00:00:29.360
this move has mexico and canada panicking trying to find any way possible that they can salvage

00:01:06.560
motors is dropping electric van production at its plant near london ontario the announcement makes
00:01:12.160
uncertainty in the auto industry more pronounced putting the plant's future and 1200 jobs at risk we
00:01:18.080
we don't need their cars you know they make 20 of our cars we don't need that i'd rather make them
00:01:22.320
in detroit we don't need the cars but why are we supporting a country 200 billion plus a year
00:01:32.560
our military is at their disposal all of these other things they should be a state canada wouldn't be
00:01:38.640
able to function if we didn't take their 20 of our car market you know we again they send us hundreds of
00:01:45.760
thousands of cars they make a lot of money with that they send us a lot of other things that we
00:01:50.240
don't need we don't need their cars we need to start hitting back and hitting back hard that's the only
00:01:56.240
thing this this uh person understands sir i just get pumped up talking about this guy he drives me
00:02:03.360
absolutely crazy he does and we aren't going to roll over he's not good i'm not going to let him roll
00:02:07.360
over ontario i'll tell you that listen to dog ford trying to sound tough as two car makers announced
00:02:13.040
just this week that they're closing shop in ontario and heading south of the border you got
00:02:18.480
stellantis which makes jeep vehicles announcing that they're officially shutting down their
00:02:24.320
production of the jeep compass in brampton ontario and transferring that production to the state of
00:02:30.400
illinois and just recently gm announces that they're closing another plant in ontario where they
00:02:37.440
were producing some sort of commercial electric van all this not to mention several other companies
00:02:44.400
and banks that have announced plans to exit the canadian market and heading to the usa but yet you
00:02:51.360
got politicians talking tough and paying lip service like dog ford while doing very little to actually
00:02:58.800
help the situation and quite the opposite making it worse watch i will do everything uh including cut off
00:03:06.720
their energy with a smile on my face you think the people of ontario are that dumb like i'm gonna
00:03:14.400
i'm gonna call you out and get one of those cans i'm gonna rip that label off encourage people to buy
00:03:20.160
made in ontario made in canada soup and maybe what you should do is bring back your manufacturing facility
00:03:26.080
that you closed down in etobicoke and got rid of hundreds of people i'm gonna show you one thing uh
00:03:31.920
we're gonna make sure that we inflict as much pain as possible to the american people without inflicting
00:03:39.600
uh pain on the canadian population sure why not threaten to cut off their electricity that's a good
00:03:45.920
idea i'm sure trump will respond very well to that diplomacy at his best you're considering military force
00:03:55.200
to acquire panama in greenland are you also considering military force to annex and acquire
00:04:01.280
no economic force because canada and the united states that would really be something you get rid of
00:04:09.440
that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like and it would also be much
00:04:15.120
better for national security don't forget we basically protect canada but here's the problem with
00:04:20.160
canada so many friends up there uh i love the canadian people they're great but we're spending
00:04:28.400
hundreds of billions a year to protect it meanwhile trump's been saying the exact same thing about
00:04:33.200
canada from the moment he got elected if your economy is so dependent on the united states for
00:04:38.720
survival then maybe you should just become part of america he's been telling canadian politicians the
00:04:44.960
same message for months if you truly want free trade then open your market the president understands
00:04:53.440
that we need to open the markets canada is not open to us they need to open their market unless they're
00:05:00.240
willing to open their market they're gonna pay a tariff let's have real free trade where there's no
00:05:05.840
tariffs on your side or our side but there's an issue canada is very protectionist while the government
00:05:13.680
complains that trump policies are protectionist they do the exact same thing here tariffing american
00:05:20.480
exports into canada as high as three to four hundred percent especially when it comes to dairy all to
00:05:28.080
protect the quebec dairy cartel we attack livelihoods of people of ontario and canadians we're going to
00:05:33.840
use every tool in our toolbox to defend uh ontarians and canadians across the border trump responded to
00:05:40.960
ford's threat today saying this well that's okay if he does that that's fine but the united states is
00:05:46.960
subsidizing canada it's really a subsidy and we shouldn't have to do it the president started this
00:05:53.200
fight so if i'm hearing you're saying you're going to run attack ads basically against what he's doing
00:05:56.960
in the states well i wouldn't call them attack ads i'm going to call them information ads okay and
00:06:01.600
they're going to inform uh the great people of the united states you know how it could be and having
00:06:08.960
two great nations and how it might be if these tariffs continue to go through uh as far as i'm
00:06:15.120
concerned it's it's unacceptable you'll see some of the presidents that were the most successful
00:06:20.800
were believers in tariffs and i even see foreign countries now that we are doing very well with
00:06:27.360
taking ads don't go with tariffs they're taking ads i saw an ad last night from canada
00:06:32.720
if i was canada i'd take that same man also but uh they're actually on television taking ads but
00:06:38.960
again to me it seems like these people either don't know what the hell they're doing or their
00:06:44.240
goal is for this trade war to continue indefinitely what kind of negotiating tactic involves buying
00:06:51.840
attack ads against the person you're trying to negotiate with especially if that person you're
00:06:56.800
dealing with is donald trump in what world is that a good idea i'm not a politician and even i know that
00:07:04.000
and then you have mark carney taking a page from trudeau's book where he's all nice to trump's face
00:07:10.400
and then gets all gossipy when he returns to canada talking smack about trump do these people
00:07:16.320
not realize that trump watches this stuff i can't control donald trump i gotta tell you
00:07:21.280
actually i can't let him think i'm controlling him is maybe a better way to do it
00:07:31.840
