Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Great to have you along today. It is Wednesday, March
00:00:04.980 the 5th, 544 a.m. with the Big Blue Mug of Coffee and today I want to talk to those of you
00:00:11.000 who are jumping off the conservative bandwagon today. Maybe you haven't been in the political
00:00:17.500 game as long as I have. I just turned 60, but you need to understand that politicians can't say and
00:00:23.460 do everything you want them to do, even if they're in your own party. We're going to talk about
00:00:27.880 pure poly of today. And I think that some of you might be starting to jump back on the bandwagon
00:00:32.980 because there's good news. Check out the poll numbers, folks. National Post, this came out
00:00:37.900 yesterday. Yesterday I was concerned about the polls, but I'm a little optimistic here. Conservatives
00:00:43.380 rebound with voters, regain double-digit lead as liberals slide in poll. Let's just go down and
00:00:48.580 read just a little bit of this. I don't want to get too far into it. The poll shows conservatives
00:00:52.900 rebounding to 43% support, up five percentage points from the Leger poll last week. Liberals
00:00:58.200 have slipped to 30, losing five percentage points in support. NDP slipped one point over
00:01:02.680 the week to 13%. The latest survey was conducted between February 8th and March the 2nd. Feeling
00:01:07.780 better? Are you jumping back on the bandwagon again? Because we knew this was going to happen,
00:01:13.080 that the leadership campaign would give them a boost in the polls. And yeah, it got precariously
00:01:17.520 close and things are looking better. But hold out. Hope, folks. Pierre Polyev can't do everything
00:01:24.140 you want him to do. And he's going to be our next Prime Minister and you need to vote for
00:01:28.400 him. I want to go through some of the reasons why people are all of a sudden jumping off the
00:01:33.420 Polyev bandwagon and criticizing the man. He's walking a tightrope right now, folks. And you're
00:01:41.400 all talking about voting for the PPC. Are you nuts? Do you want to hand the Liberals five more
00:01:46.920 years? Let's look at, this comes right off X. I found this this morning. This is an open
00:01:52.140 letter from a guy who lives in British Columbia, calls himself a libertarian conservative.
00:01:56.700 He looks to be in his 60s, maybe around my age, maybe a little bit older. And he lists
00:02:01.520 a whole bunch of things that's got him jumping off the bandwagon. And I think he's ridiculous
00:02:05.240 and ignorant for doing this. I'm going to try to go through these quickly for you. Open letter
00:02:09.540 to Pierre Polyev, Conservative Party of Canada. Dear Mr. Polyev, at this moment, I imagine you'd
00:02:15.220 like a chance at a do-over. But unfortunately, that option isn't on the table. That growing
00:02:19.320 exodus you hear is the sound of once loyal conservative supporters leaving your party
00:02:22.820 in record numbers. The question you need to answer is why? Here are a few reasons that
00:02:27.660 might explain it. Yeah, you're jumping off. You're not a conservative. You're jumping off
00:02:31.300 the conservative bandwagon right now. Who are you going to vote for? A party leader who might
00:02:36.400 not win his own seat? A party that has no chance of winning? Again, you want to give five
00:02:41.900 more years to the liberals? Let's go through a few of these reasons. Now I'm going to look
00:02:45.140 at the first three here as the same because they are. Vladimir Zelensky's meltdown at the
00:02:50.220 White House exposed his crumbling influence. Memes of you proclaiming Slava, Ukraine are
00:02:54.260 everywhere, tying you to a losing cause. Images of you and Justin Trudeau and matching Ukraine
00:02:58.740 colors are flooding social media. I'm going to sound a little bit like I'm repeating myself
00:03:02.580 for about the first seven or eight things here. But do you really think Pierre Polyev coming
00:03:06.520 out and saying we shouldn't support Ukraine at this point would do anything for his campaign?
00:03:12.340 He would immediately be called a Putin appeaser. And the liberals would have all kinds of ammunition
00:03:16.300 to throw at him. That's why he's not doing that. And you might not like it. I don't want
00:03:23.320 to give more money to Ukraine. It was a losing cause years ago. But right now the Russians have
00:03:28.620 feet in Ukraine and it's time for peace. And I think you probably agree with me on that.
00:03:33.760 But it would serve no purpose for Polyev to come out against Ukraine right now. No purpose
00:03:37.400 whatsoever. Even conservatives put their little Ukrainian flag on their ex-post. They do.
00:03:45.200 Moving along. The next four. Again, I'm going to put these all together. Your refusal to withdraw
00:03:50.420 from the Paris Accord. Your refusal to cut ties with anyone linked to the WEF. Your silence
00:03:55.300 on removing Canada from the WHO. And your unwillingness to discuss exiting NATO. Well, first off, you're
00:04:00.360 giving, again, it's much like the first four. You're just giving ammunition to the
00:04:03.740 other side. The bloc, the NDP, and the liberals would call Pierre Polyev a climate denier if
00:04:09.440 he pulled out of the Paris Accord right now. If he came out against WEF, which he has, by
00:04:15.880 the way, here it is. Back May 4th, 2022, True North, Polyev says he and his cabinet would
00:04:21.680 boycott World Economic Forum. So you've got your World Economic Forum right there. Okay?
00:04:27.500 Your silence on removing Canada from the World Health Organization. Well, again, they call
00:04:31.560 him an anti-vax or anti-science. There's no need for him to do this right now. He's got
00:04:36.100 an election to win. Keep your eyes on the prize, pal. Win the election. You need to read the quote
00:04:42.640 you're seeing on the screen right now. This guy lived before Christ. Sun Tzu from the art
00:04:46.840 of war. He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. Military leaders follow
00:04:51.920 this to this day. And that's what Pierre Polyev is doing right now. And you need to understand
00:04:57.460 that. You know, coming out against all of these things right now would be like showing your
00:05:06.000 cards in the middle of a poker game. That's what it's like. And then your unwillingness
00:05:09.980 to discuss exiting NATO. Well, think about what you're saying here. The guy to the south
00:05:13.600 right now, you know, Donald Trump, who's put tariffs on Canada, says we're not living up
00:05:18.120 to our obligations when it comes to NATO. So let's just pull out of NATO. Now, he's
00:05:22.260 talking about it as well. But he's the United States of America. He funds most of it. That's
00:05:27.680 why he wants to get out. Because people like us are not fulfilling our obligations here in
00:05:32.020 Canada. So that's ridiculous. You're relentless pandering to every special interest group with
00:05:37.240 a voting block of 100 plus people. Well, I agree with you. This is ridiculous. Put on a costume,
00:05:41.420 walk into a mosque. It's stupid. This is the modern day version of kissing babies. And it's
00:05:45.760 stupid. But are you going to vote based on that? Seriously? You're over 60 years of age. Don't
00:05:52.400 be ridiculous. Your wife's refusal to apologize for telling Canadians to wear an effing mask.
00:05:58.560 Well, I couldn't find anything online regarding this. Maybe that's the case. But come on.
00:06:03.220 That's long past right now. You're fighting against something that happened years ago. I don't even
00:06:10.740 know whether she said that. I didn't want to wear a mask. I did at the beginning and I quit wearing
00:06:14.880 it during the pandemic because it was ridiculous. This is the equivalence of leftists saying they're
00:06:19.920 going to boo the national anthem. It's pathetic. But we've got a country to save here, pal. Do you
00:06:25.600 understand? Your refusal to clarify whether your father-in-law is the same individual by that name
00:06:30.820 serving 38 months in a U.S. prison for cartel-related activity. A simple answer would clear this up.
00:06:36.160 So why the sign? So read a little bit about this. This could be the case. Let me ask you. Do you want
00:06:41.220 to air your dirty laundry on X? Because I don't think Pierre Pauly really wants to talk about
00:06:45.200 family matters in the middle of a campaign to be the prime minister of the country. Can you blame
00:06:49.460 him for that? How do you think his wife would feel about him going out in front and talking about
00:06:55.380 this? Seriously? Your lifelong career in politics with no real-world job experience. Canadians deserve
00:07:01.840 to know. Do you differ from Justin Trudeau in any meaningful way? Because right now the distinction
00:07:06.460 isn't clear. Well, it's not clear on the first seven things you put on your list. But seriously,
00:07:11.080 you can call yourself a conservative libertarian who's in your 60s? You sound like a freaking
00:07:15.880 liberal here who says, Pauly hasn't got a plan. He does. He's been talking about it for two years.
00:07:21.100 I stood in Spruce Meadows here in Calgary when he was running to become the leader of the
00:07:26.020 conservative party and he was talking about the same things then.
00:07:31.320 The political landscape is shifting fast. Well, yeah, and your weaknesses are becoming glaringly obvious.
00:07:35.740 Alberta is openly discussing joining the United States. Well, that is a freaking lie. We are not
00:07:40.420 discussing becoming part of the United States. I think Daniel Smith came out yesterday and said
00:07:44.600 she's not doing that. I'm discussing that. I don't want to become part of the United States. I want
00:07:50.100 us to separate and become our own country. But that's a lie. I think we should take parts of British
00:07:55.080 Columbia and Saskatchewan with us. You're welcome, Mr. Libertarian Conservative. At this rate,
00:08:01.280 one might wonder if you're secretly working for the People's Party of Canada. Maxime Bernier remains the
00:08:05.520 only leader consistently standing for Canadian values. Well, vote for Maxime Bernier. He's not
00:08:09.540 going to win his own seat. His party will get nowhere. And you're going to put the Liberals
00:08:12.640 back in power for five freaking years. I voted for Maxime Bernier the last two elections.
00:08:18.260 And I live in Calgary, Shepard. Tom Kimmich, who is the MP here, won by 60 points here.
00:08:24.340 I knew my vote meant nothing. But if you vote in great numbers for Maxime Bernier and the
00:08:28.780 Peace PC, you're going to be stuck with the Liberals and it will be worse under Mark Carney.
00:08:36.620 And as a final note, your belief that you can take on Donald Trump in a tariff war is laughable.
00:08:41.140 Trump just secured a $100 billion semiconductor deal to bring chip manufacturing onto U.S. soil.
00:08:46.480 If you think you can go toe-to-toe with him in an economic showdown, you've already lost.
00:08:49.960 I don't believe he thinks we can go toe-to-toe with him. But do you think he wants to come out
00:08:54.520 against Team Canada at this point? People are lauding Trudeau as a hero yesterday because he
00:09:01.660 imposed tariffs on the United States. We're not going to win this war. Not putting tariffs on the
00:09:06.820 United States would have been the right thing to do because we're going to suffer more because of
00:09:10.220 this. I don't think we can win this. We could see the unraveling of the whole country. I did a video
00:09:16.140 on it yesterday. But he cannot, cannot come out against Canada right now. He would lose, they would
00:09:25.120 throw him out of the party right now. They would. The Conservatives would be mud if he did that.
00:09:31.480 You've got to think. You have very little time left, of course, correct. What he needs to do is he needs
00:09:36.820 to blame all of this mess on the Conservatives and be very clear about that. A really good video right now.
00:09:41.920 Just slamming Trudeau and Carney and the Liberals. We are here because of the Liberals. I keep saying
00:09:47.800 it. I keep saying it. Polyev keeps, has to keep saying it. Wake up, pal. People like you and other
00:09:55.340 people like you who are going on and on about Polyev sounding like Trudeau are going to put us into a
00:10:02.900 dire situation. We need Polyev to be the next Prime Minister and the Conservatives to have a majority.
00:10:08.200 That's the way out of the tariff issue. That's the way to get along with the United States. That's
00:10:12.320 the way to prosperity. If you're not sure what Polyev's been talking about for two years, do your
00:10:16.980 homework. But writing a stupid post on X is getting us nowhere. Thank you very much for watching. What
