00:00:00.000 I want to talk about this foreign interference stuff. So like I said, we talked about it a lot
00:00:03.580 on the show yesterday. The Globe and Mail put out a ridiculous fake news story on the front
00:00:08.180 page of their headline saying that CSIS alleged that India helped organize support for Polyev's
00:00:13.440 2022 conservative race. There are so many reasons why that is wrong, even though the headline itself
00:00:17.600 is false because CSIS wasn't alleging anything. It was an unnamed anonymous source within CSIS.
00:00:24.000 We're just supposed to trust the Globe and Mail that this person is who they say they are.
00:00:27.280 and global mail said they had top secret security clearance top secret security clearance means
00:00:31.800 that you're not supposed to share these secrets with the global mail and the newspaper that's the
00:00:35.140 whole point of it so whoever leaked that story needs to be fired you need to figure out who that
00:00:39.180 was wasn't that some old story from like last year isn't this like a recent story yeah it came out in
00:00:44.500 the hoag commission so they added like one extra detail and it's supposed to be a big news story
00:00:48.960 now i want to i want to go to what happened after the show yesterday which i told you i told the
00:00:53.180 audience that, look, wherever Pierre Polyev goes, he's going to get asked about this question
00:00:57.260 because this is what they do. The liberals plant a seed, they tell the media what to talk about,
00:01:01.300 and then the media goes ahead and talks about it, it dominates the campaign, and this is why
00:01:04.700 conservatives often lose because of the media. I didn't even cover this on yesterday's show,
00:01:10.000 this story, because I know it's absolute bullshit. I didn't even cover it. I mean, 0.99
00:01:14.900 I covered it because I wanted to point out that it was just such nonsense. So Pierre Polyev flips
00:01:20.480 this the script this is so good this is what PR does best so he's asked about it hey why don't
00:01:25.360 you comment on India supposedly getting involved in your campaign and he said why are we talking
00:01:30.080 about India let's talk about China let's talk about Mark Carney so let's play that clip
00:01:34.720 so uh Globe and Mail uh has done a story on election interference on conservative
00:01:40.160 leadership campaign what are your comments on that well first of all let's look uh let's quote
00:01:47.600 from that Globe and Mail article, I'm going to quote here, CSIS also did not have evidence that
00:01:52.000 Mr. Polyev or members of his inner circle were aware of these alleged actions.
00:01:58.560 Then I'm going to quote the Hogue Commission and I quote, the Commission heard testimony about
00:02:02.640 allegations of the government India interference in the Conservative Party leadership race.
00:02:09.120 CSIS witnesses noted that they had no reason to believe the impacted candidates would have
00:02:15.360 been aware of the alleged support let's be honest i won the leadership fair and square even my
00:02:20.720 political competitors like mr patrick brown have publicly testified under oath that that was the
00:02:26.240 case okay so sorry so that was him denying it now let's play the next clip this is where he flips
00:02:31.920 the switch flips the script and says let's let's talk about the real issue here the real foreign 0.98
00:02:37.520 interference that you need to be concerned about is china we know this we've had sam cooper on the
00:02:41.760 the show many times. He has painstakingly painted these ties, showed us the ties between the Trudeau
00:02:47.720 liberals and the Communist Party of China. And now we're inserting Mark Carney into that loop as well.
