00:00:00.000 Have you ever seen someone's head explode on live television?

00:00:03.380 Today I'm going to show you that.

00:00:05.040 This week, Pierre Poliev made waves by suggesting that Justin Trudeau was a criminal

00:00:08.980 and should be sent to prison for crimes he committed while sitting in office.

00:00:13.260 Naturally, the left-wing establishment is in full-on panic mode right now.

00:00:17.920 To start off, I'm going to show you the clip that caused all this drama.

00:00:21.100 Many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have been involved jail time.

00:00:25.420 I mean, Trudeau broke the criminal code when he took a free vacation from someone with

00:00:30.160 whom he had government business.

00:00:31.720 It's just like it's right there in the criminal code.

00:00:33.800 If the RCMP had been doing its job and not covering up for him, then he would have been

00:00:38.720 criminally charged.

00:00:40.880 Then again, he probably violated the criminal code and the S&C-Lavalin scandal.

00:00:46.560 These would normally have led to criminal charges, but of course, the RCMP covered it all up.

00:00:51.580 And the leadership of the RCMP is, frankly, just despicable when it comes to enforcing

00:00:57.160 laws against the Liberal government.

00:00:59.820 But yeah, I would fire them.

00:01:01.440 And in cases like that, I would report them to the police.

00:01:06.660 That's what should have happened.

00:01:08.240 And it's going to happen.

00:01:09.600 We're going to be at a higher standard.

00:01:11.740 Well, hopefully it doesn't happen that nobody actually puts you in a position.

00:01:15.240 It's not going to happen in our case because we're not going to hire people who are there

00:01:18.940 to rip off the system.

00:01:19.960 Now, that's one of my favorite clips from Polyev.

00:01:22.520 I wish he would say stuff like that more often.

00:01:24.940 The left, they're in panic mode right now.

00:01:27.680 Polyev's a strong dude, and he's not one to give in to the woke mob.

00:01:31.280 He doubled down on his comments during a recent press conference, and I'll show you that.

00:01:35.160 On Thursday, Polyev was asked if he thinks his criticism is appropriate and if he'd take

00:01:40.660 up Commissioner Duhem's offer to meet.

00:01:44.260 Yes and yes.

00:01:45.240 Obviously, Justin Trudeau violated Section 121 of the criminal code when he accepted a

00:01:53.280 quarter million dollar vacation from someone who had asked for him to give a $10 million

00:01:59.180 government grant.

00:02:00.580 The RCMP's own documents revealed that there were grounds to believe that fraud had happened.

00:02:10.180 And yet, even though he broke the criminal code, the brass of the RCMP said that they could

00:02:19.160 not, quote, productively pursue an investigation.

00:02:21.880 If the RCMP Commissioner is now saying that he wants to open that investigation, we're prepared

00:02:28.540 to hand over all the evidence of Mr. Trudeau's criminal code violations.

00:02:33.240 Now, the literal medium, they're having a full-on meltdown over this.

00:02:37.260 CTV actually put out a full episode just on Polyev's comments.

00:02:41.320 Now, before I show you that, I've noticed that my videos aren't getting as much traction as they

00:02:44.600 normally do.

00:02:45.620 If you see this part, don't forget to like and subscribe, and let me know whether you saw

00:02:49.440 this in the comment section.

00:02:50.560 I'm doing a quick test.

00:02:52.180 All right, let's get back to the action.

00:02:54.480 So why is Polyev raising this issue again years later?

00:02:58.980 Is there a political calculation?

00:03:01.200 Let's ask the front bench. 0.97

00:03:02.620 Sabrina Grover was a federal liberal candidate in the 2021 election.

00:03:06.120 She's senior advisor at North Star Public Affairs.

00:03:09.100 Melanie Paradis is a former communications director to Erin O'Toole.

00:03:12.160 She's now president of Texture Communications.

00:03:15.020 Former interim NDP national director Carl Belanger is here.

00:03:18.540 He is now the president of Distraction Strategies.

00:03:21.000 And we also have CTV national news correspondent, Abigail Beeman.

00:03:24.800 Thank you all for being here.

00:03:26.060 And Abigail, you've been working on this story all day long.

00:03:29.320 What has the reaction been?

00:03:30.860 What struck me, Mike, so far covering this story was how hard it has been to get a conservative

00:03:36.000 who wants to speak on the record, on camera, about this.

00:03:39.100 I don't think I've had so many rejections to interview requests on this one.

00:03:43.440 Well, of course, they rejected your request to do an interview.

00:03:46.140 You're not going to report on the news honestly, sweetheart.

00:03:48.940 Behind the scenes, you know, it's a different story.

00:03:51.060 And there are obviously different camps, different reactions.

00:03:53.280 But a political hand grenade is one of the on background comments that I got from someone

00:03:59.940 who wasn't able to go on camera about that.

00:04:02.980 So there are some who believe that the opposition leader has gone too far in these comments,

00:04:07.800 specifically about invoking the idea of jail.

00:04:12.360 Case in point, when these so-called journalists don't have anything to report, they just make

00:04:17.080 stuff up.

00:04:18.000 I'm pretty sure no sitting conservative politician objects to the idea of having Justin Trudeau

00:04:22.080 go to prison.

00:04:23.280 Not at all.

00:04:24.380 There's not a sitting politician that would say something like that because they know

00:04:27.920 that's what he deserves.

00:04:29.660 And I, for one, I really like the fact Paulyev said that.

00:04:32.920 When he says stuff like that, I like him more and more.

00:04:35.560 And some who believe that that is veering too close to US-style politics, whereas liberals

00:04:42.020 on the other side have been publicly condemning these comments.

00:04:46.280 And that comparison to Trump, they feel has served them well before.

00:04:51.100 So they're happy to talk about this story and quick to jump on that angle.

00:04:55.520 But sort of mixed reactions among the conservatives that I've spoken to in terms of why and how

00:05:00.840 and what he has been saying.

00:05:03.380 Yeah.

00:05:03.660 And Mel, I have a feeling you'll agree that it is some mixed reaction to it.

00:05:08.400 So I guess the question, you know, sort of playing off of what Abigail said, why bring

00:05:12.340 out this political grenade right now?

00:05:15.760 So I've been racking my brain to try to think about what the strategy was here.

00:05:21.540 And there doesn't always have to be a strategy behind me sometimes.

00:05:26.760 You know, conservatives are really good at fighting the last war.

00:05:32.120 We hold grudges like you just can't believe.

00:05:35.460 And this interview was really a greatest hits replay of all of the things that upset the

00:05:40.820 base the most.

00:05:42.480 So we had like the 2016 Aga Khan Island.

00:05:46.100 That was 10 years ago.

00:05:47.200 The 2019 SNC-Lavalin scandal, six years ago.

00:05:51.000 Then the comments about the RCMP were really about the leadership under Brenda Luckey, who

00:05:56.740 resigned in 2023, two years ago.

00:05:59.800 These are all things that happened.

00:06:01.060 I think they're worth mentioning, I think, but like none of them made anybody stop voting

00:06:06.780 liberal.

00:06:08.200 Most Canadians have memory hold Justin Trudeau.

00:06:11.860 All they care about is when he is sighted on a yacht with Katy Perry now.

00:06:16.900 And so I would just like to urge conservatives to please stop talking about Justin Trudeau,

00:06:22.100 because every time you do, all you are doing is contrasting him with Mark Carney.

00:06:26.720 And it does not help conservatives at all.

00:06:29.640 Well, I disagree.

00:06:30.000 I think this does help conservatives, but I will say she's right about one thing.

00:06:34.300 There was no strategy.

00:06:36.040 These comments came when Polly was doing a podcast and he was doing what he normally does.

00:06:40.740 He talks.

00:06:41.540 And when he says things, the things that he's saying are true. 0.94

00:06:45.280 Justin Trudeau, at least in my opinion, is a criminal and committed crimes when he was 0.93

00:06:49.520 in office. 0.98

00:06:50.440 There's nothing wrong with saying that.

00:06:52.160 The real story is that if the RCMP did its job many years ago, we wouldn't even have

00:06:56.220 to talk about this.

00:06:57.580 My God, these people are dense.

00:06:59.180 Yeah.

00:06:59.820 And I hesitated making this panel about why former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was wearing

00:07:05.220 jeans on a yacht.

00:07:06.520 But that, I think, is going to take a whole hour.

00:07:10.300 And maybe it's, you know, power play after dark.

00:07:13.560 That is a show's suggestion that I have that I have to talk to people at CTV about.

00:07:18.480 But, Sabrina, it feels like this is a gift to the Liberals when there are so many other

00:07:24.400 things to hold them to account on.

00:07:27.640 Like, maybe Pierre should call the RCMP for a wellness check.

00:07:31.800 Or maybe the Conservative Party should call the RCMP for a wellness check on Pierre.

00:07:36.600 Excuse me?

00:07:37.520 What did you just say?

00:07:38.520 For a wellness check on Pierre.

00:07:40.260 Who does this woman think she is? 1.00

00:07:44.960 I think Paulyev should also consider putting her in jail.

00:07:47.520 This is so far from being relevant or something that people are talking about.

00:07:52.220 It is almost a bizarre break with reality.

00:07:54.740 Like, is he actually okay?

00:07:56.740 The only possible thing I can think about that is getting this, you know, this line of

00:08:03.260 topic or this line of thinking back on track is like, is he afraid of the leadership review

00:08:08.840 in January?

00:08:09.480 Is he trying to reactivate a base that maybe is flowing away from him?

00:08:15.300 Is he trying to, you know, pick that fight that didn't even exist in the last election

00:08:20.760 with Justin Trudeau to secure that leadership?

00:08:23.340 Like, that is the only possible angle that I can see for Pierre going down this path.

00:08:28.380 Because otherwise, it is irrelevant.

00:08:30.560 It doesn't attack a budget that's coming in two weeks that you would really think that

00:08:34.300 they would be spending their whole entire, you know, media cycle on.

00:08:37.780 Um, it's just confusing.

00:08:41.660 Yeah.

00:08:42.180 And Carl, to Sabrina's point, I mean, where he did it, how he's doing it, and why he's

00:08:47.380 doing it.

00:08:47.840 And it all kind of starts to point in a direction of, does he worry that there's a part of the

00:08:53.400 base that he's starting to lose and he's, or he needs to sort of get excited about to

00:08:58.720 come out to that leadership convention and to make sure that he has a big number?

00:09:02.800 Do you think that that's the indication here?

00:09:04.960 Could be.

00:09:05.720 Uh, but to me, it's just, he was amongst friends that believe the same stuff he believes

00:09:09.440 in.

00:09:09.800 So he said those things.

00:09:11.300 He let his guard down.

00:09:12.400 I don't know that we have come here and said the same things to you, but he did because

00:09:16.560 he was comfortable and they believe that stuff and he believes that stuff.

00:09:20.000 And so they all talk to each other.

00:09:21.440 That's a flank to go out on.

00:09:22.820 I mean, that's, that's a ledge that you put yourself out on.

00:09:25.220 Yeah.

00:09:25.380 You know, you say you're comfortable.

00:09:27.100 I mean, that doesn't come up normally.

00:09:29.400 It shouldn't, you know, it's years ago.

00:09:32.040 People have moved on.

00:09:33.120 He's not running again.

00:09:35.160 I mean, Justin Trudeau has moved on as Mel has also, you know, laid out.

00:09:39.040 I think the problem is that it reminded Canadians one of the reasons why they voted for Mark

00:09:43.420 Carney, which is they were afraid that this guy was a mini Donald Trump using the same

00:09:48.280 kind of tactics, the same kind of language, the same kind of rhetoric.

00:09:50.800 And now he wants, like Donald Trump, to put his political opponents in jail and he's calling

00:09:54.980 the police or liberal police.

00:09:56.380 That's what he's doing.

00:09:57.620 Yeah.

00:09:57.760 So I don't know that it's working for him.

00:09:59.400 Maybe it is.

00:10:00.260 Maybe it is for that leadership review.

00:10:01.880 But in the long run, I don't think it's going to help reassure Canadians of why, you know,

00:10:06.900 they were concerned about him in the first place.

00:10:09.240 I don't think Canadians are seeing this and saying, wow, he's changed.

00:10:12.520 Well, no, he hasn't changed the same guy.

00:10:13.940 But if I may, I think worth pointing out to Carl's point that, that if that was a message

00:10:18.460 for the base on that, in that YouTube channel, in that interview, what really stood out to

00:10:23.300 me today was, was the clip that you played when he was asked again for a second time in

00:10:27.540 a broader context, he didn't back down, you know, he said, he doubled down instead.

00:10:31.920 Yeah.

00:10:32.380 Yeah.

00:10:32.980 Mel, what do you think?

00:10:33.780 Do you think that that play here is looking at the leadership race and saying, eh, I got

00:10:37.860 to make sure I have the votes that I, that I think I have?

00:10:41.500 There definitely is a segment of the party that is still, still does not understand how

00:10:48.400 we continuously lost to Justin Trudeau.

00:10:50.920 And that despite all of these scandals, despite SNC-Lavalin, Aga Khan, Blackface in 0.98

00:10:57.960 2019, like in the middle of the election, how we still managed to lose, that that didn't

00:11:02.960 stop people from vote, from voting liberal.

00:11:04.900 There's definitely a segment of, of the base that just doesn't understand and they're still

00:11:08.980 angry about it.

00:11:09.780 And so I do think that speaking to that segment of the base is, is perhaps the strategy here.

00:11:16.860 Now, I want to add something.

00:11:18.940 I think one of the reasons that Polly have lost is Canada doesn't have an established

00:11:22.960 right-wing broadcaster, sort of like the United States.

00:11:25.980 In the United States, you have Fox News and One America News.

00:11:29.160 In Canada, everything that's broadcasting on television is left-wing.

00:11:33.260 And that makes a huge difference.

00:11:34.700 Now I know that a lot of people get their news from social media these days.

00:11:38.020 However, there's a lot of people, especially old people, that still rely on cable satellite

00:11:42.600 to get their news.

00:11:44.180 Something to think about.

00:11:45.040 Now back to the liberal media, they have a habit of making a mountain out of a molehill

00:11:49.280 and a molehill out of a mountain.

00:11:51.800 And let me explain.

00:11:53.040 The real story is why did the RCMP not charge Justin Trudeau?

00:11:57.460 That's the real story.

00:11:59.000 The real story is not, oh, Polly, I've said something about it during a podcast.

00:12:03.180 That's not the story.

00:12:04.820 But this is an example of how the establishment, the left-wing media, spins things around.

00:12:09.860 Because a lot of Canadians, they're not watching my podcast.

00:12:12.180 They should, but they're not right now.

00:12:14.620 They're watching CTV, CBC, global news, and that's what they're putting out there.

00:12:19.640 They're trying to make it sound like, oh, Polly has this bad guy. 0.92

00:12:23.640 He's this banana republic wannabe type where he just wants to put everyone in jail.

00:12:28.580 And it's like, that's not really what he was saying.

00:12:32.020 That's not what he was saying.

00:12:33.380 But that's what people think he was saying because they don't have the facts.

00:12:38.100 And they don't have the facts because the media, the mainstream media, is not being honest with people.

00:12:43.380 This is really about the RCMP not doing its job.

00:12:46.520 I have a piece of advice for the RCMP.

00:12:49.260 If you want people to trust you and take you seriously, do your jobs.

00:12:53.620 Arrest Justin Trudeau.

00:12:55.440 Same with the mainstream media.

00:12:57.160 You want people to watch your videos?

00:12:58.780 You want people to take you seriously?

00:13:00.780 Try reporting the news honestly for a change.

00:13:03.400 That might help.

00:13:04.300 Anyway, that's all I have to say for today.

00:13:06.240 Thanks for tuning in.

00:13:07.440 Hope you had a great weekend.

00:13:08.820 Talk to you tomorrow, Patriots.
