Juno News - Legacy media CAUGHT on HOT MIC admitting Harper was RIGHT

00:00:00.000 well you have to listen very carefully but it's there the words he's right picked up on a hot

00:00:10.720 mic spoken by someone on the ctv news panel desk after watching part of a speech delivered by

00:00:18.020 former prime minister stephen harper a conservative a bit of an eye-opener given how notoriously

00:00:24.480 liberal friendly the broadcaster's coverage has been over the years in his speech harper makes it

00:00:30.640 clear that president trump is not to blame for all the problems facing canada our government bears

00:00:37.160 much of the responsibility let's listen but we must do so also clearly understanding that by all the

00:00:45.340 critical measures of international relations america will still remain our principal partner in the

00:00:51.280 world our national conversation must be mature enough to acknowledge that many of the difficulties

00:00:57.760 we now face as a country cannot be blamed on donald trump in too many cases they stem from bad decisions

00:01:05.920 by our own government well there it is he's right you have to really strain to hear it but uh michelle

00:01:13.020 a ferrari she did hear it she's a former member of parliament conservative political commentator

00:01:18.860 he joins us today welcome michelle thank you so much mark yeah it was like well there it is it's

00:01:24.980 like a whisper he's right and it's a i think it's a female voice um but i think you know i will say of

00:01:32.680 all the mainstream media ctv like i actually think bashi does a pretty a pretty good job um when you

00:01:39.620 compare her to say david cochran or rosie barton so i'm not surprised it was ctv um that said this but

00:01:47.420 hey mark we live in the world war does it even matter if you're right because we live in la la land

00:01:52.440 right like yeah we do and we live in a land in which much of the media is subsidized yes by the

00:02:00.500 government it's not just cvc anymore you used to call them the privates you know you had the cvc

00:02:06.540 then you had the privates where i worked for many years but they're not so private anymore because when

00:02:11.520 you look at some of the well hundreds of millions of dollars for the almost 600 million dollars in

00:02:17.860 basically bailout money i mean papers like the toronto star get you know millions of dollars

00:02:24.880 every year and many of these outlets would not survive were it not for government money they owe

00:02:30.300 you know uh mark carney great debt of gratitude they owe justin trudeau and so over the course of

00:02:37.340 time they become even more liberal is that fair oh it's totally fair and if you saw the broadcast

00:02:44.400 it was the media producers group that was live streaming on cpac and he got up to say his speech

00:02:50.040 i can pull it up if you want i can't remember his name right now but he was the president i believe and

00:02:54.560 he said mark carney we have your back so it was like a full-blown confession of liberal media bias and

00:03:02.100 then cpac consequently scrubbed that after um i believe it was like a woman on twitter or x melanie

00:03:10.440 from saskatchewan that originally got it up and then um rachel thomas who's a conservative member of

00:03:16.000 parliament actually referenced it when we were at the conservative convention as she was uh putting

00:03:21.300 forth a policy she was supporting a policy to stop subsidizing media basically yeah it's embarrassing

00:03:27.600 you're you're talking about reynolds maston the cco of the cmpa the you got it yeah thank you

00:03:34.100 association and yeah they did scrub it they did best they could to try to make it go away but you

00:03:40.820 know when something's on the internet someone's gonna grab it and so it's been making the rounds and

00:03:46.760 i think they need to come out and disassociate themselves you know just say you know maybe reynolds

00:03:53.180 wasn't uh entirely sober when he said it makes a kind of an excuse but uh but there it was you're

00:03:59.680 back and we know you've got ours and you've got our our back because you keep pumping tax dollars

00:04:06.660 to failing media organizations it's a big problem mark like it's it's a huge problem and you know you

00:04:13.340 see uh cbs in the states has finally come on and said listen we don't have the public trust anymore

00:04:18.640 we're going to try to fix this and i actually think that's the only path forward in canada or

00:04:23.820 to stop you either you either have to put in some kind of accountability measure like when i grew up

00:04:29.560 cbc was great it was great um and it's just it's just completely bonkers like even the woman who beat

00:04:36.980 me she's a liberal mp the woman who now works in her office that used to put me on the front page of

00:04:42.260 the paper when i was an mp worked for the local media now she works in the liberal mp's office like

00:04:47.840 and there's nothing nothing is being covered for the liberal mp holding her to account so

00:04:52.280 it's a big big problem in terms of what people are getting and how they're able to make informed

00:04:57.360 decisions because they're not getting the right information as you mentioned you were defeated in

00:05:01.640 the last election and well a lot of people i'm sure in your writing would love to see you take

00:05:08.100 another shot there's a lot of talk about an election in may i mean that seems to be the whisper

00:05:15.020 a month you know like he's right well hey election we'll have to see if that actually happens are you

00:05:21.880 hearing that and might you take another shot another run at the election office so two two answers to

00:05:29.640 those two questions listen the whole time i was elected everybody talked about an election so i'm a

00:05:36.320 little like okay yeah like it was constantly there's going to be an election there's going to be an election

00:05:41.000 but if you think about the rationale of why mark carney would call an election uh it does make sense

00:05:47.200 for him to call it sooner than later before kuzman negotiations come forward and he can't sort of

00:05:52.060 exploit the emotion that donald trump evicts as we've seen like that's what he's run on that's how

00:05:56.560 he won the last election he promised all these things and even in his uh olympic address today again

00:06:02.540 he's he's he's digging into the fear and division and the big bad orange man meanwhile you know the

00:06:07.960 liberals have been in power for 11 years so i wouldn't be surprised if he does call it after

00:06:13.820 the convention the liberal convention when everybody's tires are pumped up and he thinks he

00:06:17.980 can win a majority um so i think that that could make sense as for me i still haven't decided

00:06:24.620 well i'm i'm sure you talk to people in your writing and they recognize you and i'm just wondering

00:06:34.560 if they're saying anything about past choices that they have made now of course we had some

00:06:40.940 down news it's in terms of job creation another 24 25 000 jobs lost the private sector is hemorrhaging

00:06:50.320 jobs and things are getting worse i mean our economy even according to ctv is on life support

00:06:58.200 and so if this guy was seen as a miracle worker when he was elected i'm not sure that the same

00:07:04.460 attitude you know is pervasive now what do you think i think there's two groups of people mark i

00:07:12.540 think there's uh people who think and are not sort of party loyal um are you know trying to afford their

00:07:20.440 life they're trying to get by they're trying to do all the right things and everything just keeps

00:07:24.540 getting worse and i think those people are definitely reachable and i think there's more

00:07:30.060 of them and obviously like at the convention for example there was the record high numbers of young

00:07:35.040 people that we've ever seen at a conservative convention ever i do believe the young people

00:07:39.600 are the path to victory to be honest with you um but i also think there is a very astute number for

00:07:46.860 whatever reason i'm a liberal i'm a liberal i'm a liberal it doesn't matter what you say or do to

00:07:53.400 them like i i can remember knocking on the door and they're like michelle i love you i think you're

00:07:58.140 the best but i have to vote liberal and i and i would say but why and they say because i'm a liberal

00:08:03.880 like it's like their identity and so there was no reasoning with folks like that or they've been

00:08:10.780 you know it's um have you ever heard of the term ham in the pan no i don't think so you don't know

00:08:15.740 that story so it's like basically the the young girl's watching her mom and she's cooking a ham and

00:08:21.120 she's she cuts off the the end of the ham to put it in the pan and the daughter says to her mom why

00:08:25.440 do you cut the end of the ham off when you put it in the pan and she says well i don't know my mom

00:08:31.100 does it so she phones her mom and her mom says she said mom why do why do you do that she said i don't

00:08:35.580 know my mom did it and so then she phones her mom and her mom says i don't know my mom did it

00:08:40.000 and there's no reason if the pan got bigger it originally started that the pan wasn't big enough for

00:08:45.320 the for the ham but as the pan got bigger people still kept doing the same thing even though they

00:08:49.920 hadn't grown with what it changed and i think a lot of that happens with liberal um loyal voters

00:08:56.780 where they're like generational liberals and you can't vote anything else and liberal is it's like

00:09:01.920 being a maple leafs fan right they're gonna disappoint you every time they're gonna lose but you keep

00:09:07.960 cheering for them and it doesn't work yeah it makes you what the liberals have to be before people

00:09:13.940 finally yeah slides i mean i think it is possible although you know stubborn habits die hard you

00:09:22.980 know old habits die hard there's a knee-jerk reaction they just get in there and i don't know

00:09:28.200 the muscle reflex kicks in and they just check off the liberal voter i mean that probably accounts for

00:09:34.440 who knows 20 of their vote it's just people who have always voted that way and always will for

00:09:40.240 whatever reason and in all fairness mark there are conservatives that do the same there are ndp that

00:09:46.240 do the same so it that's not just a liberal issue that's you know that's the way it is it's

00:09:52.380 how do you connect with the middle how do you connect with the young people who probably don't

00:09:57.360 want to go out and line up at an arena to vote they want to vote on their phone that's how they work

00:10:01.680 so what are we going to do about that like these are all issues right that um that we need to deal

00:10:06.880 with because there's clearly an appetite from the young people like they're they're so over

00:10:13.540 um the 11 years of of decline and you know when you listen to stephen harper's speech you're like

00:10:20.220 yeah wow that's like it's it's just a steady rapid decline of our standard of living and our

00:10:27.960 opportunity like what opportunities do you have now with the increase in taxes that you pay what are you

00:10:34.020 getting yeah and i guess the natural inclination of a lot of people in politics and out of politics

00:10:41.240 is to blame the orange man you know it's all his fault he wasn't well where was he in 2015 2016 2017

00:10:48.520 2018 2019 like you like where was he all of a sudden right it's his fault because he's anyway it makes

00:10:56.040 no sense as in as in the words of that lovely hot mic moment stephen harper's right exactly it got

00:11:02.940 me wondering whether or not there's a nostalgia going on for for harper you know even amongst

00:11:08.540 like liberals who couldn't stand him i mean both of us were around you know during harper's time

00:11:14.000 wasn't that long ago did you see what he said when he got up to the mic and he goes wow how things have

00:11:19.720 changed everybody's waving at me with all five fingers now i thought that was really funny yeah you

00:11:27.840 know i did a video on this because it's like it's like having the boyfriend that actually was a really

00:11:31.920 good boyfriend but you didn't know he was a good boyfriend and you took him for granted and you

00:11:35.580 went out and you shopped around and you got some loser then you got rid of that loser and then you

00:11:39.780 got another guy who's better than the loser but not as good as the first guy so you're like it's okay

00:11:43.960 because your bar is just so low like that's what i feel like canadians are like like that's the bar

00:11:50.020 is so low for what is improvement that they'll take anything they'll take the scraps yeah well i'll take

00:11:57.080 your work for it on the boyfriend's experience never having had that okay girlfriend whatever

00:12:03.340 replace whatever you want mark whatever whatever makes you happy let's talk about your videos because

00:12:10.040 you know good for you you're you've been very active on on social media doing a terrific job

00:12:15.460 generating tons of views and recently you had quite a hard-hitting video on gary and andesandri

00:12:22.080 uh who you who made some comments that you took exception to as far as the abuse uh like spousal

00:12:32.100 abuse a little bit about that listen gary needs a new job and he needs a new job like yesterday and

00:12:42.020 you know i can't imagine being allowed to stay in a job where i am failing so badly at it and i'm caught

00:12:49.680 on a on a hot mic and i admit that the program the gun buyback program doesn't work i admit that all

00:12:57.460 of these things are wrong and yet i get to keep my job so intimate partner violence is just it's

00:13:04.600 always been around it's been around since the beginning of time but under the liberal guise

00:13:08.060 it has skyrocketed there is a woman who is choked every day according to peel regional police okay

00:13:13.720 sexual assaults are up 75 94 municipalities in ontario alone have declared ipv an epidemic

00:13:20.260 including in my community peterborough nova scotia all of these things women are murdered in broad

00:13:25.760 daylight i can remember many of you who follow me i stood in the house of commons it was a very viral

00:13:31.780 clip because everybody was talking because corruption is normal in the house of commons and i started

00:13:36.920 really elevating my voice about a woman who had just been murdered in broad daylight in an ottawa park

00:13:42.380 where her her throat was slit in front of her children by a guy out on bail and these are

00:13:48.800 liberal policies so c75 created this environment for repeat violent offenders to get out and

00:13:56.040 consequently they are murdering their partners like this is not i'm not being dramatic this is what's

00:14:01.480 happening and gary who i can't even pronounce his last name but gary was testifying at justice committee

00:14:07.740 and he was being questioned by conservative member larry brock and gary got on his high horse for

00:14:13.340 whatever reason i'm not sure who was media training and he said it is my responsibility to help people

00:14:18.280 and we need to work together and it was the most offensive thing i've ever heard and one of the women

00:14:23.140 i work with i sit on the board of directors for end violence everywhere and that the president and

00:14:28.380 founder of that kate alexander messaged me back she said yeah that's exactly what my abuser used to say to

00:14:33.060 me and it's it's just bonkers that gary has the audacity to say we need to work together and it's

00:14:43.020 it's in it's so insulting and it's re-traumatizing we have put victims rights below criminals rights in

00:14:49.400 this country you are the minister of public safety and you are an absolute disgrace to say that we need

00:14:57.180 to work together the only reason you're even addressing this gary is because the conservatives have

00:15:02.700 called you out on it so many times and we've forced your hand to implement legislation like bailey's law

00:15:08.560 and he's a disgrace and he wants to take guns away from law-abiding firearms owners but hey let the guys

00:15:15.600 who are murdering their wives and leaving children motherless to just walk free it's ridiculous like

00:15:21.660 fire this guy yeah um these policies cost lives they do they absolutely do all beyond politics

00:15:30.240 partisanship you know policies cost lives and uh women have paid the ultimate price here because

00:15:38.100 of this these bailed policies that the liberals now claim that they're going to address and try and

00:15:43.880 reform as they point fingers at the conservative side of the bench you know and accuse them all of a

00:15:49.820 sudden we're the problem all of a sudden we're the problem mark like sean frazier got up in the house

00:15:54.880 and he's like oh the conservatives are up this is their new narrative and so once you recognize their

00:15:59.700 narrative you can point out what they're doing their new narrative is we're obstructing their justice

00:16:04.980 um who's going to tell them that they've been in power for 11 years these are a direct result of their

00:16:12.020 policies the reason canada is in a complete despair chaos misery is because of them like it's it's such

00:16:21.000 gaslighting it just makes me want to puke absolutely i get it anyway how do people access your terrific

00:16:28.300 content on x and elsewhere so um on instagram i think i'm oh my gosh you look at you asking me
