00:00:00.000 Welcome everyone to Ratioed. My name is Harrison Faulkner. Alex Jones has endorsed Pierre
00:00:12.960 Pauliev and ladies and gentlemen, get the popcorn ready. The meltdown is in full swing and the takes
00:00:17.760 on Twitter, the meltdown on Twitter, it's gold. The reactions are just pure gold. We've got them
00:00:23.040 all on the show. Hopefully we've curated some of the best ones for you guys. Also on the show,
00:00:27.540 our prime minister, Justin Trudeau, he certainly has a knack for timing, doesn't he? He just knows
00:00:31.540 exactly when to embarrass us, when to embarrass the country. You know, instead of doing his job
00:00:36.520 as prime minister, instead of, you know, trying to solve some of the multiple crises facing this
00:00:40.740 country right now, well, he was seen last weekend bungee jumping in Quebec because I guess that's
00:00:46.020 exactly what a prime minister in 2022 does. And as we always do, we wrap up the show with the ratio
00:00:51.820 of the week award. And without giving it away, without saying too much, all I will say is this,
00:00:56.380 we finally got them guys. We finally got the big fish in the pond and it'll be a good one. Just,
00:01:01.800 just stick around to find out exactly who wins. The common question for this episode is this,
00:01:06.400 will Justin Trudeau stick it out to the end of his mania and run for reelection? Will he try his
00:01:10.740 hand for what is it a fourth time to win reelection? From my vantage point, it seems as though he's
00:01:16.060 checked out. And I know he said he plans to run again, but you let me know in the comments below,
00:01:20.800 what do you think Justin Trudeau will do? Will he run for reelection and try his hand against
00:01:25.160 Pierre Polyev? Let me know. Drop a like on the video and share it. And if you're feeling generous,
00:01:29.360 as always, consider donating to us at donate.tnc.news. The link is in the description of this
00:01:35.180 video. All right, let's get into it. So if you haven't heard the news, Alex Jones of Infowars has
00:01:40.040 endorsed Pierre Polyev. And I personally wouldn't even go as far as to call it an endorsement.
00:01:45.120 It's hardly an endorsement. In fact, Alex Jones doesn't even say his name. It's like he forgot his name,
00:01:49.600 but nonetheless, to the left, to the liberals in this country, it counts all the same because they really
00:01:54.620 think they've got it this time, right? They really think they've stuck it to Pierre Polyev. You see,
00:01:58.600 this one, this one is going to convince Canadians that Pierre Polyev is a dangerous far-right maniac.
00:02:03.160 He must be stopped, right? First, they tried that with the Diagilon guy. They tried that with the
00:02:07.780 handshake, right? When that one didn't stick and no one really bought it, now they've waited for a
00:02:12.480 perfect opportunity. And sure enough, Alex Jones comes along, drops a hardly a ringing endorsement,
00:02:17.700 but an endorsement nonetheless. Alex Jones drops an endorsement and it's as though they feel they've got
00:02:22.060 the winning ticket in their hands. This is it. This is going to convince Canadians. I'm going to
00:02:25.780 play that endorsement for you now. And then we're going to get into some of the hilarious reactions
00:02:29.360 after, of course, the lefties on Twitter freaked out. And we could show you some of the most insane
00:02:34.880 takes from sort of no-name accounts, anonymous accounts, but that's not so exciting. The best part
00:02:40.300 for me are the meltdown takes from MPs, liberals, NDP, you know, also journalists, journalists,
00:02:46.760 of course, the lefty journalists, never to miss their chance to pile on to conservatives.
00:02:51.040 They got in on the action too. And some of the reactions are hilarious. But anyway,
00:02:54.560 before we get into that, let's play the endorsement first. This is what Alex Jones had to say about
00:02:58.640 Pierre Polyev, who keep in mind, he doesn't even remember the name of. So keep that in mind when
00:03:03.180 you watch this endorsement. But that's why they're censoring us. The internet's saying nobody knows
00:03:08.120 who first coined it is. If the situation was hopeless, the propaganda would not be necessary.
00:03:13.340 So as negative as things are, we got Bolsonaro, we got Georgia Moroni in Italy, we've got the
00:03:20.960 new Canadian leader set to beat Trudeau, who's totally anti-New World Order. I mean, you look
00:03:27.060 all over the world, we are rising right now. But that concerns me, because the deep state globalists
00:03:32.080 are going to throw out... We got Bolsonaro, we got Georgia Moroni, we got that, what's his name,
00:03:39.040 new Canadian leader who said to beat Trudeau, who's totally anti-New World Order. Alex Jones,
00:03:44.580 how was my Alex Jones impression? Let me know also in the comments. So there you go. He doesn't even
00:03:48.260 remember Pierre Polyev's name. He's like scratching his head trying to figure it out.
00:03:51.760 But of course, to the left, it's hardly an endorsement, right? But to the left,
00:03:54.960 it's an opportunity, and they'll never miss the opportunity to pile on to conservatives.
00:03:58.380 They totally pounced on this and totally lost their minds. Some of the takes are hilarious.
00:04:02.260 So Press Progress, which is a far-left blog funded by the Broadbent Institute, which is backed by the
00:04:07.460 NDP, of course they pounced on this and made a big deal about far-right Alex Jones endorsing
00:04:14.260 the Pierre Polyev, who must be, must be, a far-right dangerous leader. The headline reads,
00:04:19.520 Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones praises conservative leader Pierre Polyev.
00:04:24.080 Yes, he praises Pierre Polyev so much so that he doesn't even know his name.
00:04:28.680 What praise? I wish I could get praise like that. And then the first line of the article shows you
00:04:34.140 exactly where they're coming from. Pierre Polyev has earned a new admirer, conspiracy theorist Alex
00:04:38.620 Jones. And then later on in the Press Progress article, they write this,
00:04:42.660 Polyev has repeatedly used rhetoric, alluding to conspiratorial ideas popular among the online
00:04:47.500 far-right related to the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset. Polyev's office did not respond
00:04:52.620 to requests for comment from Press Progress about Jones' expression of support or compassion between
00:04:57.380 Polyev and far-right leaders like Bolsonaro and Maloney. What's Polyev even going to say? I mean,
00:05:02.680 come on, it's not like Polyev asked Alex Jones for an endorsement. A politician can't control
00:05:06.900 who endorses them. What do you think? Did they think Polyev called up Alex Jones and was like,
00:05:11.060 Alex, buddy, you got to endorse me on your next episode. I'm just hoping for that Alex Jones
00:05:15.560 endorsement. It's the one thing I know that's going to get me over the line. I mean, come on,
00:05:18.980 it's just absolutely ludicrous. But of course, we're not done there. Let's go to Twitter. All 0.70
00:05:23.740 right, let's go to Twitter to check out some of these hilarious reactions. One of the most vocal
00:05:27.860 and annoying liberal MPs on Twitter, Mark Gerritsen, you'll definitely know who I'm talking
00:05:32.500 about if you're on the platform. He's basically tweeting 24-7 all day long. Of course,
00:05:36.280 you got in on this action. So Mark Gerritsen writes this on Twitter. It's hard not to think
00:05:41.060 at Pierre Polyev as an alt-right populist when you stumble upon something like this.
00:05:45.280 Alex Jones, arguably one of the most alt-right commentators out there, considers PP one of
00:05:49.820 his crusaders. Calm down there, Mark. Calm down there, buddy. Again, like I was saying before,
00:05:59.460 you can hardly be considered a crusader under Alex Jones's Infowars if Alex Jones doesn't even
00:06:05.280 know your name. All right. And he doesn't even know how to say Maloney, let alone Pierre Polyev,
00:06:10.360 which most people to this day still don't know how to say. They keep saying Polliver.
00:06:14.780 We've got Charlie Angus of the NDP, also a very annoying person on Twitter. He writes,
00:06:20.320 the man who has terrorized the families that lost children at Sandy Hook is now pitching for Pierre
00:06:24.400 Polyev, the face of the Conservative Party in 2022. What is that supposed to be that Alex Jones is the face
00:06:31.020 of the Conservative Party? I'm not really sure I get that because obviously Pierre Polyev is the leader of the
00:06:34.960 Conservative Party, but oh, all of a sudden, Alex Jones, who once again doesn't know his name,
00:06:41.100 is the face of the Conservative Party of 2022. Oh, I'm so scared, Charlie. I'm so scared. You're
00:06:45.740 right. I'm just going to drop what I'm doing and I'm going to vote for Jagmeet Singh and the NDP.
00:06:49.480 They're much better. Adam Vancouverton, the Liberal MP, also got into the mix. He's famous for telling a
00:06:54.980 constituent who was voicing her opinions about the vaccine mandate to F off, right? That Adam
00:07:01.000 Vancouverton. Well, he chimed in as well on Twitter. Good to know where Alex Jones, one of the most vile
00:07:05.760 alt-right commentators and conspiracy theory peddling lunatics on the planet, stands on the
00:07:09.720 new Conservative leader. Spoiler, he's a big fan. Big fan who doesn't know his name. Huge fan. Huge
00:07:15.880 fan. That's right, Adam Vancouverton. Alex Jones is just a huge fan of Pierre Polyev. One of the
00:07:20.520 funnier things I saw was when on Twitter did a whole deep dive analysis on the video. She was trying to, 0.97
00:07:26.780 you know, do her little journalistic thing where she does a fact check on Alex Jones's video just
00:07:31.640 to confirm what we all know that, of course, he was talking about Pierre Polyev. Rachel Gilmore
00:07:36.840 writes, in this clip, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones appears to be backing a new Canadian leader who he
00:07:42.540 says is set to beat Trudeau and is totally anti-New World Order. And then she writes underneath,
00:07:46.800 I've independently verified this clip. It's from Alex Jones's show that was posted on October 1st.
00:07:51.340 There was only one new Canadian leader who was polling higher than Trudeau, and that's Pierre Polyev.
00:07:54.940 And then she writes as well, Joe doesn't say his name though, so you can't be sure that's who he
00:07:58.980 meant. Actually, you're totally right, Rachel. We really don't know who he's talking about. He
00:08:02.440 could be talking about the Green Party leader, Amita Kuttner. Now, truth is, I'm not going to sit
00:08:06.920 here and all of a sudden praise Alex Jones. That's not what this segment is about. Really,
00:08:11.360 all I'm doing is just trying to tell you that it is hilarious that when Alex Jones, a American 0.57
00:08:17.760 commentator who really has no impact on the Canadian electorate whatsoever, when Alex Jones,
00:08:22.660 an American commentator, tacitly endorses Pierre Polyev. Once again, remember, he doesn't even say
00:08:27.920 his name because he doesn't remember his name. So when he says that, the left freak out. They lose
00:08:33.260 their minds completely, like they tried to lose their minds about the handshake with the Diagilon
00:08:38.640 guy at the Polyev rally. Once again, when that one didn't stick, they tried something else. They
00:08:44.120 tried to get the Alex Jones endorsement. That's really going to do it for them. That's obviously not
00:08:48.320 going to stick as well. Like, oh my God. And Alex Jones endorsement. I can't imagine anything worse.
00:08:52.740 It's terrible stuff. And Alex Jones endorsement, it's almost nearly like working for and being
00:08:58.700 endorsed by a prime minister who's worn blackface more time than he can remember. I, again, like I
00:09:04.660 would much prefer to work for a guy who is known to wear blackface more times than he can remember 0.97
00:09:09.660 than be endorsed by a horrible, evil, far-right, alt-right guy like Alex Jones. This is what they're 0.81
00:09:16.060 trying to do with Pierre Polyev, and it's clearly not working. Their efforts, although admirable,
00:09:20.520 I will give it to them. They are trying really hard. Journalists, liberal MPs, NDP MPs, they're all
00:09:25.100 working together, what a surprise they are, to try and push this message that Pierre Polyev is a
00:09:29.600 dangerous, far-right, populist, scary figure. They're going to try, but they're obviously not going to be
00:09:34.880 able to succeed. That's because Pierre Polyev isn't one of those people. He isn't one of those people.
00:09:39.940 He is a establishment conservative politician. He's a conservative that knows how to read the tea leaves of
00:09:45.780 the country. He's found the right time, the right window, but really, are we pretending as though
00:09:50.100 Pierre Polyev is this dangerous, far-right menace? He's been a conservative MP since 2004. Look, you
00:09:55.860 can't control who endorses you. It's not up in your control. Pierre Polyev doesn't control the media in
00:10:00.840 the United States the same way Justin Trudeau controls the media in Canada. So again, you really
00:10:05.160 can't do much about that endorsement. Anyway, speaking of the Prime Minister, let's get into what he was up to
00:10:10.560 over the weekend. So this is our very serious Prime Minister. Like we always say on this program,
00:10:15.380 we want to reiterate, our Prime Minister, as we all know, is a very serious guy. This is our very
00:10:19.000 serious Prime Minister. Definitely not checked out of the job as Prime Minister, enjoying some
00:10:24.240 much-deserved time off over the weekend. Looking at the highway. You got this. You're in a good
00:10:30.760 position in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
00:10:34.580 Wow, Justin Trudeau, guys. He must be the hardest working guy in all of Canada, right? He never
00:10:57.480 takes time off just for himself. He never takes time to, you know, have some family time, have some time
00:11:03.180 to reflect. He's always busy working for the people. He must be the hardest working guy in
00:11:07.940 Canadian politics. Another weekend goes by and this guy seems to always be doing something that
00:11:12.420 doesn't involve being Prime Minister. It's like he doesn't actually care about being the Prime
00:11:16.320 Minister. He's always doing something else. I just, I don't think we've seen videos of Stephen
00:11:22.420 Harper bungee jumping off of these structures and, you know, doing these different things and dancing
00:11:28.600 and getting dressed up. You just don't see it and that's the problem, right? You just don't see it
00:11:33.240 from the other guys but you always see it from Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau, he's got impeccable
00:11:37.100 timing. He knows exactly when to take time off, right? And the story gets a little bit more
00:11:42.960 interesting about taking time off this weekend. I guess it was his son's birthday again. You can have
00:11:47.040 some respect for that. You can have some understanding for that. Turns out, however, that Justin Trudeau,
00:11:52.040 along with Melanie Jolie, the Foreign Minister in Canada, they were given an invitation by the
00:11:58.500 organizers of the Richmond Hill Iranian protest. Now, this protest took place over the weekend.
00:12:03.920 50,000 people walked along Richmond Hill in support of the protests in Iran, in support of their fight
00:12:10.020 for freedom and to call out the IRGC for the morality police killing of Massa Amini, the horrible 0.75
00:12:17.500 killing that took place. Well, Justin Trudeau was invited to attend that protest and to speak.
00:12:23.000 It turns out that not only did Justin Trudeau, of course, not show up to that protest, didn't speak
00:12:27.440 at that protest, he didn't even acknowledge the invitation given to him by the organizers. He
00:12:32.260 didn't even have the courtesy to say that he wasn't going to be able to make it, he was going to be in
00:12:36.420 Quebec bungee jumping with his son. In terms of politicians, you know, we invited politicians from all
00:12:43.100 levels of government. At the federal level, we invited the leaders of the three major political
00:12:47.780 parties. The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada changed his plans for the weekend and came
00:12:53.380 and we're very grateful to him for having done that. We issued an invitation to the Prime Minister
00:12:58.020 and to the Foreign Minister Jolie. Regrettably, they didn't come and they didn't even acknowledge
00:13:03.180 our invitation and that's been a real disappointment for us. And it just seems as though the Prime Minister
00:13:08.300 loves to take time off. And we're allowed to, we're allowed to call it out. I mean, he is our Prime
00:13:12.680 Minister after all. We know how hard he works. He's a very serious guy, very hard worker, as we all
00:13:17.060 know. But let's get into some of the reactions because they are pretty good. You guys had some
00:13:20.300 great comments on this video. This video was posted on a lot of social media accounts. A lot of people
00:13:25.960 made fun of it. I want to pull some of the comments you guys had from my video. And I also want to say
00:13:30.880 there's a lot of pro-Trudeau people in my comments these days. I'm not sure if you guys are all
00:13:36.020 starting to, you know, converge on my videos or whatever. But you guys really pipe up when I take
00:13:41.660 shots at our Prime Minister. It hasn't gone on notice. Let me just say that. Anyway, this is the
00:13:46.880 video and I posted it and it got a bunch of comments and we're going to go through some of the best ones
00:13:51.240 here. Interesting how his million man security team allowed this yet it is too dangerous to attend
00:13:55.420 Parliament or to talk to Canadians. Yes, wouldn't it be great if Justin Trudeau would, you know, face the
00:14:01.120 public, face the opposition in Parliament? He doesn't usually do that. He's doing it about
00:14:05.660 once a week now. Definitely hasn't checked out though, right? Definitely hasn't checked out of
00:14:09.680 his job. Or this one. If only he worked more than he played, but alas, it is the other way around.
00:14:14.540 If only he just convinced Canadians that you actually work hard. Like, I'm sure you don't 0.72
00:14:18.640 actually have to work that hard, but can you at least try to convince us that you work hard?
00:14:23.680 And this person comes in with a pretty good take, I have to say. I don't care what he does on his day
00:14:27.800 off, just that he has so many of them. Yes, exactly. Like, you can have a day off, but how many days off
00:14:32.620 is this guy getting? I think we can all agree, guys, that if Justin Trudeau worked as hard as
00:14:37.340 he played, then I think maybe the country would be in a better place. But then again, the thought
00:14:42.040 also comes up that perhaps the fact that Justin Trudeau isn't working so hard is actually good
00:14:46.240 for Canadians. Take your time, man. Take your time. Enjoy your vacation. Enjoy your time off. It's tough
00:14:50.680 to know which side you really want to be on. You want the Prime Minister to work hard and not be a
00:14:54.680 laughingstock of the world. But on the other hand, you kind of think to yourself, well, maybe it's not so bad
00:14:59.560 if you just take your time off and leave it up to the other people. What do you guys think in the
00:15:04.680 comments? Let me know. Do you want the Prime Minister to work hard or do you want him to just
00:15:07.380 keep playing around? Let me know in the comments. Here we go, guys. Ratio of the Week time. And
00:15:12.760 it's the 20th episode of Ratio. It's a special milestone. Hope for many more, of course. But I
00:15:18.520 thought we had to do something good on the 20th episode of Ratio. I thought we had to leave the
00:15:22.240 episode with a bang. And all I will say is, ladies and gentlemen, we got him. We got the big fish in the
00:15:28.340 pond for the big prize. That it being, of course, the Ratio of the Week award. Ladies and gentlemen,
00:15:34.480 give it up for Justin Trudeau, the winner of the Ratio of the Week award this week. Well-deserved,
00:15:40.440 well-earned. Believe me, he really deserves this one for this doozy he put out on Twitter
00:15:45.260 on October 2nd. He writes, newspapers keep people informed, hold governments accountable,
00:15:50.840 and help protect democracy. These are not small tasks. This hashtag National Newspaper Week.
00:15:56.920 Let us celebrate these champions of the truth for providing Canadians with reliable and credible
00:16:02.380 information. Thank you. Oh, and because I love the newspapers so much, here is a bunch of cash
00:16:07.560 to keep me unaccountable and to oppose the opposition. If you keep doing that, that'll be
00:16:12.300 perfect. Right-hit pieces against my political opponents, oppose the opposition in Parliament,
00:16:17.500 and keep me unaccountable. You do that, then I will keep, Ben, I will keep giving you money.
00:16:22.200 It's just perfect, right? I mean, what did he really think writing a tweet like that? The whole
00:16:26.900 legacy media bailout first started with the newspapers. Before he decided to start eventually
00:16:31.500 bailing out the legacy media television stations, he first started by shoveling cash to Toronto Star,
00:16:38.820 the National Post, all of these legacy media newspapers, which have essentially done nothing
00:16:44.020 at all to hold Justin Trudeau to account. Exactly what he was looking for. So why wouldn't he be
00:16:48.820 supportive? I'm sure he loves Canada's newspapers. In fact, they're some of the only allies I'm sure
00:16:53.540 he can really rely on. Of course, the comments are absolutely scathing, absolutely brilliant from you
00:16:59.060 guys. You guys never miss with this stuff, really. And this person writes, I had to triple check that
00:17:03.560 this wasn't one of the many parody accounts of you. What a joke. Resign. Yeah, exactly. It's not the
00:17:09.840 Justin Trudeau's ego account. That's a great, that's a great parody account, I have to say. Whoever runs
00:17:14.020 that, good on you, man. But this is not a parody account. This is legitimately from Justin Trudeau's
00:17:18.780 Twitter account. Unreal. Takes some nerve to write a tweet like that, doesn't it? Take a look at this
00:17:22.840 cartoon someone made. This is awesome, by the way. Whoever made this, I don't know if this is you
00:17:27.280 who commented who made this, but this is awesome. Great visual here. And this person kind of sums it
