Welcome back to another issue of Stand on Guard.
00:00:08.840
When we come back, we want to talk about Trudeau's tantrum yesterday
00:00:17.360
Plus, what was Elon Musk and Donald Trump talking about last night?
00:00:26.640
So we are in a very precarious position in this country.
00:00:30.840
We need political change, but we also need to resolve to resist.
00:00:50.220
Yeah, we're just going to linger here until we get the audience up.
00:01:02.780
So much going on in Canada, despite this being the summer.
00:01:07.300
I hope you're enjoying your August, by the way.
00:01:09.160
It's sort of the last month, the real whole month of summer,
00:01:17.560
And if you saw that little intro, please like the station and tell your family and friends
00:01:25.980
Very important you do that because it helps me continue to keep the station going because
00:01:34.460
I see people out there getting like 50,000 hits when they just play a clip.
00:01:41.580
And when I have interviews with people who have got really significant things to say,
00:01:49.180
You know, and that's that to me is evidence that I'm doing something right.
00:01:53.940
Because when you offend YouTube, when you get YouTube angry at you and they try to demonetize
00:01:59.100
you like they're always trying to do to me, you know you're doing something right and
00:02:06.840
I hope you also have a chance to read material I'm doing right now for the post-millennial.
00:02:11.080
I've recently started doing American articles for that publication.
00:02:18.300
And it's forceful media in terms of telling the truth, putting the facts out there.
00:02:23.240
And letting people decide that is what is lacking in governments around the world right
00:02:29.160
now, from the Biden government in the States, from the Trudeau government here in Canada,
00:02:32.740
from the Starmer government, Sir Keir Starmer in Great Britain.
00:02:41.920
And I want to get to this bizarre, bizarre, shall we say, news conference yesterday at a
00:02:51.860
And it's really strange because it illustrates, and we'll get to the interview in a minute,
00:02:58.640
but this is Justin Trudeau once again defending billions of dollars he spent attracting electric
00:03:17.680
These cars are going to be of absolutely no value and no purpose.
00:03:27.700
I mean, we've got this, as one of our commenters pointed out, let me, let me go to that because
00:03:37.740
I'm going to have to, I'm going to have my glasses on for this.
00:03:45.180
Disco Steve won't let Justin Trudeau put tariffs on Evie because he works for China.
00:04:01.960
You remember that commercial that Disco Steve put out?
00:04:06.540
And of course, yeah, I'm the one who started that rumor that, uh, Stephen Gilboa was an
00:04:17.440
It could be, you know, as Donald Trump likes to say, what about that?
00:04:24.780
I think it could be, could be, but Disco Steve actually put an ad out.
00:04:31.240
And he put an ad out and it, it, that's all you can call it.
00:04:36.300
It's, it's like an unpaid liberal government ad for electric vehicles.
00:04:41.580
And there's Steve showing you how you recharge them in the driver's seat, turning it on and
00:04:52.280
And then when it's 40, mine is 40 in Edmonton or Calgary or God knows Northern Ontario.
00:05:00.420
You know, when it gets to that cold, your electric vehicle ain't going to start and
00:05:07.840
We all know that it's next to impossible to find a recharging station.
00:05:12.600
They seem to be propping, cropping up around banks a lot.
00:05:17.480
So if you can find a bank with a recharging state, yeah, I think though, the, see the more
00:05:23.720
people who drive these dancings, the, the harder it's going to be to find a place because
00:05:33.600
But the real problem with electric vehicles is not just the lack of recharging stations.
00:05:39.280
And I don't think these are going to be built overnight.
00:05:42.040
It's the fact that the batteries wear out so fast.
00:05:45.600
You think your battery and your cell phone wears out fast?
00:05:48.240
I mean, you know, when this is why it's almost stupid to buy a cell phone, you might as well
00:05:55.920
lease it because it's going to be worthless in two years.
00:06:02.280
And besides that, your phone will be obsolescent.
00:06:05.800
But the point here is that the batteries not only need to be replaced with rapidity, it's
00:06:15.180
increasingly difficult to get the materials to make these batteries.
00:06:20.280
And I've said this before, and I think it's important to keep saying it.
00:06:24.060
How do we get the materials like bauxite and whatnot for these, for these phones?
00:06:29.220
We get them from Africa, largely, and child labor, and we're getting it from China, who
00:06:36.120
uses child labor in Africa to extract these minerals from the earth.
00:06:44.820
We used to hear stories about kids in the coal mines during the Industrial Revolution and
00:06:51.760
this horrible work that they were subjected to, these horrible working conditions.
00:06:55.600
And we just said, oh, that was just awful, you know, and it was, and children should never
00:07:02.780
have to be subjected to that at 12 years of age and younger.
00:07:08.180
And communist China puts these kids to work digging up these minerals for electric car
00:07:18.980
But that's exactly what we're up against in terms of the hypocrisy of a communist country
00:07:25.200
that used to rail against the excesses of capitalism and the horrible working additions induced by
00:07:32.780
And of course, Canada stands mutely by ignoring it, saying, well, we need the materials.
00:07:40.360
There's not enough of it being extracted as well.
00:07:42.860
So there's a backlog of these batteries that need to be replaced.
00:07:48.040
And for Trudeau to be investing, I hate that word, spending billions of dollars of your cash
00:07:54.540
attracting these plants to Canada so nobody will buy their cars.
00:08:03.440
Now, let's have a look at this clip here, because this is this is absolutely, absolutely classic.
00:08:12.060
But it identifies for me how and watch Doug Ford here.
00:08:20.400
But this is Justin Trudeau at its worst, at his petulant worst, having a tantrum because
00:08:26.520
the reporter says, what about these these tariffs on Chinese EVs?
00:08:32.700
Does Justin Trudeau ever answer the question about why that would be a bad idea?
00:08:37.480
No, he goes on a rant about Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives.
00:08:42.580
For the Prime Minister, last week, Steele and Aluminum CEOs and opposition leader Pierre
00:08:47.580
Polyev called for the federal government to match the U.S.'s tariffs on China.
00:08:53.840
Well, first of all, it's a bit of a joke that Polyev is suddenly talking about workers in
00:09:03.000
He has said repeatedly that he wouldn't be making these investments in our auto industry.
00:09:11.880
He wouldn't be spending taxpayer money bringing these worthless cars to Canada.
00:09:19.700
But he never he doesn't even answer the question.
00:09:22.320
Now, this is an ad hominem attack on Pierre Polyev.
00:09:31.560
Keep saying investment, investment, investment.
00:09:40.860
Building an extraordinary EV supply chain in Canada, something that we've been doing as
00:09:46.240
a government in partnership with the government of Ontario and others right across the country.
00:09:52.320
Over the past four years in a deliberate strategy, bring in Volkswagen, bring in Stellantis, invest in Honda, invest in the EV supply chain from mines to manufacturing and recycling.
00:10:09.980
Notice he keeps repeating invest, invest, invest, because you say it enough, somebody is going to buy it.
00:10:18.200
Somebody is going to accept that this really is an investment and not a waste of your money.
00:10:25.460
Now, here's the so-called conservative premier, progressive conservative, that oxymoron.
00:10:30.980
There he is in the background, standing with Trudeau, as he has so many times.
00:10:36.900
He stood with Trudeau during the Emergencies Act.
00:10:39.980
He was one of the few premiers who steadfastly and stalwartly defended Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act.
00:10:49.640
And there he is standing with Justin Trudeau again.
00:10:51.420
However, even Doug Ford realizes, as a faux conservative, that he shouldn't stand too close to Justin Trudeau because Justin Trudeau is on his way to perdition.
00:11:02.120
He's going into that pit of political disaster.
00:11:05.700
So if he gets too close to Justin Trudeau, it might rub off on him.
00:11:10.000
So he's standing just a little behind Justin Trudeau and almost allowing Justin Trudeau to block him.
00:11:16.760
But look at the face. Look at Doug Ford's face here.
00:11:21.420
It's that usual tabula rasa of that blank expression of, I don't want to look too happy about this, but I don't want to look too upset either.
00:11:37.800
And if Justin Trudeau helps me to get elected, that's good.
00:11:41.580
If Justin Trudeau hurts me from being elected again, that's bad.
00:11:45.440
So somehow I have to look like I really don't have any opinion on this.
00:11:52.840
And he nods at one point just to sort of say, hey, yeah, I'm with you, Justin.
00:12:08.040
And the federal conservatives continue to say they'd cut it all.
00:12:14.900
They don't believe in investing in Canadian workers.
00:12:18.860
So him to suddenly turn around and say, oh, we're worried about EVs.
00:12:24.380
He's looking for a political angle because that's all he does.
00:12:27.540
But in regards to the CEOs and steel manufacturers and partners in the industry, I can tell you.
00:12:34.600
For the past many months, we, alongside Minister Mary Ng, our Minister of Trade, have been working with...
00:12:42.380
You see, you've got a little bit of a nod there from Doug Ford.
00:12:52.500
Because he doesn't really look like he's there entirely, does he?
00:13:01.420
That Pierre Polyev doesn't believe in an electric vehicle.
00:13:06.660
I don't think he wants to spend billions of your dollars, tax dollars, propping up these absolutely useless ideas of Justin Trudeau.
00:13:16.400
Justin Trudeau has never had a good economic idea in his head in his life.
00:13:27.500
But he will try to convince you anyway he does have a few good ideas left, but he has none.
00:13:38.420
Why is it a bad idea to put tariffs on Chinese EVs if he's trying to support Canadian industry?
00:13:43.540
But no, this is all about, Pierre Polyev hasn't backed our so-called investment in EVs.
00:13:53.100
... stakeholders, working with community groups, working with international partners on making sure that Canada's EV advantage remains.
00:14:04.440
Canadians have invested in this future and we're going to make sure that we follow through on it.
00:14:09.540
So Polyev jumping in front of the parade or trying to is just silly.
00:14:31.420
That's what the only thing you're in the lead of.
00:14:32.940
Polyev is not trying to steal your thunder and say, hey, let's spend another billion dollars attracting this industry to Canada.
00:14:41.500
He's saying, why are we not putting tariffs on Chinese vehicles?
00:14:44.780
That is the question Justin Trudeau will not answer here.
00:14:47.900
We have stood up for Canadian workers in the auto sector.
00:14:51.360
We will continue to stand up for Canadian workers in the auto sector.
00:14:56.440
We will continue to make sure that we're using all necessary tools to drive a greener, cleaner economy,
00:15:04.360
which means great manufacturing jobs here in Canada, more opportunities for Canadians.
00:15:09.340
This is a conversation that we've been having for months and we will continue to have to make sure these investments we're making,
00:15:16.260
that Polyev would cut, are well protected for the future.
00:15:35.980
I don't know if he puts the same amount of insincerity into that as he put into the English response.
00:15:41.260
But there's Doug Ford, of course, staring ahead blankly again, not knowing what his face should reveal.
00:15:52.500
And that but that is what our democracy has come down to, hasn't it?
00:15:56.420
And Justin Trudeau never even getting around to answering that question.
00:16:00.960
I don't even know if he realized there was a question about tariffs there because it was just gave him an opportunity to rant and rave
00:16:09.160
about how evil Pierre Polyev is and how evil the conservatives are for not wanting to spend your tax dollars on his so-called investments.
00:16:17.780
I know all of you viewers out there are as sick as I am of hearing about government investments.
00:16:25.900
And here's here's here's another news item I just I just find absolutely fascinating because where where have you seen this one before?
00:16:34.000
New Human Rights Commissioner resigns before starting a role.
00:16:37.160
How many times? And this is a Burju Datani, who, of course, was under fire from day one in his job
00:16:45.100
because of statements he made on social media about Israel that apparently they're saying anti-Israel.
00:16:52.780
I don't know if they can be defined or characterized as anti-Semitic.
00:16:57.580
But he's in he's in he's in he's in incredible trouble again and finally admits, OK, I can't stay.
00:17:10.660
This has happened so many times in this Trudeau government.
00:17:14.080
They hire somebody for a human rights position that has a record that as long as their arm of violating somebody else's human rights.
00:17:22.720
Why do we even need a human rights commissioner?
00:17:26.160
Of course, we don't, because believe me, they're not concerned with your human rights.
00:17:30.720
They're concerned with the special few in this country that still have something called human rights.
00:17:41.000
So if you think for a minute, how many times has Justin Trudeau put his foot in his mouth, hired people with incredibly spotty records on human rights and put them in human rights positions?
00:17:56.880
Happens all the time. Happens all the time in this government.
00:18:00.480
But this is a government that just doesn't care.
00:18:03.560
And that is probably the the one thing about Justin Trudeau.
00:18:17.020
Was it 15? No, nine years now as as prime minister.
00:18:24.960
And that rant and rave in Napanee, it was a mixture.
00:18:30.880
I was just on my friend Mark Patron's radio station this morning talking about this.
00:18:37.380
And Mark described this as a mixture of fear and anger.
00:18:42.320
You can see the fear in Justin Trudeau there that he's afraid he's going down.
00:18:46.820
He's going down to defeat in the next election, if there is a next election.
00:18:50.200
But he could be removed sooner than that by a very angry caucus.
00:18:54.380
And believe me, the liberal caucus might not be as angry as you or I about how incompetent Justin Trudeau is.
00:19:05.860
And I thank my my good listeners and viewers for pointing this out to me the other day.
00:19:11.320
It's not just that Justin Trudeau exhibits poor leadership.
00:19:25.560
But what I think I said to Mark, what you're missing here, Mark, is it's not just fear.
00:19:37.120
He doesn't believe a word he's saying about being out there fighting for this, being with it,
00:19:44.980
All he does is just tack together the same pat phrases he's been using for his whole political career and hope somebody actually believes it.
00:20:00.500
I hope all of you had a chance to watch the interview with Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
00:20:08.900
And it's going to be, I think, rebroadcast all over the place today.
00:20:12.340
There's probably going to be a billion people around the world watch this interview and perhaps more.
00:20:22.400
And this is because people are sick to death of these small minded, incompetent little pipsqueaks like Justin Trudeau and Keir Starmer and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris taking our rights away, taking our free speech away.
00:20:47.880
I know he's sometimes not done the right thing, but in buying X, he did the right thing.
00:20:54.340
And he has made that the freest social media platform out there.
00:21:04.740
And for the interview last night, I think the best part that came out of this.
00:21:09.380
Elon Musk volunteered to serve on a government efficiency committee to rein in wasteful spending if Trump is elected.
00:21:15.960
That alone is a good reason for Donald Trump to be elected.
00:21:25.240
Because finally, somebody's saying we've got to keep an eye.
00:21:30.000
We've got to register how these bureaucrats are spending your money.
00:21:34.040
So on Canada, we've got Justin Trudeau spending billions of dollars on so-called investments that his friends are benefiting from.
00:21:41.720
We have Elon Musk saying we've got to rein in this government spending because it it is absolutely ludicrous.
00:21:49.580
We don't even know why it's being spent half the time on infrastructure projects that are not infrastructure projects.
00:21:56.460
That's been the experience in the United States.
00:22:04.900
But that, to me, was the most significant part of this interview is Elon Musk even talking about an efficiency committee.
00:22:12.060
Because believe me, what's happening in the United States right now, the mainstream media wants Kamala Harris to win desperately.
00:22:18.300
They want a continuation of the Biden-Harris regime.
00:22:23.460
This is why Kamala Harris, who was the most unpopular vice president in history, is now being presented as an economic genius.
00:22:33.640
Yet she appears to be an extra from that movie Clueless, if you recall that she's she would have been just perfectly at home in that milieu.
00:22:43.300
This is somebody who couldn't put a sentence together, who said, well, yeah, let's talk about inflation.
00:22:49.420
I know what inflation is. It's when you go to the store and the price of butter is higher than it was last week.
00:22:55.140
It's when you go to the gas station and the price of gas is higher than it was a week ago.
00:22:59.680
Yeah, she really understands inflation, but she had no conception about what to do about it.
00:23:04.380
Maybe it had something to do with the trillions of dollars the Biden administration flooded the economy with spending money on their friends.
00:23:18.380
But no, now suddenly I let's be honest about it.
00:23:23.340
That's her answer to inflation is to recognize it exists.
00:23:28.260
So, my God, I hope I know Americans are going to see through this charade, this mirage that they that the mainstream media is creating, that Kamala Harris somehow has something to offer.
00:23:40.920
She has nothing to offer except word salads, nothing to offer except the same silly phrases that she repeats endlessly every time she has an opportunity.
00:23:56.960
I think it's artificial intelligence doing this.
00:23:59.000
I think this is about creating a false narrative so people will actually consider voting and creating more disaster.
00:24:15.180
That's why Canada is disintegrating under Justin Trudeau.
00:24:18.480
And that's why the United States let in up to 40 million illegals under Joe Biden.
00:24:24.820
It's about disintegrating national borders, about disintegrating national economies, about destroying nations so the globalists can pick up the pieces and say, we're in charge.
00:24:42.460
Anyway, I want to thank you so much for watching today.
00:24:49.260
I'm going to be back again every day this week talking about the issues that matter to you.
00:24:54.080
And by the way, I'm going to have Kamal El Shaikh on the show either on Friday or on the weekend to discuss the next million person march.
00:25:05.160
That's going to take place in Ottawa and across the country to fight gender ideology in the schools.
00:25:11.020
Thank God some people are focused on the right things and aren't being played by the globalists to focus on things that we can't change.
00:25:21.200
And I'm going to be talking about that later in the week.
