Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is 4.35 a.m. on Thursday, January 23rd,
00:00:05.720
with the big blue mug of coffee. I hope you're having an awesome day today, and I am having a
00:00:10.820
great day, and I am so pleased at the way conservatives are handling themselves with
00:00:17.520
the media these days and out in public. They are prepared, and they're not giving in to the left
00:00:22.880
when it comes to their narrative. Isn't that refreshing? So what I'm going to do right now
00:00:27.000
is run through a few videos to show you some examples of this, just from the last several
00:00:31.560
weeks. I'm going to end this video, watch to the end, because an elder statesman of Canadian
00:00:36.580
politics will have the final word on this. It's a black and white video, and I don't think
00:00:42.480
most people in the Liberal Party today would agree with this man's words, even though he
00:00:47.220
is probably the most famous Liberal of all time in Canada. Now, why am I doing this today?
00:00:53.440
I'm doing it because of that Pierre Paglia video that has gone viral. I saw it on Australian
00:00:57.620
TV this morning when I woke up, and it's of him talking to a television station, I believe
00:01:03.440
in Toronto, when the issue of gender comes up. So we'll talk about that, and then I'll
00:01:08.060
talk about it from my perspective as well, because I worked in media for more than 30 years,
00:01:12.300
and over the last couple of years of working in media, things really changed when it came
00:01:16.780
to, for the lack of a better word, woke. So we're going to start off with a video right
00:01:20.900
off the top from the CBC, the Canadian Broadcorp and Castration. Now, Kate Harrison is on there
00:01:27.020
representing the Conservative, probably terribly outnumbered in this situation, when Paul Martin's
00:01:32.860
former Chief of Staff wants to make the tariff issue with the United States pure polyevs, and
00:01:39.660
is trying to tie pure polyev to this in kind of a gotcha moment, and this is what Kate had
00:01:44.340
to say. I hope that he actually will put something
00:01:47.580
before his own political ambitions, and that is to try and preserve and protect Canada's
00:01:53.080
economy and fight as best as we can. Kate, you don't like that analysis? What's
00:01:57.520
your thoughts there? It is, I, yeah, my God, if we're talking
00:02:00.720
about political ambitions, we should be talking about Justin Trudeau, not talking about Pierre
00:02:05.460
Polyev. It is not incumbent on the leader of the opposition to table what Canada's plan
00:02:10.980
for tariffs and a retaliatory response should be. That is the duty of the Prime Minister
00:02:15.960
of Canada. Unfortunately, he abdicated the responsibility and the leadership role because
00:02:21.860
he couldn't see past his own ego, and he has forced Canada into inward navel-gazing political
00:02:27.240
drama as opposed to actually coming up with a plan. I think the issue right now, David,
00:02:31.600
is not what Pierre Polyev thinks about retaliatory tariffs. It's that there's too many people saying
00:02:36.480
what they think retaliatory tariffs should be. There's no clear negotiator for Canada right
00:02:40.700
now, and that is the fault of the Prime Minister, not Pierre Polyev.
00:02:43.440
Up next, we go to the great state of Florida with Governor Ron DeSantis. Now, DeSantis is taking
00:02:48.900
none of it when a reporter brings up Donald Trump criticizing Gavin Newsom during the wildfires
00:02:55.500
out in California. Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and to try
00:03:02.240
to create narratives anytime these things happen? Now, you're not as interested in doing that because
00:03:06.920
Newsom is a D. If Newsom was a Republican, you guys would go try to, you would have him nailed to
00:03:12.480
the wall for what they're doing over there. And I know we've dealt with it. We just assume in Florida,
00:03:17.860
anytime something happens, it's going to be politicized by the media. So you guys sitting
00:03:23.000
in judgment of Donald Trump, I mean, excuse me, I think your track record of politicizing these things
00:03:28.420
is very, very bad. I would be remiss if I didn't show you this video. This one went viral to the
00:03:35.280
nth degree. Pierre Polyev in British Columbia, standing in an orchard with a reporter with an
00:03:41.360
apple. Fully prepared, masterclass, so perfect you'd think it was staged. On the topic, I mean,
00:03:50.940
in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.
00:03:56.520
What does that mean? Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess.
00:04:05.480
I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what?
00:04:14.200
Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing, you know, I mean, it's that type of ideological thing.
00:04:19.860
I never really talk about left or right. I don't really believe in that.
00:04:22.720
Okay. A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump book.
00:04:37.780
Well, you're the one who asked the question, so you must know somebody.
00:04:40.540
Then we come to the new president of the United States, Donald Trump.
00:04:45.760
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
00:04:56.680
After Trump says that, the news station in Toronto knows that they've got Pierre Polyev on.
00:05:07.140
Word goes out to this anchor here, get Polyev on the gender question.
00:05:13.280
Polyev fully prepared for this, of course, because conservatives are thinking differently.
00:05:19.420
I worked in media for more than 30 years, only out of it for a couple of years at this point,
00:05:26.280
You know it, I know it, the media has gone far left, and that is the case.
00:05:29.540
I saw people who were conservatives keep their mouths shut, and those who spoke up got reported to HR,
00:05:36.260
because the leftists at the radio stations I worked at didn't like their opinions.
00:05:41.920
Now, the guy doing this interview probably has a liberal membership card burning a hole in his back pocket.
00:05:47.880
I can't say for sure, but that's probably the case.
00:05:51.020
So, keep that in mind while you're watching this.
00:05:53.660
Also, keep in mind that in Canada, broadcasting is federally regulated.
00:05:58.500
So, this guy probably has to walk by a pile of tampons when he goes into the men's bathroom.
00:06:05.140
And in the final couple of years, I worked in media at probably the largest media company in this country.
00:06:12.000
We had to do regular training online on a yearly basis on best business practices.
00:06:18.060
Near the end, most of it was about DEI, and a large part of it was about trans and gender pronouns.
00:06:27.940
So, this guy has been doing that training, no doubt, just like I had to do at another large Canadian media station.
00:06:35.000
So, keep that in mind while you're watching this video with Pierre Polyev.
00:06:39.100
And then we'll finish it up with an elder statesman from the Liberal Party.
00:06:43.360
On his first day on the job, President Trump signed an executive order, you know, the U.S. government only recognizing two genders, male, female.
00:06:53.040
You know, if elected as prime minister, is that something that you're going to kind of walk in line with?
00:06:57.700
Or what are your feelings on that executive order?
00:07:01.340
Do you have any other genders that you'd like to name?
00:07:09.740
I'm just asking more so if you're in line with what he is saying, do you agree with what he's saying?
00:07:14.580
Is that something that you would be lockstep with if elected as prime minister?
00:07:18.620
Well, I'm not aware of any other genders than men and women.
00:07:23.020
I mean, if you have any other that you want me to consider, you're welcome to tell me right now.
00:07:28.040
Well, there's, well, there's, personally, I am a man.
00:07:33.740
There are people there who, you know, they say they're gender neutral.
00:07:46.600
I just find it to be a strange priority to spend time talking about this.
00:07:50.640
My priority is to give people back control of their lives and bring back Canada's promise
00:07:55.920
that anyone who works hard gets a powerful paycheck and pension that buys affordable food, gas, and homes in safe neighborhoods.
00:08:06.500
If liberals want to talk about different labels for gender that they want to put on passports in the United States, they can do that.
00:08:14.880
I'm going to talk about the things that will bring home Canada's promise.
00:08:29.320
Polyev, cool as a cucumber, not accepting any of it.
00:08:42.900
Just don't expect me to play along with your delusions.
00:08:54.460
And I'm going to finish up with an elder statesman from the Liberal Party.
00:09:01.100
I don't think what he says here would be accepted by most liberals today.
00:09:05.840
But they're probably the only words this guy ever said that I agree with.
00:09:17.020
I think the view we take here is that there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.
