Transcript

00:00:00.040 Now if you're a regular viewer to my channel, there's a good chance you don't like Doug Ford.
00:00:04.340 Today I'm going to give you another good reason to hate the guy.
00:00:07.180 Today he was caught lying on live television, and what he said was so ridiculous,
00:00:11.680 so egregious, that even CTV had to cut off his mic. Let's take a look at that.
00:00:16.080 A couple months ago, I pull in, I escape from my detail at 8 o'clock in the morning before they
00:00:21.820 come, and it ticks them off. So I hop in my pickup, and I want to go to Home Depot, it was on a
00:00:27.220 Saturday, and I pull up, and I wanted to get some plants. Actually, it was the weekend before the
00:00:33.220 Prime Minister came. I wanted to get plants for the cottage, so I loaded up, and I pulled up right
00:00:39.940 by the nursery. I think the majority have been to Home Depot, so I pull right up, I load up all the
00:00:44.960 plants, and I'm ready to pull out, and here's this guy with a backpack and, you know, a bag, and he's
00:00:53.600 walking out, and the store manager's yelling at him, you know, come back, come back, and the security
00:00:58.000 guard's there, and I said, well, go get him. We aren't allowed to go get him, and so he went around
00:01:04.360 the side of where all the plants and outside the parking lot. Now, to be fair, the first part does
00:01:09.540 sound believable. However, this next part that you're going to hear is a complete and obvious
00:01:14.280 fabrication. So I was in my car, I said, screw this, I'm going after this guy. So by this time,
00:01:21.140 my heart's beating, I'm ticked off. So I go racing behind, no one can see, and I pull up behind him,
00:01:27.360 I jump in on the car, I said, buddy, what's in your bag? Nothing's in my bag. I said, buddy,
00:01:33.220 I'm going to kick your ass all over the parking lot, show me what's in your bag. I did, I couldn't
00:01:38.540 help myself. Okay, I'm just going to say it, that clearly didn't happen. I can't see a morbidly obese
00:01:43.800 guy like Doug Ford chasing down a criminal and then threatening to beat him. But just listen,
00:01:48.900 the story gets even more ridiculous as it goes along.
00:01:52.360 And so I said, buddy, come over here. Nothing's in my bag. And so we started now by this time,
00:01:58.700 the store manager comes and he's on fire. You know, he's cursing and swearing. I guess I threw
00:02:03.740 in a couple colorful language too. And so he's emptying out his bag. And all of a sudden, so he's
00:02:11.440 saying, nothing's here. I said, how about your other bag? It's because he dropped and heard a
00:02:15.180 cling. And so he went in there and he pulled out one of those saw blades that you open up
00:02:19.860 and you can use it as a saw blade. And the store manager said, that's what he stole. And then,
00:02:27.240 you know, we start saying to the guy. And then I said, keep emptying out the bag. He pulls out some
00:02:33.780 cutters, 10 steps. And I'm by this time, I'm in a pretty rage. I'm just in a full outrage on this guy.
00:02:39.700 Yeah. Okay. Dougie. I'm sure that really happened, but just listen, the story gets even
00:02:45.720 more ridiculous. And I said, buddy, you stole those two. And he goes, I swear to God, I didn't
00:02:51.300 steal them. I didn't steal them. He said, look at the rust on them. I looked at them. They were
00:02:55.540 rusty. I said, okay, those are yours, but the rest. And then I went on to tell him if I ever see him in
00:03:02.020 the parking lot, he's going to get a beating like he's never got before. And let me guess,
00:03:05.600 everyone started clapping after, and then people started lining up asking Doug Ford for his
00:03:10.660 autograph, right? Out of all the things that didn't happen, I'm pretty sure this didn't happen
00:03:16.140 the most. Doug Ford is on a roll lately. He's been making more ridiculous statements than he ever has
00:03:21.420 before. I wonder what's going on here. This guy is such an embarrassment as premier. He'll never be
00:03:26.780 half the politician that Daniel Smith is. Now, if you follow my channel, my big B for the Ford was the
00:03:31.820 fact that he badmouthed pure Polyev during his election campaign. I understand having problems
00:03:36.820 with people. Sure. But when you're on the same team, supposedly the conservative team, you don't
00:03:42.200 badmouth each other in public. That's not okay. That's not acceptable. And I'll never forgive Doug
00:03:47.580 Ford for doing that. I've also read reports. I'm not sure if they're true, but there are reports that
00:03:52.640 Doug Ford paid a couple of his friends to go to one of the rallies and sabotage Polyev's campaign.
00:03:57.900 I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. But even if it's not true, there's no excuse for what Doug
00:04:03.220 Ford said in public about his supposed friend, Pierre Polyev. Now, as a side note, Daniel Smith
00:04:08.560 usually acts cordial and friendly to Doug Ford in public. But I've heard in private, she hates his
00:04:13.740 guts. And who wouldn't? He's a very unlikable person. Even Rob Ford's campaign manager, Nick
00:04:20.020 Cavella, says that Doug Ford is a very mean, nasty person. So make of that what you will. But just wait,
00:04:25.900 Doug Ford said even more dumb stuff today. But before we get into that, I noticed my videos
00:04:30.700 aren't getting as much traction as they usually do. So if you see this, take a second to like,
00:04:35.480 subscribe, and then let me know in the comment section whether you saw this part. I want to do
00:04:39.860 a quick test. Thanks. Let's get back to the action.
00:04:42.920 I hope, first of all, everyone had a great Thanksgiving. And I had an opportunity to sit
00:04:48.460 back this weekend and think of what we're grateful for and thankful for. And I'm very thankful,
00:04:55.840 first of all, for the people of Ontario giving us the opportunity and the privilege to serve
00:05:01.760 for another four years, I should say. And then I thought about my team. You know,
00:05:09.580 Premier Harris, you probably won't like that. My dad was part of that team, but you had an
00:05:13.780 incredible team. But I think I've been blessed with the best team in politics that I can ever
00:05:20.040 remember. It's just one all-star, one after the other, after the other, in every single ministry.
00:05:26.780 And our bench is super, super deep. And I'm just blessed for that. Someone came up to me on the
00:05:34.420 weekend, and we're chatting, you know, I was out and about, buying some food. We have a big family.
00:05:41.240 We're big eaters, as you can see. Now, there's nothing wrong with being a big eater or being
00:05:45.320 overweight. It's not healthy, but nothing morally wrong with that. The only problem is bragging about
00:05:51.100 it while people in your province literally starve due to bad economic policies by the government.
00:05:55.860 At least this part is true, unlike that stupid shoplifter story.
00:06:00.540 But, you know, someone came up and asked, can you, I won't get into it, but can you do this?
00:06:06.400 And I said, well, I'll look into it. But you have the power to do it. You're the most powerful person.
00:06:12.780 And I stopped the person in his tracks. I said, I'm not the most powerful person. I have the most,
00:06:19.420 you know, I have the largest responsibility. And I said, if I surround myself with incredible people
00:06:27.320 like there are in this room, then we can do powerful things. And if you think of everyone
00:06:32.580 in this room from every sector, it's just unbelievable. And we can make it or break it
00:06:39.560 from just people in this room and the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of employees that you
00:06:45.520 employ. And I know we can do it. We live in the greatest country in the entire world,
00:06:50.960 bar none. We live in the greatest subsovereign nation in the world, bar none. And we can be the
00:06:57.900 richest, most powerful, most secure jurisdiction anywhere in the entire world. But I'll get into
00:07:06.460 how we, how we do this. We're here today to talk about Ontario's economy. We can't do so
00:07:13.560 without acknowledging the elephant in the room. President Trump continues to take direct aim
00:07:20.040 at Canada. Well, he's going to really go after us now. I'm reading my speech. I just called him
00:07:24.580 an elephant. But anyways, can't call that guy any name. Okay. I like to think I speak on behalf of all
00:07:30.260 Canadians. When I say this, Doug Ford, on behalf of Canada, shut your big mouth. You're not
00:07:36.320 helping by saying things like this. You're not helping by being all tough with Donald Trump.
00:07:41.100 This is not your place. Stop it. Anyways, he's added and expanded tariffs on Canadian steel,
00:07:48.920 autos, aluminum, lumber, and copper, just to name a few. He went off kilter and started to go after
00:07:54.660 cabinet makers and so on and so forth. By every measure, he seems intent on putting tariffs on
00:08:02.000 pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, heavy trucks, film industry, and critical minerals. If I've said it
00:08:09.680 once, I've said it a million times. A tariff on Canada is nothing more than a tax on Americans.
00:08:16.620 And I tell that to my American friends. I talk to the governors, senators, and congressmen and women
00:08:21.920 every single day. Ironically, even Republicans, they don't agree with that. They don't agree with
00:08:29.420 President Trump's attack on his closest allies and friends. But unfortunately, they're too scared,
00:08:36.660 to the exception of a few senators, too scared to say anything. Yale University has put out the cost
00:08:43.740 of tariffs at about $2,400 for every American household and expects the American economy to
00:08:50.160 shed nearly half a million jobs by the end of 2025. We're already seeing the impact. American
00:08:59.480 manufacturing employment has declined for five months in a row, with 78,000 fewer manufacturing
00:09:07.520 jobs in the U.S. today than a year ago. And folks, I'm a big Ronald Reagan fan. So, you know, I'm going
00:09:15.680 through all Ronald Reagan and the great Prime Minister, Prime Minister Mulroney at the time. And I
00:09:23.420 approached my deputy chief, Travis. Man, this guy is such a doofus. Like, who votes for these people
00:09:30.300 anywhere? All right, listening to Premier Ford speaking at the Empire Club in Toronto. And he just said
00:09:35.720 earlier, talking about President Trump, he says he's taking direct aim at Canada with tariffs on
00:09:41.080 cars, steel, minerals, etc. He calls it a tax on Americans. Now, this whole speech is called
00:09:47.380 Protecting Ontario, delivered by Ford. And he says, overall, that he wants to protect this province and
00:09:53.580 keep the economy and business competitive. Of course, we'll keep an eye on this speech. And if
00:09:57.820 anything else comes out of it, we'll share it with you on five and six tonight.
00:10:00.720 Did you see that? His speech was so long, so boring, so egregious, so ridiculous, that CTV cut
00:10:07.240 off his mic and started talking over him. That's when you know you screwed up. That's when you know
00:10:12.500 that you've done a bad job, is when CTV says, look, we've had enough of this guy. Let's put something
00:10:18.200 else on. What happened there was someone in the control room at CTV said, okay, you know what? I can't
00:10:23.460 listen to this guy talk anymore. Cut his mic, put something else on. And rightfully so. The guy's an
00:10:29.480 idiot. Now, once again, I also speak on behalf of most Canadians, or I would like to think so.
00:10:34.260 We need to start electing better politicians. How the heck did we get clowns like Trudeau,
00:10:39.560 Carney, Doug Ford running the show? It really says something about us. We need to get out there and
00:10:44.940 demand more from our politicians. And we need to demand better politicians. Sort of like Polly Eve.
00:10:50.680 But anyway, thanks for tuning in. If you like this episode, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:10:55.060 Talk to you tomorrow.
