00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:19.559
Thank you for listening to Pictures Media
Radio. Welcome to Policy and Rights,

2
00:00:21.160 --> 00:01:06.040
the show about the government policy and
human rights. And they should really understand

3
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.480
that we also have weapons and they
know it. I just said it now

4
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.519
myself, weapons that can hit targets
on their territory. Everything that the West

5
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.879
is coming up just now, what
they threaten the world with, it can

6
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.719
result in a conflict with the use
of nuclear weapons and therefore the destruction of

7
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:40.400
civilization. What you just heard was
Vladimir Putin threatening nuclear war against Western Asians

8
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:49.000
if they send ground troops to help
Ukraine in their effort to win the war

9
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.920
against Russia. As remember two years
ago that what's probably more than two years

10
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:05.799
ago now that when we're Putin sent
troops in an invasion attempt to take over

11
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.360
Ukraine as what he called a security
measure for certain territories that wanted to remain

12
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:24.400
loyal to Russia. And now we're
up to threats to nuclear war. Well,

13
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:34.319
maybe some of those starts aren't totally
unprovoked. There has been a proposal

14
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:40.039
by France to send ground troops to
Ukraine in order to help their efforts,

15
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:50.840
and there have been a few new
Natal countries that are closer to being neighboring

16
00:02:50.919 --> 00:03:02.639
to Russia at this point, but
the threat still remains that rather than trying

17
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:10.560
to make a peace with Western countries
so that we all can live in harmony

18
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:19.520
together, that he'd rather threaten than
work with Western countries so that some sort

19
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:34.439
of agreement can work out with trade
with Ukraine and that those territories can or

20
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.960
the people in those territories they want
to remain loyal to Russia can be free

21
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:49.400
to leave and go to Russia as
they wish. So it kind of kind

22
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.919
of frames out the lack of willingness
to work together as human beings in our

23
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:02.159
world today. So onto other recordings
that we're going to have today, we're

24
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:11.639
going to have a response from Joe
Biden to a problem that they're having with

25
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.600
the Mexican border. He's going to
be making a speech from Texas, which

26
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:26.399
is the state that holds the largest
Mexican border to it and has some of

27
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:33.519
the most problems with Mexican nationals trying
to cross illegally into the United States.

28
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:48.000
He will be talking about a bipartisan
solution to upgrading the legal system that would

29
00:04:48.040 --> 00:05:00.680
handle the cases for these illegal immigrants
and help process them back quickly so that

30
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:06.439
they can be returned to Mexico or
other points as quickly as possible. Instead

31
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:13.680
of taking years, then it would
take maybe months. And some of the

32
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:20.920
opposition that he's getting against it are
people talking about that it only feeds the

33
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:30.120
Democratic side and does not actually do
anything for the Republican side. But as

34
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:38.319
a reminder, it is a by
partisan agreement. An agreement comes that comes

35
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:50.800
from both parties, not just a
single sided democratic proposal or solution. With

36
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:57.519
that, we're going to come to
Canada and Pierre Pouvier is claiming to have

37
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:06.199
documents, the secret documents that are
harmful to the Liberals and Justin Trudeau that

38
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:13.079
they were hiding things, and these
documents prove how much they were hiding.

39
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:26.199
And again what we're looking at is
that a mud slinging operation from one side

40
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:32.519
to the other, the Conservative parties
slinging mud at the Liberals, trying to

41
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.959
make them look bad. At this
point, I don't think that the Conservative

42
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:45.480
Party needs to do a whole lot
to make the Liberal Party look worse than

43
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.439
what they are, especially when we
look at some of what the public polls

44
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:56.759
actually say in the public opinion of
the Liberal government is at this point,

45
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:08.079
and justin Trudeau, but again to
come to some solutions that are actually going

46
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:16.040
to help people and help find more
housing for those who are refugees coming into

47
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:25.040
the country and needing help, and
for those who are losing their homes because

48
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:32.759
they just can't get enough paycheck to
be able to make ends meet, to

49
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:40.040
a lot of different things that maybe
instead of fighting against each other, that

50
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:48.240
they need to come up with more
coalition ideas that will help people instead of

51
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:59.279
trying to push one way or the
other way with mud slinging and name calling

52
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:11.120
in and nasty statements towards each other
on the parliament floor. So why don't

53
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.439
we get started. We're going to
start off with Joe Biden as he talks

54
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.759
about this bipartisan agreement, this bipartisan
solution to the Mexican border problem that the

55
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:33.679
United States has, and then we'll
hear from members of government in Canada and

56
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:43.360
mister Polvier talking about secret documents that
are damning to the Liberal government. Again,

57
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.399
thank you, as my mother would
say, please excuse my back and

58
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:54.519
apologize. Well, folks, good
afternoon. Before we started, like to

59
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:00.399
say a few words about the devastating
wildfires that are scorching in Texas pan Handle

60
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:07.919
and northwest Oklahoma. You know,
yesterday one of the biggest fire events in

61
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.639
Texas history, with more than one
million more than one million acres of Texas

62
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.679
land burned from the start, I
directed my team to do everything possible to

63
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.279
help protect the people in the communities
threatened by these fires, in response to

64
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.159
specific requests made from the state.
We already had more than five hundred federal

65
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.840
personnel here working on fire suppression.
That includes the deployment of one hundred federal

66
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.480
firefighters and more on the way,
as well as dozens of dive of additional

67
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.360
fire engines, air tankers, small
planes, helicopters to help fight the flames.

68
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.480
And FEMA has already guaranteed that Texas
and Oklahoma will be reimbursed for the

69
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.600
cost of keeping folks safe. And
we're grateful for the brave first responders risking

70
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.679
their lives to save others, and
we urge, we urge folks to listen

71
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.080
to the warnings. Some of the
local officials listen to them. I've flown

72
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.919
over a lot of these wildfire since
I've been president. Matter of fact,

73
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.679
I've been a helicopter in the West
and the southwest and northwest, flown over

74
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.159
more Land burned to the ground,
all the vegetation gone than the entire state

75
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.799
of Maryland square footage. The idea
there's no such thing as climate change.

76
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.480
I love that, man. I
love some of my neanderthal friends who still

77
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.960
think there's no climate change. Well, my administration's going to keep building on

78
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.320
the progress we've made fighting climate crisis, and we're going to keep help folks

79
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.120
rebuild themselves in the wake of these
disasters, and we rebuild to the standards

80
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.919
that are up up to date,
standards and building codes and the rest.

81
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.080
Because a lot of if you fly
over these areas that are burned to the

82
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.960
ground, you'll see in the midst
of twenty homes that are just totally destroyed,

83
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.200
one home sitting there because they had
the right roof on it. And

84
00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.159
anyway, since I took office,
FEMIS provided Texas alone over thirteen billion dollars

85
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.639
thirteen billion dollars in three years of
disastery leave after fires and winter storms across

86
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.480
the state. And when disasters strike, there's no red state or blue state

87
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.679
where I come from. They're just
communities and families looking for help. So

88
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:20.440
we're standing with everyone. Everyone affected
by these wildfires. I'm going to continue

89
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.600
to help you respond and recover.
Now turning the purpose of my visit,

90
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.399
I want to thank Congress from Gonzales
there, you are a pal. I

91
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:35.320
thank you. I thank you for
the passport into his district. But he's

92
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.000
been a great Partner's also want to
thank merk Cowan for his partnership. And

93
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.679
I want to thank County Judge Trevino
for over thirty and over the thirty local

94
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.919
officials who've joined us here today.
No one, no one works harder for

95
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.799
a safe, secure border than all
of you. And Secretary of Marcus has

96
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.360
joined us today, and he's joined
by seven mayors in towns across Texas,

97
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.200
four county judges here from across the
state. I told the county judge that

98
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.600
I used to be a county official. It's the hardest job in American politics.

99
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.080
You know why they think you can
do everything. You don't have the

100
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.080
budget. So anyway, and the
two leaders from the Texas let's say,

101
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.960
as your state House leader Trace here
the Trade Martinez deficient and the state Senate

102
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.080
leader Carol Alvadero, and look and
all the other local officials that are here

103
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.519
today. I want to say,
thanks, folks. It's real simple.

104
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.960
It's time to act. It's long
pastime to act. I just received a

105
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.600
briefing from the border patrol at the
border, as well as immigration and enforcement

106
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:48.240
asylum officers, and they're all doing
incredible work under really tough conditions, really

107
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.159
tough because they told me what they
what you already know and we already know.

108
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.120
They desperately need more resources. Say
it again, they desperately need more

109
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.200
resources, need more agents, more
officers, judges, more equipment in order

110
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.679
to secure our border. Folks.
It's time for us to move on this.

111
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.919
We can't wait any longer, folks. On my first day as president,

112
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.559
I introduced a bill I sent to
Congress a comprehensive plan to fix the

113
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.399
broken immigration system and to secure the
border, but no action was taken.

114
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.240
Then months ago, my team began
a serious negotiation and a bipartisan group of

115
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:31.440
senators Democrat leading conservative Republicans and progressive
Democrats, and a result of a compromised

116
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.720
bill, it's the toughest set of
border security reforms we've ever seen in this

117
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.840
country. It's pretty basic. With
this deal, we could hire one thousand,

118
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.120
five hundred additional border security adds one
five hundred edition off and officers and

119
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.000
between ports of entry. For the
last four years, staffing has been roughly

120
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.600
that flat. It's flat ages working
overtime, spending long hours patrolling the border,

121
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.080
making major sacrifices, and I know
it takes a big toll on them

122
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.320
and their families. That's why in
December, I signed a bill finally getting

123
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.840
border patrol agents what I've been pushed
by and reminded by the congressman overtime pay

124
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.919
they deserve. Finally getting overtime pay. I mean, it's ridiculous. It

125
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.600
took this long, it was long
past time, and I was proud to

126
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.360
do it. But we need to
do more. It's time to step up.

127
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:30.720
It's time to step up, provide
them with significantly more personnel and capability.

128
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.600
We also need more immigration judges help
handle the backlaw. There are two

129
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.919
million cases backlog of two million cases. As bipartis JAI would provide funding for

130
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:48.080
one hundred more immigration judges immediately.
Would also establish new efficient and fair process

131
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.360
for the government to consider asylum claims
for those arriving on the border. Today,

132
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.000
the process to get a decision on
an asylum claim takes five to seven

133
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.519
years now. You all know it
down here, but the people the country

134
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.759
don't understand it. It's far too
long. You command, you say,

135
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.039
you say, I have a credible
fear, and we've changed that standard to

136
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.519
make it hard. We want to
change make it harder. And what happens

137
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759
you say, well, okay,
you can win the country, but come

138
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.240
back in five to seven years,
maybe as many as eight years, and

139
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.799
you get a hearing from before a
judge and determine whether you can stay.

140
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.320
This will encourage more people. This
encourages more people to come to the country.

141
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.279
If they get by the first say
they got another five, seven,

142
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.799
eight years before they have to do
anything, because they know they cannot handle

143
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.440
the caseloads quickly, and they'll be
able to stay in this country in the

144
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.679
meantime. With new policies in this
bill, in the addition of four three

145
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.120
hundred additional asylumn officers, we'll be
able to reduce that process to less than

146
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.120
six months. That would have a
serious to turn it effect on those coming

147
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.879
north. When the criminal gang say
we'll get you north. What's eight thousand

148
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.960
bucks? They said, now,
wait, let me get this tree.

149
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.080
I'm gonna go north. This is
gonna cost me six eight probably coach at

150
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:10.120
eight I thousand dollars equivalent, And
I'm gonna get there and in six months

151
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.559
they may be able to get rid
of me. I don't know, man,

152
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.919
six months, seven years two different
things. A person is thinking about

153
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.440
enter the United States understands the cases
to be sided in a few weeks or

154
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.320
months instead of five to seven years. They're less likely to come in the

155
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.960
first place. They're not going to
pay the car tells thousands of dollars to

156
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.600
make that journey, knowing that it
would be turned around quickly. Look,

157
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.399
then we also need more cutting it
inspection machines to detect and stop fentanyl.

158
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.320
Formenter in the United States of America. A year ago, I stood at

159
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.720
the border in Olpasso, and I
watched these machines at work. They were

160
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.480
able to detect everything from ventanyl to
weapons to people being smuggled in cargo containers.

161
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.000
This this compromise bill would provide an
additional four three, four hundred and

162
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:02.399
twenty four million dollars for one hundred
more of these machines and could save lives

163
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.759
in the process. This compromise notization
will also give me, as president or

164
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.680
any of the next president emergency authority
to temporarily shut down the border between ports

165
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.440
of entry when the numbers of immigrants
and migrants, excuse me, overwhelm the

166
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:22.519
border starting straining the border patrols ability
to process them. At the same time,

167
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.240
at our legal ports of entry,
like Aaron Brownsville, we're making investments

168
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:33.960
in infrastructure. My bipartisan infrastructure law
is going to provide nearly four billion new

169
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:38.319
dollars, the boost security, the
ease waiting times at land and ports of

170
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.839
entry like Brownsville. And I want
to thank again Concum Gonzalz help me get

171
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.440
that through and get the pass the
law that you get the money for the

172
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.880
for exact. That's how you got
the money for the Gateway bridge from that

173
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.599
fund, Folks. The bipartisan Border
security deal is a win for the American

174
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.720
people, and it's a win for
the people of Texas, and it's fair

175
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.759
for them will legitimately have a right
to come here to begin with. It's

176
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.799
a win for the people of Brownsville. And I believe that's why the Border

177
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.440
Patrol Union endorsed it. I believe
that's why the National Chamber of Commerce,

178
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.279
the National Chamber of Commerce endorsed it
not known as the Democratic organization with a

179
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:21.000
capital B. But look, and
that's why the Wall Street Journal endorsed it

180
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.480
as well. This is a truly
bipartisan initiative. That's why the bipartisan South

181
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.960
Texas Alliance of Cities endorsed it.
Folks, I didn't get I didn't get

182
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.559
everything I wanted that compromised bipartisan bill, but neither did anybody else. The

183
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:40.319
compromises part of the process. That's
how democracy works, That's how it's supposed

184
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.000
to work. Compromise is a very
positive step under critical issue for the country,

185
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.839
all those issues of the country,
and folks here in Brownsville and all

186
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.759
along the border know that we need
to have their backs, year backs.

187
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.640
I want the people to understand clearly
what happened here. This bill was the

188
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.319
United States Senate was on its way
to being passed, then it was derailed

189
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.799
by rank and file politicans ranked partisan
politics. The US Senate needs to reconsider

190
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:14.079
this bill and those senators who oppose
it need to set politics aside and pass

191
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.519
it on the merits, not on
whether it's going to benefit one party or

192
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:22.240
benefit the other party. It's about
whether it benefits the American people's what the

193
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.079
American people to deserve. The Speaker
of the House needs to put this bill

194
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.960
on the floor, because if he
put it on the floor unrestricted, it

195
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:36.279
would pass. The majority of Democrats
and Republicans both houses support this legislation until

196
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.200
someone came along and said, don't
do that. It will benefit the incumbent.

197
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.079
That's a hell of way to do
business in America. For such a

198
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.480
serious problem, we need to act. It's time for the speakers and some

199
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.400
of my Republican friends in Congress who
are blocking this bill to show a little

200
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:59.160
spine pass a bipartisan bipartisan as another
member by part conservative leaders supported this border

201
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.640
security bill. Let's remember who we
work for. For God's sake, we

202
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.559
work for the American people. Let
me am with this. I understand my

203
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:12.039
predecessor's legal paths today. So here's
what I would say to mister Trump.

204
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.799
Instead of playing politics issue, instead
of telling members of Congress to block this

205
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.440
legislation, join me or I'll join
you in telling the Congress to pass this

206
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.920
bipartisan border security bill. We can
do it together. You know, and

207
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.799
I know it's the toughest, most
efficient, most effective border security bill as

208
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.480
country has ever seen. So instead
of playing politics with the issue, Why

209
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.160
don't we just get together and get
it done. Let's remember who the heck

210
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.920
we work for. We worked for
the American people, not the Democratic Party,

211
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.160
the Republican Party. We worked for
the American people. And let's remember

212
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.319
who we are with the United States
of America. No, I mean,

213
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:56.920
just think about this. There's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. Nothing when

214
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.400
we work together. And if all
things that we should be working together on

215
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.359
this, we have the formul to
get it done. God bless you all

216
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.359
me. God protect our border patrol, and God protect our troops. Now

217
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:18.799
a NDPP is stepping down to help
US constituents in a different way and what

218
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:25.319
he thinks could be a better way. So let's listen to that. Like

219
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.720
you, I believe you have some
news for us. What's happening with your

220
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.319
career right now? Please? Do
you? Indeed, today I announced that

221
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.960
I'll be vacating my seat as a
Member of Parliament for Elma Transcona effective March

222
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.359
thirty first, to go work with
the new government of wab Canoe in Manitoba

223
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:45.200
as a senior advisor on inner governmental
affairs. You've been here a good while.

224
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.839
You've fallen the footsteps of your late
father. Why the transition time now

225
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.200
other than obviously the new government now, Well, I'm really proud of all

226
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.400
the work that we've done as a
caucus here in Ottawa under jag Meat Singh,

227
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.440
and I'm really excited by the work
that the government wog Canoe is going

228
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.799
to be doing in Manitoba. For
me personally, this is an opportunity to

229
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.680
continue on in the same vein of
work working for people trying to have better

230
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.960
public policy, but to get to
do it from a position where I'm closer

231
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.160
to home and I get to see
a lot more of my young children and

232
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.160
my wife and support her in her
career as well. The adp cocus is

233
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.039
to split both sides of the aisle. You sit on the fire side from

234
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.799
mister Singh is do you have any
confidence still in mister Singh's leadership. We

235
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:32.559
absolutely have confidence in jig Meat Singh's
leadership. As I say, we're doing

236
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.720
a lot of great work here in
Ottawa. The new pharmacare deal that the

237
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.000
details of which are going to be
announced shortly is very exciting and I think

238
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.880
is going to make a big difference
in the lives of a lot of people,

239
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.920
along with the new dental care plan, along with the anti scab legislation

240
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.440
that just went to committee yesterday.
So there's a lot of great work here

241
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:56.079
that's been happening under the leadership of
jig Meat Singh. And I've been very

242
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.559
honored to be a part of that
work. But looking forward to get to

243
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.680
do simil are kinds of work well, being closer to home with my family.

244
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.279
You used some I believe parliamentary language. The speaker called it today,

245
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.599
was this, I think you were
describing the lead with the opposition, if

246
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.079
I got that right, or I'm
still I was expressing concern for certain members

247
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.240
of his caucus that I felt might
end up getting dragged out behind him by

248
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.720
their tongues. And I believe you
apologized for that of zech r I did.

249
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:32.759
Indeed, was that a parting shot
orvative? It was that was impulsive,

250
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.559
and I think you know, with
hindsight, perhaps not the best day

251
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.200
to do something like that. Of
course, the House of Commons is a

252
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.519
place that can get quite contentious at
times, and the Conservatives certainly delivered their

253
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.960
fair share of various kinds of phrases
on the floor of the House that I

254
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.400
think would be deemed on parliamentary I
think it's worth noting that it wasn't something

255
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.400
I had intended to put on the
record. It was a Conservative MP who

256
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.000
invited me to do so. Just
too things. To wrap it up,

257
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.039
What is your message to your constituents? You know, I just thinking of

258
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.119
your constituency when you walk the streets. What is your key message to them

259
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:17.720
now that we're going to be going
down a by election and so on to

260
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:22.119
replace me? My means message to
folks in Elma Transcona is thank you and

261
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.279
a lot of gratitude for the honor
of having been able to serve our community.

262
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.720
I intend to continue that service in
another way, trying to make life

263
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:36.519
better for people, and I hope
that that as I exit, voters in

264
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.400
Elmwood Transcona will continue to support the
good work that jig Meets Singh and his

265
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.839
team is doing here in Ottawa.
Do you think your late father would be

266
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.680
proud of the move that you're making. I don't know exactly what my father

267
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:53.160
would think, but I know that
he always supported me in my decisions about

268
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:57.079
my career, whether that was when
I was studying philosophy or becoming an electrician

269
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.519
or entering into politics, and I
would ex fact that he would be happy

270
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.319
to support me in this latest move
as well. And the final is just

271
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.279
a procedural question. I believe you
have yet to stand up to the speak,

272
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.960
stand up in the house and resign. That is the press release went

273
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.880
out first, we're still you still
have to do that last. Yeah,

274
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.920
those pieces will will come before March
thirty. First. Yeah, thank you.

275
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.920
I really appreciate it. Thank you
very much, and we'll send that

317
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:15.519
now in English we already knew that
Justin Trudeau was not worth the cost,

318
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:23.039
the crime, the corruption and the
cover up. But now we know that

319
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:30.079
he cannot protect our people or our
country. We just received these documents that

320
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:37.359
Trudeau has been covering up for years. Documents related to a massive security breach

321
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:47.880
at the Trudeau government's most sensitive laboratory
where the most dangerous viruses and pathogens are

322
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:55.680
studied and handled. We have learned
that the Trudeau government's head of pathogens was

323
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:05.480
collaborating with members of Beijing's People's Liberation
Army, who are responsible for bioweapons and

324
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:13.960
bioterrorism. We know now that a
People's Liberation Army official was able to gain

325
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:17.960
personal access, walk in the door, look at computers. It has access

326
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:24.000
to all of our most important virological
secrets. Let me if you think any

327
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:30.720
of this is hyperbole, read the
report yourself. This is from government documents,

328
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:34.079
the true government's own documents. It
says here on page one forty two

329
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:39.160
Winnipeg lab scientist doctor Chwu is head
of the Special Pathogen's Unit, the top

330
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:43.799
person in that job, according to
documents. On page two forty two,

331
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.200
quote represents a serious and credible danger
to the Government of Canada as a whole,

332
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.799
and in particular at facilities considered high
security due to the potential for theft

333
00:33:52.160 --> 00:34:00.559
of dangerous materials attractive to terrorists and
foreign entities that conduct espionage to infiltrate and

334
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:07.920
damage the economic security of Canada.
End quote. It states further on page

335
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:13.880
two thirty nine, investigators assess that
doctor Chu communicated with foreign entities during her

336
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.440
trips to China. The evidence obtained
from interviews and from information collected from the

337
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.440
electronic content of her devices reveal that
this is indeed the case. As a

338
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:29.119
subject matter expert with access to sensitive
information and dangerous materials, doctor Chu presents

339
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:36.320
a realistic and credible threat to Canada's
economic security when conducting repeated and clandestine meetings

340
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.480
with foreign entities end quote. Then
it says doctor Chu conducted joint research with

341
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:49.159
the Major General Chen Way of the
People's Liberation Army, who, according to

342
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:55.639
page two thirty six, is a
noted top virologist at the Academy of Military

343
00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:05.559
Medical Scientists and is China's chief biological
defense expert, engage in research related to

344
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:16.840
biosafety, biodefense, and bio terrorism
bioterrorism end quote. And are these are

345
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:22.559
documents? This is right out of
the government's own documents, Trudeau, What

346
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.320
did he do when he found out
about this? Did he immediately informed Canadians

347
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.360
of the breach? Did he fire
anybody? Nope, no one was fired.

348
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.760
Did he call inquiry to get to
the bottom of it, Nope,

349
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.639
we didn't do that. Either.
Instead, he covered it all up.

350
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:45.599
He defied four parliamentary orders to release
these documents when the Speaker tried to get

351
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.639
them. He sued the speaker to
cover this up. He said it was

352
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.079
all for national security. But who
don't we know from a committee composed of

353
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:57.840
four members of Parliament, including one
Liberal and three judges, and I quote,

354
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:05.000
the information appears to be mostly about
tech the organization from embarrassment for failures

355
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:09.800
in policy and implementation, not legitimate
national security concerns, and its release is

356
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:13.400
essential to hold the government to account. In other words, there was no

357
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.960
national security reason why we couldn't have
had this before. It was only because

358
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:22.519
Trudeau didn't want the embarrassment before an
election. So what did you do?

359
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:31.159
Then? He collaborated knowing this,
He collaborated with Beijing by a vaccine for

360
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:37.360
COVID. Could you imagine if the
deal that Trudeau wanted to sign with Beijing

361
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:45.039
had gone ahead and we had procured
China made vaccines after learning this information,

362
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.320
That's what was in this guy's head. And if you think for a minute,

363
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.440
because I know there'll be all kinds
of excuses while he's not responsible,

364
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.440
and how could he possibly take ownership
of what happens in his government. Let

365
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.079
me quote him. He has a
document called Open and Accountable Government, and

366
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:05.519
I quote, as head of government, the Prime Minister has special responsibilities for

367
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:08.599
national security end quote. It's his
responsibility. This is his government's lab.

368
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:14.400
It's not a random university lab.
It's the top lab for the prime minister's

369
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:21.559
public health agency. And he is
exclusively responsible for the machinery of government as

370
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:25.519
prime minister of the country. So
this is on Justin Trudeau. I will

371
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:31.440
add one last thing. Not only
did he cover it up, not only

372
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.960
did he try to get a vaccine
from China. After knowing this, he

373
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.320
called a snap election to make sure
that the voting would happen before this came

374
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.039
out. And what happened in that
election Beijing interfered to help him win it.

375
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:52.840
This is a man who says he
admires China's basic communist dictatorship. We

376
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.920
cannot trust Justin Trudeau to keep our
people and its country safe. We need

377
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.760
a strong, concernervative, common sense
government that will root out foreign interference,

378
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.880
protect our critical secrets and our medical
research, and stand on guard for our

379
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:15.800
country to keep our people and our
nations safe. Thank you on a arrive

380
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:20.159
Can. There is a report by
CTV that says that there was a man

381
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:22.440
who runs a company that got eight
million dollars for a arrive Can. He

382
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:27.440
is still employed by the Department of
National Defense. What does that say to

383
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.719
you? It says to me that
there's no accountability. Now that we know

384
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:37.159
this, this individual should be immediately
fired and there should be an immediate police

385
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.960
investigation of his conduct and that of
the company with which he's associated, and

386
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.239
a broader inquiry within the public service
about how this contracting was allowed to go

387
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.079
on for so long on the Winnipeg
Lab. On the Winnipeg Lab, do

388
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:57.559
you think the National Microbiology Lab Infectious
disease researchers should be allowed to do any

389
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:04.360
collaborations with China at this point?
Why? Because we know that in this

390
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:15.199
instance that our highest placed, most
sensitive lab was infiltrated by people who collaborated

391
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:20.360
with the People's Liberation Army, who
did not reveal any of their ongoing partnerships

392
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:28.719
with the regime in Beijing, and
who transferred materials from our most critical lab

393
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:37.159
containing our most dangerous viruses over to
Beijing to and worked in collaboration with the

394
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:39.920
Wuhan Lab. So I don't think
this is the kind of collaboration we want.

395
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:45.920
We should be collaborating with like minded
democracies that we can to trust,

396
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:53.000
not those that want to attack our
interest. Pharmacare so, As mister Paulis

397
00:39:53.280 --> 00:40:00.320
has said, the government's own documents
have confirmed that the national security breaches at

398
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.360
the Winnipeg Lab represent a very serious, incredible danger to Canada and a very

399
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.039
and a realistic and credible threat to
Canada's economic security. As mister paulib has

400
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:15.199
also said in the government's own founding
document, Open and Accountable Government, the

401
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:20.159
Prime Minister alone is responsible for the
machinery of government, and the Prime Minister

402
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:24.320
has a special responsibility for national security. It is clear in these documents that

403
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.760
the Prime Minister failed in his responsibility
to protect the security of Canadians against a

404
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.840
very serious threat against this country and
its citizens. It's also clear that the

405
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.079
Prime Minister failed to ensure that the
machinery of government was set up on a

406
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:42.599
way to ensure that these kinds of
things did not happen at the Winnipeg Lab.

407
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.000
In addition to all of this,
what is equally appalling is the cover

408
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:52.639
up. It was three years ago
that we asked for these documents. In

409
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.840
fact, as mister Paulyev has said, the House of Commons and its two

410
00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:00.039
committees issued four orders for the production
of these documents three years ago. It

411
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:05.440
was four years ago that these scientists
were marched out of the lab in Winnipeg.

412
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:10.599
And during these last four years the
government covered it up. It initially,

413
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:14.960
as you will recall, tried to
punt this to the Enzikop Committee,

414
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:20.880
and then it took the Speaker to
court, and then it actually created this

415
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.119
ad hoc committee of four and ps
and three judges that took another year and

416
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:28.239
a half to review these documents.
So this has been a massive cover up

417
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:30.599
on part of this government, and
it's particularly appalling in light of the fact

418
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:36.000
that this is a government that came
to office promising greater transparency. We have

419
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.760
seen anything butt. In fact,
it is been said by Information Commissioners that

420
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:43.360
we've seen a reversal in transparency.
I'm part of this government, probably one

421
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:47.000
of the worst reversals in modern government
Canadian government history. We've also had a

422
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:52.400
government here that promised to respect parliament
and here we are, three years after

423
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:57.480
we asked for these documents and finally
starting to get some of the truth behind

424
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.639
what happened, and so this is
a damning indictment on this Prime Minister,

425
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.480
his management of the government of Canada
and his lack of respect for our democracy.

426
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:14.440
Good morning everyone. Canadians need to
know that two scientists with deep relationship

427
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:21.840
with many institutions inside the People's Republic
of China infiltrated Canada's top microbiology lab in

428
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:28.679
Winnipeg. While there. People's Liberation
Army scientists from the Academy of Military Medical

429
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:35.440
Scientists, which is charged with biology
enabled weapons, were able to gain a

430
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:43.039
secret security clearance which gave them unfettered
and unsupervised access to the laboratory and to

431
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:47.480
the computer based science network. This
is a travesty and a breach of security

432
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:52.840
at the highest levels that cannot be
tolerated. Aside from all this, we

433
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:57.679
know very clearly that the Trudeau Liberal
government wanted to cover this up, denying

434
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:01.880
four orders of Parliament, take the
Speaker to court, and calling an unnecessary

435
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:07.519
election during COVID, which of course
resulted in US understanding now very clearly that

436
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:13.599
there was Chinese interference in that election. Canadians need to know also that this

437
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:17.039
was not a national security threat cover
up. It is a cover up to

438
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:23.440
avoid political embarrassment. This is an
embarrassment to our country and Canadians also need

439
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:28.679
to know who is going to be
held responsible in this Sunny Ways government.

440
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.280
Who covered this up, who is
at the head from a political nature,

441
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:36.320
Why did they cover up for so
long? And when will someone such as

442
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.480
a minister or a prime minister be
held responsible on behalf of all Canadians.

443
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:45.039
I thank you. Just one thing
where we just want to add to this

444
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:50.719
is as we actually look at this
and you think about the documents that we

445
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:52.239
all took a lot of time last
night going through, in the cover up

446
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:57.239
that we've been going under for the
last three years because of Justin Trudeau and

447
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.400
his corruption and his cover ups.
We've got to remember that if you look

448
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.000
at page ninety seven, paragraph number
five in the CESIS document, it says,

449
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.679
and this is where this gets really
critical here when it comes to our

450
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.719
national security. The Academy of Military
Medical Sciences of the People's Liberation Army of

451
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:21.519
the People's Republic of China and has
offensive, chemical and biological weapons capabilities.

452
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:27.719
As for China's key national research and
development priorities is to support national offense research

453
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:34.639
projects by transforming the results of basic
civil research into military applications. So,

454
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:39.559
although you have Justin Trudeau not at
all concerned about our national security, more

455
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:45.719
concerned about his political embarrassments, us
as Conservatives under Pierre Poliev want to make

456
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:50.920
sure that we continue to go out
there and support our national security and make

457
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:57.480
sure that this never happens again.
We don't know exactly what materials, technology,

458
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:04.800
viruses and other biological things that they're
in that lab were actually turned over

459
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:08.960
to the PRC and to the People's
Liberation Army. We know that they're interested

460
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:15.679
in weaponization, and so we cannot
have these biological weapons created in China and

461
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:20.119
used against us here in Canada or
our allies. You want to talk about

462
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:23.400
an embarrassment, this is a national
embarrassment. It's an international embarrassment, and

463
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:30.760
our own national security is at risk. Let me just say that this is

464
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:38.840
a national security failure on the highest
level. The head of the unit at

465
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:47.519
the Winnipeg Lab responsible for pathogens was
collaborating with the foremost expert in the PLA

466
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:57.920
with respect to bio defense and bio
terrorism, and through it all the Prime

467
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:04.480
Minister was less than trans parent with
Canadians and he covered it up. And

468
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:12.400
the question is who bears responsibility And
the answer to that question is very simple.

469
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:20.559
Justin Trudeau bears responsibility. The buck
stops with Justin Trudeau as Prime minister.

470
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:28.159
He has special responsibilities for national security
and he has a lot to answer

471
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:40.039
for for this colossal failure that occurred
under his watch. Quebec Clalberta took his

472
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:52.719
province there on that curse. The

474
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:30.559
yeah, ask you Mexican, The
question was so so the question was on

475
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:37.800
Mexican visas. We the Harper government
put in the visa for Mexico which all

476
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:44.480
but eliminated false asylum claims from that
country. When Prime Minister Harper left office,

477
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:49.360
there were two hundred and fifty asylum
claims per year from Mexico. After

478
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:53.519
Justin Trudeau got in and lifted the
visa requirement, that rose to seventeen thousand,

479
00:47:54.280 --> 00:48:02.000
of which only eleven percent were actually
found to be legitimate asylum claimants.

480
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:07.639
The rest were presumably illegitimate, and
as a result, we have the social

481
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:15.039
services and our housing market completely overwhelmed
with false claimants. We called, first

482
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.840
of all, that the visa never
should have been lifted by Trudeau. He's

483
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:22.960
the one that caused the chaos in
our immigration system. He and he alone,

484
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:27.159
is to blame for it. We
called for him to reverse his mistake

485
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:31.280
a month ago. Finally he has
backed down to me on that demand,

486
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:34.920
and I only wish that he had
done it soon, or I should do

487
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.519
that. In franchise Francis aby demand

the General Assembly of the United Nations, speaking to the press on Climate and

499
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:31.679
Human Rights. Good afternoon all,
Thank you for your interests and for joining

500
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:38.280
me here today. Allow me to
start by thanking the people and Government of

501
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:45.880
Kenya for the warm reception and gracious
hospitality extended to myself and my delegation since

502
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:52.400
arrival in this vibrant city of Nairobi. I would also like to congratulate as

503
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:59.840
Excellency the President of Kenya as gracious
host and the executive Director of YUNAP for

504
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:08.000
successfully hosting the sixth session of the
UN Environment Assembly here in Nairobi. It

505
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:15.199
is my strong hope that these discussions
will provide us with additional guidance in tackling

506
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:22.239
the challenges of climate change, biodiversity
loss and pollution and help to mobilize urgently

507
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:30.480
needed action across the twenty thirty agender
for sustainable Development. You will note that

508
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:37.920
I deliberately said additional guidance because we
all know that we were warned long ago

509
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:45.039
about the climate crisis, but we
have been slow to take countervailing action.

510
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:54.639
This morning, UNEA six opened under
the theme effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral

511
00:51:54.719 --> 00:52:02.679
actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity
loss and pollution. I use the occasion

512
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:10.280
to reiterate my appreciation to UNA not
only as the premier platform to provide the

513
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:20.840
needed leadership on global environmental policies and
international environmental law, but also to ensure

514
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:28.880
interlinkages between addressing the environmental challenges on
the one hand and achieving sustainable development on

515
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:37.199
the other. I urge member states
and stakeholders alike to harness the value of

516
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:44.760
the UNAA six to scale up commitments
and importantly, to make a robust contribution

517
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:53.239
to the reinvigoration of multilateralism so that
it can more effectively deliver two people and

518
00:52:53.559 --> 00:53:00.000
planet. Indeed, the current climate, and I mean that politically and literally

519
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:10.920
is marked by profound instability. Our
multilateral system is regrettably on trial. High

520
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:19.159
level gatherings such as UNA six are
therefore prime occasions for world leaders whose countries

521
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:24.840
and peoples are adversely affected by the
climate crisis, to both advocate and enact

522
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:32.840
transformative change. Time and again,
Member states have reaffirmed the importance of integrating

523
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:40.320
the environmental dimensions throughout the sustainable development
of gender and acknowledge that a healthy environment

524
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:47.159
is both an essential requirement and a
key enabler of sustainable development. Yet,

525
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:53.119
far too often, the voices of
the very developing countries who are deeply and

526
00:53:53.320 --> 00:54:00.199
disproportionately affected by the climate crisis are
relegated to the margins and periphery, while

527
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:10.599
those at the center differ as the
situation grows worse daily. This is wrong

528
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:17.280
ethically, morally, politically, and
pragmatically. Pragmatically, it is wrong.

529
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:25.400
I am absolutely convinced that effective,
inclusive and sustainable multilateral action is as much

530
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:35.679
about designing mutually beneficial commitments as it
is about nurturing trust and implementation, including

531
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:40.840
all voices and concerns. This forum, therefore, is an opportunity to demonstrate

532
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:49.559
that human centered cooperation and collaboration are
not only still possible, but are in

533
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:58.159
fact indispensable. During my visit to
Kenya, I will also engage with senior

534
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:05.400
government officials, including His Excellency the
President, Doctor William Sumiuto, the Prime

535
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:14.360
Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign
and Diaspora Affairs who His Excellency Mister Musalia

536
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:21.719
Mudavadi and Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change on Forestry, Her Excellency

537
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:30.440
misunder Soipan two year I have already
held separate meetings with key un officials including

538
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:36.519
the EUNIP Executive Director, Miss Inger
Anderson, Director General of u N Office

539
00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:42.679
in Nairobi, Miss Zainaba Hawa Bangura, as well as senior officials of un

540
00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:49.480
Habitat. Furthermore, I will use
the opportunity of being in Nairobi to engage

541
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:55.719
with civil society and visit projects managed
by un Habitat in the vicinity of Nairobi.

542
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.800
In each setting, I will endeavor
to draw attention to the diverse impacts

543
00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:08.159
of climate change and environmental crisis on
the full and effective enjoyment of human rights,

544
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:14.840
including through my address at the University
of Nairobi, where I will discuss

545
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:22.039
the broader topic on how Africa can
contribute to reinvigorating our fractured multilateral system.

546
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:28.519
I will also use this opportunity to
communicate the ongoing work in New York,

547
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:35.480
especially the preparations for the Sustainability Week
in April. One of the signature events

548
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:44.320
of my presidency and the Summit of
the Future in September. My visitor Kenea

549
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:51.000
is therefore part of a broader effort
to underscore the UN's commitment to building a

550
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:57.559
safer, more prosperous, and indeed
more harmonious world, paving the way towards

551
00:56:57.599 --> 00:57:05.119
a sustainable future for all everywhere.
Together, we can deliver on peace,

552
00:57:06.159 --> 00:57:12.239
prosperity, progress and sustainability for all, a message I am glad to have

553
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:16.880
shared with all the UNA six participants. To this end, my door will

554
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:23.960
remain open to any nation or leader
desiring to engage in further cooperation across borders,

555
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:30.639
sectors or UN departments. I thank
you for your kind attention, and

556
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:35.079
now I turn the floor over to
you for any questions and or comments that

557
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:40.000
you may have. Thank you,
Thank you very much, President His Excellency

558
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:45.000
Dennis Francis. We will open the
floor now and I will encourage you to

559
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:52.360
ask questions. We will take group
questions in value of time. So let's

560
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:59.559
raise your hand or start the questions. If you have any yes, can

561
00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:09.599
you introduce yourself as well? And
then so I'm Gordless from the Spanish News

562
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:15.159
Science. Thank you, Denise.
I want to ask you that according to

563
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:19.119
the latest that from the war in
Gatsa, more than thirty thousand people have

564
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:23.440
been killed. What measures should be
taken to stop Israel's war against Hamas in

565
00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:31.599
the Gaza strip? Thank you?
You have two questions. Let me be

566
00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:37.000
sure that I got the question.
What message was it? Message? Measures?

567
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:45.519
Measures? Yes for your questions called
from Radio Africa Group. Two questions.

568
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:50.719
We understand some of the s dgs
are of the track. Which are

569
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:53.400
these and what needs to be done
to scale them up? The second question

570
00:58:53.559 --> 00:59:00.199
is on the interigs be doing conflict
and climate change. We have seen communities

571
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:05.920
fighting overcast resources. As the President
of UN, what is your message to

572
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:12.079
community that are fighting over cast resources? Thank you very much. We have

573
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:15.679
one more question and then we can
have a next round. Yeah, okay,

574
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.800
Helen Kinda from the Nation Media Group. You've mentioned that you'll be meeting

575
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:25.639
President Truteau and the Prime Cabinet Secretariam
Salium Davadi. Do we know the agenda

576
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:32.280
of your meeting or can you talk
about it? Thank you? Would you

577
00:59:34.679 --> 00:59:42.320
yes? Yes, Well let's start
at the end. I do have a

578
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:51.280
meeting schedule uh for to meet with
his Excellency the President and the Prime Cabinet

579
00:59:51.320 --> 01:00:00.639
Secretary. But I think it would
be premature and in a way discourteous of

580
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:09.039
me to reveal the substantive content of
that interface before it happens. So with

581
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:15.559
the greatest of respect, I'm unable
to give you details. But the fact

582
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:23.159
of the matter is this is the
largest This is the only UN station in

583
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:32.440
the global South, and it is
the largest UN station. It's the only

584
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:43.079
one that deals viscerally with issues related
to the environment. And so in a

585
01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:50.960
sense, while the UN itself is
a grand a brand, a global brand,

586
01:00:52.480 --> 01:01:00.239
Uniar in Nairobi carries the environmental brand
of the U. N It's a

587
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:05.519
very important duty station. And the
fact of the matter is, as we

588
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:15.239
know, environmental issues have become increasingly
important as a development issue in the last

589
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:23.559
fifteen to twenty years. In particular, whether our civilization succeeds or fails to

590
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:30.800
a large degree will depend on the
extent to which we can effectively address the

591
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:37.400
environmental issues that are confronting us,
perhaps the most pernicious of which being climate

592
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:43.280
change. In some parts of the
world, people are at risk of losing

593
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:49.800
of being inundated by the seas,
and of losing their culture and their lifestyle

594
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:59.679
and heritage. So the issues on
the global agenda that are discussed routinely in

595
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:05.559
Nairobi I extremely important issues, and
I would like to use this opportunity to

596
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:15.039
congratulate the government and people of Kenya
for their unfailing commitment and deep engagement with

597
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:23.519
the UN on these issues. It's
a dream of a partnership really that you

598
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:29.719
have this level of engagement and support, and I think it works well in

599
01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:36.679
the interest of both sides. But
because the environment must continue to be a

600
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:45.320
priority going forward, otherwise, I'll
leave it for you to imagine what the

601
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:55.239
consequence might be. So thank you
for your question. What needs what measures

602
01:02:55.400 --> 01:03:07.440
need to be taken to see the
war in Gaza? Well, war is

603
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:15.199
a decision, isn't it. It's
a decision. It's a human decision,

604
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:27.239
and therefore it's not difficult to stop
the war. Those who are waging war

605
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:39.159
can, in an enlightened moment,
decide, Okay, we're stopping it.

606
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:52.239
Stopping it does not mean giving in. It does not mean canceling the legitimate

607
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:59.079
right of the Israeli people to live
in peace and security. It means none

608
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:09.000
of that. It simply means,
unimportantly avoiding further bloodshed, pain and suffering.

609
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:26.599
It simply means not risking any further
the loss of human dignity by the

610
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:36.480
people who live in Gaza. It
means respecting their rights as innocent civilians who

611
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:49.280
are non combatants to live. What
I would also hope it means is that

612
01:04:49.440 --> 01:05:00.159
those who are directly involved in the
conflict would be open and amenable to a

613
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:10.519
process, a political process of dialogue
that could lead the way towards finding a

614
01:05:10.679 --> 01:05:19.400
lasting settlement. We cannot have in
perpetuity these cycles of war. It's been

615
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:28.719
going on now from the late nineteen
forties nineteen fifties, every three or four

616
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:34.840
years, a lot of blood spilled
on both sides. It's just not sustainable.

617
01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:41.920
But that should surprise no one.
Peace is never made in war.

618
01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:53.039
Peace is made in peace around the
table, through dialogue, through confidence building,

619
01:05:54.000 --> 01:06:01.280
through building trust. You know.
President Reagan used to say in his

620
01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:14.599
negotiations with the Russians in the nineteen
nineties, trust but verify. It's a

621
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:26.159
good practice. So it's a decision
now. Lots of people might say or

622
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.360
think, well, why isn't In
fact, today I was asked this question,

623
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:35.360
is why is this being permitted to
go on. It's not being permitted

624
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:45.559
to go on. The United Nations
General Assembly has spoken decisively in the context

625
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:53.800
of two resolution resolutions about Gaza.
Every major statement I've made on peace and

626
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:59.760
security, I've repeated the demands that
we've made. The war must stop,

627
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:05.960
all the hostages must be returned unconditionally, and there has to be there must

628
01:07:06.079 --> 01:07:11.840
be an opening for the provision of
humanitarian aid and support to the people of

629
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:19.679
Gaza. Because what has taken place
and what is taking place is offensive to

630
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:27.679
the human spirit and to human dignity, causes a great deal of disquiet and

631
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:35.880
angst among people. So our hope
is that wise judgment will prevail, even

632
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:44.000
as quiet negotiations behind the scenes are
taking place with the key players, which

633
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:49.679
initiatives the UN fully supports. Because
our object we have two objectives, really,

634
01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:59.039
one to stop the blood letting and
the suffering, and two to move

635
01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:09.920
decisively towards a peace process that will
endow Because in our view, the rights

636
01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:16.079
of the people of Israel and the
rights of the people of Palestine are not

637
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:26.319
irreconcilable. They're not irreconcilable. The
two state solution really is the only credible

638
01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:38.000
way to deal decisively and finally with
this issue. So peace is our brand

639
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:44.560
and we promote it and we defend
it, and that is why, for

640
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:49.760
example, we have made the statements
that we've made on Gaza. There are

641
01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:55.359
other initiatives that are in the works
that the General Assembly will be taking next

642
01:08:55.439 --> 01:09:01.479
week to deal with issues around Gaza, and we hope that that would lead

643
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:15.319
to the desired outcome. Okay,
s the SDGs. Yes, the SDG's

644
01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:26.039
progress in the SDGs has has faltered, and it's it's a confluence of things

645
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:31.279
that has created this problem. First
of all, we had the pandemic,

646
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:41.439
nobody anticipated it and so progress towards
the SDGs. Then we had this the

647
01:09:41.560 --> 01:09:45.560
war in Ukraine. Now we have
the war in Gaza. Then you had

648
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:55.279
rising inflation, then you had global
food insecurity. It's a confluence of things.

649
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:09.920
But for example, there is no
good reason why in twenty twenty four

650
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:16.960
there should be eight hundred and sixty
million people on Earth living in abject poverty,

651
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:29.319
no reason. It is unacceptable.
You know, war, you know

652
01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:40.319
it is as if it's not exactly
equivalent, but having those large numbers of

653
01:10:40.479 --> 01:10:48.399
people living in poverty, in abject
poverty, it's almost as if they Those

654
01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:57.000
people are living a life of war
every day, they are in a war

655
01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:02.960
for their survival, and we can
do something about it. We know what

656
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:11.600
we need to do about it.
But the key missing ingredient has been something

657
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:20.199
referred to in the SEGS as the
means of implementation, the resources to make

658
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:28.239
it happen, because implementing the reforms
will cost money, money that many developing

659
01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:35.000
countries, particularly the most vulnerable,
the LDCs, the landlocked countries, and

660
01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:41.600
the small island developing states, they
do not have the resources to implement the

661
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:45.520
commitments. It is not that they
are not committed. They are highly committed,

662
01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:55.319
but the resources are not in place. Same thing hunger. About nine

663
01:11:55.399 --> 01:12:01.359
hundred million people on this planet living
in hunger. And guess what, even

664
01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:13.439
if we achieve the goal of dealing
with abject poverty by twenty thirty, there

665
01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:23.199
will still be a couple hundred people
living in poverty. So we have to

666
01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:30.000
up our game. We have to
honor commitments that we've given that has been

667
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:39.279
lacking thus far. We have to
mobilize the resources necessary to impactfully change people's

668
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:44.600
lives, to give them hope,
to lift them up, to empower them

669
01:12:45.720 --> 01:12:58.079
really so that they can be encouraged
and supported in undertaking personal initiatives that would

670
01:12:58.439 --> 01:13:03.439
improve the conditions of living and the
level of welfare for themselves and their families.

671
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.039
Now, this is a human the
SD Jesus, you know, is

672
01:13:09.199 --> 01:13:17.000
very human centered. It's all about
people, and so our hope is that

673
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:31.399
the Summit of the Future will produce
a strong, ambitious outcome in terms of

674
01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:39.640
the commitments that will be given,
the further commitments to address the problems confronting

675
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:48.239
both the planet and the population.
In twenty thirty one more question about climate.

676
01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:56.000
You had a climate question, I
do have STG and the connection between

677
01:13:56.039 --> 01:14:02.000
the climate. Can you repeat your
question and didn't hear that one? My

678
01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:10.119
question was about conflict and conflicts and
climating or discuss resources. As the president,

679
01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:15.560
I know, yes, yes,
yes, Well, this is a

680
01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:29.680
this is a situation that uh,
we will we will have to learn to

681
01:14:29.840 --> 01:14:39.319
live with because resources are under great
pressure and if we do not manage them

682
01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:45.039
sustainably, we will run out of
them. Soother or rather than later.

683
01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:51.760
Take for example, let's just take
for example water portable water. There are

684
01:14:51.800 --> 01:14:59.720
many places in the world where water
is already in short supply, perennial drought,

685
01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:04.119
in the Southwest region of the United
States, for instance, in parts

686
01:15:04.119 --> 01:15:16.000
of California, which has a large
agriculture agricultural sector, a large viticulture sector

687
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:21.319
producing fruits and vegetables. Water is
an issue in many parts of the world.

688
01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:27.760
That's why the UN has a process
dealing with water, because we have

689
01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:35.760
to learn to manage resources more sensibly
and more sustainably. Most people do not

690
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:42.760
understand that water is very costly to
produce. You don't just wave a wand

691
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:48.439
and make it happen. It's very
costly to produce and to distribute, and

692
01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:59.319
most governments are not in a position
to finance that, even if on one

693
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:04.359
could find and the water. So
we have to be sensible. The answer

694
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:11.479
is not to engage in conflicts and
fight over it. The answer lies has

695
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:17.680
to lie in a very sensible,
rational discussion, first of all about how

696
01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:29.199
to improve the production of water and
secondly, how to manage it sustainably so

697
01:16:29.399 --> 01:16:39.079
that both sides can share it.
That's the only real solution. There has

698
01:16:39.159 --> 01:16:44.399
to be some agreement, some understanding
between both parties about how to share the

699
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:50.960
resource. And particularly since you know
it happens that many rivers, important rivers

700
01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:57.960
in the world straddle five four or
five six countries. Those countries will have

701
01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:02.920
to come together and work out of
formula by which they will share those resources.

702
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:10.680
Otherwise what you will have is repeated
conflict, angst, pain, people

703
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:16.479
losing their lives over something that cannot
be fixed, certainly not in the short

704
01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:25.479
term because of climate change. And
to square the circle, part of this

705
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:38.159
allusion to that is for each of
us individually to reconsider our own actions and

706
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:44.039
the impact it has on climate change, so that, for example, when

707
01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:46.600
you're brushing your teeth in the morning
and the tap is on and the water

708
01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:53.479
is just running, that's water that's
being lost to the system that you might

709
01:17:53.600 --> 01:18:01.159
need tomorrow. It's the cumulative effect
of little things and the cumulative effect of

710
01:18:01.359 --> 01:18:09.000
big things that will help to save
us. So there has to be cooperation

711
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:15.840
at the community level, at the
national level, at the regional level,

712
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:28.760
and at the international level to manage
these resources more sensibly, because by twenty

713
01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:34.439
fifty, I think there will be
nine billion of us inhabiting the planet.

714
01:18:35.640 --> 01:18:44.640
The numbers are growing and swiftly,
and so what we call in geography population

715
01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:51.520
pressure is going to intensify. It
cannot be that we allow this to so

716
01:18:53.039 --> 01:19:01.479
destabilize our society as to risk a
total breakdown and war. So sustainable living

717
01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:13.119
involves each of us. Is it
wise to keep demanding more or is it

718
01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:18.920
more sensible, perhaps to consume and
demand less, so that there will be

719
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:24.600
some left for tomorrow, and more
than tomorrow, there will be some left

720
01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:30.920
left for the next generation, your
children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren,

721
01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:35.319
to ensure, for example, that
the rich biodiversity that we have,

722
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:45.600
they have because guess what, many
of the medical solutions that could address some

723
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:53.560
of the diseases that are so rampant
nowadays, maybe the source of the cures

724
01:19:54.920 --> 01:20:03.239
might rely might reside in that biodiversity. So we have to find a way

725
01:20:05.159 --> 01:20:15.560
to live responsibly and harmoniously with the
environment. That is the only way we'll

726
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:21.199
be able to succeed with these alarming
figures in mind. Let's move to the

727
01:20:21.279 --> 01:20:30.319
next round of questions. So you
had a question, okay, So if

728
01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:36.039
we have no more questions, okay, do you have a question? No?

729
01:20:36.520 --> 01:20:44.159
Okay, So I will thank my
dear correspondence for being here and engaging

730
01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:49.680
with us on behalf of President Dennis
Francis. Thank you for coming and have

731
01:20:49.800 --> 01:21:03.279
a great evening. Thank you very
much. Thank you for listening today.

732
01:21:03.279 --> 01:21:06.039
If you've been listening to Pology and
write to OA Depictions of Media Radio,

733
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:15.239
it would seem that what we really
need are peaceful solutions where people are learning

734
01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:21.319
to work together in order to solve
today's problems. That what affects one country

735
01:21:23.199 --> 01:21:27.760
seems to affect another country on the
other side of the world with our global

736
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:34.720
economy and how things are working today, So why not just simply work together

737
01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:45.359
and solve the problems of the day. It seems simple, but yet governments

738
01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:56.920
don't seem to understand that working as
one is the best solution overall. The

739
01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:03.319
only way that we the people can
make that problem go away and help our

740
01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:12.560
governments work together is by casting the
vote, by marching in protests peacefully,

741
01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:27.439
and voicing our opinion to government officials
with letters, emails, and other peaceful

742
01:22:27.560 --> 01:22:35.479
statements and demonstrations. Thank you for
listening. Please find that subscribe button wherever
