Time Text
2015, so seven years ago, one of the things that we put forward, and I remember saying this a whole bunch of times, attack politics, divisive politics, negative, stirring up of hate and fear and differences.
The dirty secret is they work.
Even back in 2015, they work to get you elected.
Even back in 2015.
You can mobilize and get elected.
It's just what we're seeing.
Is that once you've used those methods to get elected, it becomes incredibly hard to govern responsibly for all citizens in bringing people together and getting big things done.
Because once you start...
You know, churning up anger, it just feeds on itself.
And if you're not continually throwing fresh raw meat at it, it will get away from you entirely.
And that's where we're seeing in Canada a certain number of people who stirred up that, starting to have it sort of turn back against them a little bit.
Can you...
First of all...
I'm not saying this to be conspiratorial or, like, conspiratorial.
I, at first, thought this was a deepfake.
I'm trying to locate the entirety of this clip.
I thought it was one of those deepfakes.
If for nothing else, set aside the absolute insane gaslighting, the insane...
I don't know if this is confession through projection or just...
Publicly admitting and then realizing he's admitted more than he intended to admit.
Because he does say it specifically about himself in 2015.
Set aside the tone of the tenor, I should say.
His voice.
I was like, what's up with the vocal fry?
When I got elected in 2015, so seven years ago, one of the things that we put forward...
Scratching his head.
Everything about this.
I'm just going to go to the chat and see if this is...
If this is...
I see FJT.
I tried to make a joke.
People said, what does FJT mean?
I was like, yeah, okay.
This is too much.
I remember saying this a whole bunch of times.
Attack politics, divisive politics, negative, stirring up of hate and fear and differences.
Those people are putting us all at risk.
They're putting at risk their own children, and they're putting at risk our children.
This is the guy now.
Reflecting.
Pontificating.
I say it's divisive, not divisive, but I don't care about that.
This is the guy pontificating on the politics of division.
The dirty secret is they work.
The dirty secret.
It's not a dirty secret.
It's a known secret.
You're just the dirty person for employing it.
I say that with full awareness of confession through projection because I don't like Justin Trudeau.
I don't say nice things about Justin Trudeau.
I believe there's substantive critique, but...
I tend to try to draw the line between Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party as a political party and Canadian citizens at large.
I tend not to fight with the citizens over the foibles of the leaders of their political parties.
Even back in 2015, they worked to get you elected.
You can do that.
You can mobilize and get elected.
Exactly like he just did in 2021.
Extremists, misogynists, racists, anti-science, anti-vaxxers.
They take up place.
How do we tolerate them?
Listen to this guy talking about the perils of the very politics of division that he just stirred up, shoveled heap of heap of gasoline onto within the last year.
I guess it's more than a year now.
Tabarnouche.
It's more than a year ago.
Of the last year.
It's just what we're seeing.
Is that once you've used those methods to get elected, it becomes incredibly hard to govern responsibly for all citizens.
No poopoo, Sherlock.
We're off the swear words.
I swore yesterday more than I should have.
I'm going to go back to clean talk.
No poopoo, Sherlock.
It becomes increasingly difficult to govern when you've alienated no less than 20% and maybe upwards of...
Half the population.
Yeah, it becomes very, very difficult to govern when you've called women who were vaccine, I'll say, jab reticent because they were afraid it might have an impact on their menstrual cycles, which it does, by the way.
Spoiler alert, CTV caught up with the news.
We're going to get there today.
It becomes very difficult when you've demonized people who don't want the government telling them what goes in their body.
Women who don't want the government telling them what goes in their body.
Black Canadians who don't want the government telling them what goes in their body.
Native, Indigenous, Latino, who have the same problems specifically because of what the government has been doing to these groups, to these citizens, to these demographics for the last hundred plus years.
Bringing people together and getting big things done because once you start...
You know, churning up anger.
It just feeds on itself.
And if you're not continually throwing fresh, raw meat at it, it will get away from you entirely.
And that's where we're seeing in Canada.
And now he's realized, by the way, at this point, that's this whole, like, holy crap, I've just described everything I've been doing.
I need to find a way to put this blame on somebody else right now.
That's what he does in the last section of this clip.
Holy crap, I've just described my M.O. From 2015 to 2022, now I've got to blame someone else and pass the block on to somebody else.
How do I do it?
Here.
A certain number of, you know, people who stirred up that, starting to have it sort of turn back against them a little bit.
Maybe he is talking about himself.
It's turning back against you, Monsieur Trudeau.
And pas à peu près commenté en français.
Call this.
Call in the bin.
Good afternoon, people.
Happy Friday.
It is Friday.
It is Friday.
I'm just reading a chat here.
I thought this was about me.
I appreciate.
I gesticulate with my hands when I talk.
I don't think I do it in a Gavin Newsom sort of like, what the hell are you doing with your hands?
Are you doing ninja kung fu?
I don't think I do it like Justin Trudeau.
I do it with purpose.
And also I do it because I'm unable to sit still.
It's Friday.
We're heading into a weekend, but what you do day in and day out is read the news, follow the news, and follow the law stuff.
The only difference between Friday and Monday, or Friday and Saturday, is whether or not you have a window of quiet at home when the kids are at school.
This week, school was cancelled Wednesday and Thursday due to Hurricane Ian.
Kids are back at school today, so I have some time.
How's everybody doing?
Let me bring up a super chat.
I was watching the EMA meeting today.
The balance is tipping against him having activated it.
That is the Emergency Measures Act meeting today.
For anybody who doesn't know, you've been living under a rock or not, you know, you're brand new to the channel.
The Emergency Measures Act, when Justin Trudeau invoked it in February of...
What's it?
February of this year.
It feels like a lifetime ago.
In February, March, whenever he...
It was February.
He invoked it in February.
To violently suppress the Ottawa convoy protest.
Justin Trudeau, the man who, just the day before yesterday, tweeted out how the Iranians cracked down on peaceful protest and its treatment of women is a violation of human rights, intolerable.
This is coming from the guy who literally invoked the Emergencies Act to violently suppress...
The most peaceful protests all go out and say Canada has ever seen and possibly the world.
January 6th, I don't think it was defined by violence.
I don't think it was an insurrection.
I think it was a protest that got out of hand in certain pockets.
Whether or not January 6th is defined by the violence that the media has defined it by, more or less up for grabs.
The Ottawa protest was three weeks, three and a half weeks, of the most peaceful, orderly protest, though I have ever seen.
In my life, shoveling the sidewalk, salting the sidewalk, feeding the homeless, cleaning up the streets, cleaning up garbage.
Oh, but there was honking.
There was honking for five or seven days at the beginning.
Traumatized.
Terrible.
Justin Trudeau lectures Iran for cracking down on violent protests and abusing of female protesters in particular.
Justin Trudeau violently cracked down, invoked the Emergency Measures Act.
It is the...
What followed the War Measures Act?
To violently suppress the most peaceful protest.
In so doing, violently assaulted veterans, protesters, women.
At one point, the RCMP accidentally discharged a tear gun canister at the leg of a credentialed journalist, point blank.
Arrested Tamara Lich, detained her for two and a half weeks on mischief charges before release.
This guy now is talking about the politics of division?
It works so well.
So now they're having the hearings as to whether or not it was justified to have invoked the Emergency Measures Act.
And it's not going to go well.
The RCMP has come out and confirmed that they weren't consulted.
They wouldn't have asked for it.
They didn't need it.
They had all the measures in the world that they needed to quell this protest.
Mark Mendocino, or Mendocino, whatever his last name is, lied in questioning, in saying that the RCMP specifically asked for it.
Lied about there being threats of a certain type of assault of a sexual nature on women walking around Ottawa.
Like the truckers were just walking around groping people as though they're, you know, as though there's someone else who was accused of groping a reporter back in 2000 and apologized for it, that being Justin Trudeau.
So anyways, they're having the hearing now.
It's not going to go well.
It's not a coincidence.
Although maybe it is, but it's not.
At this time.
They're compiling evidence.
They're compiling websites to document the protests, to show how peaceful they truly were, how absolutely unnecessary invoking the Emergencies Act was, how absolutely abusive it was, how absolutely shredding of the very fabric of Canadian society its impact was.
Fox Fox says RCMP, no, that was United Nations soldiers.
I saw those rumors, can't substantiate them, but I know that I saw RCMP, Sudbury Police.
What is it called in Quebec?
Sûreté de Québec, OPP.
You had, like, multiple branches of police in Ottawa with stun grenades, with batons, pepper spray, snipers on roofs, drones in the sky, armored vehicles.
Justin Trudeau comes out and lectures Iran on violently cracking down on peaceful protests with an emphasis on abusing female protesters.
Oh, my goodness.
So anyhow, it's not going to go well for them.
We're going to go to Rumble.
I should have checked if we're live there.
We're going to go to Rumble in a few minutes.
We'll just get a start over here.
Let me see where we are on Rumble.
I know that we're on Rumble.
Son of a bee sting.
Where is it?
Rosemary Barton.
That's not it.
I'm going to open up a new window just to make sure that we're live.
We are live.
Booyakasha.
I see it.
Sweet.
On the menu tonight.
Today.
Pun intended.
The New York City mayor is going plant-based meals at hospitals.
Three hospitals in New York City now.
Now offer as the default option plant-based meals because the new crisis of the day is meat, apparently.
Bad for the environment, bad for the body.
So New York City governor or mayor, Adams, who I'm sure has Bigger fish to fry.
Bigger steaks to grill.
Pun intended.
With all the problems that are going on in New York now, the emphasis is on plant-based meals and what more vulnerable group to target to give them the default option, which it starts as a default option and then it just ends up as the option.
Hospitals.
We'll get there.
This video that's been making the rounds of a Canadian actress who got Bell's palsy.
Within two weeks of a certain other medical intervention.
And then put out a video about it.
This is last year.
People are seeing the video for the first time now.
I saw the video for the first time now, but it's an older video.
We're going to go through that video.
And we're going to go through the ideology, the pure indoctrination that has to go on in somebody's brain.
Where they say, this happened to me.
Nobody's a doctor here.
She's making the statements.
And I do it again.
Because it's what we have to do.
We'll get there.
Politicizing Hurricane Ian, it's outrageous.
It's shameless.
And CTV News is catching up to the news.
Those racist, misogynist, anti-vaxxer extremists who were reluctant to take this thing, well, it seems that some of their concerns might be actually being proven in real time.
Let's start with, I think, what is the least interesting story of the day.
Changing the diet, people.
Because meat is bad.
We should all be eating bugs.
We should be very happy about it.
High in protein, low in cholesterol, and good on the environment.
Just, you know, go under your fridge and sweep out tonight's dinner.
That is what the future holds, and it looks beautiful.
Mayor Adams, New York City, and H&H CEO Katz announced successful rollout and expansion of plant-based meals.
As default option, For patients in New York City public hospitals.
If you've ever had a captive audience, a hospital in New York is your captive audience.
Let's start with them, and it'll be very hard for them to fight back.
The lobby, their lobby power is going to be very weak.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Let me see if we're looking at the same thing.
We are.
Good.
Oh, gosh.
And New York City Health and Hospital CEO Director Mitchell H. Cassidy announced...
That culturally diverse...
Sorry, I didn't realize quite how bad this was based on the tweet.
Culturally diverse plant-based meals are now the primary dinner options for inpatients at H&H, whatever, hospitals.
The dinner program expands on the healthcare system's successful plant-based lunch default program launched in March of this year, which now boasts a 95% satisfaction rate.
Do you know what I would guarantee is a falsified statistic?
Or at the very least, a highly selective statistic?
A highly manipulated statistic.
The 95% satisfaction rate.
Do you know why?
Because even when you had meat on the menu, I don't think you have a 95% satisfaction rate of hospital meals in general.
It's 95. It looks delicious.
Can I get an actual picture from a hospital?
This strikes me as being like, you know, the Big Mac as advertised on the sign and show me the real picture.
When it comes to preventing diet-related chronic disease, if they're in the hospital, something tells me that if this were the cause of it, it might be too late.
But something tells me.
I'm no doctor.
I'm just a lawyer with half a brain.
The diet-related chronic disease, I would venture a guess.
Has much less to do with meat-based meals and has much more to do with sugars, highly processed foods, salted foods.
I would venture a guess it has to do with people drinking Coca-Cola like it's water because Coca-Cola oftentimes is actually cheaper than water.
I would bet it has to do with Twinkies and Joe Louie's and Mae West's and maybe I don't even know if anybody knows.
Highly processed, highly refined sugars.
Food that is all typically the same color because of its processed nature.
Then meat.
Then steak.
Then beef.
Then chicken.
There's a growing recognition that it's in our...
It's not an idea.
Oh, this was in the tweet.
Since January, we've introduced plant-based Fridays.
Plant...
Sorry, plant-powered Fridays.
Someone thought that up.
And notice it's capital P's here.
Plant-powered.
Let's see what that means.
Into schools, introduced fresh produce into the nation's only municipal emergency food system and expanded the plant-based lifestyle medicine clinics to public hospitals across the five boroughs.
Now we are proud to announce the successful rollout and expansion of default plant-based lunch and dinner.
At all the H&H sites.
The transformative program is already changing lives, empowering patients to take control of their health and further cementing New York as a leader in preventative medicine.
Holy crab apples.
Food is medicine, especially in our moments of sickness.
Yeah, that's right.
Someone's in the hospital.
You want to make sure that they're not getting the most nutrient-packed meals.
They're getting plant-based meals.
How are you going to substitute for the proteins, the fats that you need from meats?
Fava beans, people.
Fava beans and couscous or hummus.
It'll be hummus.
Okay, chickpeas is what I'm looking for.
Priorities seem to be misapplied.
My wife, I made this joke during the Locals Exclusive livestream yesterday.
My wife is a neuroscientist.
I think many of you know that already.
And at the risk of misquoting her, it is a scientific fact that the brain requires certain types of proteins which can really tend to only be, what's the word I'm looking for?
Efficiently obtained through meats.
Children's development, they require certain proteins for brain development that you can't get from chickpeas or fava beans.
And that is why meat has been an integral part In the physiological, intellectual development of humans.
There's a reason.
It's difficult to get the required proteins when you leave a diet that includes meat.
And there's a reason why.
There tends to be a texture, a general hue to veganism in general.
But the idea that meats and the proteins in meat are fundamentally unhealthy.
And the fundamentally unhealthy part of a diet, it is the Band-Aid solution to a deep laceration.
This is Eric Adams saying, is it Eric Adams?
It's Mayor Adams.
People are drinking Coca-Cola, Big Gulps, Slurpees, sugar, processed food, crap, through and through.
Arfix, plant-based.
And what is that going to look like?
Has anyone ever looked at the ingredients of some of these plant-based items?
Barnes and I just talked about it last, was it last Sunday or the Sunday before?
Some of these plant-based items, the things that are in them, oils, processed products, these plant-based items are not necessarily any healthier and oftentimes less healthy than meat items.
But it sounds so good.
Give it a...
A think tank solution.
Plant powered nutrition.
Capital P. Capital PN.
It's beautiful.
But yeah, they are fighting to get out of the hospital.
There's no doubt about that.
And now they're going into hospital.
It's going to be the default.
And we've seen over the last two years, it is default until the government says, default is now permanent.
The mask was optional.
Until the government said it wasn't.
It starts off optional, it starts off as a default, and then it just becomes the only option.
