First of all, so 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,079 Speaker 1: one thing that I always try to explain when I 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: visit my cousins in Rwanda. Yeah, they're like, so, so 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: then you get used to the cold. I'm like, no, no, 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: did you never get used to it? It's a necessary evil. Uh, 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: that's really unnecessary. Every every single time is minus fifteen. 8 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: You feel it every day. You don't even get used 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: to it for like a day. Yeah, I can't imagine. 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: I just feel like weather should never be in the way, 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: Like it should be something I don't I lightly think about, like, oh, 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: it looks like it's a little chilly, I'll put on 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: a jacket today, but not like, oh I have to 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: go outside and do an hour of manual labor to 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: get my car out. Like that's just this. No one 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: should live like this. I have stories for you, bro, 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't it doesn't make sense. First of all, 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: when my family came to Canada, my parents were like, 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: we had never spoken to anyone about the weather before. 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: That's all about it. No, And it's all these people want. 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: It's all these people ever talked about. Oh my god, 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: that is hilarious. Y'all was like, Hey, where y'all want 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: to go? Let's about Canada? All right, she's pretty easy, 24 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, you're afterkids, which makes it 25 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: even better and it makes me look. Look, the reality 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: is that even Canadians don't talk about very much. Is 27 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: like this is a place full of desperate or formally 28 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: desperate people. Yeah, that's all it is. I never thought 29 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: of that. It's all it is. Is just like it 30 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: was either death over there or a frozen tundra. Oh 31 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: my got okay, so we already recorded. Let me talk 32 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: to you all about my man, Shad. Shad say what's 33 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: up to the folks? What's up everybody? I'm glad to 34 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: be here. Yes you are, Yes you should be. And 35 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: because you're getting a little bit of sun through although 36 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of drizzly today, but I'm in a short 37 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: sleeve T shirt. Um, Shad, I think, Oh that's all 38 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: just uh, that was my alarm. I'm gonna turn it 39 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: off so you have no more interruptions. Oh man, you 40 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: was really sorry? Go ahead, go ahead, all good. So 41 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: it's Shad to me? Was it this like this equal 42 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: parts to where I was a fan of him? From 43 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: Afar and had a million people tell me you need 44 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: a connect chat and need connect chat, and I was like, Okay, 45 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: it'll happen, you know what I'm saying, Like, well, we'll 46 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: figure it out at some point, you know. But when 47 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: we did connect, there was like equal parts of me 48 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: is like did I just meet my twin? My twin? 49 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: And the other part was just this slow realization that 50 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: Shad has figured out how to be a star and 51 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: not a celebrity. Like how you met because we walking 52 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: through Toronto on New Year's and freely and I'm thinking 53 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: to myself, this guy is one of the most decorated 54 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: artists in Canada, like he just I'm like, how are 55 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: you doing this?

When like we're hit in middle school 169 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: is usually like six seventh eighth grade is when the 170 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: recruiting for for for the gangshit starts getting really intense. 171 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: And um, generally, if you have a if you if 172 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: a kid start getting in trouble, a lot of times 173 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: it's like you gotta go. They gotta go spend the 174 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: summer what they Auntie and Atlanta or d C or 175 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: South Carolina because they're trying to get him out of trouble. 176 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: And then eventually Homie moves and it's like, oh man, 177 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: he had to go live with his auntie and we 178 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: don't at that point that person ceases to exist in 179 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: our mind. Uh you know what I'm saying. But you 180 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: just forget that. Like if baby Doo Loo, you know, 181 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: in eighth grade just got shipped off to Arkansas, what 182 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: is he gonna do?

Thank that is oh uh 239 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: so so so yeah, so you know you broke it 240 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: down for me. So I got I'm glad to be 241 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: your your Canadian correspondent and trying to explain to you. Yes, 242 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: some of the things that are going on here. Yeah, 243 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: you've you've exported. Um, I don't know how far to 244 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: go back. Okay, so when Trump was elected, I'll just 245 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: start there first. There for me, when Trump was elected, 246 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,119 Speaker 1: the Conservative Party here, the I guess the rough equivalent 247 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party the right wing mainstream party. Yeah, 248 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: they tried to get a leader that was a celebrity, 249 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: that was a media figure. Um, this guy Kevin O'Leary, 250 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: who was one of our uh, you guys have Dragon's 251 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: den there, shark tank, shark tank. Yours just called shark tank? 252 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: Are is it called dragons? Okay? So much so so 253 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: the meanest you know, business guy from our shark tank 254 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: was in the running for the leadership of the Conservative Party, 255 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: which is our equivalent of the Republican Party, but ultimately 256 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: the membership rejected him. So so that to me was 257 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: a significant moment of like, we saw that work for 258 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: you guys, but we're like, we're not gonna you know, 259 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: our our Republicans are right wing party, was like, we're 260 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: not gonna do that Trump thing. Okay. So all that 261 00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: to explain like Trump and Trump is, um is not 262 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: popular or mainstream here the way that it is there, okay, 263 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: or at least it wasn't here we go here comes 264 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: to banging in little rock moment, I'm like, what are 265 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: y'all doing? Or at least or at least it wasn't, 266 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: you know. So the most recent leader of that party 267 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: was this guy, Um Aaron O'Toole, who is relatively he's 268 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: he's very center, right, Okay, he's I would call him 269 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: the equivalent of like a John McCain, Mney, John McCain, 270 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: a mid Romney and John McClain kind of center right, classic, 271 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, institutional, institutional, classic guy, you know, right way back. 272 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: But they just booted him and it seems like they're 273 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: gonna pivot a little bit harder, right. So that's that's some. 274 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: And then of course there's the trucker what is called 275 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: the Freedom Convoy or the trucker Convoy. I don't like 276 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: calling them the trucker convoy because of truckers are vaccinated 277 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: and working. That's what That's what I wanted to bring up. 278 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I just when I read this thing, 279 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, but yes, like that's you still 280 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: have been if you have a nine on a test 281 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: like you, that's an a you got most of the answers, right, 282 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you tell me ninety 283 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: out of a hundred, I'm already got vaccines and are 284 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: like whatever, we're doing what we gotta do. That's it. 285 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: So according to the you know, the Official Truckers Association 286 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: of truckers are vaccinated, are working, and they officially disavowed 287 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: this movement. That's crazy. The um the Teamsters Union of 288 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: Trucker's officially disavowed is this movement? So like calling it 289 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: as a trucker convoy is a misnomer. Okay, okay, So 290 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: let's start there. Um. That being said, these changes are afoot. 291 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: So they like they kicked out the center right guy. 292 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: The party seems to be going more hard right, um, 293 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: and then this movement started up. Now, this movement started 294 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: like three weeks ago. This is I'm about to explain 295 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: how it all seems very sinister to me. Okay, good, 296 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: I was like Google, do do to teach it? Okay, 297 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: So let me explain how it all seems very sinister 298 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: to me and in line with what you're saying about 299 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: the banging in Little Rock okay, okay. So, so the 300 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: mainstream right wing party seems to be going more hard 301 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: right then this Freedom Convoy thing. So it started out 302 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: maybe four weeks ago as being about a vaccine mandates 303 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: against trucker's. That's what they yeah, going in and out 304 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: of the country, that's what they were saying that that's 305 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: what this protest is about to be about. And they 306 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: were saying that that's an important thing because the truckers 307 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: affect the supply chain and we can't take more hits 308 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: to the supply chain. It's affecting the cost of goods 309 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: for all Canadians. Okay, that what they said it was about. 310 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: But as we know, truckers are vaccinated and working. Also, 311 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: fast forward three or four weeks to now, and the 312 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: protest is blocking the borders and the supply chain. So 313 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: there's that. So they're doing the opposite of what they 314 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: were saying that they're trying to prevent. They're trying they 315 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: said at the start, we're trying to prevent disruptions to 316 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: the supply chain, and now they are actively disrupting the 317 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: supply chain. They blocked the bridge between Detroit and Windsor, 318 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: which is like the biggest trade point between a mayor 319 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: in Canada. It's the biggest trade point in Canada. Yeah, 320 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: by far, and they've blocked it for a week. Um 321 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: Our Premier, which is the equivalent of our governor, had 322 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: to declare state of emergency to clear that bridge. I 323 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: saw that today, right, So so they started saying they're 324 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: about one thing and less than a month later, they're 325 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: doing the opposite thing. So after they kind of abandoned 326 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: being about truckers, they kind of said that they were 327 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: about um vaccine mandates in general. Yeah, that you shouldn't 328 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: make us do this, that that you shouldn't make us 329 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: do this. Okay, But but but then I'm looking at 330 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: my first images of the protests and all I see 331 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: is Canadian flags flying, and I'm like, what does that 332 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: have to do with vaccines? Yeah, what does that have 333 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: to do with vaccines? So then that that starts the 334 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: third pivot. So then it's not really about vaccines. It's 335 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: only a little bit about vaccines. It's about freedom. Yeah, 336 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: and it's about nationalism in a way that is really 337 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: Trumpian very much so, and Trump is supporting it. He's 338 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: a vocal supporter. Fox News is a vocal supporter. Yeah. 339 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: This is even before Canadian media is even really talking 340 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: about it, like not that like that much. Wow. Okay, 341 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: so that we were talking about it before, y'all were 342 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: exactly exactly crazy. I what. Yeah, the part that got 343 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: me was when Foods was like, we're calling for the 344 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: complete disillusion of the Canadian government. I was like, man, 345 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: what to me that at that point I started laughing. 346 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: I was like, y'all went for I don't like this 347 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: mandate to like we just need to dissolve the government completely. 348 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: It's like, y'all, what is it? You know what? I'm 349 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: dialed up the trumpets like you know, it's it's these 350 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: wild leaps and wild leaps and everything like logic demands. Um, 351 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: that's just all over the place. Okay. The final thing 352 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: about it that's really sinister is the organizers. M hmm. 353 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: So the official organizers listed on their Facebook have ties 354 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: to Q and ON, which I don't even know what 355 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: that is, but it's we we gave y'all Q and On. 356 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It is a uniquely American conspiracy. And they 357 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: big in Japan. Yeah, they big now in Canada.

You know what I mean? 397 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: Like to me, that's where, that's where, because you know, 398 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: my natural inclination is to be understanding and sympathetic and 399 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: like if people are we're all tired of the vaccines, 400 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: we're all tired of the or the lockdowns and all that. 401 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: But if people show up with the Confederate flag, if 402 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: people show up, if one of the organizers is trying 403 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: to appropriate orange shirt day, yeah, that's not your cue 404 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: to stay. Yeah, there's some fringe people, but they don't 405 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: represent the think no, no, no no, No, that's when you bounce. 406 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: That's when they have it's there's now you're like, it's 407 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: that point, it's there. It's it's just like when if 408 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: you if you you know, you're in a brawl, and 409 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: then somebody pulls out a gun. It's like, well it's 410 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: a new day. Now, this is something else. Yeah, that's 411 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: that and so and so all the symbols. Man, it's 412 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: crazy that that this is what, this is what they do, 413 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, these far right movements. It's like, like I said, 414 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: the first footage I saw of the protests Canadian flags everywhere. 415 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: So they're taking that simple. They're like, we we are 416 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: the true Canadians. If you got your vaccine in order 417 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: to protect yourself and your the rest of the society, 418 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: somehow you're not patriotic, not patriotic. Somehow you're not patriotic. 419 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: But we are. So they own that right. Then again 420 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: to the trucker thing, it's like truckers are vaccinated and 421 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: out there working and actually being actively blocked at the 422 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: borders by these people, but they somehow own the title 423 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: of workers movement. Yeah. Now this makes me so upset 424 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: because I see that every where, like this is a 425 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: movement of working people, this movement of the working class. 426 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: It's like, prove that to me. Substantiate that, please, because 427 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: that's not clear to me at all. Yeah. I find 428 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: it so interesting that that just with with America, we 429 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: could say, yeah, the the numbers in some ways are 430 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: pretty even. Yeah, as far as like, of course, there's 431 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Q and on where it's like, yeah, 432 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: your brain is cooked, and that maybe we talk about 433 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: a little bit about that little lady. Okay, y'all brain cooked, 434 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Um, But then there are 435 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: those that we would consider like, Okay, you're a reasonable 436 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: person who I just disagree with because I think you're 437 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: I personally think you're in a closed ecosystem of misinformation. 438 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: And it's just I don't know what else to tell you. 439 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: You're not getting correct information, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 440 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: and uh, and you know, it's it's it's there's there's 441 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: that to be said about the sort of smugness of 442 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: like the left wing kind of liberal movement to where 443 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, y'all, just you're thinking better than everybody, 444 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So there's but it's it's 445 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: pretty like, which is why we're in such a stalemate. 446 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: Is like it's pretty even. But I'm looking at Canada 447 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's only five of y'all that that 448 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: actually think this and you to locked down the hole 449 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, how would y'all it's it's only five, 450 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: Like everybody Kinta is like, no, I don't know I'm 451 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: doing I've been at work. And then the way that 452 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: they've been doing this is the most Canadian way ever. 453 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all just hawking horns and being annoying, like 454 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: you ain't shooting nothing, you're not breaking nothing. You just 455 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: y'all to take it and you're just being loud and obnoxious. 456 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: That's yeah. But look, these are the two things that 457 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: are saving us from full on you know six and 458 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: yeah war and you know that level of things to 459 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: two things. One the firearms staying yes, okay, you're just 460 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: gonna happy. Y'all just ain't got guns like us.

We don't have automatic weapons. 463 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: You know here, if someone has a handgun, they're up 464 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: to nod. There's I can draw conclusions you are you 465 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: a thousand percent? You may draw your conclusions. You know, 466 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: I've been in the America with like dentists with firearms 467 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: on it, you know what I mean. Like it's like listen, Yeah, 468 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: you could walk into any average home. Yes, and yes 469 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: there's a handgun in it. Yeah. Oh yeah, you know 470 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: like here you have a handgun. You're definitely up some Yeah. There. 471 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: They are as ubiquitous as like like you're steak knives, yes, 472 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: in your house, like you just have to we have 473 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: we have stake nives.

So so that is keeping 476 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: us safe. And the other thing is that this ultra 477 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: far right, like the main streaming of it is a 478 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: relatively new thing like this this protests is the first 479 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: sort of like mainstreaming of that far right thing. And 480 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: so we're not all the way at the point where 481 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, like I just followed the news about these 482 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: two Republicans that got censored for yeah looking at you know, 483 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: which is like a real movement where a mainstream party 484 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: has basic we decided to be fringe, you know what 485 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean? They've Yeah, this is like it's it's pretty 486 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: remarkable that like a guy that's been um impeached twice. 487 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: Job said, and this morning, listen, this morning.

But the like the goon 502 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: kind of bostness of him that he can still like sway, 503 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing is something that like I should be 504 00:34:18,440 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: like listen, listen, Canada, Yes it's coming you know, Yeah, 505 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: this is the first appearance of that level of like 506 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: pure duggar. Yeah, it's like you know what I mean, Yeah, 507 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: like there's no logic to it. Like I was explaining, 508 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: like there's no logic to this thing. It started out 509 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: about truck or mandates, and then it's about mandates in general. 510 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: Now it's about this vague kind of freedom thing. They're 511 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: taking over all of these symbols, you know what I mean, 512 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: and they're like excusing all kinds of behavior that is 513 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: like completely inexcusable. It's like that's never really happened. But 514 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: but we don't have the weapons, and it is still 515 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: relatively fringed. Like there's not that many people in Ottawa. 516 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: There's a few hundred or whatever. It's just that they 517 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: have trucks and honestly, like our our police force are 518 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: like we're well, actually I don't know what's going on 519 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: with the police forces, to be honest, like people in 520 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: Ottawa like they should be doing a lot more, but 521 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a little bit unprecedented, like they're 522 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: used to clearing out some people. Yeah, yeah, I listen, Yeah, 523 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: I listened to some like I was reading on al 524 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: Jazeer that the police were like, uh, I actually don't 525 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: know what to do. Maybe we just gonna stay out 526 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 1: of this for now, Like I mean they haunk, they're annoying, 527 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: Like that's that's right now, They're just annoying. So I 528 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: don't know, Uh, yeah, what were supposed to do? You know, 529 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 1: y'all don't have a military spinning in yo police, So 530 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: you ain't got tanks or nothing exactly. We don't have 531 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: we have tanks, you don't have any of that. So 532 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of like, yeah, what do we 533 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: do about these just big trucks? You know?

It's like going to Ottawa for 551 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: some of these people is a pilgrimage their meta. Yeah, 552 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: that's good, you know what I mean.

Oh my god, 650 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 1: I would love to see how I wish I wish 651 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: you were sitting beside me watching it because just imagine, 652 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, the news counter, like the desk, five people 653 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: and they're all just like um so because you know, 654 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 1: like it's not precedented, right Like typically when you when 655 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 1: you're a journalist, you're thinking about balance and you know, 656 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: all these sorts of things. But when what's happened is 657 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 1: objectively bad but it's an election, you're like, I don't 658 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: know how to talk about this, you know, So our 659 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 1: biggest news anchor, I remember at one point Peter Man's Bridge. 660 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: He's since retired, but he is like our I don't 661 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: know what your biggest news you know, Walter cronkite or 662 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: something like that, somebody like that, something like that. At 663 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: one point he said to the panelist of like political experts, 664 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know how to ask this. Do 665 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: you think he reads? He's like, I know, he literally 666 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: said this, he said, I know he can read, but 667 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 1: do you think he reads? He said, he said out 668 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: of his own mouth. And this is the part that 669 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: you're just like, am I being sure this is a joke, 670 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm being trolled. We're in a simulation when he said 671 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: out of his own mouth, like I don't read that stuff. 672 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: We're like the the security briefing. No, no, I just 673 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: get up and I get up and I talk and yeah, 674 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: like like this is where Canada was on that sort 675 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 1: of thing. But what's revealed itself in the last few 676 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: weeks is there's a significant contingent of Canadians that do 677 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 1: not um not not just are critical of the media, 678 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: but just don't consume it anymore. Like they've just decided 679 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: I'd rather read blog post from Johnny than an actual 680 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: news organization exactly, They'd rather than an actual news organization. 681 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: And what really worries me too is I feel like, again, 682 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: anyone who happens to be well meaning in this big movement. 683 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: They don't have the self awareness to understand what they're 684 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,280 Speaker 1: really feeling and getting to the bottom of it because 685 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times me these Canadian flags that are 686 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 1: waving you and I know what that really means. Yeah, exactly, 687 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: but they don't necessarily have the self awareness. The organizers 688 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 1: don't have the honesty to say it, but the some 689 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: of the people don't have the self awareness. You being weaponized, 690 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: and to know that you're being weaponized, your resentment is 691 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:32,240 Speaker 1: being weaponized. The worst parts of your self are being 692 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: brought to the surface and weaponized instead of dealt with 693 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: for what they really are. And then you know, once 694 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: you get those laws like no being uncomfortable and everything 695 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: is allowed as long as it's done by Donald Trump, 696 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: it's like then there's no hope. You know, really you've 697 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: chosen your side, and uh, it's not a side that 698 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like in my that's the 699 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: hard part because because us it's we could kind of 700 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: land a plane here. But it's like it's like you said, 701 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 1: it's a reasonable objection to be like I'm not I'm 702 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,280 Speaker 1: not convinced about this piece of medicine. It's a reasonable 703 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: objection to be like, hey, I don't know how I 704 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: much I trust the government or uh, you know media, 705 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: Like that's a reasonable Yeah, it's reasonable to say that, 706 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, would be like yeah, 707 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like and to be like 708 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,399 Speaker 1: you know, um, hey, like I'd love to be able 709 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: to do my job, you know what I'm saying. I 710 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,919 Speaker 1: don't like that you're making me do this, Like that's 711 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 1: a reasonable objection. And then but then the next step 712 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 1: in reason is to be like are there any alternatives? 713 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: Can I show you negative tests? Can I do that? 714 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And then at some point 715 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: you're just like all right, well, hey man, I I 716 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: would love to see if there was another way to 717 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,800 Speaker 1: do this, you know what I'm saying. If yo answer, 718 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: but the dude standing next to you is like, yeah, 719 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: he's right, and we need to disillusion the whole government, 720 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: you should be like wait what Like yeah, that's what 721 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like yeah, you know what I'm saying. And then, 722 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: but like you said, it puts in a in a 723 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: bad like somebody who might actually be like having a 724 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 1: legitimate like yo, like is there because I feel like 725 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,439 Speaker 1: for me, like I'm annoyed to mask, Like I feel 726 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: like masks were like that's to me. It was like, 727 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: this is a reasonable compromise. This is a low Like 728 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: I get it. You know what I'm saying. I'll put 729 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: it on. It's stupid, it's annoying, but I get it. 730 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: You don't want to put nothing in your body. All right, 731 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,760 Speaker 1: fine swearing masks. I don't care. It's stupid. It sucks, 732 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: but so does COVID. Like that sucks. So I'm like, 733 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 1: I mean nobody likes COVID.
