Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ While Trudeau schemes, Trump takes action on illegal immigration

00:00:00.000 Oh, hi, everybody. We're down in Washington, D.C. You know why. It's the inauguration of Donald Trump, the 45th and now the 47th president of the United States.

00:00:09.760 We talk to so many people. We talk to people who love Donald Trump and we talk to people who hate Donald Trump and what their arguments are.

00:00:18.520 Boy, it was very interesting to hear both sides of that story.

00:00:21.340 And we had a sit down exclusive meeting with Alberta's premier, Danielle Smith, who has been here for weeks, really, on and off, lobbying for Canada, not just for Alberta, but against Donald Trump's plan to put tariffs on the Canadian economy.

00:00:36.780 She's been doing the job that Justin Trudeau won't. Anyway, big show today.

00:00:40.600 And it was great to be down here, even though it was so cold.

00:00:43.960 But before I get to that, let me invite you to get what we call Rebel News Plus.

00:00:58.760 And that's how we pay the bills, because we take no money from Trudeau and it shows.

00:01:04.200 By the way, today's show is a feast for the eyes. You just got to see both the Trump lovers and the Trump haters.

00:01:11.100 Yeah, you can just get the audio version, but I want you to see these folks in some of the wild signs and hats.

00:01:16.880 It's pretty fun.

00:01:18.920 All right. Before I get to the podcast, I just want to tell you one more thing.

00:01:23.140 You know, with COVID behind us, who knows what the globalists are planning next?

00:01:26.580 Maybe it's the expansion of the conflict in Europe or the release of another virus or the undermining of free and fair elections.

00:01:32.360 Whatever it is, you need to be prepared.

00:02:07.220 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:02:08.380 Tonight, Rebel News is in Washington, D.C. as Donald Trump storms back into the White House.

00:02:22.380 It's January 20th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:02:26.240 You're fighting for freedom!

00:02:29.100 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.88

00:02:32.240 Oh, hi, everybody. 0.87

00:02:41.920 It is a cold day in Washington, this cold as Justin Trudeau's heart.

00:02:47.320 Upon learning that Donald Trump is back in power and back in a big way, here's an excerpt from his inaugural address.

00:02:54.600 My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.

00:03:00.460 That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.

00:03:04.100 I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office,

00:03:10.040 the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.

00:03:14.520 Thank you.

00:03:35.860 Well, today wasn't just a day for words, it was a day for action.

00:03:40.460 Approximately 200 executive orders.

00:03:43.140 In other words, Trump and his transition team were not waiting for today to get cracking.

00:03:48.900 Many of the immediate orders had to do with immigration, sealing the U.S.-Mexico border,

00:03:55.480 deploying the military, declaring drug cartels as terrorist groups.

00:04:01.900 You know, that means any affiliation with them is a crime,

00:04:05.000 and it would allow the U.S. government to use different means to go after them.

00:04:09.380 I would hate to be part of those cartels.

00:04:11.880 Other decisions, including moving quickly on deportations.

00:04:17.200 It looks like Canada has been spared, at least for the moment, when it comes to tariffs.

00:04:22.960 But wow, has Canada ever been roiled by Trump's threats of tariffs?

00:04:27.300 It really has revealed the different nature of our politicians.

00:04:31.100 As you may have seen yesterday, I had a sit-down meeting with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

00:04:36.420 She jammed me in amongst a whole bunch of meetings she's had lobbying both business and political leaders in America

00:04:44.460 to stop the proposed tariffs on Canada.

00:04:48.400 I asked her in that interview if she had any allies.

00:04:51.460 I asked her if anyone else from the Canadian government was lobbying.

00:04:56.220 Here's her answer.

00:04:57.020 Who are your allies?

00:04:58.780 Do you have any allies amongst the premiers?

00:05:01.100 Do you have any allies?

00:05:02.620 You mentioned some American allies, but other people.

00:05:05.700 I mean, I hate this ganging up on Alberta. 1.00

00:05:08.380 It's the worst caricature of an anti-Alberta bigotry that I grew up with in Alberta.

00:05:14.580 And I had thought it had passed.

00:05:17.380 Do you have any friends in Canada on this issue?

00:05:19.560 Allies?

00:05:19.820 I would say that what I like about the cough table, Council of the Federation, is when we 0.92

00:05:24.920 come together as a group of premiers and we write a communique, we go through it line by

00:05:29.260 line to make sure everybody is comfortable with what's in it.

00:05:31.980 We make accommodations for each other because when we go out with a statement, we want to

00:05:35.220 make sure that everybody is in agreement on it.

00:05:37.460 That didn't happen with the first minister's meeting.

00:05:40.140 And I think that's probably a reflection of Justin Trudeau's style.

00:05:43.380 He didn't care that I wasn't in agreement and he didn't try to find language where we

00:05:47.320 would be in agreement.

00:05:47.920 I think we have a lot of common ground.

00:05:50.100 I think that when I'm out and talking about how we defend Canada, I can talk just as well

00:05:56.380 about the germanium, which is a critical mineral from British Columbia, and gallium, which is

00:06:00.900 a critical mineral from Quebec.

00:06:03.520 I can talk about nuclear in Saskatchewan, and I can talk about how we've got critical minerals

00:06:08.740 in our northern territories, how the agri-food industry is integrated, and we can talk about

00:06:14.820 all of the ways in which we can benefit.

00:06:16.940 I happen to lead with oil and gas because it is the most important export Canada has.

00:06:21.740 25% of our exports are oil and natural gas.

00:06:24.580 We also know that that is what the Americans are looking for now, for energy security and

00:06:28.780 energy dominance.

00:06:29.800 But I would say that by leading with the things the Americans care about, we'll be able to,

00:06:34.360 I think, reset the relationship for all of Canada.

00:06:36.440 So I promote my colleagues and friends and the economies of the other provinces as well.

00:06:42.700 But we simply will not allow Alberta to be singled out by an Ottawa-based tax that is generating

00:06:49.440 revenue to be distributed in the rest of the country.

00:06:51.780 That is...

00:06:52.440 So for whatever reason, Trump did not move on the terrace.

00:06:57.160 Maybe some of the credit goes to Danielle Smith.

00:06:59.600 It certainly doesn't go to Justin Trudeau or, bizarrely, to Chrystia Freeland, who announced

00:07:05.280 her leadership for the Liberals in a very dull event, I should say.

00:07:08.980 And she said that a reason Liberals should choose her is that Donald Trump hates her.

00:07:15.580 Did you see that?

00:07:16.820 I want to let you in on a little secret.

00:07:19.180 Donald Trump doesn't like me very much.

00:07:21.200 Canada.

00:07:22.140 We don't like their representative very much.

00:07:24.540 I'm a tough negotiator.

00:07:26.040 During the first Trump administration, I fought hard to protect Canadian jobs, the Canadian

00:07:31.120 economy, and our way of life.

00:07:33.140 And we won.

00:07:33.940 I left Trudeau's cabinet because I know what we need to do to win that fight again.

00:07:39.500 Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies think they can push us around.

00:07:43.780 Trump thinks we're for sale.

00:07:45.840 But he can take what isn't his.

00:07:47.880 We're not going to let him.

00:07:49.720 Saying that Donald Trump hates her is probably true.

00:07:53.180 And it probably appeals to the Liberal base that hates Trump in return.

00:07:57.740 I'm just not so sure if that's a selling point if you're actually trying to stop a trade war.

00:08:02.280 But then again, as I've argued several times, I don't think the Liberals want to stop a trade

00:08:07.500 war.

00:08:07.820 I think they want to demonize Trump as their preferred opponent, as opposed to Pierre Polyev.

00:08:14.100 The latest polls show Polyev at 46% compared to just 20% for the Liberals.

00:08:21.300 What's interesting to me also, and while I'm talking about Chrystia Freeland, is that her

00:08:26.220 event was stormed by the Liberal Hamas caucus and the Liberal Hamas street gangs.

00:08:33.440 Didn't happen to Mark Carney.

00:08:34.800 He's clearly the candidate of choice of the Islamist left.

00:08:39.520 Here's what happened at Chrystia Freeland's launch.

00:08:42.200 It was disrupted.

00:08:43.840 And the Liberals didn't like it for the first time.

00:08:46.140 They'd been fine with this sort of thing when it's been targeting Jews and synagogues. 0.74

00:08:50.940 But boy, she didn't like it when it was targeting her.

00:08:53.280 Did you see this?

00:08:54.000 How can we, as Buddhists, how can we do this?

00:09:23.980 We have voted Trump, and they won't kill us, too.

00:09:28.600 We're stealing the property!

00:09:30.900 We're stealing the property!

00:09:31.820 We're stealing the property!

00:09:42.120 Well, back to Washington.

00:09:44.380 Today was an interesting day.

00:09:45.840 I went to the big protest against Donald Trump, except it wasn't very big, and it was pretty

00:09:53.180 lame.

00:09:54.100 Certainly different from the massive street riots that roiled America in his first inaugural

00:10:00.460 in January 2017.

00:10:02.680 Massive riots then.

00:10:03.880 And then, of course, in the summer of 2020, the Black Lives Matter riots really ushered 0.95

00:10:09.660 in a dark era in America.

00:10:12.020 Well, I did not see that today.

00:10:13.840 Let me show you a little bit about what I did see at the coalition against Trump.

00:10:18.040 It was small.

00:10:19.000 It was pitiful. 1.00

00:10:20.060 And to be honest and not being mean here, it was pretty dumb. 1.00

00:10:24.740 Take a look. 0.99

00:10:25.580 Don't talk to me! 0.58

00:10:26.480 Why?

00:10:26.820 Why is everybody being so mean?

00:10:28.520 Hey, CBC.

00:10:29.340 How you doing?

00:10:30.000 Hey.

00:10:30.720 I'm Ezra Levant. 0.97

00:10:32.420 F***ing, what does that mean? 0.99

00:10:33.920 Don't be so rude. 1.00

00:10:35.260 Holy smokes.

00:10:36.600 You're supposed to know who you are?

00:10:38.260 Well, you asked me who I was.

00:10:39.720 I said, who do you work for?

00:10:40.660 We're Rebel News.

00:10:41.560 What does that mean?

00:10:42.760 What does that mean?

00:10:43.300 It's the name of the company.

00:10:44.640 Why are you guys so prickly?

00:10:47.160 Why are you so prickly?

00:10:49.800 Isn't today an exciting day for you?

00:10:54.420 I'd rather not be on camera.

00:10:56.720 Why are you going to a public protest then?

00:11:01.580 I think you guys have a bad attitude.

00:11:03.880 Yeah.

00:11:04.460 Okay.

00:11:05.760 Hey, Buzz.

00:11:06.380 How you doing today?

00:11:07.140 I'm all right.

00:11:07.940 Can you explain your sign to me?

00:11:09.300 What does it mean?

00:11:09.980 This is the sign for the Democratic Socialists of America.

00:11:13.100 And if you want to ask them about it, they are right over there.

00:11:15.700 Which ones?

00:11:16.640 Them guys right there with the roses.

00:11:18.660 Do you mind if I ask you one question about your answer?

00:11:22.880 Why are you telling me to ask them?

00:11:24.400 You're the one carrying the sign.

00:11:25.440 I just want to know what it means.

00:11:26.460 I appreciate that, but I'm familiar with Rebel Media.

00:11:28.980 You can definitely speak to them.

00:11:32.720 We have people who speak to the media.

00:11:35.420 I'm not one of them.

00:11:36.580 All right.

00:11:36.840 Well, I'm sort of disappointed that you won't even tell me what your sign means.

00:11:39.780 Well, I mean, it's pretty obvious.

00:11:42.060 Well, I was going to ask you a challenging question, which is, I think socialism and fascism

00:11:46.260 both have an element of authoritarianism to it.

00:11:49.380 Do you disagree?

00:11:50.260 I, uh, once again will direct you to the DSA to speak further.

00:11:55.420 I have, uh, no need to speak to the media.

00:11:57.580 I appreciate you.

00:11:59.220 What are you talking about?

00:12:01.040 That's very mean.

00:12:02.020 He's a very, you guys are mean.

00:12:04.220 Uh, yeah, uh, we, uh, we are intolerant of intolerance.

00:12:07.740 That is true.

00:12:08.600 Does that mean that you're intolerant too?

00:12:10.160 Uh, once again, I'll direct you over there.

00:12:13.000 You guys have a wonderful time.

00:12:15.040 Thank you.

00:12:16.400 I've never met such thin skinned people in my life.

00:12:18.920 It's really weird.

00:12:22.040 How you doing?

00:12:23.620 Who do you represent?

00:12:24.980 I'm Ezra.

00:12:25.960 Um, I represent the people.

00:12:28.420 And, and what's the symbol of the guillotine?

00:12:31.020 Um, well, it's a very powerful symbol.

00:12:32.680 Um, and I want to, um, just make it clear that, that, you know, we are the people, um,

00:12:39.120 and we are many and there are a few.

00:12:41.360 Um, we have all the power.

00:12:44.180 Um, you know, I, I want people to, to know that they can make themselves heard, um, make,

00:12:51.420 make their anger very clear.

00:12:53.280 Um, and, you know, no matter your, your, all these different groups to have their differences,

00:13:00.200 but now it's the time to join hands, um, and, and work, uh, to make this country a better

00:13:05.120 place.

00:13:05.740 That's a very positive message.

00:13:07.660 The guillotine though, the symbolism is very violent.

00:13:11.200 How do you square the two?

00:13:12.300 Um, it, you know, I, I have a certain optimism.

00:13:16.440 I'm not really calling for violence per se.

00:13:19.800 Um, I'm just, I want people to wake up to, to, um, the severity of the situation.

00:13:26.580 Um, the, you look a little bit scary though.

00:13:29.740 I want to be very candid.

00:13:30.720 Yeah, um, there, the thing is, um, the people in power, um, should be scared, um, and, and

00:13:39.140 treading lightly, uh, again, because we have this power together.

00:13:43.080 Would you say your concerns are more economic, social justice, foreign affairs?

00:13:47.980 Like what, what, what really gets you going?

00:13:50.120 Um, my personal reasons for doing this, um, you know, uh, I have, um, there are communities

00:13:58.140 that I deeply care for that, that are losing their rights.

00:14:00.420 Um, but, um, I will say, you know, the economic disparity in France, uh, in 1760 to 1790, when

00:14:08.320 they were bringing the real thing out, we're in a worse spot in this, uh, country today.

00:14:13.160 Um, but we have, you know, a few nice things.

00:14:15.180 We have iPhones, we have, um, just these little distractions that make us feel like everything's

00:14:20.420 okay.

00:14:20.880 Um, but people aren't waking up to the wealth and resources that are kept, uh, above our

00:14:26.700 heads, um, and are kept by those higher ups.

00:14:30.020 Things could be a lot more fair.

00:14:31.000 So maybe there's a false class consciousness.

00:14:34.260 People, uh, who are the proletariat think that they're maybe wealthy. 0.90

00:14:38.320 Because yes, um, they're, you know, you give the people pride in circuses, they won't

00:14:42.940 revolt.

00:14:43.780 Um, it's, it's, um, I, people should be more aware of, of the disparity.

00:14:50.400 It's, and it's, it's great and it's tragic.

00:14:53.660 Did you make it or did you get a friend to help?

00:14:55.740 It was a big rig.

00:14:56.800 I had, I had, um, I had a hand.

00:14:59.440 Um, does it actually work?

00:15:01.680 No, it doesn't.

00:15:02.700 Like that's not a sharp blade, but it looks like it could work.

00:15:05.300 It's, it's, it's foam, um, and there's no rails.

00:15:07.480 So it doesn't move.

00:15:08.500 Um, I, I, I want it to be clear that this is, this is, um, you know, it's just a piece

00:15:12.920 of art performance art really.

00:15:14.400 It sure is.

00:15:14.840 Yeah.

00:15:15.220 Um, and, um, are you an artist yourself or you had a friend maybe make this for you?

00:15:20.680 Um, I think I can now say that I'm an artist, um, you know, um, and, and I, I'm, I'm involved

00:15:26.920 in art for sure.

00:15:27.820 Um, you know, I'm from Canada actually.

00:15:30.840 And the only other person I've ever met who's done blackface is Justin Trudeau.

00:15:35.220 So this is just, um, around my eyes.

00:15:37.560 Um, this is, you know, I, I wanted to, um, I, I don't want to have any really identifying,

00:15:44.180 um, information about me out there.

00:15:46.100 Um, I want to, it's not so that, um, I can be anyone.

00:15:50.880 It's more so anybody can be me.

00:15:53.100 Oh, okay.

00:15:53.520 Um, I, I'm, this isn't about me.

00:15:55.840 Well, you're, you're, uh, you, you look a little bit scary.

00:15:59.600 That looks a little scary, but I found you quite gentle in our conversation.

00:16:02.660 And thanks for talking with me.

00:16:03.900 Absolutely.

00:16:04.520 Um, yeah.

00:16:04.980 Thank, thank you for the interview.

00:16:06.060 Right on.

00:16:06.440 Cheers.

00:16:08.880 Well, I didn't expect that to be so friendly.

00:16:11.320 In fact, I think he ended by saying bless you, which, uh, I did not expect. 0.69

00:16:14.940 Are you with the, um, the guillotine?

00:16:19.120 Mm-hmm.

00:16:19.900 And, uh, can I ask you what you mean?

00:16:22.640 It means we need to get together now.

00:16:24.420 We need to all join together in this revolution because if anything's going to change, we all

00:16:28.200 need to get together.

00:16:29.680 Can I ask you what kind of things you'd like to change?

00:16:33.240 Mostly the wealth disparity.

00:16:35.560 I would say the top 1% have everything.

00:16:37.660 BlackRock and Vanguard own everything.

00:16:39.240 The people have nothing and we need to take back what's ours. 1.00

00:16:41.740 We made it and we need to take it back.

00:16:43.360 I criticize BlackRock and Vanguard too.

00:16:46.740 What are your, uh, criticisms of them?

00:16:50.140 That all these major companies you can think of, they own them.

00:16:54.020 They own everything.

00:16:55.060 They own our houses. 0.55

00:16:55.880 They're the same people that sell you your cars.

00:16:57.440 They're the same people that sell you your insurance.

00:16:59.300 Are the same people that sell you your medicine.

00:17:01.500 Are the same people that sell you your houses.

00:17:03.100 Are the same people that sell you your food.

00:17:04.800 Are the same people that sell you your water.

00:17:06.560 They have everything and we have nothing, but it's ours.

00:17:09.640 We need to take it back.

00:17:11.400 Thanks for talking with me.

00:17:12.380 Can I ask you one last question?

00:17:13.800 Because you mentioned drugs and I'm guessing you have some views on health.

00:17:18.100 I think it's a radical thing that Donald Trump appointed RFK Jr. to cabinet.

00:17:23.920 Because I don't know if you follow RFK Jr.

00:17:25.900 He's been very skeptical of big pharma.

00:17:29.760 Very skeptical of, uh, you know, industrial food.

00:17:33.860 And, uh, I think he's a man of the left.

00:17:37.080 Maybe not the far left, but he is radical in his own way.

00:17:40.420 What do you think about the fact that he is Trump's nominee for health and human services?

00:17:45.720 I'd say it surprises me.

00:17:47.400 It's upset a lot of people.

00:17:48.780 It's made a lot of people happy.

00:17:50.600 I don't have any, um, strict opinions on RFK Jr.

00:17:54.000 Okay, fair enough.

00:17:55.820 I, can I talk to you too a little bit?

00:17:57.380 Are you, are you with the team here?

00:17:58.400 Sure.

00:17:59.420 Um, I, I see you, you're wearing the colors of the rainbow. 0.78

00:18:02.480 Are you, are you a gay activist?

00:18:04.420 I mean, I'm queer.

00:18:05.900 So, like, I'm here for the gay rights.

00:18:08.380 Can I ask you a question about that also?

00:18:11.220 Because I was looking at some of the appointments that Donald Trump has made.

00:18:14.460 His treasury secretary, uh, Rick Grinnell, Tulsa Gabbards, um, some of his spokesmen.

00:18:20.840 I, I, and there's a lot of LGB, uh, appointments, even at the cabinet level.

00:18:29.000 Trump hasn't talked about them as gay appointments. 0.98

00:18:31.760 They just happen to be gay.

00:18:33.400 Like, like, he has a press release about them, but he never mentions their sexuality.

00:18:39.100 And I think that's a very interesting approach, which is sort of, these are regular folks.

00:18:43.900 I'm not even going to talk about their sexuality.

00:18:46.400 They're just the best treasury secretary. 0.54

00:18:48.600 Sorry, Tulsi's not gay.

00:18:49.560 Sorry, I misspoke there.

00:18:50.820 Um, Rick Grinnell, treasury secretary.

00:18:53.620 I, I think I erroneously said Tulsi.

00:18:55.680 Uh, so what do you make of that? 0.97

00:18:57.020 I mean, there's a lot of gay appointees.

00:18:59.020 It's just that they're not sort of radical activists.

00:19:01.500 I mean, as far as, like, one sexuality goes, I, like, don't think it is vital information

00:19:08.880 that, um, in the political world for you to disclose that information.

00:19:14.720 Um, so personally to me, it doesn't matter whether or not, like, you appoint someone, um,

00:19:21.920 who's queer or trans, um, and choose whether, or, well, the person that you appoint, they

00:19:29.060 choose whether or not they want that information disclosed.

00:19:32.020 Doesn't really matter.

00:19:33.200 Doesn't change my viewpoint of the people.

00:19:36.980 Um, to me, what's most important is the actual, um, actions that people choose to take.

00:19:43.720 Are you surprised that Trump has, uh, appointed so many, uh, gay people to high office?

00:19:50.600 Honestly, I'm not.

00:19:52.280 Um, I personally believe that, um, a lot of what goes on in the government is for show.

00:20:01.780 So, okay.

00:20:03.520 But he hasn't emphasized that.

00:20:05.640 Like, you would think it was for show. 0.97

00:20:07.180 He would be really talking about, look at all the gay people I appointed.

00:20:09.920 So he hasn't actually done the show part.

00:20:12.480 He's done the appointment part, but not the show part.

00:20:15.320 I'm saying that, like, if people are taking it to an extra level and they're trying to

00:20:22.620 make a point of like, oh, well, he chose to not disclose the information or they chose

00:20:28.060 to not or to disclose that information.

00:20:30.600 I don't think that that's important, um, to talk about.

00:20:34.700 I think what's important to talk about is what people actually decide to do while they're

00:20:39.160 in office.

00:20:39.920 Hey, what do you make of this?

00:20:40.960 I mean, everyone here, I mean, that fella, you and your friend are pretty gentle.

00:20:45.740 This is a pretty violent symbol. 0.94

00:20:47.320 I mean, the whole point of a guillotine is to cut off someone's head, most likely with 0.93

00:20:51.440 just a show trial. 0.76

00:20:52.400 So you seem like a very gentle person.

00:20:55.380 What are you doing standing next to a replica of a killing machine?

00:20:59.080 I mean, a lot of us also have a lot of righteous anger.

00:21:02.280 I feel like.

00:21:02.900 What are you angry about?

00:21:03.740 You, you're in the wealthiest, freest country in the world.

00:21:07.500 You're in a beautiful day.

00:21:08.740 You're surrounded with friends.

00:21:10.060 What on earth are you angry about?

00:21:12.820 You say the wealthiest country?

00:21:15.320 We are in.

00:21:16.500 Even the poor people in this country would be considered rich in most countries in the

00:21:20.140 world.

00:21:20.400 You are the luckiest generation in history, in the history of the world, in the history

00:21:27.920 of our species.

00:21:28.980 You are the luckiest.

00:21:30.900 Why are you angry?

00:21:31.600 I'm angry because all of our wealth goes up to the top 1%.

00:21:39.960 The wealth that you talk about is all controlled.

00:21:43.920 Even poor people in America are wealthier than rich people in most parts of Africa.

00:21:48.860 I mean, if you're talking about the poor people that have to spend, like, all of their time

00:21:57.900 working and have absolutely no free time whatsoever, and they are wealthier than the people in Africa, 0.55

00:22:03.300 I'm not saying that they aren't in that sense, but I am also saying that, like, we are a slave

00:22:10.940 two-hour jobs, and, like, even as someone who, like, works multiple jobs to make rents and meet, I have

00:22:22.820 basically no free time, and I think wealth is more than just money.

00:22:27.500 I think wealth is also being able to have free time to actually explore the world and actually do things

00:22:35.780 with the world.

00:22:37.020 You know, I, uh, I gotta tell you, sister, I'm a little bit older than you, and if, uh, being very angry

00:22:43.860 about not having enough free time is the worst problem you got, you live a blessed life.

00:22:48.980 It's been a pleasure talking with you, and I hope your problems never get any worse than just

00:22:53.340 not having enough free time.

00:22:56.920 Nice to talk with you.

00:23:00.200 To have enough free time, and really, what free time I have, I just find myself wasting it on my

00:23:05.680 phone. In a way, Joe Biden did everyone a favor by taking away TikTok. I'm not so sure if Donald

00:23:12.040 Trump giving it back is the right thing. I, uh, it is sort of amazing that the number one grievance

00:23:18.620 she has in life is not enough free time. I'm not sure if the guillotine is the solution to that, but

00:23:23.320 what do I know?

00:23:25.680 How are you, brother?

00:23:30.620 Yeah, maybe.

00:23:31.380 I want to say hi to, yeah, I want to say hi to Justine also.

00:23:38.240 Can I, can I look at your sign a little bit?

00:23:42.260 Luigi says,

00:23:44.120 de-institutionalized violence, hands off the people, free Luigi, and all political prisoners,

00:23:50.740 free me.

00:23:51.880 But, I mean, he shot a guy, how is that a political prisoner?

00:23:55.580 I, I wonder if she's ever thought of that before.

00:24:02.640 Can I ask you a question about Lebanon?

00:24:05.460 Well, I'm just holding the flag, actually.

00:24:07.440 Oh, you know.

00:24:08.060 You don't know anything about it, you know.

00:24:09.840 There's 30,000 people killed.

00:24:12.080 Yeah, I want to, I want to talk about peace in Lebanon, but you, is there someone else you

00:24:15.420 point me to? Or are you just holding the flag?

00:24:17.100 There is a, I mean, there was a ceasefire held, but Israel violated the ceasefire and

00:24:23.020 it continued to bomb Lebanon after it was made. 0.57

00:24:25.860 One of the things that Trump gets some credit for is the, what was called the Abraham Accords.

00:24:30.840 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:24:32.320 The Abraham Accords. 0.81

00:24:34.300 When, when he was president in his first term, he got a peace deal between Israel and the

00:24:38.840 United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and Sudan.

00:24:40.840 Did you hear about that?

00:24:41.600 No, but I heard about the United Arab Emirates and how they're, um, they're, well, they're

00:24:51.840 funding this war and, uh, or they're fighting in Sudan and there are military.

00:24:56.880 Do you mean Yemen or do you mean Sudan?

00:24:59.800 Well, I guess what I want to ask is I'm, I'm hopeful that maybe they would have Abraham

00:25:03.620 Accords round two with Lebanon and then maybe Lebanon could be part of a broader regional

00:25:09.180 peace.

00:25:09.640 Do you think that's possible?

00:25:11.600 I, I'm not informed enough to speak on that.

00:25:16.100 Can I ask why you're carrying the flag in the protest then?

00:25:19.460 Well, because the war with, um, the war, because, okay, if you want to know Hezbollah and Israel 0.95

00:25:29.120 were in a conflict, we want to talk about the whole history.

00:25:32.580 Maxwell?

00:25:33.180 Yes, Carrington.

00:25:34.280 We got a march to attend.

00:25:35.260 Okay, we have a march.

00:25:36.140 We don't have time for that.

00:25:36.660 All right, well, good luck and hopefully peace will come.

00:25:39.240 Yes, dude, peace.

00:25:40.740 Ceasefire now.

00:25:41.600 Okay, I think they, they did get that part.

00:25:44.640 Well, I'm standing amongst, uh, some pro Trump folks who were not able to get into the Capital

00:25:51.760 One, uh, Coliseum where Trump was having some of his presentation because it's quite cold

00:25:58.640 here.

00:25:59.240 What was going to be an outside, uh, presentation was moved inside.

00:26:04.020 Many people, and I would be one of them, also think there was likely a security issue.

00:26:09.060 It is indeed cold outside, quite cold, but I think that, uh, security concerns are at

00:26:14.280 a fever pitch.

00:26:15.660 And we're in a new era of drone warfare.

00:26:19.080 I just don't know if the, if that was a feature of things, but I don't know if you saw the news

00:26:24.500 from Iran.

00:26:26.120 Two or three senior regime judges were just assassinated.

00:26:32.140 Did you see those headlines?

00:26:33.160 The reason I mentioned that is you never know if Iran would try and get vengeance on Israel. 0.56

00:26:39.200 Trump is going to move very quickly.

00:26:41.200 And his choice of a cabinet shows he's not messing around this time.

00:26:45.140 He's had a long time to think about the errors of his first term, and I think many of them

00:26:50.260 have to do with personnel.

00:26:52.040 He hired people in his sanctum sanctorum, in his inner circle, who were actively working

00:26:58.120 against him.

00:26:59.280 I should mention that, uh, Joe Biden in his final two days as president, in fact, in one

00:27:06.920 case, just minutes before the handover today, Biden pardoned anyone who had, uh,

00:27:15.140 undone Trump from Anthony Fauci to general Mark Milley to today, pardoning his entire family,

00:27:23.000 Joe Biden's brother and extended family, the entire Biden crime family got a Biden pardon

00:27:31.800 today.

00:27:32.920 And, uh, it's very interesting because Trump, I think is proceeding on a different tack.

00:27:37.960 I think that you're going to see more action from this presidency, perhaps since any president

00:27:43.780 since Reagan, uh, even more than Reagan, I'd say I'd have to go back to the second world

00:27:48.060 war to see a president, uh, uh, presidential administration.

00:27:51.740 That's more action oriented than this one.

00:27:54.960 Donald Trump is in his late seventies.

00:27:58.300 This is his last term.

00:28:00.180 He has a lot of work to do.

00:28:01.740 Some of it grandiose.

00:28:03.700 He's thinking now of his legacy, keeping promises.

00:28:06.940 Yes, but also doing things that presidents haven't thought of in a long time.

00:28:11.720 I think he was joking about turning Canada into the 51st state, but I don't think he's

00:28:17.080 joking about retaking the Panama Canal.

00:28:19.940 And I don't think he's joking about turning Greenland into a U.S.

00:28:24.240 protectorate either.

00:28:25.560 You're going to see an amazing Trump presidency.

00:28:28.520 Some people will love it.

00:28:29.600 Some people will hate it, but everyone will be riveted by it.

00:28:32.600 So the question that I'm asking is what will the changes be for Canada?

00:28:38.420 We've been talking a lot about the trade war and the tariffs, but will the cultural change

00:28:43.320 that Trump is bringing to America spill over to us too?

00:28:46.180 Let me give you an example.

00:28:47.620 One of Trump's many orders today was to immediately stop the shenanigans about 53 genders.

00:28:54.700 According to the executive orders Trump issued today, there will only be male and female

00:29:00.080 in the U.S. government from now on.

00:29:03.200 There were other steps taking against trans extremism.

00:29:08.440 Will that reverberate in our country too?

00:29:12.240 Things have gone totally crazy in Canada on the trans agenda.

00:29:16.460 I think it's going to have an effect on Canada.

00:29:18.840 Let me give you one small example.

00:29:20.980 Canadian sports teams sometimes go to the U.S. for tournaments.

00:29:24.940 Well, if there is a trans player, if there is a biological male playing on a women's sports 0.80

00:29:31.120 team, that will not work in a tournament in the United States.

00:29:35.520 So that's a tiny way that already Trump's agenda will affect us and can.

00:29:40.600 Of course, the economics are a big deal too.

00:29:43.680 Trump has promised an agency called DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, which will

00:29:48.500 be led by Elon Musk.

00:29:50.740 If the United States really does dismantle a significant amount of its regulatory burden,

00:29:57.120 it will put pressure on Canada to do the same.

00:30:00.680 Right now, Canada's headed in the opposite direction.

00:30:03.280 I remind you that on April 1st, barely two months from now, Canada's carbon tax will actually

00:30:09.800 go up.

00:30:11.280 How on earth can ordinary Canadian businesses, let alone ordinary Canadian residents, compete

00:30:18.040 with the United States that will be cutting taxes, cutting the size of government, and

00:30:22.600 unleashing economic opportunity.

00:30:24.740 It really will cause a brain drain from Canada and a capital drain if Canada doesn't change

00:30:31.960 course.

00:30:33.020 What's also interesting to me is who the liberals are putting up.

00:30:35.740 We talked about Chris Jafiel and the other leading choice, of course, being Mark Carney.

00:30:40.400 Both of them World Economic Forum directors.

00:30:43.680 What a stark contrast with Donald Trump, who's the anti-globalist.

00:30:48.900 By the way, my teammates, Sheila Gunn-Reed and Avi Amini, are in Davos today, their first

00:30:54.420 day on the ground reporting.

00:30:56.060 I will be making my way there tomorrow to join them.

00:31:01.180 Interestingly, Donald Trump will be giving a speech at the World Economic Forum this year

00:31:05.920 by video link.

00:31:07.240 He won't be flying to Davos.

00:31:08.820 I expect it'll be similar to his last speech there, which is to trumpet American values

00:31:14.400 and basically say to the world's investors, if you're serious about prosperity, come to

00:31:20.620 America, invest in America.

00:31:22.540 One last point about that.

00:31:24.400 Mark Carney is the champion, not just of carbon taxes, but of what's called ESG, Environmental,

00:31:32.600 Social, and Governance.

00:31:33.560 Governance, that's basically the corporate version of DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

00:31:40.820 His whole career, including when he was at the Bank of England, was about promoting carbon

00:31:46.640 taxes and turning corporations into socialist errand boys.

00:31:52.140 But in recent weeks and months, that has fallen out of favor, largely because Trump's back.

00:31:58.460 And so you see major banks from around the world, including major Canadian banks, abandoning the green

00:32:06.840 projects that Mark Carney had worked on ensnaring them.

00:32:10.980 So as the world pendulum swings back towards freedom and prosperity, as the pragmatists in the world,

00:32:19.460 like Mark Zuckerberg, suck up to Trump by rediscovering a belief in freedom of speech,

00:32:25.920 those same pressures will be doubly so in Canada.

00:32:29.900 If you're the leader of a high-tech company, if you're the leader of a prosperous company in Canada,

00:32:37.080 and you see America getting more and more free and more and more friendly to business,

00:32:42.920 while Canada continues to raise taxes and go down the woke path,

00:32:47.720 you're going to be faced with a choice pretty soon to move or to perish.

00:32:51.460 I think, for example, of the enormously successful high-tech company called Shopify,

00:32:57.400 which is basically the sales page of tens of thousands of businesses around the world.

00:33:03.420 They use Shopify for their website stores or online stores.

00:33:08.480 The leaders of Shopify have been outspoken in defense of freedom and smaller taxes.

00:33:14.380 It'll be fascinating to see if they can hold on and make a go of it in Canada,

00:33:18.080 or if they will do what so many Canadian companies do is, and just move to the States.

00:33:24.720 I've enjoyed my visit here in Washington.

00:33:27.120 I was delighted to have the honor of interviewing Danielle Smith,

00:33:30.200 who I think has become a real leader on a national stage.

00:33:33.940 I think she did what was in the interest of all Canadians, not just Albertans.

00:33:39.580 Canada is out of the woods for now on tariffs, but I don't know if that'll be the case for long.

00:33:52.500 Anyways, that's my report from here on the chilly streets of Washington, D.C.

00:33:57.720 I've been invited to an inaugural dinner tonight with two different companies co-sponsoring it.

00:34:05.300 But one of them is rumble.com.

00:34:07.800 You may know them as the free speech alternative to YouTube,

00:34:12.140 and that's our favorite place to publish videos at Rebel News.

00:34:15.640 So I was delighted to receive an invitation from Rumble to attend their event,

00:34:19.940 and it's co-sponsored, incredibly, by Trump's Truth Social platform.

00:34:26.220 So who knows if we'll have a visit by Donald Trump Jr., or maybe President Trump himself.

00:34:32.420 I don't know.

00:34:32.800 There's a lot of these inaugural events.

00:34:34.620 I thought it would be worth my time to go in case there was, I don't know.

00:34:38.700 I really don't know what to expect.

00:34:39.740 I've never been to an inaugural ball before.

00:34:42.840 And even just to meet the leaders of these free speech-oriented social media platforms,

00:34:48.680 I think it's going to be amazing.

00:34:50.880 Then, right on the plane for me to join my colleagues in Davos,

00:34:54.640 there's so much going on with Rebel News right now.

00:34:57.200 Alexa Lavoie in Quebec covering Trudeau's final MP caucus retreat.

00:35:04.800 David Menzies, of course, doing amazing work in Ontario.

00:35:08.080 We've been covering the Trump inauguration in D.C.

00:35:10.760 and Sheila and Avi at the World Economic Forum.

00:35:13.660 That's Rebel News for you.

00:35:14.660 And the reason we go to these places is not just that they're interesting,

00:35:18.280 but they affect our life at home back in Canada.

00:35:22.100 What happened here today in Washington will have a profound effect on us back home.

00:35:27.160 And that makes it even more shocking that Justin Trudeau, Dominique LeBlanc, Melanie Jolie,

00:35:33.320 the entire federal government, and 9 out of 10 premiers refused to come here in some sort of petty boycott.

00:35:43.020 The fact that Justin Trudeau is putting his own vendetta and feud above the national interest

00:35:48.900 is just reason 101 why he's got to go.

00:35:53.720 Last point, it was when I was down here that I learned that the Federal Court of Canada

00:35:58.980 has agreed with our friends at the Justice Center to have an expedited hearing

00:36:03.360 on their challenge to the legality of the invocation of prorogation.

00:36:09.120 Let me speak in plain English now.

00:36:11.120 Remember when Justin Trudeau had the Governor General suspend Parliament to buy him more time

00:36:16.860 because he was going to lose a no-confidence vote?

00:36:19.260 Well, the Justice Center is challenging that prorogation in Parliament.

00:36:23.720 Now, I didn't think that was, I thought that was such a long shot it had no chance.

00:36:27.980 But then John Carpe reminded me, actually I didn't know, that in the UK that prorogation was challenged and defeated.

00:36:37.400 Here's a quick clip of my conversation about that with John Carpe from a week ago.

00:36:42.120 Got a very strong precedent from 2019 when in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson prorogued Parliament for five weeks,

00:36:51.040 not nearly as long as the 11 weeks that Justin Trudeau is proroguing Parliament in Canada or trying to.

00:37:00.840 Boris Johnson prorogued Parliament for five weeks, which was longer than the usual one to three weeks.

00:37:05.580 And the highest court in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom Supreme Court, ruled that it was a violation of the constitutional principle of the sovereignty of Parliament.

00:37:17.980 Johnson had a minority government.

00:37:20.200 He wanted to get the United Kingdom out of the European Union quicker.

00:37:27.080 It was dragging on.

00:37:28.000 It had been three years since the referendum and the court ruled that his prorogation of Parliament was illegal because it sought to shield the government from scrutiny by Parliament.

00:37:42.140 And we have the same constitution fundamentally in Canada where the government is or should be accountable to Parliament.

00:37:50.900 The government needs to enjoy the support of the majority of MPs.

00:37:56.120 And so what we've got Justin Trudeau doing is analogous to what Boris Johnson did in 2019.

00:38:02.520 Incredibly, the Justice Centre won the first preliminary battle and there will be a hearing in February as to the legality of that prorogation.

00:38:12.260 Wouldn't it be amazing if the Justice Centre managed to get Parliament to reconvene?

00:38:18.200 That would be amazing.

00:38:19.220 A lot of things would happen there.

00:38:21.960 Well, my friends, I'm going to sign off now and I'm going to show you a few more videos from our time here.

00:38:27.840 Some are short, some are long.

00:38:29.520 All of it was interesting and all of it should be of interest to Canadians.

00:38:33.500 Because for better or for worse, we live right next door to the world's most powerful country.

00:38:38.660 I think it's 90% for the better.

00:38:41.200 And I think it's in our entire national interest that we find a government that can work constructively with our U.S. neighbors, not to be so bloody petty about it like Trudeau and others are.

00:38:53.000 From the streets of Washington, D.C. to you at home, on behalf of Rebel News, good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:39:01.340 So you think it's a little bit of bluster, a little bit of a salesmanship?

00:39:06.400 I wouldn't call it bluster.

00:39:07.200 I would call it negotiation skills.

00:39:09.200 And I think that's how he made his money.

00:39:11.540 That's how he knows how to do business.

00:39:13.020 And I think that's what he's doing.

00:39:14.440 I'm not going to second guess him.

00:39:15.860 But I wouldn't say that he's ready to put a tariff on tomorrow as soon as he takes office.

00:39:21.080 Now, I've heard that that tariff is coming.

00:39:22.860 I've heard that Trudeau's response to Trump's demand was not sufficient to stop the tariff.

00:39:29.060 What do you think of that?

00:39:30.300 Well, I think it's good that he thinks that.

00:39:32.860 And he'll probably be more open to making a good deal.

00:39:35.400 And how about Quebec?

00:39:36.440 Because, of course, they've got French-English bilingualism.

00:39:38.940 How would that go over?

00:39:39.780 I mean, maybe Louisiana would like that. 0.76

00:39:41.360 And maybe in Springfield, where there's a lot of Haitian folks.

00:39:45.860 But Quebec could just do what they want.

00:39:48.160 I don't know if anybody likes Quebec to begin with.

00:39:50.040 Sorry, Quebecers. 1.00

00:39:51.320 But they can vote on it.

00:39:54.140 Wait till you're the 51st state.

00:39:56.580 Or maybe you'll be the 11th province.

00:39:58.880 Maybe, maybe.

00:39:59.900 But we'll have guns down here. 0.79

00:40:01.840 Tell old blackface Justin Trudeau to take a hike. 1.00

00:40:06.020 Cheers. 0.58

00:40:06.620 See you, buddy.

00:40:07.160 I have a theory that Trump looks at Justin Trudeau and he gets mad.

00:40:12.900 And he takes it out on Canada.

00:40:14.600 I mean, I look at Emmanuel Macron and I get, I actually like France, but I can't stand Emmanuel Macron.

00:40:19.320 Do you think Trump's just reacting to his personal feelings about Trudeau?

00:40:23.320 That, I don't know.

00:40:24.560 Point.

00:40:24.880 I don't understand why it would be done to your best friend.

00:40:29.020 Well, I'm not sure the Canadians are of us.

00:40:30.660 Well, who is?

00:40:31.220 Tell me, who's friendlier?

00:40:32.860 Who's friendlier?

00:40:33.640 If they were our best friend, if they wouldn't be ripping us off and we wouldn't have a...

00:40:36.340 Where's the ripoff?

00:40:36.940 $10 billion in dollars.

00:40:37.380 But how's it a ripoff to sell...

00:40:39.120 They're our best friend.

00:40:40.040 How's it a ripoff?

00:40:41.660 How's it a ripoff to sell you our oil?

00:40:44.380 Well, it's a ripoff because we have a $10 billion trade deficit.

00:40:46.960 Okay, but if you wanted to buy oil from someone else, you would.

00:40:49.700 We could also get it from ourselves.

00:40:51.120 I mean, that's the whole point.

00:40:51.940 We would love to get it from ourselves.

00:40:53.060 I don't want it from the Saudis. 1.00

00:40:54.120 I don't want it from the Canadians. 1.00

00:40:55.040 I want it from us.

00:40:56.300 All right.

00:40:56.660 Well, good luck to us all.

00:40:57.760 Hopefully, we can avoid this trade war between our two countries.

00:41:01.220 Yes, and good luck to you.

00:41:02.280 Hope you get to stay on the air a little longer.

00:41:04.460 Maybe up when Pierre Pelliev, however his name is pronounced, takes office.

00:41:08.760 Sounds like you're following Canada.

00:41:10.560 I don't think most...

00:41:11.880 Hey, I got to keep tabs on the 51st state.

00:41:14.140 We're going to be neighbors soon.

00:41:15.160 Well, let me ask you this.

00:41:15.960 I take it by the fact you're at a Trump rally that you're Republican.

00:41:19.420 Have you ever considered that if Canada were to join the U.S.,

00:41:22.960 it would be in the Electoral College like another California?

00:41:26.900 It would be the biggest state with the most number of representatives in the House

00:41:30.460 and the most electors in the Electoral College.

00:41:32.780 And most of them would be Democrats.

00:41:34.580 Oh, well, if you follow everyone other than Nebraska and Maine,

00:41:38.000 you wouldn't split your electoral votes either,

00:41:39.540 and we'd never have another Republican president again.

00:41:41.540 So, yeah, I don't necessarily...

00:41:43.320 No offense.

00:41:43.720 I think you guys are fine being on your own.

00:41:46.120 And, yeah, no problem.

00:41:49.240 On oil.

00:41:50.820 Like, doesn't that just go straight to what you're talking about,

00:41:54.400 inflation at the gas pump?

00:41:55.920 Like, if we're...

00:41:56.480 I'd have to check.

00:41:57.420 I think it's like 4 million barrels a day we sell to you.

00:42:00.280 Why would you put tariff on your own oil?

00:42:03.040 Well, we need to get drilling at home open back up.

00:42:05.560 I'm from Oklahoma.

00:42:06.660 Well, that's an oil state.

00:42:07.840 We're a big oil state.

00:42:08.840 And, you know, we've got a lot of people out of work

00:42:10.640 because we can't get those jobs

00:42:12.360 because they're restricting us on where we can drill and what we can drill.

00:42:14.840 But so Canada's restricting you.

00:42:16.520 It's your environmental rules.

00:42:17.580 Right, absolutely.

00:42:18.340 And we need to get those fixed as well.

00:42:20.220 It's not funny anymore.

00:42:21.720 I mean, it really isn't.

00:42:23.000 And the safety of this continent is what's critical.

00:42:26.940 Because, you know, if Iran, right, 0.96

00:42:30.300 decides to get their nuclear in just a minute

00:42:34.040 and we get bombed,

00:42:36.400 who's going to be defending Canada?

00:42:39.100 Last question.

00:42:39.540 The United States of America.

00:42:41.240 Isn't it better for us to sell it to America

00:42:42.940 because we're good friends?

00:42:43.940 Sure, sure.

00:42:44.940 I don't think you ought to sell it at all.

00:42:47.220 Well, what are we going to do for a living?

00:42:49.720 What are you going to do for a living?

00:42:51.120 Yeah.

00:42:51.520 Same things you've been doing.

00:42:53.200 Well, we make a lot of oil and gas.

00:42:55.640 Well.

00:42:56.300 I would love to sell our oil.

00:42:58.480 Saudi Arabia.

00:42:59.700 Sell it to China. 0.99

00:43:00.720 Sell it to somebody else.

00:43:01.300 I don't think that's a good idea for Canada to sell our oil to China.

00:43:04.640 I don't want to support them.

00:43:05.360 I would much rather sell our oil to America

00:43:07.700 because you're our best friends.

00:43:10.020 But we can only take so much.

00:43:12.060 Well, you're importing a lot of oil.

00:43:15.260 Yeah, he's going to do that.

00:43:17.480 Anyhow, I just hope that it's a bit of salesmanship banter.

00:43:22.300 I hope it's not a real thing.

00:43:23.640 I'm sure it is.

00:43:25.300 All right.

00:43:26.840 You're not going to own Canada.

00:43:28.140 I think you can chill out.

00:43:29.020 As I say, I say.

00:43:31.900 Well, he's talking about that.

00:43:33.000 He's talking about the 51st state, isn't he?

00:43:35.700 That in Greenland.

00:43:37.520 Well, now that's something we can all agree on.

00:43:39.900 It's just a negotiating tool.

00:43:42.180 Again, nobody else will say that in politics.

00:43:44.600 He'll jump out ahead.

00:43:46.020 And you'll come back and negotiate.

00:43:47.100 You guys are friends.

00:43:47.860 We love Canada.

00:43:49.400 Well, I hope that's how it goes.

00:43:51.240 I think that Trump, I think when he sees a picture of Trudeau,

00:43:55.040 he gets his hackles up, like a lot of Canadians do. 0.90

00:43:57.620 Yeah.

00:43:58.120 No, it's just a tactic, guys.

00:44:00.060 It's a tactic.

00:44:00.900 We're all going to get everything working fine together,

00:44:03.400 you know, and keep up the trade and keep up the back and forth.

00:44:07.580 I hope you're right.

00:44:08.260 What do you think they're going to name?

00:44:09.880 The 51st state, what do you think the new name is going to be?

00:44:12.500 Is it going to be Canada?

00:44:13.520 Is it going to be Ottawa?

00:44:15.080 Let me scare you for a second.

00:44:17.040 And what if the name of it was California Junior?

00:44:20.300 I already heard that one.

00:44:21.440 Well, I mean, my point being, get ready for an electoral college

00:44:24.620 that might not go the way you want.

00:44:26.140 That's pretty far left up there.

00:44:27.660 Jim.

00:44:28.380 I think that the two countries can be independent,

00:44:31.620 but friends, lots of good trade, military allies.

00:44:35.720 What do you think of that?

00:44:36.820 We're already doing that.

00:44:38.000 Well, but here comes 25% tariffs.

00:44:40.260 Isn't that his threat?

00:44:41.860 That's just ammunition for him to negotiate, basically.

00:44:48.560 Same thing with the Gulf of America, Greenland, all that.

00:44:52.300 I like that Gulf of America.

00:44:53.660 I got a real chuckle out of that.

00:44:55.400 Yeah.

00:44:56.860 I agree.

00:44:57.720 It's got a ring.

00:44:58.460 It's got a ring.

00:44:59.260 You know, but Panama, that's serious. 0.94

00:45:01.000 I mean, that was Americans built that.

00:45:02.980 Americans died for that. 1.00

00:45:04.000 Jimmy Carter just gave that away.

00:45:05.420 I was controlled by China. 0.93

00:45:06.500 I think that that is a more serious project than the 51st State.

00:45:13.880 To, like, of all the things to do, to slap a tariff on oil

00:45:17.240 that you buy for your own refineries, that just seems so counterproductive.

00:45:21.820 Like, it's not like you're stopping, like, trinkets and junk.

00:45:25.860 Like, oil.

00:45:26.960 It's what you make gasoline from.

00:45:28.800 These times take extreme measures.

00:45:31.840 All right.

00:45:32.360 Well, listen, good luck at the pump, ladies. 1.00

00:45:34.120 I own a bicycle.

00:45:37.040 In fact, I own two.

00:45:38.100 Well, it's a little chilly for that these days.

00:45:39.940 You guys take care.

00:45:41.200 Well, but that, okay, I agree with you, drill, baby, drill.

00:45:44.160 But that doesn't happen overnight.

00:45:45.720 Like, that takes months or years, right?

00:45:47.740 Absolutely.

00:45:48.860 All right.

00:45:49.100 I think there's a way we can work together.

00:45:51.200 All right.

00:45:51.460 Well, I'm relying on you to be an advocate for Canadian oil.

00:45:54.280 We can do that.

00:45:55.360 All right.

00:45:55.760 Nice to meet you.

00:45:56.520 Yes, sir.

00:45:56.940 Thank you.

00:45:57.440 Right on.

00:45:58.020 Cheers.

00:45:58.220 Cheers.

00:45:58.300 Cheers.

00:45:58.340 Cheers.

00:45:58.420 Cheers.

00:45:58.460 Cheers.
