In this episode, Andrew and Lincoln talk about the Trudeau government's plan to increase immigration to 500,000 people per year by 2025, and whether or not they think that's sustainable in the long-term. They also discuss the impact of immigration on the housing crisis, and the potential benefits immigrants can bring to Canada.
00:00:00.000Hey guys, Andrew here back on another university campus, undercover with Lincoln Jay.
00:00:04.520I mean, I'm basically wearing all of his clothes except for this shirt.
00:00:06.960We're at University of Toronto Scarborough to ask people a tough question today.
00:00:10.820As a big immigrant population in this area, Justin Trudeau has announced that they're going to increase immigration numbers to 500,000 people per year by 2025.
00:00:19.380A tough question, but we're going to see what people think. Let's go.
00:00:21.840Yesterday, the government announced their increasing immigration levels to 500,000 people per year, starting in 2025.
00:00:33.180And we're asking people, given the rent prices, the housing prices, the cost of living, if you think that's a sustainable number moving forward.
00:00:42.580I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this.
00:00:44.660I think it's okay, because, I mean, describing immigrants, I mean, people coming in, right, into the country.
00:00:53.200And, I mean, Canada offers many chances to many people across the world, so it's to help many people actually, you know, like, get, to help them be, I don't know how to explain it, but it's to help them, it's to help many people.
00:01:07.760I feel like there are, like, both pros and cons, because, like, for, like, original population, it's not that many for Canada, right?
00:01:16.760But also, I feel like it should be increased for, like, the standard for entering Canada should be higher a bit more.
00:01:24.000So, people entering, like, their immigration, they will be, like, higher educated.
00:01:28.960Yeah, I don't want too many immigrants either.
00:01:31.220I feel like we should actually focus on the housing crisis and decreasing interest rates, because adding more immigrants is just going to lead to an inflation, and more houses are going to be bought up, and that's just going to continue the, like, downward slope that we're headed on.
00:01:47.860It may seem unsustainable in the sense where, you know, there are so many people coming in, and there's still a lot of domestic issues which remain unresolved.
00:01:55.040But with that said, I think that, you know, we can't just look at people as individuals, but we have to look at them as potential, and I think that everyone that comes in, regardless of where they're from or what experience they've had in the past, they have the potential to contribute to Canada economically, socially, as well as politically, and I think that that is extremely valuable, and that's something that's very hard to quantify in terms of how it would impact the country.
00:02:20.460And I think that it's very, it's a very tough thing to say whether or not it's right or wrong to allow people in, but I think that we should never neglect the possibilities that these people can bring in a lot of, you know, new insight and also innovation to a country which, you know, largely needs it just because of how it's still a relatively new country, and there's still, you know, a lot of issues which remain unresolved, like I said.
00:02:43.980And the fact that they remain unresolved might just be an indication that the domestic input isn't sufficient, that we actually really need international input, and we need international suggestions.
00:02:51.680That was a whole lot of jargon. I think that we have proved that through the gigantic increase in immigration that it is not sustainable. That's just my opinion. You look at the housing prices, you look at the wages, you look at rent, and they're unattainable for most people. Now, you can blame inflation, but the simple fact that there aren't enough houses to bring the housing costs down, I think is a product of having too many people of any background or origin.
00:03:19.140Actually, I'm not too sure about, like, because I'm also an international student, so my view would be like, yeah, more people should come.
00:03:27.240Now, Lincoln, no, no limits. Now, this is some pretty positive engineering advertising. I think this is the first campus we've been on so far, like six now, where everything isn't plastered in pride stuff and diversity stuff.
00:03:39.840This seems to be a business school with a lot of smart people in it, and I've yet to see anything related to pride or diversity things or about how native everything is or needs to be, frankly.
00:03:52.740I mean, we're at a point where they're going to keep bringing, I mean, people are going to keep immigrating, but that's not going to, I don't think that'll change anything.
00:04:01.840It's just they need to start dealing with things at a fundamental level, like looking at, you know, the fact that wages aren't at the right place, the fact that housing is still astronomically high, everything.
00:04:15.900Immigrants, I don't think, immigrants, I don't think are the main concern, and I don't think that's going to change anything.
00:04:22.040They can bring in as many people as they want. People are still going to still immigrate. They're not dealing with the core fundamental issues. It doesn't matter how many people come into Canada.
00:04:31.280I don't think, I don't really have an opinion because I don't live here, but I suppose if the government gives opportunity for people from other countries, but in an environment of clear rules, I think it's okay.
00:04:47.880I'm not sure. I don't know that much about politics, to be honest, but I feel like, you know, like she said, there's a lot of people who want to be here.
00:04:54.080There's a lot of people who need to be here, but I agree, too, that, like, it's not possible to bring in so many people at all times. You have to balance things out.
00:05:03.480So we just talked to one guy, one bro, even, who didn't want to be on camera, and he says, he agrees that it's not sustainable, or he says it's not sustainable, but he thinks, due to our declining native population, we need to, you know, increase immigration for that reason, because the native population is shrinking.
00:05:19.200I would argue and posit, Lincoln, that at some point, we should try just taking in less people and seeing if that works, because what we're doing right now, I don't believe is sustainable.
00:05:28.980Housing prices, job market, inflation, everything keeps going up, up, and up. Thank you, Justin Trudeau. I think we should try something else.
00:05:36.580How is your cost of living situation? Is it easy to afford a place right here?
00:05:45.160Like, I live in a basement, and it's really expensive, and it's, like, completely unreasonable, but I don't think that the people immigrating here should be, like, shut out for that reason.
00:05:55.900For my country, it's high. Yeah, it's expensive. Considering my country's standard, it's expensive, right? Yeah.
00:06:02.480It's definitely more expensive than what it seems to be, so it would be hard, but I feel like once you get your feet beneath you and you have a good-paying job, then you could definitely afford a nice place of your own.
00:06:16.180The rent is very challenging, especially to find something that's, you know, within reason, but I think at the end of the day, like I said, it's very hard to know how this policy is going to impact Canada and the Canadian, you know, housing situation as well as economy until there is some data available, which means that people have to come in first.
00:06:37.780This is the first social justice-y thing we've seen on campus, and it's just about mental health, so I don't have a problem with that, but I want to reiterate here that we've been to Trent, U of T, downtown Toronto, Ontario University, Durham College, tons of places, and this is the only campus where they're not shoving things down your throat, and I kind of like it, Lincoln.
00:06:57.480So America, 350-ish million people, they let in 1 million legal immigrants a year. Canada, around 37 million, and we're going to let in half a million a year.
00:07:07.840Do you feel like constantly increasing the amount of people here is going to cause prices to go up, or what we're hearing from other people is that they need to address the problems that are going on here, regardless of how many people are coming in, how many houses are available, the types of jobs that are available, how do you feel about that?
00:07:23.820I mean, I agree, I think that that's a problem that needs to be solved either way, right? So it's like, whether or not the immigrants come, it's going to be a problem, now or in the long run, so it's like, if that's what pushes Canada to fix the problem, then so be it.
00:07:42.620Bringing in many people, well, many people can, it's also, I mean, to increase the unemployment rate, obviously, but also if, I mean, many people come in, I mean, new ideas, I mean, new people coming from different countries with new ideas, so new ideas to develop the country and also make it better.
00:08:01.300So I believe that it's a good idea, it's actually a good idea, I mean.
00:08:07.140I wouldn't say it's not sustainable, like, in the long run, but right now we have to focus on our housing and on our own economy, and I feel like taking in too many immigrants is stretching ourselves thin.
00:08:17.260Have you been a fan of Justin Trudeau's governance of the country? Do you think it's him that's the problem? What do you think about that, about in terms of the policies we have right now?
00:08:24.600I really don't think he's just doing anything. He's just kind of sitting there doing nothing, really. I don't think that he's just kind of sitting there buying time, really.
00:08:32.780All right, anything else you want to say?
00:08:36.660I don't know enough to make a judgment as to how he is as a prime minister.
00:08:41.700I'm not really into politics, I won't lie, so maybe it's not, like, super useful for your interview topic.
00:08:46.820Welcome back to another episode of Andrew Says. They're all very special. I'm here with producer Lincoln J, and we've got David Lucas, one of the best comedians in the world right now. How are you, David?
00:09:05.280In the world? I ain't too good because this motherfucker refused to pay me.
00:09:39.440David Lucas loves the idea of a LeBron and James in the WNBA, I think.
00:09:48.660Yeah, I think when he retires and he can no longer fare with those younger NBA guys, he should identify as a woman and go to the WNBA, and he'll be the best player at 50 years old in the WNBA.
00:10:00.180We didn't get that video of you trying out for a women's D1 team that you promised, though, so I still want you to try to do that.
00:10:09.940Oh, yeah, I do it. They ain't gonna let me, bro.
00:10:11.840There was a video that went viral a couple months ago where a guy played for a women's high school rep team and won them a tournament.
00:10:21.060It was pretty spectacular. I forgot the guy's name.
00:10:39.260What was, uh, did you see the one recently where that guy who identified as a woman played volleyball and then knocked the player unconscious?
00:10:49.340Yeah, and then the coach, for safety reasons, sat the rest of the team. I would have did the same thing.
00:10:55.180If my daughter played volleyball and some dude who can't cut it in the men's league go to the women's league, we're talking about high school.
00:11:02.400So if my daughter plays volleyball and some boy who can't cut it, where'd you go?
00:11:08.360I'm still here. We're just giving you the focus.
00:11:11.200Oh, oh, oh, okay, man. I told you I'm not good with technology. I got a producer, man.
00:11:15.260All right, so yeah, if my daughter played volleyball and some boy who couldn't cut it on the boys' team went to the women's team, my daughter would not play.
00:11:25.840She's not playing against that team. You ain't finna bully my daughter or I'ma come bully your ass.
00:11:30.180I think I learned from Shaquille O'Neal that the volleyball nets are lower for women, so he's saying that they should do that for WNBA as well.
00:11:39.140Nine-foot rim. I don't know if that's actually going to solve the problem, though.
00:11:43.740This is, we're building on like 50 years of dunking for men at this point.
00:11:48.680Do you remember Chris Anderson, the bird man?
00:11:54.160Six-foot-eleven white guy, went in the slam dunk competition, and he was just terrible, so that's where you have to build from the ground up no matter what.
00:12:05.840He had like 50 tries, but how's it going recently? Have you been on tour right now? You're coming to Canada, you said?
00:12:11.920Yeah, I'm on tour currently. I just actually got off of the phone with my agent. We're booking out next year. I think I got like seven dates next year.
00:12:22.320I'll be back in Canada. Some lady in Montreal hit me up, wanted to book me for a showcase.
00:12:28.660Nice. This bit, this is how stupid she was. She don't want to book me the headline. She wants to put me on a show with like eight other comics for a week, and then got the nerd to ask me, or ask my agent, does he sell tickets?
00:12:46.040Bitch, you booking eight other comics. Why the fuck does the bulk rely on me?
00:12:51.820Because they want to screw you over, it sounds like.
00:12:54.520Man, I rob all the Montreal motherfuckers, bro. They don't know who they bring to Montreal. I get banned from Canada.
00:13:01.740Fucking with me, though. They must know how America's going to play fair. Y'all think Trudeau is a motherfucker.
00:13:07.140We got hella Trudeau down here in the States. Like, no, come on. You ain't finna make me do a 400-seater venue, and you book all your friends, and then you try to get me $500 a day. You got me fucked up, lady.
00:13:21.200Is that where, because I know some other comedians, they do a showcase to be on Just for Laughs, and there's like a Halifax, Nova Scotia Comedy Festival, too. Would that be what that's for?
00:13:33.960That's the thing. I don't give a damn about Just for Laughs, because, I mean, I'm not being boastful, but I'm pretty sure. I mean, well, I got plenty of friends who did Just for Laughs, and I sell more tickets than all of them.
00:13:44.300They don't even tour. So, I mean, you know, comedy festivals are a thing of the past. You know, you might have got famous from that 15 years ago, but ever since social media, your career is kind of in your own hands.
00:13:58.100They probably don't let people say whatever they want at that as well, I would imagine, because they try to.
00:14:04.220I mean, they had Patrice at JFL. There's a clip of him doing JFL.
00:14:09.080But, I mean, they fired the guy from JFL for saying the word niggas, so I know I can't say what I want to say.
00:14:47.980What did he say, Lincoln? Can you read it word for word?
00:14:50.420Yeah, don't skip out no explicit language. Say the n-word.
00:14:56.120It says that a talented booker behind the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal has resigned after repeatedly using the n-word in front of auditioning comedians.
00:15:07.780This is quote. He said he was just repeating the language of someone he was talking to.
00:15:14.160Exactly. It's not like he hatefully said nigga. He was probably like, if you're going to say the word nigga, just say it.
00:15:24.580That's probably what he said. That's probably what he said.
00:15:27.640You heard that, Lincoln. You're allowed to say the n-word if it's a song, I think is what David Luby is trying to tell us.
00:15:33.020Man, look, I don't care why people say the n-word, dog. Whatever repercussions y'all get is on y'all. Y'all say the n-word at all.
00:15:42.160If you lose your whole family, don't look at me because I'm going to say, yeah, I said he could say it, but we know there's a freedom of speech, but there's not freedom of consequences.
00:15:53.000There's no freedom of speech up here to remind you to be sure.
00:15:57.320Yeah, there's no freedom of speech. That fucking Fidel Castro side baby, Trudeau, was locking y'all bank accounts.
00:16:05.480That's right. That's going on right now, if you didn't know. They're doing this whole commission about the trucker protest, and Trudeau's going to have to testify, I think, in a couple weeks.
00:16:15.080Yeah, bro. So do people up there say that he's Fidel Castro's side?
00:16:22.320That's like a thing, because you could never confirm it, but what's he going to do, sue you over it? So people say it all the time.
00:16:29.420Yeah, allegedly he's Fidel Castro's baby because his mama and daddy were some freaks, and she went to Cuba because Canada has always had a strong relationship with Cuba, and she wanted to get fucked by a dictator.
00:16:42.920Notice the first few letters. Yeah, very good. She wanted that dictator.
00:16:50.840Do you care about the midterms coming up? Are you going to vote in the governor's race there?
00:16:58.720Man, I don't really care about nothing, but...
00:17:03.440I already paid attention. It was November the 8th, right?
00:17:28.020Enough people haven't moved to Texas to change Texas, thank God.
00:17:32.020That's what they say their stated goal is. First, we're going to turn it purple, then we're going to turn it blue, and then I guess just...
00:17:41.020Bro, it's too many, it's too many, it's too many rednecks and hillbillies in Texas. They will, they will go out and start shooting everybody who drives a Prius, I guarantee you.
00:17:50.280Do you live in Austin, or do you live in one of these, uh, like, towns just outside of Austin, or the Dallas-Fort Worth?
00:17:58.520That's for poor people, bro. I live in Austin. I live downtown Austin.
00:18:45.520Yeah, so at first, you know, just to get the ball rolling so people would just see my face, I was doing, like, you know, six to eight videos a week because my thing was one of these is going to hit.
00:19:00.020Um, I hired a producer, Brian, great guy out of Virginia.
00:19:05.640Um, we put a viral, we put a clip up with me going back and forth with a BLM person.
00:19:13.640Our first week together, we went viral.
00:19:16.640Uh, and then after that, it was kind of, you know, uh, uphill, uphill and downhill.
00:19:21.180I mean, it's still, it's still uphill, bro, because, I mean, sometimes I'll put out a video and only gets 4,000 views, which I'm like, damn, like, I have 80,000 followers on Instagram, and, you know, um, a bad video for me is 10,000 views.
00:19:40.120So, like, I really, I really don't understand YouTube like that, because I'm like, how do I have 100,000 subscribers and a video do fourth, like, out of, like, that don't even equate statistically.
00:19:49.760Like, how is there only 4,000 views on this video?
00:19:53.060But, um, it's just, you know, um, staying consistent, putting stuff out, uh, being in Texas and being on Kill Tony definitely helps.
00:20:02.660Um, yeah, it's just, I don't put as much as I used to out because I'm way more busy, but I'm trying to get back to that.
00:20:09.560But, uh, I put my long form podcast on there and I continue to put my clips up.
00:20:14.020Um, and as I'm on tour, I got to find somebody to actually film me while I'm in Canada because I want to put, uh, some, uh, crowd work from Canada on my YouTube.
00:20:25.000We can try to send somebody from Alberta out to terrible Winnipeg.
00:20:29.300Oh, I mean, the good thing is they put me in a five-star hotel.
00:20:58.380What makes it so natural, or we could use the word easy, for you and Tony to go back and forth roasting each other?
00:21:05.840Because I know you guys aren't sitting there preparing due to the nature of the show.
00:21:12.020What, why does it come so easy to you guys, or just you, if you don't know his thought process there?
00:21:17.460I think, um, I think because over the years that I've been on Kill Tony, me and Tony have really just developed a brotherhood and, um, kind of like, you know, I'd say, like, he's one of my best friends.
00:21:29.920Um, so just that mixed with we're not roasting each other maliciously, and it's kind of like, you know, like, two great basketball players playing one-on-one.
00:21:41.700Like, we play each other very good, but no matter who wins, we both know that we're still at the top.
00:21:47.600So, um, you know, like, just roasting him is, like, I feel like we need a damn TV show together, just our, just the way we mix so well, and we're, we're total opposites, uh, you know, in most other aspects of life.
00:22:02.400And, uh, I think that just calls for good roasting.
00:22:05.760I think, I'm, I don't think I'm alone in this.
00:22:08.540Sometimes when I watched Kill Tony and I don't want to watch the whole thing, I'll skip to your part and William Montgomery's part.
00:22:16.360I think those are the two overwhelmingly money-making parts of the show.
00:22:21.900And I think that's, people will go and search for that on the, the, or whatever you do.
00:22:27.860Um, yeah, I can, uh, I can definitely see that because, um, I say, um, the talent pool in Austin is just not there.
00:22:39.460Um, the sustainability for, you know, good comics, like, uh, you know, like, I feel like the more Austin gets stuff, the more consequences they'll have because there's not many consequences in Austin.
00:22:53.840Like, there's, there's no reason for these comics to do better.
00:22:57.400Like, when I was starting comedy in LA, bro, like, if you went to the comedy store and bombed, don't go back for, like, two years.
00:23:05.440And that goes pretty much, that was pretty much any comedy club.
00:23:09.240Like, you, you get that opportunity and then you don't capitalize on it and you do bad.
00:23:13.480Like, yo, as, you, you might as well just go back home for two years, get funny and come back because there were too many people there trying to make it into, you know, very few spots.
00:23:24.260So, people in LA, I feel, and New York, New York is, I feel like they get better because of the, the, the repetition.
00:23:32.780Like, when I was in New York, I was doing four or five shows a night.
00:23:35.080But in LA, we have such limited spots.
00:23:37.560And at the comedy store, you know, for potluck, you only get three minutes.
00:23:41.500So, you want to go up there and murder.
00:23:43.420So, um, I just think that's the problem in, uh, in Austin.
00:23:48.480Like, these comics, they don't have any reason to get better.
00:23:52.300So, does that mean there's too many mics for them to go onto and there's not enough competition?
00:23:59.140No, it's just that they can go to a show and bullshit and not do well and they'll be up the next night when that didn't happen in old LA.
00:24:08.720Like, if, you know, um, right when social media was popping off, when I moved there, like 2010, 2011, you know, you didn't want to catch an L or a bomb at the comedy club because everybody would hear about it.
00:24:21.460So, uh, you would go to these open mics and, you know, you would work it out.
00:24:26.920And at these shitty open mics, you would just hit so many, like, before I went to the comedy store, I probably got on stage, I'd say 200 times before I even, you know, signed up for potluck at the comedy store.
00:24:39.760Like, because I would just go watch, but I would never sign up because I, I just felt like I know I shouldn't be going here to bullshit, you know?
00:24:48.360So, um, yeah, you know, um, that's one thing, that's one element that's missing in Austin, uh, importance.
00:25:05.420Like there's, there's, there's, there's really no reason.
00:25:09.380Like you can go to many of your shows in Austin and see terrible comedy and you'll continuously see them saying people get up and it's like, how?
00:25:18.360Well, the, I think the show itself in Kill Tony is so unique that it's, there's trying to pop up a copycats up here is what I'm being told is that people are trying to do it.
00:25:34.320And it just doesn't work because even the talent up here isn't there.
00:25:38.620There's still, from what I hear, suffering from extreme woke-ism in the comedy scene.
00:25:44.700Um, you know, there is Ryan Long's, uh, partner.
00:26:36.660Or they, you know, I might've been booked on a showcase and they're like, oh, we didn't realize David was this type of, like, that's happened many a times.
00:26:45.560When I was with my old manager, like people would book me on shit and then he sent it to me.
00:26:49.680And then like a few days later, they probably Google me or something and then see that I talk about everything.
00:26:55.780But why do you start a comedy club if you're going to, it's like.
00:27:01.140Well, these were not necessarily comedy clubs.
00:27:03.840They were just like, like say, um, some, uh, some, uh, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:27:11.540Some, uh, promoter was putting on a show, like at a theater and they hit my manager up like, oh, we're, we're, we're bringing this person, that person and this person.
00:27:20.600And then we think David would be good to add to this, uh, four, four city theater run, you know, like that.
00:27:30.400So I wouldn't, I wouldn't necessarily say it was the venue.
00:27:33.300It was the people maybe trying to, but this was also like.
00:27:36.520In the height of this woke shit, like it's dying.
00:27:41.140Nah, this is like last year, 2021, early 2021.
00:27:45.440It's crazy how much this stuff moves along.
00:27:48.480I think most people are over it now and people will just go somewhere else.
00:27:51.780I mean, there was a comedy club down the street that took on those shows.
00:34:14.260Think critically and creatively when choosing a costume that honors the dignity of each human person so that everyone can enjoy themselves.
00:34:22.380Costume ideas should avoid the following.
00:34:24.600Please note that this is not an exhaustive list.
00:34:27.340Any cultural stereotype, blackface, the COVID-19 pandemic, a person with differing abilities, people with mental illness, individual experience in homelessness, body shame and body objectification, animal cruelty.
00:34:58.660Trying on another race, culture or identity contributes to stereotypes and causes real harm to communities that have been historically marginalized and who continue to face systemic oppression today.
00:35:10.840I think it's wild that you can't even do that day of the dead stuff from Central American countries where that's literally just like you're painting your face as a skeleton.
00:38:59.520I would say, ask those girls, how do they feel about, you know, the shots altering their periods, but these type of girls don't want to procreate anyway.
00:39:09.060So the sad thing was, is that this is probably the most chill campus of all of them, and they still just, every turn, every corner you go on, every billboard or corkboard you see,
00:39:21.460it's all be tolerant, equality, equity, social justice.
00:39:29.960Here's our native speaker coming to teach you about diversity.
00:39:34.100And that's the best school you can go to in terms of that stuff.
00:40:32.020Well, the thing I see now is that there's like three different competitors to Twitter for right-wing people,
00:40:38.540and these celebrities that I've never heard of say they're going to leave Twitter, but where are they going to go?
00:40:43.760I think they're going to have a rude awakening as to how hard it is to build a social media platform with a couple hundred million users out of the world.
00:41:42.360I don't even think Zuckerberg really wants Facebook anymore because it's kind of become this old, you know, grandma centric social media platform.
00:41:51.920He's focusing on like virtual reality and everything.
00:42:05.500Well, I don't get what I never deal with a bitch again.
00:42:09.420I don't know what the goal is there, because one of the examples he said was you could call a person on meta.
00:42:18.120So you want to call a person who's also wearing goggles to speak face to face with their avatar when you could just use, you know, a video call or FaceTime.
00:44:04.260I mean, when you have a black guy that looks like me with locks and tattoos and a large frame, you don't expect them to pop up to you and say that I support Trump.
00:44:21.880I think you got a Fox News contract coming your way because those questioning people at like gas stations, if they miss the prices from the Trump era, those things are going off the charts.
00:46:22.640And it goes both ways because something happens in the U.S. like a school shooting.
00:46:27.000And then they say, this is why we ban guns or this is why we need to ban them more or something like that.
00:46:32.700Or, you know, illegal immigration is a problem in the states.
00:46:36.900And then they say in Canada, well, we are compassionate up here and we agree that the border should be, you know, we shouldn't be separating families.
00:46:46.420And this is why we give people at our border such great benefits and everything.
00:46:51.800So everything that happens from a Republican standpoint in the U.S. becomes something they use to say, hey, this is why we're so liberal.
00:47:03.420And this is what will happen if you put a conservative in.
00:47:06.640Do you think liberals are trying to create in both America and in Canada, do you think liberals are trying to create a new voting group?
00:47:15.560Because they know that the older the people that are getting older see that they're not doing anything.
00:47:23.020So they have to allow the illegal immigrants to come in so they can treat them pretty nice so that they'll push for them when it's time for election.
00:47:32.760And I think this happens in most Western countries.
00:47:34.880And now it's the controversial great replacement theory is what they try to say.
00:47:39.780But I think inherently, especially and it happens in Europe, too, with with migrants.
00:47:44.720If you come to a country and all you really know is that this government brings you in and in Canada, you'll get a place to live, basically an income and a very high tier of health care.
00:47:57.320You'd say, well, they're doing a great job.
00:48:00.320So why wouldn't you vote for them and keep that going?
00:48:02.940But the problem is, is what eventually happens is that as the system collapses, you were not able to give people all these free things that you promised.
00:48:11.080Now, they just announced today, I think it was 500,000 more immigrants per year by 2025, which you have to understand America, I think, lets in just over a million a year legally.
00:48:23.380But Canada is one tenths the size and we're going to let in half that number.
00:48:28.540So it doesn't really make mathematical sense.
00:48:57.860So the way Bernie Sanders says we need to have this system like Canada has, he completely lies or he just doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:49:07.000I don't know if he what he's thinking at his age, but you can have private health care here.
00:49:11.960You can have health insurance through your work or you can go and pay like a monthly fee for health insurance like you can in the U.S.
