00:13:34.180He had a cabinet meeting on December 20th.
00:13:37.280And I think he uttered two sentences to the media on the way out, talking about what a great cabinet meeting he just had.
00:13:45.120With people he had just given new jobs, titles, and pay raises, along with, you know, the car and driver and all of that.
00:13:51.640Of course, they loved being in their very first cabinet meeting.
00:13:55.580After that, he hides out for Christmas.
00:13:57.620He flies to B.C. in a silent, then comes back and holds another meeting virtually of the Canada-U.S. Cabinet Relations Committee on Friday.
00:15:26.200You know, I don't have a lot of confidence, nor does anybody else, that the Trudeau guys would be representing us well with Trump on the tariffs.
00:15:33.520But, you know, it would be helpful if they did something, and it doesn't look like they're doing anything.
00:15:40.440It looks like we're just drifting towards absolute disaster, doesn't it?
00:15:45.140Look, it's not just the Liberal Party that's heading for disaster.
00:15:50.760And you used to be part of this organization.
00:15:54.820I know there is a view that, you know, kind of the Louis XIV, the I am the state, the state is me, the Liberal Party is Canada, Canada is the Liberal Party.
00:16:06.920One of the things that I love that Pierre Pauliev said in his interview with Jordan Peterson, which maybe we'll chat about in a minute, is 41 million Canadians are not obliged to sit around and wait for the Liberal Party to get their shit together before we have an election.
00:16:30.040We don't need the Liberal Party to gather in private, in secret on Wednesday for six hours to talk about what their future looks like.
00:16:39.960What we need is an election, because what is required right now is to have a functioning government with an actual mandate to deal not only with Trump, but everything else going on in the country.
00:16:53.860This guy doesn't have the confidence of his own party.
00:16:59.480My understanding is that he wants to somehow find a way.
00:17:03.500You know, the Lawrence Martin argument aside, one of the things I've heard is that he's trying to find a way to stay on until June so that he can chair the G7 meeting in Kananaskis.
00:17:17.180Is that a reason to hold the country hostage, you want to chair the next G7 meeting?
00:18:05.560And then I ran into Harper after one of his speeches and he came up to me and he's like, hey, Warren, how are you doing on your prediction about abortion and gay marriage?
00:18:14.920So I had to eat a shit sandwich on that one.
00:20:13.540What I've been telling everyone about Paglia for a long time is, if you just think he's an angry man all the time, then you don't know him.
00:20:21.120You haven't spent time listening to him.
00:20:22.980You're just getting the clips that David Cochran wants to show you on CBC.
00:20:50.540And what, you know, the people who are freaking out about Paglia, it's like what I told conservatives about Trudeau.
00:20:59.180So, the guy, no one is ever as bad as their detractors, right?
00:21:04.980And you've got to take them for who they are and what they are.
00:21:09.820That's what every leader and, you know, countries will outlive bad governments.
00:21:18.820The bad governments will do some damage, but they're going to outlive them.
00:21:21.520And even if Paglia does make mistakes, the country will survive.
00:21:25.160But he shows himself in this interview and to anyone that talks to him to be a reasonable, rational person who has points of view that you can agree with or disagree with, but he's not going to wreck the place.
00:21:39.880Because this interview to me was like passing the audition where mom and dad know they want to go away for the weekend and can they leave you at the house alone or are you going to throw a keg?
00:21:51.840Well, 42 million, you know, 42 million people can't be wrong.
00:21:57.580Well, I guess some of them can be, but like it tells a story.
00:22:00.420Maybe we should end here because, you know, you, people should pay attention to you.
00:22:06.360I say to them all the time, not just because you know how to laugh, but also you are a media machine.
00:22:13.720You know, you're not only just producing news and opinion columns.
00:22:19.060You know, Brian is doing videos, folks, all the time that attract many more views than the at issues panel on CBC gets.
00:22:30.100And you look what happened with Jordan Peterson and Pierre Polyev and the way in which the Republicans in the presidential campaign conducted their media and focusing on podcasts and alternative media and obviously worked out for them.
00:22:44.860The media, Adam, has, has split a million times, hasn't it?
00:22:50.660Like everything's changed and political parties have to change too, don't they?
