00:00:00.000 It's the KinsellaCast, starring Warren Kinsella.
00:00:21.840 Hey, it's Warren. Welcome to the KinsellaCast. How does my voice sound to you? Does it sound
00:00:27.620 all right? I'm using a new microphone, a new Shure. It's an MV5, I think. And I had to
00:00:39.160 get it. It all relates to the dogs. I was in the lake, and I brought in my phone so I could
00:00:46.520 take a picture of Tommy jumping into the lake for the first time. Tommy didn't jump into
00:00:51.340 the lake. My phone got wet. Clients started to say they couldn't understand me, which
00:00:56.780 is something that happens quite often. So I had to get a new phone. I had to get an
00:01:00.660 iPhone 16, which has got a USB-C instead of the lightning thing. The European Union told
00:01:08.160 Apple, quit screwing around. Anyway, long story short, I had to get a new microphone, and this
00:01:14.940 is it, and hopefully it sounds good. And if it doesn't, blame the dogs, because I was in
00:01:20.860 the lake, and it got the phone wet, and that's the end of the phone. Other technical problems.
00:01:27.860 Last week, John Mraz was on the show, but you'd never know that, because for some reason, it
00:01:35.700 got cut off when I was uploading it. Part of a radio segment I had was also cut off. I have
00:01:43.480 no idea what happened. I apologize to John. I spoke to him again today, Saturday, and now
00:01:51.980 I can't find the audio. So I'm wondering if John's got some secret spy thing on his phone.
00:01:58.860 Anyway, hopefully he and I can work this out, and he will be on this show. And if not, I think
00:02:05.600 I need to buy him a phone. I think that's what I got to do. So anyway, apologies to John.
00:02:10.720 Apologies to you guys. Hopefully we get that all sorted out. Great show this week, however,
00:02:17.420 with Mr. Lilly talking about all things political. Also, Alex Pearson and I talking about the bubble
00:02:24.180 zone law in Toronto and elsewhere in the wake of the terrible shooting of the young couple
00:02:30.740 in Washington. God bless them, and God bless their memory. Then I'm on with Ben Moroney and
00:02:37.960 my buddy Brad Levine from the NDP and Kate Harrison from the Tories. It was great. We
00:02:43.760 did it video like it wasn't audio. And I can tell you, like I've got a face for radio. Okay.
00:02:51.080 I'm not sure they should do this, but they did got cut off at one point. But anyway, they're
00:02:55.680 working the bugs out. So I'll have that and hopefully John Mraz. Things I definitely have
00:03:01.960 is I've got Horse Girl. Horse Girl with this song called Switch Over. This is, I think, the
00:03:08.360 song of the summer. Since I discovered this, their second album actually did not blow me
00:03:13.620 away. But this song did. And I think it is extraordinary. And Horse Girl are from Chicago.
00:03:20.620 They're all about 15 years old. No, no kidding. Nora Chang, Penelope Lowenstein, and Gigi Ricci.
00:03:30.500 And they're brilliant. And this song is genius. So you're going to love it. Lorelei, this is
00:03:36.500 Lorelei, is Nate Amos, no relation, from New York. And he's recorded hundreds of songs under
00:03:45.860 the, this is Lorelei name. And this is one of the best, I think. But you just woke me up.
00:03:56.680 And anyway, it's a good song. Softplay next with Chokehold. They're an English punk duo.
00:04:03.440 So they got Isaac Holman on lead vocals and drums, and Laurie Vincent doing backing vocals,
00:04:08.940 guitar and bass. This song came out in 2024 and has had a billion downloads. It reminds me actually,
00:04:15.120 of a song that Shit From Hell used to do. Long story. Then something cool. Low by David Bowie.
00:04:26.920 Recorded in Berlin with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti. Low is one of my favorite albums of all time.
00:04:34.900 It's in the top 10 list. It was introduced to me in high school at Bishop Carroll in Calgary
00:04:39.440 by John Henderson and Colin Tomlins and some others, Lee Hill. And I love that record. And this song
00:04:48.540 is new. This is a new song, previously unheard by me, at least. And it's from those sessions. I'm going
00:04:56.720 to play you that. And then finally, Stevie, can I? I don't know how you pronounce her last name. But
00:05:04.340 anyway, she's from Harrison, New York, in a band with several other people. It's adult low. Finally,
00:05:10.100 I'm getting around to it. It's quiet. Quiet can be good. I can be quiet sometimes, not always, but
00:05:17.980 sometimes like a me quiet. And so yeah, I wanted to talk to you about Mark Carney. Like what kind of
00:05:30.420 a government can we expect from him? The election campaign did not provide us with much in the way
00:05:38.480 of answers. Like voters had strong opinions about Conservative leader Pierre Palliot and NDP leader
00:05:45.120 Jagmeet Singh. Both lost the election. Both lost their seats. But Carney, he flaunts us still. He
00:05:55.480 remains an enigma wrapped in a riddle. He is a mystery man. What can we expect from his government?
00:06:01.580 It is unclear. For example, his finance minister, Francois-Philippe Champagne, Frankie Bubbles,
00:06:08.000 as Brian Lilly calls him, declared that there would be no budget this year. That caused a big stir. So
00:06:14.280 Carney then overruled his minister from Rome and said that there would be, in fact, a budget in the
00:06:19.240 fall. Okay. Here's another one. Carney's newly minted housing minister, Gregor Robertson, stepped on a
00:06:26.600 policy landmine and proclaimed that housing prices should not, and this is what he said, not go down.
00:06:36.020 That too caused an uproar. And asked about Robertson's mistake, Carney said, well,
00:06:41.420 this is a quote. I want to read this to you. We're talking about time horizons. Once we increase
00:06:49.220 the rate of home building as a country, then that is going to make home prices much lower than they
00:06:56.460 would otherwise be. But that's a medium term effect. Time horizons, medium term effect. If anybody can
00:07:06.680 understand any of any of that or even explain it, congratulations, you have a master's degree
00:07:12.160 in Carney speak. Another example, Stephen Guibo is blessedly no longer the minister of the environment
00:07:19.660 and post shuffle. That did not stop uneven Stephen from pronouncing on the issue. And this, he said,
00:07:27.020 basically, we shouldn't be talking about building new infrastructure for a pipeline. Let's use what
00:07:33.800 we've got. And he said, as far as I know, there are no investors right now. There are no companies
00:07:38.660 that are saying they want to build an east-west pipeline. Well, no, Stephen, that's not what
00:07:45.580 Mark Carney said either. One, just one day before, the liberal prime minister told CTV, if you want a
00:07:53.800 simple answer on will I support building a pipeline? Yes, that's the simple answer. I've given that
00:07:59.120 multiple times. Gotcha. Those are just a few of the ministerial mangled messages that have taken
00:08:07.700 place in recent days. But Carney has personally added to the pile as well. For example, during the
00:08:14.220 election, he gave everybody the impression that Canada was forcibly responding to every single one of
00:08:22.660 Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. And he issued press releases on it and so on mid-election.
00:08:30.280 After the vote, well, as we've learned via Bloomberg, the vast majority of the reciprocal tariffs
00:08:37.200 had been paused by Carney's administration in secret. Now, Frankie Bubbles angrily denied that. He said
00:08:47.780 that 70% of the reciprocal tariffs were still in place. But whatever the reality, the message had
00:08:53.400 again been muddled. Here's another one. Trump reportedly wants a golden dome, that's what he
00:08:59.600 calls it, over North America, presumably, not golden showers, golden dome, presumably to protect us from
00:09:06.840 the terrible North Korean Navy threat. And Carney, who had March 27th declared our relationship with the
00:09:13.140 United States over, was now talking about a golden dome with the United States, whatever a golden dome
00:09:20.280 is, less than two months later. Our relationship with the U.S. really isn't over, is it? Murky mark.
00:09:29.080 And then there, of course, is that old Pearson building favorite, the bulging inconsistency on Israel file.
00:09:37.000 Well, Carney's been all over the map on the Jewish state, threatening undefined action against it on
00:09:43.860 Monday, and then on Thursday, offering prayers for the entire Jewish community. Which is it? The
00:09:51.140 answers, again, are elusive. Criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu's increasingly isolated government is
00:09:57.900 totally acceptable. It's not anti-Semitic. It's acceptable. But remaining distant on attacks on Jews in
00:10:05.660 Canada is not, ever. Prime Minister Carney needs to pick a lane. Anyway, that's the problem across the
00:10:12.340 board, isn't it? It's hard to figure out from one day to the next where Mark Carney and his government
00:10:16.600 stand on any number of important issues, whether it's budgets, or housing, or energy, or Trump, or
00:10:23.500 Israel. Like, it's messy. And the National Post's Christopher Nardi opened up, offered up a fascinating
00:10:30.600 explanation in Friday's papers. Carney, Nardi said, is revealing himself to be an obsessive micromanager. He's
00:10:39.140 getting way too far into the weeds, which is always a good way to miss the proverbial forests or the trees,
00:10:45.680 isn't it? And whatever the cause, the ailment is there for all to see. Near total message incoherence. And a government
00:10:56.400 whose priorities, you know, are as clear as mud.
00:11:26.400 Say, say, say, say, say, what you wanna say. Say, say, say, say, what you wanna say.
00:11:55.400 Switch over, switch over, switch over
00:12:25.400 Switch over, switch over, switch over, switch over
00:12:55.400 Switch over, switch over, switch over
00:13:25.400 Switch over, switch over
00:13:55.380 Switch over, switch over, switch over, switch over
00:13:57.380 Switch over, switch over, switch over
00:13:59.380 Switch over, switch over, switch over
00:14:01.380 And we're back, and we're back with my friend Brian Lilley, and Brian just came back from John Micotishian's, what is it called? Conservative Leadership?
00:14:10.380 The Conservative Leadership Foundation.
00:14:12.380 Right, and I've spoken at it a couple times before, even though I'm not a Conservative, and John is always open to hearing different voices. So you were there to talk about what happened in that federal election thing that happened a few weeks ago. So why don't you give us a taste of what you said to the assembled crowd?
00:15:03.180 Really talk about Doug Ford and the provincial word. But, you know, there was some applause when I said, you know, if you guys want to win, you got to stop having purity tests and saying, oh, you're not a real Conservative. We don't want to talk to you. I said, you either have to get everyone on your team rowing in the same direction, or just accept that you're not going to win. And I wasn't sure how that would be received.
00:15:33.180 It got applause. People definitely agreed with that. And, yeah, so Tash and I were breaking down where we felt that things change. I invoked your name, and not in vain.
00:15:46.780 I said that shortly after Trudeau had resigned, I was doing a Batra's burning question with Adrian Batra and Warren Kinsella. And Adrian said, Brian, what does this mean? I said something about how I think the Liberals can win the next election. And I said, if you find the video of Warren, he'll look like he's going to fall over. Because you thought I was nuts when I said that.
00:16:15.660 I was surprised. But you were right. As I was right about Justin Trudeau leaving, you still owe me a lunch, by the way.
00:16:24.980 Yeah, well, come to town and actually meet me at the Patricia and you'll get your lunch. Don't just whine about it.
00:16:31.360 So they didn't want to talk about Doug Ford, who's the winner. That's interesting. Does that mean something?
00:16:38.640 I didn't sense any animosity. I think it was, how did we lose this thing?
00:16:44.360 And, you know, you and I have written about it. We've pontificated. We've talked about it. But, you know, I still think not pivoting at the right time, was it?
00:16:56.600 Now, I'm going to disagree with our friend, Corey Tanik, who said they've got to pivot to talk about Donald Trump more.
00:17:02.960 I believe some of the analysis that says if they talked about Trump more and not the other issues that was motivating the people voting for them, they could have reinforced the liberal message and help the liberals.
00:17:16.700 So, but, I mean, there were things they could have done. Like, they didn't pivot to the fact that Trudeau was gone right away or early enough.
00:17:27.300 Mark Carney's line in the debate, Justin Trudeau's not here.
00:17:31.380 And then Pierre's line before that, you know, just like Justin, it's like, fuck, Pierre, if I've tried to find a guy who was not like Justin Trudeau, it would be Mark Carney.
00:17:42.080 That couldn't be more different. But Carney, like, I mean, did you guys talk about how he's doing so far?
00:17:47.940 Because I don't think he's doing that shit hot.
00:17:50.220 A little bit. We, you know, I spoke a bit about the column that I wrote in response to Chris Nardi's really good piece in the National Post that detailed the difference.
00:18:03.220 Yeah, excellent piece.
00:18:03.780 And you read it for the context, right? But, you know, my takeaway in the column was, we're excited about the fact that the Prime Minister is on time, that he's punctual, that he expects other people to be punctual,
00:18:19.020 that he expects results, that he wears a suit and wants proper spelling.
00:18:24.560 Like, that's how low Justin Trudeau lowered the bar.
00:18:28.740 It's so true.
00:18:30.240 You're describing every PMO I covered, and I covered Harper and Martin and Crankin.
00:18:37.660 I don't go far back enough to have covered Mulroney.
00:18:41.580 But, you know, I covered all those guys.
00:18:43.640 And, yeah, that's how things are supposed to operate.
00:18:46.020 And then they didn't for so long that we're excited about the fact that, hey, this guy acts like an adult.
00:18:54.020 And I'm like, doesn't this be the bare minimum?
00:18:57.740 Hold on a second. I dropped you.
00:19:00.960 Hold on a second.
00:19:02.220 You got me so excited there, I dropped the phone.
00:19:05.060 You're laughing so much.
00:19:06.460 Do you hear me?
00:19:06.860 You know, yeah.
00:19:07.660 Hold on a second.
00:19:07.980 So.
00:19:09.560 Where the heck?
00:19:10.220 Oh, God damn it.
00:19:14.400 Okay, there we go.
00:19:16.140 Are you back with your phone?
00:19:17.900 You figured it out how it works?
00:19:18.700 I'll have to edit that.
00:19:21.280 There we go.
00:19:21.920 Okay.
00:19:22.260 So, yeah.
00:19:23.180 So, the adult.
00:19:24.320 So, do the adult thing again.
00:19:25.780 That made me.
00:19:26.400 Well, maybe I'll just say, the reason why we broke up there, folks, is Brian made me laugh so hard that I dropped the phone.
00:19:34.560 So, we've been doing this for a couple of weeks now.
00:19:37.120 Like, when Carney said in his first news conference after the election, yeah, I'll call a by-election for pure polio as quick as possible.
00:19:46.020 No games.
00:19:47.140 Everyone's like, oh, wow, that's magnanimous of you.
00:19:51.080 It's like, no, that's how things used to work.
00:19:54.140 Trudeau was just like, you know, he's such a departure.
00:19:58.080 But I was asked at one point, you know, if I'm worried about the future of the country with him, and is he going to be radical like Trudeau?
00:20:06.940 And it's like, I honestly don't know, and I'm not sure if he does or his cabinet does.
00:20:11.420 Back to your point about them not being too shit hot.
00:20:15.300 You know, the first couple of weeks, who is Mark Carney?
00:20:19.580 How is he going to govern?
00:20:20.680 I'm not sure I'd buy the idea that he's a blue liberal.
00:20:24.580 Will he be a green radical?
00:20:26.380 Well, I don't know.
00:20:27.720 Like, what Mark Carney is going to be there?
00:20:32.300 Does his cabinet know their roles?
00:20:34.520 Apparently not, based off of their first week.
00:20:38.520 But, you know, did he crack the whip?
00:20:39.920 I got to wonder what that first cabinet meeting or the cabinet meeting this last Tuesday was like.
00:20:47.040 The cabinet retreat that they had, where, you know, just days earlier, Carney had to step out of the Pope's inaugural mass and say, oh, by the way, there will be a budget.
00:20:59.520 Ouch.
00:20:59.720 You know, was he pointing at Frankie Bubbles a lot and saying, cork it?
00:21:04.340 A little bit.
00:21:06.760 A little bit.
00:21:07.620 It's not exact.
00:21:08.720 It's quite a repudiation that he has to do that at the Pope's funeral.
00:21:12.480 And so, like, and then all the others, like, did he give them a straighten up and fly right talking to?
00:21:21.140 They needed it.
00:21:22.800 They need, like, on housing, on energy, on the budgets, on Israel.
00:21:28.280 Like, you know, it's like, who's on first?
00:21:30.840 Like, pick a lane, you know?
00:21:32.940 Where are you guys going?
00:21:34.420 And it, you know, that's the column I wrote, as you know, for Post Media this weekend is, I can't figure it out.
00:21:41.000 Yeah.
00:21:41.440 So, I was asking, are you worried about the direction of country?
00:21:45.140 I said, I don't think we know where we're going yet, and I don't think he does either.
00:21:48.580 So, we'll see.
00:21:49.580 The mandate letter thing, I found interesting.
00:21:53.220 I'm not a big fan of mandate letters.
00:21:55.520 Yeah, who cares?
00:21:56.580 Being public, and, like, there's been a big court case all the way to the Supreme Court to try and get Doug Ford to force him to release his mandate letter.
00:22:04.420 If a mandate letter is public, it tells you nothing.
00:22:06.700 If they think it's going to be made public, it tells you nothing.
00:22:10.540 But Carney just did one mandate letter for the whole thing, basically said, here's our priorities, everyone focus on this.
00:22:16.480 Yeah, big deal.
00:22:17.280 And like you pointed out, like, you know, I was chief of staff to different cabinet ministers.
00:22:23.040 Like, I couldn't tell you what was in our mandate letters.
00:22:26.120 You know, it's, the prime minister picks up the phone and tells you to do something, you do it.
00:22:30.760 That's your mandate.
00:22:31.960 Yeah, that's, you know, people think.
00:22:34.420 There's always long-term planning in government.
00:22:36.740 No, it's falling from one crisis into the next, and then you think you're through it, and something comes out of left field and takes all your attention.
00:22:46.720 I mean, and that's regardless of party or level.
00:22:50.440 That's just how it is.
00:22:51.440 Well, interesting poll came out, speaking of direction.
00:22:57.560 I don't know who did this.
00:22:58.700 Maybe it was Reid, maybe it was Abacus, saying, you know, what's the main reason you, Canadian voter, think that the Tories lost the election?
00:23:08.460 And the issue ahead of the policies, policies was number two.
00:23:14.220 Number one was Pierre Polyev.
00:23:16.920 What do you think about that kind of result?
00:23:20.120 And if it's true, if your gut tells you it's right, are the Tories making a mistake with, you know, sticking with this guy?
00:23:27.860 So I haven't looked at the full poll, but if the number that's sticking in my head is 48% said they didn't like Pierre Polyev.
00:23:34.700 That's right.
00:23:37.080 There's two ways you can look at that.
00:23:38.560 You can look and say, see, we've got to change.
00:23:40.820 Or you can say, well, let's get 52% of people voting for us, and we'll have a huge majority.
00:23:46.700 Fair enough.
00:23:46.920 So they may need to start thinking, and we'll see how the NDP goes, they may have to start thinking about a world where the NDP is just not there.
00:23:58.700 And it is more of a two-party or two-party-plus, tiny bit, party system.
00:24:06.400 And if that's the case, then they've got to change how they operate in their elections.
00:24:10.120 And, you know, we've talked a lot about how the NDP collapse really helped the Liberals.
00:24:18.360 Interestingly, on the panel, and I had read the column where Tasha did this for National Post, she examined it.
00:24:25.780 And in a lot of writings, the NDP vote went more to the Conservatives.
00:24:31.100 Places like Windsor, Hamilton, Timmons, the blue-collar appeal really worked.
00:24:37.560 It's just that it didn't work in enough writings for them to win.
00:24:43.860 But, you know, is there a different future where 41.3% since, what, the 70s?
00:24:52.720 That would have given you a huge majority.
00:24:56.140 Is that going to not be the case in the future?
00:25:00.640 I mean, look, Carney got 43.7, I think it was.
00:25:05.560 He couldn't get a majority.
00:25:08.600 It's four short right now.
00:25:09.900 We'll see if he picks some people off over the summer.
00:25:12.400 I think, you know, that might be my job or my thinking if I was him.
00:25:16.840 How do I find two dippers and two Conservatives or a block east to join me?
00:25:23.200 Speaking of jobs, Marco Mendoncino is staying in his as acting chief of staff to the prime minister of Canada.
00:25:30.020 And you know and I know that Marco wants to be mayor of Toronto.
00:25:35.560 And that is his plan.
00:25:38.860 This week, you know, we all got to see, with lots of evidence, the weakness of Olivia Chow on the bubble zone issue.
00:25:47.760 And, but she's going to win again, isn't she, if Brad Bradford and Marco Mendoncino and God knows who else runs.
00:25:57.200 John Tory.
00:25:57.820 John Tory and Abayo.
00:25:59.700 Like, they're going to split the vote and Olivia's going to win again, isn't she?
00:26:04.060 Notwithstanding how bad she looked this week.
00:26:07.540 Yeah, it's funny.
00:26:08.640 I put that out there months ago that Mendoncino was looking and CTV and the Star looked like they were surprised.
00:26:15.200 You can find the photo of me with Marco up at Bistro on Avenue having wings back in January.
00:26:26.000 And that was before he decided to jump back in and help Carney.
00:26:29.500 And, you know, we were talking about him considering a run and where does he have to pivot?
00:26:36.160 You know, because he's always been identified with the Liberals.
00:26:38.880 He knows he's got to get Conservative votes.
00:26:41.360 You know, he's thinking about it seriously, but so are a lot of people.
00:26:45.380 And that is the problem.
00:26:47.060 That is the problem.
00:26:47.820 In that, in Toronto municipal politics, most Liberals and Conservatives end up coming together to try and vote for a sane person.
00:26:57.880 And then, you know, the really progressive Liberals join with the NDP and elect Olivia Chow.
00:27:02.800 And, you know, Olivia is, you know, an absolutely lovely person.
00:27:09.040 But she is, her policies are horrible.
00:27:13.500 And I'm just not a big fan.
00:27:16.740 No, 100%.
00:27:17.800 And, you know, full disclosure, I helped run her first failed mayoralty race.
00:27:24.960 And you're exactly right.
00:27:26.360 She actually is a very nice person.
00:27:28.740 She's decent.
00:27:29.600 But she's just, she's not a good leader.
00:27:31.780 So, on the bubble zone bylaw, she opposed every amendment coming forward.
00:27:40.140 Tell people in Calgary, tell people in Calgary what was going on this week with this bubble zone thing.
00:27:47.360 So, there was an attempt to say that what we need is for, I think the original proposal was,
00:27:58.080 you couldn't be within 20 meters of protected schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, daycare centers, or the like.
00:28:09.480 And, look, this could be as many as 3,000 locations.
00:28:14.640 But the reality is you're talking about predominantly Jewish locations.
00:28:19.760 This has been supported in the past by the Muslim community as well,
00:28:23.140 because some of their mosques and community centers have been targeted.
00:28:26.440 So, you know, free speech absolutists are saying, oh, no, this can't go forward.
00:28:33.220 This is an assault on free speech.
00:28:36.140 And if we wanted to be absolutists, then sure.
00:28:40.120 But we have bubble zone laws in Ontario already that was passed by the former liberal government
00:28:48.040 with the support of the NDP on abortion clinics.
00:28:52.040 Yep.
00:28:52.700 And you can't be within 50 meters.
00:28:54.520 So, all of a sudden, all the lefties down at City Hall who support the bubble zones on abortion clinics
00:29:00.460 are saying, no, we can't have this.
00:29:03.780 Chow was one of the few lefties, other than Diane Sachs, who was voted for because she's Jewish,
00:29:08.600 Jewish community in her ward.
00:29:10.760 But, you know, people like Paula Fletcher, who's this woman that talks about using jazz hands at council all the time,
00:29:18.280 she's there saying, oh, well, we can't afford to police 3,000 locations.
00:29:24.740 Nobody's asking you to, Paula.
00:29:26.660 Like, such bullshit.
00:29:28.300 It's not 3,000 locations.
00:29:29.700 It's going to be a handful of Jewish community centers and daycares that have been targeted.
00:29:37.380 I've got one walking distance from me.
00:29:39.760 Blur and Spadina.
00:29:41.600 These Hamasniks showed up and were absolutely brutal outside of a child care center.
00:29:47.140 It's disgusting.
00:29:47.640 In Ottawa, they had them outside of a senior's home that houses Holocaust survivors screaming about Intafada at them.
00:29:57.100 It's disgusting.
00:29:58.980 I've got some kind of march going past my window right now of a...
00:30:04.520 I'm looking to see it.
00:30:06.360 It looks like the Iranian flag.
00:30:08.020 I thought it was going to be Hamasniks because they regularly come by.
00:30:11.080 Well, the Iranian guys are good.
00:30:12.600 We like them.
00:30:13.640 Well, they've got the old Iranian flag with the lion on it.
00:30:17.640 So, are you going to...
00:30:18.940 It's not the Republic guys.
00:30:19.820 Are you...
00:30:20.320 I'm in town in part to do the Walk for Israel tomorrow.
00:30:25.200 Hopefully, it doesn't rain.
00:30:27.200 So, we're talking early for the podcast.
00:30:30.040 Are you...
00:30:30.600 Hopefully, you're going to be able to make it because I know a lot of people want to see you there.
00:30:35.180 Yeah.
00:30:35.700 I'm going to try and make it out there first thing tomorrow morning.
00:30:38.500 It's a shortened group for security concerns partly, but, you know, show solidarity.
00:30:44.920 Absolutely.
00:30:45.620 Excellent.
00:30:46.000 All right.
00:30:46.620 Well, hope to see you there.
00:30:47.640 Listen, man, thank you so much.
00:30:49.500 Thank you for your insight and your wisdom as always.
00:30:52.300 And have a great day and a great week.
00:30:54.420 You too.
00:30:54.760 Not to blame for falling when it all comes down.
00:31:16.620 I'm waiting on the ground.
00:31:17.620 I'm waiting on the ground.
00:31:22.280 See you through the window.
00:31:27.820 Yeah, the days are long when you are not around.
00:31:32.960 I can hear you calling.
00:31:33.960 I can hear you calling, so I drown it out.
00:31:44.020 Sometimes it hurts too much.
00:31:46.880 And I want to sleep.
00:31:48.880 And I want to sleep.
00:31:50.860 But you just woke me up.
00:31:51.860 But you just woke me up.
00:31:52.860 But you just woke me up.
00:32:03.600 Can't be blamed for trying.
00:32:08.720 If you don't.
00:32:09.720 If you don't hear back.
00:32:10.720 If you don't hear back.
00:32:11.460 If you don't hear back.
00:32:11.480 I didn't make it out.
00:32:17.260 I am in the building.
00:32:22.460 You don't want to know what my dreams are about.
00:32:31.000 I can hear you crying.
00:32:36.800 So I drown it out.
00:32:39.200 Sometimes it hurts too much.
00:32:43.240 And I want to sleep.
00:32:45.880 But you just woke me up.
00:32:48.380 And when it all comes down.
00:32:52.820 I'm waiting on the ground.
00:32:57.420 Yeah, the days are long when you are not around.
00:33:04.820 It's only 20 meters surrounding the facility.
00:33:09.020 But most importantly, it's not a ban against protesting outside any synagogue, for example.
00:33:16.220 The institution has to actually prove that within the last 90 days, there has been a protest that has impacted people's ability to enter the facility.
00:33:30.180 You're listening to The Alex Pearson Show.
00:33:32.740 That is the voice of April Engelberg talking to Greg Brady this morning about City Council, which we'll meet today.
00:33:38.600 And they will likely vote tomorrow on this proposed bylaw to create these defined buffer zones around facilities, things like schools or places of worship.
00:33:48.700 And you very much do have a right to speak freely in this country.
00:33:51.840 But that doesn't mean there are no consequences for what you say.
00:33:54.480 And if the people that you're talking to are spewing your stuff at don't have a chance to walk away from either the humiliation or the intimidation, then you're holding someone captive to a hostile message, which is not freedom of speech.
00:34:07.420 And so, again, other areas have done this.
00:34:11.300 Vaughn and Brampton have both enacted 100-meter bubble zones around places of worship.
00:34:14.960 It passed unanimously.
00:34:17.360 But in Toronto, they're not even asking that.
00:34:19.880 They're asking you to go 20 meters.
00:34:22.480 And there's all this worry that this is an encroachment on charter rights.
00:34:27.960 But again, the question becomes, where does your charter rights end?
00:34:31.400 Where does mine start?
00:34:32.400 But at what point can we get some basic leadership on this issue?
00:34:37.180 It didn't have to come to this.
00:34:38.220 Let me talk to Oren Kinsella, president of the Daisy Group, lawyer, political consultant, author.
00:34:43.380 I know you've got a new book coming out, which we'll probably talk about very soon.
00:34:47.120 But glad to have your time on this.
00:34:49.540 Well, thanks for having me.
00:34:51.000 Boy, oh, boy.
00:34:51.600 I should ask how many chapters would be dedicated to the lack of leadership in this country on things like, you know, Jew hate, anti-Semitism.
00:34:59.100 But what is your mind?
00:35:00.640 I mean, you know, this was not an issue for Patrick Brown.
00:35:03.380 This was not an issue for Stephen Del Duca.
00:35:05.060 It was just this is what we're going to do.
00:35:06.700 And they did it.
00:35:07.720 And yet in Toronto, you cannot get Demke out of his office to deal with these protests over 18, 19 months.
00:35:12.740 And we can't get Olivia Chow to do anything proactive.
00:35:15.880 And we've got a huge increase in protests and mob, mob action, frankly, targeting the Jewish community since October 7th.
00:35:26.440 And like, you know, in Toronto, as you know, Alex, 4 percent, less than 4 percent of the city's population is Jewish.
00:35:34.340 And they account for the victims of more than 40 percent of all reported incidents.
00:35:41.460 And like, we're not even learning about all incidents.
00:35:44.900 Like, not everything gets reported to the police because people have been intimidated into silence.
00:35:50.360 And so we've got schools and hospitals and places of worship being targeted.
00:35:53.900 And like, as my colleague, Brian Milley at The Sun reported today, the police have taken this hands off approach to dealing with protesters to the point of allowing them to block access or an ambulance responding to call for assistance for a child.
00:36:11.560 Like, that's that's crazy.
00:36:13.580 That's nuts.
00:36:14.520 And this is why, you know, there are reasonable limits on free speech.
00:36:18.700 And this would be one of them.
00:36:20.260 If you are intimidating and, frankly, terrorizing people around a place of worship, whether it's a synagogue or a mosque or a church, you should you are breaking the law.
00:36:31.340 That's certainly the case now with abortion clinics.
00:36:33.880 Well, yeah.
00:36:34.500 And again, there was not a lot of hysteria around that was understood.
00:36:37.580 I mean, we wouldn't have to have these laws, Warren, if people were just civil and decent.
00:36:41.220 But we certainly know with with the groups and I don't want to let everybody in with them.
00:36:45.900 But these protests, 18, 19 months long, I mean, attended by a lot of the same people who either don't have jobs, but they're being paid somehow.
00:36:53.040 And you've reported on it.
00:36:54.520 It's been reported on by The National Post about the funding of these particular protests.
00:36:59.260 And, you know, they're going on by nefarious actors who are working against us.
00:37:04.300 And yet we've got city councillors.
00:37:06.000 We've got the mayor.
00:37:06.720 We've got the chief.
00:37:07.420 And they cower.
00:37:08.340 They're like ostriches on this.
00:37:09.840 It's crazy to me why they don't see the threat.
00:37:12.740 And the mayor and the majority of council, when this first came up, voted against it.
00:37:19.500 Now, the federal, the Kearney liberals have said in their election platform, so it'd be hard for them to wiggle out of this one.
00:37:27.080 They intend to make it a crime to obstruct access to any place of worship, you know, including schools and churches and synagogues and so on.
00:37:36.120 So that's good.
00:37:37.740 And Chow said, well, you know, we'll act on that when they do it.
00:37:40.860 But as you pointed out so many times on your show, she has the power.
00:37:45.820 She had the power to deal with this way before now in the way that Patrick Brown or Stephen Del Duca did.
00:37:52.220 And she didn't act.
00:37:53.740 Well, in fact, it would have been easier just to lump herself in with them and say that all municipalities are doing that.
00:37:58.160 And therefore, you know, she's if she worried about her base coming after her, well, we all agreed to do this because it is not just a Toronto problem.
00:38:06.260 These things have been going on. And frankly, I think a lot of people don't know about them, Warren, because we don't cover them every day of how bad it's gotten.
00:38:13.620 I mean, when you drive through areas of Toronto, certainly Montreal, where you've got Jewish people now having to pay for 24 seven security.
00:38:19.740 That's not cheap. And frankly, you shouldn't have to pay for security to be able to live in this country.
00:38:25.260 But that's where we're at, because no one's taking action.
00:38:28.060 No. And, you know, I've spoken at lots of synagogues in recent weeks about, you know, this book that I've written and this documentary that we're filming.
00:38:35.960 I just got back from Israel where we were filming there.
00:38:38.520 And like you go into these synagogues, places where people worship, you know, places where people are at their most vulnerable.
00:38:45.680 And yet it's a wall of police and private security and they have to pay for that.
00:38:50.700 You know, they they've got to come up with the money.
00:38:53.260 And increasingly, a lot of these small congregations and Jewish communities, they don't have the money to do it.
00:38:59.500 And and so we've seen across the city the consequence.
00:39:03.200 We've got fire bombings of, you know, synagogues and Jewish businesses.
00:39:08.260 We've got schools for little Jewish kids being shot up like two, three times.
00:39:14.180 Like the policing of this issue in the city of Toronto is and I can say this now because I've written a book about it is one of the worst in the world.
00:39:23.980 It's not it's not the worst in Ontario.
00:39:26.560 It's one of the worst in the world.
00:39:28.620 Well, we're top three.
00:39:29.600 We're number three for anti-Semitism with Austria.
00:39:32.640 I mean, it's appalling what we what we say and what we don't do.
00:39:36.340 Like, hey, it has no place here.
00:39:37.420 Well, yeah, it does.
00:39:38.920 Clearly.
00:39:40.120 And and, you know, there's accountability for that.
00:39:43.640 But some people who their job is to protect citizens, protect, you know, those they represent, like Olivia Chow and Chief Demki.
00:39:52.960 They're not doing their job.
00:39:54.840 And this is the reputation now that we have around the world.
00:39:57.840 And journalists from around the world, not just in Canada, have written about this issue.
00:40:02.300 And it like this is basic protecting people when they go into a place of worship, whether it's a synagogue or a mosque or a church.
00:40:09.760 That's something we should be doing.
00:40:11.720 And we're not doing it.
00:40:12.960 No.
00:40:13.180 And we've let churches burn and all the rest of it.
00:40:15.480 And we just kind of just don't say anything.
00:40:17.020 It's met with a shrug.
00:40:18.360 I would say this.
00:40:19.200 So there does seem to be selective, you know, anger and outrage for the convoys.
00:40:23.580 It was bring out the Emergencies Act.
00:40:26.140 Right.
00:40:26.380 And they saw that as a threat, the political threat.
00:40:28.560 And yet I never felt threatened.
00:40:30.400 I don't think Jewish people in order felt threatened.
00:40:32.540 And yet when you've got something going on for 20 months, they do nothing.
00:40:35.780 There's got to be consistency.
00:40:38.040 There has to be.
00:40:38.800 And, you know, you're absolutely right to cite that precedent.
00:40:42.120 They brought in tougher policing.
00:40:45.360 They brought in cops from across Canada to deal with, you know, a protest that was supposed to last a weekend and ended up lasting, you know, more than a month.
00:40:53.840 And I thought that was an appropriate thing to do.
00:40:55.980 And the same thing applies here.
00:40:57.780 When you're intimidating people in their neighborhoods, you know, when you're threatening them, when you're attacking them, when you're, you know, doing all the stuff we're seeing happen, you've got to take action.
00:41:08.780 And like this weekend, we've got the Walk for Israel taking place on Sunday.
00:41:12.960 I'm going to be one of the people attending it.
00:41:14.780 And the bad guys have already said they're going to blockade it and they're going to try and stop this from happening.
00:41:21.400 So the police, they're going to have to act and they're going to have to take action to protect citizens because right now they're not doing it.
00:41:28.560 Yeah.
00:41:28.640 But what does that look like?
00:41:29.620 Right.
00:41:29.820 Because it's become so normalized and there are a lot of theatrics that go on at these things.
00:41:34.800 The bottom line is this has been so normalized when I feel like it's too late.
00:41:39.060 Like, no, there's no Jew you're going to talk to, present company included.
00:41:42.200 No one feels safe.
00:41:43.400 No one's waiting for police or anyone to protect them.
00:41:47.040 And so, like, where's this going?
00:41:48.660 Because I think this walk could get very ugly and it didn't have to and it should never have come to this.
00:41:54.240 No, it's just like it's a family event.
00:41:56.280 I went on it last year.
00:41:57.800 There's little kids and seniors and so on.
00:42:00.360 So, you know, I guess it will be a big test this weekend.
00:42:03.440 I hope you're wrong.
00:42:04.200 I hope that it goes off peacefully like it largely did last year.
00:42:08.620 But the early indications are not good.
00:42:11.240 Well, you know what?
00:42:11.940 Let everybody open their eyes on this and can't say they weren't warned.
00:42:15.760 All right, Warren, we'll watch how that vote goes tomorrow and the pretzels, how they'll twist.
00:42:20.020 But I appreciate you and we'll talk about your book.
00:42:22.380 Thanks, my friend.
00:42:23.320 There you go.
00:42:23.900 That is Warren Kinsella and he has been outstanding, unequivocal on this issue.
00:42:29.100 Because, again, whether it's, you know, it starts with Jew hate, it doesn't end there.
00:42:33.380 And that's what's so frustrating where people don't understand.
00:42:35.980 It's like they come for the Jews, but they will come after you, whether you're black or pink or red or green or gay.
00:42:41.140 Well, they don't care.
00:42:42.680 They don't like our way of life.
00:42:45.320 But this is a no-brainer, should have been stopped, and it hasn't been.
00:42:49.660 So I think politicians, without their lack of leadership, have made things much, much more difficult for everyone.
00:42:56.200 I was a sadist for her main play.
00:43:24.180 I did not like this.
00:43:26.500 Yeah, I need Liz to say.
00:43:28.460 But when she left me, I took it badly.
00:43:32.280 I was a right mess, you see.
00:43:34.520 I loved her madly.
00:43:36.480 I felt rejected and disrespected.
00:43:40.360 I thought I'd do her.
00:43:42.460 I stand corrected.
00:43:43.760 And now I'm lying here.
00:43:46.220 Clearly, this is what to say.
00:43:48.360 Because now my pillow smells like a hairspray.
00:43:52.680 Choco, choco.
00:43:56.080 Choco, choco.
00:44:00.080 So cold, you're so cold.
00:44:03.700 The way you turned on me.
00:44:08.020 I proceeded to self-medicate.
00:44:12.660 I was shamefaced.
00:44:14.520 And I was full of hate.
00:44:16.700 Two weeks later, that's when I saw her.
00:44:20.620 I was out of breath from treading water.
00:44:23.740 So I was embarrassed.
00:44:26.660 All my friends were there.
00:44:28.300 So I pretended that I didn't care.
00:44:32.480 But on the inside, I was burning.
00:44:36.400 My eyes were trembling.
00:44:38.460 I started turning.
00:44:40.640 Choco, choco.
00:44:44.740 Choco, choco.
00:44:46.740 Choco, choco.
00:45:16.720 And I'm out to try
00:45:18.640 Just like you did to me
00:45:23.760 I guess that this is goodbye
00:45:26.440 Goodbye
00:45:27.760 Choco, Choco
00:45:31.140 Choco, Choco
00:45:35.140 So cold, you're so cold
00:45:39.700 And the way you turn on me
00:45:42.520 You've got the inner
00:45:44.080 Choco, Choco
00:45:48.080 Choco, Choco
00:45:52.080 So cold, you're so cold
00:45:56.080 Why you turn on me
00:45:58.080 You've got the inner Choco
00:46:00.080 Choco
00:46:04.080 Choco
00:46:08.080 Choco
00:46:14.080 Welcome back to the Ben Mulroney Show

00:46:28.440 Brad Levine
00:46:29.100 President of Council PA
00:46:31.200 NDP Strategist
00:46:32.220 Welcome Brad
00:46:33.120 Say hi to Warren Kinsella
00:46:34.540 Former Special Advisor to Jean Chrétien
00:46:35.960 And CEO of the Daisy Group
00:46:37.120 Still with his tan
00:46:38.480 Clearly from his time in Israel
00:46:40.140 Great to see you my friend
00:46:41.380 No, it's blood
00:46:42.980 High blood pressure
00:46:43.900 And Kate Harrison
00:46:45.620 Vice Chair at Suma Strategies
00:46:47.500 To all three of you
00:46:48.140 I say happy Friday
00:46:49.680 Happy Friday
00:46:51.220 No tan here in Ottawa
00:46:52.420 I know
00:46:52.960 Well not with the weather
00:46:54.000 We would have it anywhere
00:46:54.920 Around here
00:46:55.700 My goodness
00:46:56.280 I don't think spring's coming
00:46:57.220 For a while now
00:46:58.020 All right
00:46:58.600 Let's break down
00:47:00.100 What I think is
00:47:01.060 Is going to continue
00:47:02.820 To be one of the biggest stories
00:47:03.840 Is Canada's relationship
00:47:05.480 With Israel
00:47:06.940 And all the knock-on effects
00:47:08.880 Let's listen to
00:47:10.660 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:47:12.000 Calling out Mark Carney
00:47:13.100 And other leaders
00:47:14.340 I say to President Macron
00:47:16.400 Prime Minister Carney
00:47:17.500 And Prime Minister Starmer
00:47:18.700 When mass murderers
00:47:21.100 Rapists
00:47:22.020 Baby killers
00:47:23.180 And kidnappers
00:47:23.960 Thank you
00:47:24.500 You're on the wrong side
00:47:26.500 Of justice
00:47:27.120 You're on the wrong side
00:47:28.800 Of humanity
00:47:29.560 And you're on the wrong side
00:47:31.520 Of history
00:47:32.400 Now these leaders may think
00:47:34.680 That they're advancing peace
00:47:36.020 They're not
00:47:37.080 They're emboldening Hamas
00:47:39.200 To continue fighting forever
00:47:40.520 And they give them hope
00:47:42.220 To establish
00:47:43.320 A second Palestinian state
00:47:45.040 From which Hamas
00:47:46.280 Will again seek
00:47:47.020 To destroy the Jewish state
00:47:48.140 All right
00:47:50.760 So listen
00:47:51.680 Is it fair
00:47:52.320 And I'm going to start
00:47:52.940 With you Warren
00:47:53.400 Because you were just there
00:47:54.280 Is it fair
00:47:55.500 To connect the dots
00:47:57.160 Between
00:47:57.860 The position
00:47:59.260 That Canada took
00:48:00.000 And the shooting
00:48:01.420 In Washington
00:48:01.980 Is that
00:48:03.060 Is it fair
00:48:03.680 Or is it
00:48:05.260 I mean
00:48:06.520 We'll leave it
00:48:07.940 At that
00:48:08.280 Is it fair
00:48:08.880 Well let's put it this way
00:48:11.960 I mean yeah
00:48:12.500 So I was in Israel
00:48:13.780 For a few weeks
00:48:15.560 And got back
00:48:16.680 Just a few days ago
00:48:17.700 The government
00:48:19.220 Of Benjamin Netanyahu
00:48:20.900 Is really
00:48:22.720 Unpopular
00:48:23.620 In Israel
00:48:24.320 The war
00:48:25.120 Is unpopular
00:48:26.020 In Israel
00:48:27.080 The focus there
00:48:28.820 Is to get
00:48:29.680 The hostages home
00:48:30.800 And to get
00:48:31.780 The war over
00:48:32.540 So
00:48:33.160 You know
00:48:34.560 There's
00:48:34.900 There's no question
00:48:35.700 About that
00:48:36.320 The statement
00:48:37.600 By Carney
00:48:38.760 And Keir
00:48:40.120 Starmer
00:48:41.580 And Macron
00:48:43.160 Was a strong statement
00:48:46.460 I think it caught
00:48:47.320 The Netanyahu
00:48:48.000 Government
00:48:48.500 Off guard
00:48:49.460 And knocked
00:48:50.520 Them off balance
00:48:51.520 I think
00:48:52.220 Having Netanyahu
00:48:54.040 Out there
00:48:54.760 As your spokesperson
00:48:55.600 For Israel
00:48:56.500 Is just not
00:48:57.520 A good idea
00:48:58.200 He's very unpopular
00:49:00.480 In the West
00:49:01.300 And I
00:49:02.740 You know
00:49:03.180 I personally think
00:49:04.220 Associating those
00:49:05.280 Three leaders
00:49:05.900 With Hamas
00:49:07.580 Is not
00:49:08.620 Not helpful
00:49:09.660 Yeah
00:49:09.920 You know
00:49:10.920 At the end of the day
00:49:11.620 Israel needs
00:49:12.680 The West
00:49:13.560 To continue
00:49:14.260 To support it
00:49:15.160 So
00:49:16.040 But you know
00:49:17.080 To me
00:49:17.520 It's symptomatic
00:49:18.300 Of the overall
00:49:19.600 Problem with the
00:49:20.440 Keirny government
00:49:21.560 I'm writing about this
00:49:22.620 For Post Media
00:49:23.220 This weekend
00:49:23.680 I can't get a clear
00:49:25.140 Sense of where
00:49:25.960 They are
00:49:26.520 On key issues
00:49:27.540 You know
00:49:27.800 Having a budget
00:49:28.700 Energy
00:49:30.100 Israel
00:49:31.420 A relationship
00:49:32.220 With the United States
00:49:33.040 It's messy
00:49:34.020 And this is another
00:49:35.060 Example that
00:49:35.900 They need to clean it up
00:49:37.120 Kate the irony is
00:49:38.500 Prior to October 7th
00:49:40.240 It looked like
00:49:40.800 Forces were aligning
00:49:41.660 To turf
00:49:42.160 Benjamin Netanyahu
00:49:43.200 With his
00:49:44.140 The changes
00:49:44.820 That
00:49:45.020 Unilateral changes
00:49:45.880 He was trying to bring
00:49:46.440 To the
00:49:46.720 The Israeli Supreme Court
00:49:48.000 I mean it really
00:49:48.660 Looked like his days
00:49:49.600 Were numbered
00:49:50.140 Hamas ensured
00:49:51.100 That he would stay
00:49:51.640 In power for years
00:49:52.600 After that
00:49:53.180 And so
00:49:54.220 But
00:49:55.020 I keep going back
00:49:56.480 To him saying
00:49:57.440 They've been emboldened
00:49:58.260 We've got the
00:49:59.140 This murder on the
00:50:00.100 Streets of Washington
00:50:00.900 People saying
00:50:01.820 Free free Palestine
00:50:02.780 I heard some
00:50:03.380 Protesters
00:50:04.080 Some video of
00:50:04.900 Protesters here
00:50:05.560 In the city of Toronto
00:50:06.560 And I'm looking at it
00:50:07.720 Through this lens
00:50:08.380 That you know
00:50:09.200 Are our leaders
00:50:10.540 When they are making
00:50:11.680 What I think
00:50:13.020 Are hot takes
00:50:13.920 And poor takes
00:50:15.120 And lack of
00:50:15.780 Like missing the
00:50:17.420 Nuance of the situation
00:50:18.680 Is it allowing
00:50:19.900 Is it giving cover
00:50:20.860 To people
00:50:22.320 Who really
00:50:23.560 Don't need that cover
00:50:24.980 And when they have
00:50:26.640 That cover
00:50:26.980 They can go to
00:50:27.540 Those extreme lengths
00:50:28.320 Two things are true
00:50:30.740 In this scenario
00:50:31.840 Number one
00:50:32.620 Politicians are not
00:50:34.340 Responsible for the
00:50:35.540 Actions of madmen
00:50:36.600 That is just as true
00:50:39.040 In this case
00:50:39.880 As it was when
00:50:41.080 You know
00:50:41.580 Liberal MPs
00:50:42.400 Were accusing
00:50:43.020 You know
00:50:44.200 Right-winger
00:50:44.940 Conservatives
00:50:45.720 Of violence
00:50:46.480 Being linked to
00:50:47.040 Pierre Polyev
00:50:47.780 Sometime last spring
00:50:49.300 They are not
00:50:50.780 Responsible for that
00:50:51.600 For the actions
00:50:52.760 Of terrorists
00:50:53.380 However
00:50:54.320 Our politicians
00:50:56.420 Lack of courage
00:50:57.460 Does contribute
00:50:58.700 To a climate
00:50:59.440 And an environment
00:51:00.360 Where people do
00:51:01.620 Feel emboldened
00:51:02.640 To take extreme action
00:51:04.280 And I would point
00:51:05.460 To the lack
00:51:06.260 Of enforcement
00:51:06.880 Of laws we have
00:51:08.120 Put aside
00:51:08.980 You know
00:51:09.300 The discussion
00:51:09.820 Around bubble laws
00:51:11.260 At the municipal level
00:51:12.400 But we're not even
00:51:13.520 Enforcing laws that we have
00:51:14.820 We're not providing
00:51:15.660 Clarity of conviction
00:51:17.200 On these
00:51:17.940 On these matters
00:51:19.220 That was a problem
00:51:20.340 With the Trudeau government
00:51:21.300 It looks to be a problem
00:51:22.560 For the Carney government
00:51:23.500 From what I gather
00:51:24.460 That statement
00:51:25.800 That he signed on to
00:51:26.800 Which was praised
00:51:27.620 By Hamas
00:51:28.260 Was not necessarily
00:51:30.400 Run through the town
00:51:31.640 Before he signed on to it
00:51:33.240 So this is going to
00:51:34.800 Continue to be a problem
00:51:35.940 Unless the government
00:51:37.980 Stands on this issue
00:51:39.600 One way or another
00:51:40.480 They're going to try
00:51:41.080 To have their cake
00:51:41.700 And eat it too
00:51:42.280 It didn't work
00:51:43.060 For the last government
00:51:44.060 I doubt it will work
00:51:44.940 For this one
00:51:45.540 But the lack
00:51:47.880 Of that conviction
00:51:48.560 And that courage
00:51:49.280 And those words
00:51:50.060 We cannot equate
00:51:51.520 That to the
00:51:52.860 To the violence
00:51:53.840 And the terrorism
00:51:54.620 That we see
00:51:55.180 South of the border
00:51:55.860 Or some of the
00:51:56.520 Activities here
00:51:57.200 Brad
00:51:58.320 We just had
00:51:59.420 Warren say
00:52:00.900 That he doesn't know
00:52:01.780 Where this government
00:52:02.760 Stands on
00:52:03.460 On a number of key files
00:52:04.760 Kate said
00:52:05.500 They want to have
00:52:05.960 Their cake
00:52:06.320 And eat it too
00:52:07.220 Is that how you see it
00:52:08.340 That this is a government
00:52:09.760 That is going to do
00:52:10.860 Its best to be
00:52:11.780 As opaque as possible
00:52:13.000 For as long as possible
00:52:14.180 Well I think the short answer
00:52:18.120 Is probably
00:52:18.780 Because that's what
00:52:20.100 That's what liberals
00:52:20.860 Do best
00:52:22.260 I think that
00:52:24.500 The last handful of years
00:52:26.060 Were particularly troubling
00:52:27.820 For the Liberal Party
00:52:28.840 Of Canada
00:52:29.280 And of course
00:52:30.000 Warren with his years
00:52:31.780 Of involvement
00:52:32.400 Would know this
00:52:33.000 Very very well
00:52:33.680 For years
00:52:34.700 I think the Liberal Party
00:52:35.720 Was seen as a party
00:52:36.600 That was behind Israel
00:52:39.280 And I think by and large
00:52:41.880 Would compete with
00:52:43.480 The Conservative Party
00:52:44.600 And had I think
00:52:45.780 Especially a handful
00:52:47.960 Of years ago
00:52:48.560 Enjoyed a lot of the
00:52:49.560 Support of the Jewish
00:52:50.440 Canadian diaspora
00:52:52.320 I think that under Trudeau
00:52:54.480 I think that they
00:52:55.560 You know
00:52:56.580 Lost a lot of that
00:52:57.540 And I think a lot
00:52:58.020 Of the Jewish community
00:52:58.820 Particularly in the
00:52:59.420 Greater Toronto area
00:53:00.200 Moved over to the
00:53:01.140 Conservative Party
00:53:01.760 Now we'll see
00:53:02.360 What Mr. Carney
00:53:03.340 Wants to see
00:53:04.700 What he wants to do
00:53:06.040 In terms of putting
00:53:06.660 His coalition together
00:53:07.640 And I think that
00:53:08.500 A lot of that
00:53:09.260 Particularly after
00:53:10.240 October 7th
00:53:11.280 Is challenging
00:53:12.000 Inside the Liberal
00:53:12.760 Caucus
00:53:13.220 Of the elected
00:53:14.320 Members of Parliament
00:53:15.360 Before the last election
00:53:16.260 So we'll see
00:53:17.700 Where he wants to go
00:53:18.760 As for giving aid
00:53:20.900 To Hamas
00:53:22.760 I think that
00:53:24.120 You know
00:53:24.500 If you take a look
00:53:25.160 At where
00:53:26.100 Like obviously
00:53:26.960 Donald Trump
00:53:27.640 Is a huge
00:53:28.580 Netanyahu supporter
00:53:29.660 Huge supporter
00:53:30.460 Of Israel
00:53:30.980 And yet this
00:53:31.940 Horrible atrocity
00:53:33.480 In Washington
00:53:34.560 Was only blocks away
00:53:36.200 From the White House
00:53:37.680 So you can't say
00:53:38.380 That whether
00:53:39.540 It's the Prime
00:53:40.180 Minister of UK
00:53:40.900 Or Canada
00:53:42.360 And the leaders
00:53:43.300 Of France
00:53:43.820 Are supporting
00:53:45.600 Hamas
00:53:45.920 Yet this
00:53:46.440 Horrible atrocity
00:53:47.620 Took place
00:53:48.180 Blocks away
00:53:49.040 From Donald Trump's
00:53:49.960 Residence
00:53:51.020 So I don't think
00:53:52.580 That it's serving
00:53:53.440 The interest of peace
00:53:54.440 In the Middle East
00:53:55.000 To call out
00:53:56.280 Kearney
00:53:56.720 Starmer
00:53:57.880 And Macron
00:53:58.880 So I want to
00:54:00.020 Take a moment
00:54:00.560 And talk about
00:54:01.280 This new
00:54:01.840 Bubble bylaw
00:54:03.140 In the city
00:54:03.700 Of Toronto
00:54:04.240 And for those
00:54:05.880 Who are listening
00:54:06.480 Who are unaware
00:54:07.200 Of it
00:54:07.620 It's a bylaw
00:54:08.520 That just got passed
00:54:09.420 It offers protections
00:54:10.440 To certain key
00:54:11.860 Public locations
00:54:13.360 Like schools
00:54:14.280 And places of worship
00:54:15.380 There are about
00:54:16.060 3,000 locations
00:54:17.120 That would fall
00:54:17.720 Under the purview
00:54:18.960 Of this bylaw
00:54:19.960 And it is not
00:54:20.740 Specific to the
00:54:21.460 Jewish faith
00:54:22.620 It's churches
00:54:23.760 It's mosques
00:54:24.480 It's synagogues
00:54:25.820 It's schools
00:54:26.660 And the like
00:54:27.340 But my question
00:54:28.760 Kate I'll start
00:54:29.440 With you
00:54:29.920 I think a lot
00:54:30.580 Of us were surprised
00:54:31.480 That it got beefed up
00:54:33.120 That the 20
00:54:34.180 Meter bubble
00:54:36.220 Was extended to 50
00:54:37.500 And so on
00:54:38.460 There's a few
00:54:39.080 So it actually got
00:54:39.960 Improved from the
00:54:41.380 Watered down version
00:54:42.160 That it was before
00:54:42.820 Very very quickly
00:54:43.780 It's sort of a pivot
00:54:45.060 From my first question
00:54:46.360 If that violence
00:54:47.380 Hadn't happened
00:54:47.900 On the streets
00:54:48.360 Of Washington
00:54:49.000 Do you think
00:54:49.780 We would have
00:54:50.160 Seen a beefing up
00:54:51.160 The way we did
00:54:52.280 Of this bylaw
00:54:53.100 I'm sure that
00:54:55.220 Recent events
00:54:56.340 Resulted in that
00:54:57.760 That law being
00:54:58.740 Augmented
00:54:59.280 I do come back
00:55:01.560 To you know
00:55:02.360 We do have
00:55:02.920 Existing laws
00:55:03.760 That could be
00:55:04.780 Enforced
00:55:05.360 You know
00:55:05.640 I generally
00:55:06.300 Am supportive
00:55:06.900 Of making sure
00:55:07.540 They're safe spaces
00:55:08.480 But passing new laws
00:55:11.020 When the current ones
00:55:11.900 Aren't being enforced
00:55:12.720 Properly
00:55:13.280 Is not going
00:55:14.040 To fix this problem
00:55:15.320 Brad I'm going
00:55:16.620 To give you
00:55:16.820 About 15 seconds
00:55:17.800 On this
00:55:18.180 Oh
00:55:20.940 Can I
00:55:21.840 How about you
00:55:23.760 Warren
00:55:24.060 Well I
00:55:26.300 You know
00:55:26.940 Having bubble zones
00:55:28.360 Around places
00:55:29.320 Of worship
00:55:29.760 And not just
00:55:30.460 Jewish ones
00:55:31.180 You know
00:55:31.600 In Quebec City
00:55:32.580 We all saw
00:55:33.380 You know
00:55:34.180 How critically important
00:55:35.600 Like this could have been
00:55:37.000 On that terrible occasion
00:55:38.620 When so many
00:55:39.920 Muslims of prayer
00:55:41.080 Lost their lives
00:55:42.100 This is something
00:55:43.260 That's supported
00:55:43.860 By most
00:55:45.220 Religious communities
00:55:46.460 And it's something
00:55:47.740 That already exists
00:55:48.900 In respect of
00:55:49.840 Abortion clinics
00:55:50.720 And health providers
00:55:52.480 So like
00:55:53.880 This was
00:55:54.720 An easy thing
00:55:55.700 To do
00:55:56.140 But of course
00:55:56.820 Typically
00:55:57.380 Toronto Council
00:55:58.860 Turned it into
00:55:59.680 A torture chamber
00:56:00.680 We're on for hours
00:56:02.440 Warren we're going
00:56:03.040 To leave it there
00:56:03.560 I'm going to grab
00:56:04.600 Pick you up
00:56:05.060 After the break
00:56:05.660 Don't go anywhere
00:56:06.140 More with our panel
00:56:06.940 Welcome back to
00:56:08.640 The Ben Mulroney show
00:56:09.380 And welcome back
00:56:09.920 To this week in politics
00:56:10.840 And welcome back
00:56:11.620 To Brad Levine
00:56:12.300 Warren Kinsella
00:56:12.880 And Kate Harrison
00:56:13.680 Guys I want to
00:56:14.520 Jump right back in
00:56:15.300 And I want to look
00:56:16.100 Forward to
00:56:17.500 Kenanaskis Alberta
00:56:18.520 For the G7 summit
00:56:19.940 This will be
00:56:20.340 Mark Carney's
00:56:20.940 First as the host
00:56:22.460 Prime minister
00:56:23.180 And it's also
00:56:24.240 Donald Trump's return
00:56:25.380 To the world
00:56:26.340 Of multilateralism
00:56:27.480 And I think
00:56:28.460 It's going to be
00:56:28.860 A very interesting
00:56:29.760 Backdrop
00:56:30.280 Given the fact
00:56:30.900 Of what he
00:56:31.800 Essentially tweeted
00:56:32.780 Today
00:56:33.120 Disparaging
00:56:34.140 In the most
00:56:34.960 Inaccurate
00:56:36.420 And
00:56:36.960 Well inaccurate
00:56:38.280 Terms
00:56:38.740 The European Union
00:56:39.720 Which he said
00:56:40.080 Which was formed
00:56:40.700 For the primary
00:56:41.380 Purpose of taking
00:56:42.140 Advantage of the
00:56:42.720 United States
00:56:43.180 On trade
00:56:43.680 And now he's
00:56:44.820 Suggesting
00:56:45.520 A massive
00:56:46.220 Trade deficit
00:56:47.020 He's recommending
00:56:47.980 A straight 50%
00:56:49.220 Tariff on the
00:56:49.960 European Union
00:56:50.660 Starting on June 1st
00:56:52.140 So two weeks
00:56:52.900 Before the summit
00:56:54.140 Warren
00:56:55.120 You know
00:56:55.640 You worked with
00:56:56.120 A prime minister
00:56:56.640 Who attended
00:56:57.180 A great many
00:56:58.060 Of these summits
00:56:58.800 Talk to me about
00:56:59.820 I mean
00:57:00.460 Who's walking
00:57:01.300 Into a buzzsaw here
00:57:02.420 Well actually
00:57:05.120 None of them are
00:57:05.860 Because Kretzian
00:57:06.560 When I worked for him
00:57:07.320 I said to him
00:57:07.960 Because I'm from
00:57:09.020 Alberta as you know
00:57:10.320 Ben
00:57:10.600 And like
00:57:11.160 Why just stick it
00:57:12.440 In Kananaskis
00:57:13.620 And he said
00:57:14.260 Well if any
00:57:14.980 Protesters try
00:57:15.920 And get in there
00:57:16.440 They're going to
00:57:16.820 Get eaten by bears
00:57:17.960 So like
00:57:19.260 It's pretty isolated
00:57:20.500 So it's going to
00:57:21.080 Be very difficult
00:57:21.840 For any of the
00:57:22.740 Many many
00:57:23.620 Protesters
00:57:24.560 Who I think
00:57:25.100 Would like to
00:57:25.940 Target Mr. Trump
00:57:27.140 From showing up
00:57:28.880 You know
00:57:29.260 It's
00:57:29.580 If you're in
00:57:30.560 The secret service
00:57:31.680 Of the RCMP
00:57:32.540 Protective service
00:57:34.140 It's a dream
00:57:35.120 Scenario for you
00:57:36.340 Because it's the
00:57:36.900 Best location
00:57:37.800 For something
00:57:38.520 Like this
00:57:39.680 I thought the
00:57:40.620 Kearney
00:57:41.080 But what's
00:57:41.760 I mean
00:57:41.940 What's going to
00:57:42.960 Happen with these
00:57:43.520 What's going to
00:57:44.160 Happen with the
00:57:44.560 European leaders
00:57:45.320 Who show up
00:57:46.220 Being subjected
00:57:47.060 To 50% tariffs
00:57:48.300 Because Donald Trump
00:57:49.620 Feels that the
00:57:50.560 European Union's
00:57:51.260 Sole reason
00:57:52.020 To exist
00:57:52.680 Is to take
00:57:53.780 Advantage of
00:57:54.380 The United
00:57:54.660 States on
00:57:55.140 Trade
00:57:55.440 Yeah and
00:57:57.520 You know
00:57:58.200 That is the
00:57:58.800 Problem with
00:57:59.340 Trump
00:57:59.680 Is just
00:58:00.140 When you
00:58:00.520 Think we've
00:58:01.440 Got a period
00:58:02.120 Of enduring
00:58:02.800 Quiet
00:58:03.400 Oh I think
00:58:05.640 We just lost
00:58:06.220 I think we
00:58:06.740 Just lost him
00:58:07.440 Kate I'm going
00:58:08.200 To jump on
00:58:08.740 And ask you
00:58:09.400 What do you
00:58:10.220 Think this is
00:58:10.640 He just keeps
00:58:11.460 Lobbing bombs
00:58:12.380 Doesn't he
00:58:12.820 Just when you
00:58:13.320 Think everyone
00:58:14.200 Is rowing in
00:58:14.840 The same
00:58:15.100 Direction and
00:58:15.620 We might be
00:58:16.080 Able to have
00:58:16.420 A little
00:58:16.740 Peace in
00:58:17.180 The valley
00:58:17.620 Something like
00:58:18.320 This pops up
00:58:19.020 Yeah that's
00:58:20.460 A feature
00:58:20.940 Not a bug
00:58:21.720 Of Trump's
00:58:22.420 Negotiation style
00:58:23.660 Right so
00:58:24.480 You know he
00:58:25.320 Starts at 50%
00:58:26.360 Today and the
00:58:27.400 Lead into the
00:58:27.980 G7 you know
00:58:29.240 Then we end up
00:58:30.060 Somewhere around
00:58:30.780 15 and it
00:58:31.620 Still looks like
00:58:32.200 The US has
00:58:32.880 Secured something
00:58:33.580 He always goes
00:58:34.740 To the extreme
00:58:35.420 And then walks
00:58:36.480 It back a little
00:58:37.120 Bit I think
00:58:38.040 Where there's
00:58:38.360 Going to be
00:58:38.660 Tension around
00:58:39.480 The G7
00:58:40.080 Table Ben
00:58:40.760 There might be
00:58:41.800 Some of course
00:58:42.440 With with
00:58:42.860 European leaders
00:58:43.620 But how that
00:58:44.860 Interaction goes
00:58:45.700 With Vladimir
00:58:46.600 Zelensky
00:58:47.120 Because he will
00:58:48.520 Be there
00:58:48.940 Canada I think
00:58:49.840 Will have some
00:58:50.380 Positive things
00:58:51.060 To say about
00:58:51.540 Support for
00:58:51.980 Ukraine around
00:58:52.560 That meeting
00:58:52.940 We know that
00:58:53.480 The Trump
00:58:53.780 Administration
00:58:54.300 Has a very
00:58:55.180 Different view
00:58:55.820 On the role
00:58:56.920 That they should
00:58:57.540 Continue to play
00:58:58.280 In the Ukrainian
00:58:59.440 Russian conflict
00:59:00.320 So I think
00:59:01.360 That might be
00:59:01.900 An opportunity
00:59:02.480 For sparks to
00:59:03.260 Fly it might
00:59:03.640 Be the first
00:59:04.120 Chance that
00:59:05.040 Trump and
00:59:05.600 Zelensky have
00:59:06.300 Being back in
00:59:07.240 The same room
00:59:07.780 Together
00:59:08.140 So I think
00:59:09.220 That that's
00:59:09.620 Where we could
00:59:10.060 See some
00:59:10.540 Tension around
00:59:11.700 The G7
00:59:12.240 Table how
00:59:12.780 Canada navigates
00:59:13.720 The Ukrainian
00:59:14.320 Conflict and
00:59:15.720 The support that
00:59:16.300 We provide
00:59:16.720 Their advice
00:59:17.460 Where no
00:59:18.440 Americans want
00:59:19.200 To go
00:59:19.420 Which is
00:59:19.760 Stepping back
00:59:20.340 From support
00:59:20.880 In that
00:59:21.140 Conflict
00:59:21.600 Brad give
00:59:22.340 Me your
00:59:22.840 Quick take
00:59:23.620 On the
00:59:24.140 G7 and
00:59:24.920 What we can
00:59:25.300 Expect in
00:59:25.960 Light of
00:59:26.300 Donald Trump's
00:59:27.000 Opening foray
00:59:28.180 With the
00:59:28.500 European Union
00:59:29.440 But then I'd
00:59:30.160 Like to
00:59:30.420 Pivot to
00:59:31.560 The larger
00:59:32.180 Conversation
00:59:32.900 About you
00:59:33.740 Know this
00:59:34.060 The Mark
00:59:34.660 Carney
00:59:34.940 Prime
00:59:35.660 Minister
00:59:35.940 Is not
00:59:36.420 Mark Carney
00:59:36.960 The candidate
00:59:37.720 From the
00:59:38.200 Counter tariffs
00:59:38.880 Secretly being
00:59:39.720 Gone to
00:59:40.580 Calling Donald
00:59:41.240 Trump
00:59:41.440 Transformational
00:59:42.240 To asking
00:59:43.040 To be part
00:59:43.520 Of the
00:59:43.820 Golden
00:59:44.180 Dome
00:59:44.640 Is this
00:59:45.380 Good
00:59:45.720 Diplomacy
00:59:46.420 Or a
00:59:46.880 Bait and
00:59:47.200 Switch
00:59:47.520 No I
00:59:49.080 Well I
00:59:49.440 Think that
00:59:50.040 He's looking
00:59:50.680 For
00:59:51.240 Particularly
00:59:52.160 With the
00:59:52.520 G7
00:59:52.900 Coming up
00:59:53.840 On Canadian
00:59:54.260 Soil
00:59:54.740 In a
00:59:55.720 Short bit
00:59:56.280 This is
00:59:57.180 All
00:59:57.500 I think
00:59:58.240 He's just
00:59:58.480 Keeping
00:59:58.860 He's not
01:00:00.440 Saying no
01:00:01.120 To Trump
01:00:01.680 On anything
01:00:02.260 Of substance
01:00:04.100 The transformational
01:00:05.200 Comment in the
01:00:05.980 White House
01:00:06.300 I mean I
01:00:06.600 Think that
01:00:06.920 Most Canadians
01:00:07.460 Would give
01:00:07.900 Him a
01:00:08.600 Solid grade
01:00:09.380 On his
01:00:09.740 Performance
01:00:10.160 In there
01:00:10.480 Particularly
01:00:10.760 We saw
01:00:11.260 What he
01:00:11.820 Did
01:00:11.960 To
01:00:12.240 Zelensky
01:00:12.700 As well
01:00:13.160 As the
01:00:13.520 Leadership
01:00:14.160 Of South
01:00:14.560 Africa
01:00:14.860 Just a
01:00:15.180 Couple of
01:00:15.480 Days ago
01:00:15.900 So I
01:00:17.040 Think that
01:00:17.880 Security
01:00:19.200 Will be a
01:00:20.960 Big thing
01:00:21.420 I think the
01:00:21.880 Golden
01:00:22.140 Dome
01:00:22.600 And what
01:00:23.080 European
01:00:23.600 Allies
01:00:25.800 Think of
01:00:26.960 Canada's
01:00:27.440 Participation
01:00:28.140 In this
01:00:29.480 In the
01:00:30.060 Missile
01:00:30.320 Defense
01:00:30.800 Initiative
01:00:31.600 And the
01:00:32.440 Fact that
01:00:32.740 We're still
01:00:33.280 Keeping our
01:00:34.280 Options
01:00:34.740 Open on
01:00:35.380 That
01:00:35.620 I think
01:00:36.120 Will be a
01:00:36.500 Big
01:00:36.640 One
01:00:36.820 And also
01:00:37.500 I'll
01:00:37.760 Just add
01:00:38.200 I think
01:00:38.780 Alberta
01:00:39.240 Separation
01:00:39.920 And the
01:00:40.900 Idea of
01:00:41.760 Us selling
01:00:42.760 Our natural
01:00:43.380 Resources
01:00:43.820 Particularly
01:00:44.260 Oil
01:00:44.840 And all
01:00:45.940 Of that
01:00:46.220 Will be
01:00:46.740 Something of
01:00:47.420 Great interest
01:00:47.960 To the
01:00:48.920 Global media
01:00:49.620 On Canadian
01:00:50.680 Soil
01:00:50.980 In Alberta
01:00:51.540 Yeah
01:00:52.000 Warren
01:00:52.380 You know
01:00:52.880 Brad brought
01:00:53.880 Up his
01:00:54.780 Performance
01:00:55.340 And that's
01:00:56.580 I think
01:00:56.900 At issue
01:00:57.440 Here for
01:00:57.860 Me
01:00:57.980 Is like
01:00:58.180 How much
01:00:58.460 Of this
01:00:58.700 Is a
01:00:58.940 Performance
01:00:59.360 What
01:00:59.620 Are this
01:01:00.700 Prime
01:01:01.000 Minister's
01:01:01.420 Values
01:01:01.820 How does
01:01:02.280 He
01:01:02.400 Actually
01:01:02.860 See
01:01:03.220 The
01:01:03.420 World
01:01:03.740 Mackenzie
01:01:04.360 Gray
01:01:04.600 Of
01:01:04.720 Global
01:01:04.980 News
01:01:05.420 Put it
01:01:06.720 To
01:01:06.820 Him
01:01:06.920 He said
01:01:07.080 Explain
01:01:07.760 The elbows
01:01:08.340 Up when
01:01:08.720 You're the
01:01:08.980 One
01:01:09.160 Your team's
01:01:10.040 Calling
01:01:10.380 Wanting to

01:01:12.360 Military
01:01:12.700 On the
01:01:13.080 Golden
01:01:13.320 Dome
01:01:13.680 We find
01:01:14.300 Out about
01:01:14.620 The tariffs
01:01:15.500 That were
01:01:15.780 Secretly
01:01:16.160 Removed
01:01:16.600 During the
01:01:17.040 Campaign
01:01:17.500 Never mind
01:01:18.220 The fact
01:01:18.480 That Danielle
01:01:18.900 Smith
01:01:19.140 Was called
01:01:19.580 A traitor
01:01:20.120 For the
01:01:20.460 Very same
01:01:20.960 Policy
01:01:21.440 That she
01:01:22.380 Upheld
01:01:22.760 But
01:01:23.140 He mentioned
01:01:25.040 He mentioned
01:01:25.080 Something
01:01:25.460 In his
01:01:25.960 Explanation
01:01:26.620 To
01:01:26.800 Mackenzie
01:01:27.180 Gray
01:01:27.460 When he
01:01:28.140 Said
01:01:28.420 Look
01:01:29.500 Everything
01:01:29.920 Has
01:01:30.340 Changed
01:01:30.760 And now
01:01:31.400 We are
01:01:31.940 Willing to
01:01:32.340 Cooperate
01:01:32.880 When we
01:01:33.380 Can
01:01:33.720 But we're
01:01:34.000 Not
01:01:34.160 Necessarily
01:01:34.760 Going to

01:01:35.520 And I
01:01:35.980 Thought to

01:03:30.080 Would
01:03:30.180 Become
01:03:30.420 A
01:03:30.560 51st
01:03:31.080 State
01:03:31.380 And
01:03:31.940 Don't
01:03:32.140 Get
01:03:32.280 Me
01:03:32.380 Wrong
01:03:32.620 Donald
01:03:33.180 Trump
01:03:33.460 Started
01:03:33.880 That
01:03:34.120 Fight
01:03:34.400 Yeah
01:03:34.620 But
01:03:35.060 Mark
01:03:35.300 Carney
01:03:35.540 Certainly
01:03:35.900 Didn't
01:03:36.240 Back
01:03:36.440 Away
01:03:36.680 From
01:03:36.900 It
01:03:37.060 It
01:03:37.180 Was
01:03:37.320 Elbows
01:03:37.600 Up
01:03:37.780 The
01:03:37.920 Way
01:03:38.300 Until
01:03:38.820 He
01:03:39.000 Got
01:03:39.200 In
01:03:39.320 The
01:03:39.440 Saddle
01:03:39.800 And
01:03:39.980 Said
01:03:40.140 You
01:03:40.260 Know
01:03:40.360 What
01:03:40.540 This
01:03:40.740 Is
01:03:40.860 Going
01:03:41.000 To
01:03:41.040 Be
01:03:41.280 A
01:03:41.800 Little
01:03:41.940 Bit
01:03:42.160 More
01:03:42.400 Than
01:03:42.760 That
01:03:42.980 Than
01:03:43.180 We
01:03:43.300 Can
01:03:43.460 Handle
01:03:43.800 So
01:03:44.080 I
01:03:44.740 Can
01:03:44.900 Understand
01:03:45.280 Why
01:03:45.540 A lot
01:03:45.760 Of
01:03:45.860 Voters
01:03:46.120 Would
01:03:46.280 Be
01:03:46.380 Feeling
01:03:46.700 A bit
01:03:46.960 Betrayed
01:03:47.560 By
01:03:48.240 The
01:03:48.540 Way
01:03:48.740 Mark
01:03:49.000 Carney
01:03:49.220 Has
01:03:49.540 Handled
01:03:49.960 His
01:03:50.140 Interactions
01:03:50.620 With
01:03:50.820 The
01:03:50.940 U.S.
01:03:51.260 And
01:03:51.360 The
01:03:51.460 President
01:03:51.800 Since
01:03:52.540 The
01:03:52.700 Election
01:03:53.080 I
01:03:53.620 Think
01:03:53.840 That
01:03:54.020 He
01:03:54.160 Is
01:03:54.320 Doing
01:03:54.580 Things
01:03:54.960 Correctly
01:03:55.620 In
01:03:56.040 Terms
01:03:56.380 Of
01:03:56.580 Not
01:03:57.220 Shutting
01:03:57.600 Down
01:03:57.820 The
01:03:57.980 Golden
01:03:58.200 Dome
01:03:58.520 Even
01:03:58.700 Though
01:03:58.840 I
01:03:58.960 Think
01:03:59.100 It's
01:03:59.220 A
01:03:59.320 Crazy
01:03:59.580 Idea
01:03:59.940 That
01:04:00.100 Will
01:04:00.220 Never
01:04:00.440 Happen
01:04:01.080 He
01:04:01.460 He's
01:04:01.520 Probably
01:04:01.760 Going
01:04:01.960 To
01:04:02.040 Play
01:04:02.260 The
01:04:02.720 Game
01:04:03.000 With
01:04:03.160 Trump
01:04:03.500 But
01:04:04.320 At
01:04:04.420 The
01:04:04.560 Same
01:04:04.740 Time
01:04:05.000 Is
01:04:05.160 A
01:04:05.280 Very
01:04:05.500 Different
01:04:05.780 Mark
01:04:06.020 Carney
01:04:06.320 Than
01:04:06.880 What
01:04:07.020 We
01:04:07.160 Saw
01:04:07.500 At
01:04:08.280 The
01:04:08.400 End
01:04:08.560 Of
01:04:08.680 March
01:04:08.980 Or
01:04:09.200 Even
01:04:09.420 April
01:04:09.800 When
01:04:10.320 The
01:04:10.440 Election
01:04:10.680 Was
01:04:10.880 Held
01:04:11.100 Yeah
01:04:11.340 That's
01:04:11.700 The
01:04:11.800 Thing
01:04:12.120 I'm
01:04:12.280 Not
01:04:12.400 Getting
01:04:12.600 Heated
01:04:12.940 Over
01:04:13.260 What
01:04:14.940 He's
01:04:15.280 Doing
01:04:15.720 Day
01:04:16.660 To
01:04:16.800 Day
01:04:16.980 Because
01:04:17.280 By
01:04:18.040 And
01:04:18.200 Large
01:04:18.440 These
01:04:18.680 Are
01:04:18.780 Things
01:04:18.960 I
01:04:19.140 Agree
01:04:19.440 With
01:04:19.740 I'm
01:04:20.280 Just
01:04:20.500 Putting
01:04:21.080 Myself
01:04:21.440 In
01:04:21.560 The
01:04:21.700 Shoes
01:04:22.060 Brad
01:04:22.500 Of
01:04:23.120 Someone
01:04:23.460 Who
01:04:23.640 May
01:04:23.800 Have
01:04:23.960 Voted
01:04:24.540 For
01:04:24.820 Him
01:04:24.980 Because
01:04:25.220 They
01:04:25.380 Felt
01:04:25.680 That
01:04:25.900 There
01:04:26.320 Was
01:04:26.500 A
01:04:26.700 Cultural
01:04:27.660 And
01:04:27.980 National
01:04:28.360 Imperative
01:04:28.900 To
01:04:29.100 Do
01:04:29.280 So
01:04:29.600 Only
01:04:30.120 To
01:04:30.240 See
01:04:30.580 That
01:04:30.740 It's
01:04:30.860 Business
01:04:31.180 As
01:04:31.400 Usual
01:04:31.780 Yeah
01:04:33.620 Well
01:04:33.820 When
01:04:34.020 It
01:04:34.160 Comes
01:04:34.780 To
01:04:35.020 Something
01:04:35.720 Like
01:04:36.040 This
01:04:36.780 Missile
01:04:37.120 Defense
01:04:37.580 Kate's
01:04:38.460 Right
01:04:38.680 This
01:04:39.080 Is
01:04:39.220 Never
01:04:39.460 Going
01:04:39.640 To
01:04:39.740 Happen
01:04:40.720 And
01:04:40.940 It's
01:04:41.920 A
01:04:42.040 Crazy
01:04:42.640 Idea
01:04:42.940 It was
01:04:43.060 A
01:04:43.160 Crazy
01:04:43.400 Idea
01:04:43.740 When
01:04:43.940 George
01:04:44.300 Bush
01:04:44.860 Jr.
01:04:45.720 Put
01:04:46.600 It
01:04:46.780 To
01:04:46.900 Paul
01:04:47.220 Martin
01:04:47.600 20
01:04:49.000 Plus
01:04:49.340 Years
01:04:49.560 Ago
01:04:49.800 But
01:04:50.680 You
01:04:51.040 Know
01:04:51.200 As
01:04:51.700 A
01:04:51.820 Negotiating
01:04:52.340 Tactic
01:04:52.680 You
01:04:52.920 Don't
01:04:53.220 Have
01:04:53.380 To
01:04:53.520 Say
01:04:53.720 No
01:04:54.020 To
01:04:54.160 Something
01:04:54.440 That's
01:04:54.740 Never
01:04:54.920 Going
01:04:55.080 To
01:04:55.140 Happen
01:04:55.500 You
01:04:55.720 Can
01:04:55.900 Keep
01:04:56.180 Them
01:04:56.320 Going
01:04:56.680 And
01:04:57.160 Saying
01:04:57.480 Well
01:04:57.880 We're
01:04:58.240 Going
01:04:58.380 To
01:04:58.480 Find
01:04:59.040 Out
01:04:59.200 More
01:04:59.380 What
01:04:59.560 He
01:04:59.660 Says
01:04:59.900 That
01:05:00.100 That
01:05:00.320 Gets
01:05:00.560 Trump
01:05:00.840 Excited
01:05:01.360 And
01:05:01.960 Perhaps
01:05:02.620 It's
01:05:03.020 A
01:05:03.200 Negotiating
01:05:04.460 Tactic
01:05:04.900 To
01:05:05.360 Get
01:05:05.520 Him
01:05:05.620 On
01:05:05.840 To
01:05:05.960 Other
01:05:06.160 Things
01:05:06.500 Because
01:05:06.760 We
01:05:06.960 Haven't
01:05:07.220 Said
01:05:07.420 No
01:05:07.700 To
01:05:07.840 Something
01:05:16.780 As
01:05:16.880 A
01:05:17.000 Conversation
01:05:17.560 Is
01:05:17.700 Going

01:05:18.400 He's
01:05:18.680 Distracted
01:05:19.240 Again
01:05:19.420 And
01:05:19.540 Now
01:05:19.680 He's
01:05:19.800 Looking
01:05:19.980 Over
01:05:20.140 The

01:05:24.140 Is

01:09:42.360 But I can't not remember it now
01:09:47.500 I made the best of what became a bad deal
01:09:56.820 I talk shit with the nurses
01:10:01.860 And clock a heart on a deep end drill
01:10:06.740 Can't be scared when you're asleep
01:10:11.420 For the first of the six weeks
01:10:14.820 I felt like I could barely speak
01:10:20.780 Of what I say
01:10:24.020 Anyway
01:10:41.420 I try to see the finish drop
01:10:53.920 But the light at the end keeps getting further out
01:10:59.960 But once again
01:11:02.400 It flippers and blinks
01:11:07.100 Just enough for me to get through it again
01:11:12.100 Another day
01:11:17.360 Another pain
01:11:19.960 But at the end of it
01:11:22.640 I think I'll be okay
01:11:25.360 I think I'll be okay
01:11:26.360 I think I'll be okay
01:11:26.760 I think I'll be okay
