We have to do like a montage of screen grabs from the first to the most recent.
The evolution of the hair.
It is.
Evolution of hair as it keeps growing.
Let's see.
Oh, oh.
So I still see the Pantellus avatar.
Yeah, I think it takes a delay.
It takes a few seconds.
Luckily, we're recording.
Poseidon, you'll let me know if...
Oh, there we go.
Hold on.
Booyah!
Okay.
Sorry, my phone is going to turn my phone off.
I guess we should tell everybody what the format for the day.
This is your podcast.
This is going to go on your channel tomorrow.
And I said as a fun thing, let's see if we can simultaneously live stream it across platforms.
We've stuck with Rumble for the time.
Well, we're going to stream it everywhere at the same time.
And then we realized most of the restream options online.
They're not compatible with Rumble, Locals, all that stuff.
So I made it nearly impossible.
So let's go to one stream.
The most important and the one that truly supports free speech.
We got the dog.
I brought the dog into Poseidon's studio.
He's got a lot to talk about.
He can't see, is the thing.
He can't see, and I'm going to start this podcast by venting about something that happened last night.
And I told you coming in here, I'm walking the dog at like 9.30 at night.
And he's blind, but not that anybody knows that he's blind by looking at him.
He hears someone from behind us.
We stop.
The dog looks.
There's an elderly couple walking up the street.
And I thought they wanted to pet the dog.
They walk up to me, and the woman walks up to me and then says, in French, not that it matters, says, Pouvez-vous tirer sur votre laisse?
Can you pull on your leash?
Can you tighten your leash?
For this dog, a 12-pound West Highland Terrier.
And I thought she was joking.
And I go, non.
And then the husband says, On vous avez donné tout le trottoir.
We gave you the entire sidewalk.
And I said, you guys are crazy.
I said in French, vous êtes complètement fou.
I don't know if that's grammatically correct.
So you were taking up the entire sidewalk?
This is a residential area.
I'm walking the dog who's a 12-pound Westie.
And I'm trying to think, and I'm thinking in real time, maybe she's been viciously attacked by a dog and she's morbidly terrified of a 12-pound Westie.
Perhaps.
If that's the case, I think that one's normal reaction would be to cross the street and then not approach me to tell me that, Tighten my dog's leash.
It didn't go more than five.
How much tighter can you get?
It doesn't really go far.
The leash goes five feet.
Six feet is the legal limit.
It's a retractable leash.
And then the husband says, I gave you the whole sidewalk.
The purpose of being in public is to fight over the sidewalk space if someone has a fear of tiny, harmless dogs.
He doesn't even bite.
You couldn't get him to bite if you tried.
I have a dog like that.
I'm frustrated about this incident because I found it symbolic of maybe what's going on not just in Canada because we've had our run-ins with people who don't like dogs in the States.
In general, people are angry.
People are angry and people seem to be petty tyrants who think that your freedoms end where their irrational fears begin.
Everyone's a victim of something.
I was just thinking if anyone had recorded that, would I look like the asshole or would I look like...
I don't know what I would look like.
But she's like, can you tighten up your leash?
And I just said, no.
Like, you have to be crazy.
Can you tighten your...
No one's ever told me that.
Then again, I'm a giant.
People...
This is what I was also thinking.
If I were six foot tall, tattoos, walking a pit bull, nobody would think that, like, I'm going to be a person that you'd want to tell them to tighten up your leash on your dog.
They'd be like, nice dog, sir!
I look friendly.
I look to...
What's the word?
Oh my goodness.
You're very happy-go-lucky.
Non-confrontational, so I'm an easy guy to pick on and abuse.
They want to give you a wedgie.
I did not swear.
I just said non, and vous êtes complètement fou.
You're absolutely crazy.
How are you living this week?
This is an intense week.
I've been seeing you go crazy on Twitter.
I too have jumped in, I must admit.
I'm not going to put all the blame on you.
People are...
I said it about...
The guy who looks like a cartoon bear doctor that doesn't want to...
Oh, Dr. Peter Hotez.
Not just a bear doctor, he looks...
His go-to pose is kind of crazy.
If you notice all of his screen grabs, and I don't judge people for it, it's just humorous that he's got this smile and he's always tilting his forehead forward in those screen grabs or images.
Peter Hotez.
Is he a real scientist?
He's a real scientist.
Do you know why I'm asking though?
Because he comes off as a propagandist on Twitter?
He did an interview.
He's doing an interview with, what's that guy?
Fucking Mehdi.
Mehdi Hassan of MSNBC.
He's like what a dumb person would think a smart newscaster would be like because he has an accent, but everything he says is stupid.
So he's doing an interview with him, and he's at his house, the scientist, and he's wearing a fucking lab coat.
You're in your basement.
Why do you have a lab coat?
None of this makes any sense.
It makes sense because it's performative rubbish.
Mehdi Hasan, he utterly ignores me now on Twitter after having recognized me at one point in time because I give him a bit of a hard time because he deserves it.
Mehdi Hasan, MSNBC propagandist, bearing in mind MSNBC had Rachel Maddow coming out and saying a two-minute impassioned speech telling everyone to go get jabbed.
Get boosted if you're not jabbed.
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, saying the vaccines are great.
They block transmission.
If you get it, you're...
This is the guy that's going to interview Dr. Peter Hotez as to the jab efficacy and, you know, give him the hard time that RFK or Joe Rogan might give him in an adversarial interview?
Why can't we just tell the truth?
Why can't we be exposed to questioning?
Well, that's already one step ahead.
How about just open dialogue from...
Call it adversarial or just call it...
Scrutinizing.
Mehdi Hassan, one of his questions, had a 30-second preface to it.
We know that vaccines work.
These anti-vax nutters.
Not anti-vax nutters.
Anti-vax nut.
I think it's something wrong.
That's how he prefaces a question as to whether or not this jab worked.
Yeah, vaccines work.
Actual vaccines that have gone through actual rigorous testing, decades of safety monitoring.
Those vaccines work.
I cut my finger metal detecting.
I got a tetanus shot.
They offered me a shingles vaccine because I got shingles at the age of 42. I'm not taking that for other reasons.
Is the shingles vaccine, you get that after you get shingles or before?
Shouldn't you get that before?
They say before ideally, but you're not supposed to get it before like 60 because most people are not at risk for shingles.
But then once you got the shingles.
Well then once you got the shingles.
What the hell is the point of getting it?
No, I think the reasoning there is that you're more susceptible to get a relapse.
And so the jibby jab might, you know, actually.
That I don't know about.
All that says, as unbearable as shingles was, at this point in time, it's true.
Now I no longer trust anything.
For the adverse reactions from whatever jab, at some point you do take your...
Let's just talk about it.
Why can't we have open dialogue?
What is this war?
You can't have an open dialogue because...
Again, I just want to say something about the lab coat guy.
So then I saw that it was becoming a big thing this week.
And then some people were...
There was a picture of him, the bear cartoon rat guy.
And next to him was a picture of...
Kennedy and Rogan.
And they were, you know, hugging each other, being like, hello.
And they said, which one of these people would you trust with your health?
And I replied where I thought it was a logical thing.
I said, the healthy ones.
One of them looks like a goddamn goblin.
The other two are like 50 to 70 years old and they look fine.
In fairness, I did not retweet that particular meme because it's superficial and easily rebutted.
Dr. Heal Thyself has been an old thing.
It's not because they don't follow their own advice that their advice is not necessarily good.
Lawyers.
But I just said, the question was, who would you prefer?
Health advice from him, I would take from the healthy one.
I would prefer basketball advice from a basketball player.
RFK Jr., despite his vocal issue, is wickedly healthy.
I heard he got that because he was a good opera singer.
Is this true?
One day I'm going to have RFK on the channel.
I'm going to ask him how he got it because there's some diverging theories as to how he got it.
But he's 69 years old.
He's in wildly good shape.
Rogan, whether or not you want to look like a Rogan in life, he's in wildly good shape as well.
Rogan's fine.
Well, Hotez, and I don't know who saw Peter Hotez on Rogan once upon a time, you know, talking about, I don't exercise, I don't eat well, I don't take vitamins, but the be-all and end-all to being healthy is getting jabbed and vaccinated and et cetera, et cetera.
I'm not a scientist.
I don't think that's how that works.
I mean, I'm not a scientist.
I don't think that's how it works either, but I'm just an idiot lawyer who's going to make my own medical decisions after having listened to so-called experts on both ends, and I'll come to my own conclusion.
After having sought second, third, fourth opinions.
I use the Hulk Hogan method.
I just, you know, say my prayers, take my vitamins, and represent America.
We all...
I have not watched Hulk Hogan to know that, to get that.
Look, we all do the healthy things, and we all have our vices in terms of, like, Red Bull or alcohol or red meat.
Coffee.
Well, coffee without the cream and sugar, I think, is good.
I don't have the sugar in it, but I put some of that cream.
I'm going to be honest with you.
The cream's got fat.
It's got sugar in it.
But the Peter Hotez debate, Hotez was on Joe Rogan.
His performance or his appearance raised more questions than answers that it resolved in my mind.
I listened to it.
RFK comes on, and whether or not he's a doctor, this is what people don't understand.
Lawyers are not experts.
That doesn't preclude them from having experts appear in files, question experts, cross-examine experts, and make arguments based on the expertise and the cross-examination of the counter-expertise.
Imagine a judge said, well, your lawyer, you're not an expert.
I'm not going to listen to anything you have to say.
You're not in a position to question an expert.
You're not an expert.
How can a non-expert question an expert?
The idea that you have to be, I don't know, formally trained in order to think critically, in order to do your own research, not in the superficial way, as a lawyer does in a file to understand something and understand the experts themselves, the idea that you can't have an opinion unless you're a credentialed expert, it's great.
Go ahead and just do that.
And then try to convince yourself, That credentialed experts don't differ on a great many things.
Eggs, bread, the food pyramid.
Toothpaste.
I've watched those commercials.
They don't all agree.
These dentists don't all agree.
I'm trying to think of the most obvious examples.
Red meat, cholesterol.
I mean, these things, eggs.
They said at one point eggs were terrible for you.
Eggs are awesome for you.
Then they said eggs were great for you.
Then when people start dropping dead of heart attacks in recent times, they say, oh yeah, eggs can cause strokes.
I don't think it's the eggs that cause those strokes.
He's not only entitled to have an opinion, his opinion should be respected until proven to the contrary.
And this guy says, don't respect him.
He's a quack, but I won't engage.
I won't even entertain with a public debate because he's a quack and I don't have to...
Interact with the rabble.
I'll just go to Twitter and do it there where nobody can force me to answer a question in real time and I can pick and choose what tweets I respond to.
So this is the part of it that I really find...
I don't know if the word is suspicious, but it pisses me off.
We trust you.
You're a scientist.
You get funded, sometimes publicly, sometimes privately.
It doesn't matter.
But you're performing research and we trust you that you're going to do to the best of your abilities.
So at the end of the day, since we're not the ones doing it, all we want are some answers.
Hey, explain this to me.
How does this work?
Right?
There's a lot that I understand, so I ask people that are smarter than me who understand it.
How does that work?
That's all people are saying.
Alright, so why is it like this?
Why are the stats saying one thing and he doesn't want to engage?
He goes, no, just listen to me.
And he's using doublespeak and a lot of doublespeak because he's telling you one thing when you can see the opposite.
They're saying things like, no, there's no adverse effects.
When there's lists of adverse effects, there's people that, there's common knowledge, people that you know that have had it.
So it's like, why lie to that extent?
Just be like, yeah.
It could.
There's some dangers.
Or, you know, it works more than it doesn't.
Be honest about it.
Don't fucking just go out there and be like, everything that you're experiencing is imaginary.
They cannot, and I say they, some people, it seems to be ideologically driven now, cannot admit that they were wrong because they know how they would weaponize their ideological adversary's admission of wrongness.
They would always hold it against them.
They would use it to discredit them to the core.
And so they are incapable of admitting that they were wrong.
You go through Dr. Peter Hotez's Twitter timeline, it's an orgy of wrongness.
He was saying lockdown, lockdown everything in the early stages, even though lockdowns have never been used to combat the virus.
I saw him with goggles and like 47 masks.
That was him, right?
No, that was Nassim, somebody else.
That was somebody else who said Joe Rogan's audience is so dumb that they wouldn't know who won the debate.
This guy was dressed like a goddamn astronaut.
Oh, and his explanation is, well, the science has changed.
What we know now, we didn't know then.
Liar.
First of all, the guy was wearing two masks and goggles.
Ski goggles.
And he says, well, we didn't know anything.
We didn't know back then.
Look, I'm going to be honest.
Peak pandemic.
If I was a stewardess, an air waitress, if you will, and I see this guy walk in, dressed like him, get the fuck off the plane.
This is a lunatic.
This is a lunatic.
In fairness, people were panicking.
People were behaving absolutely irrationally.
Then just say it.
I panicked.
It was irrational.
And I recognize that now.
I said it.
I panicked a lot in the beginning.
And that will preclude this person from making any decisions during times of crisis or urgency in the future.
He's prone to panic.
He's prone to making irrational decisions.
Good.
We're all weak.
We're not against him.
But you're not making decisions in the future.
His explanation?
We know things now that we didn't know then.
Bullshit.
Because back then, I remember the meme of the day.
They were showing the warning on these stupid white and blue masks.
They do not protect against...
Coronavirus.
I'll do you one better.
I remember on this very podcast, in the beginning when stuff started to come out, those whistleblowers in China, and I was like, yeah, everything points to it being from that lab in Wuhan.
And then being called an idiot and a propagandist, a conspiracy theorist, and then now it's like, yeah, so we've got enough evidence to...
To know that it actually does come from Wuhan.
So where are the apologies?
Apologies?
They pretend like it never happened.
The Lancet, the journal.
I'm not a detective, and my investigation apparently was way better than everyone else's.
First of all, there's an expression like an expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less, and I love it because it's great.
They forget how to think critically.
The Lancet, that reputable journal, in what month was it?
Give or take 2020, late 2020, was saying...
The theories that this originated in a lab in China are a conspiracy theory, and they're actually hampering our ability to fight it.
First of all, bullshit, because if you don't know where it comes from, and if it comes from something man-made, that would radically change your approach to treating it.
18 months later, The Lancet writes an article saying, the origins of COVID, having originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, has always been a perfectly plausible theory.
Same journal, 18 months apart, admittedly different authors.
But it's the doublespeak.
You say A and not A and you'll always be right.
When Fauci said masks are useless, oh, that was a lie.
I just didn't want to run on the masks.
Now put on a freaking bandana and it's going to help you even though they knew that it didn't.
But then you got the Hotezes who went along with lockdowns, masking people, vaccinating kids.
He was saying vaccinate kids back in the day.
And now he's changed his tune.
Well, not really.
Now he's posting more bullcrap.
In response to the refusal to debate Joe Rogan, he posted an article today saying COVID was a leading cause of death among children.
Retweets it.
Excuse me?
Then you go read the article.
Allegedly, even assuming the article is true, the eighth leading cause of death of children.
Children don't really die of things, you know, oftentimes, natural things.
Eighth leading cause of death, even assuming the article is true.
And it includes children aged 15 to 19. Even assuming that.
We know now, despite having been told not at the time, they were not distinguishing between hospitalized with COVID versus hospitalized from COVID.
And my obvious question to that would be, okay, Dr. Hotez.
So a kid with leukemia?
That happened in Alberta.
Oh, yeah, I remember, I remember.
And once you know that it happened once, that they included a death with COVID, not from COVID, in order to inflate those numbers to instill maximum fear.
Once you know they did it once, they did it more than once.
In Florida, there was a dude who died in a motorcycle accident and they chalked it up to COVID because I guess they tested his corpse when he came in.
I'm trying not to be glib about it.
But I do remember when this stuff started happening.
At first, I was like, okay, it's exaggerated.
It's not real.
And then when that premier...
Remember the health expert in Alberta?
She apologized.
Dina Hinshaw.
She's like, my bad.
I'm sorry for lying.
I was like, oh, this is crazy.
Why would you lie?
Just for the curse of knowledge for those who don't know the story.
There's an article that comes out.
Alberta's 14-year-old teenager dies from COVID.
Alberta's youngest victim yet.
His sister came out and said, what the F are you taught?
She'd have said it much more politely.
My brother had stage 4 brain cancer, was in a coma.
And then they said, you're a liar, you're not the sister?
Yeah, there was a whole online thing there.
He said, my brother had stage 4 cancer, was in a coma, and you tested him two days before he died and he happened to test positive.
You're liars.
Dina Hinshaw comes out afterwards and says, oh, we're sorry we made a mistake.
We're sorry for the extra grief that we caused the family.
Yeah, by politicizing and weaponizing the death of their 14-year-old sibling and son.
But then you had Hochul out of New York coming out at one point saying, we haven't been distinguishing between hospitalized with COVID versus hospitalized from COVID.
This is two years into the flipping pandemic.
You had Kieran Moore out of Ontario saying the same thing.
And then I'm thinking, Dr. Hotez, if they weren't distinguishing between hospitalized with versus hospitalized from, are you telling me that they were distinguishing death with versus death from?
And if that's going to be the position...
How do you account for the fact that we know that they wrongly attributed multiple deaths to COVID because the numbers are useless now that you screw everything up?
Not just useless.
Weaponized.
But Hotez doesn't want to sit down and talk about it.
He wants to demonize everybody else and then he wants to play victim because people being who they are and some of them are less...
Exercising good judgment.
Some of them are mean.
Someone's showing up at his house to ask him.
The video thing was a minute long.
It wasn't the worst, but I was against it because I don't like the idea of showing up at someone's house.
Fuck off.
I'm not for that.
There is no polite way to show up at someone's house.
I'm with you.
At least we're in agreement there.
Here's the thing that always gets me.
I kind of understand why...
He's so defensive and he still kind of pushes a lot of bullshit because it's his identity.
He was going for this.
He doesn't want to show people he was wrong, that he didn't know what he was talking about, that he panicked.
I get it.
What I don't understand are when I see regular people who have facts in front of them and they're like, yeah, but MSNBC is telling me that the sky is red.
I know, but if you just look, if you just pick your head up, look outside, tilt your head up, you see that it's blue.
I see that, but it's red because they told me it's red.
This is what bugs me.
Why are people not exercising common sense?
It's infuriating.
Well, Mark Twain, it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled.
Not just a question of their own ego.
I say this because I've known a few young kids, and I'll call them kids 15 to 19, who've gotten myocarditis.
Can you imagine being their parents and then having to say, holy shit, I may have...
Harmed the very one I was intended to protect in life?
And then what are you going to say?
Yeah, I made a mistake by shortening my son's life by 20 years?
Potentially?
I mean, there's no way to rationalize that.
The only way to deal with that is to push it deep down and pretend you did the best you could and you did nothing wrong.
And not that you did anything wrong, but you made no mistakes.
No one did that on purpose.
They all thought, okay, this is what they're telling me.
But how do you come to grips with that?
Whether or not I've harmed myself by getting those two jabs, There's certain decisions I didn't make.
Fingers crossed.
Did you get sick at all after?
I didn't get sick at all.
I took both jabs.
The day I got the second one, I was fatigued and took a nap.
Now, whether or not that's a sign of a heartache...
Look, I've been running and I've been doing all my extreme stuff.
I was out there working all night.
You know why?
Because I'm a goddamn man.
No, but some people...
And I know them.
Chest pains for five days.
I'm like, dude, go to the fucking hospital.
I'm starting to swear again.
Go to the hospital and get an EKG.
But this is well after the fact.
There would be no...
I don't think there would be any way of verifying whether or not it was myocarditis.
These are, like, my friends my age.
I have another friend, had another friend, dropped dead in, I won't gender them to be totally anonymous, dropped dead in their sleep.
Everybody knows.
Within the community, everybody's talking about it privately.
But nobody dares to say it publicly.
Oh, hey, it's just things, these things, they do just happen.
I had a comic on at the time right after and she was nervous about talking about it.
But then on the show, she's like, fuck it, I'm going to say it.
She got a big blood clot right after, and they saved her good things.
She went to the hospital.
What the fuck is this?
Her arms started getting swollen.
Yeah, all that.
And then she was scared to talk about it, because at the time, every time you talk, but even if it was you who suffered something, they'd be like, oh, you're crazy.
It's not true.
It's random.
Let me anecdotally.
I had fans who were messaging me in the beginning when they started talking about women's menstrual cycles.
And there was people saying, it lies, it doesn't affect the menstrual cycle.
And then I remember doing a live show in Quebec, stand-up.
I get off stage, I'm talking, and some fans were like, yeah, by the way, you know when you were talking about that?
Thank you for bringing that up.
And it was three women.
And we all had our cycles affected, but every time someone says it, it's like, it's fucking crazy, it's not true, you're lying, you know what you're talking about, but it's happening to all kinds of women.
It's infuriating.
They said it was conspiracy theory that demonized it.
You're a misogynist, by the way.
Justin Trudeau said anti-vaxxers, bigots, misogynists, whatever.
I don't listen to what extremists say, though.
Well, yeah, that's it.
And women were saying it at the time.
Anyone who hates black people, I don't listen to their opinions.
I hate you.
I have an unhealthy disdain for Trudeau, among other politicians.
Also, I tweeted, just as a joke, I said, who do you hate?
And there's no chance of ever...
Them being redeemable in your eyes, like even if you talk with them.
And I thought it was going to be something like a fictional character.
I was thinking of Thanos.
Overwhelmingly, it was Trudeau.
Everybody hates him.
We have to recognize that hatred is a consuming force and we should not even justify it in ourselves.
Women complaining about the menstrual cycle and we were told conspiracy theory in 2020.
The Guardian, I think it was the Guardian article, says no evidence to suggest it.
You go on the UK, the government.uk website.
On the one hand, they were saying safe and effective for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
And then on another site, on the exact same gov.uk webpage, it said we do not have sufficient data to make safety claims as it relates to pregnant and breastfeeding women.
And then nonetheless, jacking them up with it.
So then how do you sue someone when they're going to be like, well, no, we said it's not safe.
And then it's like, yeah, but you also had this page that said it is safe.
Isn't that crazy?
You couldn't sue them anyhow because they got immunity from all liability for this.
And why Anthony Housefather said it best.
Well, they were, you know, cutting corners on research and cutting corners on safety and cutting corners on production, and they weren't going to bring it to market without immunity.
So we, you know, the world needed a vaccine, so we gave them everything they wanted, and they gave us this shitty shot.
Housefather, odd name, odd behavior.
Anthony Housefather, I loathe as well.
I mean, they're just, you try to give them the benefit of the doubt.
They used us as guinea pigs.
But just to get back to the periods.
Anecdotally, I know an elderly friend, best friend, died, and nobody even knew.
Just died in the tub.
And then at the funeral, I was like, oh yeah, well, she got jabbed the day before.
I was like, oh, didn't know that.
A couple of friends, chest pains.
A couple of best friends, friends, myocarditis.
Jimmy Dore!
Do you understand that...
Justin Bieber got Ramsey Hunt syndrome.
I forgot about Bieber.
And his wife had a blood clot in her brain within three months of each other.
Do you remember that with Bieber, doggie?
When Bieber got Ramsey Hunt.
And his wife, Poseidon, if you can fact check in real time, it was either a blood clot on the brain or a stroke.
The both of them, within three months, I'd like to know what batch they got.
Because there's this thing, Bad Batch, for those who don't know, you can go check by batch number.
The adverse reactions reported.
Bieber and who, sorry?
Bieber, his wife.
I don't remember what his wife's name is.
One of the Baldwins.
I'm going to see it there.
Either way, you'll see it.
They both suffered well-known adverse reactions within three months of each other, which one could reasonably hypothesize.
There's this thing called Bad Batch.
If you know your batch number, you can go look it up.
Some batches have had reports of 250 deaths.
I'm hoping mine was placebo.
Some people say, well, this is just stratification.
No, when people file their VAERS reports, it's not like they ask each other, hey, guy, which batch did you get?
When it randomly turns out that certain batches were particularly toxic, you can find an explanation that's innocuous that still says it's safe and effective, or you can use the functioning part of your brain and realize something is up with production.
Something was up.
Anyhow.
Well, this would happen.
Again, I'm not going to demonize everything because mistakes were made.
It was a rush thing.
Everyone was panicking.
I don't think it's done on purpose.
The thing that is done on purpose, though, is hiding information.
That's what bugs me.
I know there will be people who think it was done on purpose.
It's depopulation.
It's Bill Gates.
Here's the thing.
I've thought about that because I like entertaining fun ideas.
There are so many...
Because I know some people who work in pharmaceuticals.
There are so many people working and having a certain job.
Something, if anyone had brought that up...
From the scientists, it would have leaked.
Someone would have said something.
It's too vast for that.
However, do they want to make money?
Fuck yeah.
So they were probably pushing these people.
Hey, are you sure?
Is it all right?
Well, it kind of works.
All right, push it the fuck out.
So that I get.
But depopulate on purpose.
Depopulation.
By mistake, you could fuck us.
Or you discover it's bad, but you don't give up.
Yeah, they've done that before.
It's a convenient side effect, so to speak.
I don't subscribe to the deliberate depopulation.
I do think it was hijacked.
I mean, once you've conditioned a society to say, I will sit in my house for five and a half months, even though it's scientifically unjustifiable, just to remind us of the severity of the situation, once you get people to do that, well, my goodness, there's literally nothing you couldn't get the government to do.
So power grab, money grab.
And it illustrates, you know, how quickly a society can degenerate into madness and can justify the unjustifiable to themselves to allow them to do the unjustifiable to others.
But I mean, the truth is coming out, but not fast enough because you won't get a Peter Hotez to sit down and be made a fool of by someone who's not an expert, but who knows how to analyze numbers.
I had on my channel, Edward Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
And the results from other methods, like go look at funeral homes, go look at coffin sales, and go look at actual, what do they call them, the insurance claims.
From there you can get some data because they're going to remain accurate because their bottom line relies on them giving insurance, charging proper claims.
The government has no incentive to the truth because it oftentimes will result in them being yeeted from power.
Except for here, apparently nobody cares.
Oh, dude, they had the by-elections.
Maxime Bernier did not win in the riding in which he was running.
Of course not.
Well, he got 18% of the vote, but the other conservative got 60%.
Westmount went to Bob Ganey's daughter.
Ooh, I like Bob Ganey.
I don't know enough about his daughter to have a position, other than the fact that she's running with the Liberals.
Yeah, but you have to understand, it's...
It's more of historic.
I don't think it's because she likes Trudeau.
I think it's historic because of historic liberals.
Again, the outcome is the same.
She is running for supporting the destroyer of Canada.
He is the destroyer of Canada.
He is the destroyer of Canada.
The irony is that the NDP ran.
They put Jagmeet Singh's face up next to the other candidate.
Conservatives, Kaminsky, in my writing, put up Pierre Poilievre on his billboards.
Ganey, you didn't see a picture of Trudeau.
People don't like him.
Everybody knows that people don't like him.
Just don't remind us as to who we're voting for and we'll do it anyhow.
I was saying they could have put my Winston on.
So long as they put Winston's name on a billboard with no picture so that people are like, I don't care if he's a dog.
I'm going to vote for him anyhow.
A liberal would get elected in Westbound.
50.8% of the vote.
But that's it.
I mean, I don't know how much people have to suffer before they decide to finally acknowledge, okay, I've lost enough and I'm going to cut my losses now and make a change.
Well, this economy, something needs to happen.
There needs to be a jolt.
We need to cut taxes.
Cut this dumb spending on other people's wars.
There's a lot of shit happening right now.
Can you imagine?
We don't have enough money in Canada to support healthcare.
It's dilapidated.
They used the frailty of the healthcare system to justify lockdowns, curfews, and all the rest.
When in reality, it's been a problem for decades.
In 2018, they were canceling elective surgeries in Toronto because the hospital was overloaded during flu season.
It's been dilapidated.
I say underfunded.
It's not really the issue.
It's been a crappy system for decades.
And it's so bad now that they're finding it more cost-effective to kill Canadians or allow the Canadians to kill themselves.
I have a question about this, because you'll know.
Is this for everyone?
Can anyone be like, yo, I want to off myself?
It seems to be that the bar is low.
So low that we're talking about medical assistance in dying is Justin Trudeau's euphemism.
Other regimes called it mercy killings.
Most people call it euthanasia.
That's how I call it.
And some people might just call this state-sanctioned murder.
Because they have.
Can I nominate people?
Can I be like, look, man, this Poseidon character.
Well, just wait for the government to say, you're mentally ill, so you're a perfect candidate for maids.
You voted for Pierre Paulier, you must be mentally ill.
The bar, they expanded the bar in 2016 by allowing it.
Then they allowed euthanasia for the mentally ill, but at the time they didn't want to include it in the law.
They said we're going to include an exclusion, but then exclude that exclusion that you cannot elect for euthanasia if you're mentally ill.
They said that's discriminatory against the mentally ill.
They should be allowed to decide to kill themselves.
Hold on, but they have to decide it themselves?
You tell me how this works.
I mean, first of all, you tell me.
Sarcastically.
In law, mental illness is a cause for vitiating consent.
People who have been known to be in manic states can't sign contracts.
They can't be exploited.
Apparently they can vote.
People who are mentally ill can't be found guilty of certain crimes if you're criminally not responsible.
And yet somehow, mental illness and the mentally ill can consent to ending their own lives.
It makes no sense.
And you've had people who are mentally ill saying...
I need the government to protect me, not exploit me when I'm at my most vulnerable in a state of mental illness where I think I want to die.
Other question.
What constitutes being mentally ill?
All that we could have the discussion about is how it's been implemented right now.
There was a case of a woman who was euthanized because she had multiple chemical sensitivity, also known as severe allergies, couldn't find proper housing, lodging that was smoke-free, whatever.
And she said, I can't do this.
Kill me.
And the government did it.
And she said, I don't want to die, but I just cannot find proper housing.
I may be exaggerating in terms of how she said it, but there was a Facebook post that she put up saying, I have no choice.
I cannot find proper housing.
Euthanized.
So wouldn't the government be like, whoa, this has to stop.
Let's find our housing.
Let's try to help.
We could help with that.
From the accounts that we know, not only is the government not saying, whoa, we'll put an end to it, the government is the one encouraging it.
Yeah, I saw the commercials.
The veteran who called up for PTSD and they suggested euthanasia.
I'm very stressed out.
Like, have you thought about killing yourself?
I'm very sad and depressed and I can't deal with the horrors of war.
Have you thought about killing yourself, sir?
It would be cheaper for everybody.
If people are in this world now and the brainwashing is working on them, I guarantee you this is insane because I remember when I was younger, it was the complete opposite.
When you would call any hotline.
And the second you would even hint to wanting to off yourself, they would have to stop you.
They would have, whoa, whoa, whoa, think of something else.
They would have to get people to help you.
It was the complete opposite.
I don't know how we changed into, oh, really?
Fuck, that's great.
More space.
We changed into a culture that worships death to some extent.
Yeah, we don't respect life.
People brought into the infatuation with abortion, the infatuation with tolerance.
By the way, those numbers.
I was unaware until recently because of a goddamn Twitter feed.
I really did think there was a lot less abortions.
Most people don't know Canada is the only nation in the world with absolutely no criminal restrictions on abortion.
As a matter of fact, as a matter of law, as a matter of practicality.
We abort a lot, but not as much as the states.
The states go crazy.
Say that again?
We abort a lot, but not as much as the states.
I don't know what the numbers are in the states.
It was in the millions.
It was insane.
Well, it has to be percentage-wise, but I don't know how much more it is in the states than Canada.
But Canada is the only country with no criminal restrictions whatsoever.
You won't find a doctor typically who will do it past 24 weeks.
That's not to say it doesn't happen, and there are cases where they do.
It's rare.
It's rare.
But also, I think it attributes to the fact, I don't know about the rest of Canada, but I know in Quebec, there's a lot more education when you're younger in high school about sex and stuff.
I remember us, they even had condoms available.
So it's these two, look, you know that these kids are going to bang, right?
I like the fact that there are some options so they don't get pregnant.
I prefer that.
Look, look.
I prefer that you educate them instead of keeping them in the dark, and then you're like, ah, fuck, what are we going to do with all these 13-year-old pregnancies?
There's a Venn diagram here.
First of all, we're going to get back to the euthanasia just for a second, but there's a Venn diagram here in terms of sex ed and then what you don't want teachers talking about with kids, and there's that overlap in the middle where you have to figure out the middle ground there because, yeah, sex ed, we think it's important, but then we also don't want...
I want to be aware, but I don't want to be pushed towards a...
Like, I want to be aware of what's happening and what's going on, to be aware of what the real world is like, but I don't want them to be like, alright, now that you know, go suck that guy's dick.
Like, I don't want that.
And that's, you know, I talked with a teacher who I did a podcast with, and she's a teacher in Toronto, and says, like, it's already on the curriculum, and the questions I get after we talk about pregnancy is, can I get pregnant from butt sex?
And I'm like, okay, well, now...
I mean, look, they're kids.
It's a valid question.
Well, that's the thing, but then the question is now, for those who don't want teachers talking about...
Anal sex to their students who think it's inappropriate.
You know, where is that line between sex ed?
Just say no.
Well, or my answer to her was, go ask your parents.
But then kids can't ask their parents.
And then the argument's going to be, well, they don't ask their parents, they're going to get into trouble.
There's a gray zone to figure out there.
Just to finish on the euthanasia.
Yes.
It was, I don't remember what it was before the 7,000 a year in 2019 or 2020.
It went from...
4,000, 5,000 to 7,000 to over 10,000.
And I want to know what it's going to be for the last year.
You know, they've put out studies that show not only does it not cost the system money, it actually saves the system money.
So, you know.
To kill people.
Yeah.
And then there was another poll.
I don't believe the bullshit polls, but I believe that they are used to drive narrative, not reflected.
A poll coming out saying a third of Canadians support euthanasia for homelessness.
I saw that.
Who voted?
They didn't ask me to vote on that.
I would not have killed the homeless.
It doesn't even matter whether or not they...
If the poll is accurate, it's a big freaking problem.
If the poll is total bullshit, as I think most of the...
It's still a problem.
It's still a problem.
You've got a media trying to drive a narrative that...
We're going to kill the homeless.
We're going to kill the homeless.
It'll save money.
I mean, look, our hospitals are overrun.
If we kill the sick or the mentally ill or whatever, it'll be better for the system.
Our homeless shelters are overrun.
We have too many people on the streets.
Kill them.
I mean, it's great, but it's their decision.
And the government's not promoting it.
It's just promoting it.
You remember that Simon's ad?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Life is beauty or beauty...
Something along those lines.
Yeah, you can't tell in the beginning and then towards the end you're like, wait a second, what is this?
What is this?
This is affirming euthanasia.
Aren't you guys supposed to sell pants?
What the fuck is this?
Clothing.
The ultimate kicker of that case is that the woman in that video was not terminally ill.
She had a lifelong condition that reduced life expectancy but it was not terminal illness.
And they glorify it.
They make it beautiful.
You get commercialization of this very sensitive issue.
That's when it gets corrupted.
Much like with the...
LGBTQ2AI plus movement.
Oh, that's super political.
It starts off organic, it gets big, then it gets hijacked by corporate media, then it gets corrupted.
And now we're seeing the same thing with euthanasia.
Once you get corporations into it who have a financial incentive or a virtue signaling incentive to promote this nonsense, it gets corrupted and it gets abused.
I think more people have to get up when stuff gets bought out by the corporations.
Who are part of whatever the community is, if it's LGBT, they have to get out and be like, look, we don't want these fucking corporations in this.
That's the time to sell your stock.
Once TD starts changing their banner to the pride flag, that's time to get out, okay?
Why have you co-opted this yet?
It's gone from grassroots to co-opted to corrupted.
Government's going to use it for political purposes.
Corporations are going to use it for monetary purposes.
And it has nothing to do with actually supporting the individuals who started the movement in the first place.
No.
Not at all.
Simon, you alright?
You're scrolling frantically.
Oh, no.
We've seen the commercial.
It was called All is Beauty.
Yeah, and I don't want to watch it.
It's depressing.
It's awful.
But, I mean, it's just a symptom of what's going on in Canada.
How's life in general, man?
How's Florida treating you?
Life in general, a lot of it's internal.
It's always perpetual endless stress for me, but that's probably partially man-made and partially my-made.
We've spent a year in Florida.
I've now experienced two different cultures.
Coming back to Canada is like stepping back into the asylum, and I try not to be mean.
I don't say it to be mean-spirited.
Keep talking that shit, Viva.
The country is the most beautiful country on Earth geographically.
The people, by and large...
You say this because you've never been to Greece, but go on.
I've never been to Greece, but I believe I've seen mountains that are Greek-esque.
No, it is a beautiful country, Canada.
Run by morons.
Absolutely.
And the morons can drive a wedge between Canadians.
I mean, I've done road trips and traveled everywhere in Canada, except...
Ooh, what's the province that's right?
Except Saskatchewan.
I've been to St. John, Newfoundland, drove across the entire island.
Maritimes, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the West Coast.
I have not been to the Yukon, but people by and large are wonderful everywhere.
They can, however, be turned against each other.
And turned into angry people by forces that are beyond, not beyond their control, but beyond their awareness.
It's not a Canadian thing.
That's a global humanity thing.
Absolutely.
And that's why you see a wild variation in zeitgeist from state to state in the States, from province to province in Canada, and from people.
But Canada's a beautiful place.
But when you step back into the city and you see people wearing face masks outside, when you get yelled at for...
Did you see people with face masks?
I don't know if I'm seeing more of it because I'm looking for it.
I don't know if I'm seeing more of it because there's more of it because Montreal's a big city and where I stay in Florida, it's pretty not concentrated people.
I was just in Phoenix and I noticed in Phoenix a lot of people wearing face masks.
Again, it would be a bluish city within a reddish state.
Montreal would be, you know, Canada where people are still wearing face masks, people still taller.
Yeah, I don't notice it here because I guess I do the podcast and I do the shows at night, stand-up comedy.
I don't really have people with masks.
I don't notice it, but the fact that you just said it, it's more, it's political.
It depends, like, what the state is voting.
That's crazy to me.
That is my observation.
It's very Ingstock.
It's very 1984.
The mask, I remember in the beginning, people said it's a...
It's a sign of subservience to the government.
And I said, okay, we don't know.
Maybe wear a mask.
Just try to be safe.
And it's a minimal thing until you start forcing kids to wear it for eight hours a day.
And then you find out later on, oh, not only was it not useful, but it was actually harmful because it causes cavities, dental hygiene problems, skin problems.
How the fuck does it cause cavities?
Because you have the same bacteria in your mouth that's being circulated and stays humid.
Holy shit.
I didn't know we were destroying kids' teeth.
It's a known thing.
I mean, look this up in terms of the dentist now noticing.
Far more cavities.
I think it's all the sweet food.
Masknee.
There's a thing called actual masknee because people wear it.
The kids especially don't change it every four hours like you're supposed to.
They wear the same one for a freaking week.
It's caused a bunch of problems.
If they're not toxic masks to begin with, which we had in Quebec.
I remember that.
Yeah, that was funny.
Potentially toxic masks given to 15,000 kids and daycare teachers.
Yeah, that was a little insane.
But I step back here.
Look, mistakes were made.
Mistakes were made, but we're not going to admit it because we did the best we could.
And those who were right that we called conspiracy theories, they got lucky.
They didn't know why they got it right.
But they're wrong for being right, and we're right for being wrong.
I mean, that's basically the summarizing.
Oh, yeah.
That is not the same.
Without a question.
Oh, we did the best we could.
Well, I'm sorry.
Someone did better than you.
And if Peter Hotez doesn't want to debate RFK, debate Robert Malone.
Debate Brett Weinstein.
What happened to Robert Malone?
What happened?
I mean, as far as I know, I remember when I did...
They called him a quack.
They called him a quack.
They edited his Wikipedia page to say that he was a liar for purporting to have invented or patented mRNA technology.
The guy's a flicky...
He's a genius.
And he's smart.
And whether or not you think he's right, He is as credentialed as any of the other ones.
He's more credentialed than Sanjay Gupta and France.
Sanjay Gupta, the dietician?
No, on CNN who was diagnosing John Fetterman as being totally fine even though he had never read his charts.
Oh yeah, this guy.
Oh yeah, Sanjay Gupta, the chief propagandist at CNN.
He went on Joe Rogan and said, I don't know why CNN called ivermectin horse paste.
They shouldn't have done it, but they did it.
And those are the ones now calling RFK Jr. a quack.
They also, since we're talking about Rogan, they didn't just say that it was horse medication repeatedly until they were called up by their own guy.
They also doctored the videos of Rogan, which is insane.
There were fact checks.
So for those who don't know, Rogan claims that they added a yellowish hue.
You can see it.
I've seen the side-by-sides.
But I've seen AP fact check that says they didn't do it.
So I don't know.
It's a tongue-in-cheek.
Hold on.
Where the hell were we?
Coming back to Canada, politically, people do not seem happy here.
I don't know if I'm projecting.
No, they're not.
Politically, there's a lot of turmoil.
There's always some fights.
Something's happening.
I come back here.
It's not a free country.
Some people are going to say it never was, or some people are going to say it's free enough, so long as I can go to my nice park.
What country is free at this point?
It's a good question.
And then you say, like, well, with freedom comes risk.
And so, oh, yeah, you got your wild freedom in Florida, but you got your, you know, your crazy gun nuts and all this sort of stuff.
I can't believe they actually did that.
Like, I remember this, because I remember the original was an Instagram, I think, video.
I can't.
Oh, man, this was crazy.
Do the viewers now see this live?
No, I don't.
I think, but this is for Poseidon.
We're looking at Joe Rogan.
No, but I've seen it.
Everyone's seen this Poseidon.
You don't got to show us Poseidon.
No, it's good.
People seem unhappy.
And I went to this protest.
Your money's worthless.
You work hard.
Everything's costing.
I'm just talking about Canada and Montreal right now.
Everything costs more, but you're either making less or the same you were.
Inflation is through the roof.
Interest rates.
So the people that got good deals initially right at the beginning of this and bought houses for good, decent prices and they locked in a few years of a good mortgage.
Interest rate?
Well, since that time, since that 0 to 1%, we are now in the fives.
Normally with the bank, you're going to be paying, after September, probably 6% or 7%.
So those renewals are up at the end of this year, so between 2024 and 2026.
People are going to lose their homes.
So if you notice, I notice, I do my research, I go on Realtor and I check it out.
I started noticing duplexes and triplexes that were going a few months ago for 1, 1.2 million.
Same areas are now going for 700,000.
The reason being...
Interest rates.
They're like, holy shit, I have to renew in January.
The interest rate is...
I'd be paying four times what I'm paying now.
It is impossible to pay.
If I'm struggling with, let's say, two Gs a month, how the fuck am I going to pay six or five?
So they're trying to get rid of it.
But this is the beginning stages.
Once you actually hit 2024 and everything starts crumbling, it's going to be mayhem.
People have to appreciate this who've never owned a home is that if you borrow, let's say a million to make the math easy, someone's going to say, well, don't borrow a million bucks, buy a smaller house.
Just do a million to make the math easy.
And interest rates are what, six and a half percent?
You're paying $65,000 a year in interest, not even on the capital that you've borrowed.
When I bought our house, we were locked in at 1.8%, 1.69%, which was good for the time, but everyone's like two, two and a half percent.
If you go from two and a half percent on a million, that's 25,000 a year to six and a half or 7%, maybe even more.
I mean, that's that's.
And we get here, and I'm always saying, like, I've got to still convert from Canadian to U.S. to make it, you know, make sense to me now.
Gas is $1.75 a liter, which turns out to be $3.50, about $7 a gallon.
In Canadian, which is about $5, maybe $5.50 U.S., which is still more than, I mean, I think close to California, but in Florida it's a little better.
It's like $3.99.
We drove to Toronto.
And we stopped and we got Burger King for lunch for three kids and my wife and I. And not even that much food.
$70.
Now, admittedly, it's a family of five.
It's expensive.
But what makes it expensive is the fact that no one's making more money.
Everything is costing more, which means you have less takeaway.
The taxes have not gone down.
So it makes it twice or three times...
More of an impact on your wallet than it would have a few years ago.
So people are struggling financially.
It's huge.
As far as debt goes, household debt, I think we're leading the charge in modern countries.
G7 is Canada by far, their household debt.
It's not good.
We're complaining about it, but no one wants to change the government.
Right now, what it does need, though, the truth is we need a kick in the balls.
We need a conservative government to come set up the economy.
And then after a couple of years, then we could change.
But right now, if we go to anything else but a conservative government that will...
If we go to anything else than a government that's going to tackle our monetary problems right now, we're fucked.
I don't know how long it took for Venezuela to go from a wonderful, thriving economy to what it is today.
But you can quickly see how quickly it can happen.
The inflation...
Can you imagine the government of Canada wants to reduce to net zero emissions, wants to, you know...
Stop all oil production in Canada.
Become green as if electric is green.
Nobody seems to be asking the question, how do those electric plants get their energy?
Shipping billions out to fund foreign conflict in Ukraine while making victims of natural disasters in Canada raise money, fundraise.
Yeah, that was a little crazy.
But again, people are too heavily invested in their own loss.
The easiest thing for them to do, instead of saying, my goodness, Trudeau, you're destroying our country.
Let's focus on Trump and what an asshole he is.
I mean, pathological.
It's pathological.
I have people living, friends in Canada, who are focused on how disgusting Florida is because of the Don't Say Gay bill, which is all bullshit to begin with, instead of looking at their own problems back home.
But they can't, and it's the tactic used by the government is to distract with foreign conflicts, distract with foreign and fabricated enemies, so that nobody actually focuses on the problems at home.
And then how do you resolve the problems at home?
The administrative state in Canada is so big right now that, you know, one of the, I think, the main ways to resolve the problems is to reduce the size of the federal government.
Of course.
Provincially, they're huge.
But how do you do that without telling the people who are already struggling?
You know, the federal workers are protesting because their salaries are not keeping up with the inflation caused by their own federal government.
How do you tell them, you're going to be out of a job and you have to go to the private sector because we need to shrink in order to, you know, minimize expenses?
How do you get elected doing that?
You can't get elected doing that.
So the only way you can get elected is by promising more of what's causing the problem in the first place.
But it's an amazing diabolical thing is that the government basically gets, you know, handcuffs the entire country by getting them dependent on the government, fearful of living without the government, and they cannot envision an existence where they're left to their own devices to some extent.
I mean, I don't know what the solution is other than...
You know, hitting rock bottom, but then the question is, how do you rebuild from rock bottom?
I don't want to hit rock bottom.
I don't think that's the solution.
The solution is common sense.
That's the solution.
This isn't working.
You keep hitting your hair on the wall.
It's not working.
Let's try something else.
Reduce the size of federal provincial government.
The size of government here, it doesn't make any sense.
Quebec in general, it's so big.
Everyone works for the government.
It's crazy.
Go to Ottawa.
I mean, everybody works for the government.
Where does that money come from?
taxing the private sphere.
I mean, the other idea is you're taxing the salaries of federal workers who are paid with tax dollars.
I mean, that's like the casino at the house, taking a rake, taking a bit of your profits, taking everything until eventually it all goes to the house.
I just totally lost my thought.
We need smaller governments.
Smaller governments.
But no, that was it.
It was also created total dependency and all the while basically promoting interests that are fundamentally not those of Canadian citizens but those of whatever… International community Justin Trudeau and his ilk think they represent and are trying to get in the good books of.
He's shipping Canadian tax dollars to fund foreign conflict in Ukraine.
We should be trying to negotiate peace.
Wasn't that our job as Canada?
We used to be the peace people.
We're like, hey guys, why are we fighting?
Let's eat some donuts.
We used to be the peace country, and now we're the country of seizing the assets of oligarchs without any meaningful due process, partially so we can finance more of the same.
You're like, guys, people are dying.
We can't have people die.
Let's go.
Let's talk about this.
But it's good versus evil.
It's Hitler versus the rest of the world.
It's existential.
We can't negotiate with terrorists.
People die.
And not just that.
And for anybody listening to what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is saying, and anyone listening to those who have a more nuanced understanding of this conflict that predates 2020, Zelensky was elected on the platform of negotiating a peace with Russia.
He was elected on the idea of, we're going to negotiate, figure out a way to deal with this sort of contested area on the east.
The Donbass region was supposed to be part of Ukraine, but independent in the sense that...
A lot of them were Russian supporters who voted to separate from Ukraine and be an autonomous region.
The argument against that is, well, by the time they held the vote, they had already chased out all of the Ukraine-supporting Ukrainians, so the only people left to vote were pro-Russian.
That's a good counter-argument.
The flip side is, however, I think it was the principle of the Minsk Accords which was to not have NATO occupy Ukraine.
And then when Zelensky gets elected on a platform of negotiating a peace, remaining neutral, not having Ukraine join the NATO, which is a direct threat on Russia, whether you like it or not, you have to acknowledge that it's no different than having nukes in Cuba pointed at America.
Once Zelensky's brought to power, he's like, Big Brother's like, don't negotiate anything, be belligerent, and absolutely no discussion settlement.
Fight, fight, fight.
We'll, as long as it takes.
It's the new two weeks to flatten the curve.
And we don't care how many Ukrainians get killed in this war because A, it's not our kids.
B, it's not, you know, B, it's good for us.
You need more weapons?
Go to, I forget what the fucking military manufacturing machine is called, but we'll give them to you as long as it takes.
And we'll siphon taxpayer dollars from Canadians, from Americans to finance this war while Canadians and Americans suffer.
But it's horrible because they're saying on the news to try to motivate people that Ukraine is winning and this and that and they're dying.
Well, both sides, people are just dying.
It's crazy.
And the fact that no one's like, okay, we've got to stop this, man.
There's little kids.
There's other kids that are going to die.
There's kids that are going to be orphans.
There's adults that they did nothing wrong.
They're forced into a war now, and let's say they were cafe owners or whatever.
They're just living a simple life, and now you're forced them to die?
Slaughtering a generation.
Letting these people slaughter each other.
It's slaughtering a generation.
It's really good for...
It distracts from problems at home.
It's great for the military-industrial complex.
It's great for consolidating power, except it's not working the way it's planned out.
You know, Russia, for anybody who's studied history, has not won its wars in short, you know, blitzkrieg-type battles like the Germans.
They win by attrition.
In World War II, you know, they lost.
I think we lost 50-some-odd million.
It's not even win or lose, just the amount of human life that we're throwing.
That's the part that people keep talking about like it's a sport.
They're like, win or lose.
I want these people to be able to live peacefully with their families.
I don't want the fear of death from above.
It's horrible what the fuck's happening.
And it's not just there.
We talk about that, but we don't talk about...
It happens all over the place.
The Palestinians and the Israelis.
No one's trying to go in there and try to settle things.
Same thing.
We're just letting everyone all over the world just fuck with each other so that we have an excuse to point, hey, look, it's worse over there.
We're losing our humanity.
And we have so much technology.
We've made it to the pinnacle.
We're the best monkeys on the planet.
We got podcasts.
We got cell phones.
We shouldn't be in these conflicts.
There's ways of discussing peace with all of them, but no one wants to budge a bit.
What, we have one country that's in charge of the planet?
None of us should be in charge of the goddamn planet.
We're idiots.
The people pushing this have all interest and no risk.
Period.
Is it Ralph Nader?
Nadler.
Ralph Nadler.
There was a wonderful video of him saying, yeah, let's give the Ukrainian army F-16 so they can...
Well, what if they are used to bomb Russia?
Are you going to sanction that?
Oh, we don't have to sanction it.
We give them the weapons for them to do whatever with, even though we know what they're going to do.
And, you know, it's nice for these fat cats.
Sometimes literally in Washington to sit there and say, yeah, I got no skin in the game.
My kids aren't going there.
I don't lose money from this.
I gain money from this.
I'm not at risk.
I'm behind my fences with my guns and everyone else should, you know, no borders, no walls, no guns for you.
It is depressing.
But then it becomes the distraction from the misery at home and it becomes the new avatar.
It becomes the new icon.
If you don't support the war in Ukraine, you're a bad Canadian.
Like RFK said yesterday, if anybody watched his speech, you cannot, what did he say?
I don't want to screw it up, but you cannot support international violence without it necessarily translating to domestic violence.
The idea being, on the one hand, you create a culture of war, it seeps into the culture back home.
You foment and you deplete your resources exploiting and promoting war abroad.
You neglect your own population where you end up having military veterans living in the streets, homeless populations in cities.
You end up neglecting your own population by focusing on financing, funding, international conflict.
So international violence leads to domestic violence.
It's a wonderful thought.
It's a wonderful theory.
And it's something spiritually true about it.
But it's the distraction that people need from their own current misery.
People in Canada, people in the States are struggling.
They're stressed.
And I've found empirically that the people who are the most miserable in Canada divert their misery and focus it on a proverbial boogeyman that allows them to distract from their own misery so they're not angry that they're making less money, they're not angry that they're not as free as they'd like to, they're not angry about the fact that they're losing their freedom of speech because Trump is bad and it's worse there and we still have it pretty good.
That's what everyone thinks.
And none of us have it that good.
The world is...
It's stressful for everybody.
I mean, it is stressful for everybody.
And you meet people, but also you see the evolution of the people you've known.
And it's somewhat depressing.
It's more than something.
Are you depressed?
Are you depressed?
No.
No, you're happy?
Tired constantly.
He is tired constantly.
I'm not depressed.
He eats like a goddamn maniac.
I enjoy life.
What, um, Poseidon?
For those who are watching now that might never have known, don't know who you are.
I'm Pantel, this is Poseidon.
The last time I was calling Poseidon Pantel, now I'm calling Pantel's Poseidon.
It happens in French all the time.
It's an honor for me, it's an insult for him.
Exactly.
I'm gonna flip this fucking table, Vivo.
How, so, how is it going here?
Like, you're still doing stand-up and you're still doing...
I'm doing stand-up and doing the podcast.
I'm having fun.
I'm doing my thing.
It's obviously not as easy as it used to be.
The lockdowns ruined everything.
It made everyone restart.
Financially, it was an atom bomb on me.
It destroyed everything.
But we recouped.
Now we're doing a lot of stand-up.
I'm doing both English and French.
I got my tours running.
So I'm focused on the stuff that I love and the stuff that I'm good at.
This is my business.
But I am looking south.
I can't lie.
I'm looking at the States.
Doing the stand-up stuff, are you...
More reluctant?
Have we returned to the era where you can actually be funny without worrying about being harassed on stage or canceled off stage?
Here's a funny thing about me.
I never gave a fuck.
My goal was always to be funny.
So I've been doing the same thing, which is be funny, and some people are going to get offended.
I can't control that.
Now it's got me in trouble before people get mad or they think, oh, you can't talk about race, you can't talk about gender, you can't talk about whatever the fuck I want.
The whole goal is to make it funny.
So I never...
I've been in fear of that.
Because I get yelled at no matter what, even if I'm not doing anything mean.
You'll get yelled at for not being funny if you don't try.
But also, I remember last week I posted a commercial because we're doing a big tour.
It's called The Rebels in French.
It's like the French Nasty Show, let's say.
And there's a good lineup.
It's fun.
And someone on one of the little trailers wrote to me on my channel.
You fucking...
You asshole.
You took all this money from the government.
I've never...
This is all private.
This is all me working to make it.
It's like, what the fuck is this guy talking about?
He's like, you're subsidized by the government.
So it's just lunacy.
So people are still mad at me even though I do the right thing.
There's going to be someone who's mad.
So I'm never going to change the way I tell my jokes for one person or two that might be pissed off.
Because then everyone else is going to get mad.
I'd rather do what's true to me.
It's funny.
I don't want to hurt people.
I'm a man of no war.
I don't want wars.
I want peace.
I want everyone.
I don't give a fuck if you identify as a paper bag.
I want you to be able to live your life and be happy.
That's what I want as long as you don't fucking bother anyone.
I don't want to bother anyone.
That's it.
But to change my stuff to make sure that the paper bag guy is happy and then everyone else doesn't have a good time?
Fuck, that's never going to happen.
But in the crowds, have you noticed that people are more eager to laugh at the controversial stuff now?
Or are they still sort of...
Reluctant.
I feel like they're ready now.
Especially in French.
They're the best comedy crowds.
Because they get the art form.
So sometimes I won't go hard enough.
And then I'll notice.
I'm like, oh, these fuckers.
But they want to know.
It has to just be quality.
No one wants some dude just dropping the N-word.
That's not what they want.
They don't want shock.
They hate that.
It's too hacky.
They just want you to broach subjects that they're all aware of.
But they can't really bring up at the water cooler and they want you to make it funny.
So I talk about my life because I keep getting into these situations.
So I talk about my life.
Look, there's stories.
There's true stories of what happened to me.
If you're offended, you're an imbecile.
It's what really happened.
It's like getting offended at a history book.
This is what happened.
And I make it funny.
You know who Chrissy Mayer is?
Of course.
Chris is my friend.
I know Chris.
So you saw what happened to her at the show?
With the Malaysians?
No, hold on.
You've got to get into the Malaysians afterwards because I noticed she made a small genitalia joke about that.
But no, what happened to her at the club in Dallas?
I think the lady was screaming.
When she was getting in trouble for a trans joke because she was poking fun at Dylan Mulvaney.
That was a fine joke.
It wasn't even a hateful joke or anything.
It was just a normal joke about him.
It didn't make any sense.
The reaction?
So the reaction wasn't to the joke.
The reaction was just to, oh, this is holy.
Anything you say about this has to be met with aggression.
That's when you should realize that you're in a cult.
That's when you realize that you're in a cult.
When you can't make fun of someone.
Why is Dylan Mulvaney above getting made fun of?
Well, he's actually, like, really faded out of the spotlight since, I guess, causing Bud Light to take.
But it wasn't a causing Bud Light.
That wasn't his fault.
That was literally...
People may have overreacted.
I'll tell you why.
Because he didn't force anyone to become...
Like, if I tell you right now, I offer you, you're going to be the representative of milk in Canada.
You're like, oh, that's a great deal.
Milk.
And then people are like...
Fuck, Viva, he used to be a lawyer, lawyers are toxic, whatever the fuck, and now they're going crazy on you, and you're ruining milk.
Like, I was offered a contract to represent milk, I didn't want to ruin your milk drinking experience.
So even the Mulvaney kid, because he's young, no?
I think he's young, and I'm not sure what stage of this process he's at anymore.
They kind of went a little too hard on him specifically.
He didn't do anything.
He's just like, oh, I want to dress up.
This is bringing it back to when corporations...
Is it a trans or is it a drag queen?
I don't know.
No, he's trans.
Oh, okay.
I didn't get the full details of that.
Because the name is Dylan, so I thought it was...
This is where language stops making any sense.
I think the polite virtue signaling thing to do is refer to Dylan as she, even though he's intact with his male identity.
American actress.
Okay, so it's okay.
It's just because of Dylan.
So I thought it was because drag queens are a big thing.
Again, I don't give a shit.
Go ahead.
But blaming...
All of Bud Light's tanking on one person.
He wasn't...
She wasn't in charge of the marketing or what.
It's not...
Now you're going to get one half of the crowd getting mad at you for entertaining the she and saying you're caving to people's mental illnesses.
No, no, but it's just...
I don't care.
It could be he, she, coffee.
It doesn't bother me at all.
I'm not threatened by it at all.
It's more of the case of...
Bud Light decided to do virtue signaling, like selling?
And it didn't work.
That's all it is.
I don't think we should kill this person.
What the fuck?
They didn't do anything.
Actually, if one views everything he does as shtick, it's kind of funny.
The problem is that...
What is it?
This is the one where he makes...
Day 365 of girlhood.
I'm hiking in my heels.
I don't know anything about what this person does.
Some people are still not convinced it's not shtick.
And one day Dylan will go back to being a gay man.
So long as you don't make the ultimate decision, it's reversible decisions.
He was doing literally like day one of girlhood.
Is that Tony the Tiger?
Remember Tony the Tiger?
No, the person on the right is not...
Oh, that is Tony the Tiger in the middle.
It has nothing to do with anything.
That was Dylan Schick.
And the funny thing is, going back to the...
Once the corporations take over it, you know that they don't give a sweet bugger all about anything other than exploiting everyone.
And I don't think that...
I'm up Bud Light.
Or Anheuser-Busch, whoever the hell owns that company.
I don't think they give a sweet bugger all as to the damage they actually did to Dylan with this boy.
They're more interested in their bottom line, whether or not it went up or down.
And they're using Dylan as fodder for their campaign.
I just don't think Dylan was the problem.
The problem was them using a biological male seemingly to celebrate womanhood instead of using successful...
Okay, that's what they did.
That is a little insane too.
I don't know how they framed it.
It was just Dylan was on a can and everyone was like, what the heck is...
What is Dylan Mulvaney going on Bud Light for when...
I don't know.
People just got irked by the fact that they're putting someone who purports to be trans or identifies as trans on the front can of their beer, which is beers.
I don't give a fuck about that.
What made it worse was the CMO or the executive, whoever was in charge of that campaign, a young woman coming out and saying, we had to rebrand and move away from the frat boy image, shitting on their demographic so they could force ideology on them.
That's what made people so angry about it.
But no, it goes back to once the corporations get in there and start exploiting people.
They don't care the damage they do, because I think psychologically, from Dylan's perspective, I don't know how much money he could have possibly made from this campaign to make the psychological trauma, but also the guilt.
I think to some extent, if he thinks, I'm the one who cost this company 20%.
No, it's not Dylan Mulvaney's fault.
They made the decision, they offered him a contract.
That's what I'm saying, is we've got to stop trying to find the devil everywhere, like that's the devil.
Put yourself in Dylan Mulvaney's shoes.
Again, you're offered a contract to represent McDonald's or, I don't know, something else that you'd like.
And you're like, oh, this is crazy.
And then people get so pissed off at McDonald's because they don't like you, they don't like Jews, I don't know, whatever it could be.
McDonald's doing the same thing.
At some point they're going to say, why?
But then people get mad at you and you're like, look, I didn't want to ruin your McDonald's going experience.
I was offered a contract to represent a company and Dylan Mulvaney is what, an actor, an influencer, whatever the fuck?
An actress.
Okay, so that's what you do.
You get involved in media and all that.
I think what people are upset about is that...
I don't know how to put this into words properly.
But it's not Dylan Mulvaney's fault.
Well, the reason why they're mad at Bud Light is because of all the...
Okay, be mad at Bud Light.
And about Dylan, he's not actually a woman.
I think people are upset because my girl is upset about this.
People are upset about the fact that they're trying to peddle...
Men or gay men as being women when it's not the case.
And I think that's what people are mad about.
It's not women.
It's so much the...
But I'm not against that.
I understand that.
What I'm saying is Dylan Mulvaney didn't go into a meeting and decide, I'm the face of...
Dylan Mulvaney was offered a contract.
I understand, but he still made a decision to act like a woman and pretend to be a woman.
And he started speaking like, oh, it's about womanhood and this, that, when he's not really a woman.
Yeah, but that's what every actor does.
Yeah, but not for ads though, no?
What do you mean for ads?
You think ads?
Dude, I've been offered ads.
What do you think?
It's my real life, I'm going to act.
No, I understand, but like in a movie or not.
The problem is, dude, are you telling me right now that you think advertising, you think commercials are real life, they're not acting?
No, no, no, they're not real life, but...
Hold on a second.
The argument is moot.
The problem here is Bud Light made a stupid decision by saying, oh, we got to represent women?
We found one.
Yeah, that's insane.
You're going to piss off a lot of women.
But Dylan Mulvaney accepting the...
If it was like accepting something to promote euthanasia or something extreme, I get it.
But to be like, hey, we're going to put you on a beer can.
You don't fucking know.
You're like, this is exciting.
I got my own beer can.
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Poseidon, just so I know.
When Poseidon's talking now, do we see a video of Poseidon or is it still looking at us?
No, but I could cut to me.
He should be cutting to himself.
I'm going to wait to pick my nose then.
That's a joke.
I just want to know what to do.
Okay.
Sorry, Poseidon.
Okay, so I'll give you an example.
So I think if he had accepted the contract as a trans woman, people wouldn't be as mad at him.
But that's how he accepted the contract.
That's what he is.
Apparently he accepted it as a woman.
What do you mean accepted?
Well, your thing doesn't make any sense.
You weren't even there.
The idea is that it was to celebrate.
I don't know if this is true.
That's stupid on Bud Light's thing.
I don't think anyone was actually mad at Dylan above and beyond.
The broader scheme of Dylan purporting to celebrate womanhood and be a woman, and this is what it means to be a woman, acting like a...
It's wacky.
It's completely wacky.
Hiking in heels, acting like a ditzy idiot.
I'm with you on this.
It's completely wacky.
What I'm saying is, it's the people that enabled that.
Like, if I...
I promote you as it's Greek Week.
You're part of the Greek and you're excited.
This is nice.
They're involving me in Greek Week.
And then you have a bunch of people be like, you're not fucking Greek.
You're not going to tell us what the Greek experience is.
You're going to be like, hold on a second.
The Greek guy told me.
But how about this?
How about if when the Jew celebrates Greek Week because of a mandate, he says, oh, look how Greek I am.
I'm eating tzatziki and drinking ouzo.
Then I can imagine a lot of people saying, getting mad not only at the Greek Week, but getting mad at the Jew who's purported, hey, what it means to be Greek is drinking ouzo and what was the first thing I said?
Tzatziki.
You're halfway there.
I can't do anything with garlic, so I would be a very bad Greek.
No, but I think people were angry at Dylan for the broader shtick of purporting to be a girl and celebrating goodhood.
People were mad at Bud Light for saying, keep your effing ideology out of my branding.
I don't like a weird ideology to eat.
It's crazy.
My cheese is now communist.
Why everything has to be ideologically driven.
It's a bizarre thing.
The rage, and nobody should hate Dylan for...
Him doing what he wants.
Again, to the extent...
That's what I'm saying.
Because we're putting our energy in the wrong place.
The energy should have been...
You don't like them politicizing.
It could have been anything.
It could have been them, like I said, promoting Marxism on a beer can.
You know what?
I'm not buying this fucking beer can.
Let's see how much you like Marxism now.
That I'm with.
You know, you protest me a dollar, but to take the actor that's in it, that they clearly used to scapegoat, you're like, fuck, like as if Dylan Mulvaney's in charge of Budweiser?
When you watch Dylan's, the Instagram post where he's trying to drink the beer or purporting to drink the beer, it's quite clear there's either nothing in that can or he doesn't like what's in that can.
He doesn't like beer, yeah.
But it is, it's a crazy thing.
Like, I had...
Blair White on my channel.
And Blair White, it's a funny thing.
I didn't know Blair was trans until after I...
You don't have a good radar.
Until after I slept with Blair White.
No, no, no.
Until after I followed her on Twitter.
And then the question becomes, well, people say to me, why do you refer to Blair as a her, but you refer to Dylan as a he?
That's a great question.
I struggle with my answer.
It's not because Blair told me to refer to her as a her, and it sure as hell is not because Dylan Mulvaney told me to refer to him as a her.
On the one hand, when I got to know Blair's image, internet persona, I thought Blair was a girl.
First of all, I've made the mistake just based on avatars.
I don't use the word past, but I thought before I knew Blair had been born a male, was a girl.
So now in my mind, it makes sense.
The second thing is, Nobody forced me to call Blair her.
And when I had Blair on, I said, Blair is, and I've interviewed a number of trans and de-transitioners.
I've interviewed two de-transitioners, one transgender individual who I would refer to as a her, despite whatever the people say, Julia at the Ottawa protest.
Nobody, Blair said, I don't care.
You want to call me a he, do whatever the hell you want.
It doesn't bother me.
When people say it bothers me for you not to entertain my altered reality, that's when it bothers me.
And so then we're getting into a world of, you're bothered because I'm not catering to your whims, and I'm bothered because your whims are trying to trump my free will to do what I think is scientifically, medically accurate.
I get what you're saying, because I don't like being forced to do anything either.
But mine is more, if I know, like let's say right now you want to be referred to as Stephen.
Your name is not Stephen.
But that's how you want to go.
I don't care.
I'm going to call you Stephen.
True, but someone's going to say a name is different than biology.
Okay, no, no, but I'm not, like, but again.
I'm not entertaining the fact that I'm going to change and pretend like, I don't know, like you can have a baby, for example.
I'm just like, yeah, of course, if I bang you enough, you're going to get pregnant.
You can't get pregnant.
So I'm not going to entertain that.
However, if that's what you want to go by, it makes you comfortable and it's not something, you're not trying to fuck with me.
You're not like, oh, you said the wrong one.
I'm going to cancel you.
Of course, I'm going to try my best.
I'm going to try my best to make you comfortable.
Like, I call you Viva.
Viva is not your real name.
I know you as Viva, so I call you Viva, right?
But I'm not doing it to fuck with you or to fuck, like...
But if you'd come in here and you'd be like, you fucking refer to me as Viva or whatever, dude, I would never call you...
I would call you everything but Viva.
I'd fucking call you Marcus.
First of all, there's two distinctions there.
One is the preference and one is the preference versus biology.
And then the other one is...
Voluntary versus coerced.
Yeah.
And also, I'll give you an example.
So if you say right now, you want me to refer you as a she.
Call me your highness, please.
I don't even care.
I'll do it.
But if you want me to refer you as a she, I have no problem with that.
Now, if you start saying, now, agree with me that I have ovaries and I can have a baby or something, then I'd be like, well, no, I can't agree.
That's insane.
That I'm not going to agree with.
But if you're just telling me, call me, share whatever, it makes you comfortable, that's what you want.
Fuck, I don't give a shit.
Go ahead.
Why would I bully you on that?
This is my revelation or my revelation of my realization.
Yeah.
Voluntary versus coerced.
A lot of people use the schizophrenic or mental illness.
If someone thinks that they're the Queen of England, you're only catering to their mental illness by referring to them as the Queen of England.
My aunt was schizophrenic.
She would have these delusions that she was dating her doctor.
They had a mad love affair.
I would never...
When she would call up and tell me, hey, David, I just got back from my doctor's office.
I'm not going to contradict her because I know it will cause distress.
Nobody loves you.
This is bullshit.
The idea of not doing it as an act of provocation to deliberately disturb someone, that's one thing.
When you say, like, I'll do it voluntarily, but I won't do it when I'm coerced, and if you realize that all of this, at least on the public social media scale, is about coercion and not about respecting someone's deepest desires, then you have to say, like, well, then by referring to Dylan as a she, I am being coerced via this social media pressure, what do we call it, click pressure, and it's not a question of just respecting Dylan as an individual, because ultimately...
Because I know trans, I know trans comics, like, I know trans people...
It doesn't fucking bug me.
No!
First of all...
And normally comics are cool as shit.
Well, that's the...
Normally, until you go to the club so you can get mad at the Chrissy Mayors of the world because...
But that's not the comic.
That's some lady in the audience.
But I'm just saying, that's why I don't...
I don't mind that it's like, for example, let's say Poseidon tomorrow, it'll be very weird if he decides that he's going to be a woman.
But the reason why it would be weird is because he's never shown any signs of wanting to be a lady or have that, okay?
But he's like, look, I'm going to be very uncomfortable.
If you don't see me as a woman, it's going to fucking bug me.
Call me she.
I'll be like, I'll call you she.
But again, if he starts saying, I can't wait until I'm pregnant, I'll be like, okay, listen, bro, that's not going to happen.
But I have no problem.
But it's just scientifically it can't happen.
Or I can't wait till I get my first period.
Yeah, exactly.
So I'd be like, dude, if I tell you that, we're not talking in reality.
I'll refer to you as whatever you want, but do we want to have a serious discussion or not?
So that's what I'm saying is the line.
But I don't like the idea of anyone, like if someone's like, you know, my name now is Trevor.
I'm like, the fuck it is.
You were born, Michael.
That's crazy.
But how about if it's as capricious and fluid as they say, well, I can be this one day and this another, and you've got to respect that.
That's absurd.
I can't even care.
How do I know what you're feeling?
Seriously, though?
Yep.
Going forward, I want to be called Lord Posidonius.
Yeah, I would do that for fun.
I will fucking punch you in your goddamn stupid face.
That was the revelation I had.
It is being used as ideological coercion.
I don't like being coerced.
The second the coercion comes in, you lost it.
Absolutely.
And the funny thing is when you talk to...
Reasonable, and I would say almost sincere, because I think a lot of people purporting to be fluid and whatever are not being sincere about it.
It's just attention-grabbing.
When you talk to sincere trans people, call them transsexuals if you want to do that.
Blair White said, I'm going to take transsexual back because transgender has been politicized.
Transsexual is a better word.
I think it is as well, because it makes the distinction.
I mean, the whole idea...
I interviewed a kid.
Maybe it's just because I'm more used to it, because that used to be the word.
Transsexual, I think, means...
I thought it meant biologically.
Superficially or visually one, but biologically another.
But I don't know if that's intersex and transsexual or the same thing.
No, isn't intersex the new word for hermaphic?
That's when you have two.
I think it's when you have one, or maybe it's when you have two or one that is not accurate to your chromosome.
Well, if you have both, one is not going to be accurate.
No, but if you're born with what looks like a male genitalia, but you're XX chromosomes, I thought that was intersex.
I'm not sure, though.
That's what I'm saying.
It's very complicated.
I went to the Ottawa protest, which was called Education Non-Indoctrination.
Billboard Chris put it on with Josh Alexander, that 17-year-old kid who was kicked out of Christian school in Ontario.
How come?
Because he said there's only two sexes, and a biological male breastfeeding a child is borderline sexual abuse.
But a biological male can't breastfeed a child.
Of course the biological male cannot.
Or am I fucking crazy?
He's suggesting that if you jack up a male's chest with what appear to be female breasts and I don't know what you can put in their hormones to make them...
Like fake?
Like actual milk?
I don't think it's actual milk.
I think there have been videos of males having surgeries to become females.
And then taking hormones to cause some form of lactation, but it's not obviously freaking breast milk.
Is that breast milk?
Is that dangerous for the kid?
There's a video out there of a...
The couple is literally reversed.
The man had surgery to look like a woman.
The woman had surgery to look like a man.
The woman who now looks like a man is delivering a child.
And the man who now looks like a woman is breastfeeding the child and complaining how the baby's latching but not getting breast milk.
I can't imagine why.
So this kid, Josh Alexander, when he's having a fight with a teacher at a religious school, says there's only two sexes and some might say it's pedophilia if a biological male is trying to breastfeed a baby.
Much like, you know, when Peter Griffin tried to breastfeed Stewie.
Gets kicked out of school, has not been allowed back yet.
And talking about the social media backlash, apparently his parents have been...
They found out whose parents were and his parents were put on leave.
I don't know if they were...
Hired back.
I think they were teachers as well.
They put on leave?
Yeah, because the kid did what cannot be done, gets kicked out of school, but that's not enough.
They've got to go destroy the family.
But did what cannot be done, I don't understand.
Because he said a male can't breastfeed a child.
He said if a male tries to, then it's the P word.
We don't want to look at this.
You're disgusting.
This is medication to cause men to lactate?
Or is it?
That's disgusting.
I don't know what that is.
No, that is abuse.
I'm sorry, that is abuse.
This kid says it, gets kicked out of school, and then he's become an activist.
Now, he hasn't been able to go back into high school, so he sets up a protest in Ottawa two weeks ago, three weeks ago.
Oh, dude, we have to talk about this.
If you don't know about this...
Okay.
It was a protest called Education, Not Indoctrination.
Trans people, do what you want to do.
Adults, do whatever you want to do.
Keep it out of schools.
We don't need to learn that...
Gender is fluid.
You can be a he one day and a she the next day.
We don't need co-ed bathrooms.
They put on this protest.
There was a large representative from the...
That's what I'm looking for.
A large delegate of Muslims.
Religious Muslims.
Oh, I did see the Muslims were...
Stopping on the gay pride fight.
Setting that aside, I didn't particularly...
I don't appreciate...
Yeah, me same.
It gets too aggressive.
Even if you're allowed to, I don't agree with burning the American flag or the Canadian flag.
Even though I support your right to do it in theory.
I feel the same way.
Yeah.
Now, so they had this protest.
Where was I going with this?
They had the counter protests.
Oh, and I interviewed a transgender individual there.
A trans woman, I guess, is the...
And biological male, he says, look, I don't mind if you dead name me.
I don't mind if you talk about the fact my name was...
I forget what her name was before.
Didn't go through the chemical therapies as a kid.
Did it as an adult.
And she says, I don't pass now.
People look at me and they still see I look masculine.
I haven't had the bottom surgery.
Haven't had a facial reconstructive surgery because they can do it to fix the job.
It takes a lot, bro.
Absolutely.
And this person was like...
I have a friend who came on the French podcast.
Comedian.
It's a whole thing, bro.
Laser.
You're like, take...
The squareness of the job.
The whole thing!
For someone who...
An adult decision, do it.
And that's fine.
And Julia said, it doesn't bother me if you refer to the fact that I was a male before.
Pushing this stuff on kids now is for the...
I don't know what the stats are, but it's for the odd person who goes through puberty and can never pass, as the term goes, and I'm putting it in quotes, but was reasonable about everything.
It's like, I'm not...
I don't think it should be never allowed because there might be some situations where it might be permissible.
But to go from never to whenever a kid says, and if a 14-year-old out of the blue says, now I'm trans and then we just have to treat him like it is and ban conversion therapy, this was a reasonable trans woman who did not take offense at every slight.
Because I think she was sincere in her beliefs.
And when you're sincere, someone calls you a he when you want to be a she.
It doesn't make a difference because you believe in it and you believe in yourself.
Especially if it's not trying to...
Absolutely.
But then the flip side is you looked at the counter-protesters and it was pure ideological...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Not tyranny, but coercion.
It was, you're a bunch of bigots.
If you don't think a 12-year-old kid...
Can be trans and that you have to support trans kids and that protecting trans kids means allowing kids to make life-altering decisions in their moments of confusion as adolescents.
You're not protecting them.
You're a bigot.
You're a fascist.
Go home.
It's a good strategy, though.
Oh, it's great.
Well, it's great because it eliminates debate.
That's bullying.
And then I interviewed this 16-year-old boy.
I said, you're clearly a boy.
I said, why are you here?
And he says, well, I disagree with Billboard Chris.
I said, okay, specifically, what do you disagree with?
Who the fuck is Billboard Chris?
Billboard Chris is the guy that wears the billboard, just stands there talking to people and says children cannot consent to puberty blockers.
Famous, infamous.
I said, specifically, what do you disagree with about Billboard Chris?
Oh, about the way he does things, who he hangs out with.
He goes on Tucker Carlson.
Those are very broad.
Specifically.
He says, well, I don't agree with his position on trans stuff.
I mean, his definition of a man.
I said, well, what's your definition of a woman?
And he says, it's very complicated.
It's biological.
He said, well, what's the definition of a chair?
I said, well, okay, I'll give you a definition of a chair.
Four legs.
Four legs or maybe three legs.
Something you sit on.
He's like, okay, well, then a table can be a chair.
I was like, well, a table can be used as a chair.
That doesn't mean the chairs don't exist.
And then he says, well, you know, a woman is a series of patterns.
And I said, you realize that, you know, a man saying that a woman doesn't actually exist and that there are a series of patterns, it could be...
Badly perceived by women.
He says, yeah, I see that.
But if I say a man is a series of patterns, it could be misandrous or whatever.
It's madness.
So, hold on.
Then the crux of it.
What happens at this protest?
It's going to blow your mind if you haven't heard this.
Joel Harden, who is a sitting member of provincial parliament for the Ontario...
The guy who said he got beat up?
Did he really get beat up?
In my humble opinion...
He's a big, fat liar because he confirmed that he's a big, fat liar.
So I'm there live-streaming this protest the same way I live-streamed the Ottawa trucker protest, for good or for bad.
If someone were to have punched Joel Harden in the face, if I caught it, I would have caught it real-time, not going to make anybody look good.
Kids were there stomping the gay pride flag.
The world saw it, for good and for bad.
I didn't see any meaningful violence.
I heard there were some shuffles, some scuffling, there were some arrests.
Education, not indoctrination side that was arrested.
I think one of the young Muslim men.
And I say that just to correct the fact that at one point I thought the only people who were arrested were the Antifa other side.
I get home and say, okay, it was good.
It went down without an incident.
And then I see a tweet in response to another tweet.
The original tweet says, these far-right anti-trans protesters are sitting in the middle of the street doing nothing.
And then another guy replies and says, When they're not punching people in the face, but I'll take a punch in the face for the trans.
Oh yeah, that's the guy.
So I'm like, who is this guy?
He's a sitting member of Ontario New Democrat Party.
I was like, if a parliamentarian was punched in the face, we would have heard about it.
Someone would have been arrested.
So I start this original tweet.
I say, look, I'm not calling you a liar, Joel Harden, but I'm thinking it because if a member of parliament was punched in the face, CBC would have jumped on it.
CTV, everyone would have jumped on it because it's exactly what they wanted.
So I said, where's the video?
There were 25 people there live-streaming all day long.
Where's the video?
Because the anti-trans guy, the counter-protesters also, they're sitting there with their cameras, especially behind Joel Harden.
So I start a campaign hashtag justice for Joel.
And I say, if he was punched in the face, we've got to find the fucker that did this.
And I'm tongue-in-cheek.
But it is unacceptable to punch people in the face.
If someone's punching a parliamentarian, I don't care.
There should be no acts of violence against Justin Trudeau.
I'm with you 100%.
So I say it's almost tongue-in-cheek, but it's not.
If there's someone who punched him in the face, find the person, because we have cameras there.
Justice for Joel.
Lo and behold, it turns out, and everyone geolocated their footage, they got a video, he smashed himself in the face with his own fucking bullhorn.
I didn't know that.
That's amazing.
There's literally a video of the moment.
He's sitting there like a buffoon, yelling into his bullhorn.
Like a buffoon.
It bumps into his face, and you see the little metal ring.
I think it's the eyelid for the neck, for the lanyard.
Into his face, right where he had this little cut.
Oh, that's the other thing.
I watch a lot of UFC.
I was like, dude, that's a sharp line cut with no swelling.
Probably a cut, not a punch, but what do I know?
I'm just an idiot.
I'm not a doctor.
Why did he lie?
So then the video comes out, and it shows the microphone hitting him in the face and the eyelet cutting his face.
He then comes out with a tweet correcting.
It says, I was punched in the face.
The punch glanced off the bullhorn, which hit my face.
But there's a video.
No, no, that's it.
He said he was punched in the face.
Then it goes from being punched in the bullhorn, which glanced into his face.
And another member, a councilman, Ariel Trot, something or other, I forgot the name.
Another person said, I saw my dear friend and MPP get punched in the face.
Harden comes out and says, okay, someone hit the microphone and went into my face.
The other person comes out right after and says, just to clarify, I saw someone hit the bullhorn into Joel Harden's face.
But there's video.
There's video.
And there's no video of anyone even hitting the bullhorn into his face.
So he gets caught in a bold-faced lie.
CBC doesn't touch it.
Obviously, they don't touch it.
CTV doesn't touch it.
Yahoo News ran an article affirming Joel Harden's story.
And as far as I know, they never ran in a random, despite the fact that the inaccuracy of the original story was brought to the attention of the guy.
And that's it.
A sitting member of provincial parliament lied about a hate crime to demonize these people, gets called on his lie, shifts his story, and then, oh, then he does an interview with somebody on Toronto Radio and can't keep his lies in order.
Yeah, someone hit the microphone, but no, no, it was a punch.
And that's it.
And had it been real, there would have been laws enacted to prevent it.
There would have been protests shut down.
A sitting member of provincial parliament lies about being the victim of what would otherwise be a hate crime.
Gets called out by the international internet community.
Conclusively demonstrated nothing.
It just disappears into the wind.
That is unfair.
We know.
Anyways, Viva, this was a good podcast.
I'm so happy that you came back.
I'm going to come see you in Florida soon, though.
You're welcome.
You're going to show me the locals local.
I'm going to show you the local studio.
It's just outside of Miami.
It's beautiful.
There's an amazing sandwich spot around.
Dude, if you go deep sea fishing.
And you're game to go shark fishing?
I'm looking for a partner.
I don't want to kill the sharks.
They've done nothing to me.
From what I understand, the fish that they keep, they use and they give it to a homeless shelter for food.
I prefer to release if I can and if I know I'm going to eat it, then I'm happy to bop it on the head and eat it and say thanks to the life and for the nutrients.
Alright, we'll eat some sharks.
Is it safe to pet them?
No, I don't know.
We'll see.
Maybe we'll return the sharks.
We'll just eat some mahi-mahi, but get down to Florida.
