00:00:00.000 Well, this is breaking news. It looks like Pierre Poliev finally did what he was supposed to do
00:00:06.640 last year, and he met with Joe Rogan. And I mean, you got to ask, where was this guy during the
00:00:14.320 campaign last year? Because back then, he was playing it safe. Vanilla. A lot of people were
00:00:22.480 complaining about him tiptoeing around the real issues like mass immigration and the need for
00:00:29.600 deportations and things along those lines. All the stuff that his base actually cared about
00:00:36.800 and continues to care about today. And what happens when you stand for nothing? Well,
00:00:43.960 you fall for anything. And that's exactly how the liberals slipped back in. Helped along,
00:00:50.220 of course, by people so obsessed with Donald Trump that they would vote against anybody,
00:00:55.380 including their own interest but this this joe rogan move this is different because joe rogan
00:01:04.440 doesn't play by the mainstream media rules he does whatever he wants and he talks to whoever
00:01:11.280 he wants about whatever he wants to talk about and he talks to millions of people especially
00:01:17.620 young people, particularly young men in the United States and in Canada. The exact demographic
00:01:26.460 conservatives are trying to lock in. And let's be honest, that Trump interview helped President
00:01:34.260 Trump win the election. There's no way to deny that. It shifted the energy. It brought in people
00:01:40.880 who normally don't even watch politics. And that is how President Trump won on a landslide. But
00:01:47.320 That's because President Trump was brave enough to go there and have an unscripted, long format, real human moment with Joe Rogan.
00:01:56.020 And people recognized that and identified with that.
00:02:01.200 So now the question is, is Pierre finally ready to act like a real conservative or is it too little too late?
00:02:10.540 Because if he goes on Joe Rogan and actually says what people are thinking, this could actually make a difference for him and for the future of Canada.
00:02:19.840 But if it places safe again and all he's doing is pandering, which is a complaint a lot of the people who supported him have about him, then you already know how this story ends, right?
00:02:32.860 The media here in Canada is losing it over it because they know that Carney nor Justin Trudeau would have ever done anything like that.
00:02:41.900 They would have never sat with Joe Rogan and had a real two-hour conversation. 0.95
00:02:47.980 I mean, Joe Rogan would have probably ripped them a new one, but they don't have the courage to sit there and talk truth because they're fake as hell.
00:02:58.280 Anyways, let's see how the media is reacting to the breaking news of Pierre Polyev meeting with Joe Rogan and breaking the Internet.
00:03:07.680 Let's get into it.
00:03:08.400 So Pierre Polyev has taped an episode with Joe Rogan, which is, you know, kind of the top podcaster in the United States, known for, you know, maybe some controversial views on some issues.
00:03:20.140 He endorsed President Donald Trump in the last election, though he's kind of soured on him a little bit in recent weeks, especially in wake of the conflict in the Middle East and what's happened with Iran.
00:03:30.340 He was Joe Rogan being someone who was kind of an isolationist, if you will.
00:03:33.960 But, you know, Polyev has gone on.
00:03:35.600 They just taped the episode today, we're told.
00:03:38.080 It wrapped up about half an hour ago.
00:03:40.180 The episode's going to drop probably in the next day or two.
00:03:43.340 So this is a huge platform for Mr. Polyev.
00:03:45.500 It's arguably, you know, the most listened to podcast in the world.
00:03:49.940 just an amazingly large audience and essentially it's being spun to us as this is Pierre making
00:03:56.440 the case for Canada down south delivering on a show that has the biggest audience in the world
00:04:01.360 do you think that that's a smart move for Paulie I mean it's very bold for him to go on a podcast
00:04:05.020 like that that has been a source of controversy Cameron do you think it's smart politics
00:04:09.020 we'll have to hear what he actually said in that interview before determining whether it was smart
00:04:15.820 politics or not. The move itself, I'm going to hold my breath. I'm not going to say it's
00:04:20.340 necessarily bold or clever because there's a good chance that he's just talking to a lot of people,
00:04:28.080 if we think about Canadians who might be listening to that podcast, who are already supportive of him
00:04:33.400 or already on side. I think what he needs to do is figure out why he has not managed to connect
00:04:41.680 with a broad enough coalition of Canadians
00:04:44.280 who are outside of his traditional realm of support
00:04:47.180 and convince them that he's a viable leader for this country
00:04:50.260 at this moment of great chaos and disruption.
00:04:55.860 Tim, sorry, keep going.
00:04:57.760 Go ahead.
00:04:58.600 No, go ahead, Cameron, sorry.
00:04:59.780 Didn't mean to cut you off.
00:05:00.980 Well, I just, I'm totally,
00:05:02.960 I'm like all for speaking to bigger audiences
00:05:05.440 and non-traditional audiences
00:05:07.060 and people that you don't necessarily tend to speak to.
00:05:09.820 I think that's really smart
00:05:10.640 And all politicians have to, especially today, especially in the past few years, have to get outside of their bubbles.
00:05:15.700 I don't think that's likely what he's doing here.
00:05:18.760 And I think he has a much bigger question about his leadership and where the Conservative Party can go as Mark Carney coalesces the ever-growing coalition of people.
00:05:28.820 Yeah, Tim, I mean, there's a risk of being associated with someone like Rogan, who is a vaccine skeptic, you know, someone who endorsed Trump.
00:05:35.800 Ivermectin, yeah, worked great.
00:05:37.100 Right, you know, some controversial opinions on things.
00:05:39.520 so you know just doing the show means that in some way you are tied to him although of course
00:05:44.500 they have different views on things but it is a way to appeal to members of the conservative base
00:05:49.600 right who may be feeling a bit disaffected by looking at some of these polling numbers and
00:05:53.340 seeing that they're not riding as high as they once were right it's a way to get young men in
00:05:57.340 particular maybe dialed in and that's the principal audience for that podcast uh it's a way to kind of
00:06:02.440 show he's got some pep in his step hey like I landed an interview with the biggest podcaster
00:06:07.060 in the world. I mean, it's really a double-edged sword, potentially. Maybe that's the only answer
00:06:10.600 here. But what do you make of this? Well, and he's not the first Canadian leader of the current
00:06:14.580 group that used the U.S. platform to try and amplification a pact. I mean, the prime minister
00:06:19.100 before he became the prime minister went on Jon Stewart, and that apparently went very well for
00:06:23.400 him. Look, it's not without risk, as Cam is alluding to. I think it's a risk. He probably
00:06:31.120 a managed risk that his team feels he can take. I think it will be really important to see what
00:06:38.160 he says and how he says it. I think the danger for an opposition leader always when they visit
00:06:45.360 a foreign country, particularly the United States, and they appear on a U.S. platform at a time when
00:06:50.380 we are projecting an image of national unity when it relates to the biggest issues in the world,
00:06:55.580 whether it be how we deal with Trump or the Iran war, you know, is he pushed into a different
00:07:00.800 position that creates him some domestic difficulties? Is he Jameel Javanit? Now,
00:07:05.820 I think he's too smart to be Jameel Javanit, but that's something they'll have to manage.
00:07:10.260 Yeah, there'll be some criticism that he was there.
00:07:12.760 Of the federal conservatives, Pierre Polyev has taken to the United States his first as
00:07:16.260 official opposition leader. He has, and we can now confirm, appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast.
00:07:21.840 As soon as we are able to put up the picture in the tweet, we will.
00:07:25.080 He writes, fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world's biggest podcast.
00:07:29.920 Thank you, Joe Rogan, for an amazing, there it is, an amazing conversation.
00:07:33.560 Let's get tariff-free trade.
00:07:35.820 So I think it will be posted in the next few days.
00:07:38.020 We're not 100% sure when that goes to air.
00:07:41.000 Sebastian, your thoughts on, I mean, I remember during the campaign,
00:07:44.600 I think there was something about whether or not this would come to fruition.
00:07:48.820 It ultimately didn't.
00:07:50.080 There was some talk of whether that was on purpose or whatever.
00:07:52.840 What is the strategy here?
00:07:54.460 I mean, it seems obvious.
00:07:55.500 There's 15 million people who listen to this podcast, but tell me your thoughts on that.
00:07:59.640 Wow, incredible news.
00:08:01.100 I'm glad to hear that that happened.
00:08:02.900 I look forward to listening to Mr. Polyev push a common sense agenda, one of free trade
00:08:10.280 and a tariff free trade.
00:08:12.140 Not just, by the way, to an American audience where this podcast is very big, but I believe
00:08:17.220 It is probably the most listened to podcast also in Canada, so a great effort to reach those voters.
00:08:24.760 I think, look, this comes on the heels of a successful trip on the part of Mr. Polyev to the United States.
00:08:31.460 I know he's still delivering or set to deliver a keynote address in New York,
00:08:35.600 but we've seen him put forward and pitch a very coherent and competent plan in Detroit and in Texas,
00:08:44.720 a recently meeting actually with the governor of Texas.
00:08:47.560 So I think really showing a very statesman-like attitude,
00:08:52.100 showing Canadians that this is someone who can step into the role of prime minister on day one
00:08:56.180 and someone who is ready to champion Canada, champion our industry
00:09:00.820 and champion a successful trade partnership with her greatest ally. 0.93
00:09:06.120 Something Mr Carney has been significantly lacking.
00:09:08.600 I know that's the topic that you want to touch on here.
00:09:11.780 he has set for himself not one but two deadlines that have blown through to
00:09:16.900 reach a deal he has not reached that deal and seemingly we have at every stage
00:09:23.340 seen that there are setbacks in that trade relationship despite what he wants
00:09:27.180 to set up trade with other countries this is a critical relationship for us
00:09:31.240 and we need him for the sake of Canada and for the sake of our jobs for him to
00:09:36.300 show some progress on that
