The Candice Malcolm Show - Carney Caught LYING again!？

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candace Malcolm, and this is The Candace Malcolm Show. Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:00:11.820 We've got a great show for you today. We're going to talk about Donald Trump, whether or not we're

00:00:15.760 going to get tariffs on March 4th, as promised. We're going to talk about the latest polls and

00:00:20.260 whether you can believe them, whether you can trust them, and how the polls are contradicting

00:00:23.820 one another. We're going to talk about the need for independent media in this country. I think

00:00:28.300 that the liberal leadership debates, those questions, the way they were framed, everything

00:00:32.640 about them showed us why you cannot trust the media and why you need independent media in this

00:00:38.120 country. But first, I want to talk about the front runner of the liberal race, Mark Carney,

00:00:43.780 because it appears that he has been caught in yet another lie. So last week on the show,

00:00:48.800 we pointed out the very obvious. This is something that liberal candidates have done for decades,

00:00:55.020 for decades, say one thing in one language to one side of the country, and then contradict themselves

00:01:00.020 when they're in Quebec speaking in French. So we had Mark Carney out in British Columbia telling

00:01:05.580 supporters that he would do anything in his power to get pipelines built, to get the economy going.

00:01:10.920 He said that he would even use emergency powers to get pipelines built. And then two or three days

00:01:16.980 later, he's on the French CBC. He's asked about this, asked whether he would force Quebec to have a

00:01:21.980 pipeline. And he said, never. He repeated it four times, folks. Never, never, never. He completely

00:01:27.320 contradicted himself. And he lied. We pointed that out here on the Candace Malcolm show. Well,

00:01:31.820 it looks like he has been caught in yet another lie. And we are going to walk you through all of it.

00:01:37.560 But first, I'd like to introduce our guests today. I'm very pleased to be joined by Ezra Levant.

00:01:42.220 Ezra is founder of Rebel News, host of the Ezra Levant show. He's authored several books,

00:01:47.320 including the best-selling Ethical Oil, as well as the Libranos. And I'm very excited to announce

00:01:53.260 with Ezra that he has released a new book called The Deal of the Century, The America First Plan

00:01:58.740 for Canada's Oil Sands. We're going to talk about that book a little later in the show. But first,

00:02:03.360 Ezra, thank you so much for joining the program. My pleasure. And congratulations on Juno News.

00:02:09.080 Thank you so much. Thank you, Ezra. Okay, let's talk about Mark Carney, because this sort of came out

00:02:14.560 after the debate. And I saw that the conservatives were making a big deal about it. And at first,

00:02:19.220 I didn't quite understand it. And as soon as I did, I realized that this is a big deal. This is,

00:02:23.680 this is, I think, very harmful to Mark Carney and his brand. So allow me to walk us through it.

00:02:28.960 Mark Carney, after the liberal debate on Tuesday night, he was asked by a reporter to clarify his

00:02:36.420 role in Brookfield management. So we're going to show this clip of Mark Carney says, I want to correct

00:02:41.000 a few factual things. He says, I was chair of Brookfield Asset Management. I ceased to be the

00:02:46.300 chair on the 15th of January, when I announced my leadership. And then he said the formal decision

00:02:51.260 of the board happened after I ceased. So Brookfield Asset Management, a big Canadian company,

00:02:56.420 moved their headquarters from Toronto to New York City. Carney claims that he had nothing to do with

00:03:02.780 it. So here's that clarification on Tuesday night.

00:03:05.200 So two things. I'll just correct a few factual things. One, I was chair of Brookfield Asset

00:03:12.760 Management. I ceased to be chair on the 15th, I think, of January, when I announced for leadership,

00:03:22.080 the decision, the formal decision of the board happened after I ceased to be on the board.

00:03:28.360 I do not have a connection with Bloomberg Asset, or Brookfield Asset Management. No longer have a role,

00:03:33.440 obviously, as I resigned in the middle of January. So he's using a bit of weasel words there. He looked

00:03:38.500 a little bit uncomfortable. He was scrambling a little bit, Ezra. And then all of a sudden,

00:03:43.000 the Conservatives produced a letter that was signed by Mark Carney and dated December 1st, 2024,

00:03:50.100 almost a full week after Trump's economic threats and several weeks before he resigned. So Michael

00:03:58.020 Barrett produced this letter, a Conservative MP. And you can see here he says,

00:04:03.080 breaking Carney lied. Carney was chair of Brookfield's board when they unanimously voted to move

00:04:08.980 headquarters from Canada to New York, Trump's hometown. Mark Carney can't be trusted. And then

00:04:14.920 he produced the letter itself, the letter in question. And you can see the highlighted bits

00:04:19.760 here. This is Mark Carney has signed this letter. He said, we believe that there is more we can do

00:04:25.520 to broaden our shareholder base and gain access to the deepest pools of capital. The most common

00:04:29.900 feedback that we hear from investors encourages us to position Brookfield Asset Management for

00:04:36.180 inclusion in some of the most widely followed global large cap stop indices, including in the

00:04:40.740 United States. He goes on, the board based on, among other things, recommends unanimously,

00:04:46.580 basically to go ahead and to move the company to New York. We have a timeline here. October 31st,

00:04:54.960 Brookfield announced that it was moving. November 5th, we know Donald Trump was elected. November 25th

00:05:01.320 was the first time that Trump made his 25% tariff threat. December 1st was when that letter was

00:05:07.420 written by Carney to his shareholders, unanimously, saying unanimously the board agrees and confirms that

00:05:14.740 we should move to New York. The shareholder vote took place on December 20th. But Ezra,

00:05:20.580 it wasn't finalized until January 27th, we're told because of the Canada Post strike. So it was

00:05:27.100 delayed. Carney technically resigned on January 16th. And then January 27th was when it was finalized.

00:05:34.380 And so I guess that's how he gets out of it. But this all coming out and him, you know, that display

00:05:41.740 that he had on Tuesday where he was fumbling with his words, not quite able to even explain clearly

00:05:47.260 why. I think he's guilty. I think that he has lied. And it is incredibly damaging, not just the lie,

00:05:53.520 Ezra, but the actual act of moving a Canadian company to Trump's New York City, while we're told

00:06:00.180 that Carney is the only one that can deal with Donald Trump and stand up to him. What do you make

00:06:04.200 of all this? Well, the reason Donald Trump applies tariffs is precisely to get companies to move to the

00:06:11.080 states if they want to do business in the states. Think about it. He's saying to the auto sector,

00:06:16.540 I'll put tariffs on you because I want to move the factories back to Michigan. So that is Trump's

00:06:22.400 whole strategy. He's, I mean, he likes the money from tariffs, but he prefers to have the companies

00:06:28.260 reshoring in America. And that is exactly what Mark Carney did. And what's so incredible is he did it

00:06:36.540 right during the time when Trump was talking about this. I don't want to take anything away from the

00:06:43.500 conservative MP who released this letter, but it was not a secret letter. Brookfield has to publish

00:06:49.380 letters like this frequently if there's any material changes to the company in their management

00:06:55.980 discussions. Like this is filed with the SEC constantly. They're a big public company that has

00:07:02.920 to disclose things like this. And so moving their headquarters to New York was something that we're

00:07:08.640 talking, it was in the media, it was in disclosures months ago. What's sort of funny here, I don't know

00:07:14.580 funny is the word, but what's curious is that Mark Carney is not used to being grilled in a precise and

00:07:22.820 meticulous way. He's used to sort of sliding or eliding through things. And so I heard when you played the

00:07:29.520 clip from after the debate the other night, he said, well, the formal decision didn't come after I was

00:07:36.300 gone. Yeah, that's probably a technical truth. That's sort of like Bill Clinton arguing about what

00:07:42.120 the meaning of the word is, is whatever trickery. But it is crystal clear that Mark Carney headed up

00:07:51.660 the move process for months. I don't doubt that the final X marks the spot on the New York lease

00:07:59.140 happened after he was gone. But he was the chairman who oversaw that. Now you say this is critical and

00:08:07.020 very important. And I would agree in two reasons. First of all, he handed over a major Canadian

00:08:13.800 company to America that shows that he puts money ahead of his patriotism. And by the way, he hasn't

00:08:20.580 answered a lot of questions. Where did he live over the last few years? Why does he have not one,

00:08:27.360 but three passports? I know why he got the British passport, because after being the head of the Bank

00:08:32.320 of Canada, he became the head of the Bank of England. But why does he still have it? Where is his main

00:08:37.700 residence? How many days in 2024 did he actually live in Canada? Why is his wife still working in New York

00:08:45.920 City? Why isn't like, I'm not picking on her. I'm just very curious. It feels like when Michael

00:08:52.520 Ignatieff said, well, I'll only come back to Canada, if I can rule over you. But it also shows

00:08:58.980 one more thing. He's not used to scrutiny. He's used to the World Economic Forum. That's where I last

00:09:06.000 bumped into him on the streets of the WEF at Davos. And he's used to scripted questions from friends

00:09:12.600 in a low stress environment. And he's not really ready for the accountability of a democratic process.

00:09:19.320 And this coronation that the liberals are running, it's not a true primary. It's not a true leadership

00:09:24.920 contest. It's an agree-a-thon. I mean, they were actually helping each other. They were finishing

00:09:30.300 each other's sentences in these debates. And Mark Carney has made the bet, sort of like Joe Biden did in

00:09:39.700 both 2020 and the first half of 2024, that if he just does not allow himself to be grilled by

00:09:47.260 independent journalists, if he just keeps a really low-key, under-control management of himself,

00:09:55.620 he will escape any scrutiny. And you say, you're suggesting he won't, because you're saying this is

00:10:03.420 a very serious moment. I agree it's a serious moment. But, you know, the saying, if a tree falls in the forest

00:10:09.500 and no one's around it here doesn't make any sound. So if this lie, if this handing over of a Canadian

00:10:16.320 company to America, and the subsequent lies and covers up by Mark Carney, if it's not covered by the

00:10:23.060 mainstream media, or if they cover it, if they explain it away, and make their headlines, conservatives

00:10:28.860 pounce, which a lot of, then maybe he'll sneak through, like Joe Biden won in 2020 with no scrutiny.

00:10:36.520 He basically campaigned from his basement. I am worried that the regime media has the same kind

00:10:43.880 of exuberance they had once Kamala Harris took over in 2024. And they're going to do anything they can

00:10:49.740 to pull their boy across the finish line. The question is, is independent media in Canada strong

00:10:56.000 enough to get the truth out? Because the regime media, and I don't just mean the CBC, every other

00:11:02.300 private sector journalist that gets about a third of their salary covered by Trudeau's newspaper bailout,

00:11:08.520 this is life or death for them too. Every journalist in Canada has a moral hazard. They're in a conflict

00:11:16.240 of interest. Trudeau pays at least a third of their salary. In the CBC, it's 100% of their salary.

00:11:21.420 That is why you are going to see the greatest whitewash of Mark Carney in Canadian history.

00:11:28.220 And I think it's happening.

00:11:29.980 Well, absolutely. I want to pick up on a few things, because one of the things you mentioned was the fact

00:11:33.540 that Mark Carney has three passports. We dove into this on a recent show, and he became governor of the

00:11:39.900 Bank of Canada, I'm trying to remember, I think it was 2014. But reports say that he didn't get his British

00:11:44.780 citizenship until 2019, Ezra. So it's not like it was a requirement for the job, right? He moved to the UK,

00:11:50.220 he qualified for it somehow, and then he got it, which tells me that he did it by choice.

00:11:55.280 He is also a citizen of Ireland. And in the past, both with Andrew Scheer, who was the conservative

00:12:01.060 leader in the 2019 election, it was learned that he was born with American citizenship because his

00:12:05.580 mom was an American, and also Tom Mulcair, who is a French citizen. And both those two individuals

00:12:11.680 promised to renounce their second citizenship if they became prime minister. Andrew Scheer put the

00:12:17.460 paperwork in to get the wheels in motion. Thomas Mulcair said that he would renounce his French

00:12:22.000 citizen if he became prime minister. For best I can tell, Mark Carney hasn't spoken on the record

00:12:27.180 at all. He hasn't made any pledge. And we're lined up to have him become prime minister in, what, less

00:12:32.820 than 10 days, Ezra, when he will be selected by the liberal leadership base. He won't then go into

00:12:38.060 a general election. He will become prime minister that day, which to me, it's concerning that he hasn't

00:12:43.940 even been on record, which again, goes to underline your point about the need for the independent

00:12:48.560 media. I want to show you this clip, Ezra, because I want to get your reaction to it. So the CBC

00:12:53.500 is already out there spinning and trying to cover for Mark Carney. First of all, I'll give them some

00:13:00.220 credit for even covering this. I was surprised to see Ian Hanna-Mansing out there saying, did Mark

00:13:05.640 Carney lie? Even just using that sentence, I think was a bit of an improvement. But then they went to the

00:13:10.580 CBC's David Cochran, who's bending himself into a pretzel here defending Mark Carney. I don't think

00:13:16.300 this is a very good explanation. I don't even think that the CBC viewers will buy it. But let's

00:13:20.700 play that clip and I'll get you to react to it. The official re-registration of the corporate

00:13:25.480 headquarters from Toronto to the United States happened in October of last year, before Donald

00:13:30.260 Trump was re-elected, before Chrystia Freeland had resigned, before any of the big seismic political

00:13:34.560 events had happened. Now, the reason for this, it's not necessarily corporate flight from Canada and a

00:13:39.600 reflection of the Canadian economy, is that Brookfield Assets Management, as part of its

00:13:43.540 growth strategy, it's a subsidiary of the larger Brookfield Corporation, which is a major company

00:13:48.100 here in Canada. It needs to be headquartered in New York to get access to shareholders in the

00:13:54.160 United States, or it needs to be headquartered in the United States, and they get access to stock

00:13:57.220 indexes. And ultimately, it wants to be on the Standard & Poor's 500. You have to be registered in

00:14:03.040 the U.S. to do that, whether Donald Trump is president, whether Kamala Harris or Joe Biden had won the

00:14:08.020 last election. It sounds like he's reading a Liberal Party press release there, just explaining the

00:14:13.460 corporate speak and why they have to be. Well, if that's the case, then why would any company be

00:14:17.620 headquartered in Canada? They would all want to have access to those American markets. To me,

00:14:21.860 that was a terrible explanation. Pathetic that a CBC journalist was doing it, but we've come to 0.96

00:14:26.460 expect that. But the explanation in and of itself, I don't think it will convince the CBC audience that 0.68

00:14:30.100 this is okay. Well, I don't even know what the CBC audience is anymore. I mean, I'll forever

00:14:36.020 remember David Cochran as the guy who, with the cameras rolling, took a gift from Justin Trudeau

00:14:44.040 of a free poutine, and he started to eat it. And Trudeau said, basically, I'm bribing you.

00:14:51.580 And David Cochran went through with it. I mean, he was taking – it's an amazing video clip from an

00:14:58.600 early election campaign. It was just in the moment, David Cochran knows who his boss is.

00:15:04.520 It's Justin Trudeau. There are an enormous number of Canadian companies listed on the U.S. Stock

00:15:12.700 Exchange that raise enormous amounts of investment on the U.S. Stock Exchanges, New York Stock Exchange,

00:15:18.820 NASDAQ, et cetera, who have their headquarters in Canada. In fact, the biggest Canadian companies

00:15:24.760 have huge investments from U.S. institutional investors like pension funds, like the oil

00:15:29.900 sands companies, for example. Synovus. I'm just picking a company out of the blue. I think it's

00:15:34.300 actually majority owned by American shareholders. It is based in Calgary. So David Cochran is either

00:15:41.340 corrupt, like maybe he's taking another poutine gift, or he's stupid, or maybe it's neither of those 1.00

00:15:47.160 things. Maybe he's quite clever, and he realizes that he needs to get Mark Carney across the finish line 1.00

00:15:52.740 to protect the CBC from Pierre Polyev. What I am worried about is this simulation

00:15:59.400 of criticism, this simulation of journalistic critique might fool some people that he's

00:16:06.740 being vetted. We don't know the most basic things about Mark Carney. We don't know what he owns,

00:16:13.120 what he earned, who he lobbied for, who were his different clients. When I bumped into the World

00:16:20.780 Economic Forum a year ago, he said he was working for the United Nations. I asked him, I said,

00:16:26.240 who are you here on behalf of? And he said, the UN. Okay, well, what were his duties there? Has he

00:16:34.720 resigned from those duties? What lobbying did he do? We have not had a vetting. We have not had a

00:16:43.000 background check. We have not had even basic biographical information about this guy. Where's his

00:16:49.140 primary residence? I mean, we don't know anything about him other than what his official CV says,

00:16:56.380 and even that is being scrubbed. He's even denying that he was on the board of the World Economic

00:17:01.160 Forum. And the reason that's important is because I want to know who his bosses are. And if he had

00:17:06.280 bosses for 10 years at the UN and for 10 years at the World Economic Forum, just because he has,

00:17:11.380 quote, severed ties, doesn't mean those are not relevant facts for us to know. We know less about

00:17:18.100 Mark Carney than we've known about any Canadian Prime Minister. He's going to be Prime Minister in less

00:17:25.440 than two weeks. We know less about him than any other Canadian Prime Minister in history. We barely know

00:17:32.300 that he's Canadian. And other than the fact that he was born here, I don't even know if that's really

00:17:37.720 who he is. We know nothing about him. And I think that suits the regime media just fine.

00:17:43.660 Well, it's so interesting, Ezra, because a few days before they disqualified Ruby Dalla,

00:17:49.140 you had a liberal former chief of staff to a cabinet minister, Steve O'Brien, say on a panel that she

00:17:56.360 hopes that the Liberal Party will find a legitimate reason to disqualify Ruby Dalla, because if Ruby Dalla 0.99

00:18:02.520 is allowed to compete on the stage during the debates, it will turn it into a circus. Look,

00:18:06.780 I think that Ruby Dalla is a bit of an outsider. She has contrarian opinions, especially for the 0.99

00:18:12.500 Liberal establishment. To your point, the entire debate was nothing but everyone agreeing with

00:18:16.920 each other. I had David Knight-Lag on the show last night, and he just kept calling it like a

00:18:22.100 faculty club meeting. And that's kind of what it was like. It was like they were just throwing out

00:18:25.680 big sky ideas, weren't taking any accountability. I mean, the focus of the debate was Trump, Trump,

00:18:31.380 Trump. They didn't mention anything about crime during those debates. They didn't talk about bail

00:18:35.740 reform. They didn't talk about immigration. They didn't talk about fentanyl. You know,

00:18:39.360 the main issues that are causing Donald Trump to make these tariff threats were not addressed

00:18:44.420 in the debate. They didn't talk about the foreign gangs that are running drug cartels and drug

00:18:50.560 operations in our small towns across Canada. They didn't mention anything about the Chinese election

00:18:56.020 interference. Ezra, to me, I mean, the moderator was a former CBC national anchor, Hannah Thibodeau.

00:19:02.420 And it seemed like they just didn't want to talk about anything controversial, to your point,

00:19:07.580 that this whole thing is supposed to be a coronation. They know that in order for their

00:19:12.320 bread to be buttered, in order to keep getting money from the government, they need a liberal

00:19:17.000 government. And that's why they're not holding anyone accountable. They're not raising the important

00:19:20.740 issues that Canadians demand to know about, not even mentioning the biographical information.

00:19:25.640 So Ezra, I want to say we have a petition that we are launching. We want independent media to be part

00:19:32.880 of the upcoming election. We demand equal access and we want our voices to be heard. We want to get as

00:19:38.880 many Canadians to sign this petition so we can present it to the various parties, present it to

00:19:44.600 anyone necessary. Look, there was just a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. I just checked it

00:19:50.660 right before the show, Ezra. There's over 300,000 signatures on that of people who want to revoke

00:19:55.940 Elon Musk's citizenship, which is absurd. We can talk about that too. But I want to get that many

00:20:01.920 or more to sign this petition. Head on over to my website, CandiceMalcolm.com, sign the petition and

00:20:07.080 tell the powers that be that we want independent media, not just for me, but I want Ezra to be there

00:20:13.400 too. I want a rebel journalist. I want Kian Bexty there. I want the independent voices. Heck,

00:20:17.760 I don't even mind if they open it up to left-wing independent voices as well. Sure,

00:20:21.860 like Rachel Gilmore and Paul Wells and other people in there as well. But it's so important

00:20:25.880 that we hear more perspectives than just what the CBC wants to present. So please help us out.

00:20:32.040 Go sign that petition. Ezra, like, I mean, what can we do at this point to stop the coronation of Mark

00:20:39.140 Carney? Well, nothing because it's an internal process in the Liberal Party. We don't, getting back

00:20:45.340 to Ruby Dalla, we don't even know who was on the secretive panel that kicked her out. We don't

00:20:50.260 know what the rationale was. When I talked to Ruby last Saturday, she raised the issue of the World

00:20:56.680 Economic Forum and the fact that both Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney were on the board. I was

00:21:01.640 sort of surprised that Ruby Dalla raised that issue. You can imagine how that would have been like a skunk 0.95

00:21:06.960 at a picnic had she asked those questions in the debate. And, you know, I saw reports that Mark

00:21:14.320 Carney had very high-level meetings in China recently. Of course those were not plumbed. In

00:21:21.640 the first French-language debate, they talked a little bit about Hamas. They shut up and didn't

00:21:26.480 mention it again in the second debate. They didn't talk about foreign affairs other than their hatred of

00:21:31.220 Donald Trump. I think they kept out Ruby Dalla because she would have been a dissident and a 1.00

00:21:37.520 disruptor. And from the reports I've seen, she was actually doing well in terms of signing people up

00:21:45.660 and getting donations. Perhaps she was attracting Sikh voters. I don't know. I think that the Liberals 0.96

00:21:52.700 are undemocratic, and we know that. And they're going to install and select our new Prime Minister.

00:22:00.100 That is terrifying. It's undemocratic. And I'm afraid, I don't think they're going to get away

00:22:07.400 with it. I think the Conservatives are still going to win the next election. But there will be an

00:22:11.580 interim period where you have a leader of the Liberal Party who is installed as Prime Minister

00:22:17.100 without a single election vote being cast for him. Indeed, the Liberal Party rules, as I think you

00:22:24.040 know, Candace, allows people as young as 14 years old to vote and allows foreign nationals who

00:22:30.080 are not yet citizens. They have to be permanent residents. So you can have 14-year-old children

00:22:35.360 who aren't even Canadian citizens installing a Prime Minister that the rest of us don't know

00:22:42.000 anything about and haven't been asked for. And of course, he's going to do a deal with Jagmeet Singh.

00:22:47.460 Jagmeet Singh is the most compliant and submissive politician I've ever seen in my life. Of course,

00:22:55.580 he'll be bribed. And I believe that we're going to have Mark Carney as Prime Minister until at least

00:22:59.860 October. And they might declare some emergency. He's talked about declaring an emergency over Trump.

00:23:06.160 Not so much of an emergency that he didn't hand over his own massive companies in New York City.

00:23:11.140 But I think that we are seeing the irony is all these Canadian Trump derangement syndrome folks 0.88

00:23:17.360 talk about Trump being an undemocratic dictator. Trump just won an election, including the popular vote,

00:23:23.100 and including all battleground states. He's acting with his constitutional purview. You cannot say

00:23:28.680 any of those things about how the Liberal Party is conducting itself from dissolving Parliament to

00:23:33.720 installing an unknown person as Prime Minister, to delaying the vote, to allowing foreigners and

00:23:41.440 children voting. Who is actually the tyrannical and authoritarian and undemocratic government

00:23:48.000 of the two of us? Well, I think that answers itself. And, you know, Trump did it with all of

00:23:53.620 the institutions and powers that be working against him, whereas Trudeau and the Liberals have all of

00:23:58.720 the powers and all of the institutions working for them. Now, it's interesting, Ezra, that you said

00:24:02.300 that you still think that the Conservatives are going to win. I have to jump to this latest Ipsos poll

00:24:06.640 that came out yesterday. Liberals take the lead for the first time since 2021, after nearly four years

00:24:12.740 of dominance in the polls, Conservative dominance polls, the Liberal Party has taken a two-point lead,

00:24:18.260 overturning a 26-point deficit in just six weeks. I've never seen anything like this in my entire

00:24:24.040 life of watching politics. So here we have it from Ipsos, a very credible pollster, showing the Liberals

00:24:30.300 up at 38% and the Conservatives down at 36%. It seems to me, Ezra, that Donald Trump gets a good chuckle

00:24:38.780 out of jeering with Prime Minister Trudeau. He likes calling him Governor Trudeau. He likes the

00:24:44.220 51st state comment. But every time he makes that comment, the Liberals go up in the polls. It makes

00:24:49.580 Canadians crazy. It turns us into, you know, our anti-American impulse comes up. Look, I just want

00:24:54.720 to show this chart from 338 Canada showing the change. Just look at what has happened in 2025,

00:25:03.360 the right-hand side of your screen. The blue dots are all of the Conservatives' leads in different

00:25:08.320 polls. And the Liberals, a very clear trend. Conservatives trending down, the Liberals

00:25:13.800 trending up. Whether or not the Liberals are actually ahead, we had another poll from Abacus

00:25:19.040 Data, another very fair, very reputable pollster coming out today, which showed what it's always

00:25:26.480 showed, which is the Conservatives do maintain that hefty lead, 41% for the Conservatives. The Liberals

00:25:32.240 are definitely inching up with 29, but it's still nowhere close. These contradictions, Ezra,

00:25:37.760 they have a lot of us scratching our heads. Like, is this manufactured? Is the media just

00:25:42.360 trying to pump up these numbers to make it seem like Mark Carty has a chance? Or is there a

00:25:47.400 legitimate shift that's happened in this country?

00:25:49.980 First of all, Justin Trudeau had become the most hated politician in Canada. In fact, in some polls,

00:25:55.660 in many polls, you know, they say, do you like him or like him a lot? Do you dislike him or dislike

00:26:00.820 him a lot? People didn't just dislike Trudeau, they hated him. And, and I saw some polls to put

00:26:07.760 his likability on by certain demographic groups, as though it was 16%. If you were a single young

00:26:14.100 man in the prairies, like you, like 11% supported Trudeau, the man was hated. My point for saying

00:26:21.040 this is if you remove that odious, hateable guy, and run a fence post, of course, the Liberals are

00:26:28.220 going to do better, just because they're not running the most hated man in Canada. So, so

00:26:32.400 removing Trudeau gets rid of a lot of the toxicity. Mark Carney looks good. He looks like a bit of a

00:26:38.320 funeral parlor director, I think. But he looks prime ministerial. He, he talks well enough, people can

00:26:45.240 visualize him as PM. He's not twitchy and weird, like Christia Freeland. And he's having a bit of a

00:26:54.160 honeymoon. The media is certainly egging that on. And so it's, it's to be expected that this gap will

00:27:01.320 narrow. And as you correctly point out, they're wrapping themselves in the Captain Canada flag

00:27:06.040 again, which is funny, because a couple years ago, they were sending riot horses out against anyone

00:27:10.400 with a Canadian flag who was singing, Oh, Canada. I admire David Coletto, the pollster, I used to know

00:27:16.860 him personally. And I know that his company tilts liberal. So if they say something positive about the

00:27:23.740 conservatives, it's not in their nature to do so, because if anything, they're going to be a little

00:27:27.760 bit liberal. I trust his methodology. And, and I, my own instinct is the gap is narrowed, but it has

00:27:34.860 not closed. But you can see, I mean, Anita Anand has decided to unretire and to run again. I think

00:27:42.940 some liberals who were desolate and dejected with the Trudeau campaign are now thinking, well, maybe they

00:27:51.140 have a chance. And of course they have a chance. And of course there's, you know, conservative

00:27:56.500 Canadians should not be complacent. But I do think that Canada has had it with the liberals. I just

00:28:01.560 really think the pendulum is, I mean, they didn't talk about the things that Canadians are concerned

00:28:07.600 about. And if they did, it was sort of like OJ Simpson saying, I'm going to find the real killers.

00:28:12.540 When you've got Christy Freeland saying, I'm going to find out who caused this deficit and who caused

00:28:18.760 housing prices to be so high. And when I find her, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. Yes,

00:28:24.040 sister, it was you. And I'm not sure how easy it's going to be for the liberals to shuck off

00:28:29.080 nine and a half years of atrocious government. People can't afford homes, inflation, the plunging

00:28:36.160 Canadian dollar. That's why we can't travel to the States and everything is so expensive. You've got

00:28:41.220 millions of migrants who should not be here economically, culturally. The country is in a mess. 1.00

00:28:47.280 And I don't think that Mark Carney is quite the star he set out to be. I don't think he's a great

00:28:55.160 retail politician. Mark my words, he will agree to only a single debate in each language. He does not

00:29:01.380 want to debate against Pierre Pauliev. We've seen the two of them tangle before when Carney appeared in

00:29:06.360 Parliamentary Committee and Pauliev grilled him. Mark Carney is good at being a VVIP. He's good at

00:29:12.900 working in those CEO circles and getting lobbying deals done and getting grants from the Canadian

00:29:18.160 government. And we haven't found the full depth of how he enriched himself and his different companies

00:29:25.000 and clients from the Canadian government because the regime media is not inquisitive. So we have a lot

00:29:31.400 of journalism to do that falls to independent journalists because you're certainly not going

00:29:36.100 to see it from regime journalists. Absolutely. Well, if you look into some of the sort of issues

00:29:42.600 that were touched on during the poll, I want to go back to the David Plato poll because when asked what

00:29:49.600 the top issue facing Canadians, the cost of living, the rising cost of living is still far and away the

00:29:55.540 number one concern. The second one has now become Donald Trump and his administration, followed by

00:30:01.040 health care, housing affordability, the economy, and immigration. I will note that immigration is now a top six

00:30:07.500 issue more important than so many of the other issues that the Liberals promote, including climate change, the

00:30:12.740 environment. So immigration really has become something that Canadians want change on, Ezra. And then when it's when

00:30:20.280 it goes to people were asked what the best party to handle these situations, you could see the in the blue,

00:30:26.660 Conservatives cost of living majority of Canadians or the plurality of Canadians still say that the

00:30:30.820 Conservatives are best handled to best situated to handle that. And then the economy. I mean, look at

00:30:36.260 this 45% say the Conservatives, only 23% say the Libs. The only issue that the Liberals are really leading

00:30:43.520 on is dealing with President Trump and climate change, which is no longer very important to Canadians. So, Ezra,

00:30:50.700 this is why I think the scandal on multiple levels hurts Mark Carney, because first of all,

00:30:55.600 Liberals and Canadians trust, they say they trust the Liberals most to handle and to deal with and

00:31:02.180 negotiate with President Trump. Well, I think that this undermines it, knowing that their leader and

00:31:07.780 the next Prime Minister chose in his private life to move his company and recommend that. And then he

00:31:13.140 kind of lied about it. That raises big concerns. I think it undermines their entire credibility on this

00:31:18.680 issue. And then to the second point, which is that we don't know very much about Mark Carney. We don't know

00:31:23.540 very much about his record. But we do know that he's willing to lie about it or willing to twist

00:31:27.600 the truth and weasel words and use technicalities to confuse the issue, which to me, any good

00:31:33.740 journalist, any journalist worth their salt in this country would start digging into that, would start

00:31:38.240 looking into it, would say, you know, what else is here that Mr. Carney is not telling us about?

00:31:44.120 Yeah. You know what? I'm just looking at the David Coletto poll right now. What's interesting

00:31:48.900 is how the Jagmeet Singh numbers have collapsed. They were just last month at 19 and 18%. Now they're

00:31:59.320 down to 14%. And there was a dynamic that happened way back in 2015, for those who remember, where in

00:32:06.520 the final weeks of the campaign, there was an anybody but conservatives movement where people in

00:32:12.920 different districts said, well, what's the best chance of blocking Stephen Harper from being reelected?

00:32:17.420 Is it the liberals in this district or is it the NDP? And in the last two weeks, things really

00:32:22.520 consolidated behind Trudeau. And that may happen. Jagmeet Singh is so weak and so pointless and so

00:32:30.960 ineffective that when the chips are down, I think maybe liberals are going to rally around their new 0.90

00:32:37.240 guy, Mark Carney. At least that's another story in the poll. So yes, the gap is narrowing. The

00:32:43.500 conservative vote is still strong. 41%. I'm going from the Coletto poll here. That's still a majority

00:32:50.060 government. It's that you see a little bit of consolidation on the left-hand side. I wonder

00:32:56.220 how it will go in Quebec. Mark Carney's French is better than mine, but it's not particularly strong.

00:33:03.160 We haven't yet seen the federal conservatives engage fully. I see some ads. They're running some ads,

00:33:09.080 but we have, I think they're still figuring out their best way to handle things. I was at the rally

00:33:14.420 in Ottawa where they have a real Canada first approach. They're trying to avoid being tagged

00:33:19.560 as Trumpists. You'll notice that Pierre Polyev has not spoken to Trump. He hasn't not gone down

00:33:26.400 to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump, but that's diplomatically appropriate. You wouldn't have the

00:33:30.640 leader of the opposition necessarily doing that, although Nigel Farage in the UK has.

00:33:34.820 I think that's Pierre Polyev making a decision not to be lumped in with Trump because you know

00:33:40.980 the liberals would love that. I mean, that's how they're running things right now.

00:33:45.620 There was a hysteria in the liberal debate. I mean, there's Chrystia Freeland calling

00:33:50.160 Trump a predator and saying she wants an alternative to NATO where she teams up with the nuclear powers

00:33:56.100 of the UK and France or something. And another one of the candidates was talking about working

00:34:02.600 with Mexico to surround America. And then Frank Bayless, who's best known for getting a massive

00:34:08.980 Canadian government contract as an ex-MP, he said he wants to actually undo border security between

00:34:16.440 our own countries. These people are crazy, but yeah, they're absolutely tapping into that dark side 0.95

00:34:23.280 of being Canadians, which is anti-Americanism. And I look at some of the major regime newspapers 0.99

00:34:29.260 and they've gone nuts also. You have the Globe and Mail demanding that Wayne Gretzky apologize

00:34:35.740 for being friends with Trump. You have General Andrew Coyne of the Globe and Mail. Just I've never

00:34:41.220 seen anyone with Trump derangement like him before. There is a madness amongst the official people of

00:34:46.200 this country about Trump and what's so obviously a joke. Hey, Candace, did you see the video where

00:34:53.700 Marco Rubio explained where the whole 51st state thing came from? Did you see that?

00:34:59.000 I did. Yeah. And you know what? Peter Doocy of Fox News had made the same explanation. And when it came

00:35:04.100 out, I was so surprised, Ezra. I mean, you can walk us through it, but that the media didn't pick up on

00:35:09.740 this, that it was Trudeau had given it all away and given his adversary, you know, the best line of

00:35:15.300 attack against Canada. It was unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, Trump said, why should we continue to have a

00:35:21.840 $200 billion trade surplus with you? Well, if Trudeau had ever in his life read a briefing note,

00:35:27.180 he would have said, because Mr. President, you're buying that much oil from us. If you didn't buy

00:35:32.920 it from us, you'd buy it from OPEC or even Russia. And you're going to have a trade surplus in oil until

00:35:37.820 American domestic production grows. So that's why. But Trudeau doesn't know that. He's too stupid.

00:35:44.960 He doesn't read his briefing notes. So instead of giving an answer to Trump, he said, well, if we didn't 1.00

00:35:50.480 have this trade imbalance that would mark the end of Canada. And like, it was Trudeau who expressed

00:35:57.100 that existential threat. It was Trudeau who said that would end us as a state. And Marco Rubio says,

00:36:04.560 to which Trump necessarily said, well, you should become the 51st state. It was Trudeau. That's my

00:36:09.720 point, Candace. It was Justin's stupid Trudeau who, when pressed about the trade surplus, didn't know 1.00

00:36:17.520 anything. So he said, well, this would mark the end of our independent country. He's the guy who 1.00

00:36:22.880 showed his breaking point to Trump. He gave Trump the weapon to be used against him. And Trump is

00:36:30.040 using it, obviously, as a joke. Very early on, Trump said, of course, he's not going to invade.

00:36:36.020 But these liberals are LARPing. They, you know what? If only we had a military,

00:36:43.580 if only we had a national identity after 10 years of Trudeau denuding it. You can't take down

00:36:50.620 statues of John A. MacDonald. You can't strip them off the $10 bill. You can't rewrite the lyrics of

00:36:56.620 the anthem. You can't take the photos of Canadian history out of our passport. You can't say we have

00:37:02.140 no core identity. You can't accuse us all of being racist, sexist, transphobic genociders. You can't say 0.96

00:37:09.800 that the genocide is continuing and it's understandable that the churches are burning.

00:37:15.520 You can't say that for 10 years and then suddenly say, I'm Captain Canada defending our country.

00:37:21.700 That's why there was, speaking of polls, there was a full poll two weeks ago that showed over 40% of

00:37:27.240 young men want to join America because the alternative is Trudeau's crappy socialist post-national

00:37:34.480 state. And you're a young man who wants a prosperous future. Donald Trump is offering

00:37:39.800 you dollar for dollar American bucks instead of Canadian bucks and the military. It's a little

00:37:44.880 more inspiring than what Trudeau has been talking down our country for 10 years. And suddenly Trudeau

00:37:50.620 and Carney have discovered patriotism. I don't buy it.

00:37:53.560 Well, it's amazing that they're getting away with it and that the media is amplifying it and

00:37:56.880 that Canadians are going along with it, or at least a subset, at least that maybe that core swing

00:38:01.180 voter in suburban Toronto. Those seem to be the ones that could potentially be going over to the

00:38:07.160 Liberals. Ezra, and I completely agree with your sentiment there. It's so hypocritical. I want to get

00:38:11.700 to the news though about President Trump. He's sowing some confusion over what will happen with these

00:38:17.580 tariffs. So on, when was this? The 26th. So yesterday, Donald Trump, President Trump was speaking

00:38:25.400 to reporters at a cabinet meeting. And he said that the 25% tariffs will be imposed on Canada,

00:38:32.660 Mexico on April 2nd. So previously we had heard it was going to be March. Well, originally it was

00:38:37.460 supposed to be February. Then it was going to be March. Now it's being bumped to April. So let's play

00:38:42.020 that clip. April 2nd. I was going to do it on April 1st, but I'm a little bit superstitious. I made it

00:38:47.360 April 2nd. The tariffs go on. Not all of them, but a lot of them. And I think you're going to see something

00:38:53.460 that's going to be amazing. But then Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnik, also suggested that

00:39:00.480 the original March 4th deadline for fentanyl and border-related tariffs still holds, but the pause

00:39:06.740 could be in the sort of broader economic tariffs that Trump has suggested, and that there's still

00:39:12.280 time for Canada to satisfy Trump's efforts. Let's play that clip. Fentanyl-related is a pause. If they

00:39:19.920 can prove to the president, they've done an excellent job. That's what they first do in 30

00:39:25.140 days. But then the overall is April 2nd. So the big transaction is April 2nd, but the fentanyl-related

00:39:32.240 things, they're working hard on the border. At the end of that 30 days, they have to prove to the

00:39:36.900 president that they've satisfied him to that regard. If they have, they'll give them a pause,

00:39:42.560 or he won't. So you had a little bit of confusion there, Ezra. And I want to tie this in to your new

00:39:51.960 book, your forthcoming book, which I'm very excited to read, because you have sort of been a prolific

00:39:56.260 writer when it comes to Trump and Trudeau. Your 2017 book, Trumping Trudeau, How Donald Trump

00:40:01.620 Will Change Canada, even if Justin Trudeau doesn't know it yet. It was a fantastic read, a lot of insight.

00:40:07.500 And I think you've proven to be correct in many of the suggestions that you made in that book.

00:40:10.940 Your new book coming out, I don't know if it's out already or if it's coming out, but it's called

00:40:14.560 The Deal of the Century, The America First Plan for Canada's Oil Sands. And I saw that you had

00:40:21.120 an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on the same topic, How Trump's Tariffs Helped Trudeau and

00:40:27.040 Canada's Liberals, which sort of goes to some of the themes that we've been talking about today.

00:40:30.960 So why don't you tell us a little bit about the book, when it's available, where folks can get it,

00:40:36.300 and then you can comment on the latest tariff negotiation, whether or not they're going to happen.

00:40:40.940 Thanks. The book's for sale right now on Amazon. It's called Deal of the Century. And I don't know

00:40:46.560 if you remember, but about a dozen years ago, I wrote a book called Ethical Oil, The Case for

00:40:51.200 Canada's Oil Sands. And that book, it might sound funny coming from me because I'm right-wing,

00:40:56.160 but I wrote that book with left-wing arguments. I was trying to convince environmentalists and

00:41:02.440 peaceniks that ethical oil was better than conflict oil, based on environmental responsibility,

00:41:07.720 peace, the treatment of workers and civil rights. I argued that the oil sands were the fair trade

00:41:13.600 coffee of the world's oil industry. So that was a left-wing argument, and it actually sort of worked.

00:41:18.840 But what's an argument that might convince Donald Trump to lay off Canada a bit, especially our

00:41:24.780 number one export, which is the oil sands oil? Well, you're not going to probably win with those

00:41:29.640 liberal arguments. So what's the America first? That's Trump's ideology. That's his philosophy.

00:41:36.020 What would an America first approach be to the oil sands? Well, you wouldn't push it away. You

00:41:40.840 wouldn't tariff it because unlike a factory, which can move into America, you can't move the oil sands

00:41:48.300 into America. So one of the reasons Trump likes tariffs is he says, if you want to sell into America,

00:41:54.220 you better build your company and your factory in America. Well, you can't move the oil sands.

00:41:58.520 So it's not going to work. The tariff is just going to be paid by U.S. refineries.

00:42:03.900 So it'll be straight passed on to American consumers. So it doesn't really make sense

00:42:08.520 economically. And China has already always been snooping around the oil sands a bit. It bought

00:42:15.400 Nexen a decade ago. It would love to get that strategic asset. And I think Trump just likes to

00:42:23.480 yank Trudeau's chain. Trouble is, he's shooting at Trudeau. He's hitting the rest of us.

00:42:28.280 So I say, all right, the America first approach. Think like a businessman. Think like a real estate

00:42:34.900 tycoon. Think of a dealmaker. Look at Trump talking about Greenland and Panama and even Gaza. He's

00:42:41.440 thinking like a real estate man, isn't he? So I propose in this book, I call it the deal of the

00:42:46.500 century. There's 170 billion barrels of oil in the oil sands. Even if the oil sands were to double

00:42:54.780 production, like double it, as Danielle Smith says she wants to do, that would be enough oil 0.97

00:43:00.600 to totally replace all foreign imports into the United States for 50 years. And what's the price

00:43:10.300 on that? 50 years, 170 billion barrels, 75 bucks a barrel. That's a $13 trillion deal. And all of a

00:43:21.980 sudden, America doesn't have to have military bases near the Persian Gulf. The U.S. spends about $50

00:43:27.620 billion every year just securing the Persian Gulf sea lanes. Why are you doing that? Why not just buy

00:43:33.400 oil from Canada? The companies in the oil sands are either American companies like Imperial Oil,

00:43:39.300 or they're owned by American shareholders. Why not get all your oil from Canada? $13 trillion deal. And

00:43:46.280 by the way, what would Trump demand in return for $13 trillion worth of oil? He'd say, you got to

00:43:51.860 strengthen your military now. You can't make excuses for not having the money. We just like, I think that

00:43:57.320 the Trumpy deal is to pull Canada close, not to push it away. And I have one more idea in the book,

00:44:03.240 and it's sort of a funny secret, but I'll tell you, Candace, I think if Trump wants to zing Trudeau,

00:44:10.360 if he wants to get back at Trudeau, because Trudeau is always beaking off about Trump,

00:44:14.380 how would you do that in a way that doesn't hurt Canada? Well, what did Donald Trump just do to the

00:44:20.660 international criminal court that threatened to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and do all sorts of other

00:44:26.020 crazy things? He put sanctions on members of that rogue court. What would happen, hear me out,

00:44:34.640 if Donald Trump would say, hey, Justin Trudeau, I've been reading a lot of your deep thoughts,

00:44:38.540 and you say that you have presided over a government that is in the current present tense

00:44:45.360 committing a genocide over your First Nations. You have confessed it. You have said there's a

00:44:53.080 genocide ongoing, Canada, and you are presiding over it. We are putting you on a sanctions list.

00:44:59.960 You're not allowed to come to the United States anymore. We're going to freeze your assets down

00:45:03.880 here. And you're telling me that wouldn't bother Trudeau endlessly. Trudeau loves going down to New York.

00:45:12.440 It's sort of what happens in New York, stays in New York. He's down there all the time. He goes on

00:45:16.760 there and talks shows. He parties, because most people don't know who he is down there. Trump should

00:45:22.220 get even with Trudeau by banning him from America and seizing his bank accounts down there. Don't take

00:45:28.560 it out on the rest of us with tariffs. So I have that sort of fun, controversial part of the book,

00:45:33.980 too. Anyhow, the book's doing well. You saw that op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. I was sort of

00:45:38.960 surprised to be in such a prestigious publication. Well, congratulations.

00:45:43.120 I'm good. Thanks. I'm going to try my best to get this book into the hands of the America First

00:45:47.320 crew. Let me say one quick thing. You mentioned Howard Lutnick. He's Trump's commerce secretary.

00:45:52.560 Do you know a little bit about Howard Lutnick? I think he's the most interesting guy,

00:45:56.600 maybe other than Elon Musk, in the whole cabinet. Do you know his story? Do you know who he is at all?

00:46:01.020 Vaguely, but you can tell the audience.

00:46:03.300 He's the CEO of a huge investment firm called Cantor Fitzgerald. And they became famous in a

00:46:12.580 terrible way. They had the top floors of the World Trade Center. And so on 9-11, when the jets came in

00:46:19.280 and hit underneath Cantor Fitzgerald, every single person up there died. Now, Howard Lutnick was late

00:46:26.820 for work that day because he was taking his child to kindergarten for the first day. But his brother

00:46:32.000 was in the top of the tower. His brother died that day, as did hundreds of his staff. It was the most

00:46:38.460 devastating thing. And he built back up and he got raised $180 million for the families of the

00:46:46.320 deceased. And he came back. But he was a huge victim of terrorism, including the loss of his own

00:46:52.160 brother. And he's had other tragedies in his life that are almost as shocking as that. And he's come

00:46:57.760 back. He's a huge optimist. He's a huge entrepreneurial capitalist. He's got a larger

00:47:04.380 than life personality, sort of like Trump. The two of them get along like peas in a pod.

00:47:10.180 And Lutnick, I think he's got Trump's enthusiasm, but he's maybe 5% less effusive. So it was Lutnick

00:47:18.900 who said to the Senate in January, on these tariffs of Canada, we're just trying to get them

00:47:25.780 to do action on the border part. It's not actually to punish them. So I think listen to Lutnick and

00:47:32.140 you'll probably see where Trump is going. I don't think Howard Lutnick wants these tariffs. He just

00:47:38.080 wants Canada to strengthen the border. And he's using the tariffs as sort of a tool. Now, the Canadian

00:47:43.100 side wants the fight. That's my argument in my book, is that Trudeau and Carney actually want

00:47:48.900 this battle with America so they can play hero. By the way, Lutnick is brilliant on companies

00:47:56.020 getting tax loopholes overseas. I won't go into that now, but I think he's really... Elon Musk and

00:48:02.720 Howard Lutnick, I think, are the two most interesting men in this cabinet. Well, I shouldn't say that.

00:48:06.700 There's Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as well. It's sort of an amazing dream team. Anyhow, so Lutnick would make

00:48:12.540 me believe that these tariffs on Canada are just to get us to fix our border. So if Lutnick and Trump

00:48:18.580 can be convinced that the border is fixed, the tariffs won't come. Well, we've seen that so far

00:48:23.840 because all it took was Trudeau announcing some measures, taking Daniel Smith's idea and appointing

00:48:28.860 a fentanyl czar. And just like that, they agreed to it. You raised so many interesting points, and I

00:48:35.480 really urge the audience to go pick up a copy of your book, Ezra. But just one thing, finally, when he was

00:48:41.200 dealing with the Colombians, remember that they had two airplanes full of Colombian illegals that 0.89

00:48:46.040 they were trying to send home, the Colombian government said, no, we're not allowing these 1.00

00:48:49.060 planes to land. And what did Trump do? Apparently from like the third hole of a golf course, he got

00:48:54.280 on his phone and basically said, you know, not only will you face all these tariffs that will be

00:49:00.020 devastating your economy, but the regime, the president himself and his cabinet, all of their 0.99

00:49:05.560 family members will no longer be able to be in the United States, will revoke all of their visas.

00:49:09.740 And, you know, to the point you made earlier in the show, Ezra, we don't know where Mark Carney

00:49:14.360 lives. Apparently his wife lives in New York City. He's about to be the next prime minister. So maybe

00:49:19.080 Trump could apply that not just to Trudeau, but to the entire liberal cabinet, because I think a lot

00:49:24.140 of those people spend a lot of time in the U.S. They love going to the U.S. They love spending time

00:49:28.080 there. And yet, you know, on the debate stage at the liberal debate, they told Canadians not to go to

00:49:32.720 Florida, not to go visit relatives in the U.S. or shop at American stores, even though basically our entire

00:49:38.400 country is filled with nothing but American stores and products. So a lot of hypocrisy and 0.66

00:49:44.300 contradictions. I'll leave the last word to you, Ezra.

00:49:47.740 You know, I think we're lucky that Donald Trump is very, very busy. If he's not trying to solve the

00:49:54.780 war in Russia, Ukraine, he's trying to solve Middle East peace with Abraham Accords, part two. 0.61

00:50:00.060 He's dealing with China. He's dealing with the fires in L.A. He's getting his candidates

00:50:04.500 through the Senate confirmation. He's a tiny bit busy, this Doge thing, managing Elon Musk.

00:50:11.280 So we're lucky in that Donald Trump doesn't have that much time to follow our navel gazing,

00:50:18.420 to follow our Trump derangement syndrome, because I think he would be appalled by how a country that

00:50:24.720 calls itself America's best ally conducts itself. And I'm not even talking about our lack of

00:50:30.460 participation in NATO, our lack of a border security, the foreign policy of bringing in

00:50:37.320 unvetted Gazans. That's crazy. So we are lucky that Donald Trump doesn't know how badly behaved

00:50:44.880 our establishment is. I can hardly wait for Pierre Paldiev to win just to stop the madness. And Candace,

00:50:52.060 I do think he's going to win. Thanks for plugging my book. I think the target of the book is the

00:50:57.520 Americans. I want to convince them it is not in their interest to tariff Canada. But boy,

00:51:03.880 Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney are sure working hard to get those tariffs on us.

00:51:08.560 I think you're right. I think it really benefits the liberals. The more Trump says 51st state,

00:51:12.520 the better they do. And they're going to keep hitting that point and trying to drum up that

00:51:16.680 trade war. Well, Ezra, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show. Thank you so much for joining

00:51:20.280 us. Everybody, please go check out Ezra's book, Deal of the Century. And we'll have to have you on

00:51:25.600 again soon. Thank you, Ezra. Thank you. All right, folks, it's all the time we have for

00:51:30.820 today. Thank you so much for tuning in. We will be back again tomorrow with all the news. I'm

00:51:34.500 Candace Malcolm. This is the Candace Malcolm Show. Thank you and God bless.
