00:00:00.000 Well, the on-again, off-again trade talks between the United States and Canada are back
00:00:09.520 on with Prime Minister Carney and President Trump holding informal talks over the phone.
00:00:16.260 Trump says a framework for a new deal is in the works that would allow American dairy
00:00:21.520 farmers tariff-free access to Canadian markets.
00:00:24.660 One thing we didn't talk about is the fact that our farmers were paying tremendous tariffs
00:00:30.640 to send things to Canada. All those tariffs will be gone. There will be no tariffs. There will be
00:00:36.600 no tariffs. They were paying as much as 400 percent for milk products and other things. So
00:00:41.960 part of the agreement is that our farmers will have to pay no tariffs.
00:00:46.600 Trump says the deal also calls for Canada to complete construction of the Keystone pipeline.
00:00:52.980 Mark Carney is on record as saying he will be willing to wait for a new U.S. administration
00:00:58.300 to negotiate a trade deal if he has to.
00:01:01.080 So another way of asking it would be, you're willing to wait for the next U.S. president
00:01:05.380 if that's what it takes?
00:01:06.820 Well, we'll have to if that's what it takes, yeah. 0.69
00:01:09.020 American families, American businesses will also lose out because of that.
00:01:14.260 They're not winners in this circumstance.
00:01:16.660 Every month that goes by, Canada grows stronger, our options increase.
00:01:22.180 Ultimately, we'll be a better partner for the United States.
00:01:24.740 That's not why we're doing this.
00:01:26.460 We're doing this to create more opportunity for Canadians.
00:01:30.240 Carney walked away from an opposed trade agreement last August.
00:01:34.460 Conservative leader Pierre Polyev says Carney has the luxury of waiting.
00:01:39.500 Canadian workers do not.
00:01:41.560 The Prime Minister promised in the last election he would get an even better deal than we had before.
00:01:46.520 He's broken that promise so far.
00:01:48.660 The economy is collapsing.
00:01:51.220 People are losing their jobs.
00:01:52.980 Canadians are losing their homes.
00:01:54.620 People can't afford to buy groceries.
00:01:58.460 And it's time for Mr. Carney to put the big talk in the past and deliver real results.
00:02:05.460 I noticed that he said the other day he can wait another two and a half years.
00:02:09.320 Of course he can.
00:02:10.700 He's got 90% of his investments in the U.S.
00:02:13.920 But you know who can't wait another two and a half years?
00:02:16.580 The auto workers that I meet regularly with in Windsor.
00:02:20.780 The small business owners, the aluminum recruiters who are worried they're going to have countless layoffs, the 800 Quebecers who are losing their jobs every day, they can't afford to wait another two and a half years for Mark Carney to keep his promise to get a great deal with the United States.
00:02:41.360 All this comes as Americans go to the polls. Our guest today is Matt Mercer with Breitbart News. Welcome, Matt.
00:02:49.420 Hey, Mark, good to be back on with you.
00:02:52.040 Coming to us from Raleigh, North Carolina, which, as I understand, it will be particularly
00:02:56.420 challenging for the Republicans in the midterms.
00:02:59.460 What's your sense of how things look now on the cusp of that election for the GOP?
00:03:05.540 Yes, certainly, at least here in North Carolina, Democrats have done a good job to their credit
00:03:11.100 organizing.
00:03:11.940 I think one of the famous things I kind of go with is something I heard a football coach
00:03:16.440 say in a press conference one time, is that the other side gets paid to make plays too. And so
00:03:21.640 I think to their credit, Democrats have harnessed the enthusiasm and anger that they have at
00:03:27.520 President Trump to send a message in the midterms. And it's really incumbent upon Republicans to
00:03:32.920 answer that with a big showing on Tuesday. I think does that happen remains to be seen.
00:03:37.960 But Democrats are certainly crowing, especially here in North Carolina and a couple other states
00:03:43.340 about their prospects. The Democrat, as you know, in Michigan just endorsed the Republican, Rogers,
00:03:50.780 and claims she, I guess she voted, her mother voted for Rogers. I guess this speaks to the
00:03:56.740 split really in the Democrat Party right now between the radical, really, the Islamist group
00:04:03.060 that seems to be ascendant in that party and people who want to hold on to the old Democrat
00:04:08.600 Party. Is that it? Yeah, I think it's really a case of when you nominate a Muslim socialist who
00:04:16.500 hates Western values and is more or less anti-Semitic, you really get a reaction from
00:04:22.980 people who don't feel that way. And I think Abdul El-Sayed is a uniquely terrible candidate
00:04:27.980 who is really pushing through a far-left agenda in the U.S. And I think his connections to the
00:04:34.980 Muslim Brotherhood and overseas is something that even centrist and left Democrats who still like
00:04:41.480 the state of Israel and a lot of Jewish voters think that is just going to be a bridge too far.
00:04:45.820 And so it's a matter of candidate quality does still matter. And he is uniquely terrible for
00:04:51.000 the time period. But because of the everything is nationalized now, he could still win. And
00:04:56.220 that's a really scary thought for our country. Yeah, Tallarico as well. Apparently,
00:05:02.440 the Republican there is not that popular, Ken Paxton. And so that seems to be kind of a razor
00:05:12.480 thin margin one way or another. So that should be a challenge. I mean, if the Republican,
00:05:16.940 if the Democrats were to flip Texas, I think that would be a huge boost for them, wouldn't it?
00:05:22.060 It certainly would. And I think that Republicans have really gone all in to keep that seat that
00:05:27.780 hasn't had a Democrat elected to it since 1988. And Ken Paxton has won statewide. He's faced a
00:05:33.840 lot of challenges. He's still overcoming a very bloody primary against incumbent Senator John
00:05:39.560 Cornyn, where he had over $130 million spent against him before he even got to the general
00:05:44.960 election. And so I think what you're seeing is Republicans have had to undo a lot of that and
00:05:49.820 then turn around and boost Paxton while also taking on Tallarico. And I've made this point
00:05:55.380 on a couple other shows as well is that if there's one silver lining in the kind of the dark clouds
00:06:01.160 for the for the GOP here in the U.S. it's that the attention put on these Democrats that are
00:06:07.280 running has been good because it exposes just how far left they are and the sort of views that they
00:06:12.500 have the one that I really point to is I think James Tallarico is a heretic because he goes
00:06:18.640 around quoting Jesus saying God's non-binary and he has a favorite drag queen but the Democrat in
00:06:23.940 Kansas, Adam Hamilton runs a 24,000 member Methodist church, and he was a key figure in
00:06:29.880 the split in the Methodist church here in the U.S. in 2019. And so when you look at the reach that he
00:06:36.820 has, it's a lot scarier than just Tallarico, who is the media darling, that Hamilton is out with
00:06:42.900 this 24,000 person church, you know, saying a lot of the very same things that Tallarico is. And so
00:06:48.660 I think that being exposed and brought to light is going to be critical for Republicans as we get
00:06:53.520 to election day.
00:06:54.980 Yeah, I mean, that radicalism, as it emerges, will help drive turnout for the
00:07:00.200 Republicans, which, you know, during a midterm election where you're, you know,
00:07:04.900 you've got the presidency and Congress, you know, might not be that great for a
00:07:08.840 lot of people who are still concerned about pocketbook issues like gas prices
00:07:13.060 and so forth.
00:07:14.360 That's the complaints, that's the nature of the complaints that I've heard here
00:07:18.480 in Florida amongst my friends, Americans, who, some of whom were thinking of not
00:07:22.780 bothering to vote. But finally, I think that they were pushed to the polls, essentially, by hearing
00:07:29.320 some of the crazy things that were coming out of the Democrat Party and seeing some of the
00:07:34.960 possibilities. I mean, do you go back to open borders? Do you go back to the green, the net
00:07:40.800 zero grift that we've had in Canada for all these years? I mean, I keep warning Americans that carbon
00:07:45.920 taxes could be coming here, depending on who you vote for. They don't even know what carbon taxes
00:07:50.040 are that's sort of thing that you have in canada and in europe and other places like that so we'll
00:07:55.320 have to see how it all turns out what's your sense of the trump factor i mean he's been very active
00:08:03.400 and you know he gets a lot of people out gets people pumped up i mean will he and his uh
00:08:11.240 appearances before tens of thousands of americans over the campaign will that turn the tide for the
00:08:17.640 Republicans, do you think? Yeah, I think for President Trump's case and Vice President Vance
00:08:23.680 as well, President Trump has done 29 rallies since October 1st, just continuing to do what he's done
00:08:30.340 in every election since he came onto the national scene here in the U.S. a decade ago. And I think
00:08:35.840 it's only due to him and the energy that he brings is that it's even this close for Republicans. He
00:08:41.340 is making the case for why Republicans should maintain control of Congress better than a lot
00:08:46.560 of the candidates themselves, which is an indictment of, I think, a lot of the current
00:08:50.340 elected officials that they think they can just rely on President Trump to do everything for them.
00:08:55.780 That's not the case. President Trump has taken this midterm a lot more serious than I think
00:09:00.300 other presidents have over the course of the last several decades, which is, to his credit,
00:09:04.720 he wants to see his party win and do well. But ultimately, he can't do it himself. He needs
00:09:09.620 candidates who are carrying that same message. And I think some have been more effective than
00:09:13.820 others and how that shakes out you know i think we'll see on election day um from a canadian
00:09:19.140 canadian perspective obviously that's concerned about the trade deal and we've had a prime
00:09:24.520 minister says well i can wait you know if if i can't get a deal with a trump then i'll have to
00:09:30.420 wait for the next president and so they're talking again at least on the phone and we're getting an
00:09:36.640 inclination but it's hard to tell because we've been here before so many times you know it's just
00:09:41.240 been on again off again in terms of talks and of course the last uh discussion broke down in august
00:09:48.360 where it looked like there was a deal on the table and mark carney walked away from it um how do you
00:09:53.640 see that as moving forward after the midterms yeah i certainly think it's no coincidence that
00:10:00.680 prime minister carney talks about re reengaging and talks with the u.s after the eu put him in
00:10:06.360 the friend zone and said, we like you as a friend, but not to do anything more. I think it's no
00:10:11.620 coincidence that Prime Minister Carney now, as the midterm is days away, looks to re-engage what
00:10:17.940 he thinks will be a strength in hand thanks to his DNC operatives and his government. And I think
00:10:23.040 what you're seeing is that President Trump's administration was proven correct and that the
00:10:27.440 current trajectory since he walked away from the deal was unsustainable for Canadians and President
00:10:33.360 Trump is still willing to come back to the table and make a deal. And that I think is something
00:10:37.260 that may not have gotten the play that it needed to, is that no one feels angry at the Canadian
00:10:43.860 people. I think we're angry at Carney's government for how he's conducted himself. But everyone wants
00:10:49.860 to continue to trade and not be put in a position of cheesing the U.S. or Canada. I think a deal is
00:10:55.740 good for everyone. And that's all President Trump has been saying. And it's up to Prime Minister
00:11:00.600 Kearney to actually come back and make that deal final. Is there any unease around the coziness
00:11:07.940 that Kearney seems to have with Democrat Party people, politicians, people like Obama, for
00:11:15.300 instance? Clinton, Bill Clinton came out recently and called Kearney a friend and somebody known
00:11:21.300 for a number of years. The fact that Kearney has appointed an American, Maya Johnson, to be
00:11:27.680 a key advisor. Is there any sense that this guy is playing favorites, that he's already thrown in
00:11:34.500 with the Democrats and maybe doing everything he can to try and, you know, push the balance,
00:11:41.100 tip the balance over to the Democrat side in the midterms?
00:11:46.300 Yeah, I think the people who know that and who hear that message get rightly upset by it.
00:11:51.860 I don't know that it's really penetrated through in a meaningful way. I think you still have,
00:11:56.120 you know, the pre-Trump, pre-Trump-GOP conservative commentators who may not actually be
00:12:01.860 conservative, who want to go back to the way things were before Trump came along. And they've
00:12:05.800 actually sided with Prime Minister Carney and their government. I think someone like Eric Erickson
00:12:10.260 here in the U.S. is one example of that, you know, talking about how President Trump should just take
00:12:14.860 all the tariffs off, you know, despite him campaigning on and following through on his
00:12:19.340 promise of rebalancing trade, of renew, of reviewing the USMCA deal. I think all the things
00:12:25.100 president trump has wanted to do he's worked on getting done and it's not his fault the response
00:12:30.060 he's gotten from it from it i think the two countries canada and china who have threw on
00:12:35.180 the retaliatory tariffs have seen that it hasn't helped them near as much as they thought it would
00:12:39.580 and i think other countries have made deals that have been good for them i think south korea is an
00:12:44.220 example i think you look at several countries in europe as well who have made deals that have been
00:12:48.620 beneficial for both sides because at the end that's all president trump wanted to do was do
00:12:53.980 things that present things on a more favorable term for Americans, especially bringing back
00:12:59.380 manufacturing in some of the key areas that we still need it. And I think the people most opposed
00:13:05.020 to President Trump have never liked him anyway, have never supported his policies, and will look
00:13:09.260 for any reason to continue behaving that way. I mean, the energy deal that he signed with Europe
00:13:14.360 has proven to be very successful. I mean, all of a sudden, the U.S. is like a main supplier of
00:13:21.340 energy to Europe, and I think that's something that Americans will benefit from for many decades
00:13:26.060 ahead. Do you want to take a stab at guessing what's going to happen? I mean, obviously,
00:13:32.380 you're not going to tell me to the seat, but do you think that the Republicans will hold on to,
00:13:38.220 say, the Senate, or is this going to be a Democrat Congress?
00:13:44.460 I think there's a very good chance Republicans will be able to maintain
00:13:47.660 And I would even argue there is an example out there of essentially flipping the seats in North Carolina and Michigan and staying exactly at the current margins.
00:13:57.460 I think Republicans will likely end up with 51 or 52 seats in the Senate.
00:14:02.340 The House is a different story because those kind of do move more in synchronization with one another.
00:14:08.340 And if you've got this shift towards Democrats, it's not going to be a lot because of the redistricting and everything else.
00:14:14.560 I mean, you're probably looking at no more than probably 225 seats if Democrats do win on Tuesday night of maintaining that balance in the House.
00:14:24.380 And that's not a very big margin at all.
00:14:27.300 And I think people have forgotten that as with special elections, retirements and everything else, Republicans have essentially been operating with the two seat majority for the majority of the last two years.
00:14:37.720 That's not a lot, especially when you have someone like Thomas Massey, who was kind of fixated on opposing everything President Trump wanted to do anyway.
00:14:45.760 So now you're talking about a one seat majority.
00:14:48.060 So it's flipping it from control is not going to take a lot of seats.
00:14:52.980 You know, I would love to see Republicans be able to hold on because I think it's better governance for the country.
00:14:57.520 But if it goes that way, I think you will deal with it the same way that President Trump did in his first term when he lost both when he lost the House and kept the Senate that time in 2018.
00:15:07.260 Yeah, that was a big result for the Democrats, but we'll have to say this one.
00:15:10.840 I mean, they all talked, all the polls suggest a blue wave, at least they did.
00:15:15.460 But then I'm hearing like a lot of the early voting has been very positive for the Republicans.
00:15:21.020 So it'll be an interesting result.
00:15:23.520 I'll be keeping an eye on that.
00:15:25.860 I imagine that the first day back, once the dust settles on the midterms,
00:15:31.400 people will be talking about succession for the Republicans.
00:15:33.880 I saw a poll today that had Rubio ahead by, I think, 10 points over J.D. Vance, which is a little bit of an eye-opener, but he certainly has acquitted himself very well as Secretary of State. Do you see the contest for succession immediately after the midterms?
00:15:52.800 I think you will see it on the Democrat side. I think you'll see candidates within a couple days start announcing their intentions to go run. I think Democrats will probably end up with 20 to 25 candidates running at some point.
00:16:07.000 I think the Republican field will take a little bit longer before you really start seeing those folks come out just based on conversations that I've had with people.
00:16:16.580 I think you're going to look at a little bit longer time for that to happen.
00:16:19.020 But for Democrats, they're going to have to jump through so many hoops with all of their competing factions and the DSA and really what shapes up there.
00:16:26.840 And that's why I think they feel like the first people out there will want to state their position further to the left than the next person.
00:16:33.920 And it's going to be a very interesting battle.
00:16:37.000 Right. And you were guessing, man, would you say it's going to be a lame duck presidency? It's hard to imagine that with Trump in the White House. But what do you think?
00:16:45.320 No, I don't think so. I think politics, you know, it does move and leaders do eventually move on. But President Trump has proven himself to be such a unique force in American politics that he will have a more active last couple years of his presidency than I think others have.
00:17:02.320 And I think when you're talking about President Trump, there's certainly the he's looking for the legacy moments and the things that he can do, because, again, he did not have to run for president and do this job.
00:17:13.260 He had a very comfortable life. He gave up before he did this.
00:17:16.120 And so he's really looking at what he can do for the country, not just during his term, but for the longer term and really looking at what is going to make generational impact.
00:17:25.200 And I think he will be able to find ways to do that, that I think a lot of people maybe haven't thought of that I haven't thought of or anyone else to really cement that and do things to carry on that America First banner that he has so proudly carried for so long.
