words here, but because

00:13:52.680 so much of this is an evolution evolving quickly. And, you know, I don't want to stick my neck too

00:13:58.120 far out, and it turned out to be wrong. But I mean, if that's the case, it's treason. That's

00:14:04.560 treason right there. And that guy has every right to defy orders, because he was being told to not

00:14:10.980 do his duty. Or again, or at least just criminally high incompetence, whoever's on the other end of

00:14:15.780 radio thinking well we don't know 100 we don't want shooting to happen around the crowd he was

00:14:20.260 certified by the safety inspector yeah the minimum i gotta do my checklist first you know i mean

00:14:25.220 is the shooter diverse uh make sure the shooter isn't diverse yeah one thing we don't know either

00:14:29.700 is the communication system right you got local state federal agents homeland security secret

00:14:35.620 service we don't know whether they're on the same channel uh we don't know uh you know how they're

00:14:41.220 communicating with each other well they all report to the secret service the secret service is in

00:14:44.580 in charge of the show, and that guy was Secret Service, he would have been talking to a superior

00:14:48.680 with the authority to make that call. And again, those reports are not yet 100%. We're not going

00:14:55.940 to know some of this for at least a few weeks, possibly months, God knows even years.

00:15:00.140 The strange thing with this is the conspiracy theories are coming out from the far left,

00:15:03.860 and they're coming out from the far right, both saying it's staged, but for completely different

00:15:07.180 reasons. You know, or at least one saying, you know, they're saying, oh, they wanted to take

00:15:11.100 him out. And then the other one saying it was staged just to make him look good. Because again,

00:15:13.980 I mean, talk about unintended consequences. I mean, if he'd fallen to the stage and lost bowel

00:15:19.120 control and had to be carried sobbing out of there, the Democrats wouldn't, you know, they would have

00:15:24.040 been thrilled on how weak it made him look and everything and no harm to foul. But instead,

00:15:28.780 an unintended political gift. I mean, again, when I saw that picture, holy cow, he's standing there

00:15:34.500 with the blood running down his fist up, the flag in the background. It's the ultimate hero shot.

00:15:39.700 It looks like something from Team America World Police.

00:15:41.860 It does reek of staged just because there's his campaign brochure for the next four months.

00:15:46.740 But we know it's not staged, I think, for two primary reasons.

00:15:50.700 One, it's hard to get someone to volunteer to die.

00:15:53.140 Oh, yeah.

00:15:53.980 It wasn't staged.

00:15:54.540 Obviously.

00:15:56.200 Two, it appears that he's the world's worst sniper because he missed,

00:16:02.220 a stationary target at not a great distance, and he was in prone position.

00:16:06.440 It was great for him.

00:16:09.700 But if he was going to shoot that close, like, less than an inch, and to just wound him enough to give him a little bit of blood for the picture, but not to kill him, and the way Trump moved his head, he would have to be the greatest sniper who has ever lived.

00:16:25.020 He'd put Vasilius Eidsef to shame, put the American sniper guy to shame.

00:16:30.360 So one theory, actually both theories require him to be a good sniper, on the other extreme ends.

00:16:37.520 The Democrats planned the whole thing. He'd have to be at least a decent sniper because no one would recruit someone who's that bad. And then for the left wing conspiracy, he'd have to be the world's greatest sniper to just graze his ear and not kill him as he's turning his head. Obviously not possible.

00:16:54.520 Yeah, the one thing I find strange about this is a 20-year-old kid, right?

00:16:58.940 Zero social media presence, nothing on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.

00:17:03.360 I mean, do you know any 20-year-old who's not on social media in some way, shape, or form?

00:17:08.160 And he's studying computers at university.

00:17:11.800 Not possible.

00:17:13.660 It was obviously wiped by Secret Service or someone within the federal government.

00:17:17.520 It was obviously wiped.

00:17:19.120 They have it somewhere, but they don't want whatever his motivations and thinking was.

00:17:23.700 You can only speculate about what it is, because they've wiped it.

00:17:26.580 But as a harvested assassin, Patsy, he just doesn't, sorry, this was a geeky introverted 20-year-old kid.

00:17:32.400 He hasn't been through special training to pull off this, you know.

00:17:36.120 Yeah, and they all tend to leave notes, don't they?

00:17:39.300 I mean, didn't Hinckley profess his love for Jodie Foster?

00:17:42.900 This guy knows he will die, like succeeding or not.

00:17:45.600 It's a suicidal endeavor. 0.94

00:17:47.180 You're dead regardless of if you succeed. 0.98

00:17:50.000 That assassin's dead. 0.99

00:17:51.820 We're going to be talking about this for a long time.

00:17:55.180 Yeah.

00:17:56.000 Okay, well, let's bring it.

00:17:59.460 I mean, the assassination itself doesn't necessarily touch close to home,

00:18:02.600 but the Trump story, as it's developing right now, does have a significant Canadian angle now.

00:18:07.740 So J.D. Vance, named by Trump as his running mate, he'll be speaking this evening.

00:18:14.660 I think Trump speaks tomorrow?

00:18:16.540 Thursday, yes.

00:18:17.500 Yeah, Trump will speak Thursday.

00:18:19.020 J.D. Vance speaks tonight, his big national debut. He's already kind of had one. So I remember

00:18:26.860 quite some time ago now, an old friend of mine said, Derek, you got to read this book,

00:18:33.580 Hillbilly Elegy. And the person wore me down, took a couple of tries, wore me down.

00:18:39.980 I read this thing. It's a great, have you all read it? I haven't read it. No.

00:18:43.260 No? I'll watch the movie tonight on Netflix. I mean, win or lose,

00:18:48.380 His book sales were already pretty damn good, I think, on it, but I mean, win or lose.

00:18:51.820 I mean, it's going to shoot.

00:18:53.360 It's probably already right back to the top of the list.

00:18:56.980 It's a great book.

00:18:59.140 Talking kind of one of the forgotten men of America, the poor rural whites, essentially,

00:19:05.600 the people of Appalachia, and, you know, the Hillbilly Highway moving up,

00:19:10.560 and able to at least find some way out of poverty, but how the Hillbilly Highway is kind of stopped.

00:19:16.620 Those routes out of rural poverty are really drying up, how drugs, particularly methamphetamines, are swamping the community.

00:19:28.040 He's speaking to an audience that really has been forgotten in America.

00:19:31.420 And Trump's tapped into it, but this guy is the face of this part of America.

00:19:36.980 So we'll see what he has to say tonight.

00:19:38.880 It's an interesting pick.

00:19:39.800 39 years old, so millennial.

00:19:42.040 He'll be the first millennial in the White House. 1.00

00:19:44.300 Poor Gen X.

00:19:46.240 Boomer Trump skips right over Gen X and goes straight to millennials.

00:19:51.280 So it's, I think this would make him, if not the youngest.

00:19:55.040 The youngest.

00:19:55.800 The youngest.

00:19:56.560 The youngest.

00:19:57.200 The youngest man in the White House in either part of the ticket.

00:20:02.060 But the Canadian connection.

00:20:04.060 So Jamil Javani, you know, we all know him reasonably well here.

00:20:09.220 Actually, I think he's been on your show before.

00:20:11.160 Yeah, he's been on your show.

00:20:12.740 We all know him pretty well.

00:20:13.520 A year and a half, circa ago, he ran a by-election to replace Aaron O'Toole as the Conservative Member of Parliament in Durham, Ontario.

00:20:25.900 He was successful. He sits in the Conservative Caucus now.

00:20:28.820 Interesting guy, Jamil.

00:20:30.200 He's got a similar, you know, unlikely background story to where he got to.

00:20:34.840 Yeah, I mean, he's a black Conservative and was fired, I think, was it by Chorus or CTV? 0.99

00:20:40.140 I don't want to get in trouble with the one 0.98

00:20:43.040 I'm wrong about. I don't remember which one.

00:20:44.440 Chorus is in enough trouble.

00:20:47.460 I'm not going to say which, but he was fired

00:20:48.920 from one of the major broadcasters

00:20:50.720 from his radio gig

00:20:52.340 because he says he wasn't

00:20:55.120 playing the part of the black man, which is supposed 0.95

00:20:57.120 to hate anything conservative or 0.97

00:20:59.040 on the right.

00:21:00.940 He just wasn't playing the typecast that was expected

00:21:03.220 of him. So very

00:21:05.180 interesting guy.

00:21:07.340 Turns out I had no idea.

00:21:10.140 Jamil Javani and J.D. Vance were roommates in law school.

00:21:14.380 At Yale.

00:21:15.100 At Yale, yeah.

00:21:16.620 And as you said earlier, best friends.

00:21:19.980 And it's going to be interesting to see if and when Polyev government gets elected,

00:21:26.940 what sort of role Javani will have in Canada-U.S. relations.

00:21:31.820 The other thing that is a good sign for Canada is, you know, when you think of hillbillies,

00:21:36.640 you think he's going to be a senator from Kentucky.

00:21:38.780 He's actually a senator from Ohio, and Ohio is...

00:21:42.540 But on the border with Kentucky.

00:21:43.800 He's around that Appalachian area.

00:21:44.880 There's hillbillies in Ohio.

00:21:45.720 Is there?

00:21:46.220 Okay.

00:21:46.960 I've only driven through there very quickly.

00:21:49.660 There's hillbillies from Ontario.

00:21:51.120 You just don't know.

00:21:53.020 Canada is Ohio's biggest trading partner.

00:21:57.200 So I imagine that Mr. Vance will know Canada and Canadian government

00:22:03.680 and export laws and all that sort of stuff very, very well.

00:22:07.460 So if that helps Canada or hurts, you know, the U.S. likes protectionism, especially during election campaigns.

00:22:16.520 A familiarity is good at least, you know, or a knowledge that it's a reciprocal relationship.

00:22:22.160 Because, yeah, a protectionist comes from somewhere if they've had no interaction with Canada, they might underestimate, I mean, how important we are to each other.

00:22:28.800 I mean, yes, we're tiny compared to the United States, but we're still pretty integral to their economy.

00:22:32.540 No, and Trudeau has soured the relationship with Trump.

00:22:38.660 So, you know, maybe a bridge there with Vance.

00:22:42.680 I mean, I guess Trudeau called Trump shortly after he was shot.

00:22:47.140 And I think poor man, so I've been through enough. 1.00

00:22:49.140 I don't want to talk to that idiot and hung up the phone. 1.00

00:22:53.780 But, yeah, I mean, I think it can only be good for Canada. 1.00

00:22:57.660 Yeah, Corey, he and him being from Ohio, I think is particularly relevant. It's a hyper important swing state. You know, in Ohio, the math of getting to the presidency for either side is extremely difficult. Ohio is one of those pretty much must win states now.

00:23:15.660 So it's, yeah, strategically and just on every level, Trump has really got this in the bag.

00:23:22.580 I mean, what put him over the edge when he won back in 2016 was winning the working man's vote through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, you know, those areas where they felt set upon by woke administrations shutting down their industries, looking down on them as hillbillies.

00:23:41.460 I mean, he's going to tie that right up now.

00:23:45.860 He already had it.

00:23:46.680 They already had it.

00:23:48.520 Teamsters for the first time ever.

00:23:50.700 The overnight bump in the polls was nine points, apparently.

00:23:54.740 And even CNN last night was doing their magic wall, and the entire country is now red.

00:24:02.960 Even CNN is admitting it's going to be a Trump sweep at the moment.

00:24:06.020 Well, I mean, it won't be like a 1984 blowout, but it'll be next to it.

00:24:10.820 It'll be the left coast and then the rest of the United States.

00:24:14.560 The collapse in Biden's competency as well at the same time.

00:24:17.560 I mean, all of this is really unraveled in a month.

00:24:19.600 You know, I mean, that debate was just, you know, we talked about it already.

00:24:23.640 And now I was hearing today, they're looking to fast track Biden's nomination to get it done.

00:24:28.920 They're not liking the voices from within and the infighting.

00:24:32.280 So, I don't know, strategically, you think the thing to do is get in the hell out. 1.00

00:24:35.800 We're ripping ourselves to shreds or you entrench your bintros to entrench them. 1.00

00:24:38.840 Let's talk about that. 1.00

00:24:39.760 I don't think you can take him out because there's not going to be anybody who wants to be the sacrificial man.

00:24:44.000 You've got to be careful of the term take him out now.

00:24:45.740 Yes, very true.

00:24:47.380 Let's talk about Biden because pre-assassination, that was all the talk.

00:24:52.100 Biden's got to go.

00:24:53.800 And for the Democrats, if any chance, they clearly had to swap Biden out.

00:24:57.660 At this point, my thinking has completely changed.

00:25:00.300 The Democrats are toast.

00:25:01.680 I mean, there's an outside chance they pull it off and Trump implodes.

00:25:04.980 Again, they've got to be careful of language now.

00:25:06.300 But there was an outside chance.

00:25:08.860 If they change their candidate around, maybe.

00:25:11.040 But at this point, it looks like the Democrats are toast no matter what.

00:25:14.680 So if I'm a Democrat, I think, well, let them take the fall now.

00:25:19.660 Because this internal party fighting is not just going to hurt the top of the ticket.

00:25:22.540 It's going to hurt the down ballot.

00:25:23.820 You know, your congressmen, senators, state houses, state governors, that stuff.

00:25:27.660 At this point, it's probably not worth the Civil War to change out the candidate, I think.

00:25:33.240 Let old man Biden take the fall, and we'll try to pick up the pieces afterwards.

00:25:38.280 That's my thinking, but I want to know what you guys think.

00:25:39.940 No, it's true.

00:25:40.460 And some of the names, like Dave was saying, too, like, you know, Gavin Newsom and other names people were banning about.

00:25:43.780 But now, if it looks that far gone, I mean, there's no good second place prize in the American system.

00:25:48.160 It's not like here where he'll be the head of the opposition for four years to take another crack at it or something.

00:25:53.020 I mean, whatever happened to Dukakis or some of the others?

00:25:55.160 I mean, when you kick at that can and you miss, you're done.

00:25:59.140 Except for Trump.

00:26:00.520 Well, he's an exception on every front. 0.54

00:26:02.520 He's another creature.

00:26:03.320 Yeah.

00:26:04.800 Yeah, we don't hear much from Sarah Palin anymore, do we?

00:26:07.220 No, no.

00:26:07.480 So, yeah, I agree with Derek. I don't think there's any chance that anybody wants to replace him. I mean, if they can find a patsy, and I guess I shouldn't use that word either.

00:26:17.720 But is it really? Yeah, because you have to, for them to change out Biden, he is the presumptive nominee. He has won the primaries overwhelmingly as the sitting president. Not surprisingly, he's got the delegates for him to not run. He must agree to step aside. And to for at this point, he does not want to step aside. Joe Biden does not want to step aside.

00:26:44.720 You have to completely ruin the man beyond where he's already been humiliated to, to get him to want to step aside.

00:26:52.540 That kind of bloodshed within a party leaves, or you know from internal, you said you haven't had a good hair day since 2010.

00:26:57.900 When did you start getting involved in the Wild Rose Party?

00:27:00.180 True enough, that went to 2010.

00:27:02.340 You know, so, and it's internal party fights that are always, that always leave the deepest scars.

00:27:08.300 You never really forget.

00:27:10.060 That stuff doesn't go away.

00:27:12.000 It just doesn't seem to be worth the internal bloodshed at this point for the Democrats.

00:27:15.740 If I'm the Democrats at this point, let them do it and try to pick up the pieces in December.

00:27:23.400 Fair enough.

00:27:24.160 Yeah, focus the resources on those other races, those senatorial races, those Congress, you know, because you still maintain what you can if you've got a lost cause.

00:27:31.280 I can see that strategically.

00:27:32.920 Maybe talk about what you said it didn't have much of an effect on Canada.

00:27:36.040 One way that it did was some of the disgusting reaction from the left wing. 0.97

00:27:41.280 Right. You've got a UBC medical professor lamenting the fact that the assassin missed.

00:27:51.420 And other academics were basically tweeting the same thing.

00:27:54.980 And, of course, Derek, as you know, they immediately locked down their accounts. 0.98

00:27:58.500 But everybody, you know, I was watching Twitter in the States, everybody from firefighters to school guidance counselors to teachers who wrote stupid stuff, they're all getting fired. 0.95

00:28:08.380 What's happening in Canadian academia? 0.98

00:28:11.280 I mean, we are technically a different country. So it's a little bit of a different effect. But the point stands. Could you imagine if, say this had happened to Biden or to Obama? Damn right, you'd have been everyone be fired, even on the Canadian side of the border.

00:28:28.880 Well, it's beyond the pale, celebrating an assassination. And part of it, I know some people, Adam Zeebo, who was a guest recently, was saying, I don't like this cancel culture swarm going on. I kind of agree, but there's some nuance going on with this. I mean, there's a Home Depot woman who got fired from her job. You know what? Some Home Depot clerk wants to put off their weird stuff, whatever. That's, I guess, between her and Home Depot. 0.96

00:28:48.900 Well, the problem was it was reflecting at Home Depot, hurting the brand.

00:28:51.640 Yes.

00:28:52.020 A professor of medicine, though, that's getting into a whole different level.

00:28:55.500 It's not just what they said, but who.

00:28:58.360 And, you know, it crossed a big line.

00:29:01.920 I tweeted that out.

00:29:03.460 That was, of all tweets or Xs, I put out, I think it had 34,000 likes, 700,000 impressions,

00:29:11.460 and Megyn Kelly followed me over. 1.00

00:29:14.420 That's the attention of coming from the States over a Canadian professor. 0.98

00:29:17.520 because you crossed such a huge line.

00:29:20.420 I mean, you were wishing the assassination.

00:29:24.060 Let's be careful.

00:29:25.780 Let's not pretend there's not been some assassinations that we liked.

00:29:29.160 Trump assassinated the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

00:29:32.740 Now, he did it with a missile.

00:29:34.140 It feels a little less assassination-y when it's a drone strike or a missile,

00:29:37.240 but he took out, it was a targeted strike on a terrorist leader,

00:29:42.360 but it was an assassination.

00:29:43.300 So, I mean, but there's a difference between assassinating a terrorist leader in an enemy state and an attempted assassination of someone seeking elected office in the world's leading democracy.

00:29:56.760 There is a difference.

00:29:57.580 Apples and oranges.

00:29:58.380 It is apples and oranges.

00:29:59.840 But I just want to be clear that there's not every assassination we trade the same.

00:30:05.720 There's some lunacy.

00:30:06.360 They are very, they're not, they're not the same category.

00:30:08.740 They are apples and oranges.

00:30:09.460 It reflects a lot of the language that's gone on for some years, too, though, when they had,

00:30:13.100 we don't want to, in that case on X, it's not unusual, but saying, you know, he's going to

00:30:17.560 kill millions if he becomes president again. He meant this, this guy, he really thinks,

00:30:21.760 I mean, you know, that mental exercise people do sometimes, if you could go back in time and 0.90

00:30:25.400 kill Hitler when he was, you know, still in Austria, would you do it? There's people, I mean, 0.91

00:30:31.620 they literally called him literally Hitler for eight solid years. Now, there's people who really

00:30:37.200 think they might be saving millions by killing this man. And that's when if you believe that

00:30:42.760 really disturbed, then it kind of legitimizes it. Yes, they think that it would be a worthwhile

00:30:47.680 action for humanity. As you said, if we feel morally justified in bombing an Iranian dictator 1.00

00:30:52.820 or Gaddafi, you know, others like that, then they in their mind feel this, you know, so that's a

00:30:59.560 scary place. I think what you're talking about, those people are sitting in their underwear in

00:31:04.500 mom's basement. When you're a professor of medicine at UBC, you should know better.

00:31:08.980 No, absolutely. And you have an audience of people that are supposed to take you seriously.

00:31:13.140 Let's talk about another reaction in Canada, a very different reaction that received a very

00:31:19.540 different reception from the Canadian establishment. Pierre Polyev's reaction, happy the assassin's dead.

00:31:26.500 You know, I know a lot of our viewers and stuff are not the biggest fans of Andrew Coyne.

00:31:30.520 I mean, I think he's pretty off the reservation sometimes, but overall, like, more than 50% of the time, he's at least a rational voice.

00:31:39.260 But Andrew Coyne, kind of speaking for, I think, a lot in the Canadian media establishment, you know, calling it more or less unbecoming of him, you know, we might be thinking it, but we shouldn't say it.

00:31:48.680 No, of course we should say we're happy that the assassin is dead.

00:31:51.940 And then the Liberal Party condemning Pierre Paglia for saying he's happy the assassin's dead.

00:31:57.940 There's only one reason, two potential reasons you should not be happy if the assassin's dead.

00:32:02.040 One fair, one not fair.

00:32:03.940 One is, well, you didn't really mind that he tried.

00:32:07.880 Too bad for the guy.

00:32:08.900 He shouldn't be dead.

00:32:10.580 That's not a good reason.

00:32:12.000 There's only one good reason.

00:32:13.260 That's that.

00:32:16.260 You know, get him to talk.

00:32:21.180 I'm doubtful he was actually answering to anybody because he's, as I said before,

00:32:25.140 You know, if I was planning a presidential assassination, I would get someone who's been to the range for more than five minutes in their life.

00:32:32.140 This guy was pretty, pretty bad shot. But even people just from either of you, just this bizarre Canadian establishment, political and media establishment squeamishness to say we're happy that a man who tried to murder the likely next president United States is dead.

00:32:53.180 And after this left-wing outrage, Paulie went on, I believe it was a Toronto radio station the next morning, and doubled down.

00:33:00.360 He said, what do people expect me to say?

00:33:02.560 Yeah, I mean, it was badly phrased.

00:33:05.400 I mean, as far as a guy who's at the position, is that badly phrased?

00:33:09.520 I believe so.

00:33:10.220 I could say, if I were a comms person in saying that, you could even say, I'm happy he was liquidated before he could harm somebody else.

00:33:18.420 Or even I was happy he was killed before he could harm somebody else.

00:33:21.420 but a little caveat on there really helps.

00:33:24.920 It just sounds a little like celebrating death.

00:33:26.820 It's also, I mean, anybody with common sense should know

00:33:29.140 the reason you would be at all jubilant

00:33:30.820 with the death of this guy

00:33:31.720 is because it's stopped him

00:33:33.120 from shooting six more people in the crowd. 1.00

00:33:35.000 He's a murderer. 0.98

00:33:35.380 He did kill at least one, possibly some more. 0.99

00:33:37.900 We'll see how he was going to go in the hospital.

00:33:39.080 He really got Trump.

00:33:40.200 I'm certainly not shedding tears

00:33:41.300 for the fact this guy's gone, but...

00:33:43.000 I'm surprised to hear you say...

00:33:44.420 You were like the least polite guy around the newsroom. 0.90

00:33:47.200 But I'm an online prick. 0.83

00:33:48.540 That's my job.

00:33:49.240 Yeah.

00:33:50.400 Polyev is running to be the Prime Minister.

00:33:52.200 I'm just saying, comms, you can avoid the distractions by not jumping into some of the things.

00:33:56.580 I'm just saying it could have been phrased better.

00:33:58.520 His sentiment was fine.

00:34:00.020 It was just inviting the coins and the pearl clutching.

00:34:03.700 But isn't that kind of the point?

00:34:05.440 His base loves him.

00:34:07.660 Oh, true enough.

00:34:08.360 His opposition, the coins of the world, they're wallowing.

00:34:12.080 He's eating an apple for the thing as well.

00:34:14.540 Polyev is sitting there eating an apple, hitting an enter on his tweet.

00:34:17.920 is like, let's see them go nuts for this.

00:34:20.080 And I don't blame them for doubling down later.

00:34:21.900 Once the swarms start, never apologize.

00:34:23.880 That's just inviting it. So, yeah, carry

00:34:25.900 on. The toothpaste is out, whatever

00:34:27.880 it might be, good or bad, and so forth.

00:34:29.840 But I just think he could have avoided

00:34:31.860 a little grief by phrasing it a little differently.

00:34:34.200 It's not the end of the world. I'm shocked.

00:34:35.900 I'm like Derek, I'm shocked.

00:34:37.700 I'm shocked at you. Shocked

00:34:39.800 and a little disappointed, Corey.

00:34:42.680 Pick a weird issue to

00:34:43.860 try to be the voice of reason.

00:34:46.040 It'll pass. Okay.

00:34:47.920 So we're going to flow one topic to another, but they're going to blend nicely. Is D-E-I about to D-I-E, diversity, equity, inclusion, which is essentially the new, you know, it's the more technical world that the woke guys use for programs to help people that they think are in special need of help because they can't help themselves.

00:35:13.420 I don't know if I put that fairly or not, but that's as fair as I can think I can put it.

00:35:20.220 The backlash is not coming.

00:35:22.800 It's here, and it's happening hard.

00:35:26.120 It started.

00:35:26.920 The pendulum is swinging hard.

00:35:28.580 Finally, finally.

00:35:29.780 Started last week when, I think you called them an agriculture supply company, Tractor World or something like that.

00:35:34.960 Tractor Supply.

00:35:35.760 Tractor Supply.

00:35:37.320 They came out and said, you know, we're going to go back to our business.

00:35:41.140 We're going to just concentrate on doing whatever it is we do.

00:35:44.380 We're not going to stop funding.

00:35:45.680 We're going to stop funding gay pride parades and stuff like that.

00:35:49.600 Next, and just yesterday, Tuesday, Microsoft fired their entire DEI team.

00:35:57.180 I thought I heard maybe 150 people.

00:36:00.080 Out the door.

00:36:00.880 Beautiful.

00:36:01.580 Out the door.

00:36:02.360 And then John Deere.

00:36:05.500 There was an online campaign started against them only a week ago.

00:36:10.660 for their diversity and their funding of lgbtq plus uh events and all that uh s s q r t l m n o p

00:36:24.260 so obviously the pressure got to them and they came out today they issued a statement saying

00:36:28.340 we're going to get back to doing uh the tractor business concentrating on that concentrating on

00:36:33.620 on growing the business and uh you know they've completely put dei in the uh in the toilet

00:36:40.660 Question is, I think for me, is it just internet pressure? Or is it shareholder pressure?

00:36:46.900 Well, I actually think this, if I really go back to what's the big first corporation to fall

00:36:53.540 from D.I.E. Budweiser or Anheuser-Busch started the dominoes that started it, they just what was

00:37:02.260 the name of Dylan Mulvaney, they got into playing trans politics and stuff.

00:37:10.100 you know and none of this is just about like you know accept people which we do we don't

00:37:16.260 we just don't care uh it's it's just pushing in your face and and just being overly obnoxious

00:37:21.860 about it and companies trying to drape themselves in whatever color the flag is now

00:37:26.260 um and just annoying people and and anheuser-busch uh budweiser got crushed for it they're still

00:37:33.620 feeling it and they not only canceled the dilemma of anything they more or less just backed out

00:37:38.020 We're not just we're not in the business anymore. We're forgetting the D.I.E. stuff. Sorry. D.E.I. Sorry. Billions of dollars poor. Yeah. Billions for like real costs. We were just talking about we talked a bit about how D.E.I. seemingly infected the Secret Service.

00:37:57.560 I mean, if there's anything that should be 100% merit based, it's the bloody secret service, which had had until a few days ago, an impeccable reputation for hyper competence, hyper merit.

00:38:11.140 Biden had put in place what appears to be a diversity hire with very predictable outcomes.

00:38:17.800 We got to put that meme up again, DEI another day.

00:38:20.120 Let's show that one again.

00:38:21.200 God, I love that one.

00:38:22.240 And then a real cost, not this time to a company, but to taxpayers of the tax base. Elon Musk moving SpaceX and Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it. Twitter X. I'm calling it Twitter X. Moving Twitter X and SpaceX from California to Texas. I think it's literally called Spaceport, Texas. I guess it's his home private town or something.

00:38:50.240 And the last straw for Musk was Gavin Newsom passing a law that said teachers don't have to tell parents when their kids want to be transgendered.

00:39:00.940 Exactly the opposite of what Albert has done and New Brunswick's done.

00:39:04.620 And then he said he's tired of Twitter because staff were tired of stepping over zombies laying on the street.

00:39:10.780 San Francisco is just such a mess.

00:39:12.480 Yeah, I got to feel this was coming for a while.

00:39:14.480 That's going to cost California tax base billions of dollars a year.

00:39:18.840 They've been bleeding for a while,

00:39:20.920 but this gives Musk a real good launch point.

00:39:22.780 I think this has been planned for a while, but okay.

00:39:24.920 This is why Newsom's really crossed it now.

00:39:27.420 This is when I'm gonna announce it.

00:39:28.500 We're out, goodbye.

00:39:31.600 DEI, I mean, the best thing is the real cost is coming in.

00:39:34.500 As you were talking about,

00:39:35.320 I think shareholder pressure is a large part of it.

00:39:37.240 I mean, the bottom line is you buy shares

00:39:38.780 because you want a return.

00:39:40.280 If you're not getting the return,

00:39:42.140 you're seeing them crapping on the client base.

00:39:44.980 You're either gonna go nuts at the shareholder meetings

00:39:47.180 or you're gonna dump your shares.

00:39:48.700 going to get out i mean but the dollar wins in the end and i mean know your client base you know i

00:39:54.620 mean budweiser come on you weren't you know who drinks but you weren't starbucks i mean you got

00:40:00.140 to know who you're going after i'm thrilled i i just noticed just the other day i think i said

00:40:04.540 there was something about it but i forgot about it there's a chick-fil-a going in on the cloud

00:40:07.660 trail yes i'm looking for it i've never actually had it it's really good chicken sandwiches

00:40:12.700 and they're unapologetic they won't run on sundays because their owners are christians

00:40:17.180 i don't care i find that annoying i just want a good chicken sandwich i find it annoying i can't

00:40:21.100 get the chicken sandwich where we all had lunch here today from edelweiss village they're closed

00:40:25.660 on sundays and the place is like the ultimate sunday shopping and eating experience it pees

00:40:32.700 me off a bit but what am i going to do but it's awesome so i go on saturday if chick-fil-a started

00:40:37.900 running floats and pride parades they're probably not going to do themselves any favors i'm indifferent

00:40:42.140 it either way. I just want a good sandwich. Check it out when you go there. It's good. You won't be

00:40:47.320 able to go back to the Wendy's and other fare they give you once you've had a Chick-fil-A.

00:40:50.600 This episode of the Pipeline brought to you by Chick-fil-A and MyPillow. We need to get those

00:40:56.560 guys out. It's fairly merit-based. I mean, if there's Chick-fil-A for crap, I wouldn't be

00:41:00.360 saying it. You know, plug in these guys. Hopefully businesses are going back that way all together 0.97

00:41:05.540 and all around. Go there because you like the meal or not. Who cares about their social stances?

00:41:09.340 Yeah, and you know who the last people to change will be is academia, as they always are.

00:41:15.440 Well, they're not going to come in line with rationality and mainstream.

00:41:21.260 They're going to get even crazier.

00:41:23.280 They're going to get even more radical at the same time.

00:41:26.120 We're going on a sidetrack, but there's some truth.

00:41:27.720 Again, when I talk where the dollar speaks in the end, academia has gone so bananas,

00:41:31.460 particularly over the Israel issue,

00:41:33.260 forgetting the last names of a whole heck of a lot of their primary donors

00:41:37.780 who have been pulling dollars like mad out of those universities. 0.97

00:41:42.620 And, you know, even Harvard, speaking of DEI, got rid of their DEI president over that crap. 0.98

00:41:47.680 Yeah. 0.91

00:41:47.940 They will be the last, but eventually, again, dollars dry up, and that's what makes change.

00:41:53.560 It's happening.

00:41:54.360 It's happening big.

00:41:54.800 Okay, real quick, before we run out of time, Toronto, big flash floods.

00:42:01.520 We'll show some of the video here.

00:42:03.180 Drake's mansion in Toronto got water rushing through it.

00:42:07.040 It looked like a river. 100 millimeters of rain in the equivalent of one month's worth of rain.

00:42:13.640 It's a lot of rain. But, I mean, these things happen. There's always been floods. There's always going to be floods.

00:42:21.780 But it's different now because these are different floods. These are climate change floods.

00:42:27.940 So Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau both said this is climate change.

00:42:37.400 So if we just tax your drive to work a bit more, we can stop flooding in Toronto.

00:42:43.800 Is that right, Corey?

00:42:44.660 Apparently so.

00:42:47.000 We've been taxing a while now.

00:42:48.620 Shouldn't these storms have already stopped?

00:42:50.180 Well, we should have droughts.

00:42:51.240 Like the drought that they promised we'd have here in Alberta.

00:42:53.340 I know not enough people are getting sick of it, but I sure am.

00:42:56.540 Everything's climate change.

00:42:57.400 I mean, we joke about it, but it's true.

00:42:59.260 Hot out, climate change, cold out, climate change, windy, climate change, you know, enough.

00:43:03.260 But it's not just that now.

00:43:04.740 Justin Trudeau says our biggest security concern.

00:43:07.480 Don't worry that Canada doesn't have an Army, Navy, and Air Force anymore because Canada's got a carbon tax because climate change is our biggest security issue.

00:43:14.820 The real enemy.

00:43:15.960 You know, every time Calgary gets a good downpour, underpasses throughout the city get flooded.

00:43:20.040 It always happens.

00:43:21.120 Every single storm.

00:43:22.520 You know, I'm surprised I haven't heard Gondek blame climate change for that.

00:43:25.320 Yeah, she's keeping it in her pocket.

00:43:27.040 87 billion dollar climate emergency yeah it's just ludicrous everything from forest fires you know

00:43:32.080 naturally occurring vents forest fires floods um you know you name it it's climate change's fault

00:43:38.480 well and they get sick of not just the politicians but the media the legacy media everything now is a

00:43:42.800 weather event every weather map shows blazing red you know scorching weather even if it's

00:43:48.480 seasonal conditions going on out there everything's a warning everything's a watch everything's an

00:43:54.000 an emergency. The weather isn't a heck of a lot different. I worked outdoors for 20 years. Trust

00:43:58.420 me, you watch the weather. But it was never reported on as such a crisis. But it's not even

00:44:03.660 just otherwise normal weather events. It's everything as Trudeau. It's somehow affects

00:44:11.420 Russia-Ukraine war somehow. I've seen it's a feminist issue. It's a racial BIPOC issue. I mean, 1.00

00:44:19.940 when we say everything is climate change, we're not even just talking everything,

00:44:23.260 weather and environmental. It's everything. CTV said days are getting longer because that was just

00:44:30.900 the other day. Yeah, we've actually, we're doing a story on it. It's actually one, one tenth or

00:44:36.280 one hundred of a millisecond longer. Oh, I'm never going to get to sleep. I know. It's crazy. What

00:44:40.540 are you going to do with all that extra time? Is it spinning faster or slower? Is it like,

00:44:44.060 is it changing the spin of the earth? I don't know. But I mean, that they even found this

00:44:49.300 worth writing about but you know why it's interesting i love these guys like don't

00:44:54.100 stop talking don't stop talking guys speak of the chorus yes all right well let's uh quit while we're
