yo Josh. Operators are standing by. Raise yourself. Josh Holiday
Live starts.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
No Good Morning this Saturday morning. It is October the nineteenth.
We are live. I think you heard me clear my
throat before the intro. I am Joshy of the show
(00:48):
title Bert, who normally co hosts the show from the
Garden State, New Jersey. He has family affairs to tend
two this weekend, so you're just getting me, only me,
and hopefully that's not a disappointment to you. A ton
of stuff to cover. I hope you will, hope you
will stay tuned in, and I do welcome your calls.
(01:13):
Since I'm running solo here, it'd be nice to invite
some other voices on the show. You can call four
to one six four seven six yo. Josh six four
seven six yo. Josh is the telephone number here you
can reach out and maybe we'll get you on the air.
Here a ton of stuff to talk about. I mean,
(01:34):
it's just what is the world coming to? It's it's
craziness in the stays, all kinds of nuttiness, and now
this week nuttiness in Canada. I thought we would not
parallel the insanity that's happening there. I don't think we're
quite at that level yet, but it's getting there, I
quickly want to say, because we've I've talked about this
(01:55):
with Bert over the last couple of weeks. I was
a late comer to the television series The Boys. I
finally finished it the fourth season. I love it. Very gory,
very filthy, very funny, and very astute satire of current times.
(02:17):
It's it's a really fun show. Add to that the
fact that it is shot in and around Toronto. It
makes for great viewing if you live in in this
area because you can kind of spot different different locations,
like the main location, the main headquarters of the superheroes
in this particular show is is Roy Thompson Hall. In
(02:41):
the area around roy Thompson Hall is used quite a
bit for for press conferences and those types of things,
So I all I can say is. I recommend that
show and you should check it out The Boys on
Amazon Prime, and I if you if you're unfamiliar with
the show, I'm not. I'm not really into like superhero stuff.
(03:02):
I don't follow the Marvel stuff. It's just not for me.
So I was reluctant to watch this show initially because
you know, superhero is not my thing, not my thing.
And then two things changed my mind. One was, my friend,
UH had a role in this this most recent season,
(03:24):
so I, oh, you know, maybe we should start watching it.
And lots of people I know. Uh, now that I've watched,
I realized, oh, there's a lot a bunch of people
I know who are who are in it. And Uh.
The other thing was there was all kinds of fuss
at the beginning of this most recent season about a
human centipede, a scene which I thought, oh my god,
(03:47):
that's on TV. Uh, and it's it's it's cleverly done,
it's it's I recommenct. So the Boys on on Amazon Prime.
That's all I'm gonna say. I recommend it. Uh, this
hour lots to talk about.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It might make you angry, it might make you think,
and that's that's what we're here for. Uh So, I
first want to say, like, there seems to be this
this notion that Canada is broken, Canada, Canada is not
doing well, Trudeau's ruining Canada, Canada bro with no freedom.
(04:26):
And I think part of the reason there's a there's
a contingent of people that believe that is because there's
a ton of disinformation being spread online and the more
we learn about it, the more it makes sense. In
the in the US, recently it was revealed that the
Russians were funding a huge disinformation campaign aimed at getting
(04:50):
Donald Trump elected, and there was some spill over into Canada.
Some of these these Russian back sites where we're posting
anti Trudeau stuff. One of them had at least twelve
different anti anti Trudeau videos. And now this week we
learn that not just the Russians here in Canada, of
(05:14):
course they're doing stuff, but also the Indians, the government
of India is involved in trying to get Polyevra elected
and try and get Trudeau out. So, first of all,
I want to say, Canada is not broken. I've said
(05:37):
this on the show before many times. Canada is very
doing very, very very well. If you look at any
standard by which a country is measured Freedom Index, Happiness
of the People GDP, et cetera, et cetera. Anytime you
look at any of those actual factual charts, you will
(06:00):
see that Canada is at or near the top of
them all. There was even a recent one that came
out that was from Kearney's FDI Confidence Index. So this
is more of a business and investor investor predict prospect
and they said Canada is the country with the most
(06:24):
optimistic economic outlooks. So things are looking bright here. And
despite the fact that there's a contingent of people who
believe the country is broken, this is this is wrong basically,
And though you may loathe the justin Trudeau and and
that's what a lot of the misinformation has has ginned up.
They've been telling you, oh, Trudeau has been true? Is
(06:46):
this Trudeau is that? I think a lot of people
if you ask, if you ask some of these people
who are like, wow, Trudeau's got to go, if you
ask them why, I don't think they could articulate why.
I don't think they really really know what they're talking about.
Usually they're they're led by disinformation, misinformation and low information
voters so let's just first of all, let's say, let's
(07:09):
go over some of the accomplishments of the Trudeau government.
They introduced farmer care, they introduced inexpensive childcare, they just
recently introduced dental care, school lunches, historic poverty reduction, effective
(07:30):
environmental action, avoided the post pandemic recession. They've had the
highest wage growth in decades, the lowest unemployment since the
nineteen seventies, lowered the small business tax rate, lowered middle
class taxes, kept Canadians afloat and vaccinated during the pandemic,
consistently in the highest quality of and best of lists,
(07:54):
low inflation comparatively in the G seven, lowest debt to
GDP in the G seven, green tech, battery and auto
high paying jobs are booming, a ninety percent reduction in
boil water advisories, an increase of funding to the military, vets,
indigenous and health transfers, and the biggest housing initiative ever.
(08:17):
So those are concrete, actual accomplishments of this government. And
if you look back at the previous government, the Harper government,
I think you'd be loath to even name one accomplishment
of that government that had a positive effect on everyday Canadians.
I don't think you can name one. If you can
call me and let me know one positive thing that
(08:42):
helped everyday Canadians that was put forth by the Harper
government six four seven six yo, Josh again, crazy or
crazy times. We found out from the RCMP, who were
informed by the Five Eyes, which is basically a bunch
(09:05):
of of of the biggest countries have a network of intelligence.
They all talk to each other, the intelligence agencies, and
they are saying he was given the heads up. I
believe it was by by the FB behind the States.
They were given the heads up that something's going on here,
(09:25):
some of the politicians are compromised and there's disinformation being spread.
And of course we've we've found out about an actual
murder that happened as a result of of of some
of his interference. And I will say this, we mentioned
(09:47):
Harper and Harper I think he's got a bit of
his hand in the cookie jar here, a little bit.
He is not a nice man. He's always been a
bit of a slimeball. And he is the chair of
an organization called the International the International Democratic Union, and
(10:15):
this is an organism organization that sounds on the title
of it sounds good. Oh, he's trying to spread democracy
around the world, but uh, that's a bit of a
bit of a lie because it's actually not spreading democracy.
It's its purpose is to try and spread fascism to
(10:35):
various countries around the world. The I DU is involved
behind the scenes trying to trying to prop up leaders
that would would do fascist things, dictators essentially. Uh, one
of the members of this i DU that that Harper
is a chair of was caught up in all the
(10:58):
all the January six and all the scheming to steal
the election in the States, and he was a big
part of the I DU. And so that was a
good that was a good sign that, Okay, one of
those people is involved and I do you also is
a big supporter of Victor Orbon and basically they're their
(11:20):
their main goals to try and get dictators installed in
various governments around the world, to do the bidding of
the wealthy. And Harper, I imagine we'll find out, had his
hands all over this, Like he's he's a bit of
a puppet master with trying to get Polyev elected. He
(11:41):
has his hands all over that. But he's also pretty
close with Modi in India and again his his organizzation
he's working for and his main goal is to get
fascists elected. And sometimes I always find it funny there's
some people who say, oh, true, was a fascist this,
this person's a fascist. The lefts of fascists. These people
(12:04):
don't know what fascism is. It's it's not I'll here's
a well define fascism here. Fascism a populist political philosophy,
movement or regime that exalts nation and often race above
(12:26):
the individual, associated with centralized autocratic government headed by a
dictatorial leader, and that's characterized by severe economic and social
regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. So this is
all stuff, especially if you look at the States. Donald
Trump's doing all that. He's like, it's all about nationalism America,
(12:48):
We've got to got to make America great again, and
also putting race at the forefront of things in the state.
But let's stick with Canada for the time being. We
mentioned that a lot of many, many menmen, and many
people have been misinformed or disinformed, which I think is
(13:11):
more the active part by disinformation campaigns spread by actors
funded by Russia or Russia itself, and now we find
out more about Indian interference as well. Trudeau was put
on the dam this week and he was only able
(13:34):
to reveal that he was told that there's members within
the Canadian Conservative Party who are perhaps being aided or
perhaps being used by by the Indian government to advance
their causes. And the problem is he is because it's
top secret information and he needs the security clearance to
(13:57):
find out this information. It's a leg for him to
share it. So of course Pierre Polly ever is like, well,
why don't he tell us? Who if you if someone's guilty,
tell us, And it's just like, no, you can't. It's
that's that's illegal. And uh, here's where it gets say interesting.
Polly Evra is refusing to get security clearance. And for
(14:18):
the longest time that was that was suspect, but now
it makes even more sense. There's only two reasons why
he won't get security clearance. A he won't pass it
because he's he's involved with the machinations of of of
trying to help India and and make Canada fascist. And
(14:42):
I guess the other reason is is so he can
claim ignorance and and keep keep hammering away at Trudeau
and the fact that that his only response to the
testimony was, oh, Trudeau's lying, he's lying. I'm sorry, but
this was under oath, very serious event under oath. And
(15:02):
if that's the best you've got wanting, why don't you
get that security clearance here? He's really caught in a
in a in a tough spot because his hypocrisy and
his lies are catching up to him. And Uh, my
prediction is Polly ever won't be around. Uh, he won't
be the leader of the Conservative Party when there's an
election next that's my prediction. Uh, he's in, which is
(15:25):
good for the country because he's he has no real platform,
no plan. He is. His main slogan is I'm going
to ask that tax. I'm going to act the tax.
Oh well, any question you asked him about policy or whatever, Wow,
I'm going to ask the tax. That's this whole thing.
And what he's talking about is the carbon tax, which
(15:48):
is being used as a cudgel by the right wing
to launch attack at Justin Trudeau and his government. The
thing is, it's not just Canada that has a carbon tax.
It's part of an international agreement with a bunch of
(16:10):
different countries that are on the same page in in
the in this carbon tax, so he would be breaking
with other different countries. It basically, it's not it's not
just a oh it's a Canadian thing. He's just laughing
it on. It's part of a big international thing to
try and well reduced carbon that's I mean, that's that's
(16:32):
the goal. And uh we've seen in the last you know,
well the last two years, but it just keeps amping
up and up the major major effects of climate change.
Climate change is real, folks, I'm here to tell you. Sorry,
sorry to break your brain, but it's happening, and it's happening,
and it's getting worse and worse, and I fear we're
over the tipping point where there's not really a lot
(16:56):
we can do to to reverse it. The only thing
I've thing we can do is try and slow it down.
But with so much pushback from the right wing, you know,
Flora's going to be underwater in fifty years. But they
like to use Pierre poly ever, he's a one issue.
Got acts the tax. We're going to ask the tax,
(17:18):
trying to get people behind that. There was an article
that came out this week where the farmers in Saskatchewan,
the Farmers Union said, Nah, you know what, the carbon
tax really isn't a big deal. We don't. It's that's
not affecting food prices, and that's what people like to
(17:39):
blame the carbon tax on. Oh my god, the groceries
are going so high, the inflation goes high. A lot
of the reason you're seeing prices in the grocery stores
go up to crazy rates is because of not the government,
not the carbon tax, corporate greed galen Western types who
(18:06):
run loblaws jacking up the prices of food take They
actually took advantage of the pandemic to kind of sneak
in price hikes haven't gone back down. They've raised prices
higher than the rate of inflation and they've sort of
been able to sneak it in. There. A lot of
(18:28):
people say, oh, yeah, trudeaud of the inflation and cant
is out of control, what's Trudeau's to blame? But would
you also blame Trudeau for the inflation that's happening in
the US and the UK and every other country. Inflation
is happening worldwide, and Canada is one of the top
two or three countries with the lowest amount of inflation
(18:51):
post pandemic. So there's a lot of disinformation going on.
And if you don't believe me, or you want to
debate this, you can call the show here at six
four seven six yo Josh trying to be a bit
of an eye opener here. One of the other things
that I thought was really quite interesting and quite telling
(19:14):
and frankly quite funny was while under Oath, Justin Trudeau
revealed that Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson are being funded
by Russia under oath, So he's not a lie and
(19:37):
part of international intelligence. Yeah, And of course Jordan Peterson
was like, I'm gonna sue him. That's a lie. He's
lying about me. No, Jordan Peterson is a grifter and
always has been a grifter. I think the best description
of Jordan Peterson I've ever heard was the title of
(19:58):
a magazine article in McLean's Magazine, is Jordan Peterson the
dumb person's idea of a smart person? The answer is yes.
There's a lot of like dumb dumbs who put Jordan
Peterson up on this intellectual tattle, like, oh my god,
he's he's the smartest guy. But I think in a
(20:22):
lot of cases, these people suffer from the Dunning Crew griffect.
They think, well, he's he was a university professor, and
he wears fancy suits, and he's he presents himself as
this intellectual. Nah, he's he's a he's a phony and
a fraud. He's a grifter. Uh. If you see any
argument with him and someone of reasonable intelligence, he always
(20:45):
gets beat and then he starts crying. Just a just
a fraud of a guy and a phony intellectual and
average intelligence. Yeah, he's a professor, but so what there's
not every professor is smart.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah. So he is funded by Russia, which is not
no surprise. And I think if you look back a
little bit, he had some kind of rehab thing and
he didn't go to anywhere in North America. He went
to Russia for rehab. So he's in bed with the Russians.
And I imagine we will see more and more evidence
(21:21):
of organizations on the right affiliated with Russians or being
funded by Russians to spread disinformation around the world. It's scary.
So that's what's happening in Canada. And just to summarize,
Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world.
(21:42):
We're doing very very well. Government is widely respected on
the world stage. Other countries respect us, citizens of other
countries respect us. We're seen as a globe a leader,
(22:02):
and factually, by the data, you're doing very very well.
Any chart that you look at that quantifies how a
country is doing, whether it's it's Freedom Index uh GDP,
(22:26):
Inflation Happiness Index uh any, basically any any list you see,
Canada is is at ord near the top of the lists.
And the freedom one is especially interesting because there's a
lot of people who think, oh, yeah, Trudeau took away
our freedom, the big whiners. Shut up, Trudeau didn't take
(22:50):
away your freedom. You've got you have more freedom than
than pretty much any country in the world. Don't worry
about it. Yeah, so yeah, that's what's uh that's what's
happening in Canada. Oh yeah, Jordan, Yeah, Jordan P. Peterson
is a Russian, a Russian asset, a useful idiot, as
(23:10):
they like to say, that's what's happening in Canada. I
do want to talk a little bit about provincially stuff
that's happening. Well, we'll maybe talk about that a little
bit next.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You all know that thing you used to send text.
It works for actual mouth talking. Just more, just just more, Josh,
get in on the conversation. Punch six four seven six year,
Oh Josh to be heard, rocks, Josh Holliday live.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yes, the theme from Jaws. If you couldn't name that tune,
I play that because I often compare doug Ford to
a shark. He's got those dead shark eyes and that
that basically remind me of the speech in Jaws, the
(24:14):
movie where it was like a shark's eyes, dark eyed,
doll's eyes, nothing behind those eyes, and essentially he is
shark like. He doesn't seem to have any empathy, any personality,
seems like just a shell and a shill for his
corporate buddies. That is doug Ford. And this is I mean,
(24:37):
it's it's frustrating because I remember back at the last
provincial election, I did I think the whole show talking
about all of the the ills of doug Ford to
that date and saying that if you're gonna vote in
(24:59):
a politics, there's a very very very very easy litmus test.
Look at this politician and ask yourself, is this someone
who is getting into governments because they want to make
life better for the people. They're selfless and they're interested
(25:22):
in making life better for the people who they will
be representing essentially. Or are they in it for another reason?
Are they in it for themselves? Are they in it
for other interests? And I think even back then, certainly
(25:44):
now you can look at doug Ford and you can say,
is this guy trying to make up things better for
the people of the problems, for all, for all the people,
trying to make life better? And in this case, the
resounding answer is no, No, he is not. Part of
the problem is a combination of a vote splitting and
(26:08):
voter apathy. In the last election, doug Ford was only
voted in by eighteen percent of the population. Now that's
not percent of the vote. Present of the vote was higher,
(26:29):
But a lot of that has to do with us
having three parties. And the same is true on the
federal level. A lot of times the majority of the
people are ruled by someone selected by a minority of
(26:51):
the people. And that's true of Ontario because there's a
few progressive parts ease your Liberals, your NDP, your Greens,
and only one real major party on the right, which
is your your PC's They're on the on the on
(27:14):
the national level, yeah, there's the People's Party, but still
kind of a fringe racist party. So uh but yeah,
it's it's a big, big problem in Canada, and and
and just I'm gonna sneak back to federal for a second. Uh.
One thing I am disappointed with Justin Trudeau for is
(27:37):
not moving forward with electoral electoral reform. We need a
system of ranked ballots so that people make their first choice,
their second choice, their third choice, and that helps eliminate
the idea of of vote splitting between the two parties
(28:00):
on the left. And it's it makes sure that there's
a more representational government. You would make your choices. Say,
if you were someone on the left, you might say,
well my favorite is NDP and Liberal and Green and
so each of those would be given points and so on.
So I don't have to explain ranked balloting, but that's
(28:22):
that's essentially what it is. It's it's a way of
getting rid of that. And I'm really really surprised, especially now.
I think now it would be a great time to
introduce it because there is that big threat of fascism
as put forth by the the PC Party. Anyway, back
(28:43):
to Ontario and doug Ford for the last election. I
think I did like whole hours on the ills of
doug Ford. Again, voter apathy meant that not a ton
of people came out, not a lot of people were interested.
And now we have this guy who's bulldozing Ontario when
(29:08):
only eighteen percent of the population actually voted for him
in the last election. We can go over all kinds
of stuff that he's done, Like it's just like, I
don't know where you start. I would say he is
like Stephen Harper is the worst prime Minister we've ever had.
(29:28):
Doug Ford is by far the worst premieer we've ever had.
Harris has moved into second place, but doug Ford is
his corruptions just right out in the open, so corrupt,
and he's just yeah, again I mentioned he's just like
a shell of a guy, Like he doesn't even when
(29:49):
he's giving speeches, he's basically like trying to mimic what
he thinks a political speech should sound like folks, da
da da da da da Uh. Like he there's the
it's a vacuum of charisma. But we shouldn't be surprised.
(30:11):
It's a known fact. It's been printed it's it's been
in newspapers that in high school Doug Ford was a
hash dealer, a drug dealer. He was a high school
that was that was sort of his his high school.
His high school job was drug dealer, hash dealer. And
(30:32):
there's a lot of shady people in that world, organized
crime and uh, I, I you know, this is just
a sense and this is my opinion, but I I
don't think. I don't think he's he cut off contact
with a lot of those people in this shady mobster underworld.
(30:52):
I don't think he did. So he's basically gone against
the will of the people in a law lot of
cases there. The green Belt is a great example. Stunk
to high heaven. He decided that, oh, he's going to
open up some of the green Like Ontario loves its
(31:13):
green belt. It's like, we're very proud of it. It's
a lot of green air and and we haven't let
urban sprawl get there. We haven't. So Doug Ford, uh says,
you have you know, we're opening up the green belt,
We're opening it up to development. And then we find
(31:34):
out that a couple of months before he makes this announcement,
a lot of his developer buddies have bought up big
parcels of land in the areas where he's decided that
all of a sudden there can be development. So where
(31:54):
this land was previously you know, not worth a lot
because he can't build on its green space, all of
a sudden that changes in the land becomes bill you know,
millions and millions and millions of dollars more. He got caught,
(32:15):
people saw the corruption in this, they called him out
and he backtracked on it, which is good. But the
RCMP opened an investigation into this green belt issue, and
I will say this, I'm frustrated with the pace at
(32:38):
which this RCMP investigation is going. We did get a
get a bit of an update in one of the
papers in the last couple of weeks where they said, yeah,
they're still investigating, they're interviewing people, and they mentioned overseas
bank accounts, which that's that to me, says, Okay, there's
definitely some some shady sh going on here, something that
(33:03):
needs to be looked at. But I'm hoping that this
RCMP investigation opens wider into some of the other stuff
that Doug Ford's got going on the highway, the four
and three highways, he's trying to build, the Ontario Science
(33:23):
Center being scrapped, Ontario Place being bulldozed. Take a look
at some of those things. So first of all, let's
talk about the highway he wants to build. I think
of highway four one, three, four seven. He's basically has
an idea. Well, he's pro car. He wants to get
(33:44):
the cars, you know, more cars going and people experts
have said, well, no, there's not really a need for
this highway. It's not going to really really help people.
But if you look at a map, it's been put
out that along the route that he wants to run
this highway, there's a lot of developers that are friends
(34:07):
of Doug that have bought land along the route. So
it seems to be a pattern here where where uh
these people, these developers, some might say mob some buy
this land and then Doug Ford make sure that the
land gets more valuable. And the RCMP is investigating the
(34:31):
green belt. The opp isn't going to do anything because
they're in the pocket of of Ford. He put even
put one of his his developer buddies in charge of
of of the police, and he's constantly giving them money
and and it's basically his own private police force. So
(34:55):
let's uh, let's talk about So we talked about the highway,
so basically it's basically a high way made to profit
for his developers. It's it's useless. And another thing he's
done is using the power of the government to skirt
environmental assessments. Let's talk about Ontario Place. Rather rather than
(35:18):
going through the normal process of getting an environmental assessment
of the land at Ontario Place, which is right beside
the lake and is right right right at the bottom
of the city, an area that that is an ecosystem
in itself, doug Ford made it so that he didn't
(35:42):
have to get any kind of environmental assessment before working
on that land, building on that land, destroying that land.
And he decided that he's gonna he's gonna put a
SPA there, a giant megas spa Thermay and like the
(36:03):
green Belt, this week, more and more stink is coming
out about that particular deal. We're giving a lot more money,
you me taxpayers, people who pay into the system, are
giving a lot more money to the SPA. Then we'll
inevitably get out of it. The projections of how many
(36:27):
people will go there are wildly overstated. About half of
about half of the people that are projected have come
to the spa in Europe the same Thermay spa, and
they're assuming that daily more people will go to this
(36:49):
spa than would go to Canada's Wonderland in a day.
So you can see that the is wildly overestimating. My
sense is he wants to build a spa in a
parking lot, and then when the spa goes south there
doesn't work, he'll put a casino in there somewhere, whether
it's on the exhibition grounds in Hell all all kinds
(37:11):
of parking for it, or or where the spa is.
That's that's sort of his I think his end goal
is to get his his casino buddies some some business.
So there's that. And then he's also said, oh, we're
gonna move the science Center down to somewhere more central.
(37:32):
We're gonna move it next to Thermay, you know, and
I think that that was a way of kind of whitewashing. Well,
we're also going to put something for the public there.
And his excuse for moving the science center was, well,
it's old, and you know, it's it needs an updating.
And then the panels. A couple of panels on the
(37:56):
Science Center were faulty and not that hard to replace.
A lot of architects stepped up and said, no, it's
not you know even we'll we'll fund it, we'll we'll
pay for it. But doug Ford used that as an
excuse to shutter the Science Center, take it away from
Ontarians and their kids, and now he's spreading out different
(38:20):
exhibits around like various vacant spaces around the city. It
was it's an institution. I remember going there as a kid,
I've gone there as an adult. It's great for field trips,
and it's architecturally really really kind of cool. It's built
on a hill into a ravine and it's in a
great spot. Ironically, doug Ford's subway extension has a stop
(38:46):
right there, so it would have been even easier to
get to. The stop was even called Science Center stop,
like like subway stop. But if you move the Science Center,
it's gonna be to call gonna have to be called
something else. And uh, as with the highway that he
(39:08):
plans to build. If you look at the map around
the Science Center, they're just the other side, just north
of Eglinton there's a huge parcel of land that was
purchased by one of Doug Ford's developer buddies. Huge parcel
of land at a subway stop, and it's not so
(39:30):
hard to see that Doug Ford probably wants to tear
down the Science Center and make a deal give make
that land available for developers. Prime land at a subway stop,
next to one of his developer buddies. Uh, next to
where his developer buddies already have a huge tract of land.
(39:55):
It's just so wild and open, and I do I
hope the RCMP kind of branches out from the from
the the green Belt investigation. It looks at this whole
big thing racketeering rico. We don't have that. I don't
think we have those laws here, racketeering laws. But there's
(40:16):
it's definitely like a like a mobby thing in my opinion.
And now Doug Ford is is I don't know why,
but he wants to kind of you know, every everyone's
hinting at it, and it seems to be happening. But
Doug Ford wants to have an election and he wants
(40:37):
to buy your votes. Wants to buy your votes. It
was announced this week that Ah you know, we're going
to give a rebate to Ontarians. Everyone's going to get
two hundred bucks from your good old buddy Doug. And
that's just not money that comes from anywhere. That's your money.
(40:57):
He's giving your money back to you. It's basically in
any other and if you want to actually call it
what it is, it's a bribe. He's bribing you with
your own money. And for someone who claimed to be
stopping the gravy train, Doug Ford is running the deficit
(41:20):
up by huge, by huge numbers to get out of
the liquor store deal early, to get beer in the
corner stores six months before the official plan to rush that.
People are saying it costs close to a billion dollars.
(41:43):
He's paying you money to vote for him. He's just
increased the salaries of people in his party, and he's
spending your money on tons and tons of te television ads,
radio ads. That's your money advertising him. Essentially. They'll say, well,
(42:06):
it's just sort of showing what's happening Ontario that we're
doing pretty well. No, that's Doug Ford spending your money
to try and get himself re elected. And I'm scared
because we still there's still been no solution. There's still
(42:27):
been no solution to the vote splitting that happens. I
think Merritt Styles is a pretty solid candidate on the
NDB side. I'm so so on Bonnie Caromby, but does
it doesn't even matter. The fact that there's two strong
ish candidates on the progressive side means that the vote's
(42:49):
going to be split, and all the all of the
vote on the right is is going to go to
drug Ford. I think the rules and NDP parties in
Ontario need to need to see this, need to know this,
put egos aside and come together as one party. That's
the only way you could fight against this guy who's
(43:12):
basically selling off Ontario for parts. And I've only I've
only talked about probably half of the nefarious things that
that Dougie has done, Like it's a it would take
a whole two hour show to tell you all of
the eels of of of doug Ford. But it's just again,
(43:33):
it's it's frustrating as hell to see this corrupt guy
out in the open doing all these these terrible things
and there's nothing we can we can really do about it.
Even voting probably won't won't solve the problem. And and yeah,
it's just the only solution seems to be if he's
criminally indicted. But the RCMP seems to be working at
(43:53):
such a slow pace that much of the damage will
be done before they get around to doing anything, if
they if they even do, uh to Doug for the
Ontario places basically been steamrolled. Well, we didn't even talk
abouts are we should talk about the deal with Thermae. Uh,
we did a little bit, but essentially, uh, it's it's
(44:15):
a terrible, terrible deal and uh, there's a lot of
sketchiness behind it. There's people higher up in the Thermae corporate
world who uh you know, did some like paid for
I think they may have even bought Doug's deco label
company in the US. And there's there's a lot of
intermingling of people in the Ford circle and the the SPA.
(44:38):
It's it's certainly not to benefit people of Ontario but
friends of Doug Ford. Yeah. So that's so we've covered, Uh,
we've covered Canada nationally, we covered provincially. Uh, and I
think it it would only be right if we talk
a little bit about the craziness that's happening in the States, uh,
just over two weeks from uh from the election. And
(45:02):
one thing I'll say is if you if you're voting
for Donald Trump, you are a racist. Period. I'll explain why.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Something bugging you need event is Josh, this is your
unfiltered megaphone.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
When you hear him, you're like, what dial.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Six four seven six, yo, Josh now to be heard
talk dead rocks rocks, Josh live.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Do you want to be an American idiot? American idiots
the term you might use for a Trump voter, or
or you know what. I to be fair, there's a
lot of people who have been hugely miss and disinformed
in the States who might vote for Trump. But my
main again, it's all of a litmus to Trump is
(46:02):
an avowed racist. He covorts with white nationalists. He's a terrible,
terrible person. And if you vote for Donald Trump, you
are a racist because people who aren't racists don't vote
for racists. Period. One thing that I'm surprised hasn't had
(46:28):
more attention paid to it is back before the last
the election that got Donald Trump elected, there's a woman
who is heart of Jeffrey Epstein's well, his sex trafficking operation.
(46:50):
She came forward and filed in the lawsuit, and then
it disappeared. Then she filed it again, then it disappeared,
and her lawyer said the last time it was sort
of withdrawn. That there's a lot of threats made towards her,
which makes sense because Trump this is not that unwell
(47:12):
known that when he was a developer in the eighties
in New York, he was very much involved with the
mob there, and there's a belief that he continues to
have fairly strong mob ties. So there's definitely a reason
that someone might fear coming forward if they're receiving threats
(47:34):
of this nature. But this is a woman who claims
that when she was a thirteen year old, she was
recruited to Jeffrey Epstein parties and Donald Trump was there
and they were involved. There is an actual transcript, an
(47:57):
actual deposition that was that's online on YouTube that she
made for one of these these lawsuits. It's still there.
I find I find her testimony fairly credible. I'm only
gonna play a part of it like it. I'll play
you a little bit just to give you a sense
(48:17):
of of of what she what she says, So and
when she when she talks in this clip about Tiffany,
it's not Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany. It's Tiffany who was
a recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
I came to this interview on my free will. No,
there was nothing promised to me for doing this interview. Yes,
everything that I say at this interview will be the truth.
I met Donald Trump at some parties I attend that
I was working for mister Jeffrey Epstein. There was about
(48:53):
three or four times that I had encounters with Donald Trump.
I was thirteen. The first time that I met Donald Trump.
UH was at uh the a a party at Jeffrey
Epstein's mansion. Uh. We were he was there was a
an orgy going on, and he was kind of watching
(49:18):
off in the distance and and he basically asked if
I could come over and give him give him. And
at first I wasn't very comfortable with it. This was
like my first or set, you know, first party, and
(49:40):
I I didn't, you know, I I didn't think that
that was my responsibility.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
But my recruiter told me that I needed to do it.
So I agreed to and then he you know, I
I said, I s began to sorry, this is a
little difficult, but I before I gave him a job,
he kind of slapped my hand away and said, you
(50:06):
need to use a glove. And the recruiter he ran
over and handed me a glove and said, no one
touches mister Trump's penis without a glove. So I needed
to use a glove. I gave him, and then immediately after,
you know, he had an orgasm. He left and I
didn't see him again at that party. Jeffrey Epstein is
(50:30):
a billionaire friend of Donald Trump's that was responsible for
throwing the sex parties. And as far as Donald Trump,
he knew that I was thirteen, and I believe that
Tiffany told him. He seemed to take a liking to
me because I was. I was so young, and I
(50:53):
was also a virgin, So I don't know he's it
seemed like he wasn't really into having having girls that
that were liked by the other guys. He kind of,
you know, the whole glove. He kind of liked things
to be his first, you know, at that for lack
of you know, a better term, but he was the
(51:15):
one who wanted to get to get to a girl
before everyone else did. Donald Trump knew that I was
thirteen because, uh, the first the first time that I
was there. Uh, Tiffany actually suggested that, and she had
a whole bunch of different wigs than I expressed interest
in them.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
I always told her that I would love to walk
around with blue hair, and so I tried someone and
there was a blonde wig that n sh that that
she said that looked great on me. So I wore
that wig. And Donald Trump had specifically asked about me
because I remind him of his daughter, and she said, well,
she's thirteen as well, So he knew the first time
(51:55):
that he saw me, but he took a liking to
me because I looked like his daughter. The reason I'm
coming out now is when it happened. Originally, I just
wanted to forget about the whole incident. Uh. And when
I saw that he was running for president, I felt
it was my responsibility to come out and tell our
(52:18):
country what kind of man this person is. I don't
think that he should even be the dog catcher, let
alone running uh, the greatest country in the world. Second
time that I saw mister Trump was same scenario. He
was onlooking so at an orgy and uh, Tiffany came
(52:42):
over to me and so that Donald Trump had requested
that I perform oral sex on him and and never
I'd never done something like that with anybody, so I
was a little nervous. So I walked up to him, uh,
and he was standing and sitting there very proud like,
and I just kind of moved in that direction and
(53:05):
he's kind of slapped me away and said what are
you doing? You know, and you need to put a
condom on, like I was some like dirty filter or
something without a condom.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
Tiffany ran over and handed him a con me in
a condom and apologized, you know, profusely and said that
would never happen again. That that. And she looked at
me and scolded me basically like a child, and said that,
you know that's not how I You know, Donald Trump
always you know, anytime you t it touches penis that
needs to have a condom on or a glove. You know,
you owe and expect it when it comes to performing
(53:36):
oral sex. So I apologized, and then I performed oral
sex on him. Uh, and once again, once he was done,
he hopped up and that's the last I saw of
him at that party. It's like, once he's done, he's out.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
So okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
That is uh uh testimony from a Donald Trump victim
who went by the alias Katie Johnson. If you want
to find more, you can google Katie Johnson. But essentially
she came forward before the election where Donald Trump was
elected with accusations that when she was a thirteen year old,
Donald Trump essentially raped her. So and so that's not
(54:21):
the single story about Donald being a sexual predator, but
that's a pretty good indication. I certainly find the trans
that the deposition believable. And that's just the early part.
We just just talked about oral and digital, but it
gets even worse, and so I'm really really surprised that
anyone would vote for a piece of garbage like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Yeah. So that's the show, Josh Holiday Live. We will
be back next week. Bert will be back and hopefully
talk about more cheery things. But it's just it was

Speaker 2 (00:27):
No Good Morning this Saturday morning. It is October the nineteenth.
We are live. I think you heard me clear my
throat before the intro. I am Joshy of the show
(00:48):
title Bert, who normally co hosts the show from the
Garden State, New Jersey. He has family affairs to tend
two this weekend, so you're just getting me, only me,
and hopefully that's not a disappointment to you. A ton
of stuff to cover. I hope you will, hope you
will stay tuned in, and I do welcome your calls.
(01:13):
Since I'm running solo here, it'd be nice to invite
some other voices on the show. You can call four
to one six four seven six yo. Josh six four
seven six yo. Josh is the telephone number here you
can reach out and maybe we'll get you on the air.
Here a ton of stuff to talk about. I mean,
(01:34):
it's just what is the world coming to? It's it's
craziness in the stays, all kinds of nuttiness, and now
this week nuttiness in Canada. I thought we would not
parallel the insanity that's happening there. I don't think we're
quite at that level yet, but it's getting there, I
quickly want to say, because we've I've talked about this
(01:55):
with Bert over the last couple of weeks. I was
a late comer to the television series The Boys. I
finally finished it the fourth season. I love it. Very gory,
very filthy, very funny, and very astute satire of current times.
(02:17):
It's it's a really fun show. Add to that the
fact that it is shot in and around Toronto. It
makes for great viewing if you live in in this
area because you can kind of spot different different locations,
like the main location, the main headquarters of the superheroes
in this particular show is is Roy Thompson Hall. In
(02:41):
the area around roy Thompson Hall is used quite a
bit for for press conferences and those types of things,
So I all I can say is. I recommend that
show and you should check it out The Boys on
Amazon Prime, and I if you if you're unfamiliar with
the show, I'm not. I'm not really into like superhero stuff.
(03:02):
I don't follow the Marvel stuff. It's just not for me.
So I was reluctant to watch this show initially because
you know, superhero is not my thing, not my thing.
And then two things changed my mind. One was, my friend,
UH had a role in this this most recent season,
(03:24):
so I, oh, you know, maybe we should start watching it.
And lots of people I know. Uh, now that I've watched,
I realized, oh, there's a lot a bunch of people
I know who are who are in it. And Uh.
The other thing was there was all kinds of fuss
at the beginning of this most recent season about a
human centipede, a scene which I thought, oh my god,
(03:47):
that's on TV. Uh, and it's it's it's cleverly done,
it's it's I recommenct. So the Boys on on Amazon Prime.
That's all I'm gonna say. I recommend it. Uh, this
hour lots to talk about.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It might make you angry, it might make you think,
and that's that's what we're here for. Uh So, I
first want to say, like, there seems to be this
this notion that Canada is broken, Canada, Canada is not
doing well, Trudeau's ruining Canada, Canada bro with no freedom.
(04:26):
And I think part of the reason there's a there's
a contingent of people that believe that is because there's
a ton of disinformation being spread online and the more
we learn about it, the more it makes sense. In
the in the US, recently it was revealed that the
Russians were funding a huge disinformation campaign aimed at getting
(04:50):
Donald Trump elected, and there was some spill over into Canada.
Some of these these Russian back sites where we're posting
anti Trudeau stuff. One of them had at least twelve
different anti anti Trudeau videos. And now this week we
learn that not just the Russians here in Canada, of
(05:14):
course they're doing stuff, but also the Indians, the government
of India is involved in trying to get Polyevra elected
and try and get Trudeau out. So, first of all,
I want to say, Canada is not broken. I've said
(05:37):
this on the show before many times. Canada is very
doing very, very very well. If you look at any
standard by which a country is measured Freedom Index, Happiness
of the People GDP, et cetera, et cetera. Anytime you
look at any of those actual factual charts, you will
(06:00):
see that Canada is at or near the top of
them all. There was even a recent one that came
out that was from Kearney's FDI Confidence Index. So this
is more of a business and investor investor predict prospect
and they said Canada is the country with the most
(06:24):
optimistic economic outlooks. So things are looking bright here. And
despite the fact that there's a contingent of people who
believe the country is broken, this is this is wrong basically,
And though you may loathe the justin Trudeau and and
that's what a lot of the misinformation has has ginned up.
They've been telling you, oh, Trudeau has been true? Is
(06:46):
this Trudeau is that? I think a lot of people
if you ask, if you ask some of these people
who are like, wow, Trudeau's got to go, if you
ask them why, I don't think they could articulate why.
I don't think they really really know what they're talking about.
Usually they're they're led by disinformation, misinformation and low information
voters so let's just first of all, let's say, let's
(07:09):
go over some of the accomplishments of the Trudeau government.
They introduced farmer care, they introduced inexpensive childcare, they just
recently introduced dental care, school lunches, historic poverty reduction, effective
(07:30):
environmental action, avoided the post pandemic recession. They've had the
highest wage growth in decades, the lowest unemployment since the
nineteen seventies, lowered the small business tax rate, lowered middle
class taxes, kept Canadians afloat and vaccinated during the pandemic,
consistently in the highest quality of and best of lists,
(07:54):
low inflation comparatively in the G seven, lowest debt to
GDP in the G seven, green tech, battery and auto
high paying jobs are booming, a ninety percent reduction in
boil water advisories, an increase of funding to the military, vets,
indigenous and health transfers, and the biggest housing initiative ever.
(08:17):
So those are concrete, actual accomplishments of this government. And
if you look back at the previous government, the Harper government,
I think you'd be loath to even name one accomplishment
of that government that had a positive effect on everyday Canadians.
I don't think you can name one. If you can
call me and let me know one positive thing that
(08:42):
helped everyday Canadians that was put forth by the Harper
government six four seven six yo, Josh again, crazy or
crazy times. We found out from the RCMP, who were
informed by the Five Eyes, which is basically a bunch
(09:05):
of of of the biggest countries have a network of intelligence.
They all talk to each other, the intelligence agencies, and
they are saying he was given the heads up. I
believe it was by by the FB behind the States.
They were given the heads up that something's going on here,
(09:25):
some of the politicians are compromised and there's disinformation being spread.
And of course we've we've found out about an actual
murder that happened as a result of of of some
of his interference. And I will say this, we mentioned
(09:47):
Harper and Harper I think he's got a bit of
his hand in the cookie jar here, a little bit.
He is not a nice man. He's always been a
bit of a slimeball. And he is the chair of
an organization called the International the International Democratic Union, and
(10:15):
this is an organism organization that sounds on the title
of it sounds good. Oh, he's trying to spread democracy
around the world, but uh, that's a bit of a
bit of a lie because it's actually not spreading democracy.
It's its purpose is to try and spread fascism to
(10:35):
various countries around the world. The I DU is involved
behind the scenes trying to trying to prop up leaders
that would would do fascist things, dictators essentially. Uh, one
of the members of this i DU that that Harper
is a chair of was caught up in all the
(10:58):
all the January six and all the scheming to steal
the election in the States, and he was a big
part of the I DU. And so that was a
good that was a good sign that, Okay, one of
those people is involved and I do you also is
a big supporter of Victor Orbon and basically they're their
(11:20):
their main goals to try and get dictators installed in
various governments around the world, to do the bidding of
the wealthy. And Harper, I imagine we'll find out, had his
hands all over this, Like he's he's a bit of
a puppet master with trying to get Polyev elected. He
(11:41):
has his hands all over that. But he's also pretty
close with Modi in India and again his his organizzation
he's working for and his main goal is to get
fascists elected. And sometimes I always find it funny there's
some people who say, oh, true, was a fascist this,
this person's a fascist. The lefts of fascists. These people
(12:04):
don't know what fascism is. It's it's not I'll here's
a well define fascism here. Fascism a populist political philosophy,
movement or regime that exalts nation and often race above
(12:26):
the individual, associated with centralized autocratic government headed by a
dictatorial leader, and that's characterized by severe economic and social
regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. So this is
all stuff, especially if you look at the States. Donald
Trump's doing all that. He's like, it's all about nationalism America,
(12:48):
We've got to got to make America great again, and
also putting race at the forefront of things in the state.
But let's stick with Canada for the time being. We
mentioned that a lot of many, many menmen, and many
people have been misinformed or disinformed, which I think is
(13:11):
more the active part by disinformation campaigns spread by actors
funded by Russia or Russia itself, and now we find
out more about Indian interference as well. Trudeau was put
on the dam this week and he was only able
(13:34):
to reveal that he was told that there's members within
the Canadian Conservative Party who are perhaps being aided or
perhaps being used by by the Indian government to advance
their causes. And the problem is he is because it's
top secret information and he needs the security clearance to
(13:57):
find out this information. It's a leg for him to
share it. So of course Pierre Polly ever is like, well,
why don't he tell us? Who if you if someone's guilty,
tell us, And it's just like, no, you can't. It's
that's that's illegal. And uh, here's where it gets say interesting.
Polly Evra is refusing to get security clearance. And for
(14:18):
the longest time that was that was suspect, but now
it makes even more sense. There's only two reasons why
he won't get security clearance. A he won't pass it
because he's he's involved with the machinations of of of
trying to help India and and make Canada fascist. And
(14:42):
I guess the other reason is is so he can
claim ignorance and and keep keep hammering away at Trudeau
and the fact that that his only response to the
testimony was, oh, Trudeau's lying, he's lying. I'm sorry, but
this was under oath, very serious event under oath. And
(15:02):
if that's the best you've got wanting, why don't you
get that security clearance here? He's really caught in a
in a in a tough spot because his hypocrisy and
his lies are catching up to him. And Uh, my
prediction is Polly ever won't be around. Uh, he won't
be the leader of the Conservative Party when there's an
election next that's my prediction. Uh, he's in, which is
(15:25):
good for the country because he's he has no real platform,
no plan. He is. His main slogan is I'm going
to ask that tax. I'm going to act the tax.
Oh well, any question you asked him about policy or whatever, Wow,
I'm going to ask the tax. That's this whole thing.
And what he's talking about is the carbon tax, which
(15:48):
is being used as a cudgel by the right wing
to launch attack at Justin Trudeau and his government. The
thing is, it's not just Canada that has a carbon tax.
It's part of an international agreement with a bunch of
(16:10):
different countries that are on the same page in in
the in this carbon tax, so he would be breaking
with other different countries. It basically, it's not it's not
just a oh it's a Canadian thing. He's just laughing
it on. It's part of a big international thing to
try and well reduced carbon that's I mean, that's that's
(16:32):
the goal. And uh we've seen in the last you know,
well the last two years, but it just keeps amping
up and up the major major effects of climate change.
Climate change is real, folks, I'm here to tell you. Sorry,
sorry to break your brain, but it's happening, and it's happening,
and it's getting worse and worse, and I fear we're
over the tipping point where there's not really a lot
(16:56):
we can do to to reverse it. The only thing
I've thing we can do is try and slow it down.
But with so much pushback from the right wing, you know,
Flora's going to be underwater in fifty years. But they
like to use Pierre poly ever, he's a one issue.
Got acts the tax. We're going to ask the tax,
(17:18):
trying to get people behind that. There was an article
that came out this week where the farmers in Saskatchewan,
the Farmers Union said, Nah, you know what, the carbon
tax really isn't a big deal. We don't. It's that's
not affecting food prices, and that's what people like to
(17:39):
blame the carbon tax on. Oh my god, the groceries
are going so high, the inflation goes high. A lot
of the reason you're seeing prices in the grocery stores
go up to crazy rates is because of not the government,
not the carbon tax, corporate greed galen Western types who
(18:06):
run loblaws jacking up the prices of food take They
actually took advantage of the pandemic to kind of sneak
in price hikes haven't gone back down. They've raised prices
higher than the rate of inflation and they've sort of
been able to sneak it in. There. A lot of
(18:28):
people say, oh, yeah, trudeaud of the inflation and cant
is out of control, what's Trudeau's to blame? But would
you also blame Trudeau for the inflation that's happening in
the US and the UK and every other country. Inflation
is happening worldwide, and Canada is one of the top
two or three countries with the lowest amount of inflation
(18:51):
post pandemic. So there's a lot of disinformation going on.
And if you don't believe me, or you want to
debate this, you can call the show here at six
four seven six yo Josh trying to be a bit
of an eye opener here. One of the other things
that I thought was really quite interesting and quite telling
(19:14):
and frankly quite funny was while under Oath, Justin Trudeau
revealed that Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson are being funded
by Russia under oath, So he's not a lie and
(19:37):
part of international intelligence. Yeah, And of course Jordan Peterson
was like, I'm gonna sue him. That's a lie. He's
lying about me. No, Jordan Peterson is a grifter and
always has been a grifter. I think the best description
of Jordan Peterson I've ever heard was the title of
(19:58):
a magazine article in McLean's Magazine, is Jordan Peterson the
dumb person's idea of a smart person? The answer is yes.
There's a lot of like dumb dumbs who put Jordan
Peterson up on this intellectual tattle, like, oh my god,
he's he's the smartest guy. But I think in a
(20:22):
lot of cases, these people suffer from the Dunning Crew griffect.
They think, well, he's he was a university professor, and
he wears fancy suits, and he's he presents himself as
this intellectual. Nah, he's he's a he's a phony and
a fraud. He's a grifter. Uh. If you see any
argument with him and someone of reasonable intelligence, he always
(20:45):
gets beat and then he starts crying. Just a just
a fraud of a guy and a phony intellectual and
average intelligence. Yeah, he's a professor, but so what there's
not every professor is smart.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah. So he is funded by Russia, which is not
no surprise. And I think if you look back a
little bit, he had some kind of rehab thing and
he didn't go to anywhere in North America. He went
to Russia for rehab. So he's in bed with the Russians.
And I imagine we will see more and more evidence
(21:21):
of organizations on the right affiliated with Russians or being
funded by Russians to spread disinformation around the world. It's scary.
So that's what's happening in Canada. And just to summarize,
Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world.
(21:42):
We're doing very very well. Government is widely respected on
the world stage. Other countries respect us, citizens of other
countries respect us. We're seen as a globe a leader,
(22:02):
and factually, by the data, you're doing very very well.
Any chart that you look at that quantifies how a
country is doing, whether it's it's Freedom Index uh GDP,
(22:26):
Inflation Happiness Index uh any, basically any any list you see,
Canada is is at ord near the top of the lists.
And the freedom one is especially interesting because there's a
lot of people who think, oh, yeah, Trudeau took away
our freedom, the big whiners. Shut up, Trudeau didn't take
(22:50):
away your freedom. You've got you have more freedom than
than pretty much any country in the world. Don't worry
about it. Yeah, so yeah, that's what's uh that's what's
happening in Canada. Oh yeah, Jordan, Yeah, Jordan P. Peterson
is a Russian, a Russian asset, a useful idiot, as
(23:10):
they like to say, that's what's happening in Canada. I
do want to talk a little bit about provincially stuff
that's happening. Well, we'll maybe talk about that a little
bit next.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You all know that thing you used to send text.
It works for actual mouth talking. Just more, just just more, Josh,
get in on the conversation. Punch six four seven six year,
Oh Josh to be heard, rocks, Josh Holliday live.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yes, the theme from Jaws. If you couldn't name that tune,
I play that because I often compare doug Ford to
a shark. He's got those dead shark eyes and that
that basically remind me of the speech in Jaws, the
(24:14):
movie where it was like a shark's eyes, dark eyed,
doll's eyes, nothing behind those eyes, and essentially he is
shark like. He doesn't seem to have any empathy, any personality,
seems like just a shell and a shill for his
corporate buddies. That is doug Ford. And this is I mean,
(24:37):
it's it's frustrating because I remember back at the last
provincial election, I did I think the whole show talking
about all of the the ills of doug Ford to
that date and saying that if you're gonna vote in
(24:59):
a politics, there's a very very very very easy litmus test.
Look at this politician and ask yourself, is this someone
who is getting into governments because they want to make
life better for the people. They're selfless and they're interested
(25:22):
in making life better for the people who they will
be representing essentially. Or are they in it for another reason?
Are they in it for themselves? Are they in it
for other interests? And I think even back then, certainly
(25:44):
now you can look at doug Ford and you can say,
is this guy trying to make up things better for
the people of the problems, for all, for all the people,
trying to make life better? And in this case, the
resounding answer is no, No, he is not. Part of
the problem is a combination of a vote splitting and
(26:08):
voter apathy. In the last election, doug Ford was only
voted in by eighteen percent of the population. Now that's
not percent of the vote. Present of the vote was higher,
(26:29):
But a lot of that has to do with us
having three parties. And the same is true on the
federal level. A lot of times the majority of the
people are ruled by someone selected by a minority of
(26:51):
the people. And that's true of Ontario because there's a
few progressive parts ease your Liberals, your NDP, your Greens,
and only one real major party on the right, which
is your your PC's They're on the on the on
(27:14):
the national level, yeah, there's the People's Party, but still
kind of a fringe racist party. So uh but yeah,
it's it's a big, big problem in Canada, and and
and just I'm gonna sneak back to federal for a second. Uh.
One thing I am disappointed with Justin Trudeau for is
(27:37):
not moving forward with electoral electoral reform. We need a
system of ranked ballots so that people make their first choice,
their second choice, their third choice, and that helps eliminate
the idea of of vote splitting between the two parties
(28:00):
on the left. And it's it makes sure that there's
a more representational government. You would make your choices. Say,
if you were someone on the left, you might say,
well my favorite is NDP and Liberal and Green and
so each of those would be given points and so on.
So I don't have to explain ranked balloting, but that's
(28:22):
that's essentially what it is. It's it's a way of
getting rid of that. And I'm really really surprised, especially now.
I think now it would be a great time to
introduce it because there is that big threat of fascism
as put forth by the the PC Party. Anyway, back
(28:43):
to Ontario and doug Ford for the last election. I
think I did like whole hours on the ills of
doug Ford. Again, voter apathy meant that not a ton
of people came out, not a lot of people were interested.
And now we have this guy who's bulldozing Ontario when
(29:08):
only eighteen percent of the population actually voted for him
in the last election. We can go over all kinds
of stuff that he's done, Like it's just like, I
don't know where you start. I would say he is
like Stephen Harper is the worst prime Minister we've ever had.
(29:28):
Doug Ford is by far the worst premieer we've ever had.
Harris has moved into second place, but doug Ford is
his corruptions just right out in the open, so corrupt,
and he's just yeah, again I mentioned he's just like
a shell of a guy, Like he doesn't even when
(29:49):
he's giving speeches, he's basically like trying to mimic what
he thinks a political speech should sound like folks, da
da da da da da Uh. Like he there's the
it's a vacuum of charisma. But we shouldn't be surprised.
(30:11):
It's a known fact. It's been printed it's it's been
in newspapers that in high school Doug Ford was a
hash dealer, a drug dealer. He was a high school
that was that was sort of his his high school.
His high school job was drug dealer, hash dealer. And
(30:32):
there's a lot of shady people in that world, organized
crime and uh, I, I you know, this is just
a sense and this is my opinion, but I I
don't think. I don't think he's he cut off contact
with a lot of those people in this shady mobster underworld.
(30:52):
I don't think he did. So he's basically gone against
the will of the people in a law lot of
cases there. The green Belt is a great example. Stunk
to high heaven. He decided that, oh, he's going to
open up some of the green Like Ontario loves its
(31:13):
green belt. It's like, we're very proud of it. It's
a lot of green air and and we haven't let
urban sprawl get there. We haven't. So Doug Ford, uh says,
you have you know, we're opening up the green belt,
We're opening it up to development. And then we find
(31:34):
out that a couple of months before he makes this announcement,
a lot of his developer buddies have bought up big
parcels of land in the areas where he's decided that
all of a sudden there can be development. So where
(31:54):
this land was previously you know, not worth a lot
because he can't build on its green space, all of
a sudden that changes in the land becomes bill you know,
millions and millions and millions of dollars more. He got caught,
(32:15):
people saw the corruption in this, they called him out
and he backtracked on it, which is good. But the
RCMP opened an investigation into this green belt issue, and
I will say this, I'm frustrated with the pace at
(32:38):
which this RCMP investigation is going. We did get a
get a bit of an update in one of the
papers in the last couple of weeks where they said, yeah,
they're still investigating, they're interviewing people, and they mentioned overseas
bank accounts, which that's that to me, says, Okay, there's
definitely some some shady sh going on here, something that
(33:03):
needs to be looked at. But I'm hoping that this
RCMP investigation opens wider into some of the other stuff
that Doug Ford's got going on the highway, the four
and three highways, he's trying to build, the Ontario Science
(33:23):
Center being scrapped, Ontario Place being bulldozed. Take a look
at some of those things. So first of all, let's
talk about the highway he wants to build. I think
of highway four one, three, four seven. He's basically has
an idea. Well, he's pro car. He wants to get
(33:44):
the cars, you know, more cars going and people experts
have said, well, no, there's not really a need for
this highway. It's not going to really really help people.
But if you look at a map, it's been put
out that along the route that he wants to run
this highway, there's a lot of developers that are friends
(34:07):
of Doug that have bought land along the route. So
it seems to be a pattern here where where uh
these people, these developers, some might say mob some buy
this land and then Doug Ford make sure that the
land gets more valuable. And the RCMP is investigating the
(34:31):
green belt. The opp isn't going to do anything because
they're in the pocket of of Ford. He put even
put one of his his developer buddies in charge of
of of the police, and he's constantly giving them money
and and it's basically his own private police force. So
(34:55):
let's uh, let's talk about So we talked about the highway,
so basically it's basically a high way made to profit
for his developers. It's it's useless. And another thing he's
done is using the power of the government to skirt
environmental assessments. Let's talk about Ontario Place. Rather rather than
(35:18):
going through the normal process of getting an environmental assessment
of the land at Ontario Place, which is right beside
the lake and is right right right at the bottom
of the city, an area that that is an ecosystem
in itself, doug Ford made it so that he didn't
(35:42):
have to get any kind of environmental assessment before working
on that land, building on that land, destroying that land.
And he decided that he's gonna he's gonna put a
SPA there, a giant megas spa Thermay and like the
(36:03):
green Belt, this week, more and more stink is coming
out about that particular deal. We're giving a lot more money,
you me taxpayers, people who pay into the system, are
giving a lot more money to the SPA. Then we'll
inevitably get out of it. The projections of how many
(36:27):
people will go there are wildly overstated. About half of
about half of the people that are projected have come
to the spa in Europe the same Thermay spa, and
they're assuming that daily more people will go to this
(36:49):
spa than would go to Canada's Wonderland in a day.
So you can see that the is wildly overestimating. My
sense is he wants to build a spa in a
parking lot, and then when the spa goes south there
doesn't work, he'll put a casino in there somewhere, whether
it's on the exhibition grounds in Hell all all kinds
(37:11):
of parking for it, or or where the spa is.
That's that's sort of his I think his end goal
is to get his his casino buddies some some business.
So there's that. And then he's also said, oh, we're
gonna move the science Center down to somewhere more central.
(37:32):
We're gonna move it next to Thermay, you know, and
I think that that was a way of kind of whitewashing. Well,
we're also going to put something for the public there.
And his excuse for moving the science center was, well,
it's old, and you know, it's it needs an updating.
And then the panels. A couple of panels on the
(37:56):
Science Center were faulty and not that hard to replace.
A lot of architects stepped up and said, no, it's
not you know even we'll we'll fund it, we'll we'll
pay for it. But doug Ford used that as an
excuse to shutter the Science Center, take it away from
Ontarians and their kids, and now he's spreading out different
(38:20):
exhibits around like various vacant spaces around the city. It
was it's an institution. I remember going there as a kid,
I've gone there as an adult. It's great for field trips,
and it's architecturally really really kind of cool. It's built
on a hill into a ravine and it's in a
great spot. Ironically, doug Ford's subway extension has a stop
(38:46):
right there, so it would have been even easier to
get to. The stop was even called Science Center stop,
like like subway stop. But if you move the Science Center,
it's gonna be to call gonna have to be called
something else. And uh, as with the highway that he
(39:08):
plans to build. If you look at the map around
the Science Center, they're just the other side, just north
of Eglinton there's a huge parcel of land that was
purchased by one of Doug Ford's developer buddies. Huge parcel
of land at a subway stop, and it's not so
(39:30):
hard to see that Doug Ford probably wants to tear
down the Science Center and make a deal give make
that land available for developers. Prime land at a subway stop,
next to one of his developer buddies. Uh, next to
where his developer buddies already have a huge tract of land.
(39:55):
It's just so wild and open, and I do I
hope the RCMP kind of branches out from the from
the the green Belt investigation. It looks at this whole
big thing racketeering rico. We don't have that. I don't
think we have those laws here, racketeering laws. But there's
(40:16):
it's definitely like a like a mobby thing in my opinion.
And now Doug Ford is is I don't know why,
but he wants to kind of you know, every everyone's
hinting at it, and it seems to be happening. But
Doug Ford wants to have an election and he wants
(40:37):
to buy your votes. Wants to buy your votes. It
was announced this week that Ah you know, we're going
to give a rebate to Ontarians. Everyone's going to get
two hundred bucks from your good old buddy Doug. And
that's just not money that comes from anywhere. That's your money.
(40:57):
He's giving your money back to you. It's basically in
any other and if you want to actually call it
what it is, it's a bribe. He's bribing you with
your own money. And for someone who claimed to be
stopping the gravy train, Doug Ford is running the deficit
(41:20):
up by huge, by huge numbers to get out of
the liquor store deal early, to get beer in the
corner stores six months before the official plan to rush that.
People are saying it costs close to a billion dollars.
(41:43):
He's paying you money to vote for him. He's just
increased the salaries of people in his party, and he's
spending your money on tons and tons of te television ads,
radio ads. That's your money advertising him. Essentially. They'll say, well,
(42:06):
it's just sort of showing what's happening Ontario that we're
doing pretty well. No, that's Doug Ford spending your money
to try and get himself re elected. And I'm scared
because we still there's still been no solution. There's still
(42:27):
been no solution to the vote splitting that happens. I
think Merritt Styles is a pretty solid candidate on the
NDB side. I'm so so on Bonnie Caromby, but does
it doesn't even matter. The fact that there's two strong
ish candidates on the progressive side means that the vote's
(42:49):
going to be split, and all the all of the
vote on the right is is going to go to
drug Ford. I think the rules and NDP parties in
Ontario need to need to see this, need to know this,
put egos aside and come together as one party. That's
the only way you could fight against this guy who's
(43:12):
basically selling off Ontario for parts. And I've only I've
only talked about probably half of the nefarious things that
that Dougie has done, Like it's a it would take
a whole two hour show to tell you all of
the eels of of of doug Ford. But it's just again,
(43:33):
it's it's frustrating as hell to see this corrupt guy
out in the open doing all these these terrible things
and there's nothing we can we can really do about it.
Even voting probably won't won't solve the problem. And and yeah,
it's just the only solution seems to be if he's
criminally indicted. But the RCMP seems to be working at
(43:53):
such a slow pace that much of the damage will
be done before they get around to doing anything, if
they if they even do, uh to Doug for the
Ontario places basically been steamrolled. Well, we didn't even talk
abouts are we should talk about the deal with Thermae. Uh,
we did a little bit, but essentially, uh, it's it's
(44:15):
a terrible, terrible deal and uh, there's a lot of
sketchiness behind it. There's people higher up in the Thermae corporate
world who uh you know, did some like paid for
I think they may have even bought Doug's deco label
company in the US. And there's there's a lot of
intermingling of people in the Ford circle and the the SPA.
(44:38):
It's it's certainly not to benefit people of Ontario but
friends of Doug Ford. Yeah. So that's so we've covered, Uh,
we've covered Canada nationally, we covered provincially. Uh, and I
think it it would only be right if we talk
a little bit about the craziness that's happening in the States, uh,
just over two weeks from uh from the election. And
(45:02):
one thing I'll say is if you if you're voting
for Donald Trump, you are a racist. Period. I'll explain why.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Something bugging you need event is Josh, this is your
unfiltered megaphone.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
When you hear him, you're like, what dial.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Six four seven six, yo, Josh now to be heard
talk dead rocks rocks, Josh live.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Do you want to be an American idiot? American idiots
the term you might use for a Trump voter, or
or you know what. I to be fair, there's a
lot of people who have been hugely miss and disinformed
in the States who might vote for Trump. But my
main again, it's all of a litmus to Trump is
(46:02):
an avowed racist. He covorts with white nationalists. He's a terrible,
terrible person. And if you vote for Donald Trump, you
are a racist because people who aren't racists don't vote
for racists. Period. One thing that I'm surprised hasn't had
(46:28):
more attention paid to it is back before the last
the election that got Donald Trump elected, there's a woman
who is heart of Jeffrey Epstein's well, his sex trafficking operation.
(46:50):
She came forward and filed in the lawsuit, and then
it disappeared. Then she filed it again, then it disappeared,
and her lawyer said the last time it was sort
of withdrawn. That there's a lot of threats made towards her,
which makes sense because Trump this is not that unwell
(47:12):
known that when he was a developer in the eighties
in New York, he was very much involved with the
mob there, and there's a belief that he continues to
have fairly strong mob ties. So there's definitely a reason
that someone might fear coming forward if they're receiving threats
(47:34):
of this nature. But this is a woman who claims
that when she was a thirteen year old, she was
recruited to Jeffrey Epstein parties and Donald Trump was there
and they were involved. There is an actual transcript, an
(47:57):
actual deposition that was that's online on YouTube that she
made for one of these these lawsuits. It's still there.
I find I find her testimony fairly credible. I'm only
gonna play a part of it like it. I'll play
you a little bit just to give you a sense
(48:17):
of of of what she what she says, So and
when she when she talks in this clip about Tiffany,
it's not Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany. It's Tiffany who was
a recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3 (48:30):
I came to this interview on my free will. No,
there was nothing promised to me for doing this interview. Yes,
everything that I say at this interview will be the truth.
I met Donald Trump at some parties I attend that
I was working for mister Jeffrey Epstein. There was about
(48:53):
three or four times that I had encounters with Donald Trump.
I was thirteen. The first time that I met Donald Trump.
UH was at uh the a a party at Jeffrey
Epstein's mansion. Uh. We were he was there was a
an orgy going on, and he was kind of watching
(49:18):
off in the distance and and he basically asked if
I could come over and give him give him. And
at first I wasn't very comfortable with it. This was
like my first or set, you know, first party, and
(49:40):
I I didn't, you know, I I didn't think that
that was my responsibility.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
But my recruiter told me that I needed to do it.
So I agreed to and then he you know, I
I said, I s began to sorry, this is a
little difficult, but I before I gave him a job,
he kind of slapped my hand away and said, you
(50:06):
need to use a glove. And the recruiter he ran
over and handed me a glove and said, no one
touches mister Trump's penis without a glove. So I needed
to use a glove. I gave him, and then immediately after,
you know, he had an orgasm. He left and I
didn't see him again at that party. Jeffrey Epstein is
(50:30):
a billionaire friend of Donald Trump's that was responsible for
throwing the sex parties. And as far as Donald Trump,
he knew that I was thirteen, and I believe that
Tiffany told him. He seemed to take a liking to
me because I was. I was so young, and I
(50:53):
was also a virgin, So I don't know he's it
seemed like he wasn't really into having having girls that
that were liked by the other guys. He kind of,
you know, the whole glove. He kind of liked things
to be his first, you know, at that for lack
of you know, a better term, but he was the
(51:15):
one who wanted to get to get to a girl
before everyone else did. Donald Trump knew that I was
thirteen because, uh, the first the first time that I
was there. Uh, Tiffany actually suggested that, and she had
a whole bunch of different wigs than I expressed interest
in them.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (51:33):
I always told her that I would love to walk
around with blue hair, and so I tried someone and
there was a blonde wig that n sh that that
she said that looked great on me. So I wore
that wig. And Donald Trump had specifically asked about me
because I remind him of his daughter, and she said, well,
she's thirteen as well, So he knew the first time
(51:55):
that he saw me, but he took a liking to
me because I looked like his daughter. The reason I'm
coming out now is when it happened. Originally, I just
wanted to forget about the whole incident. Uh. And when
I saw that he was running for president, I felt
it was my responsibility to come out and tell our
(52:18):
country what kind of man this person is. I don't
think that he should even be the dog catcher, let
alone running uh, the greatest country in the world. Second
time that I saw mister Trump was same scenario. He
was onlooking so at an orgy and uh, Tiffany came
(52:42):
over to me and so that Donald Trump had requested
that I perform oral sex on him and and never
I'd never done something like that with anybody, so I
was a little nervous. So I walked up to him, uh,
and he was standing and sitting there very proud like,
and I just kind of moved in that direction and
(53:05):
he's kind of slapped me away and said what are
you doing? You know, and you need to put a
condom on, like I was some like dirty filter or
something without a condom.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
Tiffany ran over and handed him a con me in
a condom and apologized, you know, profusely and said that
would never happen again. That that. And she looked at
me and scolded me basically like a child, and said that,
you know that's not how I You know, Donald Trump
always you know, anytime you t it touches penis that
needs to have a condom on or a glove. You know,
you owe and expect it when it comes to performing
(53:36):
oral sex. So I apologized, and then I performed oral
sex on him. Uh, and once again, once he was done,
he hopped up and that's the last I saw of
him at that party. It's like, once he's done, he's out.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
So okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
That is uh uh testimony from a Donald Trump victim
who went by the alias Katie Johnson. If you want
to find more, you can google Katie Johnson. But essentially
she came forward before the election where Donald Trump was
elected with accusations that when she was a thirteen year old,
Donald Trump essentially raped her. So and so that's not
(54:21):
the single story about Donald being a sexual predator, but
that's a pretty good indication. I certainly find the trans
that the deposition believable. And that's just the early part.
We just just talked about oral and digital, but it
gets even worse, and so I'm really really surprised that
anyone would vote for a piece of garbage like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Yeah. So that's the show, Josh Holiday Live. We will
be back next week. Bert will be back and hopefully
talk about more cheery things. But it's just it was
just time to address the craziness that's happening here in
the US and basically the north part of North America
is it's just crazy things happening. But you have yourself
