Good morning. Welcome to another episode of Stand on Guard. We've got a great show for
00:00:05.840
you and a special surprise appearance by your favorite minister. When we come back, the
00:00:14.460
ship is sinking. It's a ship of fools and the fools are going down with the ship, but
00:00:20.280
not before they make absolute bigger fools of themselves. And wait till you see Randy
00:00:56.420
Okay, no more technical glitches, I promise. Thanks for watching. It's Tuesday, August
00:01:12.760
27th. 2024 are in the last days of August. Always makes me a little bit melancholy as
00:01:22.220
I see the August go away, but life goes on, doesn't it? We've got a great show for you
00:01:27.800
today and we're going to talk about the complete delusion in the liberal cabinet. How real is
00:01:34.920
it? Well, it's difficult to say. Politicians lie through their teeth constantly about reality
00:01:43.620
and about how they really feel. We're going to show some clips, though, about what's going
00:01:47.720
on in the heralded Trudeau cabinet retreat, where, of course, yesterday, I know I didn't
00:01:55.300
get it live, but you did see Justin Trudeau respond to questions about his leadership. And
00:02:01.280
of course, he just deflected every question, saying, I'm here working for Canadians. We're
00:02:05.800
going to roll up our sleeves. These are challenging times. You know the talking points. And the man
00:02:10.520
is so self-obsessed, such a narcissistic SOB, that he just can't relate. The fact that huge
00:02:19.520
numbers of Canadians loathe him. They're sick of his smirking face. They're sick of his talking
00:02:26.340
point. They're sick of him standing up there and looking at everybody like, he's just so superior.
00:02:32.180
You know, it's that, it is farcical. It's shambolic. This is what Justin Trudeau has become.
00:02:39.360
You know, the very embodiment of the narcissistic politician. And this is what he continues to
00:02:46.960
be. So what's, so what's happening? I'm going to save the Randy Boissoneau clip for last,
00:02:52.640
because you won't believe what Boissoneau did at the cabinet retreat. I haven't seen any coverage
00:02:59.280
of this because it was almost like an after the fact insertion into a question and answer
00:03:06.900
session. But of course, yeah, it's top of the news. It's Trudeau. You look at Trudeau. It looks
00:03:12.620
like he's trying to think something here. Great thoughts. And of course, they're all saying,
00:03:18.060
sorry, Trudeau, just cutting back on the foreign temporary foreign worker program and putting some
00:03:24.380
tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles isn't going to do it. That's not enough. How stupid do you think
00:03:32.000
Canadians are? This is the conversation they're having behind closed doors. Yes, I know that.
00:03:38.860
And we'll see the conversation that they say they're having when we watch some of these clips,
00:03:44.560
which are agonizing to watch. It's, it's agonizing to watch anybody, even if they're liberals,
00:03:50.600
even if they're liberal cabinet ministers, tie themselves into up into knots, into pretzels,
00:03:55.420
lying about reality. It's agonizing to see anybody lie that badly. But they do. So what's really
00:04:04.180
happening here, of course, CBC News spoke to six MPs who say they want to see cabinet agree on several
00:04:10.860
measures. A major cabinet shuffle, simplified public messaging, an effort to market the liberals as a
00:04:16.500
team, and a more aggressive communications campaign contrasting the party with the conservatives.
00:04:23.120
Well, that's pretty hard to do. The latter is very hard to do when the conservatives are the one who
00:04:27.920
proposed tariffs on electric vehicles from China. And true to what the Times said, well, it's been
00:04:34.100
preposterous. We're not going to do that. And of course, yesterday, that was the real main plank of his
00:04:40.060
change announcement. Yes, we're going to put tariffs on Chinese EVs, just like Polyam. So how are they
00:04:45.740
going to contrast their policy from the conservatives? Sounds like they're just now, they're so desperate,
00:04:50.360
they're borrowing policy from the conservatives. Just like Kamala Harris is borrowing her housing
00:04:57.660
policy from the Trudeau liberals. So it really is an absurdity what's going on here. But
00:05:05.440
the sources who spoke to CBC knows on the condition they not be named. God forbid they should be named
00:05:12.620
because Trudeau will do something so they could speak freely. So that Trudeau has acknowledged
00:05:18.440
privately what hasn't worked for his government over the past year, but hasn't done so publicly.
00:05:23.080
Well, he hasn't worked for his government. In fact, literally, he hasn't worked. The man spends most of
00:05:29.520
his time on vacation, doesn't read briefing notes, doesn't give a damn what's going on in the country,
00:05:36.000
doesn't understand ordinary Canadians, probably doesn't know one. When he sees them, he walks the other side of
00:05:41.540
the street because they're protesting. So it's a huge farce. So the liberals are drawing inspiration
00:05:49.880
from these surging Democrats. Of course, the Democrats are not surging in the U.S. That is a complete lie.
00:05:58.880
All of this euphoria over Kamala Harris, the vice president, who is now the Democratic presidential
00:06:04.540
nominee, is completely fabricated. There's no euphoria over her. She hasn't had a news conference
00:06:10.020
since she illegally took the leadership of the party, since she illegally stole the nomination.
00:06:17.460
Nobody elected her. Nobody voted for her. That's the only kind of election she can win,
00:06:22.180
where nobody votes. And the whole thing is a farce. And to say that she has a great fiscal policy,
00:06:28.360
which adds up to, well, I know what inflation looks like. It's when you go to the store and the
00:06:33.800
price of eggs has gone up. Yeah, that's the very edge of perspicacity. But unfortunately,
00:06:41.820
it doesn't add up to any kind of policy because all she's talking about is price controls that are
00:06:45.880
going to make the United States and eventually Canada, because everything the United States does
00:06:51.520
affects Canada almost immediately. It's going to turn the grocery stores in the United States into
00:06:56.860
barren storage at houses. It's going to mean scarcity of food, goods, and perhaps even services.
00:07:05.960
This is what we don't even realize. This is a recipe for catastrophe. The United States is already
00:07:10.860
teetering on the brink of disaster. It's way overspent on foreign wars. It's overextended itself
00:07:16.720
everywhere. It has no money for these miraculous, stupid measures. And it's pretending it does,
00:07:23.760
just like Canada continues to pretend. Let's have a look at this other slide here.
00:07:27.620
Multiple liberal MPs said they want to see a major cabinet shuffle sweep out ministers who aren't
00:07:32.060
delivering, like maybe 80% of them, and pulling their political weight. Well, you know, there's a
00:07:38.140
lot of overweight ones. One source said that the caucus has been coordinating a list of cabinet
00:07:43.660
ministers some MPs want to see dropped from cabinet. Well, I'm sure we could all put together
00:07:49.920
a nice list of MPs we'd like to see dropped from cabinet. Let's have a look at some of them. I'm
00:07:54.920
just going to play a bit here to remind you of Trudeau's performance yesterday. This was pathetic.
00:08:02.260
This was absolutely abysmal. But, you know, as I say over and over again, in politics,
00:08:09.500
politics, it's all about convincing people you're not really in trouble.
00:08:18.220
And this is what the Trudeau liberals are trying to do right now.
00:08:21.460
They're trying to convince you that there's no storm clouds on the horizon.
00:08:26.380
Even though the storm clouds aren't on the horizon, they're right above them.
00:08:29.600
And it's raining hard. And their gale force wins.
00:08:33.600
But no problem. We're going to get through this.
00:08:43.040
The ship is sinking. They're going down with the ship.
00:08:47.240
You're going to see cabinet ministers of the caliber,
00:08:54.160
because I don't like to suggest people like Melanie Jolie
00:09:14.760
That you plan to stay on to say persistently bad polling,
00:09:21.220
that your party lost for the first time in three decades
00:09:28.620
Listen, we are focused on being there for Canadians.
00:09:33.600
We are focused on stepping up on support and investments
00:09:38.080
that are going to leave Canadians better off for the coming years.
00:09:44.420
Well, there has been discontent in the liberal ranks,
00:09:47.300
but Trudeau's cabinet ministers say they are standing by him.
00:09:50.240
We have confidence in him as the leader of our government,
00:09:56.720
and we have confidence in him as our party's leader,
00:10:01.740
as the guy who is going to lead us into the next election.
00:10:04.920
I think the prime minister is doing a great job
00:10:07.500
in making sure that he's reflecting what Canadians are saying and hearing.
00:10:10.960
I'm very hopeful and optimistic about this next election
00:10:14.180
with the leader we have, with the team we have.
00:10:20.240
All right, I was going to show you more of that CBC analysis,
00:10:26.880
But do you see them lying through their teeth there,
00:10:29.600
suggesting that, whoo, whoo, just a minute now.
00:10:37.380
The sycophants in this cabinet are just embarrassing to watch.
00:10:41.960
But the absolute toadying to Justin Trudeau as some sort of leader
00:10:51.080
This guy is lucky to be prime minister after nine years.
00:11:02.100
I was there reporting at the time for iPolitics about that campaign.
00:11:27.440
And they kept saying Trudeau is just not ready.
00:11:29.280
When's he going to be ready, next year, in six months, next week?
00:11:38.800
Then he had the back-to-back minority governments,
00:12:11.720
And in finance minister John Crosby's budget of that year,
00:12:27.320
I can still remember the date, February 22nd, 1980.
00:12:41.620
He doesn't want to go out as the prime minister
00:12:49.020
because the new Democratic Party kept him of power.
00:12:51.840
He doesn't want to be remembered as the liberal
00:13:11.720
So he wants to go out with a majority government.
00:13:21.460
And I keep saying he'll do anything in his power
00:13:24.740
because he knows he's going to get defeated badly.
00:13:27.720
It will be the largest liberal defeat in history
00:13:30.740
if Justin Trudeau remains leader of that party.
00:13:47.080
Even though I think he might have other items in the fire.
00:14:01.380
you know, can you work with any administration?
00:14:04.720
I think the question we're trying to draw out from you
00:14:07.040
is what you learned from watching the races south of the border,
00:14:20.900
And I know you say you're busy working as a foreign minister.
00:14:26.120
and you would have concerns around the party's electability
00:14:30.740
So talk to us about how you see the way forward
00:14:33.840
in the next few months to ensure your own re-election,
00:14:40.260
When it comes to the U.S., we're following very, very closely.
00:14:44.580
And, of course, we're following the dynamics on both sides.
00:15:02.380
And meanwhile, I'm engaging with the Republicans,
00:15:12.240
So that's been what I've been doing behind closed doors.
00:15:17.380
What else have you been doing behind closed doors, Melanie?
00:16:01.580
you shouldn't be asking questions like that, Tondra.
00:16:08.000
Of course we're connected to what people think.
00:16:27.420
are people preoccupied about affordability, housing?
00:16:52.220
yeah, I know we have a problem with affordability.
