John Bolton - Rudderless CANADA - Heading Straight For The ROCKS

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 510 a.m. Wednesday, March the 4th. I hope you're

00:00:07.740 having a great start to your Wednesday morning and a great week as well with the big blue mug

00:00:11.300 of coffee. Thank you so much for being here. And I'm getting very close to 50,000 subscribers

00:00:16.720 inching up day by day. If you could click on subscribe, I would really appreciate it. It

00:00:22.260 would help the channel so much. And just a reminder that clicking on the big blue mug

00:00:27.540 does not subscribe to the channel. Just click on the button that says subscribe. Thank you.

00:00:35.240 I want to talk about Canada being a rudderless ship right now. That's what I was thinking when I got

00:00:43.300 up this morning. You know, I think I could expand that out to the Western world as a rudderless ship

00:00:47.560 right now, but I'll focus more on Canada, of course, because I live in this country.

00:00:52.880 And I started thinking about this this morning when it came to a few things that have happened

00:00:57.320 over the last couple of months, but one that's happened in the last couple of days.

00:01:01.180 There's a saying, you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. And I

00:01:05.300 don't think Canada really stands for anything anymore other than one thing. And I think that

00:01:09.460 can be extended to the Western world. The one thing that Canada and the Western world stand for right

00:01:14.680 now is everything against Donald Trump. And I think that's dangerous.

00:01:18.680 The attack on Iran the other day was something I was fully in favor of. And most right-minded people, 1.00

00:01:27.520 and I mean that from a standpoint of right and wrong and right-minded from the political spectrum

00:01:33.140 definition of right, I think most right-minded people would think it was a good thing to get rid of

00:01:38.000 a totalitarian, authoritarian country and state that subjugates women, that kills women for not 0.80

00:01:46.420 covering their faces, that kills its citizens by the tens of thousands, and sponsors terror around 0.81

00:01:51.060 the world. I think most right-minded people think that's a good thing, but that's not what has

00:01:55.160 happened. And it's not happened when it comes to governments as well. Canada is rudderless on this

00:02:02.540 issue and on many things right now to its peril, and to its citizens peril as well. I want to take

00:02:08.380 you to this story from the Hill Times. Can Carney reconcile his Davos goals with complicity in the

00:02:16.060 Iran war? Now when this attack happened the other day, Prime Minister Mark Carney came out in favor of 1.00

00:02:23.840 this attack. And I thought, good, Mark Carney did something that was correct. He came out in favor of

00:02:32.460 getting rid of the authoritarian, totalitarian regime, which I just described. But folks,

00:02:38.840 things have changed because Canada has no rudder. You see, to the Liberals, polling and vote count is

00:02:46.500 more important than Canadian sovereignty, integrity, and security. Here's a poll that has come out

00:02:52.580 just recently, and this is Rick Bell in the Calgary Sun. From the Calgary Sun, Trump-obsessed

00:03:00.700 liberal Canadians just hate U.S. taking on Iran. Angus Reid poll shows half of Canadians oppose the

00:03:07.740 U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in Iran. They hate President Trump. They hate the airstrikes. And this

00:03:15.400 is amazing. Let's just read a bit of this story. Not a lot. Don't want to bore you to death. Get this,

00:03:20.820 only 17% of liberal voters back the strikes against Iran, fewer than one in five. Two out of three

00:03:26.820 conservative voters support the airstrikes. There is a glimpse of sanity. In every part of Canada,

00:03:33.300 those who oppose the U.S.-Israel airstrikes outnumber those supporting them. In every part

00:03:38.160 of Canada except one, in one part of this country, opinion is evenly split, and that is Alberta.

00:03:45.140 God, I love Alberta. A little bit more. It should come as no surprise Prime Minister Mark Carney spent

00:03:51.780 Tuesday making sure he was more aligned with his liberal team and his liberal base of voters.

00:03:58.260 On the weekend, the Prime Minister wanted to be clear and offered quick support for the U.S.

00:04:03.380 and Israeli strikes against Iran. On Tuesday, Carney said he supported the strikes with regret and added

00:04:10.420 he feels the actions appear to be inconsistent with international law. Carney saw the polls. Canada is

00:04:18.260 rudderless. The Prime Minister says he is being realistic. Canada would not have encouraged the

00:04:24.660 U.S. and Israel to strike Iran, but Mark Carney is still backing those initial attacks. That is not

00:04:31.060 a blank check. That is not us participating. That is not us asking for something in exchange for that.

00:04:36.420 None of that's true. In fact, he says while Canada hasn't made a formal judgment,

00:04:40.580 those initial strikes seem to violate global rules. It appears that these actions are inconsistent with

00:04:48.500 international law. Carney's initial instinct on this attack the other day was right. We're getting

00:04:53.860 rid of an authoritarian, totalitarian regime, probably saving tens of thousands of lives here,

00:04:59.780 but the polling numbers came in. And he's got an election to be concerned about in the near future,

00:05:03.780 perhaps. So he changed his mind. He's dithering. Canada is a rudderless ship heading for the rocks.

00:05:09.540 But this isn't unusual for Western leaders. This story's popped up over the last couple of days.

00:05:14.020 This is on the Telegraph. Why Keir Starmer could not afford to lose more Muslim voters.

00:05:19.140 Just the first line of this story, Donald Trump has suggested Sir Keir Starmer's reluctance to

00:05:23.140 support U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran is because of his fear of backlash from Muslims at the ballot box.

00:05:28.500 His Labour Party is depending on Muslims in the UK, which they brought in by the tens of thousands,

00:05:33.940 to support him in an upcoming election. Looking at the votes, looking at the polling numbers,

00:05:38.020 and of course, it's Donald Trump as well. But this isn't unusual. Everything is rudderless right

00:05:44.180 now with Canada. Where's Carney been? Well, he was just recently in India. I don't,

00:05:49.940 I don't recall if this has all been resolved, but it wasn't very long ago

00:05:56.020 that Justin Trudeau said this. Please forgive me for the clip.

00:05:59.140 And the protection of our citizens is paramount. That's why when our law enforcement and intelligence

00:06:05.540 officials began pursuing credible allegations that agents of the government of India were

00:06:10.740 directly involved in the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on Canadian soil,

00:06:18.660 we responded. As Prime Minister, it is my responsibility to provide reassurance

00:06:24.100 to those who are feeling their safety has been compromised. But most importantly,

00:06:29.140 it is my responsibility to take action. Has this issue been resolved? Does anybody know?

00:06:37.220 Sorry about the Trudeau clip, but maybe he was right about this. But where was Carney this week?

00:06:43.380 Because of Donald Trump, we got to make deals around the world. Let's head off to India.

00:06:47.860 Here's a story that ran just before the election last year.

00:06:53.140 Beijing has hit back at Canada, saying it's not interested in interfering in its affairs.

00:06:59.540 It was after Ottawa warned that China and India could meddle in its election next month.

00:07:04.900 And for Niha Pony joins us live from New Delhi. Niha, we've heard China's response. Of course,

00:07:10.340 a list of four. There's China, India, Russia and Pakistan. How has New Delhi reacted?

00:07:17.860 Well, we've not heard a comment from the Ministry of External Affairs on these latest allegations,

00:07:22.820 despite reaching out to them. But they did point me towards a comment that they issued back in

00:07:28.420 January when similar allegations were made, when India had rejected allegations of New Delhi trying

00:07:34.020 to interfere in the internal processes of any country. That report is from less than a year ago,

00:07:40.420 but we're assured that everything is just fine. Who is assuring us? The rudderless government.

00:07:45.780 What I can tell you is that on the eve of the Prime Minister's visit, a Canadian official

00:07:50.500 gave a briefing on background to reporters in which it was said that the Canadian government no

00:07:55.700 longer believes that there is an active threat of foreign interference and repression in Canada by

00:08:01.140 India. And that if those kinds of activities were continuing, the Canadian government wouldn't

00:08:05.700 be taking this trip to begin with. The government assures us nothing to see here, folks. Well,

00:08:10.500 I feel so much better. How about you? Do you trust the government on this? And the previous

00:08:15.220 story talked about four countries that want to meddle in our elections and our politics here.

00:08:20.580 I talked about Russia, Pakistan, India, and China. And Canada is steering its rudderless ship right

00:08:26.420 towards Beijing right now. And Canada's rudderless when it comes to domestic policy as well.

00:08:33.460 I mean, we're rudderless when it comes to making a trade deal with our biggest trading partner,

00:08:37.540 rudderless on the economy. We're rudderless when it comes to debt and deficit, which are too high,

00:08:42.260 rudderless on housing, food prices, cost of living, immigration, and climate alarmism. We know what we need to

00:08:49.300 do to steer the ship in the right direction, but we're steering it right towards the rocks.

00:08:56.180 And the problem is, just like that poll I showed you earlier about the conflict in Iran,

00:09:00.660 too many Canadians are aboard the ship helping steer it rudderlessly right towards the rocks. 1.00

00:09:05.940 You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything. Well, a precipitous fall is coming for

00:09:10.260 Canada, folks, because we don't stand for anything anymore, except for orange man bad.
