9am Vicky Davis - The Technocratic Tyranny The United Nations as an organization is world communism. The strategy to impose world communism on the people of the United States (and the other countries in this hemisphere) has been economic rather than military as the people were led to believe it would be. It's our own leaders who were the Pied Pipers leading us to this demise of the U.S. I'm working on a timeline that shows the who, when and what. 10am David Leskowski - Alberta Secession Referendum, Canada and US Relations - Treaties ceded Alberta in return for huge buckets of dollars have taken the Citizens initiate to court to stop the democratic vote -Discussions happening about what services Alberta will share with old Canada and the US after a Referendum makes Alberta independent. - Cancer Cures -Samuel Shepherd and the causes of boom in cancer causes caused by LBJ, Vietnam War, Corn growers, and fructose David Leskowski has worked for provincial and federal Services in Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC and Yukon Territories under Conservative, Liberal and NDP governments.

Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg. It's the twenty seventh day of April twenty twenty six and welcome to the show today. First off, we're going to start out at nine o'clock with Vicki Davis and then ten o'clock with David Laskowski from the Alberta Independence Movement right now. And he's just a wealth of knowledge. I love talking with David and I love talking with Vicki. How are you doing, Vicki? Hi, just fine. Thank you. Awesome. Awesome. Hard start to the day, I think, today for both of us. Yeah, I overslept. I wake up in the middle of the night, and I work for an hour or two, and then I go back to sleep. So that's what I did last night. Then, of course, you have to run like a crazy person to get logged in. Yeah. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't with a technology that's out there. We've been experiencing a whole lot of interruptions in Internet service lately, which is kind of suspect to me. You know, it's like the whole thing seems to be a little unstable. Instead of getting more stable, it seems to get less stable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure what they're doing, but I'm really unhappy with Google at this point. It's like they're trying to take over my machine. Well, they kind of can. They can get in the back door and do all sorts of things and leave and never let you know that they were there. I think they're updating my, or uploading my stuff because I get a message every so often that says, well, I can't remember if it says uploading, but that's what they're doing anyway. They're uploading my stuff. I don't know if they're putting it on their, cloud or whatever the hell, but they never asked me because I always say, no, you know, I don't, I don't want these people touching my machine. Right. Well, the nice thing is, is that there are several copies out there that, that exist. And so, you know, they can, if they try to alter it in any way, shape or form, there is a backup. Oh, thank you. Yeah. I appreciate that. Yeah. So, you know, you gotta know who your friends are, right? Uh-huh. Yeah. So was your love says morning love. My net has been horrible for the past one and a half weeks. Yeah. Ours has been really bad. It's on and off. They keep screwing with my feed and it's okay. I just keep going. I'll get the message through to whoever needs to hear it. So this weekend I was down in Florida and that was very, very interesting. I was meeting with a couple of people who have a combined, uh, forty seven years in the intelligence community. And I really like these people. They're smart and they're focusing on what needs to be done. So when I look at that, a lot of people say, oh, they're all bad, all bad. I don't think that's the case. You know, it's we've got an internal war and you've got good guys and bad guys mixed in together. And until you spend time either checking things out a little bit or meeting with people, you're not going to know who's who in the zoo, you know? So, so that the jumping to conclusions thing is absurd. I, I, I had an interesting communication this week also with a gentleman named Chris Long. Do you, have you ever heard his name? No. Yeah. He is the grassroots chair for the MIGOP. I think that's what his title is. But anyhow, he has continuously, continuously attacked certain people that I'm assuming are non-establishment. And he did it this weekend. And then I went back this morning to see if he responded to my last post. And he pretty much took down every single post that I had and took down my ability to post because it was actually not just... you know, it was actually calling him out for doing character assassination on, you know, on good people. And we've got, we have got such a problem in the state of Michigan and it is the, the infighting and bickering. Nobody's focusing on the actual issues within the two major parties because same party they're working together. So I'm, you know, it's just the, it's the illusion that we have a choice. It's the illusion of, of two parties, but it's just one. They're all playing the same game. Both the Democrat Party was smurfing during the last election. The Republican Party, they were all smurfing. Lynn Rudd had basically hacked my credit card. I'd gone to an event and gave my credit card for that. The next thing you know, I've got all these campaign donations to candidates I never heard of from win red and their, their associates, which was kind of shocking. So if people think that anything's going to change by voting for any of those, any candidates in either parties, I got a bridge to sell you because you only get in place when you kiss the ring for the Republican and the Democrat parties, you're going to kiss the rings of the people that are trying to preserve the power and the money structure. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep, it's the power and money structure. It's not the sovereignty structure. Michigan is one of those states, the border state, that is in the process of reorganizing under regionalization. And I kind of assume that's why the guy from Alberta is coming on your program. Here, I want to show you something. Darren Weeks and I talked about that this weekend on our Saturday radio program. If you click on that link and do a search for ecoregion. My memory is just... It's Monday and you haven't had coffee, so how's that for an excuse? Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, I think it's just the lack of coffee, getting up on a Monday morning and going, oh, gosh, another week begins. Okay, so here we go. So what are we looking at? This is the show notes from the other program I do. Okay, do a search on the word ecosystem. Yeah, and you'll see links that I have in there about how they... This one right here? Yeah, how they're reorganizing more or less. I think it was presented as reorganizing our system of environmental management into ecoregions. But as it turns out, it's not just the environmentalism. This is how they've made us invasive species on the land. Because you're fighting an issue with water. Other people are fighting other things. That's because the EPA, the BLM redefined environmental management to be a regional function. And so I just wanted to put those links up there so that your guests in Alberta can see that it was the strategy to bring Alberta under this eco-regional management. It's really interesting how this has been very calculated, like takedown of our freedoms and the local management of anything. It's all collectivism. Yes, it is. It's been step-by-step conversion to a communist system. It's my belief that Michigan is actually the head of the snake, and that's for a number of reasons. We are so rich in resources, and we have all the water. We have the fresh water around us and such. But because we're so rich in resources, we're kind of like the crown jewel of resources. Yes, and I would not argue with you on that. there's so much money here too and i remember when i was traveling around the state and i was up by bay harbor we had an interaction up there that was kind of interesting this guy this guy came up and started talking to us and you know all most of the people that come up and talk to you when you're in politics are full of crap unless you know if they're part of the system i'm not talking about just everyday people i'm talking about the people who are big time politically active The majority of them are just full of crap. And so this guy comes up and he's got his little hook, line, and sinker trying to pull me in. Didn't work too well. But at any rate, he was saying, oh, you know, all of us billionaires live up here and we all have houses and we're all getting ready to go down to Naples on... about mid-October. Really? Well, that's kind of interesting, isn't it? You know, I'm not too impressed by money because it usually just makes people really stupid. And so anyhow, he's like, yeah, we don't like Tudor Dixon. None of us do. The DeVos says nobody likes Tudor Dixon. We'd like to do a fundraiser for you. Really? That's interesting, isn't it? You know, and ended up I gave him the one-finger salute to the sign when I walked outside and started getting texts that said, don't ever use our name in anything to promote you, even though they said that they would help, right? Because it was pretty clear that I wasn't real impressed with their little propaganda campaign that that he was trying to lodge. But one thing about it, some of us are not easy to lie to because some of us have a pretty good spidey sense for liars. Yes. You know, that it's actually kind of a fun thing to see as somebody who's a liar and watch, watch how their body language, everything that they do, even the words that come out of their mouth, if you're paying attention and you're not listening to the flattery or whatever else nonsense coming out of their mouth, you'll hear what they're really saying. And I think, I think it's a good, a good skill to cut to a good skill to, to cultivate in each of us. Yeah, if you can cultivate it, I don't know. Maybe you can train people to watch for facial signals for what they say and, you know, look for the contrary messages in their body movements and stuff. But another thing, too, is that it seems like the vast majority of people are for sale. Just, you know, offer them money. They'll do anything. Some of us are not like that. Right. I'm not like that. I'm not either. They want to get free stuff. They want free stuff and they want to sit at the big table or whatever. It's like whatever. I don't really find that to be incredibly helpful in any way, shape or form. I'd rather have a task list and just go down the task list, either one I create or somebody else. So it is. I agree with the statement you made about Michigan being ahead of the snake from lab. It is. It really is. When you look at when I was down this weekend in Florida, there was a gentleman there, which was he was probably one of. My favorite people that I have ever met. And the reason being is because he did a brain puke in the most elegant way I've ever seen. And started talking about where the United States is going based on the markets. And being able to kind of... go through everything and frame what was really going on. I expect to have him on the show. He said he would come on, but you all will find him incredibly, his art, his information, incredibly compelling. And once again, I'm, I'm kind of on the, I'm kind of on the, the side, not that I pick sides, but I'm kind of aligning more with the, Things are going in a very good direction right now, even though it looks kind of scary. If you look at things like the markets and how the pieces on the chessboard are being moved around, they're using people's fear a little bit to keep people busy. Do I agree with that? I don't know. I'm not gonna agree or disagree. If we can hit the goal of restoring freedom and getting rid of all the bad guys, I'm sick of the bad guys. We're all sick of the bad guys, right? So if we can get rid of the bad guys And we have to endure a little bit of nonsense for a while because, you know, all war is deception. That's clearly understood. It should be understood by everyone. So if you can look through the deception and look at the pieces and things that are being moved around, I think what's happening right now and what the Straits of Hormuz has always been about has been about breaking the Bank of London and the control that the Brits have had over the entire world. That could be, and that certainly does need to be done. Do you know about the organization of the City of London? Well, I know the livery system because you brought it up. And you've been teaching us about the livery system and also all of the treaties and agreements and such. But it may be new to some people. I love it when you go through things again. And it always makes things spark in my head. It's like if you hear something about five times, it's like, oh, not only do you get it, you really get it because you start connecting the dots. Yeah, well, I have to say that that goes double for me, too. I read things and I set them aside, you know, to save for later. And I'll go back a year or two or three years later and see things I didn't see before. And now things make sense. But it's not about timing. You know, they always say the teacher shows up when a student is ready. Well, that's interesting. Yeah. OK, well, the city of London. It's divided into two parts. There's the London metropolitan area, but then there is the City of London, which is a very small part, the original center of the city. but it has a very different organizational structure than any other place on earth that I know of. And it's absolutely brilliant for control of commerce. There are these organizations by essentially profession and the livery company is the organization for the profession and they essentially set the standards for the profession and setting standards is a really important concept that people should understand because when they hear oh we're going to set standards they consider the job done okay there's going to be standards but there's a heck of a lot of dirty business that you can do within standards. If somebody says standards to me, I think regulatory capture immediately. Because who says that their standards should be standard, right? Because most of them are making money off of it. It's like we've got one candidate in Michigan, Perry Johnson. And I just saw an ad for him this morning about setting standards and auditing companies and auditing this, that, and the other companies. The other thing, by whose standard, by the standards of people such as himself, who owns like a register, an ISO register, you know, that that's the area he works at. How's that working for everybody? We're just going to create another layer of bureaucratic administrative bull crap. I don't think it's a good idea. Just just saying, you know. Yeah. No, it isn't. That's what they did to our schools. That's how our K through twelve schools have been destroyed. Right. Their standards are to wreck the curriculum and insert things that basically are immoral and tear things down and teach them. Do you know how many people that we come across who can't even fill out a check? Yeah. It is shocking. Yeah, I have no doubt whatsoever. They really have destroyed the education system through standards. And that's how they're hiring perverts, you know, who are teaching filth to the little kids. And that just makes me so angry. Yeah, I get it. I got to show you something because this is interesting. Somebody popped up this morning after I posted this little baby, which I think is kind of cool, actually. The Justice Department will adopt firing squad as permitted method of execution as the Trump administration moves to ramp up and expedite capital punishment cases. And I got to tell you, somebody popped up and said, said, well, who decides, who decides? And I'm like, well, I would think that crimes against humanity and baby rape was a good place to start, but that's just me. Maybe, you know, it seems to me that bad behavior is pretty easy to discern when it comes to violent crimes, but court system doesn't seem to get it nailed down. So hopefully there's a There's a backup system. Hopefully it's perhaps a military backup system or some, you know, a bunch of good guys that, and guys, Michigan term for everybody, right? Men, women, that's the first gender neutral term in the world. But the good guys are out there working for getting rid of this intentional takedown of the United States through chaos, crime, and disruption. Yeah. Yeah. Yep, that's pretty close to what it is. It's just, you know, when they opened up our borders to international commerce, well, two things. First, they signed the NAFTA agreement and essentially opened up an international organization creating a North American free trade area. Whenever you hear the word free trade, go after those people, you know, like a pit bull. Because chances are they don't understand what free trade means. Free trade means end of your damn country. Well said. Directing to the point, right? Yeah, sorry. I guess because I overslept, I'm a little cranky this morning. You know what? Cranky works because it's authentic. Yeah, I don't very often just unleash on people, but occasionally I do. Well, you know what? I think that the soft approach with people anymore kind of isn't working. what's shocking to me is how many people are out there just living the best life and they're not paying attention to anything. There's a lot of people that have woken up. I'll give you that. A lot of people have woken up, which is really heartfelt, heartening to see. But there's still a lot of people that are just out there and they don't seem to get it. But I know that when I was down in Florida, one thing we talked about is I think that it's going to take a catastrophic event for people to actually wake up. Did you see what happened yesterday in the news with President Trump at the press corps dinner? No. You mean him getting shot at? I don't think he was actually shot at. I think it was more or less. How do I say it? It was somebody that was from the outside. The guy did take a shot at him. What's that? The guy did take a shot at him. I thought he never made it into the room. Oh, no, he made it in there. Yeah. I heard that he was on the outside. But anyhow, let's let's look at this just a minute. Now, I'll show you that I've got a few issues with the with the. Let's see if we can get us both up here. I have a few issues with this video. So and I'll tell you why. Watch what happens here. OK, chaos ensues. Grab his Vance. Mike Johnson gets taken out. These guys around President Trump are sitting there waiting to get a bagel delivered to them. And they finally get them up and walk them out. The guys with the suits come in. Tactical gear. Well, wait a minute. Was that the correspondence dinner? Yeah, that's the correspondence dinner. Oh, okay, okay, yeah. So I just have a few questions. Why would they grab J.D. Vance and get him out where the two guys are sitting there just kind of pondering what they're bringing for dessert or whatever? I mean, they're waiting. I don't know what they're doing. But they're sitting there looking at him. Watch these guys over here. There goes Vance. There's these guys here. They're kind of walking around going, what, what? Yeah, I don't know, but I – I think I would have been under the table, actually. But I don't think you'd want to get up and run with the Secret Service on high active duty. What do you think that they would have jumped around him instead of looking around like, what's going on? What's going on? I'm pretty extra sure that that's not exactly what somebody who's actually trained to protect somebody would do. They would sit there and look around with him. Yeah, it just it's out of order. It just seems weird to me. And and I don't know, I've been at a lot of events and I just don't believe that anybody can actually get through their security because there's just there's just so much of it. You know, I've been to events where they killed the phones of a mile in a mile radius around where we were. You had no service for about a mile around where we were. Well, I, I am Suspicious of just about everything. And I, so I tend not to talk about that too much because I don't really want to pass on my cynicism to other people. They have to make up their own minds. They can make up their own minds, but I'm still going to talk about it because, you know, it's like I want to say, well, this just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. So it's my own opinion. Somebody let him in, you know. You bet. That's got to be it. You bet. But I guess I just don't understand the entire episode there, what was trying to be accomplished by who the players were and why was it so out of order? It just doesn't make any sense. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, well, it doesn't make any sense to me either that he would be able to get into the event. I mean, you know, regardless of what way, you know, through the kitchen, through the bathroom window, how did he happen to be able to get into an event where the president was? Well, and look at, I think Livette said before the meeting too, shots will be fired tonight. Ha, ha, ha, ha. And starts laughing. I'm like, okay, it's just weird. You know, the whole thing about it was kind of weird. Well, you know, when something like that happens, support for the president surges. And, you know, maybe his presidency needed a boost here. I don't know, but all I know is, you know, you can spot the what the heck moment when at least I can spot the what the heck moment and start questioning. I think it's really, really a good thing to question everything. Personally, I think it's a, I think it's a great, a great idea. And it's something that we all should be doing is just question everything. There's something else I wanted to show you too. Let me see if I can find it here. Hope I saved it off. May or may not have. No, I guess I didn't save that off. So I'll have to look for it later. But, yeah, just a lot of stuff just does not make sense. And so I think it's a good exercise to question everything. I really do. Because if it looks wrong, there probably is something wrong with the picture. Well, and given the stakes, what's involved, our country really is at stake. Are we going to have a country or are we going to allow them to break it up into eco regions where you are just another one of the herd animals that they're managing? You know, I don't know how people can not understand that at this point. You know, maybe twenty years ago or twenty five years ago. It all would have been unthinkable. Actually, when I started researching it, it was unthinkable. And that's why I started researching and couldn't stop because I couldn't believe that the people within our government were selling out our own citizens. And it started with George Herbert Walker Bush, that piece of crap. And anybody who doubts what I'm saying, read the September, nineteen ninety New World Order speech that he gave at the UN. Read it. What's the gist of it? Gist of it is that they wanted to create a hemisphere-wide free trade area, which means no borders for commerce, open borders for commerce. And what does that mean? You're living it. You are living it because one of these multinational corporations, Nestle, bought the mineral rights for your state. Water is a mineral. And so, well, from your point of view, they're stealing their water. From their point of view, they're taking what they bought. Well, and the thing of it is, is that the first contract that they signed to be able to extract water, the permit, was two hundred fifty dollars to take out billions of gallons of water from the state. Second one, then they renewed it was four hundred and something dollars. And they took that from from the state, from us, we the people, because they've literally eroded the the the ground right from underneath our feet, which is, which is not only deceptive and shameful. And anybody that says that they didn't know they, of course, of course they knew they knew exactly what they were doing. Of course. Yes. Yeah. And it's called the multinational investment agreement. Everybody looked that up. Multinational investment agreement. Do you have a link for it that would be best? Yeah, I'll find it. Yeah, put it in the private chat and then I'll put that up. While you're looking for that, I want to show you this. So I'm kind of a little bit needing to go over this just a little bit because it does bother me enough because I don't like being lied to and I don't like deception. But check this out while you're looking. See if I can get it to... Oh, wow, the sound is not playing. Isn't that special? Let me try that again. I've got to see if I can make this work because I feel like this could, this is a pretty important part, piece of the puzzle here that we need to consider all things, right? All right. Let me see if I can get to it. I'm going to take me a minute. I know it will come up. I feel it in my bones. Did you put it up? Oh, you can't. We've got it. All right. Hang on a minute. Keep going. I'll be there in just a second. Yeah. Well, I have a lot of articles. Okay. Here we go. This is the on the fly research going on here, trying to bring pertinent things forward. And since we are staff, not only are we on here, but we're also staff sometimes takes us a minute. Okay, that's one. And I'll get another one because the agreements that created the World Trade Organization included trade in goods, meaning commodities, products. It also meant trade in services, which is why our country has been flooded with H-I-B visa holders. and illegals walking across the border. You think they're illegal aliens. No, they are service providers under the international agreements. Seriously? Yeah. Okay. I cannot. The sound was working and now the sound is not working. This is so weird. So weird. Okay. Well, that's okay. Because it started working, but now it's not. Put the link in the window, and I'll see if I can get the sound. Put the link in the window. Okay. Hang on a minute. Let's go to your thing first, and then I'll put it in there and see what we can do. Because I think they're screwing with us. That's okay. Yeah. I guess we don't want to destroy the illusion for people too quickly. The illusion of competence here? Oh, my goodness. I've got such a problem going on right now. Hold on here. Let me see if I can get that down. See, I have an article about Kansas here somewhere that really kind of goes into that. There we go. Okay, that was weird. It even kicked me right out of the studio when I did that. Really? I don't know why it kicked me out, but it literally kicked me out. And I don't know what exactly happened. I'm going to try this again because now it's got me curious. And let's see what's going on in here. This is so weird. Let's try it again. Kicks me out. Okay, here we go. This is quite a day here. All right, so somebody's screwing with us, but that's okay. We're going to keep going. So slave trading in the management system, trade and services. Yeah, that's when American citizens were reduced. simply to a tradable commodity on the world market. Wow. So give us some background on this. So July of nineteen ninety five. Yeah, that's when the Senate voted to approve the what's called the Marrakesh agreement that established the World Trade Organization. The World Trade Organization is like the World Health Organization. It's the lead UN governing agency for the function, is the best way that I can say it. Because it's kind of like modeled, well, They are trying to become a governing system. And so that was nineteen ninety five. But the first agreement that was signed was the NAFTA agreement. It created the North American Union, Canada, the United States and Mexico. Ultimately, the idea is to have a governing structure of the Americas, which is the entire continental structure of the Americas. And they plan on having a governing system sitting over the top of our countries. And you can look at one organization. It takes a lot of research and reading to drill down to this level. But it's doable. And actually, it's a heck of a lot easier now than it was when I started. Because when I started, everybody thought I was some lunatic conspiracy theorist. And I was never anything of the sort. OK, so we've got Kansas City being the transportation hub for the United States? Yeah, because it, of course, is right at the center of the country. But it also, for commerce, I don't know if I have the image there, of a new trade route coming from Shanghai to ports in southern Mexico, up through Mexico and into Kansas City, to the Kansas City Smart Port. This is an interesting quote. To capitalize on what Cleaver calls a river of trade, Kansas City is hosting the second summit of mayors to promote the International Trade Corridor Partnership. River of trade is a very important concept. Under international, actually started under Admiralty law, they passed a law saying that for countries that are landlocked, they could become connected to a seaport by defining a land route directly from the sea inland to an inland port. And you can look that up. It's the Barcelona Act of nineteen twenty one. And what it does is. By a waterway or or a land route and inland. Location like Kansas City. can become a port under international law. And that's what they did with Kansas City. The route from the ports in Southern Mexico coming up through Mexico into actually Kansas and then to the smart port makes that an international port. So here's a crazy thought, and maybe I'm going in the wrong direction with this, but are our cities, by virtue of being a port, by going through another country, do they become property of that other country? No, no. If something comes through Mexico and it goes up to a city, do they declare that a port of that other country, or is it still just an international port? Is it international grounded at that point in time or is this, you know, the port there? The port has to be defined. It's a special area under international law. What they did do is expand it to include international airports. That was the significance when George Herbert Walker Trader Bush declared that he was going to start working on the enterprise of the Americas, and he brought together all forms of transportation under one department, the US Department of Transportation. So when they started deregulating and building this international system of commerce, it included not only land ports, but airports. So basically this whole thing though is ripping the country out of the hands of Americans. Absolutely. Yes. The entirety of it. I mean, that's a very simple version of what's gone on. Yeah. So the layering of the layering of other systems over the United States to supersede it in the. insurrection or the invasion that they have. They always just kind of like infiltrate. Infiltrate and then grab. It's like parasites. They are parasites. All they are parasites. That's exactly what it is. Okay, look at the last link that I just added to the chat room. That's cec.org. Okay. Well, so far so good. We might not, we must be paying attention here to what they want us to look at a little bit because it didn't shut me down yet. That was weird that it kicked everything off. All right, here we go. Three countries working together to protect the environment. Yeah. That goes back to that eco region idea that I talked to you about. And if you, if you look at the, Y to Y eco region that has Idaho, Montana, Alberta, up through the Yukon, up to Alaska, all in an eco region management area. And the land and the animals and everything in it have more standings. than people do. Wow. A lot of information in here. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's the organizational structure you're looking for is, you know, how are they converting? Basically disassembling, disbanding the United Nations. the United States as a nation state and replacing it with an EU lookalike called the North American Union. Well, look at how their messaging is too. Their messaging is all about things that normal people find valuable. Yes. Especially the environment, things that can threaten our lives and such. This goes back to the whole problem with people fearing and bad guys using fear to control people. Yeah. We really got to check that whole fear thing, guys. Just check it. Chuck it out the window. Because most of what's going on is a lie. Well, it's all a deception. If they would explain what they're doing, I would listen to it. I would analyze it. I might even agree with it. but not when they're doing it behind our backs, not when they're doing it in secret. If you want to do something, tell me and I'll decide, not you. That's the way I look at it. But for them to build this whole international organizational structure over the top of our country and the vast, vast majority of people don't even understand it, they don't know it's there. And that's just, it's wrong. Well, and it goes back to really looking into the truth and not being afraid to look at everything so that we are uncovering everything that's out there, turning over every single rock to find that nugget of truth and not being afraid to be wrong, but stating, you know, if we are wrong, then we just apologize and say, I thought that that's where we were going and new information came through. But we have to question everything at any rate. I'm going to see if I can get this thing to play here a minute. I'm stuck on this because I want you to see this. So it's kind of cool. Let's see if we can get this thing to work. See if you can hear it. There we go. It's all going off in Washington. Shots fired. An event that Donald Trump is speaking at. And now he's being pulled away from the Secret Service. Apparently there was a lone gunman. We are now just learning details. It is all brand new. Let's bring in John Roberts. He's on the phone with me right now. John, what can you tell us more about this shooting? Well, it didn't appear to actually occur inside the ballroom where we're all assembled for this dinner. All we heard was the sudden rushing and commotion and the Secret Service and all of the various agencies that protect people like Speaker Mike Johnson, who we see rushing into the room. People were told to get down. They started taking the protectors out. The president was whisked out of here, you know, heartbeat, along with everybody else who was on the head table up on the dais. Everyone's freaking out over the internet. You just have to remember we are watching a movie. All of this is staged. All of this now is trying to get more people's attention. We've got the King coming over to America on Monday. More people are going to be watching. We're at a stage where so much is going to be shown to us. And if you really don't think we're watching a movie, one, look at the images of Mike Johnson running. That's staged. If we listen to Caroline Lovett with her talk before the event started, listen to what she said. He is ready to rumble. I will tell you, this speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump. It'll be funny. It'll be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room. Shots fired. We have some shots fired tonight in the room. So everyone should tune in. It's going to be really great. I'm looking forward to hearing it. They're telling us, they're prepping us, and they're showing us that we are watching a massive performance. People still underestimate the technology that we actually have. The Secret Service are the very best. Any event like this would be so protected. There would never be a gunman that would even get close to it. So pay attention to all the reactions. Just know that we've got a lot of eyes now on, and we're all going to be asking questions of what's going to happen, meaning there's a lot more things to be shown to us very soon. Yeah. You know what? I would go find a better source than this guy. I thought he was kind of interesting at any rate, but I like to listen to all perspectives on things. But there was enough that I saw that didn't make sense to me that I was like, okay, whatever. Yeah. See, I wasn't even watching it. I don't watch Donald Trump anymore. I don't watch these events because it's just all BS as far as I'm concerned. But I would like to see in like C-SPAN or maybe on the White House, were those things really said at that time in that location? Because it is so easy to fabricate videos. Well, that is true. There's a lot of deep fakes. There's all kinds of ways that they can get around things, which is a good thing because that means we've learned a question. You know, look at anything that we see can be faked. Anything doesn't matter what it is. So depending on who's delivering the message, I'm of the opinion that why is anybody believing anything on the news anymore? And what I see happen is if something comes on the news that agrees with people's confer you know their biases it becomes confirmation bias and now they've got see i was right i was right you know but i really do think that we just need to question everything and go yeah it's probably all crap and we really don't know what's going on underneath the scenes unless you're unless you're there seeing it if it comes across on the news they're probably lying so yeah Go get yourself an ice cream cone today. Enjoy your good best life and trust God. How's that? Uh-huh. Yeah. I do think that researching is the way to go, though. You do have to get in like you have and read what's going on. Figure out what's going on underneath the facade that we're looking at. Yeah. It's important to understand the context of And it's important to understand what came before and then watch what comes after. Because we have been lied to so much. It's amazing that people haven't picked it up before. But I guess when we only had like three networks, they had a monopoly on current events on the public. And then in between those, they were selling products, you know, so. It used to be before CNN, it used to be that the news networks, they had access to putting up news and it wasn't a big moneymaker. It was a loss for the networks, right? And then all of a sudden, in comes CNN and now we are riveted to the news industry full time, which became its own propaganda arm and they make a lot of money with the news. The influencers do the same thing. A lot of influencers make a ton of money. And they're doing it for clicks because they get paid for it. Yeah. So, yeah, I don't really listen to the ones that are latecomers. You know, it's like they're all of a sudden huge, making a lot of money doing what they're doing. And, you know, I'm thinking, well, where the hell were you ten years ago? Oh, yeah, that's right. You were on a news network. Yeah. Have you ever thought about how many candidates were anchors for news networks? Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Crazy, right? Uh-huh. So what qualifies somebody for a job of being in office? Somebody who just delivers a message or somebody that knows what's going on and has researched it? No, I'd say you're pretty much right, the first one. It's what is your physical presence? How well do you deliver a message? And some of these bimbos on TV, I question whether they even understand the message that they're delivering. Now they're reading a teleprompter and then they get a nice cushy job in government somewhere to deliver the next message that they're handed. So this is interesting. So Donna Levin, which I know who that is, sure like that's believable in the Bill of Rights. Would that be, hang on a second, we're getting more things in. Protection of one of the people or stealing from the contract already made with you. And also, sounded like someone dropped a tray. What's the narrative? The show, The Simpson, showed Trump in a casket years ago, as well as other things that have happened, like the Hawaii fires. That's why they took Vance out first. They're prepping us. Kind of interesting. That's a person in the chat's perspective, which I tend to believe that there is a whole lot of predictive programming out there. Oh, Hollywood is about nothing but predictive programming. Oh, it is. And to hide who's doing the really dirty stuff, you know? Yeah. You only get in those places if you sold your soul. Yeah, I think that's true. And I think there's more truth to that than what people really understand. Yeah. And, you know, some people young guys young girls that go to hollywood and sell their souls basically just to get into some kind of uh public role i i i think i'm the abnormal one i always ran the other way i don't want to be public person. I don't want to be on your video or in your news. I don't want you to see me at all. I'd like to be an invisible person. but I guess most people are not like that. That was my plan until I got asked to run for governor. And I was like, why would you even ask me? I'm like, I'm like, I hate everybody out there that's in politics. Why, why would you even ask me to run? Because I did get asked to run. And I think it was probably because of my orneriness on stupid stuff, you know? But you're, but you're right. It's, it's a, It's a crazy time to be alive. I'm still waiting for David to come on. It's ten o'clock, so I'm sure he's going to be out in a minute because I talked to him last night. Yeah, maybe he overslept too. Yeah, it might be the day. Everybody needs some coffee this morning. Let me see if I can give him a quick call here and see where he is, and we'll just continue on until he shows up. Okay. I did send him the message this morning, the link, so we'll see if he got it. He was having internet problems last night too. So couldn't get text messages through him or anything. Well, let's see. He's in Alberta. That's just directly. Are you ready? Hello? Hmm. He probably said, oh, shoot. Hey, David. Are you ready? Okay. Yeah. We'll have to see if he can make it on or not. but he did see that I called at any rate. I could hear him say hi. And then that was it. So, We'll give him a few minutes to join here and I'm sure he'll be here momentarily. But is there anything else that's kind of on your mind today? Because it seems like there's a lot, there's just so much going on and you got to question everything. I have some more ideas on where we should look next based on some of the things that I heard this weekend. And it appears that we should kind of be focusing some of our attention on Japan. always on Japan, you know, follow what's happening there, follow what's happening in Germany. Why do you say Japan and why do you say Germany? Because they were two of the key countries in terms of technology, environmental technology. And I didn't realize that. I never thought about that. But Japan came over here and located in Silicon Valley in the early seventies. They talk about China coming over here and stealing technology. Well, Japan beat them to the punch. So Germany didn't do that that I know of. They did come into our country. Maybe in the nineties. I'm not sure when, but German technology has always been really good. And they come up with their own. I don't think they steal what they find, but I could be wrong. You know, who knows? Yeah, it's hard to tell sometimes. Things are so passed around. It's just like a patent office and such. Let me see if I can get this through to David. I don't know what's going on here, but we will try again. He may be having trouble with technology too because it just seems like it's everywhere. Well, I'm not having any trouble today. I On some channels, it seems like it takes longer to start the sound than it used to. I think they're just loading up our machines with crap. Could be. About the time you think you've got it figured out, they start slowing down again. I'm going to try calling him one more time and see if we can get this through. See if he's having problems here a minute. If there's anything else you want to talk about, you can go into any direction. Okay. Well, you know, geez, that's like Pandora's box. Okay. All right. Perfect. I'll see you in a minute. Bye-bye. Okay, so he's on his way, huh? Yeah, he said that it's not allowing his computer to connect with the microphone or the camera, so he's going to try his phone again. So this is what I'm talking about, about the wonky stuff going on out there in technology. We have a field office set up that we're working a job out of right now. And it has been a freaking nightmare. Like even watching the traffic being throttled at the tower by us. The great thing is that we can actually see what's going on. But you have to have some mad skills for that. And we do have people that have mad skills. So one of them being Ralph, the IT guy, so can see. exactly what's going on and where where it's coming from and what the problem is but it has been a very weird time to keep technology up and working the way it's supposed to very very possibly it's because of all of the ai that has been introduced in and that the grid isn't isn't ready for it last night we got in a huge discussion about energy basically the the pull from our electric grid with all of the electric cars and such. Something else that came up recently too that was really interesting was how much the insurance industries are now looking at the electric cars as being a negative. because the batteries are about four times heavier than it makes the cars heavier, way heavier than normal vehicles. And when you get in an accident with an electric vehicle, it does tremendous damage just because of the heaviness of the vehicle. Yeah. Well, and also they don't last very long. So you're creating an ecological disaster with those electric batteries. Yeah, we've been doing quite a bit of research into the nickel iron batteries, the old Edison batteries and such, because what we have right now is so incredibly wasteful. And there are just better ways of doing things. And some of that means to go back to how it used to be done. I met another guy this weekend who we've actually been studying this for quite a while, for a very long period of time. I met another guy this weekend who has put together an off-the-grid little village project. And they're using hemp, hemp in the walls as the insulator. It doesn't mold. It doesn't take on moisture or anything like that. And it seems to be I want to know exactly how they're doing it because I'm really curious about it. But there he mentioned the nickel iron batteries. And I was like, oh, my gosh, this is great because we've been studying how to do that. Because it's pretty much one of those things that will let, it needs some maintenance. You have to add water to it and potassium hydrate to it. But if you do that, they actually will pretty much perform forever. They don't go bad. So kind of an interesting, oh, here's David, kind of an interesting way to approach things. So that's kind of interesting. We'll see where this goes. Yeah, okay. All right. Well, then I'll say my goodbyes and have a great day. Hey, thanks for coming on today. I always enjoy and I always learn so much. It's just incredible how much I learn from you. But you've got a long time to ponder this and process it. So at any rate, I'm going to say goodbye to Vicki and we'll be on in exactly with David Laskowski on the Alberta Independence Movement and everything else. Good morning and welcome to Brandenburg News Network. I am Donna Brandenburg and it's the second hour of Brandenburg Network on this twenty seventh day of April twenty twenty six morning. David, how are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm just going to try plugging in a headset here. Give me a second. Yeah, no worries. Just glad you're able to come on today. We have had some weird technical issues in the last week and a half or so. I mean, really weird. So I'm not entirely surprised. Did I tell you what happened to my streaming services? No, I didn't. I don't know. Well, I have a Roku box. so i'm watching and i've been having all kinds of connectivity issues with my internet and then all of a sudden my whole stream starts shaking and then it goes blank and it pops back on again in youtube and everything is in chinese what everything i i thought nobody's gonna believe this i took my phone and i put it on camera and i and i i took a short video yeah every channel was chinese all the data was in chinese everything for a while and then after about five minutes the screen jiggled again and blanked it went back to english okay that's really weird i would say so yeah but that's that's canada i mean we've signed some security agreements with china now in our actual security like not trade i'm talking security so it could just be can it could just be uh my involvement with. You know, with the Internet and the fact that China is now. Incorporated into our systems, I mean. Well, it's the whole global technocracy that we've got going on out there. Their creepy little tentacles are in everything. If you've got a phone, they're watching. I actually watched a video this morning, a little bit disturbing, and it was all about the fact that Ford has included sensors as well as doing digital scans when you get in and they can shut your car off. if they detect that your emotions, now I got to check this out a little bit, but the video is pretty compelling, that they can shut your car off and not let it shift out of park if they detect that they're listening to your speech and everything else. I want to check into this. But the video that I saw was like, wow, you know, raises a few questions. And so now it's time to research to see if it's true. It's not just boards. It's every car made after twenty thirteen. OK, give me the background that you know on it, please. Oh, I know quite a bit about it. OK, let's go. OK. I mean, I'll give you a practical example. In twenty twenty three, I think July twenty twenty three, they announced that, I mean, using Terminator as a reference, they say Skynet is now active because their goal at one time was called IOT Internet of Things. So there's always been a bit of a protocol issue when a Bluetooth device wanted to talk to a Wi-Fi device or wanted to talk to a satellite device. But they got that all ironed out now. And with the data centers, every device, like your Roomba vacuum cleaner or your Nest, your doorbell or your smoke detector, your smart fridge, they have a protocol, either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, now it's interconnectivity with the car software so they want to know everything like not just to shut your car off but they like literally want to know what radio you listen to and what you're talking to privately so what the cars do like new from the factory at a certain year and i don't know if that was twenty twenty four twenty twenty five but they come new but now an older car going back to twenty thirteen the first thing I heard was a fellow with the Hyundai took his car in for a regular warranty check. When he got back in it, the screen said, you can't drive your car until you agree to our terms, our terms of reference here. So he scrolled and scrolled and scrolled at the bottom. It said, you have to give it permission for the manufacturer to shut the car off at his, at its discretion. So he said, I'm not doing this. So he went back inside and said, I didn't ask for this upgrade, and the mechanic said, I have no control over it. If you want to drive your car, that adjusts emissions controls and other things, and your car won't run without it, and I can't take that out. The guy said, well, I don't want to let you shut my car off whenever you decide to. The guy said, well, it's our car. You bought the hardware, but the thing that makes it run is Hyundai. They're not letting go of that. So he had to agree to it before he could actually, when he tried to start the car, he would run, but it wouldn't go anywhere. And when he agreed to the turbs, well, then he could drive the car. So upgrades are getting that shut off. And I think Joe Biden signed it into law that certain cars made at a certain time during his administration had to have the auto shutoff feature and the surveillance. So that was Joe Biden that signed that into law. Well, Obama set this up just beautifully through cash for clunkers, got getting rid of just millions of old cars in the United States that were perfectly good. And they, they ruined those cars, which is a shame because they were pushing everything to the new car protocol or giving them an advantage instead of just fixing what was there. And you used to be able to fix the cars. You can't fix the cars now without all sorts of computer equipment and such. Yeah, I think, I think in England there's a law there that's a fifteen year licensed mechanic illegal to fix. So any car that's older than fifteen, a licensed mechanic is not allowed to order parts or work on it. So you can have an older a car older than fifteen is not that old. I mean, considering how good cars were even the year two thousand. But it's illegal for a mechanic to work on it. And in China. I follow a travel log. There's a lady called Itchy Boots from the Netherlands, and she drives her motorcycle all around the world. I like it because it's unfiltered pretty much. She just turns the camera on. She goes from country to country to country. And in China, she was not allowed to drive on the highway or go into a city or into a hotel or buy fuel without a guide. The Chinese Communist government had to give her a guide to make sure she didn't go off the beaten path. Really? She wasn't. Yeah, she wasn't even allowed to buy fuel unless he was with her with a certain card. He had to prove that he was a guide for her. They provided him with a motorcycle and everything. Yeah, it was really, you know, really dystopian. But she noticed that there was all new motorcycles in China and apparently it's thirteen years. So at thirteen years, the police actually monitor your vehicle as it's being driven and it'll shut off if it's fourteen years old. You can't put fuel in it. You can't fix it or do anything. or even sell it so i mean it's not it's not just one administration it's worldwide they they don't want you driving a car that can't spy on you you know and then the fit i think it might have started with the fifteen minute cities too like it's called geo fencing where you're in your your zone in your city and it keeps track of how many trips you make outside of fifteen minutes of your house how many times you leave and where you go. And then at a certain point, your car just won't leave your, your little zone around your fifteen minutes from your house. So you think about it when they pass these laws, they got to have some way to enforce it. And that's part of it. Wow. That's wild. Yeah. The one, the one I heard in the United States was, uh, uh, I think it was a Japanese made car. It wasn't a Ford, but, uh, uncle Tony's garage. If you want to check uncle Tony's garage, um, The cause of it was a guy got in his car with his cell phone on. And so he started driving, but he drove it into the desert somewhere. So as he's driving into the desert, when he lost his cell phone signal, his car shut off. Well, exactly. So he's in the desert. And of course, that's why you carry a cell phone. But the cell phone didn't work because that's why the car shut off. So eventually he hitchhiked and he got somebody to get there with the car. Tony showed up and they worked on the car and it was the software was making it stop. So they told it back to the dealership and the dealer asked him, did you have your cell phone on when you got in the car? And he said, yeah. He says, well, because of IOT, your car knew your cell phone was on because it's always listening through your cell phone. And I think it was General Motors. They took advantage of the fact that your cell phone was on. to download the upgrade to your computer while you were driving. So if he didn't have a cell phone on when he left home, the GM wouldn't have known that there was an access point to contact his communication device. They wouldn't have tried to do it while he's driving. But he said, I didn't give permission for them to use my phone. And the dealer said, well, it's in your terms when you buy the car. that it'll use anything it wants. It'll use your satellite radio, or it'll use your cell phone, or if you're at home, it'll grab your wifi if it can. And even if it can, it'll, it'll batch collected information. And as you drive by other people's houses, if there's an open wifi, it'll dump information to other houses that aren't secured as it's driving by in order to give your information quickly to the data center. But in this case, Yeah, people that have a cell phone when they get in the car, anytime the dealer wants to add a feature that whatever they want to, it just uses your phone. And that's why sometimes your phone gets really slow because some other feature is using your phone as a device. You don't even know it's doing it. So with him, that's what happened. And the dealer said, yeah, you just got unlucky that it was in the middle of the upgrade and the upgrade affected the spark control and the running of the motor. when you went out of range so the car was depending on your cell phone and then you cut it off it stopped so then he had to take it back to the dealer and it really messed up the car so apparently the dealer was not able to easily reflash the computer they had to get the manufacturer to reflash it wow yeah so i don't know what i don't know what the lesson is there i mean most people drive like i drive with my cell phone on but That's pretty wild. Yeah, it is. Yeah. So, you know, this, once again, all this technology, it depends on whether it's in the good guy's hands or the bad guy's hands. Anything can be used for good or it can go right straight to Terminator, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I'm saying I'm having fun with it, but I have a software system on my laptop. called four scan, not Ford with the D but F O R scan. So I drive Ford's because four scan is actually the dealership software. So when I hook my laptop to my car, I'm hooking with the same laptop that the dealership does. So I can actually go into my body control module and my ECM that runs the car and see what, what features are turned on and I can turn them off. And it only works with Mazda that Ford has made or the Ford car. no other car allows uh anybody to have that software so i'm kind of i'm kind of stuck with fords for now because i i have the ability to turn features on and off and do things like that but uh more about that that sounds interesting yeah i know some mechanics when they get a car that's just totally stuck like this uh there's a system called can bus can bus is like a a parallel computer communication device in your car that interconnects everything. It's a nightmare in some European cars. A lot of mechanics are going to places like Haltech and Holley, and they're buying a driving computer. They're ripping the wires out of a car, replacing it with an aftermarket fuel injection system and wiring harness. Now, you're driving the same car, but you're not using the factory computer anymore. So nobody really knows. Yeah, there's a workaround. There's always a workaround for anything if you think hard enough. Yeah. And you're ornery enough to try to figure it out, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. In Canada, I think most of the United States, we're still allowed to have classic cars. Like in California, I think they call it Jay Leno's law. I think Jay Leno was a guy successful in California. they're always first to be dystopian so in california they got him to pass the citizens proposition or maybe he went right to the government so if you have a classic car and it's insured with a classic car insurance policy you're allowed to drive it you know original regardless of how old it is so but in canada it's never been an issue and i don't think most states have a problem if you have an older car you know go to a place like hagerty get insurance you get a plate it's a classic like i like I like the classics that I have because I don't have to pay any renewal fees and I have no annual inspections. As soon as it falls into a classic category, you get a plate for life and that's it. So, so there, there, another workaround to their, to their nonsense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The only thing is with the classic car insurance, I can't use that car for driving back and forth to work or doing any business. So it's a pleasure use only, but I mean, You know, my my nineteen sixties cars and the fifty sevens and the forties. I mean, why would I want to drive it back and forth to work anyway? So what kind of cars do you have? Oh, I'm working on a forty seven Studebaker truck and a fifty seven Ranchero. I have two sixty four Fairlane five hundreds, one stock and one I'm putting a hot rod motor into and about a sixty two. and a sixty one short box unibody Ford pickup truck. And I got eight motorcycles. Oh, wow. I got two two Zephyrs, two Zephyrs, a Mustang and a Triumph Spitfire. Oh, fun. Fun. Those Triumphs are pretty cute. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I got I always I mean, I got between twelve and twenty. I don't. Well, I tell you what, I think if they ever came after American classic cars, that would be fighting words right there because too many of us really enjoy the old cars. The culture here, I don't know if it is around you, is that there's a ton of old car car shows. Yeah. It's like, you know, one of those things to do. You know, you bring your cars out there and sit around in your lawn chair, drinking some coffee and such and just hanging out and talking to people. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah, we've got a big classic car culture in Canada, every province. It's a big deal. Cruise nights. We call it cruise nights. Yeah, we have that too. It's usually Saturday nights. People show up in parking lots all over the place and different types of car clubs too or gatherings, car shows and gatherings and meetups and that sort of thing. There's a big Model T community there. In Michigan, which is, that's kind of a funny, that's kind of a funny, quirky, quirky thing. But I don't know how many people know how they drive completely differently than any other car on the planet. So you kind of have to have some lessons and such. It's not like you're going to jump in and steal a Model T. That's not going to work. It's kind of a security system, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, even these days, if you have a car that's standard shift on the column, the younger guys in the club, they say that's what the young guys call a theft to turn. Nobody at a certain age knows how to shift it. Right. I have a funny story. I was going to a trade show years ago and I had to bring my equipment with me because I was creating, I was making TV commercials. And so I had different things I had to bring with me for that. And so I didn't have the transportation that would accommodate my cargo. So I rented a truck for the weekend to throw all my stuff in because I had a lot of stuff to bring. So I show up there and what I had rented, they didn't have it. So the guy behind the counter says, well, you know, I don't know what to do, but I've got this, I've got this semi out and back. And he said, can you drive a, can you drive a standard transmission? And I'm like, uh-huh. he's like well good because he said i can't even move the thing and i was like you're gonna pay for my gas on this trip I'm going down the highway, you know, bouncing around in the subway. He said, these truck drivers are going fast. Hey! It took me at least three hours to stop grumbling and cussing at the sky as I was headed to where I needed to go. Finally, I got over it and found the humor in it, but it did take me a little while. Guy leasing it to me can't even move the thing from the back of the parking lot, you know? Yeah. That's hilarious. Well, yeah, I mean, the skill set, if you either have it or you don't, and you're brought up on a farm or a rural area, and other people have no clue what you're talking about. Yeah, a clutch, a clutch, what do you do with a clutch, you know? Yeah, that's sad. That is really sad. Yeah, that's unexpected. I mean, you would think everybody at least would know how to drive it if they're good with it is another issue, but at least knowing how to do it, I mean, that's really sad. Yeah, I think I used to have my first new car that I bought was a Mustang and it was just a little four banger Mustang. But I did get a standard transmission. I actually love that standard transmission because if you gear down and such, you can save your brakes. I mean, it's incredible how much how much wear and tear on a vehicle. I think my first set of brakes lasted to ninety thousand miles. And I went into the guy that did maintenance on my car, and he's like, these are original brakes on here. And I'm like, okay. It's like, this is kind of incredible. He said, it's a testimony to your driving, your ability to drive. And also the fact that I had no money at the time, and I was cheap, and I had to do what it takes to get to work and such. Yeah, you drive like a trucker. You're looking two intersections ahead. Okay, that's another subject that we need to talk about at considerable length, which is the defensive driving mechanisms that apparently has been lost. Yeah. Yeah. Someone gets in a car and they've got their hands up like this and they're driving straight forward. They don't look right, left. They're like looking at the car in front of them and they crash. And you know why they crashed? Because they're not looking around to find out what's out there and in their own little world and such. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the lack of training and awareness of life. Yeah, which fills in every other part of life that we have, too. So I don't know. Yeah. I don't know for sure. But so where do you want to go this morning? What else do you want to talk about besides motorcycles, taking trips and mechanics and cars and the fact that they're spying on us all the time. And, and that should be a deterrent enough from people doing the bad, bad things. But apparently there's no justice in our court system. So nobody cares because they're like, nobody cares. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I can talk about some solutions right now. I'm talking to you on graphene. Have you heard of graphene? Go ahead and tell me what you want to. I'm not sure where you're going with this. Well, my cell phone, I pulled the plug on. Yeah, let's talk about that because I know you're on graphene. Yeah, it works great. The first thing I noticed was, you know, it's a Pixel Nine A, the brand new Pixel Nine A. So you you expect. They tell you with the phone on talking or idling, it's supposed to last a certain period of time. But that's with Android and Android, you know, it's got its spyware on there. So I switched to graphene and it's lasting. I bet you I could leave it here for four or five days and the battery would still be at ninety percent. For real. Wow. Oh, it's amazing. Like I. Like right now, it's at ninety seven percent. And I've used it quite a bit in the last day or so. And it's only gone down three percent. Do you have to get a new phone number for that or can you transfer? No, no, no. Seamless. Wow. It's called porting, porting it. So you've got to talk to your provider. So when you do this, you tell them to port it over. But I mean, even if you if you do it not the way I did it, if you just do it regularly, they just take the SIM out of your Android, plug it into this one. And then you have to change the graphene, though, unless you wait till next year. Then Motorola is coming out with a model with graphene pre-installed. And then you just go and buy it. It'll get easier next year. But I decided to be brave because I'm just so tired of getting spied on. I just thought I just had to do it. It wasn't bad. I had a couple of glitches. But, yeah, it's better. And I don't have to sign into any of my accounts. Like when I turn it on. and I enter any of my apps, sometimes if it's connected to Google, it'll say, okay, you're signing on for the first time because every time you use an app connected to one of the old Google apps or Microsoft apps or whatever, it automatically cancels all of the cookies, all of the advertising, all of the spyware. I think several times during the day it purges everything. So every time you use the app, it doesn't know who you are. But when you get into it, it just goes bang and you're in. And my other phone, the Samsung, oftentimes it would stop halfway and say, you have to sign into your Samsung account now. And then Google would pop up and say, you have to sign into your Google account now. And I'd never sign in. You know, it would take me to the app, but it would interrupt the flow and, you know, I get at least three different pieces of software spying on me because I have Google and Microsoft and Samsung and then whoever did the app. So maybe four recording everything I do. And that's why things kind of slow down. So when you get graphene, it eliminates all of the basic software. It eliminates the ads before. And they still manage to run the app without actually making me identify myself or give any identifiers. And I don't have to sign into anything else before I use the app. So it's working good this way. And I haven't really discovered any problem with the phone yet. It worked just as good as Android. Oh, that's good to know. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, get yourself a pixel and just go on the Internet. You plug a cord in and it is, you know, it gives you step by step instructions and it dumps your old one, put the new one on and then you just reload apps. And there you go. Oh, that's really interesting. Yeah. So what else is going on in Canada? oh well three or four things i guess we're doing what virginia is doing i'm watching the news and you've got what they call it redistricting redistricting this has been happening all over the United States, but there was a, an area, I think it was in Texas that they ruled it, that it is, uh, it is manipulating the vote. And so I'm hoping that this gets reversed all over the place because the, the redistricting they've done here, you can see that they are picking people in areas based on, uh, demographics and such, they're picking areas where the demographics beef that area up so they can get more votes. So it's vote rigging is what it is. Yep. Well, that's going on in Alberta right now. They hired a group, a commission, to do a study because our population is growing. And unfortunately, our federal government is trying to water us hillbillies and rednecks and farmers and you know, down by bringing in Somalis and people from India. So, you know, they decided we've got a big enough population growth, which is valid, you know, to look at the boundaries. We call them electoral district boundaries. And so they look at it. That's fine. But when you look at the report, basically what they did is they found two or three areas in the big cities. We have two big cities. We have Edmonton and Calgary. And they are trying to give extra districts and provincial members of parliament in areas where the immigrants have moved in, and reduce the number of seats where us hillbillies live. So, obviously, they're trying to, you know, give votes to the socialists. It's just very blatant. what they're doing very very blatant well they've got the judges in the judicial system in their back pocket so no no matter what i mean there's there's no one in our judicial system that's going to stand and and do the right thing or very few i should say very few so basically did you know in our last election in michigan we had very very few people that were running opposed There was no vote because there was only one person in that position. There wasn't even anyone that would run against them because the Bar Association has got this thing so locked down that they're all working together. It's absolutely... I didn't know that. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was shocked. I went down the ballot, and I think there was only one race that actually had... opposition or they weren't opposition i don't believe there's any opposition they pick who's on the ballot the republican party is picking who is able to run just like the democrat party they're the same party they're working they're really just working together we call it the uniparty here because i even had somebody that was running for office they said they wanted to run on the constitution party which is what the us taxpayers party is in michigan and i'm the chairman of that He said, I really want to run on the Constitution Party, U.S. Tax Service Party. But he calls me after about a month and a half and said, well, I did it. He said, I went and kissed the rings that I had to for the Republican Party to get in. I'm like, if you kiss the rings to get in, guess what? They already got you. You've already compromised. You've already decided to play ball with them. There is no way you're going to change anything from the inside. It's impossible. Wow. And people think that they want to be close to this, this, you know, entity of awe. And it's like, are you kidding me? I probably, I posted something this morning, which I don't know if I'm going to put it up right now, but there was a guy in Michigan who is the, who is the chairman of the grass, these grassroots chair of the Republican party. And all they do is, is snipe at people that are not their anointed ones and try to destroy them. It's all character assassination. So he lit into one guy, and I came and fired back at him a little bit on Facebook. You know what he did? After I made the last post to say, this is all you guys have is to go after people in the sniping and bickering and destroying the people within your own party. You can't even disagree with the Democrats anymore. You know, anymore you're going after people who are coming in to actually good people to try to do the right thing by we, the people. And you know what he did? He erased all of my replies to his, and they weren't mean they were just, they were thoughtful telling, telling him that this is, you know, this is what the problem is with the Republican party in the United States, which is becoming incredibly irrelevant. Because that's all they do. It's infighting constantly. They don't have any answers. They don't do anything to fix anything. It's all infighting. Now, is it any better in certain states like Florida? We keep hearing that Florida is a little better than other states in democracies. No, I don't think it is. In fact, I met with a bunch of guys that were down in Hillsborough County, down in Florida this past weekend. And the really sad thing is they were bringing up election interference and fraud. Basically, what's going on down there? Two of them were intelligence officers with a combined... history of forty seven years in intelligence and they were bringing real information to the forefront. People know what's going on. They just don't know how to fix it. The quickest way to fix it is for everybody to just say, you know what, who's responsibility to fix it? Is it? It's ours. You're going to have to run for office. And once we decide we get enough people in there running for office, it's going to be too big to rig. OK, that's the only way to fix it. What was the party that Ross Perot tried to start? The Tea Party? It was the Tea Party, wasn't it? I don't remember. I just remember his run, but I don't remember the name of the party. I actually voted for him. I voted for him, and the crazy thing was we actually went out. This is going to sound crazy, but we ended up leaving. We got our little signs out at the time and said, hey, there's somebody different here. Maybe we'll find a way out of this. And somebody that I was standing next to got shot with a BB gun. I was like, are you kidding me? They shot him right in the crotch with a BB gun. So I'm just like, this is nuts. The United States is absolutely out of control. Absolutely out of control. And that was when Pro was running. I'll tell you a funny story. The reason I remember his name, my daughter was really, really sick. She almost died. I had to take her to a Mayo Clinic hospital in Rochester to save her life. But she was still in Canada. You know, it's unfortunate. I was a fairly prominent conservative voice in my town because I was a national vice president of the party and I was a candidate in the federal election. And pretty much all the nursing staff were socialists. You know, they were liberals and whatever. So there's a little bit of animosity and you get suspicious. You think maybe it's better I just get my daughter out of here because they see our last name and they're not very nice to us because of their political leanings. You know, the town I ran in hasn't had anything but a socialist since nineteen thirty three. Like they're hardcore left wing. So, you know, of course, I got to run for the Conservatives in that town, the worst riding in Canada to try. But I like a challenge. So anyway, my daughter's in bed and we almost won an election in two thousand. So the leader of the party was Stockwell Dace. And Stockwell day and I were getting fairly friendly because I used to tour people around and he campaigned with me three or four times. And he met my daughter and, you know, we got to know each other a bit and then he found out my daughter was in the hospital. So she's in the hospital bed and then he sent her some flowers. Of course, everybody knows that, you know, it's the leader of the conservative party. They're sending my daughter flowers. And then there's a lady in town that we knew and, uh, her first name was Ross. And the organization that she worked for was the women's business organization called Paro, P-A-R-O. So when she called for the flowers, she said, send it to Jessica. And it was from Roz from Paro. But the lady heard that it was Ross Perot. In Canada, we thought Ross Perot was a real conservative thinker, like a real right-wing kind of a guy. So one day she gets flowers from the leader of the opposition of the country. The next day she gets flowers from Ross Perot. And she's saying, Dad, I don't know Ross Perot. I go, I don't know him either. I don't know why he'd be sending you flowers. And I didn't catch on that it was just a misunderstanding because Ross Perot was in the news and that's the way they took it. Then the nurse turned around and she looked at me and she says, well, I guess I can expect flowers from that effing George Bush next. That's pretty funny. I know. It was kind of funny. She wasn't wrong on Bush, though, so I'll give her kudos. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, when it all settles out. But, you know, we went through this in Canada, right, like before Alberta independence. Like I'm a known disruptor. um no not you yeah we struck we struggled with the same thing you're you're struggling with like i think everything in canada politically is a smaller scale except for the king right so we're still connect to that mess but you know we we had years and years where it's a two-party system and you know it's a uniparty you might as well say it's the same thing and i don't know if you applied the same kind of term like you have the term rhino to us, it's a red Tory. Tories, you know, the Conservatives and the Liberals have picked the colour red. So a red Tory means a member of the Uniparty. You're a Conservative in name only, but we don't use the word Chino like you use the word Rhino. So, you know, it became pretty obvious that it's all the same. But a lot of really, like, Conservative-thinking people, we tried. You know, I mean, we tried to support, tried to pick a good Conservative leader and join the constituency you know and put in our conservative candidates and i mean we really really really tried until we realized this is one party it makes no difference in canada whether you've got the conservative what at that time had adopted the word progressive conservative which is the stupidest darn term you can ever think of it's like why don't they just say communists or socialists when they say progressive it's the same i know I know. I know. I mean, progressive conservative is like, okay, I take one step forward and one step back and one step forward. It just, that makes no sense. Right. You're going to be progressive, but you're going to not be progressive. It's just ridiculous. So Progressive other communist goals. Maybe that's what it is. So, I mean, at some point we did all agree that it's just not working and we're very conscious about splitting the vote. I mean, The reason—the Conservatives have always been a minority in Canada, but the reason that we often win an election is because the left has always had two parties. So, I mean, I'm honest enough to admit it. The Conservatives are not—we're not the majority opinion in our country, but the left always has two parties. We've got the New Democratic Party, which used to have a different name. It was the CCF, the Commonwealth. uh, confederation party used to be a little more Christian and a little bit more related to farmers and union workers. It's kind of like a Christian labor party. It wasn't bad when it started, but I mean, they have become very communist in their, in their outlook, but nonetheless, there always were two parties on the left. So even if our, like our goal is always, if we ever get support, we win an election. because there's a whole bunch of people that don't vote, and then the left gets divided in half. So that's why the only reason Conservatives win here has always been two. But on the Conservative side, we thought, as soon as we split our Conservative voice up, we're going to lose at least two elections. Like, there's no hope of forming government, none. So we had to decide, are we going to survive absolutely for sure, knowing that we're not going to form government for at least two cycles, like eight to ten years? And at some point we had to do that. We had to pull a pin and say, we're done. So we formed a party called the Reform Party. And, you know, you get one MP and then you get three MPs and then you start spreading across the country. And it was a long haul. I mean, a lot of people just said, we like what you're doing. We'd love to have a party that represented our views. But we realized as soon as we split the vote, we're out of the running to form government. So we really had to convince people. prepare yourself because it's worth it because at the end we'll have actually a party that represents our views. That's how we feel here too. It's like with the constitution party. It's like so many people say we can't win if we don't run, you know, vote Republican. And I'm like, how's that working for you? Yeah. Hasn't, right? It's like this attack that was out that I was talking about by the grassroots chair. He was coming down on the McComb ex-chair, Mark Fortin, who I know is a very nice person, and he really tries to do the right thing. And he was basically just absolutely character assassinating them and saying the reason why this one candidate got in over the others was Stabenow over Abrams was because Mark Fortin split the vote. Well, Mark Fortin got twenty-six thousand votes and there was a sixty-seven thousand disparity between Stabenow and Abram. How could he possibly have been... The math isn't mathing, you know? And so it was just to attack him and his supporters or people that are around him. The guy is in his seventies. And I mean, he's a very nice man. And to just go into that direction, I mean, what a terrible thing. But the math wasn't mathing. And it's this constant... It's this constant... You know, beating on people. Don't split the vote. You're not splitting the vote. The vote is one vote for one uniparty, whether you vote Democrat or Republican. And I've said it several times. It's like saying, you know what? I'm going to make brownies with dog crap in it, but it's OK. Just go ahead and eat the brownies. It's going to be fine. The lesser of the two evils is still evil. You're still eating dog crap. You're not eating brownies. If it's already compromised, I don't understand why people aren't thinking for themselves and saying, I can't vote for something that has committed crimes. I'm not going to stand with people that have committed crimes and run my life on hopium that it's going to change. It's not going to change. Right. You're voting in the same people that have betrayed you for decades. Yeah, it's a tough call to make to start that whole process. And, you know, there was a way that made it available to us simply because our leader was in the province of Alberta and his father, Ernest Manning, was the premier and he was very well respected. So we got started at a high profile election. in an area with tremendous support right from the very beginning. That's really enabled the whole thing to start. It was a good, solid base. I don't know how you would start it otherwise. It'd be very difficult. Of course, we're a much smaller country. We're getting a lot of people that are absolutely disgusted with the Uniparty that are leaving and coming over. In fact, we just had two new county committees that are forming, and we're poised to grow very quickly. We've had a lot of people reaching out to us saying, we've got to do something to save this state and this nation. I mean, a lot of people are reaching out. I think we're there. I think the pain point has gotten high enough to wake people up to the reality that you're never going to win with the Uniparty. It's all about controlling the masses. They're never going to support you. They haven't yet. Our problem here is we formed this reform party and then we got to the point where The left had done such an attack on us. It was ludicrous the way they were successful, but they were evil, like evil, satanic people. When we formed the party, one-third of people that joined our new party were so disgusted with politics that they had nothing to do with any other party. So that was wonderful. A third of people had just said, I've always been out of politics. Now I think I can join. It was really good. we had the highest number of young people and the highest number of women and the highest number of people like good solid hard-working immigrants that came to this country and saw i did all the work to get here legally i started a business i suffered the pain of locating here and then i see these left-leaning people want to put me on welfare i want to work hard so we had some really good immigrants so if you look at the bench like the the mps that were there and the membership Very clearly, we were the least discriminatory, least misogynist, least anti-immigrant, anti-youth party. You know, we were the most broad based party that there was. But the leader of the Conservative Party, he said, you know what, just because they come from Alberta, let's do this. And they formulated an attack and they said, let's just start telling everybody in the East that this is a party. of retired, grumpy Alberta farmers. And that's all they are. And they're racist and they're misogynist. Let's just let's just start saying that. And even when there was like forty of them in the in the parliament and you look you look across there and we had like the highest number of women, the highest number of young people and the highest number of different color faces, most a lot of Chinese people, hardworking Chinese people and an African joint. You can just look and see who we are. But it didn't matter because the media is totally controlled by our federal parties. So they got away with it. And, you know, it was really a sad day when we realized we became the official opposition in the country. We did really, really well. But we realized we've hit a brick wall. Like they have used the name reform has been so related to this made up story that we're a bunch of grumpy farmers from Alberta who are misogynist and racist. We can't get past it. Like we tried everything we could, we just couldn't get past it. So we said, I guess we have to change our name and we have to do something. So, you know, we had a big convention and said, they've slandered us to the point that we have to say we give up. So we had a, what they call the United alternative movement to try to bring in some more people and say, well, we're, you know, inviting others in. So we had a convention and called it the United alternative and a few more people joined, not really a lot. but then we changed our name to the Canadian Alliance because we were an alliance of a lot of people who were just disgruntled with traditional politics. And so on that basis, we really expanded across the country and we increased to the point that we eliminated the Conservative Party. So the last year that we ran as the Canadian Alliance, the stalwart, Conservative Party they went down to two members in the federal parliament just two so they were decimated so at that point you know we had millions of dollars in the bank we had lots of donators and very few corporate donators all of our money came from the grassroots very reliable sorts of funding you know and of course as the wealthy people saw that the Progressive Conservative Party was was was failing all of their big rich donors just dumped just dumped them then what happened was we had to have a decision like do we merge with these progressive people do we take them over do we ignore them what do we do so in my opinion we made a bad move and we merged with them i said you know one bad apple is going to spoil a whole bunch but you know i i did not support the merger but you know i was the national vice president and the membership voted to merge so I said, I'll do what I can. So we merged with them. And, of course, immediately when the rest of them joined in, we formed government. So it did give us the government. But I was always suspicious that now we've got a lot of these stinkers. They're going to come into the party, and they're going to be destroying it from the inside. We're kind of at that stage now. Yeah, you can see it when it starts to happen. You can see it, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's unfortunate, but, you know, timing is everything because, you know, when Stephen Harper became the prime minister, we went into an economic crisis right after that. You know, two years after that, we had an economic crisis, and Stephen Harper is a very brilliant economist. So he was there at the right time, and he did stop a lot of bad things that were happening in Canada. He didn't do anything new or special or anything, but Canada really needed... a good, honest, conservative prime minister. Maybe the membership was right, but now we've got to deal with the rot that's inside the party. It's a challenge. I can see it happening because I was there from before the beginning, and a lot of people who joined it, they don't realize what it was like before these other people infiltrated. Every now and again, I try to say something and I get slapped down, but You know, I think there's still a little bit of hope for it yet. Well, and I think there you go. You're going back to the fact that people just want to get along with everybody and have everybody sitting at the table and have a great big happy party. That's great. Unless you're sitting with a snake. Yeah. You've got to know who you're talking to. And so I actually had somebody call me this week who was, hasn't been exactly a fan of mine and starts the conversation off right away. Hey sister, how you doing? And I'm like, Like, so since when did this little sisterhood thing begin? Because I was not aware of that previously, you know? Right, right. Yeah. It was kind of like a fact, quite actually, that she even had the guts to call me after some of the things she said. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's terrible. It's terrible. Yeah. It's interesting. I'm a little bit of a disruptor, too, like you. Because I call balls and strikes. Yeah. Yeah. I have, I have things I could put at the end of my name, but I don't. And I said, if I put anything at the end of my name, put an SD. Okay. You're funny. Best way to describe it. I mean, at least on our redistribution here, we haven't been to court yet on our redistribution. Cause I am thinking of running in the provincial election coming up and, uh, The rioting that I'm in with this gerrymandering that they're doing, they eliminated my rioting. Like the electoral district disappears. They gobble it up in order to add two districts in the city for the immigrants. So our government just voted and they say, we don't know what's going to happen, but we're saying no to the redistribution thing. We're just saying no. So we're kind of at that, well, what do we do now? Because they hired this big study and everybody expected it to change the boundary. So we literally don't know where our boundaries are right now. Oh, that's interesting. And who funded the study? You know, you've got all these, you have to have all these questions answered that they, they are so good at capturing person, you know, people's attention and, and they try to earn people's trust. And all of a sudden people think they know everything is going on. It's like, wait, so hold, hold, hold on a minute. Who is behind this? Who is actually the puppet that's got their hand up the behind moving the mouth here? Yeah. Yeah. Puppet master. That's behind the puppet. That's what I want to know. Yeah. Yeah. It's never going to end well. It's like, it's like whenever you see the proposals in the United States, there's not been one proposal that has ever been about what the proposal states. Not one. It's always about something else. And it's always about eroding our freedom. There's, I've never seen one that doesn't do that. Hmm. that's sad i mean i guess this time caught us by surprise because other times that we've adjusted the boundary it really wasn't that bad it kind of made sense you know as more people move in and you eat you know the biggest number to work backwards from is how many people do you want sitting in the parliament provincial parliament when we have it like we're hitting ninety now ninety one i think at some point know they put so many seats in the room and they say you know we've got eighty eighty five like a lot of people we just don't want to have it grow exponentially if we say one person is going to represent fifty vote fifty thousand voters because you kind of start with a number like how many voters should have their own representative and then as the numbers grow well of course you know the members are going to grow but you have to put a limit on it somewhere so you know i think up until this time there was a little bit of common sense to what they did But this time it was just ridiculous. It was so blatant that we're going to give the immigrants a bunch of votes and we're going to give the conservative rural people less votes. I mean, sorry. The vote of the national population is what they're doing. They're diluting our votes by this. And I hate to say it, but all of these charities like Catholic Charities, Lutheran Services, and All of them are involved in getting paid big bucks for moving people into the United States. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people believe that they're doing good things, but they're not looking in the right place. It's like they're getting a look over here while they're screwing you from the other side in some other area. It's unfortunate. But I think it goes back to people have to do a little bit more research on their own to find out what's really going on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you've heard any slander about us hard-hearted Albertans, but our government passed a couple of pieces of legislation. One of them was to fight back against the federal government sending people here to bankrupt us and to vote Communist. The approach they took is temporary foreign workers. When they come in, they tend not to go away, so students are coming from India. workers are coming from all over the world here and they always vote left wing, you know, when they first get here. So where are the paychecks coming from? Well, the government actually subsidizes them in order to do. That's the point. We're subsidized to be here. So of course, what are they going to vote there? Anybody that's getting a paycheck, they're going to vote themselves more. They're going to vote themselves raises. They're going to vote themselves the advantage over people who aren't taking a public, you know, that aren't on the goal. yeah so what our what our provincial government said is uh what if you're going to do that now what we're going to do is let you die if you get hurt we're not giving you health care so you come you come here your your your employer is not hiring a kid out of school because that's the problem you know kids out of school they need first level jobs so they need to serve coffee or you know, be a farm laborer or, you know, work on the street maintenance or something. You need a first level job. Well, the kids can't find jobs. Like we have a very high youth unemployment rate because the, the, you know, the businesses get a subsidized worker from another country. So why would they pay full price? So we're telling them, okay, if you want to do that, you, you buy them a health insurance program and you take care of them then. That's the way it should be. You decided to take them on. Why dump them on the rest of us? But that's a corporate method right now. All the developers are doing it. They will go in and buy a piece of property and demand that all of the services and infrastructure is built up, but they're not paying it. They end up raising our taxes and doing special assessment because, oh my goodness, never saw this coming. We got to build a new school now because it's overpopulated because we're just growing. Who's walking away with the money? It's the developers and all of the services that support them. They're literally stealing from the people. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're different in one respect that Canadians, when they're coming in, even as a refugee, everybody gets free health care. So it's a problem with us, you know, which costs us like, I think our province, we're almost at like nine hundred million dollars providing health care for people that shouldn't be in our country because their visas have expired. But then they convert. As soon as their visas expire, they say, I don't want to go back because I'll have trouble because of war or whatever. So then they apply for refugee status. And while they're a refugee, they're still getting free health care. So our problem is the default is you get everything for free. So we're trying to change that by saying, look, the province decides on health care. So in that circumstance, you're going to have to get your employer if they want to keep you here to buy your own insurance because we're not paying for it and i think like it looks like we're hard-hearted but my daughter went to australia and you know the education there is a business so she went to medical school and they got three hundred thousand dollars because there's no subsidy for a foreign student going to medical school there so even though she's there making them a lot of money She couldn't go to the country to attend school until she proved that she had fully paid up her health care. So she had to provide her own health care the whole time she was there. And she was paying them to be there. Like she wasn't earning anything. But she still, and I couldn't, when I visited her, like I can't go in the country and get a visa until I prove to them that I have a paid up health care. Because they tell me, you come to our country and hurt yourself. We're not helping you. You got to have your own health care when you get here. I mean, it's just the way it is there. So, I mean, there's examples of that. I think we're trying our best, but we'll see what happens. Tell me about the universal health care in Canada. How well is that working? Well, generally, it's good except for the waiting time. So the front end and the back end are bad. At the front end, people wait two and a half years to get hip surgery. A lot of people die waiting to get in because it's government run and the doctors work. They just invoice the government. So it doesn't matter how bad they are. Nobody's really in a hurry to do anything. So it's bad on the upfront. Alberta, we're trying to do something. We're trying to start a mixed system now where if you cannot afford it, you get on the waiting list. But if somebody can afford it in the way, we pull them out and give them the opportunity to subsidize And we're starting to get an alternate delivery. They speed things up. So we're doing something about that. On the downside, I mean, my friend who's a doctor, he moved out of Canada because, well, I don't know how to put it. The standards are pretty low. Like if you're working in Canada and you're a really bad doctor, there's a limit on how much you can be sued for. So a lot of doctors are not good doctors because there's no accountability. I hate to say that, but that's the only two things wrong with it. The other thing is if they need more MRI machines or more equipment or something, because the government has to approve everything, things move too slow. So that's the downside of it. Yeah. I mean, on the compassionate side, though, I mean, it is kind of cool in a way that you don't ever have to worry about it. You know, nobody goes bankrupt because you're sick. If you think you're a little bit sick, you end up in the hospital, and it turns out you have cancer, it doesn't affect anything. I mean, everything is covered. So you could, yeah, I mean, you could, for some reason, when they wanted to transplant my liver, though, they wanted me to pay twenty-five thousand dollars, you know, in the transplant program. Yeah, there was kind of a... That's odd. Yeah, I know, there's glitches. There's little glitches here and there where everything is covered well except for this and this and this i mean there's exclusions here and there that catch you by surprise but that's fairly rare like most most times all of cancer is covered any kind of child care is covered you have broken bones or you know if you have any you know brain surgery you need recovery and all that i mean it's all covered so nobody really worries about the cost of of of getting sick so it's compassionate in in that respect and maybe three quarters of the people that get sick here It's not a problem. You go into a good hospital, you know, you, you get, you get dealt with and you don't have to worry. You don't have to pay a bill when you leave. So it's okay. Do people typically go to a doctor's office first or they go right to the hospital? Well, they try to stop people from going to the hospital. They want you to go to see your doctor first before, and you cannot see a specialist unless you're referred by a family doctor. So we kind of got the same thing here actually, but Medicaid and we'll usually kick in and, and cover things for people who are, who they, they talked about universal healthcare, but I think we're actually closer to that than what people think we are because we have other mechanisms that cover it, but I, I'm not really sure. I'm not really sure too much on that. I haven't studied up on it a ton, but I, Looks to me like we've got some safety nets there if people don't have health care. I had one person I knew who started a little clinic away from the hospitals to try to catch people and give them an option. It was five hundred dollars for a year of primary care there. You go in and get anything and they had a little pharmacy. Wow. i thought it was a great idea actually so for five hundred dollars you could have total health care for yourself as a person just show up whenever you wanted to wow that's cheap it was it was kind of unique and i thought it was kind of an interesting model they were getting ready to put a dental office in there too but all of a sudden it just kind of didn't work So I'm not sure if they had the business model quite figured out. They had the heart model figured out. And I thought it was really inspiring and a great thing to try. The hospitals were actually paying them to... catch people before they went into the emergency room. So like one of the problems we have is a lot of moms will bring their kids in and go, they go straight to the emergency room if they don't have insurance. Or the last time I was in there, a lot of the people that are living on the streets, they give them their psych meds, they go out and sell it, come right back to the emergency room again. And so the emergency rooms are full of people. They, the emergency rooms have been full of people and, that play that game, unfortunately. Yeah, that does happen here. So they want you to see a doctor for everything you possibly can first. You also get to claim your premiums, right? When you buy health insurance, you get to claim it as an expense? No, you in America. Oh, do we get to claim our premiums? Yeah. Well, I don't believe so. Oh, okay. I don't at any rate, but I'm, I'm, I'm not sure that's even possible. If it is, somebody needs to coach me on that one. We actually have accountants that take care of our stuff. So, you know, and then the rules and the laws change so quickly here that I, I don't feel comfortable being, being, I suppose if I had, if I, if I had one W two that came in, it would be a different story, but ours is a little bit more complex than that. Yeah. Yeah. I like the Australian system, if I understand it correctly. And I haven't been there for a while. But the system they have there is a mixed system. So half the country is public, like Canada, and half is private. And I think the way it happened, my take on it, is the government had a British-type, Canadian-type government-run system where it was free. But the remote areas and the slowness of providing service was not acceptable. So they said, okay, in areas where there is no ability for the government to set up, we'll let doctors come in here, totally free enterprise. So you buy a healthcare plan, you can see those doctors. But you got to claim your healthcare premiums against your income as a one-for-one, dollar-for-dollar reduction on your income. Yeah. So the way it is now, my daughter, when she was working in general practice, she worked for both systems. And the L the, the criticism in Canada for private care is that they say the doctors are greedy and you know, they're working just to make money. So you don't get as good a healthcare because they're just greedy, you know, that kind of thing. But the way it is in Australia, it isn't the wealthy people at all. What determines whether you want to get private healthcare or public is where do you live in the country? So if you live in a part of the country where they started the public system, The doctors like to live somewhere. And I noticed in Australia, people are very connected to Sydney. They're connected to Melbourne. You know, there's certain places where they're just connected. So that's why good doctors are there because of the beach and the lifestyle and everything else. So it doesn't matter whether they're private or public. So if you go there, it's free and it's fine. They don't get poached. They call it poaching when a doctor gets, you know, he's a really good doctor in the private system and a You know, a greedy clinic comes along and says, hey, come work for us in our private clinic and we'll pay you more money. So they you know, the criticism that the doctors in a mixed system, all the good ones end up being pulled out of the private system. But that doesn't seem to be happening in Australia because it's more located where you locate. So then, you know, people with money, they put clinics in different parts of the country. But it's hard to live in some of these parts of the country. So, you know, the pay has to be equal. Nobody wants to be a doctor and lose money in a rural area. So they tend to be paid about the same. So if you're in public, you get it for free. If it's private, you get to claim it dollar for dollar. So you declare at the beginning of every year, you decide, am I going to be part of the public system? If so, well, then you get a card and you can go to any public clinic and it's free. If you decide you want to be part of the private system, you get a card for that. Your insurance company has to pay for it, but at the end of the year, you get to claim it against your taxes. It turns out it's exactly the same. So it doesn't, that's awesome because it gives people a choice. You know, I'm all about choice. People need to be able to choose whether anybody agrees or not. I like the freedom, the freedom part of it. And I think that's a good, and competition is always good. You know, I was going to say that that's what I thought was the best thing. So, so you have the private, the public system wants to be competitive with the private because the government doesn't want to lose patients. So some doctors say, I got some new technology here, some new diagnostic equipment. And they put it in. The public system says, you know what? People like this kind of a thing. It would be helpful to have the private doctors are using them. So why don't we pass it through a government here and let's buy it. Keep up with the private doctors. Same with private. If the government introduces something, the private doctors say, you know what? We can't let the public system be any better. So let's get that equipment, too. So there is competition there. you know that's healthy that's good i think that i think that's the best system and in alberta we're starting to allow excess like so anybody can't get in the queue fast enough they can get an insurance policy and they can take care of themselves that way so we're starting a blended system in alberta if people let us get away with it yeah how about encourage it sounds like a good idea Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. We covered a lot of subjects today. I've got a lot of comments in the chat and very interesting. The kids in Minnesota are going through the same. There are lots of stuff here. National football teams, men's versus women's shame was searching for the, I have to check that out. That should be interesting. And another good morning for mega punch. morning so anyhow um well how about this you want to say the prayer to end it for today and i always appreciate you coming on there's always my mind is always going wow and then i walk away asking a million questions and that's when i get it okay i gotta get on this and check this out so i love that so would you like to stay prayer and then we'll go all right okay yeah lord we thank you for this day and uh we just ask that we would see your hand moving in the united states and in canada and just help us to follow your lead god show us where to put our time and where to put our effort and we pray for people in need when their governments are failing them lord that you would take care of them because you're much better looking after people than our governments are that's for sure so i just uh pray that you bless donna and her family out there and blessings on this show and all the listeners lord god that you'd be with us today and we would uh See you in our lives in every part of it, our political life and our private life, Lord. We just wait for your return back to this earth, Jesus. In Jesus' name we give thanks. Amen. In Jesus' name, amen. Thank you very much. And bless President Trump and all the good guys. Everybody that's in authority over us, we've been told to do this. So I guess, guys, this is that part of the show that we all come to know and love. Ding, ding, ding, ding. My protest for the twenty twenty two stolen election. Um, uh, please go to Brenner for governor.com because I'm the best non-conceiver who's ever not conceived in the history of the United States of America. And I'd like to have a discussion with the right for president of the United States, president Donald J. Trump, bring cowboy boots, see who wears it better. I will win that one because I wear them every day. And then we'll talk about things and fix things. I think it'd be a great time. You know, it's like, it's like, uh, that's the way we get it done as we talk to each other. And I can honestly say, I really enjoy being on BNN and doing this and, and, interviewing people like David and Vicki and everyone else that I've interviewed. It's amazing. I've done probably thousands of interviews at this point in time because of how many people and the diversity of people that I've interviewed. And I tell you what, it's a great education. You find something new every day. Every day there's something new that you didn't know. And the process of educating and self-educating and helping to educate others brings the collective intelligence hopefully up as we all become more informed. So you guys have a great day today. I think I'll be on tomorrow. That's the plan. The plan is there. So God bless you all. God bless all those whom you love and God bless America and Canada. Make it a great day today. You know, it's all in those little choices we make every day. If things seem to be going not quite the way you want it to go, just hold on for a little bit because it's going to change. Nothing keeps going in one direction without going through some major change. And right now, I think the world is a little overdue for some change. So whatever comes next, buckle up, buckle in, because I think it could get really interesting. Anyway, stay on the line a minute, David, and we'll see everybody tomorrow.
