00:00:00.000 David Eby is supposed to be the proud leader and saying how he's going to save us against
00:00:05.100 big bad Trump.
00:00:06.300 And I'm sitting here going, we need to be saved, you know, from the leadership of this
00:00:11.980 province right now and the others who have themselves so deep in their own interests
00:00:16.760 that they can't put BC citizens first, like you've been doing, in stating, look, I'll
00:00:23.760 align with anybody that wants to get us out of this mess.
00:00:26.440 So anyways, I've just kind of let loose there.
00:00:28.920 What do you have to say?
00:00:30.000 It's actually a really good summary of it all.
00:00:32.140 I mean, this is the truth.
00:00:34.460 I mean, to think that I listened to his clips today,
00:00:36.820 I actually was laughing out loud.
00:00:38.580 I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
00:00:39.940 Your whole press conference, you're calling an election
00:00:41.740 because of Donald Trump?
00:00:42.920 He doesn't even care what you're doing.
00:00:45.000 You have no impact.
00:00:46.360 You have no impact on the international trade negotiations, David.
00:00:50.540 Yeah.
00:00:51.180 You're a nothing burger to him.
00:00:53.300 He's trying to talk about saving our businesses.
00:00:55.880 It's like saving our businesses.
00:00:56.960 is we have now got a we can't export our wine to the states now he thought that was a good move
00:01:05.240 right he does he flexing his political muscle to me this is the elitism of politicians
00:01:11.560 it's nice for you you have a guaranteed salary every year and you get your private security
00:01:17.620 detail and you get the nice big office and you know the the legislative dining room and you've
00:01:24.880 got all this staff, you've got staff, staff, staff, all paid for courtesy of the taxpayers.
00:01:31.300 You have to get to know them and deal with them. I believe Danielle Smith went down right away
00:01:38.080 and she immediately got a relaxation of the tariffs for her province. Now, is that an act
00:01:43.060 of caving into the United States of America or is that simply being pragmatic and saying we can't
00:01:48.760 afford this and we don't need an enemy down there? It's like getting in a ring with Mike Tyson and
00:01:54.740 thinking you can win.
