BIG PHARMA VS BIG BIRDS: The Strange Case of 400 Canadian Ostriches · the objective JERK

• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: What's up?
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: You're listening to the objective jerk and I am said jerk.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: I just recorded about five minutes of my podcast and then realized that I didn't realize it, but like all of a sudden my my ears kicked in and I could hear myself and I'm like, what the crap?
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't I I wasn't listening to myself before.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what happened.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: So now I gotta start all over.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yay.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: Hope everybody's doing well.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Had a typhoon, hit us.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think I recorded my last podcast like a day before or something like that, before it was game.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't bad because it was off the mainland, it was up north, so but it it got pretty windy.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: We had some pretty good gusts and it was raining and everything all night.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: So, of course, lost power, branches are out, and this and that.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: We have a generator hooked up to the house, so that's nice.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: But this time though, man, it took a while for the electric company to get the power back on the house.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Took almost two days, or did take two days, actually.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: So that was kind of annoying.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because I gotta have my generator, man.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta have I gotta have some power.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I gotta have I gotta have AC, man.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Just the fan.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, I just don't do well in heat, you know.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I I think about that sometimes, like when when the solar I forget what they call it, it's not a solar flare, but a solar thing, you know.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: The let's see, I'm gonna look it up.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: So in the 1890s or early 1900s or something, this happened.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: So the sun like will spit out chunks of whatever the sun's made out of, right?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: And it's sometimes, yeah, if it's a if it's a big one, it's you know, sends out like radiation and various things that affect the earth, and it has affected the earth in the past.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Knocked out, you know, communications on uh what is it called?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when they used to do uh you know, back in the day.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Or gosh, what is it called?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: So you'd you'd have Morse code, but it was I can't remember what it's called.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to see if I can think of it before before it comes up.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Carrington event.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: Geomagnetic storm.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let me okay, real quick, I guess.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: For those that don't know.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like I know all kinds of stuff.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: I I mean you guys, everybody's got internet now.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway, the Carrington event, white right, was the most intense geomagnetic geomagnetic storm in recorded history.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, is this the right thing?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: Telegraph, that's what I was trying to think of.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: 1859, okay.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: Coronal mass ejection.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I was trying to think of.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: A coronal mass ejection.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: So a coronal is a significant injection of plasma mass from the sun's corona into the heliosphere.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: I was way off.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: CMEs are often associated with solar flares and other forms of solar activity.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so solar flares happen.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so this thing, you know, took out telegraph stations and stuff like you know, this was back in 1859.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: So just now, picture the same thing happening, but it's gonna knock out satellites that are in its path, and just everything that's digital technology, just done.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's not like forever, but for a while anyway.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't affect the whole planet, it just affects whichever.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: So whoever's in the daylight at the right place at the right time when it hits, that's who's gonna be affected.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, I think about that.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what if that happens to us and we get hit and then we lose uh internet and power for a month or something, you know?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Can't can't use ATMs possibly, you know, just things like that.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's just kind of crazy.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I think about that and I'm like, Wait, what am I gonna do when I have no AC or I have to rely on my generator, which I wouldn't be able to run, you know.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: I could run, you know, yeah, two days is fine.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: But to run for a week or two or a month, there's no way I could have it run that long.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: That that's that get pretty expensive, you know, even for here.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like I'd have to I would save, I would, I'd have to pick and choose when I'd use it, you know, maybe super hot times of the day, or definitely wouldn't have air conditioning until nighttime.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: And you would think, like, oh, it's nighttime though, but yeah, but it's it's still like it's not as hot, but it's still so humid that it's just the air is so so I mean you could, you know, it's doable here if you have all the windows open and it's you know, nighttime and you got some good fanage going on.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's possible, but it's just like I used to plan of having like a bunch of wall-mounted fans in my room.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like one, like four, so each my wife and I would have, but she doesn't really like having a fan on her, like she hates I have a fan, even though I got the AC on, I got a fan going too.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: I've always had a fan, mainly for the noise, but also I like you know it blowing on me.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so it's just I was dealing with that, and I just I don't know.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: That is kind of a concern.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Some you know, if I have to I have to deal with that, that would suck.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because a lot of people don't they don't have power around here, you know.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: There are some people that have generators, but usually it's just businesses that do, which okay, like our neighbor, they have a water station, so it's a business, so they have a generator.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: But most people that just like the house, they don't use a generator, so it's like I'm a little spoiled as far as that goes, I guess.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: But and then we have we actually brought a generator over from the States that was my dad's, and we bought one when we were here.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: The one that we're using for my house now is the one we bought here, it's Chinese or whatever, but I mean so far it's been running pretty good.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: It probably needs a little, it needs to have a tune-up though.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: And then the one that was my dad's, which is a Honda, is over at my father-in-law's, but it the plug, so that one has like you could switch it from you know 220 to 110, but nothing here is 110, and it has a bunch of plugs for 110, but it only has one plug for 220.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: And that plug is not a common, is it a three prong?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's a four-prong plug around here, so it's like trying to get one around here so he can plug in, you know, just his fan, just you know, normal stuff in the house.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it would power his house, but it's not wired to do that.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: So we also have like a little mini generator that we bought for when we go to for All Souls Day at the at the graveyard.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: So we bring that little Japanese generator you know to have lights and stuff while we're there, and so he's been he was using that.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so that's but so the storm hit, you know, it was it was pretty gnarly.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: We went and got gas in the middle of the night, my wife and I, and it was a little it was a little crazy.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: There's some trees on the highway and and this and that.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: But it wasn't, I mean, too bad.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, it was what's funny is like it seems like when the storms are coming here and they're like, oh my god, we're gonna die, it ends up being such a nothing burger of a storm.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then when they don't really like, oh there's a storm, but it's gonna be here, it ends up being worse.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Always a case, right?
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: Drinking my what is it, post-workout stuff.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think it helps actually though, because I haven't really I've been working out now for almost three months consistently, and I haven't really been sore.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: I mean not real bad, you know.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so I got my mic over here a little further away trying out, because it seems like I don't know, I have my stuff too loud, so you're probably noticing a little difference in my audio levels.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so that's just kind of some of the crap that I've been dealing with.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Still don't have internet.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I was trying to open up a web page there on my computer, and I forgot that there's no internet right now.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: Should come back on today.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I my phone, that's how I got that information.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: But so yeah, I don't know, man.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: Starlink sounds better and better every time Typhoon season gets here.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Man, we almost got it a while ago, but anyway, how long have I been talking?
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, I have actually some stuff planned to talk about, and I'm going on and on about damn typhoon.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: So let's see.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: So that's all that's been going on with me.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Trying to stay busy, of course.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: I got some plans for after this podcast, but it sounds like it's raining.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Although I don't think it's raining now.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe it's actually now is a good time to actually do yard work because it's not so hot, but then you get wet.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Jimmy Kimmel, right?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is how retarded the left is.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: They are trying to make this whole thing with Jimmy Kimmel out to be an event that is equivalent to Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Charlie Kirk is doing so much for the conservative and Christians and stuff like that, you know what I mean?
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Bringing people bringing people over and bringing attention to, you know, whatever, and then the left is trying to be like, oh my gosh, who knew Jimmy Kimmel was the I don't know, it's just it's so it just it's uh I still think most of it's just manufactured.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think a lot of people actually believe.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: I know some people do believe it, but I think most of it is bots.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: But it's just like they're trying to make it like it's this big government shutdown of you know, to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you know, when he has shit viewership, you know what I mean?
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like, he's not popular.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, them trying to silence Joe Rogan, being the most popular podcaster, you know, that's a big deal.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then you have the left where they got rid of Roseanne, the chick on Disney, I always forget her name.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: So many people that were canceled and they celebrated, and oh, it's so great.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: But then when Jimmy Kimmel, somebody on the left, gets canceled or gets whatever, oh my gosh, Jesus! First amendment, ah, and they start freaking out.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I just don't I don't get it.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, do you remember back in the day when there was like a new talk show like all the time?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: There was people you had like let's see, who I mean you had the normal Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, but you had like people that started talk shows.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: And like the one that's like the most well-known failure one is Chevy Chase.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: So Chevy Chase did his own talk show, right?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: And they canceled it quickly because you know there was no viewers, right?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody was watching it.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: What's funny is the amount of viewers that that show, the Chevy Chase show, was getting in 90, whatever it was that it came out.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let me see, what does it say?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'll just say hell is got more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel gets now.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: So it was like Chevy Chase was getting like close to three million viewers.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Jimmy Kimmel gets like between one and two, like one point something and two million uh viewers a night.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's it.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: Why why is he still on the air?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know, why what happened to people getting fired or getting canceled because you know their show sucked.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: That doesn't happen anymore.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like, and they don't and now they're like, oh well, he got six million views when yeah, when for his return back to see what he was gonna say about the whole thing, and then that's it.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody got off.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: Then watch, his his viewership's gonna drop half, and it's gonna just keep continuing to drop back to where it was.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: The dude is done.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna be, he's he's it's gonna get cancelled anyway.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: But like, it's just it's just so annoying how the left tries to just make everything about something it's not, you know?
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like what how I don't know, I don't get it.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I know most of it is fabricated, but not all of it is, because I have my liberal friend who's kind of he's saying the same talking points, you know.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, oh my gosh, dude, I'm not gonna get this debate with you.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: I hate getting in arguments over on a keyboard or on the phone.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's like that skit on uh Key and Pill where he's like, oh, what's up?
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: Are we gonna go out tonight?
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like the guy's like, are we gonna go out tonight or not?
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm waiting.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sure.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's cool, man.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: We can go whenever.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: We can go whenever you know how you just kind of interpret.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same, I don't know.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: You can't have a debate over text and messaging.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: You just can't.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's it's pretty much impossible to do it in person with especially a left tard, because they just they all they're doing is just anger, and they just say all this stuff, oh, racist, you know.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's just I don't know.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: All the people that had any kind of rationality and were open to debates have moved from the left and become center or you know, slightly right.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: Anyone who's still left is just a psycho.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: And needs to be in an asylum.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's just insane, dude.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then the other thing, so that's it for that.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, let me know what you think.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: The other thing I want to talk about is like I heard about this ostrich thing going on in Canada.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: Have you heard about that?
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: So there's an ostrich farm in Canada that has currently 400 ostriches.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_00: They had more than that.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: I I guess they had about 500.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: And uh they use them for testing, you know, I guess certain oh crap, I read it.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Here, let me just pull it up.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: Let me see if I can find something.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'll read here about it in a little background.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Nearly, so anyway, I'm trying to do like a briefing and then I'll read it.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: But so they do like some not testing, like you know, they do testing like perfumes and stuff like that.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're actually trying to do studies, that's a better word, on like bird flus and this and that, and then plus not on all of them, I don't think.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think you know, the ostrich farm they can use uh don't people eat ostriches and I know they got massive eggs too.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever seen my my parent just on this little caveat?
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_00: My uh my mom, she used to have emus, which are kind of like ostriches, but they're smaller, and they they walk around and they make this weird noise that sounds like an like a quad four-wheeler idling.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: They kind of make that noise in there.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: But they would lay these eggs that were massive, you know?
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I remember the first time I saw it, we went went there to visit my mom and her husband at the time, and and so we're walking around, he's like, Hey, let's look for some ostrich eggs, right?
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, okay, walking around, and he's like, Oh, here's one, he gets one, and it's just like this crazy blue, green, sparkly thing.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: I thought it was fake.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, whatever, dude.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: I thought like he he found something or did oh, look at this ostrich egg, you know.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, No, this is it.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_00: I I didn't believe him for a minute, but but yeah, that's what they look like.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: They're just crazy looking eggs.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: And we cracked one open and made some you know, an omelet out of it, and it was like just massive.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: It was crazy.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: It was like six chicken eggs in one, or even more than that, maybe.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: But the the egg is really dense, like really hard, not or the eggshell is really tough.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: We used to have one because I remember I drilled the hole and you know, let the egg come out, keep the egg, and we had it for a long time, but I don't know what happened to it, actually.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: I just thought about that.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so in this farm, they the they had some ostriches that died because they got six.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: They got a type of like chicken bird flu.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's called something, I think I'll read it here.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: And so they like 40 of them died or something like that.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: They separated them, and but this was like a year ago.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now, suddenly the Canadian government and they're equivalent to America's FDA or whatever, want to cull but murder the 400 ostriches, you know.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: And okay, that's all I'm gonna say.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: So there's like this big deal about it, they're trying to stop it, and of course, you know, the the farm, the farmers, you know, that's their livelihood, right?
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: But let's see, I did I pulled up some articles.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: I guess that's the first one.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I pulled up three articles.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: They all I think I have them up because they're all out say a little something different.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so here's a picture of the owner.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: Says Karen Esperson, the co-owner of Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, British Columbia, celebrates with her family after learning a stay order was granted by the Supreme Court of Canada on Wednesday, delaying the coal or killing of 400 of the killing of 400 of the farm's ostriches.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: So nearly 400 ostriches on the Universal Ostrich Farm in Northern British Columbia will be spared from a coal killing, while the sub I mean they don't say killing because they call it coal because it's for medical or health reasons or whatever, but I I I call bullshit.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, while the Supreme Court of Canada decides whether to hear the farmer, the farm owners' appeal against the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, so the CFIA, which is like the FDA.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see, so there's a bunch of people there, there's lots of things going on over there, so it's like a big deal over there.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, you got people protesting and whatever, and they're all happy.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then so here's a quote from the owners like our lawyer called the Supreme Court of Canada has granted us an interim stay.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: She posted on Facebook.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: The owners have been fighting the coal order, prompted by an outbreak of avian vian.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: Avian.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: A V-I-A-N.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's avian.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: Avian influenza on the farm in December of 2024.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: It killed oh 69 of their ostriches.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: So the CFIA's response was to mandate a coal of the entire flock to prevent the spread of the virus.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: But this happened almost a year ago.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: And they're just now.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I guess this has been kind of going on for a couple weeks or whatever, but so it's kind of weird, right?
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: The agency said that the remaining ostriches may not show signs of the disease, but they could still be shedding the virus or be the source of further spread of infection to people, livestock, and wildlife.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: In 2024, it received 526 and only granted 30.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, what?
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: I missed something.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, this is talking about the court system.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: Talking about the appeals and stuff.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: What happened to the birds if the farmer's appeal fails?
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they'll get killed or cold or whatever.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, the SCC stay came.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: So the court, you know, the Supreme Canadian court stay came a day after Pasatini and her mother Karen, co-owner of the farm, were arrested for refusing to leave the bird pen.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: They were later released.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: In a statement, yeah, they're not they're not allowed on the farm.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: All their cameras have been shut off, so they can't even see if they're feeding the animals or they're killing them already.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: They have no idea, you know.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: The CFIA served a warrant on the owners, told them to leave, or they would be arrested.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: See, the ongoing battle to save the birds from slaughter has garnered widespread interest, including a battle through the court system, obviously.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: Protests and attention from prominent figures in the US, such as Secretary for Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: What is going on with my computer?
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's like did the screensaver thing and it's not undoing it.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Hello! I hate Apple, man.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: Apple products suck.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: What the crap?
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: What is going on?
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: What is going on?
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: This was kind of like my light.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: This was my my my what do you call it?
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Q, my my whatever light that people use for recording stuff for social.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: There we go.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Holy shit.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: What the crap, man?
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: I hate Apple products.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_00: Apple sucks.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I got nothing but Apple cramp.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: I hate it though, man.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_00: My wife.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_00: Every time I'm like, you know what?
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's let's ditch Apple.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then when she has to get a new phone, she gets another freaking apple.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_00: Which then means that I end up having to get it.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: And then doing it's it's so much easier to have.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_00: If you have an iPhone, if you have anything Apple, it's better to have all Apple stuff, you know?
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_00: It just sucks.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: I hate Apple.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, the farmer's court battle began last spring.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: So last spring, this is when this all started, the courts, that the courts that resolve legal issues, whatever.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: The court upheld, the coal order made, deeming it necessary measure in the ongoing battle against the avian flu.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: The farm then appealed.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: FC wrote in its decision that it recognized it might lead to the death of over 400 hostages owned by the appellate.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: An outcome that would doubtless be difficult both financially and emotionally, no shit.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_00: But the law we are bound to apply inevitably leads to the conclusion that this must be this appeal must be dismissed.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm getting I don't care about the details of the court proceedings.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see, I'm trying to see trying to skim over it.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: This is going into let's see, it's kind of a lot of bullshit.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I was gonna talk about what else they do.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: Let me let me see what this one is.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is this this is the last one I wanted to read.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Man, gosh.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: Alright.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: Hundreds of ostras, yeah, granted estate.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_00: Australia's garden international attention, support from Rav Kennedy Jr.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_00: already said that.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_00: Television personality, Mehemet Oz.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_00: Who's that?
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: Now the administrator for the Center of Medicare and Medical Services.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: The birds have not been t yeah, okay, so this is the other thing, which it didn't seem in the last one.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: So the owners were like, okay, yeah, they may or may not, but like, why not test them again?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: And they won't test them again.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like, well, they could still be carrying it or whatever, but it's like, okay, well, you just you how are ostriches I don't know, because I guess, you know, I'm not I'm not a wildlife disease expert, but it seems like most of these other people aren't either.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: But so I guess the ostriches initially got the flu from wild ducks that flew in, hung out in the pond, shit in the pond, right?
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: And the ostriches drank out of the pond.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: And but so they drained that pond to stop that from happening.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: They separated the sick ones, and I think the ones that were sick died, but then you know that was a year ago.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: So what's the problem?
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: The birds have not been tested in almost 10 months since two of them tested positive, so it was only two of them, for the avian flu, and roughly 10% of the flock died.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: The farmers have waged a high-profile social media campaign attracting supporters, some with anti-government views.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: Dozens of RCM RCMP officers have been at the farm since Monday to assist CFIA workers.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, see this, see high-profile social media campaign.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is why the government wants to minimize your social media.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is why you can't say whatever you want.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is why people in England are getting arrested.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right now it's because they're saying, I don't like trans.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_00: But this is more control for the government to because look how many times things have been put out or information has gotten out, and people have questions, and and the government's been vilified, and you know, all this stuff because of social media.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's why they want to, you know, contain and get people off of social media that are anti-government, quote unquote, right?
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: Supporters responded with cheer.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_00: The CFI issued a statement Wednesday evening that it will take care of the birds as it files its response to the farmers' appeal application as soon as possible.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_00: It also warned the public not to try to enter the cordon off areas of the farm.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: Supposedly they're not feeding them like they're supposed to.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: The farmers, the owners, are trying to tell them how to do it, and they're not really, you know, they're probably hoping that some will die.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: Supposedly they're like putting they're stressing out the birds with like drones and some shit.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: I that that could be all bullshit, but it just seems like they're-I don't know.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know why they would why would they do that though?
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_00: Trying to get them to just die from shock, I guess.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_00: And the farm's application for leave to appeal earlier court decisions, approving the destruction of the birds, they argue their ostriches have all recovered from last year's outbreak and pose net net negligible risk to nearby wild animals or other livestock, which I would, yeah.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_00: The you know, the ones that died died and they separate whatever, but it's like that was a year ago.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_00: Why are they so concerned?
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_00: Put a pin in that.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: Why are they so concerned about these ostriches that maybe they did have the virus, but you know, they were able to not get sick and die.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: From it, and that was a year ago.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: Why are they so why are they so concerned?
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, they say in their application they have since drained the pond, believed to have drawn the wild ducks.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I talked about earlier.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: That brought the virus onto the property.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: The CFIA must file its response to the Supreme Court October 3rd, and the farmers will have a further two days to complete their response to the government's arguments.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_00: Man, the decision by the Supreme Court to grant the state does not mean the justice will hear the farmer's case.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: The justice, the justices, see, they're probably gonna, because now everybody's hearing about it.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I think it's gonna work out for the best.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: But see, this is why the government wants to control social media, man.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: The justices typically take one to three months to decide on whether such an appeal will be heard, but they don't give their reason.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: Why is he talking so much about the justice?
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like the I don't, you know, I'm just trying to let's see.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: Blah blah blah blah.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's see.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: Last year the courts agreed to hear okay, see the same thing, man.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: Guys, it's like it's like AI writes one article and then a bunch of a bunch of different news things just use that same one.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see, so the RCMP, which have repeatedly pointed out that they are only there to facilitate the work of the inspection agency, said protesters have been peaceful.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: But they issued a news release Wednesday saying that they were investigating a suspicious fire started before dawn that morning.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, so there was a crazy fire that started.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_00: To me, somebody who's protesting the ostriches would not start a fire.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_00: Someone had set fire to some of the hundreds of hay bales stacked into makeshift pens on the farm, Mounty said.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they're just trying to cause problems for the agency that's there.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_00: Spokeswoman for the farm who had briefly was arrested Tuesday with her mother, told the Globe that Globe and Mail that she and her mother and the other co-owner, Dave Belinski, are still barred from feeding the animals.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're trying to work with the CIFA to get them to do a better job of it.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: She alleges that that all the camera feeds to the pastures have been cut, so they don't know whether the animals are eating.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: They are trying to convince CIFA agents to stop throwing feed on the ground and to put it in buckets, because that's how they've been feeding them for decades.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_00: So it's just kind of some weird stuff, right?
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: So why are they so concerned?
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like, why is it such a big deal?
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I could understand if it was just happening and they had birds dying and they didn't know whatever, and they couldn't figure it out, and what's what's causing it?
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_00: Who's sick, whatever this and that?
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: We just gotta kill them all to stop it.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that would make sense, right?
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_00: But that was a year ago.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: 70 died, the rest are thriving, right?
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: So here's here's the conspiracy theory of why they think the government wants to coal or kill these ostriches.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's because of dun dun dun, big pharma, right?
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_00: They want to kill the ostriches because they have antibodies against COVID.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: And they don't want that to get out because then that's gonna cost Big Pharma a bunch of money.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, Edgewood, British Columbia, a rural ostrich farm conducting cutting-edge virus research, is at the center of a growing controversy and what many are calling a government outreach that may be protecting corporate interests and not public health.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: Which makes sense because, like I said, it's not just happening now.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_00: They they know what it is, they know what it was.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_00: The animals that got infected are gone.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_00: And this was a year ago, you know.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_00: So obviously, they're not sick.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_00: Universal Ostrich Farm run by so and okay, I'll just say whatever, run by Karen Esperson and Dave Belinski, has been working with Japanese scientist Dr.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yushirio Tsuka I'm not gonna try to develop low-cost egg-derived antibodies shown to neutralize COVID-19 and avian flu strains.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: Their innovation antibodies produced in ostrich eggs could offer an affordable alternative to big pharmaceutical products.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_00: This is just like the guy who makes like the car that runs off hydrogen, you know, and they murder him.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same shit.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_00: But now the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has ordered the destruction of their 400 bird flock after positive tests for a valiant flu were reported months ago.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_00: The farmers say their birds are now healthy, and no new cases have been recorded since.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, how it said in the other article that like some people over here, like Robert F.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_00: Kennedy Jr.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_00: and stuff, are showing interest.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_00: They've offered to take the birds, but they're like, nope.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_00: Supporters are pushing back hard.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_00: The regional district of Central Koutenay has refused to accept the carcasses at local landfills without up-to-date infection confirmation.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: Just burn them.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_00: Even conservative MP Scott Anderson has publicly opposed the coal, warning that vital medical research is at risk of being shut down under suspicious circumstances.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't about biosecurity anymore.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's about silencing innovation that threatens entrenched interests.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: The CIFA insists it's acting on public safety.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_00: Bullshit! But with no active outbreak and no new testing, questions are mounting.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: Is this a reasonable precaution or a calculated move to crush independent medical research that could disrupt billion-dollar markets?
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's what it is right there.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's bullshit.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_00: See, this is the kind of crap, dude.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when you're young and you're and you're distracted by movies and music and going to concerts and all this crap, you don't pay attention to what's going on in the government.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: But then when you get older and you don't give a shit about all that stupid shit, you start seeing just, you know, how horrible just all government, every country, all the governments in every country is just shit.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know how people used to say, like, the lawyers are the worst, dude.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_00: Politicians are the bottom.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_00: I cannot stand politicians.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_00: I hate them.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: I hate them all.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_00: Love thy neighbor.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_00: Unless they're a politician.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's just insane.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's just kind of crap right here, though, you know?
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_00: They make you think that they're helping you.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like that Ronald Reagan, you know.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_00: The worst things you can ever hear is like, we're here from the government, we're here to help.
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, no, you're not.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_00: You never are.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's ridiculous.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: But that's all.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to kind of share that.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's been 40 minutes.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: I might have to try and edit a little bit out at the beginning of my podcast or something, because this is 40 minutes is long.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, let me know what you think.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know if you've heard about this.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_00: Look into it.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_00: Share some support, especially if you're in Canada.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_00: Canada, eh?
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: And uh thanks for hanging out.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you guys next time.
