Juno News - What do Americans think of Justin Trudeau？

00:00:00.000 We're here in Washington, D.C. for the annual CPAC conference.

00:00:03.520 Donald Trump is headlining the festivities as the American right has gathered in the D.C. swamp.

00:00:09.120 Quite a good lineup of speakers as well.

00:00:10.920 You've got Nigel Farage, the Argentinian president Javier Mille,

00:00:14.760 El Salvador president Nayib Bukele, and former U.K. prime minister Liz Truss.

00:00:20.220 Now it appears that my cameraman and I seem to be the only Canadian media here,

00:00:24.700 which is not that surprising, I have to say.

00:00:26.400 But we're here to figure out what the American conservative right has to say about our esteemed leader, Justin Trudeau.

00:00:33.260 Now in Canada, he's no beloved man, but we're here to figure out what our friends down to the south have to say about Justin Trudeau.

00:00:39.900 Now we're asking people at CPAC what they make of our leader, Justin Trudeau.

00:00:43.640 Do you have any thoughts about our prime minister?

00:00:45.460 He's killed your country. He really has.

00:00:47.700 And I think that, I mean, man, this is tough because I really feel that in the last 10 years,

00:00:55.340 Canada is in a much worse place off than they used to be.

00:00:57.800 If you'll sell us Alberta, we'll take them still.

00:01:00.220 So let Albertans know. We'll take you if you want to come.

00:01:03.840 I'm a big fan of our former President Trump.

00:01:06.900 And so Trudeau's got a ways to go to meet the kind of enthusiasm and respect for his fellow patriots.

00:01:14.420 He's got a ways to go.

00:01:15.540 Yeah, I completely disapprove of Justin Trudeau.

00:01:18.080 I think he's done a terrible job in Canada.

00:01:20.540 You know, I'm actually ashamed. My name is Justin, too.

00:01:22.520 I think he's bringing shame to the name Justin.

00:01:24.880 Trudeau, yeah.

00:01:25.560 So as far as I'm aware, Canada has become a very, like, radical left-wing government.

00:01:29.840 I know, like, I'm a fan of Jordan Peterson, and I know he's been dealing with a lot of issues because of, like, the gender stuff. 0.96

00:01:36.160 I think the pronouns issues and trying to arrest him and put him into a kind of re-education camp because he's not saying she damn pronouns to certain people. 0.82

00:01:45.020 So to me, it's like this country in America, we have free speech.

00:01:48.660 And in Canada, we're trying to get rid of that by enforcing some kind of hate speech ideas on this in that country.

00:01:54.400 So to me, Justin Trudeau is a very bad person.

00:01:57.240 I'm not a fan.

00:01:58.000 I think he's – I'm not allowed to curse on this, am I?

00:02:02.260 Well, you can if you want to. 1.00

00:02:04.260 Oh, well, he's a little bitch. 1.00

00:02:05.880 I think he's the – I'm convinced that he's the bastard son of Fidel Castro. 1.00

00:02:10.880 And I think, sadly, he's trying to – well, you know, what's happening in America with the current election isn't an American experience. 0.94

00:02:18.100 I believe we are in the middle of a balls-to-the-wall global communist revolution.

00:02:25.200 And you're suffering in Canada.

00:02:26.540 I mean, what happened?

00:02:28.800 I mean, what was – your previous prime minister –

00:02:31.060 Stephen Harper.

00:02:31.460 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:31.920 I mean, Harper.

00:02:32.600 I mean, he was a conservative.

00:02:34.300 I know.

00:02:34.700 He was a good man.

00:02:36.520 Oh, he's probably the worst leader in Canadian history.

00:02:39.200 And I don't know much about Canadian history or politics.

00:02:41.500 The only thing I know in particular is that thing he did with the truck drivers.

00:02:48.500 And when he took away – they went into their bank accounts and stopped them able to transfer money.

00:02:56.680 That is – I mean, just that one action.

00:02:59.280 Anybody that would countenance that of stealing that from people.

00:03:04.660 I don't know.

00:03:06.180 He's kind of like our Biden, in a way, or Obama here.

00:03:09.580 Yeah.

00:03:10.180 And I think they are – communists, in a way.

00:03:15.560 I really think he's a puppet of the globalists, and I don't have much respect for him.

00:03:19.720 I consider him in the same category as our, you know, fascist, communist, Democrat party right now. 0.94

00:03:25.920 I think the only word I can say about him is just horrible. 0.96

00:03:30.600 Just a horrible prime minister.

00:03:34.160 I mean, I have never seen anyone like him who just does not care about the nation.

00:03:41.640 I don't like him.

00:03:42.600 I don't think much of him at all.

00:03:44.680 I think what he did to the truckers by freezing their accounts or taking their money is not the way things should be done.

00:03:52.000 Terrible. 0.99

00:03:52.960 Manchild, liberal, communist clown show. 1.00

00:03:55.160 You guys should be an embarrassment that he is now your prime minister, and he continues to stay there while he enslaves your people. 0.99

00:04:02.740 This has got to be one of the worst egregious examples of an absolute facade that's going on with this guy. 0.66

00:04:10.020 I mean, Canadians who are proud and free people are now acquiescing to the whims of this absolute, tyrannical, quasi-communist.

00:04:19.740 What he put out the other day is now he's going to censor hate speech.

00:04:23.500 Well, let me tell you what hate speech is.

00:04:25.400 Anything he doesn't like.

00:04:26.540 That's what hate speech is. 0.99

00:04:27.960 He is an embarrassment to your country. 1.00

00:04:30.180 He is a complete and utter joke. 1.00

00:04:32.180 Worse than his father could ever have been.

00:04:34.540 And the next question we have for people here is, if you had to pick between Joe Biden as your leader or Justin Trudeau as your leader, and you could only pick one or the other, who would it be?

00:04:43.460 Well, I'd certainly pick Joe Biden because he has less of a shelf life.

00:04:46.540 So from a purely Machiavellian standpoint, I would do that.

00:04:49.260 Not wishing any harm on anybody or a premature demise, but just from an analytical standpoint.

00:04:55.400 Justin Trudeau, probably.

00:04:56.740 And why is that?

00:04:57.260 I don't know.

00:04:58.680 The last of the two poisons, maybe.

00:05:00.800 That's a hard choice.

00:05:04.220 I mean, I feel like Joe Biden's not really running things anyway.

00:05:09.480 Maybe Justin Trudeau, because at least he has a brain.

00:05:12.900 Oh, my Lord.

00:05:13.780 Probably Trudeau, because at least he can do complete sentences.

00:05:16.940 Joe Biden is, like, bombing the entire nation, supplying wars, right?

00:05:21.060 Justin Trudeau is trying to put us in prison for hate speech laws.

00:05:25.120 So, I mean, I really cannot answer either one.

00:05:27.800 Both of them have to be, like, put in prison. 0.98

00:05:29.840 Both are horrible people.

00:05:31.480 So I have to say, it was a bit surprising to hear how much Americans know about Justin Trudeau, about our leader. 0.94

00:05:37.220 They have quite a lot to say.

00:05:38.280 A lot of it had to do with the fact that he's a communist, he's a socialist.

00:05:41.580 So, not too surprising, but a little bit surprising to know just the detail to which Americans have been paying attention to Canada.

00:05:48.580 Something worth considering.

00:05:49.640 Now, we did get to speak to some VIP guests.

00:05:52.040 We were able to speak with Nigel Farage, of all people.

00:05:54.840 He spoke about the state of the Tory party in his country, and he had a message for Conservatives in Canada.

00:06:00.080 Take a listen.

00:06:01.020 So, the Tories in the UK seem headed for a certain electoral defeat as they have drifted away from Conservative values.

00:06:07.720 What does the Tory party in your country need to do to get back on the right path?

00:06:11.580 Lose.

00:06:12.860 Lose and rethink who they are. 0.73

00:06:14.520 They don't stand for anything.

00:06:16.320 I mean, literally, it's a party up in careerists.

00:06:19.600 They're Social Democrats along with Conservatives.

00:06:22.040 They've broken a whole host of election promises.

00:06:24.580 In particular, the promises that Brexit made to the British people, and they've got a lot of those things.

00:06:31.440 Frankly, it's a strong word, but they've betrayed the right of the British people.

00:06:35.180 And they need to lose.

00:06:36.800 They will lose.

00:06:38.020 And maybe they've got a chance to rethink who they are.

00:06:39.660 Conservatives in Canada seem to be on the same sort of path as the Tories in the UK.

00:06:45.240 They are afraid to address politically incorrect issues, namely on immigration.

00:06:49.960 We don't have the sort of legal threat, but we have a sort of legal immigration to flood in our country. 0.99

00:06:54.540 What would you be your message, maybe Conservatives who are afraid to touch on these important issues that are shaping our country, but they also need to?

00:07:01.480 You know, I was told, when I was a lifelong campaigner to do the European Union, I've always told, it's a minority of you.

00:07:09.400 Everyone's their double-trust.

00:07:10.420 You know, if you're right, I'm less than the Indian Conservatives. 0.88

00:07:13.700 If actually, in the country, outside big cities, away from mainstream media, you'd be amazed at all the same people.

00:07:20.780 So, last question for you.

00:07:22.260 We're asking people here what they think of our leader, Justin Trudeau.

00:07:25.380 I'm sure we're going to come into something.

00:07:26.860 What do you think of Justin Trudeau?

00:07:27.880 I'd rather ask.

00:07:28.860 We also had a chance to speak with Miklos Santo, the CPAC Hungary chairman.

00:07:33.680 We spoke about the fertility rate in Hungary and how the Hungarian government has been successful at turning that around.

00:07:39.400 We also spoke about what the situation is in Canada and how Conservatives should approach that issue, the demographics issue.

00:07:47.000 Take a listen.

00:07:48.060 All right, so we're here at CPAC and we're here with the chairman of CPAC Hungary, Miklos Santo.

00:07:53.440 Tell me about what Hungary has been able to do to turn around your birth rate. 0.95

00:07:57.700 I know that's been a policy that we've heard about in Canada, in our country.

00:08:00.860 We have a plummeting birth rate and nobody seems willing to actually address this issue.

00:08:05.000 Thank you very much for having me on the show.

00:08:07.580 Look, at the heart or at the core of Hungary's family policy is to create a so-called work-fair society instead of welfare society.

00:08:19.140 Meaning that the government launched 10, 14 years ago a program which literally forces or encourages at least via the taxation system everyone to join the labor market.

00:08:34.360 Meaning that all of the social benefits were cut, which social benefits were not related to having a job.

00:08:46.480 And all of the social benefits, including tax benefits and many other literally money related to having a family and having children were attached to your income, to your legal salary.

00:09:02.180 That meant a very high, very intensive rise in employment and actually the unemployment rate in Hungary is around 3%.

00:09:12.060 So actually who can work nowadays in Hungary is on the job market and works.

00:09:17.800 And the important thing which relates to the family policy and to the rise in the birth rates is that if you're in the job market and if you establish your family and if you have one children, two, three, four, etc.

00:09:39.900 The more tax benefits, the more tax benefits, the more money you get from the state, I know it sounds a little bit socialistic, but that's the way how we can how we can do this.

00:09:51.320 Because I think conservatives, I think conservatives shouldn't be dogmatic if it comes to important issues.

00:09:56.160 So if you're in the job market and you do have a legal income and if you have a family and if you have the more children, the less tax you pay.

00:10:05.880 For example, mothers, women after four children and from the next year after three children, they do not pay any income tax. 0.51

00:10:13.960 So the idea, the ideology behind this whole structure is to get people on the job market and to give them as many tax cuts, tax benefits and state fund as possible if they do work.

00:10:30.600 And of course, additionally, for women, there are extra special programs if they are not able to join the labor market because they are at home with the children. 0.90

00:10:46.040 Then they come, then they get extras from the state, but only if they do have children and only if they are at home and not on the job market because they spend their time with their family.

00:10:58.900 We found another Canadian at CPAC, that being Chris Pavlowski, the CEO of Rumble.

00:11:04.360 Take a listen to what we talked about, specifically about the state of free speech in Canada and what the future looks like for Rumble.

00:11:11.580 Let me know what you think about the state of the Canadian free speech, basically the state of free speech in Canada.

00:11:18.920 We have Bill C-18 and Bill C-11 that have come through that have severely restricted Canadians' access to getting content out there.

00:11:25.940 You, with Rumble, you've been able to fight back against that.

00:11:28.700 What do you think of what's going on in your home country, Canada?

00:11:31.780 A lot of it's very disappointing with these bills that we're seeing come out.

00:11:36.100 None of it is at the point where we're in trouble yet, but there are things that we're kind of fighting and we're kind of pushing back against.

00:11:45.740 And Rumble, I think, is at the forefront of that.

00:11:48.440 We're the tip of the spear when it comes to pushing for freedom of expression, allowing people to have authentic conversations,

00:11:54.140 really hear what people believe and give their own opinions.

00:11:58.120 And what we're seeing with a lot of these bills is restricting that.

00:12:01.640 You're not going to be able to know who the person is in front of you.

00:12:03.860 And you kind of want to know who the person is in front of you.

00:12:06.180 You want to know who you're listening to.

00:12:07.880 You don't want to hear a talking head that's being told what to say.

00:12:10.440 You want to hear authenticity.

00:12:11.420 You want to hear real, live conversations.

00:12:15.460 And that's what we provide at Rumble.

00:12:17.060 And that's what we're pushing back against.

00:12:19.980 But, you know, till now, right, obviously, Bill C-11, we don't believe it's going to be what, you know, we thought it was going to be on the worst side.

00:12:29.880 So that's looking promising.

00:12:31.840 But it is very disappointing with a lot of the things that we have seen, for sure.

00:12:35.820 And you guys started in Canada, right, but you had to leave the country.

00:12:39.060 And we say that a lot with a bunch of companies who are having to leave the country because they're not creating an environment that's good for companies to thrive.

00:12:47.940 Take us through that whole process and why you guys had to leave Canada.

00:12:51.820 Well, we're still in Canada, number one.

00:12:54.360 We did start there.

00:12:56.180 I'm still a Canadian.

00:12:57.700 And we still have a presence in Canada.

00:13:00.140 We're not going to leave.

00:13:01.520 We're not planning to leave the country.

00:13:02.960 I think it's very important that we maintain our roots there and we really push back against, you know, bills that we think that are not good.

00:13:14.960 Ones that don't, you know, inherit the values that even the Canadian Bill of Rights has, freedom of expression.

00:13:22.240 I think people forget that freedom of expression is actually a human right.

00:13:26.840 If you take a look at the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19, it's freedom of expression.

00:13:35.740 This is a basic fundamental human right.

00:13:38.620 And as a company that was born in Canada and as a Canadian myself, it's very important for me to continue to fight there and to really push back and, you know, kind of push the pendulum back to normalcy.

00:13:52.780 And I think we're kind of seeing that.

00:13:54.980 Rumble has been, like, one of the main guards, the tip of the spear in that fight.

00:13:59.420 You know, you had Truth Social emerge and now you have Elon Musk purchasing X.

00:14:03.560 You're starting to see the pushback happen.

00:14:05.620 You're starting to see a lot of people vocalize in Canada.

00:14:08.680 And I do think the pendulum is swinging back in our favor.

00:14:11.740 And I personally and as the company really want to be at the forefront of helping that happen.

00:14:19.600 Rumble has grown exponentially over the past few years.

00:14:23.060 What's the future for your company?

00:14:24.440 What do you see as going to be the next step you guys take?

00:14:28.620 Yeah.

00:14:29.240 So when it comes to Rumble, I look at it as two lanes of business for us.

00:14:33.540 The first lane is the video platform where creators can, you know, express themselves, do live streams, video.

00:14:41.820 And the other side of the business will be Rumble Cloud.

00:14:44.140 So it'll be one will be the infrastructure business and the other one will be the video platform business.

00:14:48.640 So those are the two things that I see as very important for Rumble in the future and the two things that I'll be pushing very, very, I'll be very focused on going forward.

00:14:56.980 And we also caught up with Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigrations, Customs and Enforcement under Donald Trump.

00:15:05.140 We've heard a lot about what's going on in the southern border in the United States, but not a lot about what's going on in the northern border and how Canada has played a role in facilitating illegal crossings into the United States.

00:15:15.460 Listen to some of the detail he talks about here about what's going on on the U.S. northern border.

00:15:20.700 So what do you make of what's been going on there?

00:15:22.720 There's not a lot of noise that comes up to Canada about the problems that America faces from a northern border.

00:15:27.440 But do you think the U.S. needs to take that more seriously?

00:15:29.820 Absolutely.

00:15:30.700 You know, last year, last fiscal year in FY23, 227 people off the terrorist watch list crossed the southern border that were arrested.

00:15:40.160 At the same time, 432 across the northern border.

00:15:42.940 Remember the...

00:15:44.940 You're a good man.

00:15:46.100 You're a good man and a patriot.

00:15:47.780 I love it.

00:15:50.400 Remember, after 9-11, GAO did a study, and they said that a terrorist crossing the northern border is ten times more likely than one crossing the southern border.

00:16:03.680 And the number of people off the terrorist watch list that crossed the northern border last year are almost double the southern border.

00:16:07.660 We never talk about it.

00:16:08.440 But crossings in the northern border are up 400 to 600 percent, depending on what sector you're looking at.

00:16:13.280 I grew up near Alex Bay, you know, again, in Akwe, Kingston area, and their numbers are sky high.

00:16:20.340 So, and the problem is with the Canadian border, we got very few border patrol agents up there, and half of them have been assigned to the southern border,

00:16:28.160 which means there's very little patrol on the northern border at all, so it's a big national security vulnerability.

00:16:33.600 Absolutely.

00:16:34.360 Well, I think for a lot of people who are not in the United States, they look at what's been going on at the southern border,

00:16:39.120 and they're just wondering why it seems that nothing is actually taking place,

00:16:43.320 why no enforcement under the current administration is taking place.

00:16:46.760 What do you make of the fact that under Joe Biden, things have skyrocketed across the southern border,

00:16:51.320 and from a lot of people's perspective, nothing is actually being done?

00:16:54.680 Nothing is being done.

00:16:55.680 This isn't incompetence.

00:16:58.160 It isn't mismanagement.

00:16:59.280 This is by design.

00:17:00.960 This is open borders.

00:17:01.980 This is what they ran on, and they're keeping a promise,

00:17:04.320 because they see some future political benefit out of an open border.

00:17:08.520 They think these millions of people will be future Democratic voters, but people need to be reminded.

00:17:13.480 They don't even have to vote, because President Biden also overturned the Trump census rule,

00:17:18.820 which means millions of these illegal aliens are going to be counted in the next census in sanctuary cities,

00:17:24.800 so when they reproportionate seats in the House, this automatically means more seats in the House for the Dems.

00:17:30.260 It means perpetual power, perpetual control.

00:17:32.680 They sold this country out for power.

00:17:34.160 Last question for you, Mr. Holman.

00:17:35.780 We're asking attendees at CPAC what they think of our leader, Justin Trudeau.

00:17:39.520 Do you have any thoughts about Justin Trudeau?

00:17:42.580 You need to find a better man.

00:17:44.320 Well, that wraps up our coverage for CPAC Day 1.

00:17:46.280 We'll be here for the rest of the conference throughout the week.

00:17:48.980 Stay tuned for more on True North.

00:18:04.160 Thank you.
