John Bolton - Bozo Mode： Doug Ford Lights Up Canada’s Dumpster Fire

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 425 AM, Friday, October the 24th. I hope you're

00:00:08.680 having a great start to Friday morning. I've got my big blue mug of coffee and I tip it

00:00:14.800 to you today. And I'm just chuckling because I just can't believe what goes on in this

00:00:21.380 country anymore. I can't. And Doug Ford, about a week ago, poured more gasoline on the dumpster fire

00:00:30.240 and it's having repercussions today. And I almost did a story on this before I went to bed last

00:00:35.480 night. I almost got out of bed and started recording last night, but I thought, you know,

00:00:39.200 I might have a different perspective on this in the morning. And I do. And I'm going to ask a

00:00:42.280 question of Doug Ford in just a moment. I don't think anybody else is asking today. Okay. I

00:00:50.200 actually might have two questions for Doug Ford. Doug Ford has had a bimbo eruption. That's what 1.00

00:00:54.920 it's known in Canadian politics. It's sort of like pouring out a bottle of Crown Royal. It

00:01:00.080 accomplishes nothing and makes you like a, like a damn fool. So here's the story. Trump says trade

00:01:04.820 talks with Canada terminated, claiming Ontario used fake anti-tariff Reagan ad. Was what the

00:01:11.140 Ontario government and the ad that they ran, was it fake? No, it was the words of Ronald Reagan,

00:01:16.860 but they didn't give you the whole story because they selectively edited what Ronald Reagan said.

00:01:23.020 In fact, they only left about 30 or 40 seconds off the end of it that proved that Ronald Reagan,

00:01:29.020 yes, when it benefited the United States used tariffs. So if you're not aware of what's going

00:01:35.320 on here, I'm going to ask the question of Doug Ford right after I play this one minute video. So

00:01:40.860 here's Doug Ford. This was back on the 16th of October. It's official. Ontario's new advertising

00:01:46.100 campaign in the U S has launched using every tool we have. We'll never stop making the case

00:01:51.160 against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together. Watch our

00:01:56.360 new ad. When someone says let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing 1.00

00:02:03.060 the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while it works,

00:02:11.180 but only for a short time. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker

00:02:17.860 and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering

00:02:26.080 of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries

00:02:33.060 shut down and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization

00:02:40.380 that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair

00:02:47.280 and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake.

00:02:52.400 So my question to Premier Doug Ford, Doug, what was the purpose of this ad? What did you hope to

00:03:02.840 accomplish with this ad? Were you trying to stir up hate amongst the people in the left in the United

00:03:12.540 States who hate Donald Trump? Finding a leftist in the United States who hates Donald Trump is like

00:03:17.160 shooting fish in a barrel, Doug. What was the purpose of this? What did you hope to accomplish

00:03:22.900 by this? Because this kind of attitude and behavior has not accomplished anything with Donald Trump.

00:03:30.360 Maybe he should be running an ad against Mark Carney who hasn't done what he said he would do.

00:03:35.200 He stood up the other night in his pre-budget announcement or his pre-budget speech. And this is

00:03:41.520 the kind of attitude he had to start off that speech the other night. You know, things will never be the

00:03:46.580 same. No, they won't as long as we have this issue going on with the United States of America. Maybe

00:03:51.060 it's time to use the carrot and not the stick. What was the purpose of this ad other than to poke the

00:03:55.680 bear? And I think that's what this was meant to do. Is this a campaign ad for you to run in the

00:04:04.120 upcoming conservative leadership race? Because you think that's coming. You just think Pierre

00:04:09.180 Poliev will be gone at the end of January? Is that what this is about? 0.99

00:04:15.560 Here's Donald Trump on True Social. Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has

00:04:20.400 fraudulently used an advertisement, which is fake, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively

00:04:25.520 about tariffs. The ad was for $75,000. I think it might have been $75 million. They only did this to

00:04:31.780 interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts. Tariffs are very important to the

00:04:35.920 national security and economy of the United States of America. Based on their egregious behavior,

00:04:40.920 all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. Thank you for your attention to

00:04:45.360 this matter, President Donald J. Trump. And here's a statement from the Ronald Reagan Presidential

00:04:52.760 Foundation. Now, I don't know what they can do legally. This is from 1987. It might be in the

00:04:57.600 public domain. I don't know. They have misrepresented what Ronald Reagan said because the province of

00:05:03.240 Ontario did not play the end of this. Ronald Reagan was not for tariffs, but he was at times. And here's

00:05:09.760 how he ended. In fact, let me just show you a statement on tariffs on April the 17th, 1987.

00:05:16.400 Tariff increases on Japanese semiconductor products. And one week later, this is the 25th of April. This

00:05:23.500 is one of his Saturday addresses. The great communicator here talking about this issue and

00:05:28.300 tariffs on Japan. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well. In certain select cases,

00:05:33.860 like the Japanese semiconductors, we've taken steps to stop unfair practices against American products.

00:05:41.320 But we've still maintained our basic long-term commitment to free trade and economic growth.

00:05:48.080 Let me get this straight. I am not here to defend Donald Trump. I'm merely asking the question of the

00:05:54.620 Premier of Ontario, Doug, what has this accomplished? As you can see, it's accomplished nothing. In fact,

00:06:04.000 it's made things worse. This has been detrimental to the process. Maybe you need to start thinking

00:06:11.320 differently. Here's the article from the Reagan Library regarding these tariffs. In my March 27th

00:06:18.420 announcement, I said we'd impose tariffs on $300 million in Japanese exports to the United States

00:06:24.080 to offset losses suffered by American semiconductor producers as a result of the agreement not being

00:06:29.840 fully implemented. Ronald Reagan imposed tariffs back there because he thought he wasn't getting a

00:06:35.660 fair deal from other countries. And whether you like it or not, and whether you think it's true or

00:06:39.800 not, that's what Donald Trump thinks. And here's another question I have for you, Doug.

00:06:44.700 Is it Donald Trump's responsibility to look out for the Ontario economy? Is it his responsibility to look

00:06:51.580 out for the Canadian economy? No, Donald Trump thinks, whether you like it or not, that he's doing what's best

00:06:58.840 for his country? And I think the people who continue to go after Donald Trump should stop looking outwardly and

00:07:07.520 start looking inwardly because the threat is in the House. Mark Carney has failed on this.

00:07:16.460 Mark Carney has failed on this. This was the singular reason he got elected. Period.

00:07:29.040 How are these tariffs working out for Donald Trump in the United States? Again, he's just doing what he thinks is best

00:07:33.560 for his country. He wants jobs in his country. He doesn't care where he's going to get them.

00:07:37.780 Trump signs order hitting truck imports with 25% tariffs. About a week or so later, we get this story.

00:07:44.940 Quebec Union urging action after 300 employees laid off amid tariff war. Uniform Quebec Union wants action

00:07:51.020 after hundreds of workers laid off at a commercial truck manufacturer, which the union says is related

00:07:56.000 to the ongoing tariff war between Canada and the United States of America.

00:07:59.880 America. Donald Trump is just doing what he thinks is best for his country. We need people who live

00:08:07.900 in this country and people who rule over us in this country to start thinking about what's best for

00:08:12.820 Canada. And we don't have that right now. We get temper tantrums from people like Doug Ford. Let me know

00:08:20.860 what you think in the comments. If you liked the video, please give it a thumbs up. Subscribe to the
