YouTuber, comedian, musician, skateboarder and about 1,000 other things, Danny Mullen champions himself as “being good at a little bit of everything.”

Starting out with crude questions in 'man-on-the-street' interviews on his channel, Mullen's content has evolved to cross-country treks that explore untapped corners of the United States, revealing everything from gum-covered alleyways to Thanksgiving celebrations at random family get-togethers.

Mullen has become incredibly culturally relevant with appearances in the massively popular NELK videos, as a recurring “bull*****er” role such as a fake FBI agent or drunken pilot.

His commentary has landed him in hot water, if you consider a Change.org petition against him particularly relevant. Mullen was accused of being 'fat phobic' for a comedic rant on a podcast he made that upset a cancel-culture hungry group.

“There are tiers of cancellation... fat shaming is way down the list,” Mullen explained while remarking it as his “worst cancellation ever.”

Mullen answers every question about his videos, from his interactions with Juan Mendoza from Rebel News to pretending to be professional baseball or hockey players with fellow personality Leandro Dottavio.

GUEST HOST: Sheila Gunn Reid

Is the “painful” inflation rate, which crept up over 8% last month for the first time in 40 years, an accident or by design?

SHEILA GUNN REID | Tom Harris on whether Conservatives are ceding too much to the environmentalist left

Are Conservatives conceding too much territory to the environmentalist left when they adopt their language to discuss climate change?

The city council in the most conservative place in the country, Calgary, under the direction of new progressive mayor Jyoti Gondek, has just adopted a net-zero climate scheme that will cost the next two generations of Calgary residents 87 billion dollars to implement fully. The plan stems from an earlier, non-binding resolution to declare a climate emergency in Cowtown.

Something similar happened on a federal level a few years. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer whipped his caucus to agree to a non-binding motion to support the United Nation's climate change agreement. It was very soon that the targets in that agreement were written into a trade agreement with the EU, CETA. And the vote by the Conservatives to support the Liberal motion has been used by the Liberals as a cudgel against any Conservative that dares to differ on the issue of climate change ever since.

This is why even conceding language, phrases to the left and agreeing to non-binding virtue signalling announcements is a bad idea that leads to worse ones.

My guest tonight recently penned an op-ed in the National Post chiding the Conservatives for adopting Liberal talking points and suggesting that Conservatives must seize the opportunity of their leadership election to reset their communication strategy on climate change.

But will they? Or are they too scared of CBC to do what they know the grassroots want?

Joining me tonight to discuss this issue and the farmer's rebellion in the Netherlands is Tom Harris from the International Climate Science Coalition Canada.
