00:11:48.840I have to ask you, watching this, most of the people featured and most of the people that you will see post these types of videos are, you know, very young.
00:12:07.820Probably in my generation, Gen Z, you might see the occasional, you know, individual in their middle age doing something.
00:12:13.820But, you know, this idea of posting these emotional videos of yourself online is relatively new.
00:12:20.820And so that's why I think you're seeing a lot of younger people do it because I just don't think it would have been considered socially or culturally appropriate even like five years ago.
00:12:31.340And so I wonder, looking at how young these people are, is it, are you entirely like you are so dumb and this is so embarrassing or is there any part of you that feels bad for them?
00:12:40.620I don't feel bad for them in the slightest.
00:12:42.660They probably don't even, they're probably low information voters, number one, and they're incredibly narcissistic.
00:12:49.340Like, do we really, really care that they're upset about a loss?
00:12:54.940And I don't even know if many of them, when I say low information voters, do any of them have jobs?
00:13:03.780Do they understand the future in America?
00:13:06.220I mean, it's just, it's just all a show.
00:13:09.840And this is so indicative of, I'm going to put you aside, but this is so indicative of some of these Gen Zers who think the whole world revolves around them.
00:13:20.480I particularly like the one who, I think she should get an Academy Award, the one who just went on and on and on and on and talked about blocking her.
00:14:14.560But my hope is that my kid, you know, they have social media much later in life.
00:14:20.200And so they don't start down this rabbit hole of being addicted and doing crazier and crazier things for clicks.
00:14:25.720Like I think that this is a problem that started with these kids much earlier on.
00:14:29.800But obviously, you know, there was a huge absence of proper parenting in their lives.
00:14:34.300And then, you know, even as a parent to just say like, listen, like, you know, I get maybe you were rooting for a certain team, but it's not that deep.
00:14:42.000Like I follow this stuff for a living.
00:14:43.580I deeply care about our politics and about policy.
00:15:20.480These kids were at these encampments at University of Toronto and in Montreal.
00:15:26.600And I kept saying, where are the parents?
00:15:29.320Like they enjoy seeing their kids on the screen screaming anti-Israel epithets.
00:15:35.740Because, you know, I think some of the parents probably don't even know their kids are doing this, are happy to have them out of the house, you know, that kind of thing.
00:15:44.920But I agree with you, the absence of proper parenting or the whole thing about parents just wanting to be their friends, their good friends.
00:15:52.700Everybody has to be, they have to indulge them and be their good friends because they might not like them.
00:15:57.680There are no boundaries with these kind of kids.
00:16:00.440But it's not only narcissistic, but it's just, you know, who would be interested in this thing?
00:16:09.700And this is just the whole thing about, you know, emoting online.
00:16:15.800I've covered too many elections to count in Canada.
00:16:19.360And the only one I went a little nutsy about was when I was at the Toronto Sun and Justin Trudeau won a second term.
00:16:26.880And I said I was going to trim my hair out.
00:16:28.700But obviously I didn't because I still have hair.
00:16:30.440And did you think at the time that you were like, yeah, it was appropriate that I said that I'm glad that I said that?
00:16:37.700Or were you like later on thinking, oh, maybe I shouldn't have gotten so emotional about it?
00:16:59.480Yeah, I was just even thinking like in that sense, you know, you knew, OK, like I'm frustrated.
00:17:03.980I'm going to voice this frustration to someone, but I'm not going to act irrationally or say something that's going to result in me having to eat my words.
00:17:10.580Because in many of these cases, people make these absurd claims.
00:17:13.740I'm going to drink poison if Trump wins.
00:17:15.580I'm going to move to Canada if Trump wins.
00:17:17.960And then, of course, are not actually interested in following through on their actions.
00:17:21.800So, you know, setting aside this faux outrage from young people seeking attention online, maybe some of these people were genuine.
00:17:29.860I suspect most of it is this deep rooted sense of seeking importance.
00:17:35.260Maybe, you know, they were not loved enough as children.
00:17:37.360Now they're doing these crazy things on the Internet to try to get attention.
00:17:41.160Well, I guess it worked because here we are talking about it on a Canadian news show.
00:17:45.660Now I want to turn attention to some of the people who genuinely did seem surprised at the result of the election last night.
00:17:52.280It's probably because they spent the past few months telling us that Kamala Harris would be the 47th president of the United States of America.
00:18:00.760And, of course, that is our media establishment in the United States.
00:18:04.900They had some pretty funny moments last night as well.
00:18:07.800We're going to start by taking a look at our friends down in the States, in the press corps, and seeing what their shocking response was.
00:18:14.800Most of these clips are taken as things started to turn, and it was very obvious that there was no longer a path for a Kamala Harris victory.
00:18:21.860And you can see some of the commentary, some of the crazy things that they were beginning to say as they try to cope with the news that Donald Trump has won a second presidency.
00:18:32.380So I think this is the point about executive orders is really important.
00:18:36.020We also have to remember that the Supreme Court has essentially said that anything that the president does, you know, while they are in office is, you know, gets granted presidential immunity.
00:18:45.940You know, people have been saying for a while that Joe Biden should take advantage of that.
00:18:50.460Now is the time to take advantage of that.
00:18:53.260The other thing, though, that I think is really important is that.
00:18:55.980And we begin our final sprint, having arrived at that point in the election season where basically we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can.
00:19:05.580We've laid out the stakes in this crucial election where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism.
00:19:13.560Namely, a far right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or Mussolini's Italy, but also white ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black majority took control.
00:19:25.860Or Vladimir Putin's Russia or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Viktor Orban's Hungary or Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela today that suppresses the rights of women and minorities, uses the military to execute the whims of a strongman dictator and controls and suppresses the press.
00:19:44.200Education, education, the arts, rewrites history to suit a favored and dominant racial class and foments extravagant corruption in order to enrich the dictator and his friends.
00:19:57.140Iowa called for Trump, so there goes that nonsense.
00:20:01.040I'm getting revved up here on a significant rant because Kamala Harris is not winning.
00:20:09.800And the people who thought that Kamala Harris was going to win on a landslide are totally wrong.
00:20:14.640So you asked, are there any places that the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden in 2020?
00:21:33.320So I thought it was related to Hunter Biden, but it could be the whole Russia connection and all his corrupt activities.
00:21:42.020You know, I can't think of much else at this point.
00:21:45.580I hadn't actually thought of the Hunter Biden connection or maybe seeking to pardon Hunter before Trump gets into office, even though he's going to basically get away with everything.
00:21:56.600I, you know, to me, it sounded like she was insinuating that Joe Biden should do something to stop Donald Trump from becoming the 47th president.
00:22:06.640I couldn't imagine what she was possibly suggesting there did certainly come across rather nefarious.
00:22:12.480Another very funny clip from the news, Joy Reid, who really never disappoints, like as long as you don't take her seriously and you can watch someone with her without getting worked up.
00:22:22.840It's funnier than most of the comedy that you'll see on TV these days.
00:22:26.480And, you know, she's going on and on about a Trump presidency, comparing him to all these dictators like Adolf Hitler, whatever, whatever.
00:22:33.240However, we've already had a Trump presidency and none of the things that she's saying came to fruition.
00:22:39.020And that's what I'm just that's the part that's like the most flabbergasting to me is like this 2016 outrage is just not working this time around because everyone knows what a Trump presidency look like looks like.
00:22:50.640It's basically just like lower taxes, cuts for big corporations that result in a trickle down effect for the economy.
00:22:57.520But don't rule out the fact that they will try to be as disruptive as possible.
00:23:02.060You know, they talk about the chaos of his presidency.
00:23:07.580It came from the Democratic apologists, the activists, the advocates, the people who stood to gain from being connected with the White House.
00:23:17.080And it and it came from the media, most especially.
00:23:20.080So, you know, I I haven't ruled that out.
00:23:23.300One of my favorite announcers on on Fox News said, you know, some people just won't vote because they don't want to go through the turmoil of 2016 to 20 turmoil caused by the left, not by Republicans.
00:23:40.620OK, and then I think probably one of my favorite parts of the night we've saved the best for last year today was tuning in to the CBC stream.
00:23:52.260This was one of the most inflammatory and outrageous TV broadcasts I've ever seen in my life.
00:23:59.160They had an American Democratic strategist come on who said the craziest stuff last night.
00:24:06.920Like, I think we owe an apology to Americans for some of this ridiculous commentary.
00:24:11.300We've clipped some of the best moments of the night for you.
00:24:14.360You know, I'm just reminded of a time when there was authority to have internment camps and to round up Japanese people and someone who is of Japanese descent.
00:24:23.000When you say I have a concept of a plan, but I'm going to just start mass supporting people.
00:24:28.280What does that look like and what does that mean logistically?
00:24:31.980And then you have this other idea of like, let's make America great and go backwards where America, you know, essentially the power structure in America was, you know, made up mostly of a certain kind of person.
00:25:14.540This is a way to I mean, the things that Trump has done masterfully, frankly, is to get the entire, you know, to get a big part of the population to believe that the game is rigged and to sow distrust in public institutions and the free press.
00:25:37.060That is a tried and true playbook that we have seen time and time before that has resulted in really disastrous things for society.
00:25:48.020When you tell a big enough lie over and over and over, people are going to believe it.
00:25:53.060Even when folks around him like Rudy Giuliani and others have are, you know, have literally been found liable for telling those lies that weren't true, the public still believes it.
00:26:05.060And the whole goal was to erode trust in our public institutions.
00:27:58.240This woman was licking her wounds last night.
00:28:01.320Yes, that's true, because she won't have power in Washington.
00:28:04.880And I think after everyone watches her inflammatory and really just outdated commentary that no one cares about anymore,
00:28:11.900she'll probably also have a hard time even getting those positions on broadcasts, on TV shows, to, you know, to give her take on what's going on.
00:28:21.480I think everyone is going to be like, all right, she's a little too crazy for us.
00:28:41.220Please post in the comment section below and let us know who you think had the craziest response to the 2024 presidential election results won by Donald Trump.
00:28:52.360I look forward to taking a look at all of your comments.
00:28:55.380I have so loved covering the American election for you all.
