00:03:34.940Unbelievable. I don't understand. I mean, this woman was the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada.
00:03:53.640Presumably, she has a team, she has some staff, she has security. How is it that when Mark Carney
00:03:59.280introduced his intention to run as leader of this party, they wouldn't even let journalists
00:04:04.580into the room. That's how tight the security was. That's how closely things were vetted. They
00:04:08.740literally did not let journalists into the room unless you worked for a government media company.
00:04:14.500As our own Isaac Lamoureux learned, Kian Bextie and many others, including journalists from the
00:04:21.860Western Standard, were not allowed into the room because security was so tight. And here we have
00:04:26.760Chrystia Freeland. Somehow they didn't catch the people standing right behind her with a giant
00:04:32.320banner. I mean, can we show this banner? It says Freeland, our deputy PM gravedigger.
00:04:38.800Like how on earth do you get a banner of that size into the room? You could tell the room isn't very
00:04:44.360packed. There's not that many people at this event. It was a pretty small, pretty sad event. And yet
00:04:49.980somehow they managed to have that huge banner rolled up in someone's pocket or hidden inside
00:04:56.240someone's jacket and actually were able to unscroll it and put it up behind Chrystia Freeland. You saw
00:05:01.840it at the very end of that clip that I played that she didn't realize that she knows someone was in her
00:05:06.680face. They took that person away and she didn't realize that there was more. There was a group of
00:05:10.820them and that someone was behind her holding that sign. What a terrible, terrible look. And again,
00:05:16.440it's kind of ironic because these protesters are of the left. They're part of her coalition. I think that
00:05:22.520the Liberals have been completely cynical about Canada's immigration plan. They've even let in
00:05:28.000Gaza and refugees, for goodness sake. The countries around Gaza don't want Gaza and refugees because
00:05:33.900of the trouble that they can bring. And yet Canada, with open arms, is allowing them to come in and
00:05:38.480giving them welfare checks when they get here. These people should be supporting the Liberals, you would
00:05:42.540think. But the reality is that no one is ever far, far extreme enough for these activists and they're
00:05:49.160going to keep pushing and pushing. And so they really just created a mockery of Chrystia Freeland.
00:05:53.780The fact that they had that photo behind here. Our friends over at Canada Proud pointed out something
00:06:00.060interesting about these protesters, which is just that they've been harassing Canadians with zero
00:06:04.960consequences for a year and a half. But when they annoy Chrystia Freeland, 10 seconds later, the response
00:06:10.620is different. They get booted out of the room. And again, just having that banner back there, again,
00:06:17.080amateur hour, bad start to a bad campaign. Couldn't have happened to a worse person.
00:06:22.740Chrystia Freeland, it didn't get much better from here, folks. She's just not a very capable
00:06:29.480politician. She's not very polished, not at all like Mark Carney. Here she is. This is a funny
00:06:35.880ex-user that I like to follow called Ryan Garrison. He has great content. He posts this video of her
00:06:42.140saying, this is Chrystia Freeland's Kamala Harris moment. You have no, when you know, I have no
00:06:46.180idea what to say. So you just repeat it and pretend no one notices. Okay, let's play this clip.
00:06:51.720You're ready to fight, aren't you? I can feel it.
00:06:59.020That is so great. That is so, so great. We are ready to fight, aren't we?
00:07:04.980And so, with your help, we are going to fight.
00:07:22.440I don't know if her teleprompter froze there or something like that, but she says, we're so ready
00:07:26.800to fight. And we're just going to fight. And we're ready to fight. Fight, fight, fight. Fight,
00:07:32.900fight, fight. Okay. Okay. There. Kind of some, you could see some overlap between her and Kamala
00:07:39.320Harris, even just with the situation that Trudeau realizes that there's no chance that he can win
00:07:44.480the election. So he dumps it onto his sort of number two and she's just wildly unprepared as a
00:07:50.460candidate and not a very inspiring person. You could totally see it happening again. Okay. Let's go to
00:07:55.780this. Steven Taylor, political commentator. He pointed this out. Not a lot of, not a lot of interest
00:08:02.720in Christia Freeland. Not a lot of interest. So during her speech, during her big, big announcement
00:08:09.060that she'd been teasing for weeks and weeks and weeks, she only had 98 viewers. Yes. Only 98 people
00:08:15.360were watching the stream as it was happening. So not a lot of people in the room, not a lot of people
00:08:21.040online. Not a great start. Well, don't worry, not to fear. Christia Freeland does have one big fan
00:08:28.740in her corner fighting for her. And that is none other than the Globe and Mail's Andrew Coyne. So
00:08:33.400Andrew Coyne, of course, praised Christia Freeland. Here is his tweet on the matter. He said that she
00:08:42.340really captured the public mood better than Mark Carney. So Andrew Coyne is giving nothing but flattery
00:08:50.440to Christia Freeland. I guess he knows where his bread is buttered. And he's just praising her campaign
00:08:57.780video that she released, which really not a lot to compliment in this video, but I'll play it for
00:09:04.820you. Let me know what you think in the comments. Here's the, here's the video. I want to let you in
00:09:10.140on a little secret. Donald Trump doesn't like me very much. Canada. We don't like their representative
00:09:16.440very much. I'm a tough negotiator. During the first Trump administration, I fought hard to protect
00:09:22.080Canadian jobs, the Canadian economy, and our way of life. And we won. I left Trudeau's cabinet because
00:09:28.800I know what we need to do to win that fight again. Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies
00:09:33.840think they can push us around. Trump thinks we're for sale. But he can take what isn't his.
00:09:39.840I'm not gonna let him. We're a proud country. The true north, strong and free. A country of smart, caring,
00:09:50.000and hardworking people. A country that gets big things done. A country worth fighting for. But Pierre
00:09:58.080Poliev, he'll bow down to Trump and sell us out. This moment matters. For all of us. I'm running
00:10:09.920to be leader of the Liberal Party and our next Prime Minister. I'm in this to fight for you. To fight
00:10:17.520for Canadians. To fight for Canada. Join me. Join the fight.
00:10:28.080I think she said the word fight about 80 times in that video. She just kept repeating the word fight,
00:10:32.240fight, fight, fight. Okay. A couple of things to pick up on that video there. She talks about how
00:10:38.480Trump has his billionaire buddies. I'm sorry. That's a bit rich coming from Christie Freeland.
00:10:42.480She wrote a book that sort of helped launch her career called Plutocrats. And during her time
00:10:47.600profiling the richest, most powerful people in the world, she buddied up with them and became friends
00:10:52.400with a bunch of them. Most notably, of course, George Soros. So here, Melissa
00:10:57.920Rogers had this tweet saying, Christie Freeland started working with George Soros in 1990.
00:11:03.360Together, they worked to manipulate Ukrainian politics. Soros also funded the Ukrainian legal
00:11:08.080reform, which Christie Freeland's mother led. They will do whatever it takes for Ukraine to flourish.
00:11:14.480This is the mandate, not Canada. I pointed this out in some of my investigative writing,
00:11:19.600uh, when Christie Freeland first sort of surfaced and when the, uh, Russian invasion of Ukraine happened,
00:11:25.200that it's so weird. I mean, Christie Freeland described herself as a Ukrainian national.
00:11:30.240That's how she described herself. She's a nationalist. She's a nationalist for Ukraine,
00:11:34.320not for Canada. Um, she probably thinks being a nationalist in Canada means that you're a racist.
00:11:39.520And yet she herself described herself, um, that way. So, you know, very close friends, uh, friendship,
00:11:46.720admiration for George Soros. And yet somehow she's accusing Trump and Pierre Polyev of being the ones,
00:11:52.960uh, with billionaires and her whole entire pitch to Canadians in that video was that Donald Trump
00:11:58.880hates her, was that she would do a better job negotiating with Donald Trump because Trump
00:12:03.680doesn't like her. I'm sorry. That is not a good pitch to Canadians, regardless of what Andrew Coyne
00:12:08.640thinks. Andrew Coyne is wrong on this issue, just like he's wrong on a lot of things.
00:12:13.120Having the incoming prime minister or incoming president who's threatening tariffs against your
00:12:17.520country hates you is not going to help our country. We need someone who can go down and speak to Trump,
00:12:24.240who speaks his language. We need like a Trump whisper at this moment in time. And so if your
00:12:29.360whole pitch is that Trump doesn't like you, I'm sorry, I don't want you negotiating on my behalf.
00:12:34.800I don't want you there. You're not a good person to lead our country. If the person who you're
00:12:40.000negotiating with hates you, especially someone like Trump, who can be a bit erratic. Uh, we don't want
00:12:45.040him holding an irrational grudge against you and taking it out on our entire country. And again,
00:12:51.840falling back on her negotiating NAFTA again, I'm sorry, but that was embarrassing. Christia
00:12:57.280Freeland representing us. That was back when she was a minister of trade. It was embarrassing. It was
00:13:02.560embarrassing. First, she showed up, uh, with these weird t-shirts that she made. She went down to
00:13:07.120Washington. She was wearing this weird t-shirt that said, keep calm and negotiate NAFTA. I'm sorry,
00:13:13.200but what kind of grown adult woman wears a t-shirt, like a graphic tee? This is something you do in
00:13:18.480high school, or maybe like, if you're a member of a sorority, you wear like cute matching t-shirts,
00:13:22.880but you're the representative of Canada going down to negotiate and you show up in like a crappy
00:13:28.480homemade t-shirt in your professional capacity. That was just incredibly bad, incredibly embarrassing.
00:13:36.800I wrote about this at the time I was writing in the Toronto sun. So I had an article that was
00:13:42.000talking about how she, she, she gave a deranged speech. I'm sorry. She was given this really
00:13:47.680ridiculous award by foreign policy magazine diplomat of the year. And she gives a speech
00:13:53.040just ripping into Trump and talking about the new world order and how it has to like deal with
00:13:58.800dictators and authoritarians, obviously talking about Trump. Um, the other side, the Americans took
00:14:06.320note of that. They saw that she was out there bashing them, bashing the Americans and they
00:14:11.200didn't like it. They didn't like it very much. Um, here she is again out there, this, this clip six in
00:14:16.560my mind, um, of how kind of cringe she is. So here, she was talking about how trade negotiations
00:14:23.840are kind of like going into labor and having contractions and having a baby. Here's this clip.
00:14:29.520It's never over until it's over. Uh, it, uh, when I was giving birth, one of my midwives said,
00:14:42.240you never know how long the labor will be, but you know that each contraction is one contraction
00:14:49.440closer to the baby being born. And if I could use such a personal metaphor, uh, that seems to apply to
00:14:57.120trade negotiations. I'm sorry, that is just wildly inappropriate. Like I say this as a, as a, as a
00:15:04.800mother of four and someone who, who actually my last child was born at home, uh, not in a hospital,
00:15:10.080not with any medication, hearing her in a professional setting, talking to reporters,
00:15:16.240she was down in Washington, talking to the press, the American press and the Canadian press, and talking
00:15:21.040about giving birth and having contractions and working with a midwife. It is just weird. It's
00:15:26.800inappropriate. It makes everybody stop. Instead of thinking about the trade, the political situation
00:15:33.360on the ground, they're now picturing you going through labor. I mean, I, I get that Trudeau is
00:15:39.920a feminist and he likes having women in his cabinet and he likes putting women out there. And they probably
00:15:44.240told Christia Freeland to play up the fact that she's a woman because it makes liberals like Trudeau
00:15:49.760better that he has a woman in a high position there negotiating on behalf of Canada. But you probably
00:15:55.760shouldn't talk about that kind of stuff in a press conference in front of the press when you're
00:15:59.520trying to talk about trade. It's just, it's just not right. It's inappropriate. It's weird. It's cringe.
00:16:04.640Um, that's what we're going to have to expect from Christia Freeland. And again, I mean, let me know
00:16:08.880what you think. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I think the pitch that Trump doesn't like you is kind of
00:16:14.560disqualifying in this moment, in this moment of politics, when we need a representative to go down there
00:16:20.640and speak to Trump and negotiate a deal and save our country from economy crippling tariffs, having
00:16:26.960someone that he hates, I just don't think it's a good idea. Now, maybe I'm missing something. Um,
00:16:32.240but I don't think so. I don't think that Christia Freeland is the right person. Even the liberals know
00:16:36.960that even their own audience isn't really interested. Not a lot of people at her launch,
00:16:41.520the few people that were there, some of them protesting, not a lot of people watching online,
00:16:46.560not a lot of hope there. Uh, let's give you an update on the other candidate who is running.
00:16:50.960That of course is Mark Carney. Part of his big pitch is that he is this global elite who has had a lot
00:16:57.040of positions of power. Uh, well, that might not necessarily help him here. We had the former UK
00:17:03.120prime minister, Liz Truss, warning Canadians, basically pleading with Canadians, not to go with this guy.
00:17:10.160She writes after printing too much money at the bank of England, promoting disastrous net zero policies
00:17:17.360and backing the labor MP, Rachel Reeves, who was a far left globalist pro lockdown, pro vaccine,
00:17:24.640pro everything, um, growth, killing economic plans. It seems like Mark Carney wants to inflict these
00:17:31.200terrible ideas on Canada, resist Canadians, resist. So, uh, speaking from the prime minister who worked
00:17:38.880with the guy, resist, do not go for this guy. Uh, says former PM, Liz Truss of the UK. I noticed this
00:17:47.440as well, again, from Melissa Rogers. I showed another one of her tweets. Uh, she posted this
00:17:51.920on X over the weekend, just saying to understand Mark Carney, look at the 15 people that he follows
00:17:57.840on Instagram. He only follows 15 people and it's pretty illuminating as to who it is that he's
00:18:04.400interested in, who he gets influenced by. Uh, of course, Gavin Newsom, who has been just absolutely
00:18:10.800disastrous when it comes to dealing with those LA fires. Um, who else do we have on this list?
00:18:16.960Uh, Justin Trudeau, of course, the liberal party, of course, but also another sort of left-wing
00:18:23.360authoritarian there. Um, Jason Arden, the former prime minister of New Zealand, who was absolutely
00:18:29.920disastrous, maybe one of the few countries in the world that was even stricter and more harsh against
00:18:34.560people who didn't want to take the shot. Um, and that was New Zealand. Um, as well as of course,
00:18:41.280Gerald Butts, who is, uh, reportedly working on his campaign and the radical, radical environmentalist,
00:18:48.240Stephen Gilbo. So yeah, I think we're going to have to expect much of the same, uh, from Mark Carney
00:18:55.120as what we have got from Justin Trudeau. And much like Trudeau, Mark Carney doesn't seem to like the
00:19:01.760press that much. Doesn't seem to want any independent voices to cover his work. Doesn't
00:19:06.320seem to have a lot of time for hearing the other side of the story and doesn't have much regard for
00:19:10.880the truth as well. So here we have liberal MP, George Chahal, the one who hosted Mark Carney's,
00:19:17.440uh, event, his, his, uh, announcement last week that he was running. And here he is on the news
00:19:24.400telling the Canadian public that all local journalists had access to the event. That
00:19:28.720of course is not true, but the truth doesn't really matter around here. So let's play that clip.
00:19:33.920It's not as though this happened overnight. There's been lots of speculation that Mr.
00:19:36.800Carney would run. He couldn't even answer the most basic question, which was,
00:19:40.160will you not pursue a consumer price on carbon? He said, you know, he, he sort of alluded to the
00:19:45.360idea that there could be other things, but that would have to replace it, but he, he wouldn't be
00:19:49.440specific. Isn't that problematic? Well, no, I think he clearly stated
00:19:54.080what his plan will be moving forward in the days and weeks ahead. He will be outlining
00:19:58.320his ideas and his plan for Canada. And I think that's important that to launch today. We, we've
00:20:03.760seen that, uh, all the local journalists had the opportunity to ask him a number of questions,
00:20:08.640but a lot of our constituents here in Edmonton got an opportunity to meet him and ask him those
00:20:13.280questions as well. So no, it's not true. All local journalists have not admitted because again,
00:20:18.800True North's local journalist, Isaac Lamoureux was not allowed in the building. So not telling the truth
00:20:24.560there, George, not telling the truth there, Mark Carney. Okay. Who else do we have in the race?
00:20:29.760Karina Gold also made her announcement over the weekend that she would also be joining the campaign.
00:20:35.200Now I wouldn't say that her event was as disastrous as Christia Freeland, but I can't say it went very well
00:20:41.280either. Uh, at her own campaign launch speech, uh, she just let the cab right out of the bag and said
00:20:47.120that Canadians don't trust the Liberals. Canadians have lost trust in our party. Let's play that clip.
00:20:52.880And I'll be very honest with you, Rosie. Canadians don't trust the Liberal Party of Canada right now.
00:20:57.840And I think that's because, uh, over the past couple of years in particular, we've gotten further
00:21:02.720away from the grassroots and talking about the things that Canadians care about.
00:21:08.000Wrong clip there. Well, that was her later that day,
00:21:10.160telling Rosemary Barton that, uh, Canadians have lost trust in the Liberal Party. She said
00:21:15.520pretty much the same thing at her launch campaign. So let's play the clip of her at her launch,
00:21:20.960uh, saying that Canadians have lost trust in her party.
00:21:24.880We have a big challenge ahead of us. Canadians have lost trust in our party.
00:21:31.760And if we are going to be able to keep building our country, we must rebuild our party.
00:21:40.160I became a Liberal at the age of 14 because I believe in Canada. I believe in who we are as a
00:21:54.400people. I believe in the promise that we represent for the entire world. The Liberal Party of Canada is
00:22:02.080not a hobby for me. It's not a side project. It is something that I have been working for my entire
00:22:09.680life. Like so many of you in this room and Liberal Party members across the country.
00:22:16.960So she's speaking some truth there. I'll give it to her for that. That's kind of the kind of speech that
00:22:22.080you give after you've lost an election, right? That's the kind of thing that you say after your
00:22:26.480party has been obliterated in an election and you say, okay, let's have some hard truths,
00:22:31.440some hard conversations. Uh, this is why we lost. Let's rebuild our party. It's time to rebuild our
00:22:36.080party. It's a little bit awkward to say that when your party is still in power and when you're running
00:22:42.000to try to lead that party. I know those clips, I can just wait. I know that those are going to end up
00:22:47.280in conservative attack ads because having a Liberal front runner say the truth, let it out of the bag,
00:22:53.200the saying that Canadians don't trust us. Nobody likes the Liberals anymore. We have to rebuild our
00:22:57.200party. Uh, that's not going to help them. It's true. It's entirely true, uh, but not going to help
00:23:03.440them. Okay. I want to get to the big, big news of the day, which is that Donald Trump
00:23:08.000is being inaugurated. And I think it's a good time to pause. Look, first of all, just say that this is
00:23:14.160a Canadian show. This is a Canadian podcast. True North is a Canadian news outlet. And the thing that
00:23:19.040we'd like to do is focus on Canada. Talk about the things that matter in our country.
00:23:22.880If you want to get the American news and you can, there's so many great podcasts. I know that you'll
00:23:26.800probably be over there listening to the guys at the daily wire or Megan Kelly, or one of the very
00:23:31.840many great sources of news, uh, down in the States to hear what's happening down there. And I'm not
00:23:36.960going to try, um, to provide any special insight on, uh, Donald Trump, but I do think it's important
00:23:43.840that we pause and sort of recognize just how disastrous Joe Biden was for the United States.
00:23:50.640And by virtue of that, the entire world, because what happens in the United States is so consequential
00:23:55.520around the world, having a weak president down there hurts everybody. And there was a Twitter
00:24:01.680thread that I saw, which was Joe Biden's disastrous presidency in 25 photos. And so I want to kind of
00:24:09.600walk us through, uh, just how bad it is partially because look, a lot of this stuff was happening in
00:24:16.560Canada. A lot of this stuff, there's a lot of overlap between Trudeau and Biden. And that is why
00:24:22.720it's important to walk us through it. So let's go through this, uh, thread. So the, the, um,
00:24:29.440the, the author on Twitter here is a gentleman called Ben Q and he says, Joe Biden's disastrous
00:24:34.720presidency in 25 photos. Here's 40, 25 photos that show the story of the Biden years. So the first one
00:24:41.600here is just a flashback to the socially distanced cabinet. Just remember this, remember that this
00:24:48.880happened. This, this was our lifetime. This wasn't that long ago. This was part of Joe Biden's legacy.
00:24:54.240Here they are with their ridiculous masks on with their chairs, exactly six feet apart. Remember
00:25:00.720that keep three meters apart. Uh, that's science, trust the science. Um, and that is just incredibly
00:25:07.040ingrained as part of his legacy, part of the embarrassment of his time in office. Okay.
00:25:13.360Let's move on to the second one here, which is just gas prices, gas prices rose massively in 2021.
00:25:20.400Of course, because of high inflation, inflation that came from huge increases in government spending
00:25:26.800and the printing of money, the government spending went to basically just pay everyone to keep the
00:25:31.440economy going while their disastrous policies had shut it down. And again, exactly the same thing.
00:25:37.600Number one and number two, exactly the same thing were happening under Justin Trudeau. Of course,
00:25:42.480our, our gases and leaders there's is in gallons, but tells the exact same story. I could be saying the
00:25:48.160same thing, um, about Justin Trudeau. Okay. The next picture here heading north. Uh, this says
00:25:55.360Guatemalan authorities were pushing back on the migrant caravan nearly. Um, you know, this is what
00:26:01.280would happen. These individuals are just pushing their way into the United States and having an open
00:26:06.160border, completely unguarded border. You know, you just, you don't have a country anymore. If you don't
00:26:11.360have a border, you don't have sovereignty. You don't have control over your territory. You can't be a
00:26:15.840country. And it is just unbelievable. Both Trump, both Trudeau and Biden just fully embrace the policy
00:26:21.920of letting whoever wants to come in, come in like all of these young military aged men welcome into
00:26:28.400the country. No worries. Everyone can come collect your welfare, collect your benefits. And we're going
00:26:34.240to be one happy, uh, shining, happy family, a big post national state here, uh, happened in the United States,
00:26:42.080happened in Canada. Uh, here's one thing that doesn't, didn't happen in Canada. Um, we, we didn't
00:26:47.680have a kind of declining cognitively impaired leader. Here's Joe Biden sadly showing his age where
00:26:54.960he couldn't walk up the stairs of air force one failing to make it up the stairs. I mean, look, we got
00:27:01.520our own problems with Justin Trudeau. Um, fortunately, uh, being in the decline, uh, in terms of his age and
00:27:08.880ability is not one of them. Um, although I'm sure some in the comments will probably point out the
00:27:13.360fact that there's other types of declines happening with Justin Trudeau. Uh, next photo here is the
00:27:19.200Afghanistan withdrawal. I think this moment, uh, really, really, I mean, it was, it was horrifying
00:27:25.840to watch, horrifying to see how it all unfolded and it really changed the world. It, because seeing how
00:27:32.160weak the Americans were seeing how absolutely chaotic and disorganized this was the idea that
00:27:38.800they would just leave and leave so many people behind, leave so much resources behind military,
00:27:45.360uh, everything. It just showed the absolute weakness of Joe Biden. The fact that he was willing
00:27:51.600to do all that without a plan, it just seemed completely ham-fisted. And again, it showed, it showed,
00:27:57.680it showed the world that now's the time. Now's the time we have a weak president, a sleepy old man
00:28:03.200in office, uh, never should have been elected. A lot of really questionable things happened around
00:28:09.040that 2020 election that allowed for this man to become president. And now, now's your chance. If,
00:28:14.400if you're any kind of, uh, you know, adversarial state, uh, looking to get the upper hand in terms
00:28:22.240of regional stability or, uh, hegemony, regional hegemony, now's your chance. And you can draw a
00:28:27.840direct line from that Afghan withdrawal to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to Hamas's war against
00:28:34.240Israel. Um, you know, when, when, when the United States is weak, the world is unstable. Um, and we
00:28:39.920definitely saw that. Okay. Let's skip ahead here to another photo of Joe Biden with the vaccines,
00:28:46.720the vaccine mandate, much like in Canada, the United States introduced a vaccine mandate via
00:28:53.440executive order, wasn't voted in, wasn't, it didn't come from Congress. It came from Biden
00:28:59.120and it was later ruled unconstitutional, uh, because in the United States, their constitution
00:29:04.800is actually something that's binding that is upheld by the courts over there. Uh, unlike in Canada,
00:29:11.200where again, our charter and freedoms, our chart of rates and freedoms did nothing,
00:29:15.280did nothing to protect us from a tyrannical government during COVID.
00:29:19.600I mean, what is, is, is the constitution even written worth the paper it's written on if it
00:29:24.480can't protect you? The, one of the very first things in the Canadian chart of rights and freedom
00:29:28.560is the right to freedom of religion. And yet churches were closed, right? We have the, you,
00:29:34.640we're supposed to have a freedom of mobility in our charter. Uh, and yet the government prevented you
00:29:39.920from basically leaving your house in many circumstances. You couldn't get on a plane,
00:29:44.000couldn't get on a train, couldn't get on a bus if you didn't have the jab. Um, and again,
00:29:50.800really, really, really unbelievable, uh, what happened with regards to governments,
00:29:55.600uh, just out of control, out of control. Okay. Let's, uh, move on to the next one here.
00:30:01.360As I alluded to with the Afghan withdrawal, um, Putin goes rogue
00:30:05.440and invades Ukraine turns into a horrific war. One of the most devastating wars of the 21st century.
00:30:14.000Um, million, a million people or more have been killed and billions and billions and billions
00:30:19.760of dollars have gone to further that war, to fund the war effort, to continue the fighting and the
00:30:26.320misery in Ukraine. That's definitely part of Joe Biden's legacy. Uh, next we have Joe Biden's
00:30:33.280Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, famously saying that she is not a biologist
00:30:40.160because she was asked to define a woman. And according to this brilliant legal scholar,
00:30:47.280you can't define what a woman is unless you're a biologist and she is not a biologist. Therefore,
00:30:52.800she does not have to answer the question and no, she cannot define what a woman is. I think that that
00:30:59.360is just a photo that we will remember, um, and think of when we think of Joe Biden and his time in
00:31:06.960office. Uh, speaking of that, I, I'm gonna pull up a tweet that I saw, um, when it comes to this issue
00:31:13.840because I believe one of the first things that Donald Trump did do was an executive order
00:31:19.040plainly stating, um, that men are men, women are women. Behold, this is, uh, from Megan Kelly's
00:31:26.240X. It says executive order written by Trump issued on the first day here is a government-wide,
00:31:32.000um, establishes government-wide that biological reality of two sexes is clearly male and female.
00:31:39.920All radical gender ideology guidance communication policies are to be removed. Agencies will cease
00:31:45.440pretending that men can be women and that women can be men when enforcing laws to protect against
00:31:50.400sexual discrimination. Woman means an adult human female. The executive order directs that
00:31:55.520government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect biological reality
00:32:01.440and not self-assessed gender identity. Wow. So big change there down in the United States. Uh, I hope
00:32:09.200that that means that Canada will be next. I hope that Canada will go down the same path. Okay,
00:32:14.000let's go to the next photo here. Sean, the freak show, the freak show. This is back to Joe Biden's
00:32:19.040legacy, the 25 pictures that defined his presidency. Here we have the non-binary deputy secretary of,
00:32:28.880um, sorry, Sam Brinton and his transgender assistant secretary of health, Rachel Levine,
00:32:37.680pose her photos. So yes, these are actually administer, these are actually officials in the
00:32:42.720Biden administration, very confused men pretending to be women. They're, uh, definitely part of his
00:32:49.760legacy. Next we'll move on to the fentanyl crisis. And again, this is part of Canada's legacy as well.
00:32:56.320This photo depicts homeless encampments continue to expand across the United States and most cities,
00:33:03.280notably in California, many of the homeless or addicts hooked on fentanyl smuggled in by Mexican drug
00:33:10.000cartels and much of it made in China. Um, nuts again, could say the same thing about Justin Trudeau
00:33:16.880could say the same thing about Canada. Okay. Let's move on to the political persecution. Uh, this is
00:33:25.360about January sixers, uh, inside images from inside a federal prison show how Biden regime is torturing
00:33:32.400January six protesters through the use of prolonged solitary confinement. Meanwhile, hundreds more are
00:33:39.040convicted on long sentences for the so-called insurrection, absolutely unconscionable treatment
00:33:46.160over there. And again, some similar overlaps. I know that the media tried to portray Canada's
00:33:51.840freedom convoy as our version of January six. They lied and said it was an insurrection.
00:33:56.480They went out of their way to use undue force, uh, really just a stain on Justin Trudeau's time in
00:34:02.640office. Same thing happened down in the United States, but then things started to turn around.
00:34:08.800Biden used lawfare against Donald Trump. Um, it was kind of funny, right? During the campaign,
00:34:15.200you heard a lot in the U S about how Donald Trump was going to use the, uh, government,
00:34:22.400use the power of the government against his political enemies, um, that he was going to
00:34:26.560lock people up. Um, and then of course the irony is that it was literally what the Biden regime
00:34:31.040was doing against Donald Trump. So Biden regime moves forward with the prosecution of his political
00:34:37.360adversary and the leader of the other party, Donald Trump, who was leading at the time in the polls for
00:34:41.760the Republican nomination on phony charges. Well, it all backfired, right? Cause after this photo was
00:34:47.440taken after the raid on Mar-a-Lago, after this photo was taken, that was when Trump was back that put
00:34:53.440Trump back. Uh, so many Republicans who were sort of loop warm on him, unsure about him, didn't really
00:34:59.600know if they wanted to go for him. They were all in after this. It's like, once you declare war against
00:35:05.040our guy, it just makes you double down and want him even more. And so this was sort of part of the
00:35:10.160turning point. A couple more photos here. Which one do we have next here, Sean? Um,
00:35:17.200we've got Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden. Oh, Hunter arrives at court ahead of his trial on tax fraud
00:35:24.240and illegal immigration charges. Of course, he would later be pardoned by his father,
00:35:28.320despite repeated promises by old Joe that he would not do that. But of course he did. Um, next we have,
00:35:36.240what do we have next here, Sean? The debate, the debate, this will sort of go down in infamy
00:35:42.400as the worst performance ever by a debater. I don't think it's ever happened that someone has
00:35:46.800performed so badly in a presidential debate that they've literally had to drop out. Um, but that's
00:35:51.520what happened this, uh, in this campaign, 2024, the debate effectively ended his candidacy for president.
00:35:58.160Biden showed himself to be every bit as demented as his critics had worn, very sad,
00:36:03.120um, but very true. And we all saw it. And then they plopped in a replacement candidate here,
00:36:09.040Kamala Harris, bringing back the joy. What a, what an absolute disaster these two were. Wow.
00:36:15.120Wow. Kamala Harris takes over as the democratic nominee and chooses Tim Waltz as a running mate
00:36:21.600with a promise of restoring joy to politics. The campaign turns out to be a catastrophic failure.
00:36:28.480You could see it happening with Chrystia Freeland. You could see, you could see the parallels. And
00:36:33.680then of course, Don Trump wins with the greatest political comeback ever. And that brings us to today
00:36:40.320where he is being sworn in as the 47th president, the greatest, greatest comeback in political history.
00:36:47.920I think that's exactly right. Trump posted this video on his true social, and I want to go ahead and
00:36:54.640play it for you because it's really remarkable what has happened in the United States. So here's that clip.
00:37:00.560Message to hold in your hearts today. It's this. Never, ever give up.
00:37:06.960FBI raid at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. Deadly force being authorized.
00:37:12.080Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.
00:37:17.360Donald J. Trump has been indicted. Jack Smith has again indicted former President Trump.
00:37:23.600Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair.
00:37:27.840You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve.
00:37:31.920Like I said, take a look at what happened.
00:37:36.960But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.
00:37:42.240Never, ever, ever give up. The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.
00:37:56.560CNN projects that Donald Trump has been elected president.
00:38:00.720Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.
00:38:07.040Relish the opportunity to be an outsider because it's the outsiders who change the world.
00:38:13.760250 million Americans are not garbage.
00:38:18.320And it'll make a real and lasting difference.
00:38:20.640The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
00:38:34.880I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.
00:38:41.200America. So just remember that. Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.
00:38:49.760America is beginning a new chapter. Our best days are yet to come. I can promise you that.
00:39:06.720What an incredible message. What an incredible leader.
00:39:09.440And I know that most Canadians don't like Donald Trump. Most Canadians don't.
00:39:14.800You know, they tell pollsters anyway that they would not vote for Trump, that they would have voted for Kamala Harris, even many conservatives, which is tough to understand.
00:39:22.480But you could see just the difference in style. Right.
00:39:25.120The Americans are so much more brash, so much more in your face.
00:39:28.080Their patriotism is just so much more out in the open.
00:39:30.960Many Canadians find that distasteful. I personally find it inspiring.
00:39:36.400I love the fact that there's this new resurgence in in patriotism and love of country in this even just the whole like USA, USA, USA chance that break out.
00:39:47.440I remember those from like the 90s and then they kind of seem to disappear for a couple of decades.
00:39:52.640And seeing sort of the excitement, the optimism for the future, the idea that America is going to go through another golden age, just the idea that the best days of their country lie ahead and are not behind.
00:40:05.120And it's genuine when you hear it, you think, yes, that's possible.
00:40:08.560Yes, it's true. And it's so exciting when you hear it about Canada.
00:40:12.400I mean, you don't really hear any of that stuff about Canada.
00:40:14.800And it's tough to even get in the headspace where you would feel optimistic for your country and for your future like that, like like you see down in the United States.
00:40:23.760And that's why I've been talking about this on the podcast that I think Canadians should get on board.
00:40:29.280Trump is doing something amazing in the United States, whether you like him or you hate him.
00:40:33.680You can't deny the fact that he is a consequential person, the fact that it was the hand of providence that saved that man's life when he was being the assassination attempt.
00:40:43.680The fact that the bullet missed his head by mere millimeters and he turned his head at that exact moment.
00:40:49.120I mean, what an unbelievable thing to have happened.
00:40:53.200And I think that with that energy and excitement, like Canada needs to be involved.
00:40:57.440Canada needs to somehow strike a deal.
00:40:59.760I'm not saying that we should be absorbed or annexed or become American.
00:41:03.600But I'm saying that why wouldn't we want to try to get in on that, try to try to emulate that,
00:41:09.040try to bring back our own patriotism and our own excitement for the future,
00:41:12.560unleash the free market and have our own economic heyday.
