Starting point is 00:00:04 forgive me if I sound a little bit off this week, kind of getting over a bit of cold. And of course, it gets me in the dog house. Because I fall asleep stupidly early on the couch. And then this morning, Ms. Kew's like, why are you mad at me? He slept on the couch. It's something wrong. Nope, nope, nope.
Starting point is 00:00:37 This has nothing to do with you. I feel like I need to have like a sign up or something like that. If there's ever some kind of thing, you know, some people just automatically assume that if something's going on, that's probably to do with them and it's not always the case, but it takes forever to explain it. I don't even know. I, uh,
Starting point is 00:00:56 you know, Tews, I was going to say, uh, it's funny to me that Mrs. twos is like, you know, twos is acting really strange.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Meanwhile, you're dying on the couch and she's like, is me? Are you mad at me? That's too good. That's too good. Mashup 113, big fella.
Starting point is 00:01:11 How's to go this week? Well, I mean, aside from that, it's fine. Yeah, I tried to get, besides him on my death,
Starting point is 00:01:18 And you took the Joe Biden injection to get ready for the mashup. You're like, okay, I'm feeling. Yeah, this is the Joe Biden injection right here. I got another dose in front of me if I need it too. I know we're going to talk to the debate. That's the point today. But I sat up until like midnight last night because the debate, you know, if you didn't know, Trump and Biden had their first debate last night.
Starting point is 00:01:43 And I set up listening to that. And I was saying to you, you know, like when you listen to Biden, on two speed. He actually sounds coherent. But if you slow that sucker down to one, like, he's actually talking, like, holy man, how is this where we're at in 2024? They probably thought the same thing in 2020. But last night was interesting. So I guess the week as a whole, yeah, it's been good. I'm getting ready. You know, we're going to talk at the end of the guest's host coming up here over the next month here in July. We got some fun things going that way. We get a guest in the back here that's going to talk about the by-election. So we got,
Starting point is 00:02:17 We got some fun things to talk about here in 113. So I'm excited. I'm going to throw this out there, you know, start of the week. Oilers didn't win the cup. So I was planning on being insufferable, insufferable. And instead, you know, they lose in game seven. What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:02:36 What are you going to do? I'm going to play. Michelle Krieger, good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, Michelle. Thanks for hopping in. What do we got here? We got first. Let's start Coots 2.
Starting point is 00:02:47 866 days to this point. So there's that. And if you want to follow along, I just had Gordon McGill on to talk about it. You've got Moka Bersergan, you've got Jason Levine, you got a whole cast of characters that are there now shedding some light on that trial. And happy Airborne Friday to Jamie Sinclair, wherever all the military folks are. Happy Airborne Friday. Two is what else you got. that's basically it. I think we can probably get cracking and bring in our guest. Sure. If you want to bring them in, Brian, pass a fume. Yes, pass a fume. I don't know. You know what's funny? I never say two's last name. And I stare at last names. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:03:34 I don't want to butcher it. And then I overthink it. I butcher it anyways. Brian, thanks for hopping in. The number one conspiracy theorist guy pulling the strings out in Ontario. go, thanks for joining us this morning. I'm glad to be on. Thanks, guys. I'm glad to be here. And I'm glad that, yeah, glad you give me a platform to help, you know, shape Canada's political future. Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:03:57 I was going to give you the secret cabal handshake, but we're not in the same room, so it doesn't really work as well as it ought to. But yeah, we want to start off talking about the by-election. So here's our first headline. Sure, Trudeau gets cream. Yeah, Trudeau gets
Starting point is 00:04:12 creamed by Man He Lowe's For those not paying attention, a conservative candidate Don Stewart pulled off a stunning upset win in the federal by-election in Toronto, St. Paul, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning at 355 a.m. election scanner results dramatically flipped after showing a steady but narrowing lead for church during nearly six and a half hours after polls closed with Sturt's name on top. And enter in Brian here as the number one culprit for it seems to be the reason this happened. Brian, you walk us through it. It's your life that you're living over there. I went to go look up to all these tweets, but the guy's account was suspended, presumably because he called Elon Musk and told him he was on to us. Yeah, it was a shocker.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Like, I went to bed that night fully expecting, like, my mother had messaged me and said, hey, you know, who you think is going to win? And I'm like, come on, don't be a fucking idiot. Of course, you know, liberals are going to win. It's Midtown Toronto. I've lived in Midtown, Toronto. I know the species of people who live there. And it's like, you know, I woke up in the morning and I was like, holy shit, conservative is one.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And people who, you know, some of your viewers or listeners who aren't, you know, who have never lived in Toronto, like that's like, like I mentioned you before. Like that's like, you know, Jagman Singh being elected like an old's or Battle River or something like that. Like it's, it's shocking. And I can't imagine the kind of panic and absolute like panic is the best word. that I'm sure that the liberals are feeling right now. And mostly the, the, the, the, the partisan morons who, for some odd reason, just, you know, love, you know, being idiots supporting Trudeau. And, and, and yeah, I've done a few articles in the longest ballot committee.
Starting point is 00:06:02 That's the, that's the ongoing election. We had gone of an extram on here a couple weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's, yeah, Donovan's a great guy. They had engineered as part of their ongoing election protest. One of the earliest promises that Trudeau made in 2015 was that he was going to get rid of first past the post. He was going to do all this election reform. And then when he actually won and he realized that, well, shit, this is actually to my benefit. You know, that was one of the many promises that got swept down to the rug.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And yeah, and that's what the longest ballot committee is doing is they're trying to inflate the ballots. And each time they do it, it's one world record. another i've seen to be the only reporter for some reason because a lot of my colleagues are i don't know they're treason you know i was the only one who wrote articles on and because of that it seems that these turin on idiots are uh have uh decided that i'm the kingmaker i'm the one who somehow engineered i i'm recovered from surgery i've been off work for weeks and you know it's this kind of stupid that they think that i'm you know laying you know laying in bed watching tv trying to recover And I'm also out there, like, throwing elections.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Like, if that, if I was that. What did this man do? I wouldn't be working with the National Post when that was possible, right? Yeah. Maybe at least the goal. Personally, I want to say thank you, you know? I know, we know what you're capable of, Brian. And we've seen your work firsthand.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And I'm, I'm, I'm rather excited to have you on the team of guys working behind the scenes to make sure elections get overthrown or twisted or turned. And now we got a conservative. of running into a liberal stronghold as you, I like the word to you. I know the species of people that live there. That's, that's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:07:51 You know, even to Toronto, like that riding has some, you know, Toronto's, you know, ritziest neighborhoods. Like,
Starting point is 00:07:58 like, you know, Rosedale, you know, Forest Hill. Like, they were voting like, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:03 it was of great close. Obviously, it wasn't like everyone voting for the fact that the concerto is even won or even came close to win. Like that's, that's, It's huge. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Well, I mean, here's, this is what the Berlin Wall looked last, looked like last time the Conservatives won. Okay. And then, where is it? I got to find it here. But this, George Michael was number one on the charts, the last time the Conservatives won.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Not even the Limp Biscuit version. This is the first. version of that song was number one on the charts the last time the conservatives won that writing see those are fun comparisons but like even as comparing the politics of then to the politics of now that even makes it an even more experience the fact that they were able to to pull this off and it wasn't due to any sort of a conspiracy or or you know door knocking or or any sort of like political engineering or anything it was just the simple fact that it's it's the canary and the coal mine for this government And I think that, you know, any other normal government would have taken the hundreds of other scandals as a wake up call before this point.
Starting point is 00:09:17 But really, I think it's pointless right now to say that this should be a wake up call for it. It should be a wake up call for Choudeau, but it isn't because, you know, he's never going to step down. He's never going to, it's going to have to be the voters voting him out or. Yeah, I think you're right. I absolutely think you're right. And I think it's too close. Like even if he stepped down tomorrow and you had maybe a. a one month or a six week election period.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And then you don't have enough time to build up momentum before you're already into the next election cycle. So he's in it for better or for worse, which is perfect because nobody on the conservative side of things wants him to resign. Everybody wants him to stay on. Right. The best thing that the conservatives could have an effort to stay on. Because if, because that's, that's the, that's the poly of camp.
Starting point is 00:10:04 That's the worst nightmare right now is for the liberals to come to their senses, boot them out, put someone in. let's just say for the sake of our business mark carney or something that all of a sudden everybody was like okay well trudeau was the reason we didn't like them and all of a sudden you get a resurgence of support because it's like you know it's it's it's weird how politics works sometimes like we were we were talking earlier about Doug ford and Ontario but for no one Ontario likes Doug ford but the problem is is that they hate Kathleen win more they hate the NDP and they hate the liberals more they hate Bonnie Cromby more they hate them more so
Starting point is 00:10:39 it's not like the conservatives in Ontario are doing great. It's just that the other parties are completely shit. And that's kind of the same way here in the federal politics, too. It's not particularly that that Pollyev is sort of hitting some sort of a chime right now. It's just that, you know, I think if Aaron O'Toole still in office, I think that the conservatives would still be doing. Well, let's not get too crazy here. Like, not to say that, you know, that that, that, that, because those are doing anything bad right now. But it's kind of like a perfect storm in now.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And this is the greatest. that the conservatives could have ever asked them. They basically have an open net right now, but you're absolutely right about the liberals not being in touch. Like even here is one of their volunteers outside of their writing office doing an interview with the homeless guy passed out in the background. This is the liberal party right now. So I think you're spot on regarding that.
Starting point is 00:11:36 What were you going to say, Sean? Well, I just want to, um, um, um, um, a couple things here before we lay you out. One being just to a Westerner, when you say like this is pretty monumental or historic or you go to bed going, this is like the liberal stronghold. You've probably done a good job of explaining it, but just I guess one more time,
Starting point is 00:11:58 to a Westerner, what is the importance of this writing? Like cemented in my brain, what this signifies. And here to Mattie F too, please. Okay, well, I'm going to, I'm going to kind of explain I lived in Western Canada for a number of years. It's kind of like the liberals take Toronto for granted the same way that the conservatives or UPC, whatever they are in Alberta right now, or even, even, you know, let's talk provincially here, like the same way that they take like everything south of red deer for granted
Starting point is 00:12:29 when it comes to voting like, you know, Crohnest, Pinger Creek, Leithbridge, they're always going to vote conservatives. And that's always kind of a, like, it's kind of the same thing as that there was an election today and suddenly like everything that's blue and Alberta turned orange. Like that's kind of the exact same thing when it comes to Toronto. Like the liberals and even a lot of the other parties, like they never second guess for a second that the downtown Toronto writings are going to be liberal because that's the way they always are. Maybe conservative, maybe, I'm sorry, maybe NDP, but it's reliably liberal.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And we saw the same thing a couple of federal elections ago. But I grew up in Brampton, which was always a conservative area. And then it switched. It was liberal for a long time. And then it switched back to conservatives. So it's like you've got these changeable writings surrounding the stronghold that everyone takes, the liberals take for granted constantly. And that's kind of the seat of power. Whenever you watch election night, as soon as the results for Ontario come in, it's done.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Because there's so many people and there's so many writings in such a small area, the fact that the conservatives were able to chip away at that stronghold. Like, that's a huge deal. And I think that's going to be indicative. You know, if the momentum keeps going between now and the next federal election, you know, I think you're going to see Toronto get white blue. And I think that it's going to be an inevitability of things stayed away there. And I think this is kind of the canary and the coalend of this government when it comes to that. I hope he gets Kim Campbell personally.
Starting point is 00:13:59 So let's, before we let you know, the other thing was Goldie Gamari kicked out a caucus. That's provincial. That's Doug Ford. You're the, you're the, that's your territory. Walk us through what went on and the significance of it. Yeah, Goldie Gamarre, she was, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, uh, represents a riding with Carlton, just close by here, where I, where I am. Yeah, she, she's always been kind of a controversial issue. She's very outspoken.
Starting point is 00:14:30 She's, uh, very pro, um, anti-Iranian government, pro-Iranian government, pro Iranian people and she's also been a very, very, you know, good voice for Canada's Jews. Yeah, she's, she's always been kind of a bit of a controversial figure, but, you know, Tommy Robinson came to, came to Canada recently and she shook her hand. And she shook his hand. His hand, yeah. Sorry, his hand. And you can't assume these things in this day and age.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I never know, yeah. She's definitely woman. He's definitely man. But yeah, like they shook hands. Her defense was she had no idea who he was, which is kind of, yeah, everybody knows who this guy is. Like, even the most periphery knows, you know. Yeah, and it's kind of the breaking news this morning is that she's been booted from the Ontario PC caucus.
Starting point is 00:15:21 She's now, she's with Sarah Jammin, I'm sitting as an independent in the Queens Park, which it's, it's, it's kind of a big blow, you know. She claims that she didn't know who Tommy Robinson was. She didn't know what he was all about and everything else. He's clearly a very polarizing figure. And yeah, she shook his hand. But meanwhile, like, you've got the situation where, like, the prime minister has been in trouble for shaking people's hands and posing people in photos.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Like, that's kind of a common gotcha thing. So it's kind of, it's curious that Doug Ford would use that as a reason to get rid of her. In the statement that at his office release said there was ongoing issues, that they wouldn't emphasize what those issues were. You know, there could be behind the scene stuff we don't know. but right now it just looks like that you know that that that that chica booted out for shaking somebody's hand which a lot of people are going well you know come on well i mean like even uh yankee polack had that uh picture of him with that fucked humas shirt and i think it was the uh ottawa police chief i could be wrong uh i know you're talking about though yeah and they're like oh why are you taking pictures with this extremist he's like well here's a picture of me and my good friend junk meet sing you know that's kind of you know it's it's it's a classic gotcha thing like there was that that incident
Starting point is 00:16:39 a bunch of years ago at the stampede over the guy um i can't remember just having kyle something he's a famous calgary race as he's blood and soil kind of uh calgary neo nazi dude he had uh you know here sign my shirt and of course you know trudo didn't know he was signed the shirt and then as soon as the camera turned he pulled it wasn't actually a shirt it was like a nazi flag that all of and that Trudeau's signature on it. You know, it's so easy to, you know, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, we don't know, we don't know what the whole story is behind that.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It could be a lot of stuff behind the scenes. This could be the last straw that was kind of like the force that it kicked her up. But at this point, you know, the, uh, the premise office isn't really giving any more information other than the fact that she shook his hand and she's out of the coffers. Well, I appreciate Brian, you hopping on and, and giving us a, uh, a view from out in, uh, uh, a, uh, uh, uh, you're in Ontario, you're sitting in Ottawa. You know, have fun with your nighttime mayor. Have a lot of fun with that, eh?
Starting point is 00:17:38 We look forward to maybe here. Unelected nightmare. That's not the morning. Oh, yes. Yeah, which is, again, classic Ottawa. Yeah, classic Ottawa. There you go. Thanks for hopping on, Brian.
Starting point is 00:17:48 We appreciate you doing this and giving us a view from out there. Anytime, thank you. Be well. Rest up. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Okay, there you go. There's a view.
Starting point is 00:18:00 That was awesome. Yeah, the by-election out in, well, out east folks. I've been a fan of Brian for a long time. It was nice to finally get some face-to-face with them. Yeah, yeah, super cool. Okay, let's speed this sucker up, shall we, too? Yes. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:18:14 We got some headlines to get through, and here comes the rapid fire, folks. The bus stops here. A bus driver drove into a path of a semi-trailer in western Manitoba last year. It was clearly at fault for the crash that killed 17 people, but will not face charges. Authority said Wednesday, quote, this was a very tragic collision and it happened because of a choice made by the bus driver. However, we cannot prove that the choice that day was the result of anything criminal, RCMP said.
Starting point is 00:18:38 The Crown considered charges of dangerous driving but decided there was no reasonable likelihood of a conviction. Quoted momentary inattention does not constitute dangerous driving and the bus driver suffered severe brain injuries and is unable to care for himself without an aid, the RCMP said, it's unlikely they will ever be able to talk to him about the craft. It went on to talk about how he cared for all of his passengers, like there were his family, and there were some quotes from some of the victims, family members in there as well, too.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, supporting him. Or at least not supporting him, but just saying, like, you know, we're willing to move past this. We're just going forward with our lives. I don't know, it's interesting. You look at that and you put it side by side with the humble crash, right? like okay well one guy went to jail
Starting point is 00:19:31 and now he's getting deported and then this guy's not facing any charges on one hand I kind of get it because you know it's one thing to just kind of momentarily be distracted and oh hey you know I didn't see this giant semi coming towards us it happens sometimes
Starting point is 00:19:50 it does right but you know he didn't just blow a stop sign that's true and so I think so are you alluding Without, well, I, are you alluding to the fact that the, you, when you look at Humboldt, you look at kids, you look at a few different factors there. And then this one, you're looking at elderly, the fact that his injuries leave him in a space that he may never be able to talk about the incident. And you just go, they did simple math and when, you know, the judgment's already been, you know, he's going to have to live with different injuries for the rest of his life or.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, he's going to be pooping. one bag and eating out of another one for the rest of his life. Right? So I don't know. It's interesting anyways. I wouldn't mind getting, I don't know, maybe it's something to pick Layton's brain on next time you got him on the show
Starting point is 00:20:46 and just be like, you know, what's the difference in the legal ramifications of running a stop sign versus, no, not paying attention. Update. The NDP are not a serious party. Are we talking, Pollyev here? We're talking Nikki Ashton, who is... You're skipping.
Starting point is 00:21:06 You're skipping. Okay, a new Democrat MP whose Christmas travels with her family costs Canadians. Taxpayers more than 17 grand has paid back some of the money. You probably heard us talk about this story a week ago.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Ashton told the news site Canada National Observer that she paid the Quebec portion of her expenses, four nights, combinations, and meals plus a vehicle rental for a total of approximately $2,900. So if you're doing math, she still left the taxpayers on the hook,
Starting point is 00:21:30 for 14 grand. She said she noticed she needed her husband's help in dealing with the bed bug, bed bug infestation in Ottawa, which is why he joined her on that portion of the trip. Tews, what say you? How many receipts were bedbug related? Well, I mean, did she get diamecium powder? Did she get fumigation? Was there a bunch of, I don't know, maybe just double-sided tape to go all around the
Starting point is 00:22:01 baseboards or something? Right? Like how much of that was on the receipt? Because if the, if the husband has to come to help with the bed bug situation, unless he's got, you know, what could he possibly do that that would solve that?
Starting point is 00:22:17 Did they buy a new mattress? Is that, did that get expensed? Like this is, this is really easy to follow up on. And I get the fact that there's going to be that knee jerk. Oh, it was really important,
Starting point is 00:22:31 blah, blah, blah. but yeah, you're going to have all new pillows, all new sheets, all new mattress, probably a new bed frame itself, diamecium powder underneath all the baseboards, 17,000, probably throw out all the couches, all the clothing that you had in there. All of that stuff is going to be gone. And then there's going to be things like fumigation. And if there's none of that is you're probably lying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Like, let's get some more details, shall we? Okay. All right. You were right, by the way. I did skip. I missed a headline here. Did we capture that on audio? I think we did.
Starting point is 00:23:11 You were right. Okay. All right. This is... No headline, but go ahead. This is Pierre Pollyev. It says, here's Roy Orbinson without his sunglasses on. Here's Pierre Pollyev.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Now, all I'm saying is Roy played a set at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary on September 27, 1978. Nine months later, Pierre Poliav was born on June 3rd, 1979. The resemblance is there, twos. Oh, absolutely. I think this is pretty hilarious, actually, which is weird, because this is Mark Critch from this hour has 22 minutes. The lame parody of me that the government pays for.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And they really don't do anything every about two years. You'll be like, oh, yeah, that was. funny. Quite often, it's something that they, they took a tweet of mine and reworked it into a sketch. They, they have literally stolen my jokes multiple, multiple times.
Starting point is 00:24:10 But this one's all on him and it is funny and it is well done. So I'm impressed. And then Jenny Byron, who, if anybody listed to that expose thing I did, about her being a lobbyist for, for Pollyev, or pardon me not for Polly.
Starting point is 00:24:28 yeah, but for the provincial conservatives, that's the lady I was talking about. And so she's saying this is gross. No, it isn't. It's funny. Just deal with the fact that it's funny. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:24:41 It's funny. And Eileen killed a spider all by herself this morning. Why did she need her husband to help with bedbugs? Why did she need her husband to help with bedbugs at all when you could have literally just hired an exterminator? But maybe that's just me. It's probably just you. a phone call to the husband to hire said exterminator maybe.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Another Ottawa sex scandal. Former Ottawa police deputy chief Uday Jaswell has been charged with sexual assault in connection with an incident involving a female police officer under his supervision at the time. The assault allegedly took place in the workplace twos. The article went on to say he's been accused like, I don't know, eight times. Yeah, but this one's opportunistic. Correct.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Yes. So without commenting on like the pretty much squadron of female police officers with a few citizens thrown in there who've complained about this exact thing. This one in particular is just outstanding. The other thing I want to focus on here is that Jazz Wall was suspended with pay in 2020 and collected more than half a million dollars in salary. until he resigned in 2022. Now, I'm guessing that he resigned, whatever day he resigned because he got told that on June 23rd, he was going to be fired and he resigned on June 22nd. I'm guessing is how it went.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Because if he collected literally over half a million dollars to sit at home and do nothing, while they investigated this entire deluge of sexual assault victims, he would have just kept that gravy train rolling. He's fucked all these taxpayers. What's a few million more? I'd like to point out we just, we just hit 222 viewers, now 223. You know, a little plug for twos.
Starting point is 00:26:41 The daytime live stream numbers since we switched from night today, they've gone down quite a bit. Yep. But it works. It works well for us better in terms of our actual lives. And we appreciate the fact that you guys are here. Well, and let's be, you know, one of the things me and two talk about often when we started this show was how many weeks do we give things?
Starting point is 00:27:04 Five. We tried out for five. And certainly with moving to this time, it's going to take some time for people to adjust. And I know how this is. I always go back to Joe Rogan when he switched from Apple to Spotify. It took me a solid like three months to finally listen to my first one. I was so annoyed. And, you know, like, so I can imagine people got into a routine of Monday night hopping on.
Starting point is 00:27:27 watching us knuckleheads at, uh, uh, what was it, nine at night. Nine o'clock, you know, you think about that. People were in and, and, you know, and we're doing it in from Newfoundland at like 1.30 in the morning. Right. So it's an adjustment. And, uh, we're, we're thankful that people are coming along for the ride. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Hiding among us. Oh, sorry. Hiding among us. Uh, since 2021 federal government departments and agencies have spent at least 1.7 million on influencers, influencer, market. marketing campaigns and strategies, documents recently tabled in the House of Commons and publicly available contracts show Health Canica Health Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, Agriculture and Agra Food Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenships of Canada are all tapping
Starting point is 00:28:13 influencers or people on social media who've built large audiences and sometimes have a reputations for expertise on certain topics. You may remember campaigns including promoting the COVID-19 vaccine and food safety. saw a lot of those, didn't we? And then it went on to say, these are topics that are ripe for disinformation. You know what? Here's to say, I'm not getting any money. I don't think Tews is getting any money at this point, folks.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I don't think any. I will say this, though, right? They say, oh, yeah, we need to give all this money to influencers to spread our message because we don't want to spread disinformation. It's not that they don't want to spread disinformation. They don't want to spread disinformation. Paris is full of it. The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics are just a month away,
Starting point is 00:29:04 but there's still a nasty controversy brewing over one of the spots, serving as a focal point for the, I should say fecal point, for the event. The Sien River. After months of testing shows high levels of bacteria from sewage and wastewater residents fed up with the river pollution just weeks before Olympic athletes are set to dive in are threatening to stage of mass defecation in protest. the French government has spent nearly 1.5 billion dues.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Euro, by the way. Trying to clean this level up to make it swimable. Imagine the people lining their pockets on that one, even as wet weather has complicated efforts. And so people are going to take, Macron is saying he's going to go swimming, and people are like, we're going to go take a giant dump in the water
Starting point is 00:29:51 so you can't do your swim. No, no, no, no. He's saying, okay, so here's the thing, is that this river has, has been unsafe for people to swim in for over a hundred years. Do you have any idea the health quality standards that existed a hundred years ago? How bad did something have to be a hundred years ago for people to be like, yeah, we're not going to be able to just rub dirt on this.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That must have been pretty stinking gross, okay? And so Macron has been trying to say, hey, you know what? So Macron and the mayor of Paris, I should say. I've been trying to say this river is great. It's coming around. It's going to be awesome. But you've got this flowing body of water. And so to prove that it's safe to swim in,
Starting point is 00:30:38 McCron and the mayor, who are fairly polarizing figures. Think vaguely Justin Trudeau and Jody Gondack told you that they were going to be in the Bow River at a certain date and time. Okay. So this was responded to, by everybody's saying,
Starting point is 00:30:56 okay, well, this is when he's going to go into the river. And then they even figured out a calculator, given the speed of the river, and resistance of fecal matter in the water. And they said, so you could put in your location, because even if you wanted to get involved with this, but didn't live in Gaypari,
Starting point is 00:31:14 you could go up river, and it would tell you what time you needed to poop into the river for it to get to Paris when Macron has, promised to get into the water. It makes me want to fly to Paris just to poop in the water with them. We should get that person on here
Starting point is 00:31:32 and a translator to explain to us everything going on in Paris. That would be a ton of fun. It's a made-up language. How are you going to find a translator? I will invite one of those faithful fanziers from Quebec on twos. I'm sure they would love to translate.
Starting point is 00:31:49 And, Eileen, can we throw Gondek in the river? Well, it might not be safe to drink at that point. She is pretty greasy. And Glenn says he's getting paid to listen right now. Well, isn't that just handy dandy? And speaking to Calgary's Water.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Update Calgary's Water Saga. Public approval of Calgary's mayor and council has fallen beyond record record at the end of 2023 according to a new survey. Mayor Jody Gondack has a 26% approval. Almost half, 48% voters say they strongly disapprove with the mayor, compared to only 7% reporting strong approval.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And also there's a second article in here, you know, just when you thought it was a Calgary issue, Quebec City crews worked to repair broken drinking water main. The city is recommending some residents in some areas, reduced water consumption, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday. And residents caught washing their vehicle, filling swimming pools or other banned practices. We'll receive a notice and can face minimum fine of $1,000.
Starting point is 00:32:50 So this water main issue spreading to, It was started in Calgary. And now it's all trickling down. This water thing is trickling down. It's really interesting. So one of the things in that support pull is one of the things you can get from it now is that Trudeau actually has higher support now than Jody Gondack. That's how bad it is. That's how bad it is.
Starting point is 00:33:20 That's how bad it is. And it's interesting because people have been saying the World Economic Forum. and this is totally conspiracy theory, just yet another conspiracy theory that we're going to talk about this week. But there's a bunch of videos from Davos of them talking about how they need to institute water shortages to get people in line with what they want to do.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Okay? And now you've got two cities in Canada that are instituting water shortages. And at least in the way, Western Canadian side of things, screwing things up almost intentionally to where you're like, are you trying to get this done? Are you trying to drag it out for as long as possible?
Starting point is 00:34:07 And then also there was the lead up to that for months where they were talking about the drouts and the droughts and the droughts and the droughts. And then the droughts didn't happen, but the water main did. And I get the fact that there are coincidences in this world. But as far as I'm concerned, one more, one more. And I'm going to start moving this over from coincidence to conspiracy. Careful twos, you're starting to put your tinfoil hat on. And when you do that, you start to be right a whole lot more than wrong.
Starting point is 00:34:35 So I just want to caution you. All right. Either of two Quebec fans listening this morning, there's got to be somebody comment. There's got to be somebody from Quebec listening. They're all shy. They all don't want to say because we know. So get in on the comments. Quit hiding.
Starting point is 00:34:50 God damn coward. No shortage of water at golf courses. They actually, I drove by a golf. course, somewhere around Calgary and they said, we don't use potable water. This water isn't safe for drinking. It's only safe for golfing. Because I guess there was a whole lot of people calling and be like, yeah, there's, there's somebody using a whole shit ton of water.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It's the city. I heard the owl call my name. Hooters in the late is the latest casual dining chain to close a significant number of locations amid challenging operating in, where costs remain high and consumers become, this article says, more discerning. About 40 restaurants around the U.S.
Starting point is 00:35:37 have been shuttered according to local news reports. Tews, when was the last time you went to a Hooters? Do you care? I know when the last time I went to Hooters was. It would have been about 2012. It's the one that used to be on McLeod. And then it closed down. I was so disappointed.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Were you actually disappointed? Oh, yeah. I mean, not because I ever went there. but you just, you feel like you want to know that it's there. You want to know that you could go there. To me, you know, like, I don't know. I went to, I've been to a hooters once in my life. And it was just to say that I'd gone to one.
Starting point is 00:36:12 That was it. Well, I've been to that one twice, and then I was at the one in Cancun once. And I think that's every hooter. Okay, so in Cancun, it kind of makes sense. Also, they got billboards everywhere for the hooters in Cancun. Or at least they did. Or they did.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I don't know. I just, I go like, I'm not going into a, I don't know. Does a hooter makes sense? Well, I mean, it's just, there's a lot of tough times going on in North America right now. I know, I know. And Hooters is the one taken on the. Hooters is, this is the owl in the coal mine, okay? Things are starting to sag for them.
Starting point is 00:36:47 They were unable to push up sales. And now everybody looks like a giant boob. A very fine fact check. Remember when the corporate media tried to convince us for years that Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists, very fine people, after the Charlottesville incident. And here was the claim made by the Liberals media on August 15th, 27th, then-President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists, who tended to unite the right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, very fine people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Here is the actual, I'll just pull it up here. Here is the actual clip, okay? This is surprising none of us, but yeah. And you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group, excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down to them a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the knee. neo-Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.
Starting point is 00:38:02 But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? Now, seven years later, Snopes finally did a fact check on it. Yes. Seven years later, after how many untold voters and how many duffel bags ended up voting for Joe Biden because of that clip? Yes. and it got brought up again last night in the debate. Right? It literally got back.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Yes. Right? It got back. Yeah. Like, I mean, it just, I don't have much to say about it because, you know, there's the full clip. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Now, this one, I should have labeled this as an update because it is an update. But here you go. Fitness is no longer far right. So we covered a little while ago about how personal fitness was, something that the far right is interested in. And it's a sign that somebody might be in the far right and that it's just full of far right people. And then now we have a completely innocuous, uh, article from CTV saying, looking for
Starting point is 00:39:10 the fountain of youth, try the gym and weight resistance training. Now imagine if you will, Sean, this exact article is showing up four years ago during lockdowns where everybody was worried about getting sick and they shut down the Jims? Correct. And so what used to be a far right thing, according to the actual goddamn news, is now just a regular thing. Just a regular thing.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yeah, you know, to go back to some of the articles written, one of them in that was here, it said the intersection of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body training, masculinity, testosterone, strength, and competition. uh, it, like earlier, it goes on to appears people, the far right has taken advantage of pandemic,
Starting point is 00:40:04 at home fitness trends to expand its decade plus radicalization of physical, mixed martial arts and combat sports. It went on to just, you know, like, yeah, you have to be far right to take care of your body. Right?
Starting point is 00:40:18 Like that's, that's what it was relatively implying. And now, you know, as Tuz is pointing out, oh, wait, if you take care of,
Starting point is 00:40:27 carry yourself, good things happen. Shocking. Yes. Oh, and I screwed this up. I did the same headline twice. Or I did something twice here. But that was the other headline I had written for it. Three sets of 10 pushing the Overton window.
Starting point is 00:40:46 You know what Toos likes to do? He likes to keep us on our toes, folks. Smith digs her teeth in. We're talking about dental care here, you know. So you have your, you have your, you have Justin Trudeau saying over 200,000 Canadians have gone to the dentist because of the Canadian dental care plan.
Starting point is 00:41:07 200,000 Canadians who didn't have coverage nine weeks ago are now on the plan and getting the dental care, okay? And then you follow that up, and I didn't keep it there. Why would I do that? Daniel Smith says, Alberta already has the most extensive publicly funded dental coverage in Canada benefiting over 500,000 Albertans.
Starting point is 00:41:26 The new federal program is inferior, wasteful and infringes on provincial jurisdictions. Therefore, I've sent this letter to our Prime Minister requesting our share of federal funding for this program be provided to our government so we can increase the number of Albertans able to access our provincial dental plan. It goes on to say that they're going to opt out of the federal plan, essentially. And, you know, Trudeau's happy about 200,000. Daniel Smith saying we're already open 500, 500,000 Albertans.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Yeah, so this is the classic liberal thing where they say, say, well, we've already got this program. But the response is, yeah, but you're not doing it the way I want you to. You say, well, do you want people to have dental care? Yes. Well, then you should give us the money. No, because you're not doing it the way I want you to. Because it's more important to have the people doing what you want than it is to get the result that you claim you're interested in.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Look at the $10 day daycare and how many times we've talked about how that thing has just been. a debacle. Is there any reason to think that the dental care program would be any different? Has any of them said at any point that we learned a lot from the $10 a day daycare plan and this is how we're going to change things? Have you ever heard a politician say we've learned a lot? Nope. Nope.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I don't think so. It's just like full steam ahead. Probably why they're so dumb. The climate change climate is changing. All right. I'm just going to show some headlines here first, okay? Yep. Just so people can just get a feel of what we're seeing.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Here's CTV News. When will the heat end? Question mark, never. And then here's a... Real quick on that. If it's always going to be hot, no matter what we do, why should we even care about renewables? Why should we even care about EVs?
Starting point is 00:43:23 Here's the Washington Post headline. We've been accidentally cooling the planet, and it's about to stop. And then underneath that it says, human fossil fuel burning has cooled the planet while warming it, presenting problems for the future. And then you have CTV news, gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denver. Denmark, a world first.
Starting point is 00:43:44 It does say in there, because if you remember us talking about New Zealand twos and how they were going to be the first, a changing government, and they've now changed trajectory on that. So it's interesting. They're going to be a world first after the country that was going to do it first. backed away from this plan. Now Denmark. Anyways, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:05 climate change on full speed ahead mode here with different things. And I mean, I can literally read some of the stuff if you want. It's just, you know, climate change, climate change, I don't know. What say you two is?
Starting point is 00:44:20 It's just silly how there's stuff like this every week. And I don't know. I mean, I've only ever really been to the main island. I haven't been to the peninsula in Denmark. but there's not a lot of, there's lots of grain, but there's not a lot of stock.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And so it's interesting because it seems as though they're rolling it out on a smaller scale, which is what you ought to do if you're going to roll out a government program. You try it out, you know, like anything else in business or whatever else, you try it out a little bit and then you see if it works. The thing about it is, is that they talk about how much more dangerous
Starting point is 00:44:59 methane is and how they need to curb methane because it's so it traps so much more heat than carbon dioxide okay all right if we take you on your word on that why do we have a carbon tax and not a methane tax okay if we're so worried about getting every animal on earth to quit farting why do we not tax the shit out of Mexican food Bezos bamboozels builders Jeff Bezos Rocket Company, Blue Origin, has filed a comment to the FAA saying they should cap Space X's starship launches from Cape Canaveral due to impact on local environment. Blue Origin, founded in 2000, folks,
Starting point is 00:45:48 two years before SpaceX has not reached orbit yet. Yes, this is interesting. So Jeff Bezos's company is petitioning to hamstring his competition. This is literally the plot of Atle's. Shrugged. Thank you. All I saw on this was Atlas Shrugged. If you have never gone through the gauntlet of reading Atlas Shrugged, I think it's an audible 52 hours. It's a juggernaut. But this is literally the plot line. It's, oh, we can't be competitive because there's somebody doing things well in the industry. What if we did everything we could to just stop them from doing things well?
Starting point is 00:46:26 We just legislate that they fucking suck at their job. And this is the same thing that Blue Origin is trying to do to SpaceX. And it's the same thing, by the way, that Jeff Bezos does when Jeff Bezos and Amazon are huge proponents of minimum wage laws. Isn't it weird that some guy who's one of the biggest employers in North America is advocating for minimum wage laws? And also his other company is advocating for literally hamstringing the competition. What do you think the two commonalities are?
Starting point is 00:47:02 is that when you've got a business of scale the size of Amazon, the difference in wages is fairly minuscule, especially considering how many Roomba robots they got running around all the factories and stuff. Like, we're going to replace everybody with robots, and then we're going to pass, and then we're going to advocate for minimum wage laws because we care. Bullshit.
Starting point is 00:47:21 You're advocating for minimum wage laws because minimum wage laws stifle business. That's why they're instituted in the first place. RCMP goes to bat for China To bat China Bat bat bat Bat because coronavirus shot Yes The head of the RCMP says he's uneasy
Starting point is 00:47:47 With the idea that politicians Could use their parliamentary privilege To name colleagues accused of aiding foreign powers I don't know what else to read from that article I think that pretty much says it all Doesn't it folks Yeah the head of the RCMP Doesn't want
Starting point is 00:48:02 The people who know about the spies in Canada who are in Parliament to talk about it. Correct. And he says it's because there's an ongoing investigation and they don't want to give up their trade secrets and stuff. How many years is this going to go on for? How many years has it gone on for?
Starting point is 00:48:21 Okay. Look it. Okay. Basically my backyard. A little town, a little bit north of Calgary called Crossfield. There was a six-month investigation into a guy who was a teacher's aide for a special needs kid in the school. Basically, his job was to spend one-on-one time with this special needs kid.
Starting point is 00:48:44 And he got arrested after a six-month investigation for creating, distributing, possessing child pornography and sexual interference. I don't know what that is. But that was after a six-month investigation. So whatever they thought was going on, it happened for another. six months after they got involved before they finally stopped it, which is fucking despicable, by the way.
Starting point is 00:49:09 And this is kind of the same thing, except the gut, like, our country is the small helpless child in this and China is the predatory rapist. Michelle, us stupid commoners can't be trusted
Starting point is 00:49:29 to react properly if we know the names of foreign agents. I feel like that's a mistake we should be allowed to make at least once. But maybe that's just me. Unforced liberal errors. Ottawa Center MP
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yazir Nagfi is apologizing for a mistake on a map of Canada. You got to zoom in on this, folks. Residents were invited to color in the map ahead of Canada Day on July 1st. However, the coloring map does not include Prince Edward Island on it or Yukon. You can see up in the top left,
Starting point is 00:50:05 there's no boundary separating Yukon in the Northwest Territories. What makes this, you know, I'm like, when I first start reading... Oh, not only that, but Quebec is connected to New Brunswick, which is connected to Nova Scotia. So when I first started reading this... When I first started reading this article, I'm like, oh, you know, like, obviously they just sent out like an outdated map of Canada. That's what my brain said, you know, I was trying to rationalize this. That's never been the map of Canada.
Starting point is 00:50:29 I'm just... I'm... How do you think Prince Edward Island is, Sean? I'm saying, I didn't see that the picture's at the bottom of the article, too. So I'm saying as I'm reading them, I'm going, oh, they probably just sent out an outdated map of Canada. Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? You could try. Okay. Then you scroll down and you see him have a picture in front of said map and you're like, oh my God, he doesn't know what the map of Canada is. We have politicians that are being bought off by foreign people. We're not allowed to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:50:58 And then we have other politicians that literally don't know the map of Canada. we live in the upside down twos that's what i was trying to say thank you for budding in six times you're welcome i'm happy to do it again next time you say something silly now as far as this goes you know it's almost it's almost like i'm getting shoved out on 113 you know it's like sean we'll see you in a month's time it's like yep fair enough okay so you've got this this party that you'd have to be high on crack to want to vote for, and you'd have to be an absolute idiot at this point
Starting point is 00:51:41 to try and run for. Well, I think this map proves that they've got an absolute idiot running for them. I figure I might as love sunglasses on. I'm going on vacation, so, you know, let's... The Yukon is fake, Glenn says. I mean, if we're
Starting point is 00:52:01 going to get into conspiracy theories, we may as well go all the way. The question is, is if the Yukon is fake. What exactly is up there? The truth about Afghanistan. It appears the right of taking advantage of the pen. Oh, no, I'm going to go through tweets here.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Tweets, tweets, tweets. Give me a second. Here we go. Here we go. Andrew Coying, okay? He tweeted, holy hell. Quoted, bend events minister, Harjit, Hajrit, Sejan. Harjit Sejan.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Cool. Cool. The architect for anybody who knows. what that means. You know, folks, 113 weeks of this. Forces to rescue 225 Afghan Sikhs after the Taliban takeover in October, August 2021, in an operation that three military sources say took no resources away from getting Canadian citizens and Afghans linked to Canada on final evacuation flights out of Kabul. And then, you know, you got one of the comments, there's no holy hell here, just racism. Probably the sources complaining are the
Starting point is 00:53:11 same military types like General Hillier, who's turned about to be a real piece of work. The Sikhs were included, along with other vulnerable minorities, not an expense of anyone else, stop the hate. Then the World Sikh Organization came out addressing the disturbing bias in Afghan evacuation stories. That's, that's, yeah. Go back to the one from the chick and go to the proposed community notes.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Are you looking? Go up. No, maybe it's gone now. All right. Well, basically, it says that not an expense of anyone else, stop the hate. But this literally says in an operation that three military sources say took resources away from getting Canadian citizens and Afghans linked to Canada on final evacuation flights out of Kabul. This disaster, the one that killed 13 Marines for no fucking reason other than a fucking photo op. And just to try and save face and try and come up with a win for Biden and Trudeau.
Starting point is 00:54:15 this is what we're talking about here and this this failed evacuation where they just have billions of dollars worth of killing machines there because it was too big of a pain in the ass to take care of where people were literally hanging on to the wheels of planes as they were taking off and then falling off a little while later because they were all trying to fucking get out hard to say jan jumped in and said we need to prioritize people based on what religion they are on this evacuation. So not only was it a fucking disaster, but it all got racist, well, not racist, actually,
Starting point is 00:54:56 because he said it was racist, but technically Sikh is religion. So it's religious. But then the World Sikh Organization says, oh yes, this is a really disturbing article. And I can't believe that they wrote this. But their defense to it is that, there was a whole bunch of Sikh people that were going to die there, so it was justified.
Starting point is 00:55:18 So they didn't actually refute anything in the article. But they did also say that we would agree with Minister of Hage, Sejan's assessment. If he did not wear a turban, there would be no question as to whether his actions were appropriate. I don't give a shit what your fucking headware looks like. This is idiocy to just be like, hey, can we get on the plane? no no no we need everybody with turbines first everybody with turbines first okay it's not it's not some logistical thing it's not like it was easier to pick them out of the crowd because they had the turban on if that was the case maybe you could make the argument but the fact that this debacle
Starting point is 00:56:01 that none of us have forgotten about from three years ago where a whole lot of people were needlessly killed just for fucking political stakes now we're getting the other side of the page that and it's even worse. Okay, lots of comments. Probably all positive, I think. 113 glorious weeks of this, L.O.L. Well, they're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:56:32 It has been a wonderful ride. All right. And Mike a lot of letters says, hey, it's not fake unless you count our economy, presumably talking about the Yukon. Does you just say Mike, a lot of letters? Mike, a lot of letters. I like that.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Okay. You try to pronounce his last name. No, no. I'm like, I kind of like L and a lot of letters. You know? The LG and a lot of letters. I'm just saying I thought it was clever to, as I'm trying to pay you a compliment.
Starting point is 00:57:01 You can't even see a compliment anymore. Oh, that's so weird. You know? I don't know. I've been waiting 113 weeks for this to happen, and I'm so surprised that it just blows right past me. This week in inflation. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Here's two things. Okay, first it's CTV news saying, Canada's annual inflation rate rose 2.9% of May, driven by services, services, prices, groceries, okay? That's literally what we buy. So yes, that's what drives the cost. And you may have saw,
Starting point is 00:57:29 also Christopher Freeland was just bragging the other day about how successful their government was because they got it down to 2.6% for one month. Yeah, for one month. Okay. And then this is, this is, this went viral this week, right? His Walmart order in 2022 was $126. Then he's got, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:46 he shows the video and in the video he goes to the reorder button, uh, indicates the same order today, okay, is $414. So from 126 in 2022 to, uh, you know, two years later, $414. Um,
Starting point is 00:58:03 yeah, but it's, it's 2.6% too. I wouldn't worry about it. It's not a big deal. No, no, this is, this is the states.
Starting point is 00:58:11 It's not a big deal. But it's, it's the exact same thing. You know, I, I have this argument every once in a while in the family because it'll be like, oh, well,
Starting point is 00:58:22 you know, this is what this cost four years ago or like there was a big sale on bacon at Walmart. And I was like, wow, those are like 20, 20 prices. Every once in a while, there will be like one specific number. Like, I remember paying this much for this specific food item at this date and time. But I mean, I'm not, I'm photogenic, but I'm not totally photographic.
Starting point is 00:58:44 and I really wish that in like 2019 and 2020 22 do you have bigger sunglasses like is there a basic bitch Starbucks lady that you can get clownish oversized ones that could just block out slightly more you're gonna miss anyway I just I wish that I'd have gone through and just take it a you know recorded a screenshot of like
Starting point is 00:59:08 this is what grocery shot through the storm and like okay this is what everything is and then maybe done it on a semi-annual basis. And I'm wondering if I should just do that going forward. Maybe everybody else should too, because I feel like I'm being lied to. And there's the odd time where I know I am, but I can't prove it. No, they're not. 2.6. There's nothing to worry about.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Folks, is nothing to worry about. Michelle, but let's not forget they exclude fuel and housing when they calculate the inflation rate. Yeah, isn't it funny? Because, I mean, that's half of the money I spend right there, at least. right but but that doesn't count towards inflation all right now did anyone hear about this debate that we're talking Trump versus Biden
Starting point is 00:59:53 CNN debate Tuesday did you watch it I assume you watched it it was painful I eventually just went to going through Twitter and seeing where everybody else was pulling up the interesting things I did notice that Biden had said at one point that the reason why the US economy was doing so well was because of the number of legal immigrants
Starting point is 01:00:11 and I don't think that was really making the argument he thought it was. So, okay. Debate takeaways, CTV news for you, Trump confident, even when wrong, Biden halting, even with facts on his side. It's like there. That was the nicest thing anybody said about Biden the whole time. Like even the hardcore leftist. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:35 I was going to say Tucker Carlson had a video go viral this week getting questioned by people in Australia. And this is his point right here to the mainstream media still. Like that, that's what you got out of at CTV? Like, I don't think you watched the debate. I don't even know what you were watching.
Starting point is 01:00:53 And I want to pull up, okay, I want to pull up a couple videos here so people can just hear because I was saying to you before we started. I watched it all last night. And when I put it on two speed, Biden sounded kind of coherent.
Starting point is 01:01:06 As soon as you went to just regular, like, gonna listen to him talk. I'm like, I cannot believe this is a presidential debate and this is the guy that the Democrats are like this is going to win it for us you know it's like they're mocking us in real time here we go are we going making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what i've been able to do with the uh with the COVID excuse me with dealing with everything we have to do with uh look if we finally beat
Starting point is 01:01:44 care. Thank you, President Biden. President Trump. He was right. He did beat Medicaid. He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare. I mean, that was a layout, right? Like, that was a given. He says he is and take a look at what he is. Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest for them. I got my handicap, which one I was vice president down to a six. And by the way, I told me before, I'm happy to play golf. if you carry your own bag. I think you can do it. That's the biggest allowed to use a six-handicap of all.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I was an eight-handed cap, yeah. I mean, I'm going to speak. I know you swing. Let's not act like children. Just imagine for a minute that you're having a debate, just hang on a sec here, you're having a debate with one other guy to become the most powerful person on the planet
Starting point is 01:02:41 for the next four years. years. And he starts rambling incoherently about his golf handicap from a decade ago. Trump's sitting there going like, what am I a part of here? Like I, you know, at some point he's the guy. They're like, you're a convicted felies. He's got all these things going and he's sitting across. And this is what they're going to try to beat me with.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I want to show. Yeah, okay. Keep going. Keep going. Because there's at least one more. I hope you're going to play. I want to play two more. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:11 And the reason I want to play the. this other one is because I just showed that I want to show I want to show this one okay because it's literally it's literally the same call but now it's the shipmates and I do it he doesn't do it he can't hit a ball 50 yards he challenged me to a golf match he can't hit a ball 50 years I think I'm in very good shape I feel that I'm is in good shape as I was 25 30 years ago actually I'm probably a little bit lighter look I'd be happy to have a driving contest for them I got my handicapped, which when I was
Starting point is 01:03:45 vice president down to a six. And by the way, I told me, I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. I think you can do it? That's the biggest one that he's a six handicapped of all. I was an eight handicapped.
Starting point is 01:04:02 I love how Trump fact checks of it says there's no fucking way you're a six handicapped and he says okay, well, I was an eight handicapped. I'm telling you right now, They did, if the chef mates did that, the entire, like, I know they, they can't do the entire debate. How much better would the debate be if those were the two guys going back and forth with the
Starting point is 01:04:22 voices to tell? I just, it's just brilliant. It made me smile. That was the best part of the debate was the chef mates making fun of the golf thing and everybody making fun of the golf thing. It's like, that was perfect. The entire debate was ridiculous. Literally anything and everything would have made that better.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Okay. Do you have the one? The total initiative relative to what we're going to do. with more border patrol and more asylum officers. President Trump? I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. Look.
Starting point is 01:04:56 And that's the thing, right? That made me burst out laughing last night. So I'm sitting on the couch. I'm watching this. I got Mel sitting, she's working away on one thing. And I got my headphones in because I don't want to, you know, like, you know, she's trying to do her thing.
Starting point is 01:05:11 And I'm listening to these two buffoons go back and forth. and literally Trump, I'm listening to this. I'm like, what the hell is he saying? And Trump goes, I don't think anyone knows what he's saying. And I'm like, this is a presidential defense. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Man, nobody does.
Starting point is 01:05:27 And the words are coming out of your mouth. All right. Here's the, it's hilarious and it's fun to mock, but it's got a serious ramification to it. Now, how many times have you heard somebody called Joe Biden's Sleepy Joe? For years, this has been going on. Even before he became present, you're like, he's old, he's frail, he has dementia, he has no idea what's going on. There's a half dozen at least videos of him fucking falling over off of stairs and stages.
Starting point is 01:05:59 He shit his pants twice so far. Okay. And that's just what we know about. He gets let around like a daughtering old man because he is. Now, at the same time, this is what we've been bombarded by. by the mainstream media. Because the one thing that was really interesting last night was how many leftists were like,
Starting point is 01:06:19 I don't think he's okay. This guy is not in good shape. You're like, motherfucker, we've been telling you this for literal years. And now you, like, but here's the thing is that so many people on the left just take all this stuff for granted because they hear assholes like this.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth. And F you, if you can't, handle the truth. This version of Biden is the best Biden ever. This video's like 3 minutes long. He wanted GD. War. But he's totally focused. He's very sharp. They say he's sharp in meetings and so on. Very loose and low. He's sharp. He's so sharp. It's a physical appearance. It's forever.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Hillary's email. All they have is that he's all. He can clear a All right. Well, whatever. Anyway. Dementia bar. It doesn't matter. What is is that video is over three minutes long and it's just a a bunch of paid shills talking about stuff that's a complete fucking lie. 100%. And if you are what,
Starting point is 01:07:21 if you watched the debate last night and was very new to the concept that Joe Biden is not in a great place right now, ask yourself what other stuff you have been bombarded with lies about. You know, maybe since, for example, 2020.
Starting point is 01:07:36 But let's be honest, it doesn't stop there. Safe and effective, folks. Safe and effective. That's what the mashup is all about. Safe and effective. Joe Biden is. A bit effective. That's right.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Daniel Smith irritates twos of the week. We recognize that local businesses and entrepreneurs face challenges relating to this community and support for the black community must extend beyond strictly business supports. This is Daniel Smith told an audience of black women entrepreneurs from Canada, the Caribbean, Africa, and even the United States, you quoted, and we're happy to address anti-racism and systemic barriers faced by offering feedback that some face difficulty accessing capital and how we might be able to bridge that gap. Speaking to the black Canadian women in action, conference in Calgary on Thursday,
Starting point is 01:08:22 Smith said 12% of Alberta businesses are black-owned, and the government is actively engaging in expanding ties with the Caribbean and Africa, especially with respect to energy. This whole thing reads like I would have expected Rachel Notley to say this. Or now, Nenshi, because I guess that's the one thing we're not talking about this week, but Nenshi. not the new leader. Yeah, yeah, I guess it happened.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Yeah, we just didn't care enough, but, or did we talk about it last week? I can't remember. Anyways, then she's the new leader and he got 85% of the votes, which is it, I guess, slightly interesting because I figured he was probably only going to get about 80. So my off the top of my head guess was pretty damn close. Also, Sarah Hoffman got 2% of the vote. And Kathleen Gandle, got 4%.
Starting point is 01:09:14 And so the guy who won with 85% of the votes beat out all these other women. So the NDP who's all about taking care of their own and empowering women got a special injunction to get leniency from their own rules to bring in Nenshi, a man who is an outsider so that he could compete in this. And he took all their votes.
Starting point is 01:09:39 It wasn't even close. But these people are the kind of people I would expect to have this speech that Daniel Smith just gave because here's the thing. Daniel Smith, if this is how you're going to talk, if these are the policies you're going to have,
Starting point is 01:09:53 why would I vote for you and not just Nahed Ninchie at this point? Ooh. Also, Amarjit Sohi was talking about how all of these new immigrants and how the population has absolutely exploded. and now that the conservatives in Alberta have a surplus,
Starting point is 01:10:18 he's like, well, we want some of that money because we got all these people coming in and you're making a whole bunch of extra money and we need some of that money. Motherfucker, how much more money are you making in property taxes and business taxes in all of the services and everything like that that the city provides? Okay, it's not like, okay, first off,
Starting point is 01:10:38 the only way you're not making more money in terms of revenue is if all of them live is somewhere other than Edmonton. But even if that were the case, you wouldn't need the extra money anyway. So pick a fucking lane, but they both lead to you're an idiot. Red tape closes doors. A modular construction company has decided to close up shopping,
Starting point is 01:11:00 Kitchener Z modular or Zed modular, depending on what side of the border you're on. The company makes modular houses units and cited problems in the Canadian housing market as a major factor in the decision in the shutter of the facility. A modular construction company, sorry, Z modular, a division of Zeklman Industries announced Tuesday it would be closing. It's a factory in Manitou Drive. A news release from the company reads,
Starting point is 01:11:27 Public sector inefficiency in permitting an entitlement process reduces the inventory of land available for housing development and renders land cost too expensive for the developing and affordable of housing. The developer must either choose to pay too much for develop, develop, develop, develop, oh man, developable. Thank you, land or wait to. Take off the shades and learn to read. You know what? I got two headlines left.
Starting point is 01:11:50 The shades are staying. It's vacay time. And I'm going to be excited to be one of the listeners and just like constantly shoot things at twos. A developer must either choose to pay too much for land or wait too long to go through permitting and entitlement. So not only that, but basically the whole rest of the article continued along with those same things. subsequent projects have experienced similar significant inefficiencies. Finally, inflationary government overspending has driven operating costs to a level that
Starting point is 01:12:23 substantially increases project risk, which by the way, isn't technically the right PMI usage of the word risk, but whatever, we'll give it to them. These unfriendly business conditions ultimately led to the company's difficult decision to close the Kitchener factory and the regrettable job loss for teammates at the facility.
Starting point is 01:12:45 This whole thing basically says if the government will get the fuck out of the way, we can make a business go of this, but they don't so we can't. So we're closing. Correct. How many more examples of this we need to see before maybe we take a bit of our A few more. Heist, not nice. I'm going to show the videos that Tuesday can play by play this comment.
Starting point is 01:13:12 I mean, any longtime fan of the show knows that we, like covering heists. All of them. All the interesting ones. This is a pickup truck. Backing in the South Eminton Adults store. Okay?
Starting point is 01:13:23 This is an adult store two's. Now you're on the clock. Yes. So this is where you buy your sex toys and sex toys and like whips and funny shaped things to put inside various parts of you and presumably some videos with naked ladies and whatnot. And so they smashed through. They grab a couple specific things that it seemed like they knew right where they were.
Starting point is 01:13:49 And they just left. So, I mean, we cover the good heist. We cover the awesome ones. We cover the Yarmie Yager bobbleheads and the jewelry and the gold heist. I was like, you might as well to cover the sex store heist. Not because I want to, but just because I need to be. Literally, they walked in and grabbed two things. I'm like, why why can we have a better class of criminal?
Starting point is 01:14:16 you know like i just i don't i don't get it right those two things are worth less than the damage they did to their truck i know right they back into a store they go running in they got they got the gloves on they walk in they grab two things they're like talk crews would be so pissed off if you saw this right now oh my goodness community community notes too do we got happy news You do have happy news for this week. What do you have? Happy news. Here it comes.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Okay, let's see what you got. He's going to put on his Calgary. It is time for this guy to go on vacay. He waited the entire time. You're celebrating the Oilers losing in game seven, are you? There you are. There you are, folks. He's got Panthers on his Calgary Flames jersey.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Nobody cares. nobody cares. There's a few flames fan who care. We're all very, very happy, Sean. All right. Here's the decibel meter one of the many times that the Panthers scored. It goes up to like, what was it, like 190 decibels?
Starting point is 01:15:34 That's insane. All right? Here, look, look, I get the fact that, you know, it's a pretty tough game. This is your guy. This. this right here. Yep.
Starting point is 01:15:50 That net is open for business in every way that Canada is not. And he didn't score that goal. He didn't even show up for the last two games. How the hell did he get the Con Smith when he didn't score anything in the last two games? Honestly, he phoned it in like government of Canada and have a joke. If you're going to have the joke, at least pronounce it right to his con smite. Carry on. What else you got?
Starting point is 01:16:19 I know you've been, I know you've just been salivating all week. These are the kind of people that get happy about the Edmonton Oilers. The people who are still doing COVID tests, right? I thought this was great. I was going to play the let's go Oilers. But this, what he said was a picture of Donna McDavid.
Starting point is 01:16:51 The one nice thing about this, the other happy news that's built into this, is that there was a, $21 million $50.50. There was. So somebody ended up winning $10.8 million.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Which is almost as much as McDavid makes. It wasn't this guy. We bought tickets. It wasn't this guy. Okay. Community news. Community notes.

Putting on the foil is going to be at that place. There you go. And if you don't know who putting on the foil is, you should go check them out. You probably should. I think one of the community notes is our community, the mashup community, all you lovely people. Here's some dates you're going to want to keep in mind, okay?

We'll see if Mel's like you're not tuning into the national. Like we're going to let you on the show? No, no, no, not to be on the show to sit and comment and cause havoc. That's what I'd like to do, but we'll see.

Starting point is 01:18:53 Yeah, it was a rough. It was a rough Monday night. Let's just leave it. that that, you know, so close and yet so far away all over again. You know, I mean, I'd rather be sitting where the oilers are sitting, though, than the Calgary Flames. Can we all agree there? Like, I mean, your big news is you traded away Marks.
