1:00See terms. Sorry about that. Everybody, I restarted my computer, I guess, and Stream Deck didn't start with the computer. And so it messed me all up, I apologize. You know, AI is going to kill us all. Or is it? It seems like a siaop. Yesterday I said, Hey, this language sounds real climate changey. Sounds really like they're trying to jack into your biggest fears and not necessarily trying to inform you, etc. So, you know, be careful with this, I think is what my advice was. And so I find it interesting that people are coming out, Elon Musk is coming out and saying,

2:03Yeah, this seems weird. This is, this seems artificial. So very, very artificial, right? Because AI, very interesting stuff happening there. We're actually going to start there. But then shortly after that, we're going to talk about trade. And the whole trade war hangover is, alcohol sales into the United States, or are roughly double what the United States sells into Canada. And so we did not calculate correctly with our strategy. Our strategy is a bad strategy, and I blame our idiotic government. Republican National Convention midterms edition, so Trump is, a lot of people don't like this. And my position on Trump promising, Trump has promised a $5,000 dividend if the Republicans win the House and the Senate in the midterms. And so I think he's going to win a lot of seats in the midterms. And I don't like it. I don't think that it's necessarily a good idea. I think Trump should be aiming for removing income tax personally.

3:05I think that's what, because he's been talking about that, I think that would work better. That's just giving people their own money back. This looks like directly buying votes. Like it just looks directly like buying votes. So I'll show that to you. And there's a bunch of other Republican National Convention midterms stuff going on. So I thought that was interesting, and we'll talk about that. $100 oil again, the Iran war is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, and trying to mess up Trump's economy, and Trump keeps doing what he's doing. And so the whole thing is still not framed correctly. And I've said it before, I'll say it again. Trump is at war with the British Crown and the franchisees of communism. The British Crown owns the franchise of communism and has franchisees China. It used to be Venezuela, Cuba too, and China, China, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea. These places are functioning like that. Trump's cutting them off. That's the line. That's the war. That's the versus. It's not Trump versus Iran. It's Trump versus the franchise owner, not the franchisee. And I think that that's, I think it's important.

4:05Most people don't understand it at all, like at all at all. And I think that that's concerning is not the right word, but there are concerning elements. And it is, if we don't talk about the reality of the situation, then we're not going to address it. And that's something that bothers me. So there's lots of you. Let's get to it first. Uncensored AI says 115 million views. This is the most artificially boosted post in X history. This is the guy yesterday. He says they're trying to get Congress to draft and pass regulations immediately. Jacob says I resigned from an anthropic yesterday. I spent the last three years doing pre-training research at both BLO and BLO, and I opened AI and an anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They're racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below. And so Jordan says, so Jacob Coxen, who dramatically resigned from an anthropic yesterday, worked there for a grand total of six weeks, he started with them in July.

5:05All of his socials appeared yesterday. It has all the signs of a highly coordinated op through Duma, mega donors, and the corporate media. Yeah, I was like, be careful with this language. It doesn't seem honest. It seems like, amp up that fear, baby. And that's, I mean, part of the course of these days. Elon Musk is responding to this as well. Theo says 24-hour check-in, 123 million views, 656,000 likes, 190,000 followers. I've never seen any AI safety tweet go this viral before, ever. And Elon Musk says, I don't think there's ever, this has ever happened for a post from a new account with almost no prior activity. Huh, it's an advertising campaign, guys. It's an advertising campaign. You know, get numbers like that without paying for them, especially on a new account. Oh, look at that pre-cogs. There you go. Anthropic, usual, unusual way else says, Anthropic is reportedly developing a predictive surveillance system to monitor anti-AI activists, potentially learning police before a crime occurs per reporting by the prospect. So we don't need pre-cogs anymore, but if you remember minority report, you'll know what a pre-cog is.

6:08Right? They, they, these were mind readers who could read the future too and spit out. Band-Dool is now available everywhere in the US. So you can get in on the sports action no matter where you are, including these places. May this year, most rewarding season ever with Band-Dool. Age and location restrictions apply. Product availability varies by market. C-FanDool.com for eligibility, gambling problem called 1-800-Gemmar. Do you hear that? That's sound, right? That means that summer is officially here. It means that grown adults just sprint into the street for a frozen dessert shaped like a cartoon. But this summer, Mint Mobile has a better tree. Every plan, including unlimited, is $15 a month. And unlike Ice Cream, it won't drip down your wrist or look nothing like the picture. Does anyone have any cash? Give it a try at MintMobile.com slash Switch.

7:08A front payment of $45 for three months. $90 for six months or $180 for a ball plan required. $15 a month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes, me slow and network is busy. See terms. Balls would lead them to the future criminal who they arrested before they could actually commit the crime. Right? And so preventing the crime. But also at the same time probably arresting some innocent people who didn't actually commit crimes. And they just made up in their head anyway. So spoiler alert. So good thing we've got AI to do that for us now. Yay. Here's let's do our trade stuff because the trade stuff is we miscalculated in a hilariously bad way. Right? Like they're going to do a documentary about this or somebody's going to do a documentary. Aaron Gunn's going to do a documentary about the fall of Canada to the 51st state or something like that. And this is going to be a footnote. This is going to be like Canada stupidly made this decision not realizing that the United States doing the same thing to them. Would bankrupt their decilaries and bankrupt their all of their alcohol that sells into the United States because the Canadian market just isn't big enough.

8:10We're barely a state for crying out. Table Salt says, no Canadian provinces banned US alcohol seemingly without first checking to see if they sell a lot more alcohol to the United States than they buy. This is a damn circus. So United States to Canada sells $744 million US dollars. Not a small amount. Right? That's a pretty that's a pretty healthy amount. Wine, $460 million, spirits, $238 million beer, $447 million, and Canada sells $1.4 billion to the United States. Whoops. Right? I've got the, I think it's right here. Right here. No, that's not it. Hold on. This guy. Of spirits Canada saying we sell more crown royal in Texas than we sell in Canada alone. We need access to the American market for crown royal to be viable. We operate on thin margins. Here he is. Well, we're operating the razor thin margins and you know, it just it just makes our products that much more, you know, less lucrative when it comes to selling in the US.

9:13And it's in a very important market for us. For example, you know, if we're looking at crown royal, we sell more crown royal in Texas than we do in all Canada. That's how exposed we are here. That we're operating that reason. That's how exposed we are here. We sell more crown royal in Texas. Wow. Isn't that wild and the Canadian government doesn't seem to be changing course. There's no sign that they're changing course to do anything differently than what they're doing now. Deep leak deep leaks says wow, head of the EPA Lee Zedlin says the Biden administration sent $160 million to a Canadian electricity vehicles company. The buses, the buses. It's the buses. Here is telling the story. I'll give you one more really quickly. There was $160 million that went to a Canadian electric vehicle bus manufacturer. They the Biden administration sent all of the money. Now you might say, hey, you produce the school bus and then we'll pay you. Or if you need some partial payments along the way, we'll give some money that makes sense. They gave all the money up front. Well, guess what? They just declared bankruptcy. They still haven't declared. They still haven't provided $95 million worth of school buses.

10:15Wow. 55 school districts. It's the American taxpayer that gets screwed. Yeah, this is that. I'll give you one more. Isn't that wild? The American taxpayer that gets screwed. Yeah, Mark Nixon says this could explain why the Canada US trade deal collapse. Newt Gingrich claims a major sticking point was Chinese goods being trans shipped through Canada into the United States, allowing China to effectively use Canada as a back door to the US market. It's hilarious. Canada loves trans anything. If true, this changes the entire story. Canadians were told this was about sovereignty and standing up to Trump, but was Washington actually demanding Canada crack down on Chinese trans shipments and did Canada refuse? They said, that's transphobic. You monster. The US side is released far more detail about what happened in these negotiations. Canada still hasn't released the deal. Release the deal. Newt Gingrich is telling the same story that I just read out. So we'll just skip it. But here is here is CBC watcher. Ian Lee offers a wake up call on Canada US trade leverage and I've been saying this for months. I've been saying this for as long as Karni has been an A-hole in office, I think. So and you can go back and check the record. I've said it consistently week after week after week. And now he's singing my song.

11:29Don't we Canadians tariff products that will hurt them like pot ash oil and gas. Well, these are the natural resources natural resources are commodities. That means there's a single price. They're priced typically of the single price pot ash gold nickel oil. Most of those natural resource commodities are a world price and they are a source you can source them often from other from other countries around the world. The second point is we have to keep in mind because there is this belief by many Canadians that we really can punish the Americans. The totality of our exports 400 billion going in the States is 1.5% of US GDP. And I don't think anyone's going to argue you can bring down any company or country because they lose 1.5% even if we eradicated all exports in the United States. It would affect 1.5% of US GDP. So it's because they're so large at 32 trillion. And we are relatively so small that we don't have the leverage or the clout or the muscle to use common language to inflict serious pain.

12:46But on the United States there's this belief that we can the numbers and this is arithmetic. This isn't theory. The numbers do not support the idea that a 2 trillion economy can devastate a 32 trillion economy the consorse from the rest of the world. There's no indication that we can win this in fact trying is probably idiotic and here we are trying anyway. Gosh, Marty up north says Friday is the 25th anniversary of the 9.11 terrorist attack on New York over 3000 people died that day including 24 Canadians. Karne could have set aside his differences with Trump for one day and attended offense in New York or alternatively he could have gone to Gander, Newfoundland instead he and the liberal cabinet are meeting in BAMF tomorrow and Friday. No, no, no, make matters worse. They've been out to make matters worse. They've invited Zelensky and his wife. What's going on? So statement by Prime Minister Karne on the visit of Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelensky to Canada to their BAMF meeting. Isn't that weird? It seems super weird. We're paying for all this.

13:52Shazzy says this is grab bag of governance money edition and Shazzy says something is allegedly happening at CIBC employees on Reddit are reporting another round of restructuring and layoffs including telephone banking. One commenter argues that work is being shifted overseas to the Philippines Guatemala and India. That part is unconfirmed but here's the bigger question. Canada just lost 42,000 jobs in August. Youth unemployment is 12.9% Ontario lost 18,000 jobs. At what point do we start having a serious conversation about Canadian companies eliminating Canadian jobs while expanding workforce is abroad? These aren't meaningless jobs. These are entry points into banking careers into banking careers in the middle class. If we can't create and retain jobs here, what exactly is the plan for the next generation? Oh, they're not planning on having an next generation. They're just planning on importing the replacements and handing the jobs to them, which hey, they're already doing. Ross Iran says proud of being a global leader in such insanity is this a parody account. So Brian says Alberta is a global leader in a carbon in carbon capture and storage.

14:59And today I was honored to be on hand to help break ground on enhanced energies origins carbon capture and storage hub just east of clive and Alberta. So carbon capture is it's trees everybody. It's trees. There's a whole climate system that trees do that job having having this machine that is not as nearly as efficient as a couple of trees or trees planted in the footprint of the factory that they've built. Like what kind of carbon footprint is the factory? We're storing carbon. How much carbon do you make? Don't ask that question. Next question. What are you? Wab canoe? I'll show you I'll show you the video that will make that joke funny in a minute. Damn. Market maniac says, so if you have a mortgage and you need to renew, maybe like get your rate locked in ASAP before October anyway breaking markets are now pricing in for Bank of Canada rate hikes over the next year, talking the overnight rate to three to quarter, the odds of an October hike have surged to 40%.

16:01The Bank of Canada weighted inflation didn't now Canadians pay the may pay the price may pay the price. Yeah, Canadians are paying the price man. Mia says, now this is pretty wild. I have another area for sex based stuff with the trans stuff, et cetera, et cetera. And there's only one thing in it, but it fits in its own category. This I think is crazy enough to be at the beginning of our grab bag of governance. And so these are real things that are really happening in Canada. And I know that daily it's like we get bombarded with awful terrible things happening in Canada. And it's difficult to like to look at it all and adapt it all to reality. You know what I'm saying? Like sometimes these things are just like, wow, it's just washes over you. It's like, oh man, I can't believe these things are happening. And yet they keep happening and it keeps getting worse and the stakes keep getting raised. And then it washes over you again. And you're like, it's that much worse already. I just I just ate lunch like, oh my gosh, how has it gotten worse since lunch time.

17:01And I know it's breakfast time, but still Mia says this doctor or this BC doctor was not comfortable. Good for him. administering puberty blockers to a 14 year old boy who has not been who has been confused by a society gone mad into thinking that he's a girl. So the boys family filed a human rights complaint and the doctor has been forced to pay $28,000. In BC, it's a case of chemically castrate healthy kids no matter how uncomfortable it makes you or face persecution. So there you go. Human rights tribunal orders BC doctor to pay after refusing to provide trans teen with puberty blockershot. How dare you not abuse this child? How dare you not chemically castrate him? Here's you pay $28,000 now for the human rights tribunal to be legitimate. Right? Holy smoke or unease. That's here's another case for reasons why the human rights tribunal should be abolished across Canada. Human rights, you have a right to chemically castrate yourself in your pursuit to become a woman.

18:01Wow, right? Things I didn't think I'd hear as an adult in the 80s. Wasted Canadians says after 55 years the Canadian snowbirds made their final appearance at the Toronto International Air Show. The snowbirds may have been the snowbirds have been part of Canadian heritage and history for over half a century. And yep, that's true. It's pretty sad that we're getting rid of our cultural stuff while we're importing another cultural the culture that seems incompatible with the West period. Black locks reporter said somebody was asking are you going to cover the Allison inquiry and I've covered the Allison inquiry a couple of times it's in the page show part. So sorry that it's not making it to the main show but sometimes there's just a structure and the structure reveals itself to me. I don't think that I force myself on the structure. The structure is what it is because I try and prioritize the most interesting stories and not that the Allison inquiry isn't interesting like the most pressing stories and stuff like that. And we have the national citizens inquiry that had had prime ministers and like had other people testifying right like I don't understand what makes it different.

19:09I'm not trying to throw shade at the Allison inquiry. I'm glad they're doing it I guess but couldn't they be arresting people shouldn't they be arresting people don't we have this information already. It's horrible like the stories coming out of it are horrible it's well done. I just I don't know what a successful Allison inquiry looks like what does if it's successful what does that look like charges are brought people are trials happen and maybe people go to jail. You know what I mean is that a successful inquiry or like what's a successful inquiry again maybe I'm missing it maybe I'm an idiot right like so back to this we'll get to the Allison inquiry we're at 16 minutes. So I don't think that we're going to get Allison inquiry on the main show today but I'll try and okay hold on we'll just do the Allison inquiry right me on okay Vincent says every agency responsible relies upon plausible night deniability don't give it to them reach out make a connection and form them then notify the Allison inquiry who is notified how when and by who affidavits of notifications will come in handy in future trials Dean says Dean Allison says as of now no mainstream media has covered the stories of the COVID-19.

20:15In fact Andrew Coinders is throwing shade saying it's bullshit which is clearly not true like it's clearly a very meaty thing but again fighting about is this a real thing is not arresting the criminals who are still in power now so that's weird right Steve is responding to the Allison inquiry Allison increases it's quite alarming that the legacy media outlets have no interest in documenting the heartbreaking stories of vaccine injured Canadians and then he tags all of the main stories of the media. And then Steve says one measles case is front page news and one million vaccine injured no coverage at all and right that's true here is a lawyer and this is like three minutes of very interesting testimony she talks about how the Canadian forces were forcing the troops against the against peoples advice they said don't do this but they did it anyway and so it's very it's very concerning where we're going to be. We're going to listen to two minutes. It's what a comedian probably got it's too fast. Sorry I try and listen to these things before sometimes I don't listen to them all but most of the time I try and listen to them here we go.

21:25I don't know what's with the crickets. I don't know what's with the Canadian forces. Square I know. Like I can't I can't imagine there's crickets in the room if there's crickets in the room like I'd be losing my mind if that's actually what it sounds like in the room that would be crazy. It feels like it's a post post production or something or other but anyway we're going to have to just deal with the crickets. So the king to serve. And in that covenant is that they will always be taking care of when something goes wrong. And in the COVID era and listening to Senator Johnson this morning my theory that the chief of defense staff knew how dangerous my journal was and he knew the risks that his hopes troops were going to face for an infection that was not they were not at risk for was true.

22:26He knew months before he brought in that mandate of the destruction that he had leashed upon the Canadian forces. And unfortunately with the way that our community and system works he will never face accountability for that. He is now retired he's coming out to a year after his retirement after a year of retirement he is untouchable by the laws of the Canadian forces. Band-Dool is now available everywhere in the US.

And I don't believe that I could ever convince a crown prosecutor to ever bring criminal charges. But the blood of many Canadian armed forces members and their families. Breast on his hands and they rest on the current chief of defense staff because she was a senior commanding officer. Even the surgeon general told him not to do this. Don't do this to the troops and was ignored his own chief medical officer.

24:33I don't know if we can ever possibly fix this. I can tell you that the federal court when this was brought before them treated it as a joke. It was funny to them. And I mean. I'm here because I can tell these stories and I would like to tell you that my story isn't unusual when isolated. But it's not I've talked to thousands of members and veterans that are vaccine injured. I know the stats don't the official stats don't show true number. I have medical doctors who served in the system who know who are vaccine injured themselves who are told do not report this. Report it is something else. So there you go.

25:33It's if only we knew how bad it really was. With that and then there's more as well. And I'll just jump ahead to Andrew coin here. Andrew coin says possibility one. There's this is a serious and significant inquiry in every single reporter in Ottawa is conspiring to cover it up. Sometimes they tell you exactly what's happening. Possibility to this is obvious horseshit. Dean says I'll say to you as well. Andrew have you seen any of the witnesses testimony so far before you make such offensive and despicable comments you might want to. And right and there there are just unbelievably terrible stories. Unbelievably terrible and so with that I've got to say goodbye to this stream. If you want the whole show head over to Canada probably calm if not that's okay. I'll be around tomorrow and for everybody else we'll carry on as soon as I kill the stream. Bandool is now available everywhere in the US.
