Summary

Justin Trudeau is stepping down as Prime Minister of Canada, but what does that mean for the rest of the country? And what does it mean for Donald Trump, who is now in the lead in the polls to replace him?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Let's not fault Justin Trudeau for doing what he has done best, which is to fight.
00:00:07.040 His instincts of a fighter have served him well.
00:00:09.400 No one is going to reproach his courage for sticking around a couple rounds and fighting for Canadians.
00:00:16.840 Yeah, we'll see more of that Mark Miller interview later.
00:00:21.680 A lot of clarification has to be done.
00:00:24.680 But we'll be right back with the show.
00:00:30.000 We need a political change.
00:00:45.820 But we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:48.940 Yes, we need to resolve to resist.
00:00:59.760 And please subscribe.
00:01:00.920 Thank you for doing it.
00:01:01.880 Big numbers lately.
00:01:03.220 Thank you for liking the station.
00:01:06.240 Beat those YouTube algorithms.
00:01:09.880 It's nice to see that the censorship is rising.
00:01:16.260 I should say going away, evaporating to some degree.
00:01:20.860 Even Facebook is talking about getting rid of censorship.
00:01:26.420 I wish YouTube would talk about getting rid of censorship.
00:01:28.780 We wouldn't believe the words that are banned on this outlet.
00:01:33.440 But, so, did Justin Trudeau resign this week?
00:01:38.960 That's the question.
00:01:40.480 No.
00:01:42.440 Is he going to resign by March 24th?
00:01:44.780 That's another date I'm hearing from people in the media.
00:01:48.780 No.
00:01:50.280 Justin Trudeau will resign when he feels like it.
00:01:55.100 He will resign when there's a new liberal leader.
00:01:57.060 Now, how long do you think that's going to take?
00:02:00.740 Do you think it's going to be wrapped up by March 24th?
00:02:03.140 No.
00:02:03.860 And Trudeau never said it would be.
00:02:05.960 The Bloc Québécois leader, Blanchet, was the one who said,
00:02:10.480 well, I believe their leadership review will be over by March 24th.
00:02:14.040 Or the leadership contest will be over.
00:02:15.720 No, of course not.
00:02:16.400 Nobody said that.
00:02:18.020 Nobody's even claimed any such thing.
00:02:21.900 So, Trudeau could be there.
00:02:23.100 Now, he wants to keep the fight going with Donald Trump.
00:02:27.580 And we're going to be talking about Donald Trump's hosting on X.
00:02:33.340 But before I forget, please have a read of my sub stack.
00:02:36.980 I think it clarifies what Trudeau could be up to here.
00:02:41.740 You know, it was always said of Barack Obama that he was a,
00:02:50.160 not a great president.
00:02:51.420 Even if he were on the left, he tended not to be a good president.
00:02:56.240 He was a great campaigner.
00:02:58.720 He was always campaigning.
00:03:01.640 Throughout his presidency, it was always a campaign.
00:03:05.320 Like he was, like he had to face the voters again.
00:03:07.860 And it was a huge personality issue.
00:03:12.180 Justin Trudeau is another campaigner.
00:03:17.140 It's always a campaign, except he doesn't want to,
00:03:19.240 he doesn't want to face the voters.
00:03:21.880 And this is what we need.
00:03:23.200 We need an election.
00:03:24.620 I can't say Trudeau must go now.
00:03:27.800 We need a prime minister with a mandate to govern.
00:03:31.920 Trudeau doesn't have that.
00:03:33.040 And some liberal leader replacement isn't going to have that either.
00:03:37.540 You know, I can't encourage people enough.
00:03:43.600 We need to keep the pressure on to get rid of Trudeau,
00:03:46.780 because Donald Trump's keeping the pressure on.
00:03:49.460 You bet.
00:03:50.120 I want to listen to Pierre Pollyov's remarks.
00:03:53.800 I meant to play this yesterday.
00:03:55.680 I didn't get to it.
00:03:57.140 But he actually presents a plan.
00:03:59.360 It's not just a, it's not, it's not a eulogy about Justin Trudeau.
00:04:04.120 It's a plan to move forward under a new government.
00:04:10.360 Canadians desperate to turn the page on this dark chapter in our history
00:04:15.060 might be relieved today that Justin Trudeau is finally leaving.
00:04:20.300 But what has really changed?
00:04:22.860 Every liberal MP in power today,
00:04:25.420 and every potential liberal leadership contender fighting for the top job,
00:04:29.360 helped Justin Trudeau break the country over the last nine years.
00:04:33.880 All liberal politicians actively worked to pass into law
00:04:38.220 the job-killing inflationary carbon tax,
00:04:41.500 a tax that Carbon Tax Carney endorsed in his book.
00:04:45.480 All supported a law quadrupling the tax over the next five years.
00:04:49.440 All voted for or actively supported Trudeau's out-of-control spending,
00:04:53.980 debt, and immigration.
00:04:55.240 All passed Trudeau's housing policies that doubled the cost of homes.
00:04:59.880 All liberal politicians helped pass catch-and-release bail and house arrest
00:05:04.000 for the most rampant re-offenders.
00:05:06.240 Policies that increased violent crime 50%,
00:05:09.220 gun crime 116%,
00:05:11.380 and hate crime by 250%.
00:05:14.420 So given that liberal MPs and leadership contenders
00:05:18.140 unanimously supported everything Trudeau has done,
00:05:21.120 why dump him now, right before an election?
00:05:24.500 Have they had a change of heart?
00:05:25.640 Is it because they feel guilty that they doubled housing costs,
00:05:29.240 hiked taxes, unleashed crime, broke immigration,
00:05:32.120 forced a quarter of the population into poverty?
00:05:35.040 No.
00:05:36.640 They continued supporting Trudeau when he did all of those things.
00:05:39.920 No, their only objection is that he is no longer popular enough
00:05:43.440 to win an election and keep them in power.
00:05:45.820 They want to protect their pensions and paycheck
00:05:47.760 by sweeping their hated leader under the rug
00:05:50.900 months before an election to trick you
00:05:53.900 and then do it all over again.
00:05:57.780 Now, while leaderless liberals focus on saving their jobs
00:06:01.360 and fighting each other for power,
00:06:03.400 the country spirals out of control.
00:06:05.880 An out-of-control housing emergency.
00:06:08.020 An out-of-control housing emergency.
00:06:09.120 Now, just wait for a second here.
00:06:12.540 What happens if the House resumes on March 24th
00:06:15.500 and there's no new liberal leader?
00:06:17.420 Well, Justin Trudeau will be still prime minister.
00:06:23.280 He'll still be the leader of the Liberal Party.
00:06:25.500 What happens if the government falls?
00:06:28.540 Well, Justin Trudeau will be leading the liberals
00:06:30.840 in that next election.
00:06:32.280 In fact, they'll probably beg him not to resign,
00:06:36.140 which is what they did when his father,
00:06:39.380 Pierre Trudeau, resigned in 1979.
00:06:41.840 I'm not going to tell this story again.
00:06:43.600 But they begged Trudeau to come back
00:06:46.220 because there was a snap election
00:06:47.720 following the defeat of the progressive
00:06:50.680 conservative government of Joe Clark
00:06:52.200 in December 1979.
00:06:55.780 There was a February election.
00:06:57.520 The liberals did not have time
00:06:58.880 to have a leadership convention.
00:07:02.140 They didn't have time to select a new leader
00:07:03.840 and they don't have time right now.
00:07:05.400 So this could be a ploy by Justin Trudeau
00:07:07.500 to stay put
00:07:08.660 and to have the party ask him
00:07:11.720 to come back one more time.
00:07:13.600 ...control migrant crisis
00:07:15.040 and out-of-control $62 billion deficit,
00:07:17.660 not to mention tariff threats
00:07:19.660 from the United States.
00:07:21.980 Oh, and another NDP Liberal carbon tax hike
00:07:25.760 kicks in this April 1st.
00:07:29.560 Everything's out of control.
00:07:31.060 And now the government is out of control.
00:07:33.360 This cannot go on.
00:07:35.600 We need a carbon tax election now
00:07:39.000 to choose between the NDP Liberal costly coalition
00:07:42.880 that taxes your food, punishes your work,
00:07:45.160 doubles your housing costs,
00:07:46.700 and unleashes crime and drugs in your community.
00:07:49.440 Or common-sense conservatives
00:07:51.260 who will axe the tax, build the homes,
00:07:54.020 fix the budget, and stop the crime.
00:07:56.000 Canadians can take back control of their lives
00:07:58.940 and their country.
00:08:00.200 Take back control of our border.
00:08:01.660 Take back control of immigration.
00:08:03.620 Take back control of spending, deficits, and inflation.
00:08:06.280 Take back control of our streets
00:08:07.920 by locking up criminals,
00:08:09.660 banning drugs,
00:08:10.740 treating addiction,
00:08:11.560 and stopping gun smugglers.
00:08:13.440 We'll cap spending,
00:08:14.900 axe taxes,
00:08:15.980 reward work,
00:08:17.080 build homes,
00:08:18.060 uphold family,
00:08:19.160 stop crime,
00:08:20.000 secure borders,
00:08:20.880 rearm our forces,
00:08:22.180 restore our freedom,
00:08:23.280 and put Canada first.
00:08:26.000 All with one mission.
00:08:27.720 To bring home Canada's promise
00:08:29.320 that every hard-working Canadian
00:08:31.900 gets a powerful paycheck and pension
00:08:33.900 that buys affordable food and homes
00:08:36.440 on safe streets
00:08:37.920 where all are united
00:08:39.920 for the country we know and love.
00:08:44.640 Canada first,
00:08:45.820 Canada last,
00:08:47.240 Canada always.
00:08:48.640 Let's bring it home.
00:08:51.500 That's good.
00:08:52.320 That was good.
00:08:54.260 But for a different take,
00:08:58.180 let's listen to
00:08:58.980 a former housing minister.
00:09:01.720 No,
00:09:02.540 a former immigration minister.
00:09:05.280 I think he's still
00:09:06.280 the immigration minister,
00:09:07.180 actually,
00:09:07.380 Mark Miller.
00:09:08.420 Everybody knew a guy like this
00:09:10.220 in high school.
00:09:11.500 He was the dimwit
00:09:12.480 who always had his hand up
00:09:14.440 to answer the question,
00:09:16.420 but he never got the right answer.
00:09:18.780 This is that kind of a person.
00:09:21.600 Given his behavior today,
00:09:23.780 Pierre Polyev has been entirely classless,
00:09:26.120 and I think that's what we're going to get
00:09:27.140 with a leader like Pierre Polyev.
00:09:28.580 We need someone that can beat him.
00:09:30.940 The conservatives, though,
00:09:31.940 argue that the prime minister
00:09:33.240 taking as long as he did
00:09:34.720 or making the decision
00:09:35.580 in the fashion he did
00:09:36.680 actually isn't in the interest of Canadians.
00:09:38.700 It's not just the conservatives,
00:09:39.720 in fact.
00:09:40.180 To be fair,
00:09:40.700 today we heard from the leader of the bloc,
00:09:42.220 the leader of the NDP,
00:09:43.640 all of which say,
00:09:44.980 all of whom say,
00:09:45.820 I should say,
00:09:46.240 that they plan
00:09:47.340 at the earliest opportunity
00:09:48.660 to bring your government down.
00:09:50.840 What kind of stability
00:09:51.760 has the decision-making
00:09:53.500 of Justin Trudeau
00:09:54.260 actually provided
00:09:55.360 at this crucial time,
00:09:56.640 as you outlined,
00:09:57.480 facing the threat
00:09:58.300 of economic recession?
00:10:00.900 What actually has served
00:10:03.000 the interests of Canadians
00:10:03.960 in that capacity?
00:10:04.880 Well, look,
00:10:05.240 these people,
00:10:05.880 and you know it,
00:10:06.340 you've seen it,
00:10:06.960 they will pump,
00:10:08.400 you know,
00:10:08.600 they will bluster
00:10:11.260 and then stand up
00:10:12.100 in the House of Commons
00:10:12.680 and support this.
00:10:13.560 They did that
00:10:14.620 as lately
00:10:16.000 as three weeks ago.
00:10:17.280 Yeah, did you mean?
00:10:18.180 So that's proof
00:10:19.040 that will need
00:10:20.140 to be tested
00:10:20.860 in late March.
00:10:23.720 We owe it to Canadians
00:10:24.900 to reach out.
00:10:25.920 We're in a minority.
00:10:26.640 We have been so
00:10:27.320 for the longest period
00:10:28.400 of our history.
00:10:29.300 We owe it to Canadians
00:10:29.980 to reach out
00:10:30.400 to those parties
00:10:30.940 to see if they would like
00:10:32.560 to work with us
00:10:33.180 and with the new leader.
00:10:35.460 Let's not fault
00:10:36.320 Justin Trudeau
00:10:37.300 for doing
00:10:38.920 what he has done best,
00:10:39.940 which is to fight.
00:10:41.280 His instincts
00:10:42.000 of a fighter
00:10:42.700 have served him well.
00:10:43.620 No one is going
00:10:44.280 to reproach his courage
00:10:46.120 for sticking around
00:10:47.220 a couple rounds
00:10:47.920 and fighting for Canadians.
00:10:50.100 That's the situation
00:10:51.320 that we're in
00:10:51.900 and I profoundly respect
00:10:53.320 that decision.
00:10:54.380 Deciding to step down
00:10:55.460 is one that you can't
00:10:57.520 necessarily,
00:10:57.980 shouldn't necessarily
00:10:58.740 take overnight
00:10:59.360 based on the public behavior
00:11:02.500 of two or three,
00:11:03.860 four or five,
00:11:04.900 20 MPs.
00:11:06.080 It does require
00:11:07.060 reflection.
00:11:07.840 Recall about
00:11:09.260 four or five weeks ago,
00:11:10.880 probably 150 MPs.
00:11:13.260 Mark Miller
00:11:14.140 is just incapable
00:11:16.080 of objective thinking
00:11:18.520 or rational thinking.
00:11:19.480 Ago,
00:11:20.160 or at least
00:11:20.600 early in the summer,
00:11:22.420 a number of MPs
00:11:23.720 were annoyed
00:11:24.540 with the Prime Minister
00:11:25.960 for only taking
00:11:26.500 two days to reflect.
00:11:28.240 Some of those
00:11:29.000 same voices
00:11:29.440 were saying
00:11:29.980 it took too long,
00:11:31.200 three weeks.
00:11:31.740 So which is it?
00:11:32.980 This happened
00:11:33.700 over a period of time
00:11:34.720 that included
00:11:35.340 his birthday,
00:11:36.840 Christmas,
00:11:37.860 holidays with his family
00:11:38.980 and that's usually
00:11:40.120 an opportunity
00:11:40.600 to step back
00:11:41.300 and breathe
00:11:41.740 and he had to figure
00:11:42.760 about his political future.
00:11:43.880 So there's a very
00:11:44.680 personal aspect
00:11:45.400 to this,
00:11:45.880 and I would really
00:11:46.640 appreciate finishing.
00:11:48.060 This is an extremely
00:11:49.720 important decision
00:11:50.400 in the future of the nation
00:11:51.380 and every single decision
00:11:52.500 point that the Prime Minister
00:11:53.520 has taken
00:11:54.800 has not been about himself
00:11:56.100 but about the future
00:11:57.580 of the country
00:11:58.000 and his love for Canadians
00:11:58.920 and I think today
00:11:59.600 was the right day
00:12:00.180 to do it for our nation.
00:12:02.740 Can you understand
00:12:03.360 how Canadians
00:12:03.920 might think differently
00:12:04.760 because you're referencing
00:12:05.640 a period of just three weeks.
00:12:07.180 That's since
00:12:07.700 his Deputy Prime Minister
00:12:09.100 said she and the Prime Minister
00:12:10.440 were at odds
00:12:11.060 over the future direction
00:12:11.860 of the country.
00:12:12.940 Since last year,
00:12:14.580 the positioning of your party
00:12:16.060 in public opinion polling
00:12:16.920 has been borne out
00:12:18.140 through two very significant
00:12:20.220 losses in by-elections
00:12:21.520 in two very safe seats
00:12:23.620 for your party.
00:12:25.180 Like that public opinion polling
00:12:26.340 has been persistent
00:12:27.140 for a very long time.
00:12:28.260 Those calls that you mentioned
00:12:29.460 from MPs came in October.
00:12:31.580 They came in the summer.
00:12:32.660 It's not like it just arose
00:12:34.560 out of thin air
00:12:35.260 over the last three weeks.
00:12:36.600 Instead, what we have now
00:12:37.600 is the Prime Minister
00:12:38.180 announcing this decision
00:12:39.220 at a time of great tumult
00:12:41.200 for the country.
00:12:41.960 As you point out,
00:12:43.240 is it truly in the best interest
00:12:44.820 of Canadians
00:12:45.340 that he waited this long?
00:12:47.040 Well, I think the proof
00:12:48.040 is what we were able to do
00:12:49.660 in the House of Commons.
00:12:51.460 I'll give it to you
00:12:52.420 that the last three months
00:12:53.280 have been entirely unproductive
00:12:54.860 based on essentially filibustering
00:12:56.760 by the Conservative Party.
00:12:58.260 Well, any time spent with you
00:13:02.520 is very unproductive.
00:13:04.660 But if you think
00:13:06.440 I'm making this up
00:13:07.420 about March 24th
00:13:08.980 being some magic drop-dead date,
00:13:11.020 it's not going to happen.
00:13:13.180 Let's listen to Warren Kinsella,
00:13:14.960 a former communications guru.
00:13:16.920 Paul Martin
00:13:17.520 went to my alma mater
00:13:20.260 at Carleton University.
00:13:21.180 He was the president of CUSA,
00:13:23.100 the Carleton University
00:13:23.940 Student Association.
00:13:24.720 And, of course,
00:13:27.200 doesn't like Justin Trudeau.
00:13:29.820 That's the only reason
00:13:31.040 I have any time at all for Warren.
00:13:32.460 But he has a tendency
00:13:34.220 to be abrasive,
00:13:35.920 but honest about some things.
00:13:37.960 And I think he's being very honest,
00:13:39.820 and being very honest
00:13:41.780 about Justin Trudeau
00:13:42.960 and the leadership.
00:13:44.160 Listen to this,
00:13:45.100 because I think
00:13:45.660 this is confirmation
00:13:47.100 that this is not going
00:13:49.240 to be over by March 24th.
00:13:50.460 Sort of the question
00:13:51.300 Canadians are wondering.
00:13:53.280 They want to pass judgment.
00:13:55.580 They wanted to pass judgment
00:13:56.820 on Justin Trudeau.
00:13:58.200 They're not going to have
00:13:59.000 their opportunity to do that.
00:14:00.160 I think indirectly they will
00:14:01.240 on the Liberal Party of Canada
00:14:02.320 in general,
00:14:02.840 how they've run the country
00:14:04.220 in the last nearly decade.
00:14:06.260 But what of that
00:14:07.600 in terms of
00:14:08.380 the opposition parties now?
00:14:10.940 All of that ability,
00:14:13.200 all of their ability
00:14:13.980 to have a confidence motion,
00:14:16.160 that's all gone.
00:14:17.240 We're looking at March.
00:14:18.160 Take us to March and beyond.
00:14:21.240 Well, the opposition parties
00:14:22.240 are going to disappear
00:14:23.000 because all of us
00:14:24.000 are going to be paying attention
00:14:25.000 to the Liberal leadership race.
00:14:27.160 And that's just the way
00:14:27.960 the cookie crumbles.
00:14:29.160 You know, the Tories
00:14:29.620 got lots of attention.
00:14:30.800 The government got none
00:14:31.740 during their race.
00:14:32.740 So that's what's
00:14:33.540 going to happen there.
00:14:34.300 Brian is exactly right
00:14:35.920 about how this is going
00:14:37.360 to work out.
00:14:38.320 I was one of the people saying,
00:14:39.740 yes, the Governor General
00:14:40.880 is going to grant
00:14:41.460 their request to parole.
00:14:42.720 She did.
00:14:43.460 It took about 30 seconds
00:14:45.440 this morning.
00:14:46.120 So they are going to come back.
00:14:48.540 They have to vote supply.
00:14:50.020 I believe that they've got
00:14:51.020 the NDP and possibly
00:14:52.560 the bloc in their pocket
00:14:54.040 to get that through.
00:14:55.560 The Tories do not want
00:14:57.140 an attack ad saying,
00:14:59.040 Pierre Polyev wants
00:15:00.240 to keep your grandmother
00:15:01.360 from getting her check
00:15:02.420 or whatever.
00:15:03.020 They don't want that.
00:15:04.300 So the Tories
00:15:05.000 will grouse about it.
00:15:06.080 They'll complain about it,
00:15:07.200 but they'll let it happen.
00:15:08.620 Then, as Brian says,
00:15:10.080 they will prorogue again.
00:15:11.480 My only question
00:15:12.620 that I'm not sure about
00:15:14.000 and what he just laid out
00:15:15.400 is does the new liberal leader
00:15:17.920 go to an election right away
00:15:19.900 in the spring of 2025
00:15:22.220 or early summer?
00:15:24.940 You know, there's a precedent
00:15:26.040 for that.
00:15:26.660 That's what Kim Campbell did.
00:15:28.080 You know, that's what
00:15:28.560 John Turner did
00:15:29.560 and they paid a big price.
00:15:31.280 Or do you let the people
00:15:32.500 get to know you a bit better
00:15:33.640 over the course of the summer
00:15:34.720 and try in the fall?
00:15:36.300 But if you go to the fall,
00:15:37.420 you're bumping up against,
00:15:38.920 you know, that deadline
00:15:40.160 that governments have.
00:15:41.520 It's really four years.
00:15:43.100 Under the Constitution,
00:15:43.980 they can go for five years,
00:15:45.120 but nobody does.
00:15:46.560 So I think that
00:15:47.700 what we,
00:15:49.040 what's going to happen
00:15:50.220 will be,
00:15:50.980 we're all going to learn
00:15:51.840 by looking at the polls.
00:15:53.240 If the new liberal leader,
00:15:54.860 whoever she is,
00:15:55.840 I believe it'll be a she,
00:15:57.280 comes out and sees
00:15:58.720 that she is
00:15:59.740 the most popular prime minister
00:16:01.600 in the history of polling,
00:16:02.780 she's going to call
00:16:03.500 the goddamn election
00:16:04.560 immediately.
00:16:06.160 And, you know,
00:16:07.040 try and get Polly
00:16:07.980 back on his heels.
00:16:09.340 If it looks like
00:16:10.420 it's still a very competitive race,
00:16:12.340 she will push it
00:16:13.240 to the fall
00:16:13.820 the way that Brian
00:16:14.880 just described.
00:16:16.600 So who do you think
00:16:17.540 he's talking about here?
00:16:18.760 Melanie Jolie
00:16:19.640 or Christy Clark?
00:16:23.840 Neither of them
00:16:26.120 are going to be
00:16:27.280 the solution
00:16:29.300 to the liberal wasteland.
00:16:32.800 We are at the precipice
00:16:34.680 of new change
00:16:36.760 in this country
00:16:37.840 like we've never seen before.
00:16:39.360 And the liberals
00:16:40.120 are not going to stop it.
00:16:41.420 But here's the plan.
00:16:43.100 This is one of their own.
00:16:44.740 Laying out the groundwork.
00:16:46.600 This ain't going to be over
00:16:47.660 until October.
00:16:49.880 Not March.
00:16:50.980 October.
00:16:52.780 The liberals want
00:16:53.960 us to be saddled
00:16:56.300 with this government
00:16:57.460 for another six
00:16:58.920 to seven months.
00:17:01.280 That's outrageous.
00:17:02.500 That's outrageous.
00:17:06.220 Make that ten months,
00:17:07.500 actually.
00:17:09.920 So
00:17:10.440 what do I think
00:17:12.240 is going to happen?
00:17:12.740 Yeah,
00:17:12.940 I think we need
00:17:13.860 to get that
00:17:14.480 this government
00:17:16.500 defeated
00:17:17.240 pronto.
00:17:17.960 And we need
00:17:20.240 ironclad assurances
00:17:22.340 from the bloc
00:17:23.800 and from the NDP
00:17:24.880 that they will vote
00:17:25.940 this government down.
00:17:28.200 We don't have
00:17:29.360 six months.
00:17:30.280 And why?
00:17:30.680 Well,
00:17:31.260 let's listen to the end of this.
00:17:32.440 Then we'll get on to
00:17:33.100 why
00:17:33.720 we need to move quickly
00:17:36.520 and have an election.
00:17:39.460 For this return of parliament
00:17:40.720 on March 24th,
00:17:42.260 is it with a new liberal leader
00:17:43.600 or is it with Justin Trudeau?
00:17:45.280 No.
00:17:45.840 No,
00:17:46.060 you can't pull it off
00:17:47.020 just structurally.
00:17:48.040 Look what happened
00:17:48.620 to Kamala Harris
00:17:49.600 when they tried to jam
00:17:50.600 a presidential campaign
00:17:51.960 into 100 days.
00:17:53.060 The Canadian precedent
00:17:55.160 for a really quick
00:17:56.740 change in leadership
00:17:58.020 and a new leader
00:17:59.040 is Doug Ford,
00:18:00.560 right?
00:18:00.820 That's right.
00:18:01.200 In 2018.
00:18:02.320 That was 140 days.
00:18:04.500 Okay?
00:18:05.000 There's no way
00:18:06.220 that in just
00:18:07.140 about three months
00:18:08.360 they can pull off
00:18:09.600 a leadership race.
00:18:10.780 Like,
00:18:10.920 there's going to be
00:18:11.480 court challenges,
00:18:12.580 there's going to be
00:18:13.080 all kinds of complaints
00:18:14.160 and so on.
00:18:15.260 They are going
00:18:15.880 to come back,
00:18:16.880 I believe,
00:18:17.980 they are going to
00:18:18.460 vote through supply
00:18:19.480 and then they're going
00:18:20.380 to go back,
00:18:21.200 you know,
00:18:21.720 into prorogation
00:18:23.560 and have a new leader
00:18:24.860 come out on the other
00:18:25.660 side of that.
00:18:26.420 There's no way
00:18:27.080 they can pull this off
00:18:28.080 in a matter of weeks.
00:18:29.120 No way.
00:18:31.360 No.
00:18:32.180 Exactly, Warren.
00:18:33.120 And that's what I've been
00:18:33.940 saying for the last week.
00:18:35.440 Well,
00:18:35.720 for the last three days.
00:18:37.460 Not going to happen
00:18:38.260 by March 24th.
00:18:39.400 There's just no way
00:18:40.180 this can happen.
00:18:41.920 Ah.
00:18:42.480 So why do we need
00:18:43.200 a new government?
00:18:44.200 Well,
00:18:44.480 we've got to get rid
00:18:45.640 of this woke government,
00:18:47.560 of this
00:18:47.940 this inept,
00:18:50.620 corrupt,
00:18:51.080 invasive government.
00:18:51.920 We need to get rid of it
00:18:53.140 for the good of Canada,
00:18:54.720 for your good and mine,
00:18:56.040 but we need to negotiate
00:18:57.600 with Donald Trump
00:18:58.800 who is becoming president
00:19:00.040 now.
00:19:02.160 Oh my goodness,
00:19:02.800 in 12 days.
00:19:04.000 Yes.
00:19:04.680 12 days time.
00:19:07.340 Donald Trump continues
00:19:08.540 to troll Justin Trudeau.
00:19:09.700 He continues to
00:19:10.660 taunt
00:19:11.840 Justin Trudeau
00:19:13.040 every day
00:19:13.640 or at least
00:19:15.180 once a week
00:19:15.880 on social media,
00:19:18.440 usually X.
00:19:19.420 And he's done it again
00:19:20.220 this week.
00:19:21.000 He's talking
00:19:21.700 about Canada
00:19:23.420 being the 51st state
00:19:25.660 like it's
00:19:26.220 a foreseeable objective.
00:19:29.360 Now,
00:19:29.660 is he really serious
00:19:30.860 about that
00:19:31.380 or is this
00:19:31.800 his way of saying
00:19:32.940 I'm not dealing
00:19:34.640 with Justin Trudeau.
00:19:35.840 You put Justin Trudeau
00:19:37.040 in front of me,
00:19:38.180 I'm going to laugh
00:19:38.900 at him
00:19:39.220 and I have nothing
00:19:41.400 but disdain
00:19:42.040 for Justin Trudeau
00:19:43.120 the same way
00:19:43.740 that Justin Trudeau
00:19:44.560 has disdain
00:19:45.400 for me.
00:19:46.200 We can't
00:19:46.820 negotiate together.
00:19:49.580 For a joke,
00:19:50.720 Donald Trump
00:19:51.320 seems pretty serious
00:19:52.820 about making
00:19:53.720 Canada
00:19:54.220 the 51st state.
00:19:56.060 It's a shocking statement.
00:20:00.360 President-elect
00:20:01.040 Donald Trump
00:20:01.660 says he's considering
00:20:02.980 using economic force
00:20:04.980 to annex Canada
00:20:06.380 and make it part
00:20:07.420 of the U.S.
00:20:08.140 You get rid of that
00:20:09.260 artificially drawn line
00:20:10.740 and you take a look
00:20:12.300 at what that looks like
00:20:13.400 and it would also be
00:20:14.520 much better
00:20:14.980 for national security.
00:20:16.140 Don't forget,
00:20:16.580 we basically protect Canada.
00:20:17.940 Why are we supporting
00:20:20.000 a country
00:20:21.620 200 billion plus
00:20:23.780 a year?
00:20:25.060 Our military
00:20:26.040 is at their disposal.
00:20:27.580 All of these other things,
00:20:29.020 they should be a state.
00:20:30.360 That's why I told Trudeau
00:20:31.400 when he came down,
00:20:32.140 I said,
00:20:32.420 what would happen
00:20:32.980 if we didn't do it?
00:20:34.460 He said Canada
00:20:35.180 would dissolve.
00:20:36.280 Trump said the U.S.
00:20:37.280 should stop buying
00:20:38.080 cars,
00:20:38.800 lumber and dairy
00:20:39.800 from Canada,
00:20:40.960 part of long-standing
00:20:42.220 free trade agreements,
00:20:43.920 again urging his friend,
00:20:45.500 a former Canadian
00:20:46.420 hockey player,
00:20:47.200 to run politically.
00:20:48.720 The great one,
00:20:50.160 Wayne Gretzky,
00:20:50.940 I said,
00:20:51.200 run for prime minister,
00:20:52.220 you'll win in a,
00:20:53.560 it'll take two seconds,
00:20:54.980 but he said,
00:20:56.200 well,
00:20:56.360 am I going to run
00:20:56.920 for prime minister
00:20:57.600 or governor?
00:20:58.300 You tell me.
00:20:59.040 I said,
00:20:59.860 I don't know,
00:21:00.700 let's make it governor.
00:21:01.560 I like it better.
00:21:02.560 Canada's prime minister,
00:21:03.720 Justin Trudeau,
00:21:04.620 shot back,
00:21:05.500 there isn't a snowball's
00:21:06.740 chance in hell
00:21:07.460 that Canada
00:21:08.220 would become part
00:21:09.380 of the United States.
00:21:11.220 And it's not just Canada.
00:21:12.720 As Trump's son,
00:21:13.880 Don Jr.
00:21:14.660 arrived in Greenland.
00:21:16.320 We're really excited
00:21:17.040 to be here.
00:21:17.840 His father refused
00:21:18.760 to rule out
00:21:19.420 using military force
00:21:21.000 to claim Greenland,
00:21:22.720 the mineral-rich
00:21:23.640 Danish territory,
00:21:25.160 even as its government
00:21:26.420 said,
00:21:27.220 it's not for sale.
00:21:28.500 They should give it up
00:21:29.420 because we need it
00:21:30.360 for national security.
00:21:31.400 That's for the free world.
00:21:32.500 I'm talking about
00:21:33.140 protecting the free world.
00:21:34.460 You look outside,
00:21:35.340 you have China,
00:21:36.620 ships all over the place.
00:21:39.040 You have Russian ships
00:21:40.080 all over the place.
00:21:41.080 Trump also wants to retake
00:21:43.440 the Panama Canal
00:21:44.360 and change the name
00:21:45.480 of the Gulf of Mexico
00:21:46.620 to the Gulf of America.
00:21:49.360 Incredible controversial
00:21:50.660 comments, Sandy,
00:21:52.020 from the next U.S. president.
00:21:54.240 All right.
00:21:54.800 Okay, Joy, thanks.
00:21:57.760 Yeah.
00:21:58.000 So you think
00:21:59.900 Justin Trudeau
00:22:00.480 is going to get anywhere
00:22:01.760 with this guy?
00:22:03.800 No.
00:22:04.880 We need a new government
00:22:06.740 and we need this
00:22:07.680 to happen quickly.
00:22:09.020 I can't overestimate that.
00:22:11.140 By the way,
00:22:12.200 let's have a look
00:22:12.800 at the store
00:22:13.280 before I forget.
00:22:14.100 I'll be back
00:22:14.560 with some more
00:22:15.080 after this.
00:22:16.800 But sale is still on.
00:22:18.680 15% off.
00:22:19.680 I'll see you next time.
00:22:49.680 Yeah, that's available.
00:22:58.300 The mugs, the hats,
00:22:59.520 the hoodies, the t-shirts.
00:23:01.120 Bring in the new year
00:23:02.160 and resolve to resist with me
00:23:05.080 as we continue to do that.
00:23:07.400 By the way,
00:23:08.180 there is,
00:23:09.340 if there's been any
00:23:10.600 real good news this week,
00:23:12.760 it's that the online harms bill
00:23:15.220 has failed.
00:23:20.400 It will have to be reintroduced.
00:23:23.140 So that was the worst piece
00:23:25.160 of legislation
00:23:25.820 to come out
00:23:26.340 of the Trudeau government.
00:23:27.520 The most dangerous piece
00:23:28.940 of legislation
00:23:29.640 being proposed
00:23:30.900 by Justin Trudeau
00:23:32.160 and his balding
00:23:35.140 attorney general,
00:23:39.260 Verrani.
00:23:40.480 And that legislation
00:23:41.800 is gone.
00:23:43.220 The private members bills
00:23:44.480 are still there.
00:23:46.080 But the government business
00:23:47.320 has been suspended
00:23:49.620 along with the House.
00:23:52.300 But this,
00:23:53.420 as I say,
00:23:54.500 proroguing
00:23:55.020 the House of Commons
00:23:55.960 was something
00:23:56.940 the governor general
00:23:57.700 should not have done.
00:23:59.740 And like Kinsella jokes,
00:24:01.000 she thought about it
00:24:01.680 for 30 seconds
00:24:02.440 and said yes.
00:24:03.940 Yeah,
00:24:04.280 maybe 30 seconds.
00:24:06.240 She can't say no
00:24:07.300 to Justin Trudeau.
00:24:08.800 Should have said no
00:24:09.580 for the interest.
00:24:10.340 She's supposed to be
00:24:10.880 the head of state,
00:24:12.120 the king's representative.
00:24:14.520 And she can't make a stand
00:24:16.000 for Canada
00:24:16.540 to save her life.
00:24:18.700 No,
00:24:19.020 that was utterly disgusting
00:24:20.800 what happened there.
00:24:22.300 but
00:24:25.000 we need to bring
00:24:27.440 this government down
00:24:28.260 by March 24th
00:24:29.380 or 25th,
00:24:30.200 26th
00:24:31.160 in there.
00:24:32.380 And if the NDP
00:24:33.040 and the Bloc
00:24:34.680 supports this Trudeau
00:24:36.160 government again,
00:24:36.840 God help them.
00:24:38.600 That's all I can say.
00:24:40.840 We'll be back again
00:24:41.960 tomorrow with all the news
00:24:43.020 you need to know.
00:24:44.560 And let's continue
00:24:45.620 to resolve to resist.
00:24:47.800 Thanks for watching today.
00:24:48.960 and have a great
00:24:51.560 rest of your Wednesday.
00:24:54.480 Bye for now.
