John Bolton - Justin Trudeau Yells Squirrel

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 412 a.m. on Thursday, February the 20th with the big blue

00:00:06.600 mug of coffee. It is 412 a.m. I'm not kidding. It is 412 a.m. There's my watch. Take a look at the

00:00:13.700 time. And you're probably feeling pretty good today, aren't you? I'm feeling good because the

00:00:18.360 weather's kind of going to change here in Calgary for the first time in weeks. It's been in the low

00:00:23.000 minus 20s for a couple of weeks now and we're going to see a 40 degree turnaround by the

00:00:29.040 weekend. It's supposed to get up in the mid-teens here. Pretty remarkable, but you're probably

00:00:32.460 feeling happy because yesterday you probably were watching your favorite YouTubers going on all day

00:00:38.220 long about Justin Trudeau soon being in an orange jumpsuit in a federal penitentiary because the

00:00:44.300 SNC-Lavalin affair, well it popped up again yesterday because of this. I am here today to announce that

00:00:52.660 DeMarxiewicz is taking the next step in its years-long process to hold the Trudeau government

00:01:01.500 and Prime Minister Trudeau and the Trudeau cabinet accountable for pressuring the Attorney General

00:01:07.700 back in the fall of 2018 to intervene and stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.

00:01:15.300 Wow. This is a huge story. I mean, this is massive. This is going to get all the headlines

00:01:24.280 for weeks on end. This is the biggest story we've had since Justin Trudeau walked out on January the

00:01:30.480 6th. Justin Trudeau is screwed. He is going to jail, folks. Now, what's the SNC-Lavalin affair about?

00:01:37.100 If you don't remember, quickly, this is from Wikipedia. I know, don't always trust Wikipedia,

00:01:41.220 but this will give us a quick bit of information regarding this SNC-Lavalin affair, a political

00:01:47.860 scandal involving attempted political interference with the justice system by the Prime Minister of

00:01:51.700 Canada, Justin Trudeau, and the Prime Minister's office. The Parliament of Canada's Ethics Commissioner,

00:01:56.260 Mario Dion, found that Trudeau improperly influenced then Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jody

00:02:01.220 Wilson-Raybould to intervene in an ongoing criminal case against Quebec-based construction company

00:02:05.580 SNC-Lavalin subsequently rebranded Atkins Realis—I'll get back to that in just a moment—by offering a

00:02:13.480 deferred prosecution agreement. What is a deferred prosecution agreement? I am not a lawyer, but from

00:02:17.960 what I understand, they basically get off scot-free. Now, from what I understand, Justin Trudeau had ties

00:02:22.420 with SNC-Lavalin and all kinds of stuff like that. What I found fascinating, I went back to this,

00:02:27.600 Andrew Scheer, who was the leader of the opposition at the time, accused Trudeau of political

00:02:32.480 interference, lying to Canadians, and corrupt conduct. Trudeau responded with a threat of a

00:02:37.220 libel lawsuit through his lawyer. Now, if that actually happened, and it did, can you imagine

00:02:44.060 the holy hell it would have come down on RCMP officers making 65 grand a year when a lawyer

00:02:50.500 for Trudeau pops up and says, kill it? Because I think that's probably what happened, because they

00:02:55.480 didn't do due diligence when it came to looking into this real scandal. If you go down here,

00:03:01.380 the RCMP laid charges February 19, 2015, alleging that between 2001 and 2011, SNC-Lavalin paid

00:03:11.040 $48 million in bribes in Libya to officials in the government of Muammar Gaddafi. So that's what

00:03:16.460 this is about. This is a huge story. And the fact that this is being brought up again, and Justin

00:03:20.460 Trudeau is going to end up in prison over this, is massive. Let's see what newspapers across the

00:03:25.400 country, what their headlines are today. Let's go out to the West Coast. Vancouver, SNC-Lavalin.

00:03:29.980 Huh. Don't see anything there from British Columbia. Let's go to my home here. No, we're

00:03:38.300 talking about guaranteed basic income. Top story here. What else we got? Wilson Raybould,

00:03:45.140 advised RCMP to widen scope of SNC-Lavalin. Very, very right-wing newspaper here in Calgary,

00:03:50.780 and a very, very right-wing province. So it is there. Let's go to the National Post. Certainly,

00:03:55.420 the National Post is going to have this screaming the headlines, the SNC-Lavalin affair. No, don't see

00:04:01.440 anything there. Not at all. Oh, Justin Trudeau announced a $3.9 billion high-speed rail line. Oh,

00:04:07.660 oh, okay. Don't see anything on SNC-Lavalin there. How about the Globe and Fail here? No,

00:04:13.600 not anything there. Nothing at all. Lots of Mark Carney news. What have we got in the Toronto Sun?

00:04:21.140 Well, you know, Brian Lilly, who's really into politics here, he'll be all over this story. The

00:04:25.980 big story this morning from Brian Lilly will be the SNC-Lavalin affair. Oh, no. The city's sloppy

00:04:30.920 response to snowstorm. Brian Lilly, he's talking about clearing of snow in Toronto. Kind of shades

00:04:36.020 of Mel Lastman here. Look that one up. Toronto, snow removal, Mel Lastman. You'll love that story.

00:04:40.940 Let's go to the Red Star out of Toronto, SNC-Lavalin. No, not seeing anything there. Oh,

00:04:47.380 high-speed rail, Justin Trudeau. Let's go to the Gazette in Montreal. This is going to be a huge

00:04:51.740 story. SNC-Lavalin in, no, not seeing anything here regarding, um, no, no. Oh, high-speed rail,

00:05:01.100 Justin Trudeau. It's on there. Where's the SNC-Lavalin story? It's a huge story. Now, what the SNC-Lavalin

00:05:06.560 thing is about is nothing. Uh, it's going to count, it's going to come to nothing. And if it

00:05:11.500 does come to anything, it'll be years down the road. You won't even remember this. This gets,

00:05:16.100 it's going to be tied up in court for years. But Justin Trudeau, the big story yesterday was the

00:05:22.160 fact that we're going to have a high-speed rail line, which is squirrel, right? You know what

00:05:27.300 squirrel means. Let's, let's find out what squirrel means. Go over here. When someone yells squirrel,

00:05:31.560 it often refers to a person who is easily distracted, has a short attention span, or is

00:05:36.660 affected by shiny odd object syndrome, meaning they get easily distracted by new or interesting

00:05:42.760 things. And that's what happened yesterday. The SNC-Lavalin story came out and Justin Trudeau

00:05:49.020 yelled squirrel, and he brought out a rail line that is never going to happen. Now, why do I say it's

00:05:54.900 never going to happen? Because of this. Now, here's what Justin Trudeau tweeted out yesterday.

00:05:58.200 The city of Montreal said Canada's building a high-speed rail, so all of you Torontonians

00:06:02.880 can visit Canada's best city faster than ever. And Justin, oh, Justin, get back to Toronto with

00:06:08.040 your bagel still warm. Isn't that nice? And here's the rail line where it's going to go through

00:06:11.480 apparently. Now, if you see here, this yellow line is where Via goes through right now. I used to live

00:06:15.680 right in this area here in Cornwall. Now, this high-speed rail line is going to go right through

00:06:20.660 here. But is it? I don't think it's ever going to go through here. Because if you look at Google Maps,

00:06:25.880 here is Google Maps. And this is where that rail line would go through right here. Highway number

00:06:30.580 seven. Now, I don't know that you know where Highway seven is. It's supposed to stop in Peterborough.

00:06:35.420 There's Peterborough. Beautiful place. Marmara, Havelock. This is a beautiful, this is called

00:06:42.160 Cottage Country. For those of you who don't know what Cottage Country is, this is prime real estate in

00:06:48.120 Ontario. People with really big cottages and really big boats live in this area. Through the

00:06:55.620 summertime, people from Hollywood come here and have these huge cottages in a place called

00:07:00.220 Muskoka. And it's not far from here. Do you really think that Canada is going to get a rail line

00:07:07.700 through prime cottage country in Ontario? Not a freaking chance. Squirrel, folks. Oh, by the way,

00:07:15.200 after 10 years of absolute mindlessness and stupidity of the Liberal Party, here's another

00:07:20.800 squirrel. See it? Let's see it again. Here it is again. This is not going to happen, folks. By the

00:07:27.320 way, from what I understand, I don't know 100%. Atkins Realis is the renaming of SNC-Lavalin.

00:07:36.980 I mean, it's like you couldn't write this in a novel. Atkins Realis, formerly known as SNC-Lavalin,

00:07:44.720 might have their hand in this new project that Justin Trudeau, who is a lame duck prime minister,

00:07:50.940 announced yesterday. And here's the deal. Even if it doesn't get built, how many billions of dollars

00:07:56.800 of your money are going to get spent over the next couple of years looking into this nonsense if the

00:08:01.860 Liberals get back in again? Because Paul Yev should be walking out today and saying,

00:08:05.400 this isn't going to happen. But can he risk doing that? Because it's also vote buying as well in

00:08:12.840 Ontario, isn't it? We're going to spend $30 billion of your money on construction in Ontario

00:08:18.060 and Quebec where the Liberals need what? Lots of votes.

00:08:22.620 Thanks for watching. I do appreciate it. If you liked the video, please give me a thumbs up,
