Speaker 1: I'm around. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.
Speaker 2: Now there's Dave Scott, a known Canadian. Are there wildfires
Speaker 2: near you, Dave?
Speaker 1: Well, the biggest wildfire that is south to me by
Speaker 1: about twenty eight miles, is about the size of about
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand football fields right now, So
Speaker 1: it is pretty big and it continues to roar. I
Speaker 1: apologize that my voice is a little hoarse, but we've
Speaker 1: had twenty four hours a really heavy forest fire smoke here,
Speaker 1: and you know, it just doesn't taste good. Walt.
Speaker 2: No, we've suffered in the northern part of the northern
Speaker 2: part of the lower forty eight. We have suffered with
Speaker 2: that smoke very very often through the month of July
Speaker 2: and August. It burns, It makes it difficult to speak,
Speaker 2: makes it difficult to breathe, and there's nothing that we
Speaker 2: can do.
Speaker 1: Well. If Canada would learn how to put them out
Speaker 1: rather than just have a bunch of bureaucracy fires burning,
Speaker 1: we might be able to actually save that air quality
Speaker 1: a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Now, let's review what the benefit is to the Canadian
Speaker 2: bureaucracy to have wildfires. What is the benefit?
Speaker 1: Number one, employment number two, pushing a climate change effort politically.
Speaker 1: Number three, it makes a lot of companies money. Number
Speaker 1: four it's and I told you so to jack up
Speaker 1: prices on everything, which means more tax dollars because the
Speaker 1: companies like. Giving an example, when the fire first hit
Speaker 1: in a town south to be called Clinton, British Columbia,
Speaker 1: was evacuated, they bumped diesel prices up to two dollars
Speaker 1: and sixty three point nine cent a leader, which is
Speaker 1: about eleven dollars a gallon. Wow wow, yeah, wow yeah.
Speaker 2: Now what about these college students? How are they involved?
Speaker 1: Well, if you look at the firefighters, they're all over town.
Speaker 1: They're heroes and are in our estimation because I mean,
Speaker 1: putting your life on the line when you've got a
Speaker 1: you know, one thousand plus degree fire burning just ahead
Speaker 1: of you, you know, they are heroes. But the big
Speaker 1: thing about them is if you look at their age,
Speaker 1: they're all college student ages. I guess when they go
Speaker 1: back to school after.
Speaker 2: Labor Day, right, and what happens then?
Speaker 1: Usually the majority of fires have been put out.
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? Why does it happen every year?
Speaker 1: I'm going to use the word stupidity. I talked to
Speaker 1: someone yesterday whose husband is working on the fires, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of standing around. We there's a lot
Speaker 1: of crews who could be out working putting out the fire,
Speaker 1: but they're waiting for orders. A lot of the fire crews.
Speaker 1: Like when we burned up here in twenty seventeen, we
Speaker 1: had fire trucks from all over the province of British
Speaker 1: Columbia coming to help, from the Vancouver area, from Vancouver Island,
Speaker 1: you know, volunteer firefighters. They were coming out because our
Speaker 1: town was very close to burning down, and up here
Speaker 1: we don't see that this year, we don't see it.
Speaker 1: I mean a helicopter. Look, a helicopter carries a bag
Speaker 1: that could there's two different sized bags I believe they use.
Speaker 1: One can hold four hundred gallons of water. One can
Speaker 1: use a hold six hundred gallons of water. Yes, they
Speaker 1: can refill anywhere. But what damage are they really doing
Speaker 1: to the fire? Right? I mean by the time they
Speaker 1: by the time they drop fly back, grab another bucket, Right,
Speaker 1: it's like a tea spoon.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, there's no there's no impact on that. So
Speaker 2: are these Union fire crews? Is that why they're standing
Speaker 2: around just watching I don't think they're.
Speaker 1: Union fire crews. But what's happened over the time is
Speaker 1: they've created contracts with these companies who hire people to
Speaker 1: fight forest fires. And you know, back in the day,
Speaker 1: like a lot of the old timers in my town
Speaker 1: one hundred mile House, British Columbia, you know when there
Speaker 1: was a forest fire, when you live in a forestry
Speaker 1: community like I do. Back then, there's a few things
Speaker 1: that would happen. Number One, we weren't spraying round up
Speaker 1: or glycophates on the forest to kill bugs that kill
Speaker 1: evasive species. We weren't doing that. Number Two, we were
Speaker 1: also having crews go in and thin out the dead
Speaker 1: fall that has if you go in any forest, it's
Speaker 1: dead fall. They would clear out those trees. Okay, those
Speaker 1: dead fault trees. How do you think we always had firewood?
Speaker 1: Dry firewood? You know when you go camping, you stop
Speaker 1: at the gas station, you pick up, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of bags of firewood. Well, that's because it was
Speaker 1: dead fault. We have people doing that now there's nobody
Speaker 1: doing that. Number three is with these government contracts going on.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, there was no government contract, so
Speaker 1: the loggers would get in there. They would bulldoze in
Speaker 1: the area of trees, cut down a bunch of trees
Speaker 1: to create a fire line so that way the fire
Speaker 1: couldn't burn past that line. Now we don't do that.
Speaker 1: We wait and wait and we see. So this big
Speaker 1: fire that's south to me, they didn't get a crew
Speaker 1: on it for five days. For the first five days
Speaker 1: that was able to burn. And they're like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: not going to come over the ridge of the mountains.
Speaker 1: And guess what it did. It came over the ridge
Speaker 1: of the mountains, putting a community in potential peril. And
Speaker 1: that's where it gets ridiculous. These people are standing down.
Speaker 1: You have people in Vancouver, the majority of them have
Speaker 1: never lived in a rural community with a logging background,
Speaker 1: and here they are making decisions for people who know
Speaker 1: how to put out the fires but aren't allowed to
Speaker 1: because they don't have a government contract.
Speaker 2: So we're not going to see an end to these
Speaker 2: far as far as ruining our lives in North America,
Speaker 2: at least till the end of August.
Speaker 1: Well that's my prediction, all right, that's my prediction.
Speaker 2: They've Scott the host of spaced Out radio broadcaster journalist
Speaker 2: updates on UAP's UFOs and mysteries. Mister Scott, we.
Speaker 1: Had a hat trick of bad news in the UFO world. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Number one, the speech that everybody was talking about that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump today was going to be making a speech
Speaker 1: on on UFOs. Guess what, Walter didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't hear any speech about UFOs.
Speaker 1: No, there was none. There was none. It was all
Speaker 1: hype and no action once again. So that's disappointment number one.
Speaker 1: Disappointment number two comes from Time magazine, who actually put
Speaker 1: a UFO on the cover basically said that, hey, we
Speaker 1: need to start taking this story a little bit more seriously,
Speaker 1: which is great because Time magazine is massive. But the
Speaker 1: reporter who wrote on this story was a little bit
Speaker 1: late to the party because everything in this extremely long article,
Speaker 1: although eloquently written, was from nine years ago. The news
Speaker 1: that broke nine years ago that the New York Times
Speaker 1: article on UFOs basically came out. He was talking about
Speaker 1: the original videos that came out in twenty seventeen, the
Speaker 1: Tic Tac, the Go Faster, the Gimbal videos, talking about
Speaker 1: all these interactions with UFOs, The same people who've said
Speaker 1: the exact same things for nine years in a row.
Speaker 1: Highly disappointing. There was nothing updated on that. And this
Speaker 1: is a problem for the UFO world because every time
Speaker 1: we seem to take a couple of steps forward, something
Speaker 1: major happens, whether it's doctor Phil, whether it's Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: whether it's Time magazine, that goes right back to the
Speaker 1: beginning of nine years ago, and we're all sitting there saying,
Speaker 1: what does this do to help move the subject forward?
Speaker 1: Have you not been paying attention as a journalist on
Speaker 1: what is happening today and not nine years ago? So
Speaker 1: that was disappointment number two for the hat trick. Over
Speaker 1: the UK, the British Parliament said the Ministry of Defense
Speaker 1: will no longer be looking into the UFO phenomena. According
Speaker 1: to them, there is no they're there and so they're
Speaker 1: not going to be wasting time and resources.
Speaker 2: Who who said they're not going to be wasting time
Speaker 2: on this? What organization was this?
Speaker 1: The British Government, the UK govern Oh.
Speaker 2: They're done. The British government is done with this.
Speaker 1: They're done, got it, They're done.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's good to know.
Speaker 1: This isn't surprising though, because Commonwealth countries, okay, and way
Speaker 1: back in the day when you guys were one. I
Speaker 1: mean before you had your little treason to act there
Speaker 1: on July fourth, Yeah, seventeen seventy six. We were wrong, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, one thing Commonwealth countries are very good at,
Speaker 1: Canada included, is they are very good at the old adage,
Speaker 1: if we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist. So
Speaker 1: basically what's happening within the UK now is they are
Speaker 1: pushing UFOs back under the rug. Nobody wants to deal
Speaker 1: with it, they don't want to waste their time and
Speaker 1: resources on it. And what's basically signals they're not giving
Speaker 1: up their secrets, they are not giving up their story,
Speaker 1: and that could be very telling for what happens in
Speaker 1: North America here coming up, because, like I said, a
Speaker 1: lot of people were expecting Donald Trump to give that
Speaker 1: UFO speech today. It didn't happen, and this is what
Speaker 1: the result is. Maybe, as I've said previously on this program,
Speaker 1: that maybe, just maybe this is the goal in the
Speaker 1: endgame overall, keep it to what happened nine years ago,
Speaker 1: and that way nobody asked questions about today, and that
Speaker 1: way it's easier to throw the secrets back under the rug.
Speaker 1: So nobody knows what's going on.
