00:00:06.880 welcome back to bankers podcast everybody i hope you're having a great evening
00:00:12.760 talking about what's going on in the countries that we live in here canada u.s
00:00:19.560 mexico any mexican fans i've had a few people reach out to me
00:00:23.140 and ask me to come to mexico city which would be pretty cool
00:00:27.240 it's gonna be an expensive ticket that's like what 15 000 pesos to see but now trump's calling
00:00:36.200 um the canadian dollar the canadian peso canadians are screwed man
00:00:43.080 um before we get into the serious stuff here's a video of a canadian man getting his penis stuck
00:00:52.180 to the frozen ground while being detained after a bar fight this is this for my american fans this is
00:00:58.800 what can is all about
00:01:00.020 where's the penis getting stuck
00:01:13.980 just completely nude i mean when you see things like that you you kind of feel like canada deserves
00:01:33.480 the tariffs but here's trudeau saying um whatever he's trying to say after fucking trump just laid it
00:01:41.960 on him laid on the tariffs let's see tonight i am announcing canada will be responding to the u.s trade
00:01:50.760 action with 25 percent tariffs against 155 billion dollars worth of american goods
00:02:00.680 this will include immediate tariffs on 30 billion dollars worth of goods as of tuesday
00:02:07.400 followed by further tariffs on 125 billion dollars worth of american products
00:02:13.720 in 21 days time to allow canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives
00:02:22.040 so so 20 days to move your entire operation to america i guess that's the only
00:02:30.280 logical move for a canadian company now would be to move all of their operations to america because it
00:02:37.400 will be cheaper for them to sell in america if they don't have to bring the products over the border
00:02:42.440 and that's what this is all about that's what trump wants he wants companies to have their
00:02:49.960 manufacturing in america and canada is led by a band of fucking idiots who don't know what the hell is going
00:02:57.240 on and they're just going to destroy the country here's pierre paulia this is uh
00:03:02.760 he's the opposition to trudeau in canada this is what he had to say about trump and trudeau to our
00:03:09.960 american friends you are our friends you are our neighbors we share the longest undefended border
00:03:17.080 in the history of the world you buy our products and we buy yours you have a trade surplus with us
00:03:24.120 when energy is excluded and when it is included the deal is even better for you because you buy
00:03:30.760 our oil and our gas at massive price discounts not because we're nice canadians but because here at
00:03:37.880 home we've made really dumb decisions to prevent us from exporting our energy to any other countries
00:03:44.360 but either way americans are better off with this friendship we share a continent we share the same
00:03:52.520 risks and the same potential enemies from around the world those kinds of enemies can metastasize into
00:03:59.800 real dangers and actual attacks as you saw suddenly and unexpectedly on 9 11. it's good to have friends
00:04:08.120 when those sorts of things happen and let me ask my american friends this question even if you believe in
00:04:14.040 tariffs how is it possible to put a 25 tariff on canada and only a 10 tariff on china in what strategic
00:04:28.120 mindset does that make sense if it's to do with fentanyl the fentanyl is coming from china
00:04:35.800 it's killing our people too we both have to do more to stop it but we can do more when we do it together
00:04:44.200 now here at home my message to the liberal government put aside partisan interests
00:04:51.080 and recall parliament it is insane that in this great crisis parliament is shut down that has to be
00:05:02.600 the most insane thing about this entire canada u.s trade war situation is that right now canada's
00:05:09.080 parliament it was dissolved when trudeau resigned his did his little fake resign and then basically what he
00:05:17.960 did is go okay i'm resigning and somehow stayed the prime minister and now has more power than ever
00:05:25.320 and is now like a full-on i don't want to say it it reminds it rhymes with the
00:05:33.320 shtictator runs rhymes with it's it's crazy we have in canada i'm not in canada right now i'm in america
00:05:40.920 i'm in austin texas where it's beautiful weather is beautiful right now it's like 18 degrees celsius
00:05:47.240 i don't know what that is hey siri what's 18 degrees celsius and fahrenheit
00:05:53.480 64.4 degrees fahrenheit it's nice it's nice here but my canadian fans and friends and my american fans
00:06:09.320 are pretty knowledgeable of what's going on there is no government operating in canada right now
00:06:16.680 now it is just trudeau and his inner circle that is there is no checks and balances happening right
00:06:25.560 now because when trudeau resigned he dissolved parliament so every decision that's being made
00:06:33.400 right now is being made by him trudeau who is a as we know a former drama teacher and snowboarding
00:06:41.720 instructor he's the one guiding canada through one of the biggest economic crisis they've ever had
00:06:51.320 him and his band of you know just complete idiots running this country folks it's
00:07:02.760 it's a very scary situation i think i mean i wish i pulled more of the cash i had a little bit
00:07:10.280 of cash in canada and it's worthless now worthless and this is what uh justin trudeau shared on on the
00:07:20.200 liberal you know that his party's called the liberals that's like the democrats but this is
00:07:26.040 what he shared on their official page i also want to speak directly to canadians in this moment
00:07:31.800 i'm sure many of you are anxious but i want you to know we are all in this together
00:07:42.280 doesn't that sound familiar gee let me let me take a gander at what that's from oh yeah
00:07:49.320 when we were locked inside of our homes for two years over a virus that barely
00:07:54.200 causes a fucking sniffle unless you're 95 years old and even then you have a fucking like 80 percent
00:08:03.720 chance or whatever if
00:08:09.480 ronald reagan said it best when the government says i'm here to help you should run you should
00:08:13.800 be afraid this is exactly what's happening canada is going to implement ubi
00:08:17.640 in some ways trump's tariff plan really is helping out trudeau because what he wanted to begin with
00:08:27.800 through the covid crisis was to bankrupt the country and get rid of all the rich people and then only have
00:08:32.760 poor people to be able to manipulate and coerce this is the same guy and his team are the same people that
00:08:43.480 froze people's bank accounts and now he's at it again we're all in this together
00:08:55.480 isn't that just beautiful the canadian government canadian businesses canadian organized labor canadian
00:09:03.640 civil society canada's premiers and tens of millions of canadians from coast to coast to coast are aligned
00:09:12.040 united and united this is that's got to be the most delusional thing i've ever heard for him to think
00:09:19.080 that all canadians all of a sudden are united when he spent the last five years being yelled at and
00:09:27.800 heckled and protested and you know disagreed with on so many levels by so many different people from the
00:09:37.080 opposition pierre polyev to american politicians to trump to uh you know it's it's fucked up
00:09:48.600 that this guy thinks that everybody's on his side now or it thinks that he's gonna be doing the best
00:09:54.920 for everybody it's it's it's just not true it's not true it's a lie it's not true
00:10:02.680 it's coercion it's a way for him to have more power and and and and you know he
00:10:19.880 what's crazy about this whole canada u.s tariff thing is justin trudeau thinking that he has
00:10:26.680 unified the country against america which is just not true he didn't unify the country when he had
00:10:35.400 protesters destroying statues of canada's first prime minister sir john a mcdonald along with other
00:10:43.560 statues ryerson statue the whole ryerson university had to change their name all these historical figures
00:10:52.360 and and historical uh perspectives being altered forever just like in 1984 he was totally okay with
00:11:00.600 all that he was okay with protesters being toppled over and trampled on by horses during the pandemic he
00:11:08.040 was okay with freezing canadians bank accounts for expressing themselves for protesting
00:11:15.080 and now canada at its best it's creepy that it just turned on like that but and now
00:11:25.320 he just thinks that he's he's a unifier and he's bringing every this is crazy this is crazy
00:11:35.400 really it is meanwhile in the states in the u.s
00:11:41.080 the deportations have started and of course the people who are protesting against the deportations
00:11:49.880 are waving mexican flags and burning american flags and everybody's online going so you're
00:11:56.680 burning the flag of the country that you want to stay in that you came to that you risk your life
00:12:03.800 and your family's life to come to you're burning the flag of that country but you're waving the flag
00:12:08.280 of the country that you never want to go back to and fear being deported to
00:12:20.120 i don't even know what what's an analogy for that that's like uh you know saying i'm a i'm a die
00:12:28.440 hard leafs fan burning a leaf flag and waving a fucking ottawa senator's flag i mean what it's like
00:12:34.040 being a die hard knicks fan and waving a you know a nets wearing a nets jersey and and burning a nick it's
00:12:45.560 it's it's just it's idiotic let's watch
00:12:59.560 here's more protests with mexican flags here's a song that says we rise we resist we march what
00:13:23.720 it look i'm living in america i'm canadian okay i had to pay a lot of money get a lawyer i had to
00:13:34.920 get a lot of signatures from different people in comedy mark breslin others managers agents i had to
00:13:44.200 have uh proof that i was working here proof that i had gigs on the calendar
00:13:48.680 proof that i had a following proof that they lived in america that they actually wanted to see me proof
00:13:55.000 that i was getting tons of views um i had to show ticket sales in canada and how many tickets i was
00:14:02.440 moving and all these things that i had to do and i mean what did what did these people do they they
00:14:09.800 lifted up a fence and walked under it and then magically they're supposed to have rights i'm sorry but it
00:14:17.160 makes a mockery of anybody who does want to come here legally because then anybody who's here legally
00:14:22.840 is seen as oh well you're an immigrant so that means no not everybody climbed through a hole in
00:14:29.320 a fence in mexico to be here and these guys are ruining it for the real immigrants as far as i'm concerned
00:14:35.480 and that's crazy
00:14:39.400 What's going on?
00:15:09.400 I mean, you got to admit, it seems like a peaceful protest.
00:15:27.720 Put aside the fact that they're dumb for waving Mexican flags.
00:15:31.580 Put aside the fact that they're illegal.
00:15:35.260 I mean, some of these people are not illegal immigrants who are protesting.
00:15:38.200 They're simply professional protesters.
00:15:40.620 Two weeks ago, they were protesting Palestine.
00:15:43.800 They were protesting climate crisis.
00:15:48.820 And now they're protesting this.
00:15:50.880 That's really what it is, I think.
00:15:53.500 Am I wrong? Tell me if I'm wrong.
00:15:57.960 Here's a fun story for everybody.
00:16:00.040 An American woman who is staying in Pakistan demands $5,000 a week, land, and more.
00:16:06.160 Following a failed relationship, 33-year-old American woman named Onaya Andrew Robinson
00:16:11.900 was caused quite a stir in Karachi, Pakistan, after demanding $5,000 a week, expressing her
00:16:16.760 desire to become a Pakistani citizen.
00:16:18.440 Following a failed relationship with a local man, Robinson traveled to Pakistan October 2024
00:16:23.440 to marry a 19-year-old that she met after the two allegedly formed an online relationship.
00:16:31.460 However, upon arrival, Memon, under pressure from his family, refused to marry her.
00:16:36.740 Leaving Robinson stranded in Karachi with an expired tourist visa and nowhere to stay,
00:16:42.180 Robinson went to Memon's home, only to find his family had vacated the house and locked it up.
00:16:47.540 She then made a striking demand, stating, you have to give me $5,000 a week.
00:16:51.800 I'm becoming a citizen of Pakistan.
00:16:54.540 She further threatened not to leave.
00:16:56.300 This is hilarious.
00:16:56.940 A black woman in a fucking hijab.
00:16:59.860 Absolutely hilarious.
00:17:00.860 I'm not talking unless y'all giving me land and $2,000 or more every week.
00:17:13.340 You hear me?
00:17:14.520 Okay, y'all.
00:17:15.180 I'm getting my Pakistani passport and Pakistani ID.
00:17:20.260 You have Pakistani ID?
00:17:21.640 I'm getting it.
00:17:22.340 Do y'all agree?
00:17:24.000 No, I'm not agreeing.
00:17:24.820 You're a friend?
00:17:26.000 Mind your business.
00:17:26.920 What?
00:17:27.660 Talk.
00:17:28.040 Tell me you have a Pakistani passport?
00:17:32.180 I'm getting one.
00:17:33.280 Do you have one?
00:17:34.420 I have a Pakistani passport.
00:17:35.480 Oh, you do?
00:17:36.640 Why are you...
00:17:37.360 Okay, good.
00:17:38.440 What are you doing here?
00:17:39.900 Listen.
00:17:40.900 Yes.
00:17:42.120 What are you doing here?
00:17:43.240 I don't live here.
00:17:43.980 I'm chilling.
00:17:45.020 You're chilling here?
00:17:46.600 Why are you not taking your flight?
00:17:49.260 It's none of your business.
00:17:50.640 Now go home.
00:17:51.920 Here.
00:17:52.620 Go home.
00:17:53.700 Take it.
00:17:55.340 I told you.
00:17:56.440 I'm not talking unless you have $5,000 a week from me and USD.
00:18:01.460 Why?
00:18:01.720 I told you.
00:18:02.680 Why?
00:18:04.040 Because it's expensive to talk.
00:18:07.840 Why are you telling me that?
00:18:11.920 Go home.
00:18:14.320 You go home?
00:18:16.340 Go home.
00:18:18.080 What day?
00:18:19.040 I told you.
00:18:19.780 Y'all leave.
00:18:20.660 Pack up and go home.
00:18:23.480 Don't talk to you?
00:18:24.580 No.
00:18:24.960 Right.
00:18:26.400 Because y'all don't have no money.
00:18:27.840 Y'all don't have $5,000 a USD.
00:18:29.420 That is amazing.
00:18:35.660 That is an uplifting story.
00:18:37.740 That is a strong black woman.
00:18:39.740 Okay?
00:18:40.000 You want to talk about strong black women?
00:18:41.760 Move over, Karen Bass.
00:18:43.740 You don't have nothing on this woman, Onaya, who moved all the way to Pakistan to marry
00:18:53.540 a 19-year-old Pakistani guy who stood her up and just wears a hijab and talks shit to
00:18:59.640 the Pakistani media.
00:19:00.920 I mean, goddamn.
00:19:01.460 Damn, I wish she was at the Grammys.
00:19:03.740 I wish she was accepting an award at the Grammys.
00:19:05.640 I wish she was at, you know, I wish she was the fucking press secretary.
00:19:13.120 Wow.
00:19:13.480 She does have that insane look on your eye, like the insane look that you need to have
00:19:19.020 to fly to Pakistan to think you're going to marry somebody is pretty aggressive.
00:19:24.120 Speaking of the Grammys, it's getting weird over there.
00:19:28.320 It's getting woke.
00:19:29.260 We all know that the Grammys are super woke and everybody who goes for the most part and
00:19:35.700 the majority of the people, especially that win, of course, if you think the NFL is rigged,
00:19:40.700 I mean, I hate to tell you about the Grammys, but Beyonce winning best country music.
00:19:47.680 I mean, give me a bit.
00:19:50.540 And that's a bit of a DEI moment to me.
00:19:55.540 Maybe other people could argue that Will Smith's son was there wearing a house on his head.
00:20:05.700 Yeah, look at that.
00:20:14.540 Look how fucking stupid that looks.
00:20:17.640 That is just unbelievably.
00:20:22.160 What is that even supposed to signify?
00:20:25.900 Black, a black house, white house, black house, black hawk.
00:20:30.980 It's just a publicity stunt, right?
00:20:37.380 Everybody's trying to do their publicity stunt.
00:20:39.320 Kanye, of course, won.
00:20:41.580 He won the publicity stunt competition because his wife showed up naked and they weren't even invited.
00:20:49.540 Kanye looks good, by the way.
00:20:50.800 He's got he's got a nice he looks like he's been working out.
00:20:54.720 He's got dick bulge going on.
00:20:57.340 Right in front of the podium.
00:20:59.760 Can you see the fashion?
00:21:01.620 Over the shoulder now.

00:21:22.580 I mean, she looks good.
00:21:39.480 Can we can you can you argue that?
00:21:42.280 She's definitely in shape.
00:21:44.660 And she's got massive, huge.
00:21:47.520 Looks like natural tits.
00:21:49.180 It's pretty impressive.
00:21:50.320 Not going to lie.
00:21:51.040 Not even going to lie, but.
00:21:55.920 Yeah.
00:21:56.420 Who's that other that woman that that won?
00:21:59.460 This woman, Chappelle.
00:22:02.880 Rowan.
00:22:04.520 This fucking psychopath.
00:22:08.280 This is what she dressed up like for the award show.
00:22:10.740 Not conventionally good looking for sure to begin with, I would say.
00:22:25.360 Is she is she a good performer, though?
00:22:27.200 I heard that there's a special place where boys and girls can all be queens every single day.
00:22:35.540 Yeah, she's a fucking psychopath.
00:22:38.160 All right.
00:22:39.420 LGBTQ plus activism.
00:22:42.040 Oh, I will have a dream that boys and girls can be queens.
00:22:46.580 What the fuck are you talking about?
00:22:48.880 Seriously, these people don't even fucking have kids.
00:22:52.600 They don't have this bullshit.
00:22:54.420 You know, Paw Patrol.
00:22:55.760 I heard today, I think, how do you want to dress him up in a skirt or in a thing?
00:23:03.300 But he's a boy.
00:23:04.480 Stop it.
00:23:05.800 The kids don't like it.
00:23:07.240 They don't like this trans bullshit.
00:23:08.720 They don't like fucking people who dress up like retarded clowns.
00:23:12.480 Look it.
00:23:12.740 She's got a dunce cap on.
00:23:14.860 Chappelle Rowan.
00:23:15.800 Oh, nice dunce cap.
00:23:17.560 Fucking.
00:23:19.540 And she's crying about.
00:23:21.060 Oh, she wasn't crying, but she was saying that.
00:23:23.820 Oh, the new artists don't get enough money.
00:23:26.660 And you don't get any money because you don't sell any records.
00:23:36.540 It's her doing a cover of something.
00:23:42.940 Seriously, though, who the fuck is Chappelle Rowan?
00:23:45.800 Is a great question.
00:23:48.220 But she did this little speech.
00:23:54.020 Let's watch the speech because it's ridiculous.
00:23:58.020 They're trying to show the free toss.
00:24:01.560 And I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music.
00:24:06.820 I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists
00:24:12.620 would offer a livable wage in health care, especially to developing artists.
00:24:18.440 I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful
00:24:25.440 Yes.
00:24:25.920 Every artist.
00:24:29.260 The day you decide, hey, you know what?
00:24:31.900 I want to do music.
00:24:32.880 Oh, perfect.
00:24:33.940 We got a fucking 80 grand a year plus commission fucking salary.
00:24:37.900 And we'll pay for all your meals.
00:24:39.480 Like, what do you?
00:24:39.840 What kind of fucking planet?
00:24:41.640 Obviously, she's not on Earth.
00:24:44.220 Dressed like an idiot.
00:24:45.360 It's just embarrassing.
00:24:46.360 It's sad to see what the Democrats, this is like the last of that Democrat culture.
00:24:56.340 This is, we saw the Olympics in France.
00:24:58.800 This is how they dressed.
00:25:00.620 This is how the men dressed, to be honest, at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in France.
00:25:04.260 This idea that, you know, everybody should be able to dress up like a drag queen and, you know, fucking put a house on your head and, you know, all this shit.
00:25:17.080 And that's why it's so, I think it's cool that what Kanye did, he's wearing a fucking black shirt, black pants.
00:25:22.460 And here's my wife.
00:25:24.680 She's naked.
00:25:25.580 She's way hotter than any of the Chappelle Rowan transgender outfit or the fucking, you know, Taylor Swift, who's not.
00:25:37.940 I mean, I'm not.
00:25:38.980 I don't look at her and go, oh, my God, I get it.
00:25:41.420 She's interesting.
00:25:42.180 She's powerful.
00:25:43.120 She blah, blah, blah.
00:25:43.860 No ass lyrics or whatever.
00:25:46.160 I'm just saying that it's this and, you know, Taylor Swift tries to uplift like she's standing there clapping for the Chappelle Rowan girl.
00:25:58.040 Yes, girl, you go get you slay.
00:26:00.200 It's all fucked.
00:26:02.060 It's it's disgusting, really.
00:26:05.000 I'd love to be at the Grammy.
00:26:06.400 So I'd love it.
00:26:07.200 I'd love it.
00:26:08.420 I'd probably just love it.
00:26:09.500 Trump was asked a few questions.
00:26:17.380 And so apparently he is going to be meeting with the president of Mexico and prime minister of Canada to talk about the tariffs tomorrow or today when you're watching this or maybe it was yesterday or whenever you're watching this.
00:26:30.960 And so hopefully it would be hilarious if this whole thing blows over.
00:26:33.940 He just has the talk with him.
00:26:35.080 He's like, come on, do what I want or else I'm going to do it.
00:26:38.500 And then they just do.
00:26:39.540 It would be so nice.
00:26:41.440 Let's avoid this fucking mess because it's going to be a mess, I think.
00:26:47.380 Probably for Canada.
00:26:48.540 Maybe not for the U.S.
00:26:49.480 Maybe they'll be fine.
00:26:50.240 I don't know.
00:26:51.180 Are you planning to complete the tariffs against Canada?
00:26:54.760 Well, it could happen.
00:26:55.700 If they do anything, we will.
00:26:57.260 Canada's been very abusive of the United States for many years.
00:27:01.800 They don't allow our banks.
00:27:03.320 You know that Canada does not allow banks to go in.
00:27:06.960 And if you think about it, that's pretty amazing.
00:27:09.020 If we have a U.S. bank, they don't allow them to go in.
00:27:13.080 Canada's been very tough on oil, on energy.
00:27:15.660 They don't allow our farm products in, essentially.
00:27:18.920 They don't allow a lot of things in.
00:27:21.020 And we allow everything to come in.
00:27:22.640 It's been a one-way street.
00:27:24.640 We subsidize Canada by the tune of about $200 billion a year.
00:27:29.540 And for what?
00:27:31.000 What do we get out of it?
00:27:31.980 We don't get anything out of it.
00:27:33.220 I love the people of Canada.
00:27:34.980 I disagree with the leadership of Canada.
00:27:37.980 And something's going to happen there.
00:27:41.240 But if they wanted to play the game, I don't mind.
00:27:43.880 We can play the game all they want.
00:27:45.460 Mexico, we've had to play the game that he just created.
00:27:49.640 I mean, Canada, has Canada been abusive to the U.S.?
00:27:56.620 I don't know about that.
00:27:58.340 I mean, the trade stuff, I guess.
00:28:01.100 I was reading a bunch and watching a bunch of videos about tariffs.
00:28:04.860 Basically, what I understand about tariffs is they actually don't really.
00:28:08.660 They kind of hurt the consumer, but they protect the businesses.
00:28:12.000 So Trudeau doing the tariffs back is actually hurting Canadians more than Trump, if you don't
00:28:21.540 know anything about tariffs.
00:28:22.800 The tariffs that Trump put on Canada will make certain products more expensive for Americans.
00:28:31.600 But they weren't going to make the products more expensive for Canadians.
00:28:36.300 Canada decided to put a 25% tariff on the U.S.
00:28:40.020 So now, Trudeau trying to act like a fucking, you know, Captain Save-A-Ho, and the hoe is
00:28:50.080 Canadian voters and taxpayers.
00:28:54.540 He's acting like he's saving the day, Trudeau, by putting these retaliatory tariffs up.
00:29:02.920 But those are the tariffs that are going to hurt Canadians, not the other ones.
00:29:08.020 Fucking idiot.
00:29:10.020 Oh, shit.
00:29:12.880 It's really a bad situation, is it not?
00:29:15.280 It's just a really bad.
00:29:18.180 I mean, it's not just the worst, but Canadians are pissed.
00:29:23.200 They're too stupid to realize that it's their fault.
00:29:26.160 I hate to say it.
00:29:26.980 I am Canadian.
00:29:27.680 I've seen people in my comments go, oh, Ben's fucking he cucks for Canada.
00:29:32.080 Oh, he fucking he's a cuck for Canada or for U.S.
00:29:35.480 Sorry, I fucked that whole thing up.
00:29:37.420 But I mean, I had Americans before being like, this guy's a cuck for Canada.
00:29:41.900 And now I have Canadians being like, this guy's a cuck for America.
00:29:45.540 Dude, America's amazing.
00:29:47.800 Okay.
00:29:48.180 I said this in my last podcast, but the highest, the smartest people in Canada, the biggest achievement you can get.
00:29:56.360 Like if you're a young guy or girl and you're in high school, the biggest achievement you can get is getting a scholarship to an American university.
00:30:07.080 It's pretty easy to get a scholarship to a Canadian university.
00:30:10.220 I'll be honest.
00:30:12.500 Getting into an American university, even if you don't have a scholarship, is like the biggest accomplishment you can make as a Canadian young person.
00:30:21.480 As an adult, as a Canadian adult, your business operating in the U.S.
00:30:26.260 or your business selling products in the U.S. is one of the biggest achievements you can make.
00:30:29.860 As a comedian, the biggest achievement you can do as a Canadian is to move to the U.S.
00:30:37.960 and be successful in the U.S.
00:30:39.900 like so many Canadian comedians, Norm Macdonald, Jim Carrey, Russell, list goes on.
00:30:48.280 I mean, some Canadians think they made it just because they moved to New York.
00:30:51.200 Oh, finally, I moved to New York and lied on my visa.
00:30:53.920 And I live in a fucking cockroach den with four other guys and have no following.
00:30:59.220 But I made it.
00:31:00.340 I made it.
00:31:00.840 No, you didn't.
00:31:01.420 You suck.
00:31:02.900 But Canadians are booing them at the fucking at the hockey games.
00:31:07.520 They're booing the American anthem.
00:31:08.920 I don't like seeing that.
00:31:09.840 I don't because I love the American anthem.
00:31:12.480 And I think all the people who are booing are fucking liberals because if they were conservative, I'm sorry, but the best way to deal with this is I hope Trump just says any Canadian wants to be American.
00:31:23.380 You can do it.
00:31:24.320 We'll give you full citizenship right now.
00:31:27.080 But you have to leave.
00:31:28.200 You have to leave Canada.
00:31:30.040 We'll give you dollar for dollar.
00:31:31.800 Canadian dollars equal to American dollar for all everything you own.
00:31:36.220 Liquidate everything.
00:31:37.300 Get your cash.
00:31:38.120 Move to the US and you're good.
00:31:40.160 Let that happen for a couple of years and see who's left.
00:31:45.140 It's going to be all liberals.
00:31:49.840 It's going to be all illegal immigrants.
00:31:53.120 And let them fucking have it.
00:31:55.100 Let them have it.
00:31:56.180 Fuck it.
00:31:56.580 Fuck it.
00:31:58.200 I'll still visit.
00:31:59.240 I love it.
00:32:00.000 I love Canada.
00:32:01.680 But I don't know.
00:32:03.000 Maybe I'm wrong.
00:32:03.600 People.
00:32:03.900 Oh, you don't go.
00:32:04.760 That's you're not patriotic enough.
00:32:06.780 You do not care enough about Canada.
00:32:09.660 Blah, blah, blah.
00:32:10.320 I mean, fuck, dude.
00:32:11.740 Look at what happened with the COVID thing with pandemic, with the lockdowns, with the freezing
00:32:17.640 of the bank accounts.
00:32:18.580 Like, is that supposed to make me patriotic?
00:32:21.680 If it wasn't for America, we'd still be in fucking lockdown.
00:32:24.400 I think possibly.
00:32:25.940 I'm going to be on tour a ton, and a lot of it is in America.
00:32:39.320 I'm going to be on tour a ton, and a lot of it is in America.
00:32:52.320 People are like, why do you cuck for America?
00:32:53.900 I'm like, because I live here, and I perform here.
00:32:57.580 Most of my dates coming up are in America.
00:33:01.080 Some are in Canada, and if you don't see one of the dates on the calendar, send me a DM.
00:33:07.320 Write it in the comments.
00:33:08.320 We will come to your city.
00:33:09.340 I promise you.
00:33:10.060 We're planning some Europe stuff.
00:33:12.800 We're looking at potentially Australia stuff in 2026, so stay tuned.
00:33:20.260 Right now, we got coming up Naples, Florida, February 4th.
00:33:23.640 It's my birthday.
00:33:25.020 It's going to be great in Florida.
00:33:26.680 I mean, I'll be away from my family, which is awful, and as some of you know, I'm having
00:33:31.520 a second child very soon, probably within the next month, and we're figuring out which
00:33:37.480 country we're going to be doing it in, or should I say which state, the 51st state?
00:33:45.440 So lots of stuff going on.
00:33:47.440 My girl's going to travel, this, that.
00:33:49.620 So February 4th, Naples, Florida, February 5th, Miami, Florida, February 6th, Tampa, Florida.

00:34:05.660 Then I have a little break.
00:34:07.840 February 20th, Salt Lake City, Utah.
00:34:11.260 February 21st and 22nd, Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:34:14.940 Then I have a break.
00:34:15.880 That's when the baby's coming, and when I'll be in dad, full dad mode.
00:34:20.180 Obviously, podcasts are still going to be coming out every couple days.

00:34:32.380 Those are going to be happening every couple days.
00:34:34.540 Clips are going to be happening, but for about a month, there's no tour shows.
00:34:39.040 I will be doing shows in and around Austin or Toronto or wherever I am.
00:34:44.000 April 10th, back on the road after the baby will be here.
00:34:50.940 Baby boy I'm having, by the way.
00:34:52.540 So let's go.

00:35:04.320 April 18th, Newark, New Jersey.
00:35:07.300 We just did a show in Avenel, New Jersey, about 40 minutes from Newark.
00:35:11.860 It was great.
00:35:12.760 We sold it out.
00:35:13.420 We had a ton of demand for another show, but we decided to do this instead,
00:35:16.600 and it's already, I think, about over halfway sold out,
00:35:19.440 and it's a very big theater.
00:35:20.440 Then, the flagship shows of the first big, big, big boys.
00:35:28.480 I mean, the Edmonton show was a big boy.
00:35:30.260 That was like, there was like 1,200, 1,300 people there,
00:35:33.440 so it's going to be the same at Danforth Music Hall.
00:35:36.060 May 2nd, two shows in Toronto sold out.
00:35:39.500 I know people are like, why don't you add another show?
00:35:41.420 We're looking at what to do.
00:35:43.080 We might add another one later in the year, different, bigger venue.
00:35:45.800 We'll see what happens, but we hear you.
00:35:51.780 We see you.
00:35:54.440 May 8th, Austin, Texas.

00:36:53.520 August 24th, the Comedy Club of Kansas City.
00:36:58.340 I'll be in Kansas City, Missouri, August 24th.
00:37:01.200 Little bit of a break.
00:37:02.620 We'll probably be adding things into that as it's still early.
00:37:06.540 Wednesday, September 24th.
00:37:10.160 I'm going to be in Irvine, California.
00:37:12.800 September 25th, 26th, and 27th.
00:37:16.100 I'm doing five shows in Chandler, Arizona, just outside Phoenix.
00:37:20.340 I know a lot of people in Arizona have been asking for shows.
00:37:22.540 Tickets are on sale.
00:37:23.780 Let's go.
00:37:24.280 Let's sell this out.
00:37:24.900 It's going to be this.
00:37:25.720 That is the biggest U.S. weekend that I will have done being five shows.
00:37:32.340 Every other one was three or four.
00:37:34.140 This is five.
00:37:35.320 Let's sell them all out.
00:37:36.280 Let's add more.
00:37:37.160 Okay.
00:37:39.920 Then a little bit of a break into October.
00:37:42.940 New Westminster, B.C.
00:37:44.480 That is a big weekend.
00:37:45.880 That's five shows in British Columbia, just outside of Vancouver.
00:37:51.520 And the last show that I have in the books right now, definitely more shows are going
00:37:55.240 to be added soon.
00:37:56.620 But Tacoma, Washington.
00:37:58.060 I know a lot of people wanted me to come to Seattle.
00:38:00.580 I think Tacoma is like a little less woke.
00:38:02.380 So we are coming into Tacoma, Washington.
00:38:09.200 And I want to say, everybody who supports this podcast, I love you guys.
00:38:14.600 As you see behind me, we do have the potential for a new setup.
00:38:19.620 Not the potential, but it's being set up.
00:38:21.560 We're in the process of it.
00:38:22.800 So it'll be doing some conversations in addition to these types of podcasts, sitting down with
00:38:30.060 comedians and other cool people and chatting.
00:38:32.920 If you have any suggestions of people that you want on the show, let me know.
00:38:36.740 We'll try to get them out here.
00:38:38.940 Over 20,000 people following the podcast now, Bankist podcast on Instagram, which is really
00:38:45.580 awesome.
00:38:46.140 So thank you for supporting there.
00:38:47.920 And like I said, I hope to see you guys at a show.
00:38:50.200 BenBankist.com for tickets, support me on Patreon, patreon.com slash BenBankist.
00:38:57.820 I love you guys.
00:38:59.520 And the next podcast I'll probably be doing in Florida.
00:39:04.580 Hopefully the camera doesn't die then when I do it, because I'm taking my old camera.
00:39:08.300 This is the new camera, which is great for podcasts, but not great for standup.
00:39:13.860 But my other camera is really good for standup.
00:39:15.940 So we'll be bringing that.
00:39:17.740 And yeah, if you're coming to those Florida shows, take a bunch of pictures and videos
00:39:22.720 and posts and get the word out.
00:39:25.000 Next time we're there, we're going to be doing all weekends in Florida instead of just
00:39:28.100 one-nighters.
00:39:28.740 But I'm excited.
00:39:30.280 This is real comedy that I get to do.
00:39:32.420 I get to do the whole road and the whole thing, the whole shebang.
00:39:35.940 And I'll tell you, I'll be honest, I fucking love it.
00:39:38.020 I love comedy.
00:39:38.780 I love providing for a family and I love making people laugh.
00:39:43.760 And I love trying to figure out how I feel about things, how I feel as an artist, how
00:39:47.680 I feel as a, as a comedian, you know, cause I don't want to be, I'll be honest with that.
00:39:55.720 I don't, when I post shit and I see somebody go, I don't give a fuck.
00:39:59.440 Just do Olivia Chow.
00:40:00.540 Like, I'm like, bro, I'm never doing it again.
00:40:02.520 Like legit.
00:40:03.380 If you said something like that to me, I will never do it again because it's, yeah, it's,
00:40:07.680 it's, to be honest, it's easy a little bit.
00:40:10.080 It's easy to go on there and just go, but it's, it's less fulfilling.
00:40:16.720 Sometimes we're still going to do it, but people yelling out at shows do Olivia when
00:40:22.460 I'm doing a great bit and it's killing and everybody's into it.
00:40:25.060 It's just like, fuck you, you know?
00:40:26.900 So, um, maybe I'll just never do it again because it is kind of fucking gay, but I'm
00:40:31.280 embarrassing, but I love you guys wishing my family and myself safe flights.
00:40:39.160 Hopefully you guys are, and, uh, dangerous time to be a comedian, huh?
00:40:45.860 And because of the tariffs, of course, we're going to have to raise the price of all the
00:40:49.280 comedy shows and I'm just kidding guys.
00:40:52.240 I love you.
00:40:52.900 Good night.
