WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm around. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.

2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Now there's Dave Scott, a known Canadian. Are there wildfires

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>near you, Dave?

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, the biggest wildfire that is south to me by

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>about twenty eight miles, is about the size of about

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and twenty thousand football fields right now, So

7
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>it is pretty big and it continues to roar. I

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>apologize that my voice is a little hoarse, but we've

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>had twenty four hours a really heavy forest fire smoke here,

10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it just doesn't taste good. Walt.

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>No, we've suffered in the northern part of the northern

12
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>part of the lower forty eight. We have suffered with

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>that smoke very very often through the month of July

14
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and August. It burns, It makes it difficult to speak,

15
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>makes it difficult to breathe, and there's nothing that we

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 2>can do.

17
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Well. If Canada would learn how to put them out

18
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>rather than just have a bunch of bureaucracy fires burning,

19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 1>we might be able to actually save that air quality

20
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more.

21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Now, let's review what the benefit is to the Canadian

22
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>bureaucracy to have wildfires. What is the benefit?

23
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Number one, employment number two, pushing a climate change effort politically.

24
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Number three, it makes a lot of companies money. Number

25
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>four it's and I told you so to jack up

26
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>prices on everything, which means more tax dollars because the

27
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>companies like. Giving an example, when the fire first hit

28
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in a town south to be called Clinton, British Columbia,

29
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>was evacuated, they bumped diesel prices up to two dollars

30
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 1>and sixty three point nine cent a leader, which is

31
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>about eleven dollars a gallon. Wow wow, yeah, wow yeah.

32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Now what about these college students? How are they involved?

33
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you look at the firefighters, they're all over town.

34
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>They're heroes and are in our estimation because I mean,

35
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>putting your life on the line when you've got a

36
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, one thousand plus degree fire burning just ahead

37
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>of you, you know, they are heroes. But the big

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 1>thing about them is if you look at their age,

39
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>they're all college student ages. I guess when they go

40
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 1>back to school after.

41
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Labor Day, right, and what happens then?

42
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Usually the majority of fires have been put out.

43
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that amazing? Why does it happen every year?

44
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to use the word stupidity. I talked to

45
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>someone yesterday whose husband is working on the fires, and

46
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of standing around. We there's a lot

47
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of crews who could be out working putting out the fire,

48
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>but they're waiting for orders. A lot of the fire crews.

49
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Like when we burned up here in twenty seventeen, we

50
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>had fire trucks from all over the province of British

51
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Columbia coming to help, from the Vancouver area, from Vancouver Island,

52
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, volunteer firefighters. They were coming out because our

53
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>town was very close to burning down, and up here

54
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>we don't see that this year, we don't see it.

55
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean a helicopter. Look, a helicopter carries a bag

56
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 1>that could there's two different sized bags I believe they use.

57
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 1>One can hold four hundred gallons of water. One can

58
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>use a hold six hundred gallons of water. Yes, they

59
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>can refill anywhere. But what damage are they really doing

60
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to the fire? Right? I mean by the time they

61
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>by the time they drop fly back, grab another bucket, Right,

62
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 1>it's like a tea spoon.

63
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, yeah, there's no there's no impact on that. So

64
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>are these Union fire crews? Is that why they're standing

65
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>around just watching I don't think they're.

66
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Union fire crews. But what's happened over the time is

67
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>they've created contracts with these companies who hire people to

68
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>fight forest fires. And you know, back in the day,

69
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of the old timers in my town

70
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>one hundred mile House, British Columbia, you know when there

71
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>was a forest fire, when you live in a forestry

72
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>community like I do. Back then, there's a few things

73
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 1>that would happen. Number One, we weren't spraying round up

74
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>or glycophates on the forest to kill bugs that kill

75
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>evasive species. We weren't doing that. Number Two, we were

76
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>also having crews go in and thin out the dead

77
00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>fall that has if you go in any forest, it's

78
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>dead fall. They would clear out those trees. Okay, those

79
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>dead fault trees. How do you think we always had firewood?

80
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Dry firewood? You know when you go camping, you stop

81
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>at the gas station, you pick up, you know, a

82
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of bags of firewood. Well, that's because it was

83
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>dead fault. We have people doing that now there's nobody

84
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>doing that. Number three is with these government contracts going on.

85
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day, there was no government contract, so

86
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the loggers would get in there. They would bulldoze in

87
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the area of trees, cut down a bunch of trees

88
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to create a fire line so that way the fire

89
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 1>couldn't burn past that line. Now we don't do that.

90
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>We wait and wait and we see. So this big

91
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>fire that's south to me, they didn't get a crew

92
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>on it for five days. For the first five days

93
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that was able to burn. And they're like, oh, it's

94
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 1>not going to come over the ridge of the mountains.

95
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And guess what it did. It came over the ridge

96
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of the mountains, putting a community in potential peril. And

97
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that's where it gets ridiculous. These people are standing down.

98
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>You have people in Vancouver, the majority of them have

99
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>never lived in a rural community with a logging background,

100
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and here they are making decisions for people who know

101
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>how to put out the fires but aren't allowed to

102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>because they don't have a government contract.

103
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>So we're not going to see an end to these

104
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>far as far as ruining our lives in North America,

105
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 2>at least till the end of August.

106
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Well that's my prediction, all right, that's my prediction.

107
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>They've Scott the host of spaced Out radio broadcaster journalist

108
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>updates on UAP's UFOs and mysteries. Mister Scott, we.

109
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Had a hat trick of bad news in the UFO world. Yeah.

110
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Number one, the speech that everybody was talking about that

111
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump today was going to be making a speech

112
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>on on UFOs. Guess what, Walter didn't.

113
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't hear any speech about UFOs.

114
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>No, there was none. There was none. It was all

115
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 1>hype and no action once again. So that's disappointment number one.

116
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Disappointment number two comes from Time magazine, who actually put

117
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a UFO on the cover basically said that, hey, we

118
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>need to start taking this story a little bit more seriously,

119
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 1>which is great because Time magazine is massive. But the

120
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>reporter who wrote on this story was a little bit

121
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 1>late to the party because everything in this extremely long article,

122
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 1>although eloquently written, was from nine years ago. The news

123
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 1>that broke nine years ago that the New York Times

124
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 1>article on UFOs basically came out. He was talking about

125
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the original videos that came out in twenty seventeen, the

126
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Tic Tac, the Go Faster, the Gimbal videos, talking about

127
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>all these interactions with UFOs, The same people who've said

128
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the exact same things for nine years in a row.

129
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Highly disappointing. There was nothing updated on that. And this

130
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>is a problem for the UFO world because every time

131
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we seem to take a couple of steps forward, something

132
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>major happens, whether it's doctor Phil, whether it's Joe Rogan,

133
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Time magazine, that goes right back to the

134
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 1>beginning of nine years ago, and we're all sitting there saying,

135
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 1>what does this do to help move the subject forward?

136
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Have you not been paying attention as a journalist on

137
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 1>what is happening today and not nine years ago? So

138
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that was disappointment number two for the hat trick. Over

139
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the UK, the British Parliament said the Ministry of Defense

140
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>will no longer be looking into the UFO phenomena. According

141
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to them, there is no they're there and so they're

142
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to be wasting time and resources.

143
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Who who said they're not going to be wasting time

144
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>on this? What organization was this?

145
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>The British Government, the UK govern Oh.

146
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>They're done. The British government is done with this.

147
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>They're done, got it, They're done.

148
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's good to know.

149
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 1>This isn't surprising though, because Commonwealth countries, okay, and way

150
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>back in the day when you guys were one. I

151
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>mean before you had your little treason to act there

152
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>on July fourth, Yeah, seventeen seventy six. We were wrong, right, yeah, yeah.

153
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, one thing Commonwealth countries are very good at,

154
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Canada included, is they are very good at the old adage,

155
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>if we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist. So

156
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>basically what's happening within the UK now is they are

157
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>pushing UFOs back under the rug. Nobody wants to deal

158
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>with it, they don't want to waste their time and

159
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>resources on it. And what's basically signals they're not giving

160
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>up their secrets, they are not giving up their story,

161
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 1>and that could be very telling for what happens in

162
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>North America here coming up, because, like I said, a

163
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of people were expecting Donald Trump to give that

164
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.519
<v Speaker 1>UFO speech today. It didn't happen, and this is what

165
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 1>the result is. Maybe, as I've said previously on this program,

166
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that maybe, just maybe this is the goal in the

167
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>endgame overall, keep it to what happened nine years ago,

168
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and that way nobody asked questions about today, and that

169
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>way it's easier to throw the secrets back under the rug.

170
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>So nobody knows what's going on.

171
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.600
