John Bolton - Who gets the horse head？

00:00:00.000 Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel 6 o'clock in the morning on Monday, January the 13th with

00:00:05.240 the big blue mug of coffee. Not a long video today, but I'm following along with great interest

00:00:11.360 the so-called liberal leadership campaign. You know, it was a week ago Trudeau came out and said

00:00:16.900 he'd step aside as soon as they picked a new leader. But the fascinating thing about this is

00:00:21.220 the fact that so many people are running away from this job. Now, does this show that the liberals

00:00:26.680 are in disarray or does this show that there's forces behind the scenes that are making all of

00:00:33.140 this happen? I've said a number of times that I don't think a current liberal will get this job.

00:00:39.700 I think Mark Carney has been handpicked by Trudeau. I did a video the other day which now has 36,000

00:00:44.540 views on how they did a hit piece on former BC Premier Christy Clark. But I also think that maybe

00:00:50.420 some of the big names that were brought forward as possible replacements for Justin Trudeau

00:00:56.600 are staying out because they've been told to stay out. And let's look at a few of them right now.

00:01:01.700 Anita Anand on the weekend suggested that she's not going to run. She's not even going to run

00:01:06.040 in the next election. She realizes that she's been connected with a really unsavory person in

00:01:11.180 Canadian political history and that's Justin Trudeau. Then there's Scott McKinnon. He says there's not

00:01:16.180 enough time to get a leadership campaign going. Now, granted it's a pretty short time to get things

00:01:21.320 going, but I don't think he can pay the $350,000 extortion fee that you have to pay to get into

00:01:27.180 this race. That's a lot of money. Only well-connected bankers could actually do that. Then there's 0.93

00:01:32.000 Melanie Jolie with the stupidest excuse of all. She says she's got responsibilities right now dealing 0.96

00:01:38.140 with the United States and possible tariffs that may be coming from Donald Trump. She's going to be

00:01:43.860 shown the door before very long. That's a stupid excuse. She's just staying out and making excuses. 1.00

00:01:48.300 Then there's Dominic LeBlanc, who I think is probably the smartest of the four and I think

00:01:53.680 he sees the writings on the wall as well. But I kind of liken them, I thought about this on the

00:01:58.280 weekend, I liken them to the four crime families in The Godfather that Michael Corleone does away

00:02:03.940 with, right? It's almost like they've been told, stay out of the race because I picked somebody and

00:02:08.720 my guy is Mark Carney. It's like we've got Barzini, what was it? Barzini, Tattalia, Cunio and

00:02:14.680 Starachi. So that's Anand, McKinnon, Jolie and LeBlanc, okay? So who else is possibly going to run in this

00:02:22.380 race? Well, the big name that's still kind of hanging in there is Christia Freeland. Now she 0.98

00:02:27.920 hasn't said one way or the other if she's running for the leadership of this party and you have to

00:02:33.560 wonder if she's going to. You have to wonder if she's going to find a horse head in her bed,

00:02:37.520 you know what I mean? It was Jack Waltz, right? In The Godfather. You have to wonder if she's going

00:02:43.080 to see Khartoum underneath her sheets when she wakes up one morning. But she's the one liberal

00:02:49.620 that actually has something a little different she can use against pure polyev or against Mark

00:02:55.800 Carney. And that's the fact that she can play the spurned woman, the person who stood up to Justin

00:03:00.660 Trudeau, the hero of feminism, right? Even though she's responsible for all of the economic woe we've 1.00

00:03:07.020 got here in this country. And then of course there's Christy Clark and Mark Carney, neither

00:03:13.260 of which have actually decided they're going to run in this race. Now that may be expected this

00:03:17.800 week, but you wonder if Christy Clark has seen the writing on the wall as well and sees the fact

00:03:22.920 that she's an outsider looking in on this and Mark Carney's going to get this job. Now the real

00:03:28.260 interesting thing about this is that trying to find out who's actually in this campaign is like

00:03:34.560 finding somebody in the witness protection program, right? It's unbelievable. Here are the two people

00:03:40.060 I could find. Now maybe there's more. I don't know. You've got liberal MP Chandra Arya, who I'm putting

00:03:45.380 my support behind. And then you've got Frank Bayliss, MP, backbencher. He's in the race as well. But you

00:03:52.020 have to wonder if they're both going to be made offers they can't refuse, if you know what I'm talking

00:03:57.340 about. I think Carney's the guy. And it will be interesting to see if he walks out in front of the same

00:04:02.420 door. Trudeau walked out in front of last week to make his announcement of stepping down as the

00:04:08.280 leader of the Liberal Party. Now, I did find this video. I'm going to end it here. I find this to be

00:04:14.520 great, kind of fun, kind of a lighthearted way at looking at this liberal leadership campaign.

00:04:19.680 I appreciate you watching. Please give me a thumbs up if you can. Subscribe to the channel. I'm at 3,200

00:04:24.620 now. I've gained more than 2,000, 3,000 people over the last couple of weeks. So that'd be really nice.

00:04:30.520 I'll see you in the next one. Breaking news. CTV has exclusive video of the liberal leader race in

00:04:37.080 progress.
