Stand on Guard with David Krayden - Trump and Putin SHOCK the World ｜ Stand on Guard

00:00:00.000 Sorry, we had some mic problems there.

00:00:18.520 Welcome aboard.

00:00:19.360 This is David Creighton welcoming you to Stand on Guard.

00:00:22.520 It's Saturday, 16th of August.

00:00:23.980 Beautiful day here in the Ottawa area.

00:00:26.000 And stand by.

00:00:26.920 Today, we've got some interesting news to report out of Hamilton.

00:00:31.880 And the work.

00:00:35.500 The Prime Minister lied and his minions continue to lie.

00:00:44.780 We need it.

00:00:47.080 But it's a change.

00:00:50.240 But we also need to resolve to resist.

00:00:56.920 You may all recall the former leader of the Ontario NDP, Andrea Horwitz, who is now the mayor of Hamilton.

00:01:12.460 Hamilton.

00:01:13.140 All of these bad things come from Hamilton.

00:01:16.560 Many, many cases.

00:01:18.080 Sheila Copps came from Hamilton.

00:01:19.660 But, of course, a local group just wanted to make a statement here.

00:01:26.240 And, you know, I find this absolutely incredible.

00:01:30.160 This is a billboard in question.

00:01:32.980 And, of course, what is it asking?

00:01:36.280 Well, I'm sorry if you can't see this any better than I can.

00:01:38.660 This is simply a billboard that's making a claim about how incredibly barbaric so-called gender-affirming care can be.

00:01:57.300 Well, let's have a look at Andrew Horwitz.

00:02:07.560 Excuse me.

00:02:08.220 I'm having some mouse problems there.

00:02:09.660 Here we go.

00:02:14.060 And this, of course.

00:02:18.140 Statement from Mayor Andrew Horwitz regarding unacceptable content on billboard near Lincoln M. Alexander Highway.

00:02:25.540 This afternoon, my office was made aware of a transphobic ad on a billboard along the link.

00:02:33.060 Well, a billboard is not city-owned.

00:02:34.800 It sits on city lease base, and city advertising rules were not followed.

00:02:39.760 We've directed astral media to remove it and put stronger safeguards in place.

00:02:46.260 Hate-related incidents are on the rise in Hamilton.

00:02:49.560 Oh, get off it! 1.00

00:02:51.520 And, no, she didn't say that.

00:02:52.620 I did.

00:02:52.920 In 2024, members of the 2SLGBTQ, is that 1A or IA+, who, God, knows any more.

00:03:03.020 Humanity, we're among the most frequently targeted nonsense.

00:03:06.360 But we are also a community that will not stand by when confronted by hate.

00:03:13.080 I certainly will not.

00:03:15.560 Love will always be louder.

00:03:17.480 Oh, and, of course, she's got a lot of pushback on that from people saying this is BS.

00:03:26.680 Can you tell—I've got one question for Andrea Horwitz.

00:03:32.440 Can you tell me, Andrea, Mayor, what is so loving about mutilating young children?

00:03:40.920 Can you tell me that?

00:03:43.680 What is so loving about that?

00:03:46.900 And I'm sorry, I can't see—I'm going to revisit that later and tell you exactly what it says.

00:03:53.560 Because that's a terrible shot of it.

00:03:55.760 But I will revisit that and tell you exactly what that sign says and why it's hateful, I don't know.

00:04:00.760 Because there's no such thing as gender-affirming care when it relates to mutilating children.

00:04:08.840 It's barbaric.

00:04:10.480 I think we all know that.

00:04:13.140 Here's some other notables in the news here.

00:04:17.260 I love this.

00:04:19.400 If this is on your cop cars—this, of course, is the latest pride flag. 0.97

00:04:24.600 It just keeps getting more garish and outlandish every day.

00:04:27.760 Crime is going up if this is on your cop cars.

00:04:30.800 If it's flying over your city hall, overdoses are at a record high.

00:04:35.800 If it's in your hospital ER, wait time is at least eight hours.

00:04:40.800 Just something I've noticed.

00:04:42.240 Tristan Hopper, who, of course, writes for the National Post.

00:04:46.080 I had him on my show a couple of months back.

00:04:50.220 So true.

00:04:53.140 I mean, this flag should be called the identity politics flag.

00:04:57.760 That's all it is.

00:04:58.920 Look how they marginalize people.

00:05:01.760 This is all it's about.

00:05:03.360 It's a marginalization play.

00:05:04.780 Instead of everybody being equal under the law, increasingly we are seeing the pride flag raised everywhere like it's a national emblem.

00:05:13.100 Now, I ask you.

00:05:15.500 Now, I ask you this in all seriousness.

00:05:17.440 And I discussed this yesterday with my guest, Matt Alexander, who, of course, was an Ontario teacher, fired for being the father of Josh Alexander, a student who opposed boys using girls' bathrooms at his high school.

00:05:32.260 He was kicked out of school, told not to come back, for taking a stand on that.

00:05:36.920 Matt was fired for being the father of Matt Alexander and for being suspected of being transphobic.

00:05:44.600 And his wife was fired from her teaching position for refusing to participate or promote gay pride events during so-called June pride month.

00:05:58.420 Absolute, absolute nonsense.

00:06:01.280 But my question to Matt yesterday, and he could see this happening, churches will one day be forced to fly the pride flag or be denied tax-exempt status.

00:06:11.920 These will be like Soviet-style churches that essentially sell their souls to the state or sell the souls of their parishioners or their congregations to the state so they can continue to get money or continue to get tax-exempt status or continue to collect, I suppose, from their congregation.

00:06:34.040 Do you think that's not going to happen?

00:06:35.420 Of course it will.

00:06:36.160 We all have Soviet-style churches in Canada within the next five years, I predict. 0.90

00:06:41.060 Unless we push back harder and stronger and faster than we are right now.

00:06:45.920 Because it's happening before our eyes.

00:06:50.760 The pride flag has become another national flag.

00:06:55.440 It's flown from Parliament, the office of the Prime Minister.

00:07:01.940 There's a flag dedicating ceremony every year in front of Parliament Hill.

00:07:06.160 Schools across the nation are forced to fly it or else.

00:07:10.180 This is why Leave Our Kids Alone, the campaign that I support, led by Camille L. Shaikh, says, hands off our kids.

00:07:20.160 Stop forcing our kids.

00:07:21.460 And they have, of course, been instrumental in getting some of these pride-raising ceremonies stopped at public schools.

00:07:28.660 And that's what we need to do.

00:07:32.000 And the Million Person March is on again next month here in Ottawa.

00:07:35.760 Be there.

00:07:36.840 I'm going to start promoting that event.

00:07:38.640 It's going to be a day of unity for people of all faiths to say, leave my children alone.

00:07:44.860 And we're going to be reminding Pierre Polyev that he once said his government would be a government that says, I'm not going to interfere in your lives.

00:07:57.080 Mind your own business, government.

00:07:58.580 Remember him saying that?

00:08:00.140 Yeah.

00:08:00.580 He said it again recently.

00:08:01.600 He needs to say it every day because that's why people are going to get off their seats, go out their front doors and vote conservative.

00:08:09.040 If Pierre Polyev starts to talk like a principled conservative who believes the government should be limited in its growth and in its powers and that individuals matter, we have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.

00:08:23.860 That's what makes a country great.

00:08:27.400 This is my friend Arupa Subrayama, one wonderful writer.

00:08:32.780 Love her posts on X.

00:08:34.720 She's saying, you know, the city of Mississauga put out a notice that they raised the flag of India.

00:08:43.700 Now, I think Arupa is a Canadian, is an Indo-Canadian.

00:08:48.140 And so this is more powerful coming from Arupa.

00:08:51.560 And she's saying, why?

00:08:53.360 I can't think of a single city in India that raises a foreign flag on their national day.

00:09:02.180 Do you think, I don't know, do you think a city in India would raise the Canadian flag on July 1st?

00:09:11.400 Why?

00:09:12.500 Any more than they'd raise the Union Jack anymore. 1.00

00:09:15.840 No, it's absolute crap. 0.99

00:09:19.780 But that's where this country has gone. 0.99

00:09:22.660 And to me, it's incredible.

00:09:25.840 This from Andy Lee.

00:09:28.120 My good friend Andy Lee, who was a big supporter of the Convoy.

00:09:34.600 Here she is saying, here's your pride dollars at work.

00:09:39.360 You say you didn't know you had pride dollars working anywhere.

00:09:42.360 Yes, the federal government is seizing your money,

00:09:45.220 seizing your taxes, and spending it on these pride projects.

00:09:51.320 Not-for-profit organization or charity.

00:09:54.220 Agreement.

00:09:54.780 Generating 2SLGBTQI+.

00:09:59.320 Inclusion in the Canadian electricity sector.

00:10:02.860 Now that's a very important objective, isn't it?

00:10:07.720 Agreement number.

00:10:08.580 Yes, from January 6th, 2025 to March 31st, 2027.

00:10:16.600 Yes, through this 27-month project,

00:10:19.560 Pride at Work Canada will address the needs and barriers to,

00:10:24.000 yes, I'm not going to say it again,

00:10:26.320 this identity group in the electricity sector.

00:10:31.000 Incredible.

00:10:32.380 Now, I want to get to the next segment of the show here.

00:10:34.900 And I've already had some comments.

00:10:36.180 I really find this a little odd.

00:10:38.580 Shall we say, strange.

00:10:40.460 People telling me that peace is a bad thing?

00:10:44.340 Because some suggestion that Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin

00:10:48.680 represent the Antichrist for wanting peace?

00:10:52.980 Sorry.

00:10:54.640 Peace is always a good thing.

00:10:56.060 I know we're never going to have lasting peace

00:10:57.880 until the Prince of Peace returns.

00:10:59.660 Yeah, I know that.

00:11:03.320 I've read the Bible.

00:11:04.420 I know that.

00:11:05.440 But there's nothing wrong with stopping the wars right now

00:11:07.820 that are killing millions of, literally, millions of people.

00:11:11.600 We should be supporting this.

00:11:13.280 Not saying, oh, that's the Antichrist if we stop wars.

00:11:16.880 No, it's not.

00:11:17.620 It's common sense.

00:11:19.020 And it's depriving the military-industrial establishment

00:11:22.220 of billions of, tens of billions of dollars.

00:11:24.900 That's what this is all about.

00:11:27.040 So I want to show a couple of clips here from the Alaska summit.

00:11:34.060 And I've got to toot my own horn for a second here.

00:11:37.420 I wrote this for Human Events on Thursday.

00:11:40.940 This is my column on Human Events.

00:11:42.660 Now, the last time I talked about Donald Trump as the peace president,

00:11:45.880 I said this is a great opportunity for him to solve the situation

00:11:50.500 in the Middle East and not bomb Iran.

00:11:52.360 And, of course, the next day, what did he do?

00:11:54.520 He bombed Iran. 1.00

00:11:55.780 So I looked like I had some egg on my face.

00:11:58.620 This time I think I'm right.

00:12:00.980 I said, David Craig, Anchorage Accords would be a triumph of peace for Trump.

00:12:05.580 And I think he's on the right track.

00:12:07.380 Just getting people together talking is good news.

00:12:10.300 Just having Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in the same room talking about peace is a good thing.

00:12:17.180 Because during four years of Joe Biden, Joe Biden didn't even talk to Vladimir Putin on the phone,

00:12:24.240 let alone have a summit in Alaska.

00:12:26.960 And, of course, Vladimir Putin invites Donald Trump to continue the talks next time in Moscow.

00:12:32.800 When's the last time that happened?

00:12:34.460 I don't even think Ronald Reagan traveled to Moscow in his negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev,

00:12:44.620 who was General Secretary of the Communist Party during those years and the leader of the Soviet Union.

00:12:50.900 The last president to travel to Moscow was Richard Milhouse Nixon,

00:12:55.760 when he engineered detente between America, the United States, and the Soviet Union.

00:13:01.280 That was the last U.S. president to go there.

00:13:05.420 So, this is incredible.

00:13:08.320 I want to show this here.

00:13:12.000 So, this is really a feel-out meeting, a little bit.

00:13:16.640 And President Putin invited me to get involved.

00:13:21.280 He wants to get involved.

00:13:22.380 I think, I believe he wants to get it over with.

00:13:24.500 Now, I've said that a few times.

00:13:26.560 And I've been disappointed.

00:13:28.480 Because I'd have, like, a great call with him.

00:13:30.440 And then missiles would be lobbed into Kiev or some other place.

00:13:33.620 And you'd have 60 people laying on a road dying.

00:13:37.480 I said, that's cold.

00:13:38.840 That's cold.

00:13:39.660 But it's a violent war.

00:13:42.680 Five to 7,000 people a week are dying.

00:13:45.300 And, you know, there's nobody from here.

00:13:48.440 They're all Russian and Ukrainian people.

00:13:50.540 And some people from the city.

00:13:52.080 It's a much smaller number.

00:13:53.040 But still, those missiles do damage and they kill a lot of people.

00:13:57.440 But mostly soldiers.

00:13:59.800 And they're young soldiers.

00:14:02.220 Although, in the case of Ukraine, they're getting much older.

00:14:04.360 They're drafting 60-year-olds now.

00:14:06.380 It's a terrible thing to witness.

00:14:09.600 And I think I have an obligation.

00:14:11.600 Look, this is Joe Biden's war.

00:14:13.360 This is not my war.

00:14:15.100 I made a deal with NATO a month ago.

00:14:17.800 You covered it very accurately, actually.

00:14:19.560 We don't pay anything anymore.

00:14:21.560 You know, we're not paying anything.

00:14:23.180 They are buying things from us.

00:14:24.840 And NATO is paying us.

00:14:26.060 I got it raised from 2% of GDP to 5%.

00:14:29.940 And they're paying us for everything that we send.

00:14:33.560 We're not paying.

00:14:34.460 But Biden approved $350 billion.

00:14:37.480 Europe has spent $100 billion.

00:14:40.340 The money that's been spent and the death is incredible.

00:14:43.500 It's the worst thing that's happened.

00:14:44.780 By far, the worst that's happened since World War II.

00:14:48.200 So I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin.

00:14:52.500 And I'm going to be telling him, you've got to end this war. 0.95

00:14:55.020 You've got to end it.

00:14:56.720 And he wasn't going to mess with me.

00:14:58.700 This war would have never happened.

00:15:01.340 You know, we had a discussion about it one time.

00:15:03.340 And we never had that discussion again.

00:15:04.920 Would have never happened.

00:15:06.500 And when the election was rigged and then Biden took office,

00:15:10.460 which was barely took office, the auto pen took office,

00:15:14.860 bad things started happening. 1.00

00:15:16.540 Bad things, stupid things were said. 0.98

00:15:18.540 And it ended up in a war. 0.98

00:15:20.160 And, you know, the big, and I don't believe this will happen anymore

00:15:23.660 because I have that pretty well covered.

00:15:26.420 This could end up in a third world war.

00:15:28.100 This could have been a third world war.

00:15:29.500 I don't think that's going to happen now.

00:15:30.760 But I thought it was very respectful that the president of Russia is coming to our country

00:15:39.220 as opposed to us going to his country or even a third party place.

00:15:44.180 But I think we'll have construction.

00:15:48.860 We'll probably see you again very soon.

00:15:51.840 Thank you very much, Vladimir.

00:15:52.980 And next time in Moscow.

00:15:56.260 Oh, that's an interesting one.

00:15:58.000 Well, thank you very much, Mr. President.

00:16:00.460 That was very profound.

00:16:02.860 And I will say that I believe we had a very productive meeting.

00:16:06.580 There were many, many points that we agreed on.

00:16:09.660 Most of them, I would say.

00:16:10.860 A couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there.

00:16:14.920 But we've made some headway.

00:16:17.460 So there's no deal until there's a deal.

00:16:20.380 I will call up NATO in a little while.

00:16:23.520 I will call up the various people that I think are appropriate.

00:16:28.140 And I'll, of course, call up President Zelensky and tell them about today's meeting.

00:16:31.860 It's ultimately up to them.

00:16:34.340 They're going to have to agree with what Marco and Steve and some of the great people from the Trump administration

00:16:41.660 who have come here, Scott and I want to interject here and say that if you read the mainstream media,

00:16:54.920 this was a huge failure.

00:16:56.600 Just incredible.

00:16:57.500 Thank you very much.

00:16:59.320 But we have some of our really great leaders.

00:17:02.280 They've been doing a phenomenal job.

00:17:04.380 We also have some tremendous Russian business representatives here.

00:17:09.240 And I think, you know, everybody wants to deal with us.

00:17:12.260 We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world in a very short period of time.

00:17:15.860 And we look forward to that.

00:17:18.440 We look forward to dealing.

00:17:19.540 We're going to try and get this over with.

00:17:21.720 We really made some great progress today.

00:17:26.340 I've always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin, with Vladimir.

00:17:32.040 We had many, many tough meetings, good meetings.

00:17:38.420 We were interfered with by the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. 0.55

00:17:42.560 It made it a little bit tougher to deal with, but he understood it.

00:17:46.060 I think he's probably seen things like that during the course of his career.

00:17:50.960 He's seen it all.

00:17:53.320 But we had to put up with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

00:17:56.120 He knew it was a hoax, and I knew it was a hoax.

00:17:58.220 But what was done was very criminal.

00:18:00.420 But it made it harder for us to deal as a country in terms of the business and all of it.

00:18:04.380 Okay, so why are the reporters presenting this as a failure?

00:18:08.260 Because they didn't get to ask any questions after the news conference.

00:18:13.620 So therefore, it was a failure.

00:18:15.780 I think this is as close to success as Donald Trump has gotten since he was president to stopping the war in Ukraine.

00:18:24.600 And he's a lot closer than Joe Biden even wanted to be.

00:18:27.380 The things that we'd like to have dealt with, but we'll have a good chance when this is over.

00:18:34.080 So just to put it very quickly, I'm going to start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened.

00:18:40.260 But we had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to.

00:18:46.300 There are just a very few that are left.

00:18:49.980 Some are not that significant.

00:18:51.540 One is probably the most significant, but we have a very good chance of getting there.

00:18:56.780 We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.

00:18:59.480 I would like to thank President Putin and his entire team, whose faces, who I know in many cases,

00:19:06.000 otherwise, other than that, whose faces I get to see all the time in the newspapers.

00:19:11.200 You're very, you're almost as famous as the boss, but especially this one right over here.

00:19:17.480 But we had some good meetings over the years, right?

00:19:20.640 Good, productive meetings over the years, and we hope to have that in the future.

00:19:24.620 But let's do the most productive one right now.

00:19:26.700 We're going to stop really five, six, seven thousand, thousands of people a week from being killed.

00:19:32.680 And President Putin wants to see that as much as I do.

00:19:35.640 So again, Mr. President, I'd like to thank you very much.

00:19:39.280 And we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon.

00:19:43.620 Thank you very much, Vladimir.

00:19:45.480 Next time in Moscow.

00:19:48.020 Oh, that's an interesting one.

00:19:49.760 I don't know.

00:19:50.200 I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening.

00:19:54.640 Thank you very much, Vladimir.

00:19:55.800 And thank you all.

00:19:56.940 Thank you.

00:19:57.820 Thank you.

00:19:58.600 Thank you so much.

00:20:01.420 They depart the stage.

00:20:03.020 And of course, it's interesting, though, to say that Vladimir Putin said that in English.

00:20:07.240 That is incredible.

00:20:08.320 There's a rapport between these two men.

00:20:11.320 And we need that rapport so we don't go walk into the Third World War, which was a real possibility and remains one. 0.84

00:20:19.700 We need to be vigilant, not just walk, sleepwalk into a war.

00:20:24.500 You know, and it makes me laugh at the UK, Keir Starmer.

00:20:28.520 And by the way, I was thinking the other day, the UK needs more Benny.

00:20:33.620 No, not my friend Benny Johnson.

00:20:35.500 I'm going to show you a clip from Benny in a second.

00:20:37.240 More Benny Hill, because they take themselves so seriously now.

00:20:42.640 British people used to know how to laugh at themselves. 0.99

00:20:45.880 They used to take life not quite so seriously.

00:20:49.040 British comedy is legendary.

00:20:51.280 Fawlty Towers.

00:20:53.280 Yeah.

00:20:53.560 Benny Hill.

00:20:54.160 I'm thinking L-O-L-O. 0.99

00:21:00.160 All of these on the buses, all of these shows over the years that were really funny.

00:21:05.300 And Brits don't know how to be funny anymore. 1.00

00:21:08.260 They don't have to laugh at themselves.

00:21:09.140 All they know is how to lock people up, throw them in jail for what they write on social media.

00:21:14.800 Thousands of people have been jailed in the UK for a social media post.

00:21:18.460 It's absolutely insane.

00:21:19.780 This is the home of the Magna Carta.

00:21:21.640 It's a country that invented free speech.

00:21:23.840 It's now become one of the most authoritarian countries in the world under Keir Starmer, who wants to have a war with Russia. 0.97

00:21:29.960 And Donald Trump is pushing back and saying, are you crazy? 0.62

00:21:36.260 The UK couldn't fight Poland. 1.00

00:21:39.660 The UK is incapable of even defending itself.

00:21:43.340 Now, it doesn't own its own nuclear weapons.

00:21:45.780 And I encourage you, if you ever watch Mark Felton, he's a great historian on YouTube.

00:21:51.800 He's done a lot of shows.

00:21:52.800 I don't mind plugging Mark because he does wonderful work.

00:21:56.460 He picks up subject matter that nobody else has touched.

00:22:00.400 He finds documents that nobody else is on Earth.

00:22:02.940 And he does a lot of great historical projects, pieces on this.

00:22:08.000 One of the things he did recently was to demonstrate the UK doesn't even own its own nuclear weapons.

00:22:13.180 They lease them, lease them, rent them from the United States.

00:22:17.180 And when they need anything fixed, they have to send, literally send them back to the United States.

00:22:22.160 The UK has more horses than tanks in their army.

00:22:28.260 The UK has more admirals than battleships.

00:22:32.780 The Royal Navy used to be the biggest Navy in the world, the biggest Navy of all time, actually.

00:22:37.320 In 1914, the largest Navy in history, larger than the U.S. Navy is today.

00:22:43.140 It's now a shell.

00:22:44.160 It's been hollowed out after years of cutbacks and indifference from conservative and labor governments.

00:22:52.080 This is not the Great Britain of Margaret Thatcher or even Winston Churchill.

00:22:56.360 And if the Brits won another war, what did the last two do for them?

00:23:01.560 The First World War destroyed the British Empire and set the country into a state of almost permanent financial woe.

00:23:10.220 The Second World War permanently bankrupted Great Britain and made them dependent on the United States for the next seven decades.

00:23:22.840 That's what wars have done for Great Britain.

00:23:25.720 The only country that really profit from the Second World War, if you don't look at Soviet expansionism, the Soviet Union suffered greatly from that war.

00:23:36.180 Yes, they grabbed a lot of land after it, but they suffered greatly with tens of millions of casualties, fatalities.

00:23:43.940 The United States and Canada were the only countries of benefit from the Second World War in a big way because it brought us out of the Depression with job creation, building all these armaments, all these aircraft, all these ships.

00:23:55.240 And, of course, we were untouched by the bombing.

00:24:00.400 Certainly not the case for all of occupied Europe or Great Britain or the Soviet Union.

00:24:05.160 They all suffered greatly from that war.

00:24:06.940 So if Great Britain thinks this is a way, or France, Emmanuel Macron, President Emmanuel Macron, if he thinks this is a way to make people forget what they've done to their economies,

00:24:16.620 to make people forget what net zero has done to these countries, just start a war, well, it's going to be catastrophic for both of these countries, just like the last two were catastrophic for both of these countries.

00:24:29.000 And they are not going to benefit.

00:24:32.120 Let's watch this clip from Benny Johnson, because I have said it several times, and I stand corrected.

00:24:39.980 I have said several times Donald Trump was greatly exaggerating or perhaps even spinning a fib when he claimed the Russia-Ukraine war would never have happened if he was president.

00:24:52.540 And I said, I don't think that's true.

00:24:55.260 I'm wrong.

00:24:56.580 Vladimir Putin yesterday in Alaska confirmed Donald Trump's story.

00:25:01.360 There is something really remarkable that happened here, which is Vladimir Putin just confirmed one of Trump's biggest campaign talking points.

00:25:10.000 You remember Donald Trump would constantly say if he were president, there would be no Ukraine war.

00:25:14.140 Commander-in-chief, if that's what you call him, that we've ever had.

00:25:17.740 They can't stand him.

00:25:18.840 So let's get that straight.

00:25:20.420 And they like me more than just about any of them.

00:25:23.000 And that's based on every single bit of information.

00:25:25.900 As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, the president that knew, that was respected by Putin, he would have never, he would have never invaded Ukraine.

00:25:36.240 So Donald Trump says this, libs make fun of Trump for saying this, and then Putin comes out and says this.

00:25:44.140 I remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that this situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities.

00:26:05.440 And I said it quite directly back then, that it's a big mistake.

00:26:10.980 Today, when President Trump saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war, and I'm quite sure that it would indeed be so. 0.92

00:26:19.720 I can confirm that.

00:26:21.860 I think that overall, me and President Trump have built a very good, business-like and trustworthy contact.

00:26:29.860 And I have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can come, and the sooner the better.

00:26:40.140 So, Putin confirms that there would have been no war if Donald Trump had been in office.

00:26:48.200 Yes, there, Putin confirmed it.

00:26:58.480 That's incredible.

00:27:00.300 So, you know, I have been not quite believing that over the last couple of years.

00:27:06.740 But, hey, Vladimir says so.

00:27:09.240 So, obviously, he would know.

00:27:11.100 He's the guy that, hey, did Ukraine because of NATO, because of what was happening in eastern provinces.

00:27:17.000 There were reasons, yes.

00:27:18.360 But he's the guy that entered Ukraine.

00:27:20.700 So, I think he'd know.

00:27:22.060 I want to show you a little clip here from U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hextra.

00:27:28.100 And I am endeavoring to have Mr. Hextra on the phone.

00:27:31.520 I'm sorry, on the show next week in some format, whether it's an interview or I'm hoping to do that.

00:27:39.200 And so that is my wish.

00:27:41.360 He's been doing a lot of media lately, including one podcast.

00:27:46.780 But he's been doing global.

00:27:48.120 He's done CTV, done CBC, done CBC, done CBC, doing a lot of media.

00:27:51.540 And the point he's trying to make is that Canada is the one violating the USMCA, which is the United States-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement.

00:28:01.180 Or, as some Canadians call it, Kuzma.

00:28:04.940 I don't really think that's entered popular usage yet.

00:28:10.140 But the ambassador is saying Canada is the one putting tariffs on goods that should be protected by the Free Trade Agreement, not the United States.

00:28:20.120 So is Mark Carney deliberately fomenting bad relations with Washington?

00:28:25.620 Is he deliberately trying to create a trade war by violating the USMCA and perhaps canceling its renewal?

00:28:37.000 He's pointing at Donald Trump, but he's the one up to no good.

00:28:40.680 Let's listen to this.

00:28:41.560 You know, some Canadian politicians have decided that they will attack the president personally.

00:28:50.020 They will attack people on his economic team, his negotiating team.

00:28:56.080 They will attack them personally, not on the policy, but them personally.

00:29:01.160 Again, that is a Canadian decision.

00:29:03.260 All we do is respond to it.

00:29:04.900 But the Canadians have indicated that, you know, by imposing as a retaliatory tariff, you know, they put some in place.

00:29:16.300 But then they also started putting tariffs on Kuzma products, products that are protected under the Canadian-USM-Mexico trade agreement.

00:29:26.220 We haven't done that.

00:29:27.240 But Canada has decided that, you know, that's fair game.

00:29:29.860 We will, you know, call into question Kuzma.

00:29:33.100 Again, that is a Canadian decision.

00:29:35.260 You can do that.

00:29:36.620 You've called into question the military alliance, which has worked so successfully for 40 to 50 years.

00:29:44.840 We are thrilled that the Canadians are, you know, signed on to the NATO agreement to move to 5%.

00:29:52.640 It looks like Canada, by the end of this year, may be spending at a 2% rate, which is a number that was agreed on way back in 2014.

00:30:02.840 But we're very thankful and appreciative of the moves that the Kearney government is making in that area.

00:30:11.280 But at the same time, we get mixed signals.

00:30:13.720 You're buying 16 F-35s?

00:30:16.220 Great.

00:30:16.620 So this is where I think this interview is really salient, if you follow defense policy, because it was never clear to me where the F-35 contract began and ended.

00:30:30.100 So we have committed to buying 16, which, of course, is not enough to outfit any Air Force anywhere in the world.

00:30:36.520 So we're going to follow through with the 16.

00:30:39.280 It's the remainder that are up in the air.

00:30:42.660 So what the ambassador says here is that Canada is going to end up with two fighter jets?

00:30:47.800 Impossible for an Air Force the size of Canada's.

00:30:51.840 It won't function.

00:30:53.100 You can't have two different fighter jets for an Air Force.

00:30:55.560 You have to focus on one jet because of maintenance and because of operational readiness and because of interoperability, of course, with your allies.

00:31:04.000 These are things I've been saying for literally decades now.

00:31:08.040 But why the F-35 is the right choice?

00:31:10.200 Simply because all of our principal allies fly the same aircraft.

00:31:13.500 And we can't now have two different ones.

00:31:15.940 This is insanity.

00:31:17.260 Two have been put on hold, maybe canceled.

00:31:20.640 Really don't know what the status of the next 72 are.

00:31:24.440 Bottom line is Canada can't afford two different fighters, an F-35.

00:31:30.240 I mean, maintaining any particular kind of aircraft is very expensive.

00:31:35.160 Having two different versions basically filling the same niche in your defense portfolio gets to be very expensive.

00:31:42.340 These are all things that, you know, have to be worked through as we move forward.

00:31:47.820 So lots to unpack there.

00:31:49.500 Oh, yeah.

00:31:50.280 Let's start with Kuzma, though.

00:31:51.420 Yeah.

00:31:51.780 When the tariffs first came in, Donald Trump had no exemption for free trade goods.

00:31:56.100 That changed a couple of days after, in particular, thanks to market reaction.

00:32:00.240 Okay, I might get back to that.

00:32:02.560 But I wanted to clarify one thing for you folks, because I literally could not read this sign.

00:32:08.320 So I had to consult with some reference.

00:32:11.420 What the sign said, stop medical transitions for minors.

00:32:16.260 That was deemed to be hate speech by the mayor of Hamilton, Andrea Horkworth.

00:32:21.840 And that was deemed to be hate speech by the mayor.

00:32:25.080 So I find that just incredible.

00:32:29.640 But that's just a clarification for you.

00:32:33.240 When I come back, I want to play a bit of a message from Pierre Polyev.

00:32:38.480 Let's see how he's doing in the by-election, which I look on my calendar.

00:32:44.380 It's Monday.

00:32:45.100 It's coming up Monday.

00:32:47.280 We're two days away.

00:32:48.800 16th, 17th, 18th.

00:32:49.740 Yes, August 18th.

00:32:51.480 So I'm going to show you my merchandise message, and I'll be back with some words from Pierre Polyev.

00:32:55.820 I'm going to show you my merchandise message, and I'll be back with some words from Pierre Polyev.

00:33:25.820 I'm going to show you my merchandise message, and I'll be back with some words from Pierre Polyev.

00:33:55.820 Yes, some great merchandise.

00:34:05.720 I think that's some of the best merchandise out there on podcasts.

00:34:09.840 Unfortunately, you can't buy a shirt like this.

00:34:11.500 It's my favorite Hawaiian shirt, but I should love to wear this.

00:34:14.260 But here's Pierre Polyev doing a little speech from the field, and it's still okay to walk in the woods in Alberta.

00:34:26.080 Alberta would be the last place on Earth that would ban hiking in the woods and try to correlate it to wildfires.

00:34:32.940 But here's Pierre Polyev.

00:34:34.120 The by-election, folks, is Monday.

00:34:36.840 Now, of course, I broadcast 10 o'clock in the morning.

00:34:38.760 We're not going to have a clue who's won for sure until later in the day.

00:34:43.760 I'm going to do an evening broadcast on Monday as well, because I think this is a very important moment in history.

00:34:51.540 Of course, I think Pierre Polyev will win this race, and I want Pierre Polyev to win this race.

00:34:56.980 I think he's best in the House of Commons, and as I've said repeatedly, no, I don't always agree with Pierre Polyev.

00:35:03.400 I think he should be taking a tougher stand on equalization.

00:35:07.040 He should be promising to reverse equalization.

00:35:09.760 I think he should be taking a tougher stance on net zero policies.

00:35:13.500 I think he should be taking a tougher stance on mass migration.

00:35:17.220 But he's the best we have right now in the front benches of the opposition.

00:35:21.260 And there's nobody in the Conservative Party who could realistically, in terms of being there long enough, to get the support they need to be party leaders.

00:35:31.460 There's nobody reasonably capable of taking over from Pierre Polyev.

00:35:34.580 Pierre Polyev is the guy.

00:35:36.480 And I think generally he does a pretty good job.

00:35:39.860 And here he is in his, I say, future constituency of Battle River Crowfoot.

00:35:50.120 Well, we can start with the good news.

00:35:54.160 It's been a great crop in Provost Alberta and right across much of the prairies.

00:35:59.800 The bad news, unfortunately, is that the Chinese government has hit us with another round of tariffs, this time 75% on Canadian canola seed.

00:36:10.060 That's on top of the 100% of the 100% of Beijing.

00:36:15.080 And to Chinese, it seems to be thinking that it can walk all over the country. 0.97

00:36:20.860 Okay, I want to say this.

00:36:23.500 Why does that not get Mark Carney upset?

00:36:27.040 75% tariff on canola.

00:36:28.640 That is a cash crop for most farmers in Western Canada.

00:36:33.520 They can always rely on canola.

00:36:35.320 I've had farmers on this show talking about this.

00:36:38.040 Why is Mark Carney not upset about a 75% tariff to one of their major markets, China?

00:36:43.980 Do you think Mark Carney gives a damn about Canadian farmers, especially those living in Alberta?

00:36:48.440 No.

00:36:49.720 Does he care about China?

00:36:51.080 Yes.

00:36:51.560 And he won't stand up to China. 0.91

00:36:53.920 That is a fact.

00:36:54.500 Under the weak leadership of this liberal government, that insult to injury, Mark Carney seems determined to go ahead giving a taxpayer-funded $1 billion loan to Beijing and to Chinese shipmakers to make ferries for British Columbia.

00:37:10.800 That's right.

00:37:11.520 The Canadian government is backing a $1 billion loan that will go to the construction of ferries for British Columbia that are made in China.

00:37:21.320 So imagine the lesson that this sends to the government in Beijing, that if they attack our farmers, they get a billion dollars of credit from our government.

00:37:31.160 But, you know, it stacks up yet another loss that we're facing that is painful for our workers, our farmers, our businesses.

00:37:38.280 Since Carney was elected on the promise, by the way, that he would be a master negotiator, that would negotiate wins for Canada.

00:37:46.100 He said he could handle Donald Trump.

00:37:47.660 Remember that one?

00:37:49.080 Well, what's been the result since?

00:37:51.220 One, Carney's missed two of his promised deadlines to get a deal with the Americans.

00:37:57.860 Under that period of time, the president has actually doubled tariffs on Canada, while the prime minister continues to back down, making concession after concession on digital services tax, on counter tariffs, getting absolutely nothing in return.

00:38:14.200 Sounds like elbows down to me.

00:38:17.160 The Americans, meanwhile, are signing trade deals with Japan and Europe.

00:38:21.900 They've given extensions to China and Mexico, no such extension to Canada.

00:38:26.100 And speaking of other markets, well, what's happening around the world?

00:38:31.480 Liberal ministers went down to Mexico, groveling for a bilateral deal.

00:38:35.540 The Mexicans sent them packing. 0.92

00:38:38.480 The prime minister went and did some photo ops in Europe.

00:38:40.600 But while President Trump has signed a deal with the Europeans to sell $750 billion of American energy to the European Union,

00:38:49.980 the EU has promised to buy exactly zero Canadian dollars worth of Canadian energy from our oil and gas,

00:39:00.540 which is actually even could be even more competitive if we had a government that would be opening up markets and allowing pipelines to get it there.

00:39:08.560 In other words, Carney is losing.

00:39:10.840 And the more he loses abroad, the more Canadian farmers, workers and businesses pay here at home.

00:39:16.300 But it doesn't have to be this way.

00:39:18.000 Conservatives are going back to Parliament in the fall, and we're going to be fighting to put Canada first.

00:39:23.460 We've got a real plan to do it.

00:39:24.940 First of all, we want to cancel the billion-dollar loan for the Chinese-made vessels.

00:39:30.740 Let's focus on building those types of things here in Canada so we can be strong, self-reliant and sovereign.

00:39:35.880 Speaking of sovereign, we also want to pass a Canadian Sovereignty Act, which will unleash our economic independence by taking advantage of our incredible resources.

00:39:48.300 That's the best thing Polly has come up with in years, the Canadian Sovereignty Act.

00:39:54.680 Why did that not come up during the federal election, I ask you?

00:39:58.520 But I've heard so many other people tell me that.

00:40:01.660 Polly is talking like the old Polly again.

00:40:04.160 That's good.

00:40:05.240 And the Canadian Sovereignty Act is what he should have been talking about throughout the whole federal election.

00:40:09.520 Mark Carney has failed Canada in a huge way.

00:40:13.580 And this is the master, as Polly have said, the master negotiator, the guy who could handle Donald Trump, the international banker.

00:40:22.200 This is a guy who can't say no to China. 0.96

00:40:24.740 He's in bed with China constantly. 0.98

00:40:26.620 He said nothing about this tariff.

00:40:28.400 What disagreeable, maybe.

00:40:30.660 He can't negotiate with Donald Trump.

00:40:32.460 Donald Trump walks all over him.

00:40:34.160 He has failed to negotiate at all through this tariff crisis.

00:40:40.580 He's giving a billion dollars to China for ferries that could be built in B.C.

00:40:46.480 It's his insanity.

00:40:50.960 And he has utterly failed as a prime minister.

00:40:54.580 But yet there is still enough confused Canadians who think he's doing a great job, thank you very much, because he just doesn't look like Justin Trudeau. 0.89

00:41:05.780 He doesn't wear silly socks or indulge in childish harangues.

00:41:13.060 And so Canadians think, well, he must be better than Justin. 0.99

00:41:17.380 Actually, he's worse because he's smarter.

00:41:19.480 But he's not using his intelligence for the benefit of Canada.

00:41:23.300 He's using his intelligence to globalize Canada, to marginalize Canada, to ruin our economy further so we will be forced into the European camp and to the globalist camp.

00:41:34.440 That's how Mark Carney is using his intelligence and his expertise against Canada.

00:41:39.800 So don't forget that, folks.

00:41:41.680 That's what Mark Carney is really all about.

00:41:44.560 I'll be back again tomorrow, I think, at 10, maybe 9.30, depending upon how the morning goes.

00:41:53.620 But I'll let you know in lots of time.

00:41:55.140 Thanks for watching today, folks.

00:41:56.880 It's always a pleasure.

00:41:58.260 I've been coming to you live from Ottawa.

00:42:03.800 Have a great rest of your weekend.

00:42:06.780 God bless this country.

00:42:08.080 And Godspeed to all of you.

00:42:09.300 Bye for now.
