Why Doesn’t Canada Have One Leg Up On These Wildfires? · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Yes, So I have some news for you here on the Alex Garrett Podcast
• 0:24
  Network. Tomorrow. I am helping engineer the Joe Piscobo Show, So I'm
• 0:29
  setting up my set list for tomorrow. You know, I love to come
• 0:32
  out with some songs and of course smoky smoke on the water light, my
• 0:38
  fire, anything related to this wildfire nonsense. You might just hear it on
• 0:43
  the Joe Piscobo Show tomorrow morning six to ten am. Of course you're not
• 0:46
  listening for me, you're listening for Joe. I get it. But I
• 0:49
  have a few music musical ideas, so tune in for that. But seriously,
• 0:54
  I ventured out today with no mask because I wanted to face down this
• 0:59
  wildfire haze. And if I went out into blaze, so be it right.
• 1:03
  I could go on and on, But the pictures I took were not
• 1:07
  really filtered sapia at all. That was if you look at Alex g NYC
• 1:11
  one, that was the Brooklyn Bridge in that very moment, looking all like
• 1:17
  it was in the nineteen forties or fifties. Again, that's what it looked
• 1:19
  like in twenty twenty three. For real. My iPhone didn't filter it.
• 1:25
  I didn't put any filters in it in the pictures app I just posted as
• 1:29
  is and that was really, that was really what it looks like. You
• 1:34
  know, my dad told me about the dust Bowl in nineteen thirty, in
• 1:38
  the nineteen thirties, and because he was alive for that, Well, what
• 1:42
  am I gonna tell my future kids? Uh? Yeah, kids, We
• 1:46
  survived a whole ass wildfire haze after Matth in New York City that completely blanketed
• 1:52
  our town, made it hard to breathe, and oh, by the way,
• 1:55
  was never controlled. Where were the pictures of the wildfires being fought right
• 2:01
  now in Canada? Very few? In fact, hilariously and maybe sadly,
• 2:08
  Reuters could only come up with one photo and one video of one fire truck
• 2:14
  fighting one part of the wildfire in Quebec and Ontario. This isn't real life.
• 2:20
  This doesn't feel like real life. I mean, what is the idea?
• 2:23
  What is going on? How does the smoke go from all the way
• 2:29
  in Canada down to New York? It just nothing of this makes sense.
• 2:34
  We're really hoping for some wind to hit in. I don't know if we're
• 2:37
  gonna get some rain or not, but definitely some wind will be nice to
• 2:42
  blow away this thing. And the New York City mayor is saying, well,
• 2:49
  the advisories are here, the advisories are here. Quite frankly, air
• 2:53
  quality air advisories don't mean crap if nothing is contained in Canada. Frankly,
• 3:00
  the quality air advisories may be effective, but really, these guys in New
• 3:06
  York have no idea whether the wind's gonna push out this fog, this haze,
• 3:10
  this smoke on the water, see that. No one smoke on the
• 3:15
  water by deep color purple. Gotta love that song. You can't make it
• 3:20
  up. You cannot make up going to the East River like I did,
• 3:23
  and everything was literally yellow. It was like we took twenty twenty three pictures
• 3:29
  and put it in the nineteen forties nineteen fifties color. It was surreal and
• 3:37
  it was kind of scary, unfortunately, being down in that area in nine
• 3:42
  to eleven. By nine to eleven, you know, people are saying,
• 3:45
  this is like nine to eleven, and when you look at photos that day,
• 3:50
  in pictures that day, that smoke is horrendous. But I don't like
• 3:55
  those comparisons. I really don't. Thankfully, no one has died from these
• 4:01
  smoke inhalations. If you will. That's what it is. It's smoke inhalation.
• 4:08
  It's secondhand smoke in a sense that we're dealing with. What will come
• 4:14
  out of this, we don't know. But what I'm more scared about is
• 4:18
  that it hasn't been contained. What I'm more scared about is there's no answers.
• 4:23
  What I'm more scared about is that President Biden hasn't addressed the nation on
• 4:26
  how they're going to try and fight this thing. What I'm more scared about
• 4:30
  is that they don't care in Washington if our whole northeast is engulfed in this
• 4:38
  blanketed haze. That's what I'm scared about. And the question would be why.
• 4:46
  Already we've seen two games canceled Yankees game, and I believe the Philly's
• 4:55
  down in Philly had cancelations to the smoke overtake the stadiums doublehead or tomorrow.
• 5:01
  But I think, how do they know that there's gonna be a game on
• 5:04
  tomorrow? How do we know that smoke's not going to clear out again?
• 5:08
  They're saying eleven fifty nine Eastern Time Thursday. This thing could be for a
• 5:12
  while, and I don't want to wear my tinfoil hat. But I have
• 5:17
  to get this out there. What if this was just not contained on purpose?
• 5:25
  What if they're activists out there saying, let's show the world. Remember
• 5:29
  they've gone to really historic places and screwed it up, vandalized it in the
• 5:34
  name of climate activism. I don't know. After this pandemic, I don't
• 5:40
  rule anything out. I don't rule out the fact that lockdowns could be coming
• 5:44
  because of this, that mask mandates could be coming because of this, And
• 5:49
  I wouldn't rule out I know. Maybe I sound a bit like qan On.
• 5:54
  I don't know, but I wouldn't rule out. In a week or
• 5:58
  so, remember this happen and a week after President Buying fell at the graduation
• 6:03
  of the US Air Force. I want to say, after that fall,
• 6:10
  what if they said, oh, a wildfire has had smoke leak into the
• 6:16
  northeast has blanketed Washington. President Biden sick with pneumonia or something sick with I
• 6:30
  don't know, lung, something with the lungs. Because of this, they
• 6:38
  do not want president by in twenty twenty four, and they being external forces
• 6:43
  we can't even know about, or we don't even know about, So I
• 6:47
  would not be surprised if a week from now, a week from now,
• 6:54
  there's an announcement President Biden has become unable to continue his duties as president because
• 7:02
  of the smoking elation from the haze, and then they blame Canada, of
• 7:06
  course, but it has to make you wonder. I don't remember wildfires well.
• 7:15
  Firstly in Canada that never happened. Secondly, I've never remembered it ever
• 7:23
  traveling across the country from Cana from California. So why from this? What
• 7:30
  is the difference is? What is about this thing? Why are there no
• 7:34
  footages of airplanes dousing the wildfire like there normally is in California. We see
• 7:41
  that, we see the California wildfires be watered down by overhead airplanes and helicopters.
• 7:49
  I'm not seeing any footage of that. Are you in the Canadian wildfires?
• 7:56
  So what if this is a case of let's just let it happen and
• 7:59
  see what happened. A lot of people and myself included, hated when President
• 8:05
  Trump said let's let COVID wash over the entire country. Well, I would
• 8:11
  say, by in action and not pushing Trudeau to do anything about these fires,
• 8:18
  we're saying let's let this smoke wash over the cities and cause chaos.
• 8:26
  Oh, maybe we'll even stick migrants that have coming here illegally in the apartments
• 8:31
  and the private houses while we distract people with this haze. Maybe we are
• 8:35
  literally in a haze, and this is the real life metaphor to show us.
• 8:41
  And now that we're in a literal haze with no feeling, we're going
• 8:46
  to snap out of this. This is the perfect time to strike, to
• 8:52
  bring a lot more people across the border, to put people in Gracie Mansion,
• 8:56
  the People's home in New York City, and for other things to happen
• 9:01
  that we don't know about. But my number one question, and no one
• 9:07
  has asked this, have you heard about this? I haven't heard about this.
• 9:11
  No one's asked, Hey, Canada, why haven't you contained the fires?
• 9:16
  Why is only one footage of a fire truck, of a solo fire
• 9:20
  truck putting out one sector of this fire. And no, I don't want
• 9:28
  New York City to be the most polluted, but I hate the fact that
• 9:31
  now people are blaming us. Oh New York City is now the most polluted.
• 9:35
  Well, that's not our fault. Blame Canada. How about that?
• 9:41
  Yeah, I'm gonna keep going with these little digs. One other thing I
• 9:48
  will know this, the Canadian moose can handle these things better than our American
• 9:52
  moose. Okay, and I love Tim Horton's as much as the next person.
• 9:58
  But until Canada writes the ship on this and extinguishes the fires which may
• 10:03
  still be blazing, I don't know. I haven't learning the news updates on
• 10:05
  it. All I heard were stats that there were like two hundred ten fires,
• 10:11
  two hundred eleven fires a blaze right now. I know Joe Piscoball will
• 10:18
  talk about it tomorrow. I might jump out in the air with him.
• 10:20
  We'll have to see. But for now, for now, I also think
• 10:24
  this is God being very upset that someone named Billy Joel. You know that
• 10:33
  guy named Billy Joel is not going to be performing after twenty twenty four.
• 10:39
  But see, in my view, in my view, as as the great
• 10:46
  Billy Joel would sing time and time again. Please do not blame New York
• 10:52
  because quite frankly, no, we didn't. At least I hope Canada tries
• 11:18
  to fight it. But for those saying, oh, now New York's more
• 11:22
  polluted than India and China combined. We didn't start this, we didn't ask
• 11:26
  for this, we did not want any part of this. So do not
• 11:31
  look to us as the reason why Canada is up in flames right now.
• 11:37
  God dang it, God bless you. Stay safe. I didn't want to
• 11:41
  get to a couple of things before I wrap up. I'm just so fired
• 11:45
  up. But there's an article by David Knowles of Yahoo News, and what
• 11:54
  I will tell you is this, check your mental health. Did you know
• 11:58
  that on the West Coast wildfires cause forty five point three percent of reported anxiety
• 12:05
  due to the smoke. We're not used to this. Imagine how many people
• 12:09
  are freaked out now. So check your mental health during all of this.
• 12:15
  And I think most importantly, most importantly, if you're going to stay indoors,
• 12:22
  obviously, don't open up your windows, blast your air conditioners. And
• 12:31
  if you're inside, don't wear a mask. If you're outside, and I'm
• 12:35
  underlying conditions, I guess you'll have to. But I also think we can't
• 12:41
  be afraid of this either. On that note, I'm Alex Scarrett trying not
• 12:46
  to make sure this podcast goes up and flames, along with everything else in
• 12:50
  this world. Have a great night. Everybody
