Hello, my friends. We have a strange new economy. I don't know if you know it. Businesses need Mark Carney's personal approval before they're allowed to open. They may be complying with the law, they may have all the money they need, but if Mark Carney finds them boring, he won't approve them. And he doesn't really have any explanation for what he likes and what he doesn't like. It's all very personal, very third world. You know, El Jefe, the chief. Well, you have to get the mob boss's approval. It's very strange. I think it's going to fail. It's a managed economy, not a free economy. I'll take you through his latest statements. And then later, Dre Humphrey live on location from the interior of B.C. when. Oh, there's a. There's a bit of a scrap. I'm glad we had some security for it because there was some shoving and pushing.

Oh, hi, everybody. I'm sorry I wasn't here yesterday. I was actually down for a few hours at Mar a Lago in Florida. I had been invited by James o', Keefe, formerly of Project Veritas, now with the o' Keefe Media Group, or omg. He's really, I think, America's leading undercover journalist. He's built a whole team of undercover journalists exposing scandals. And yesterday was his citizen journalism gala, and he invited me to attend, and I thought, well, I've got to go. And the fact that it was Mar a Lago, I think was very exciting. There was a chance the President would be there in the end there wasn't, but I still had to provide my details in advance for the Secret Service. I guess they're always on alert in case Trump does go down to his Florida home. It was a very fancy event as you can imagine it being at Mar a Lago. It was very large. I didn't count properly but I'd say there was between 500 and 1,000 people there. They even had an awards ceremony for best citizen journalist and some of our friends were there, including Andy Ngo who as you know, has been an expert on following antifa Savannah Hernandez. Anyway, that was very interesting to see. I think I know why he went fancy Mar a Lago and being, I guess, the fanciest. I think it's because citizen journalism is looked down on by the establishment, by snobby insiders. Oh, it's uncouth, it's uneducated. Where's your degree? Who do you think you are? Know your place. So a way to combat all that condescension and is to go to the fanciest, most powerful place you could think of. Mar a Lago is pretty fancy and powerful. Well, it's the President's home. So I think that was a deliberate strategy by James and his supporters to say, no, we're not nobodies, we're not outsiders. We are the media now. And it was exciting. There weren't. I don't think I saw, I saw one other Canadian down there. I saw people from other independent media was pretty cool. I think we should do the same thing in Canada and the Independent Press Gallery I think should give it a try again to recognize independent citizen journalism in Canada. It's not just rebel anymore. As you know, there's Juno and Western Standard and Epoch Times and. And then there's lots of sort of one person operations out there. It's growing not as densely as in America, but I think having an awards gala would serve the same purpose. It would recognize the work of independent journalists and it would maybe give a touch of fanciness if there was a gala with prizes. Anyhow, something to think about. Of course up here in Canada there are important things happening and in a moment we'll talk more with Drea Humphrey about what she's been reporting on from British Columbia about the unmarked graves controversy. But I can't get over what Mark Carney is saying in doing it's actually far worse than I thought it would be. He is doing exactly what he said he would do when he was a trustee at the World Economic Forum. The World Economic Forum. You might think, oh, it's capitalist, isn't it? I mean, all the billionaires go there. It's George Soros favorite place. It's Bill Gates favorite place. The world's largest Companies are there, BlackRock. And they're boss, Larry Fink is a trustee. So it would be easy to say those are all capitalists. That's right wing, as capitalism is typically called. But don't be fooled. I mean, you know in your bones that George Soros is not right wing. They believe in something there, that they've, they've invented a word. They do a lot of word inventing there. They've invented the phrase stakeholder capitalism. Well, that sounds pretty good. We're all stakeholders now. Stakeholder capitalism is different from shareholder capitalism. What's the difference between a shareholder and a stakeholder? A shareholder is someone who owns something who bought it and can sell it and can operate it because they own it. A stakeholder, well, that could be anybody, right? Anybody who wants to do anything with someone else's stuff. So for example, the owners of an oil company would be people who invest in it. So the company has money to operate and they would vote on decisions for that company to make. As long as the company is following the laws of the land, they can do whatever they like. Stakeholder capitalism says no, because Greta Thunberg has something to say. And what about global warming? And what about indigenous participation? And what about LGBTQ2? Like that whole movement of ESG, which is corporate DEI? ESG stands for environmental, social and governance. DEI, as you know, is diversity, equity, inclusion. Those are things that typically shareholders don't waste money on because not only are they costly payoffs to people who don't actually produce value, they undermine, they get in the way. If you are running a high tech company, you want the absolute best people to be your scientists. Even if that means, and in some cases it does, it's going to be disproportionately Asian Americans. I'm sorry to mention the stereotype, but statistically it's a fact. But if you say no, we have to have a certain racial mix and a certain gender mix. Are you really going to have the absolute top scientist in America? And so you can see the difference between a shareholder who would say, give me the best person for the job, whatever the race or sex, and a stakeholder who says, no, no, I'm in the George Floyd DEI Institute and I'm here to say you need this percentage of LGBT people This percentage of black people, this percentage of, you know, of women and men, nothing to do with expertise. So that's wef capitalism. It's stakeholder capitalism, not shareholder capitalism. Do you understand the difference now? In the last year or so, I think the World Economic Forum has started to implode a bit. Klaus Schwab, their founder and owner, has been hit with horrific accusations of abuse. And really, he's announced he's stepping down. He's like the Harvey Weinstein of globalists. Although it sort of surprised me to see Donald Trump said he's going to give a speech there this year, by the way. We'll be there, of course, but in real life, I think every country and many industries are abandoning this stakeholder capitalism, this socialism capitalism. I think they want to get rich or try not to be poor or in the case of Europe, they want to pay for a war, actually, or they want to invest and get ahead in high tech. Even Mark Carney's own project, which was called gfans, Global Financial alliance for Net Zero, it's disbanded all the banks that were part of Mark Carney's plan to decarbonize. They said, yeah, we're gonna go and make some money now in Donald Trump's America. Even Bill Gates says he's not so worried about global warming anymore. What? That was his thing. He wants more power to run artificial intelligence, and he's decided that, well, global warming will take care of itself. I want to get rich on AI.
