The Charlie Kirk Show - O Canada, O Problems

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here, live from the Bitcoin.com studio.

00:00:04.000 Oh Canada, oh we have problems.

00:00:06.000 We talk about how Canada's fall should actually make us have a position of gratitude.

00:00:22.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:23.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:25.000 I want you to know we are lucky.

00:00:27.000 To have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:29.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:32.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:33.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:34.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:42.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:51.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:19.000 Hello, everybody.

00:01:20.000 Charlie Kirk here, radio stations across the country.

00:01:22.000 We are live in the Bitcoin.com studio.

00:01:34.000 It is 100 days of the Trump presidency, and if you are getting a little bit uneasy, oh, I wish there was more deportations.

00:01:42.000 Where are the arrests?

00:01:43.000 I get it.

00:01:44.000 We're here to air all those grievances.

00:01:46.000 In fact, today is...

00:01:47.000 A day where we understand that it could be festivus every day here on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:51.000 The airing of grievances.

00:01:53.000 But what I will not tolerate is whining.

00:01:56.000 Complaining.

00:01:57.000 Because all we have to do is look to the north.

00:02:00.000 All we have to do to look is to look to our neighbor to say, you know what?

00:02:04.000 We have it pretty good here.

00:02:07.000 We have it pretty awesome.

00:02:09.000 We have a president and administration every day that is fighting for the American people and they're getting things together.

00:02:14.000 They are reconfiguring the U.S. government.

00:02:17.000 to represent our country because, boy, what happened last night in Canada is awfully depressing.

00:02:25.000 We're going to be spending almost the entire hour talking about what's happened in Canada and contrast it with what's happening here.

00:02:32.000 There's a fair amount of people that just want to try to find something wrong with President Trump's administration.

00:02:39.000 Oh, we shouldn't have deported that guy.

00:02:41.000 A lot of should-haves, but time out, guys.

00:02:44.000 Understand.

00:02:46.000 That we could have a Prime Minister Carney.

00:02:52.000 We could have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:02:57.000 Canada, being our neighbor to the north, has indulged the last 40 years in liberal government.

00:03:05.000 And their decline is steep.

00:03:07.000 I'm sorry, 16 years.

00:03:09.000 Huge explosion of housing prices.

00:03:12.000 An incomprehensible immigration flood. 0.98

00:03:15.000 Hard to even grasp.

00:03:18.000 The biggest innovation in Canada right now is they've become the most famously pro-suicide country in the world.

00:03:24.000 Not a joke.

00:03:26.000 And interestingly, the election last night, which was the election of Mr. Carney as Prime Minister, the patterns of what we're seeing in Canada are eerily similar to that in America.

00:03:38.000 Get this.

00:03:40.000 Canadians over the age of 60 and over...

00:03:44.000 are by far the most likely to vote for Carney because they thought he was good at dealing with Donald Trump.

00:03:52.000 For younger voters, very similar to here in America, they wanted to reduce the cost of living.

00:03:58.000 So I think I could be a little bit more candid because whenever I say anything about baby boomers, I get thousands of nasty emails as if people must be defensive of their generation like I'm attacking your family.

00:04:12.000 It's very bizarre to me.

00:04:14.000 But how about this?

00:04:15.000 Canadian baby boomers don't care about the future of Canada. 0.98

00:04:19.000 Now, if I get criticism from that statement, I will shrug my shoulders and laugh.

00:04:26.000 You would think the way the West was built was with an intergenerational social compact.

00:04:34.000 I, at age 60, am going to sacrifice for future generations.

00:04:42.000 I might not have the life that I want, but my kids will, and that will give me satisfaction.

00:04:49.000 That is how you build a country.

00:04:51.000 That is how civilization improves.

00:04:54.000 When you have delayed gratification, it's how you leave a legacy.

00:04:58.000 And we saw a window into the perverse moral nature that now dominates the West.

00:05:06.000 And Canada was way worse than America, but both of our countries were terrible during...

00:05:10.000 The lockdowns.

00:05:11.000 During the lockdowns, we saw a we will sacrifice the youth to save the old mantra.

00:05:19.000 Very troubling.

00:05:21.000 Few people isolated this and pinpointed this.

00:05:23.000 And we kind of just all believed it.

00:05:25.000 Yeah, we're going to ruin our kids' lives so that we can have a better five years.

00:05:32.000 When has that ever been the case of a Western value?

00:05:35.000 That is a soft form.

00:05:37.000 Soft form.

00:05:39.000 Of child sacrifice.

00:05:41.000 So we're going to have young people have a worse time off.

00:05:45.000 They're going to be masked.

00:05:46.000 They're going to be more suicidal.

00:05:47.000 They're going to be more alcohol addicted, more drug addicted, more isolated, less likely to be part of a community.

00:05:52.000 But hey, at least I'm making sure that I don't get COVID, even though it wasn't nearly the threat that people thought it was.

00:05:59.000 Not even close.

00:06:02.000 And in Canada, we saw with the results last evening, Mr. Carney defeated the conservative The amount of

00:06:34.000 people that Canada is bringing in through mass migration.

00:06:37.000 We'll destroy Canada.

00:06:39.000 Canada's already basically destroyed.

00:06:41.000 It's a million people a year.

00:06:43.000 Canada is literally falling apart.

00:06:46.000 Its average home price is tens of thousands of dollars higher than here in America.

00:06:50.000 Even though Canada has nothing but space and lower incomes than America.

00:06:54.000 It is a choice.

00:06:56.000 It is a decision.

00:07:02.000 They're bringing in people from all over the planet that are further disintegrating. 1.00

00:07:08.000 Canadian culture and values, whatever that means anymore.

00:07:12.000 They have long wait for medical procedures, mass proliferation of drug usage, except, of course, if you want to be able to use suicide.

00:07:22.000 Suicidal drugs or suicide pods.

00:07:27.000 They call it MAID, M-A-I-D, Medical Assistance in Dying.

00:07:36.000 And you look at now 100 days, 100 days of President Trump, the contrast and the difference.

00:07:43.000 And you should be saying your prayers of gratitude today.

00:07:46.000 Thank you, Lord, for saving us.

00:07:48.000 Thank you, Lord, for giving us the grace because Canada, we are going to be neighboring a semi-Soviet country soon.

00:07:57.000 It's not an exaggeration.

00:07:59.000 We have a border.

00:08:01.000 We are putting the American worker first. 1.00

00:08:05.000 And I've always said to reporters or people on campus, Charlie, what do you disagree with President Trump on?

00:08:10.000 And I kind of jokingly but very seriously say, man, I don't want Canada as our 51st state.

00:08:16.000 Why would we want this state?

00:08:17.000 They're more to the left than even our most liberal state.

00:08:19.000 Why would we want them as our 51st state?

00:08:24.000 And now Canada is in an irreversible death spiral.

00:08:29.000 Held captive by environmentalism, mass migration.

00:08:34.000 Critical theory.

00:08:35.000 It is every dynamic imaginable packaged.

00:08:39.000 And we have Ezra Levant from Canada joining us later in this hour.

00:08:44.000 He has a glass half full view of the election, so maybe it's not as bad as all that, but I'm here to tell you it's really bad.

00:08:50.000 And I love the ever-present Canadian optimism of Ezra.

00:08:55.000 But now we look at what President Trump has done and what's happening in our country.

00:09:00.000 And it goes to show that this right-wing revolution It's not happening in every state, every country, but it is happening in ours.

00:09:07.000 And we made it happen, largely because free speech is our birthright.

00:09:12.000 And everyday Americans rose up and gave us that mandate.

00:09:17.000 Here's some of the polling that has happened within the first couple of days, the first 100 days of President Trump's term.

00:09:26.000 Shows only 2% of Trump voters regret their vote.

00:09:30.000 Despite what all the media is saying, play cut 175.

00:09:34.000 I hear all these stories, all these articles, all the Trump voters, they regret what they did back in 2024.

00:09:41.000 I'm here to tell you, uh-uh, very few of them regret what they did back in 2024.

00:09:46.000 What are we talking about?

00:09:47.000 Trump voters looking back at 2024.

00:09:49.000 We got a new poll out.

00:09:50.000 The poll was conducted this month.

00:09:52.000 What percentage would change their vote to a different candidate?

00:09:55.000 We're talking just 2%, just 2%.

00:09:58.000 That's not even a wide spot on the road.

00:10:00.000 And then there's this additional 1% who say they would rather not vote.

00:10:04.000 And then you ask, okay, the same question to Kamala Harris voters, and it turns out the numbers are rather similar.

00:10:09.000 So if there was a repeat, if folks got to be able to redo their vote that they had back in 2024, would the result be any different?

00:10:16.000 I doubt it would be.

00:10:19.000 We look to the north, and we should look to the north with gratitude.

00:10:25.000 That we've been saved.

00:10:26.000 That we have a president and an administration fighting so hard.

00:10:31.000 And our neighbors to the north, boy, they did not dodge a bullet.

00:10:36.000 It metaphorically hit them square in the middle.

00:10:44.000 The American family's great again.

00:10:45.000 At least, we're getting there.

00:10:46.000 So what are you doing this Easter to celebrate with your family?

00:10:49.000 Our good friends at Angel Studios, I love Angel Studios, remember Sound of Freedom, have an incredible movie coming out this Easter called The King of Kings, an animated story of the life of Jesus, featuring an all-star cast including Oscar Isaac, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman,

00:12:05.000 We have Ezra Levant joining us in the next segment.

00:12:07.000 But I do want to spend some time talking about who might be the worst governor in America.

00:12:15.000 And it's not Gavin Newsom.

00:12:18.000 He's up there.

00:12:19.000 But this guy is the ultimate Nepo baby. 1.00

00:12:23.000 The ultimate.

00:12:25.000 Born on third and thought he hit a triple.

00:12:27.000 He thinks he's going to run for president.

00:12:30.000 He thinks he's going to be president.

00:12:32.000 And what he has done to my home, the state of Illinois, is inexcusable.

00:12:37.000 It's unpardonable.

00:12:39.000 What he has done to drive Illinois even further off a cliff is actually remarkable.

00:12:46.000 Worth billions of dollars, if he ran for the presidency, he would be like Michael Bloomberg.

00:12:50.000 And of course, I'm talking about Nepo baby, J.B. Pritzker.

00:12:55.000 Now, I know what you're thinking.

00:12:57.000 You're thinking, boy, is he really that big?

00:13:00.000 No, he's bigger than that, actually.

00:13:02.000 He has a waist circumference that is awe-inspiring.

00:13:08.000 It really is.

00:13:09.000 You have to think to yourself, you're in public life and there is a drug called Ozembic available and you don't use it.

00:13:18.000 It's almost, it almost gives you, you almost get respect for it.

00:13:24.000 At some point, you know, some people, they kind of lose some of their gusto when they get really skinny.

00:13:31.000 It's like, you know, did you like bigger Pompeo or skinnier Pompeo?

00:13:34.000 I kind of liked bigger Pompeo, to be honest with you.

00:13:37.000 And I like Mike Pompeo.

00:13:38.000 He's great.

00:13:39.000 He had a little bit more gravitas, a little bit more pull.

00:13:42.000 But this is a whole different level of diameter.

00:13:47.000 So Jamie Pritzker is thinking about running for the presidency.

00:13:53.000 He's thinking about being pushed for the presidency.

00:13:57.000 He's thinking about being carted.

00:14:00.000 For the presidency.

00:14:03.000 And he's really making a lot of noise.

00:14:06.000 He's rolling right in for the presidency.

00:14:09.000 Boom! 0.99

00:14:12.000 Play cut 220.

00:14:14.000 Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption.

00:14:21.000 But I am now.

00:14:38.000 know a moment of peace.

00:14:41.000 They have to understand that we will

00:14:43.000 We'll fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have.

00:14:47.000 We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.

00:14:53.000 So he said not a moment of peace.

00:14:55.000 I thought he said because the auto is terrible.

00:14:57.000 And they all know that we're obese.

00:14:59.000 That's what I thought he said.

00:15:01.000 I had to look at my transcript.

00:15:02.000 Keep myself a little bit more disciplined than that.

00:15:06.000 Come on, you gotta get better audio, J.B. Pritzker.

00:15:09.000 You're worth billions of dollars, man.

00:15:11.000 All right, so J.B. Pritzker, he calls for mass protest and disruption comparing the United States under Trump to Nazi Germany.

00:15:20.000 It's a five-alarm fire.

00:15:24.000 It's time to step out of your comfort zone and step into your streets.

00:15:27.000 And, of course, he never says peacefully.

00:15:29.000 Of course, when I visited the state of Illinois a couple weeks ago, we got terrible death threats all the time.

00:15:34.000 J.B. Pritzker is inciting that.

00:15:36.000 Someone is going to get killed.

00:15:37.000 J.B. Pritzker's language is going to get somebody killed.

00:15:40.000 I pray that I'm wrong.

00:15:41.000 The same way that Steve Scalise almost died of a Democrat shooter many summers ago.

00:15:49.000 Let's play Cut 264.

00:15:51.000 The dangers that my family experienced in Ukraine, the dangers that we saw in Nazi Germany, especially in the earliest days of Nazi Germany are the dangers that we need to react to.

00:16:08.000 Now, if we don't, things will get much, much worse.

00:16:12.000 And so we've got to raise alarm bells to everybody.

00:16:15.000 It's a five-alarm fire, everyone.

00:16:17.000 It's time to step out of your comfort zone and step out into the streets and speak up and make your voices heard.

00:16:24.000 Because that's the only thing that we have.

00:16:27.000 That's the power that we have.

00:16:28.000 And we can stop them in their tracks because, you know what?

00:16:31.000 Republicans in Congress don't want to lose re-election.

00:16:35.000 I could do a whole hour on J.B. Pritzker.

00:16:39.000 But of course, if you're under Hitler, what are you supposed to do?

00:16:41.000 Oh, you're supposed to murder Hitler.

00:16:43.000 Which of course, that's why Trump was shot last summer and they never apologized.

00:16:46.000 They were never sorry.

00:16:47.000 People thought it was great.

00:16:49.000 They almost shot Donald Trump again in the fall.

00:16:53.000 J.B. Pritzker is a big fan of boys in female locker rooms. 0.99

00:16:57.000 People are leaving Illinois in record numbers.

00:17:00.000 It's a tragedy.

00:17:02.000 But J.B. Pritzker believes...

00:17:04.000 That he can gyrate his way to the presidency.

00:17:08.000 Not run.

00:17:08.000 He can motion.

00:17:10.000 You can't notice when he walks.

00:17:12.000 It's kind of one of the swaying walks.

00:17:14.000 He can roll himself there.

00:17:16.000 Basically, his sales point is that I should be the most powerful Democrat because I'm physically the biggest Democrat.

00:17:25.000 Yeah, that'll win back young men. 0.58

00:17:29.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:31.000 Brand new year, brand new opportunities to change the world for the better.

00:17:34.000 It's easier than you might think.

00:17:35.000 You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with Preborn.

00:17:39.000 Together with the Sanctity of Human Life Month, we're going to save 35,000 babies to show the world that not only do we believe life is precious, but we're going to do something about it.

00:17:48.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth of what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:17:53.000 What better way to start this new year than to join us to save babies?

00:17:57.000 And $28 a month will save a baby a month all year long.

00:18:00.000 A $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:18:07.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:18:11.000 I am a donor to this organization and you should

00:18:13.000 Start this new year by being a hero for life.

00:18:17.000 Call 833-850-2229 or click on the pre-born banner at charliekirk.com.

00:18:26.000 You should be too.

00:18:27.000 charliekirk.com pre-born banner.

00:18:31.000 you

00:18:32.000 We're going to dive deeper into the Canadian results here with my friend Ezra Levant from Rebel News.

00:18:37.000 Ezra, great to see you.

00:18:39.000 You actually have a glass half full interpretation of the Canadian election results.

00:18:44.000 Tell us about it.

00:18:45.000 Thanks.

00:18:46.000 I mean, you've got to if you're a conservative in a left-of-center country like Canada.

00:18:50.000 You've always got to be looking for the silver lining.

00:18:51.000 And let me tell you what it is.

00:18:53.000 The Conservative Party of Canada, led by Pierre Polyev, got the highest vote count of the Conservative Party in a generation.

00:19:01.000 The last time the Conservatives got this many votes, it was 1988.

00:19:06.000 Trouble is, we have a multi-party system.

00:19:10.000 It's not the U.S. style.

00:19:11.000 Two-party system.

00:19:13.000 So Pierre Polyev, the conservative, ran a working-class conservative campaign that focused on things like reducing immigration, reducing inflation, reducing the economy.

00:19:23.000 It was actually something that I think American conservatives would like.

00:19:27.000 Trouble is, the left-wing parties all joined together.

00:19:31.000 Pierre Polyev got about 41.5%.

00:19:35.000 And you're thinking, well, that's terrible, because in the two-party American system, it would be.

00:19:39.000 But believe it or not, that's the highest any politician has got in Canada in 30 years.

00:19:45.000 But the Socialist Party fell down to 6%.

00:19:50.000 All of it went to the Liberals.

00:19:52.000 The Green Party did a trick.

00:19:54.000 They cancelled over 100 of their candidates to stop splitting the vote.

00:19:58.000 So what happened is...

00:20:00.000 The liberal candidate led by a World Economic Forum board member named Mark Carney, he squeaked past Pierre Polyev and he formed a minority government.

00:20:12.000 What does that mean?

00:20:12.000 He didn't get most of the seats in the parliament.

00:20:15.000 So there's a chance we'll be going back to the polls sometime this year.

00:20:20.000 It's not a disaster.

00:20:23.000 It feels bad because as recently as four or five months ago, the conservatives were looking to cruise to victory with the majority.

00:20:31.000 But I'll be candid with you, Charlie, and you know me, I'm the biggest Trump booster in Canada.

00:20:37.000 Donald Trump's heckling and his banter about the 51st state, that spooked some people who had thin skin or didn't understand.

00:20:46.000 What to make of it.

00:20:47.000 And I think that probably drove 5 or 10 percent over to the liberals.

00:20:52.000 So glass half full is best conservative result in a long time.

00:20:57.000 The new conservative party is very attractive to young people and working class people.

00:21:02.000 The bad news is the liberals squeaked past them.

00:21:05.000 And I hate to say it, it was that Trump banter that hurt some feelings.

00:21:11.000 Yeah, so let's dive deeper into this and examine it.

00:21:14.000 So first, that sounds like it was a French playbook, meaning in France they did something similar, where the liberal parties kind of all combined together.

00:21:24.000 I have to imagine, though, it's just a little bit different than American politics, where was it not cost of living and mass migration and cultural cohesion that was a bigger issue?

00:21:36.000 Was this really a referendum on...

00:21:40.000 President Trump externally?

00:21:41.000 I mean, walk us into the elements here.

00:21:45.000 Well, there was a generational divide which was so interesting.

00:21:49.000 Historically, the Liberal Party gets the young voters.

00:21:52.000 Justin Trudeau won in 2015 in part on his promise to legalize marijuana.

00:21:57.000 Trudeau tried to come across as young and hip and cool, and he got the young vote.

00:22:02.000 This time around, young people really tilted towards the conservatives for the reasons you say.

00:22:07.000 It's tough to find a house you can buy in Canada.

00:22:10.000 Mass immigration has driven down wages and pushed up housing costs. 1.00

00:22:16.000 So immigration was the subtle driver of all, not so subtle driver of all these things. 0.87

00:22:22.000 Crime is a huge crime wave in Canada.

00:22:26.000 In many ways, we're now actually more violent than the United States, which has never happened before.

00:22:30.000 And finally, we have big pro-Hamas street marches.

00:22:35.000 Things that, I mean, occasionally you see them in the United States, but they're a weekly thing in Canada.

00:22:40.000 So yes, immigration was at play, but it was a generational thing.

00:22:45.000 Young people feel... 0.99

00:22:46.000 I think that they're oblivious to...

00:23:08.000 Some of the street battles in Canada over race and ethnicity, diaspora politics.

00:23:12.000 So the boomers and the seniors could afford the luxury political belief of being offended by Donald Trump.

00:23:19.000 Imagine that is driving your vote for your prime minister.

00:23:22.000 Who's going to push back at Trump's heckles?

00:23:26.000 That is not a serious reason to vote for someone because, like I say, it's a luxury belief you can only afford if everything else in your life is going right.

00:23:35.000 Young people didn't really care about the Trump tweets, but boomers and seniors, especially liberal minded boomers and seniors, they cared a lot.

00:23:44.000 So

00:23:45.000 So, it's a luxury belief to be so offended at Trump that you can basically crap on your kids' future, and luxury beliefs are something we talk about a lot on this program.

00:23:56.000 Okay, so you are rather hopeful, actually, about the future of Canadian politics based on your analysis and your interpretation.

00:24:04.000 Just kind of let's take a step back.

00:24:06.000 What does an election look like?

00:24:09.000 Is there a lot of money being spent?

00:24:11.000 How much money was spent on this?

00:24:14.000 Was it campaigning across the country?

00:24:15.000 I know that it was a rather truncated or a rather compressed election season.

00:24:21.000 So educate us on what Canadian elections look like.

00:24:25.000 Canadian elections, there's a five-week period where everyone goes full guns.

00:24:30.000 Now, obviously, everything before that, they sort of have the campaign in mind.

00:24:35.000 But there's an intensity of those last five weeks.

00:24:38.000 In Canada, the government has nationalized leaders' debates.

00:24:42.000 So there was an official government-run leaders' debate halfway through.

00:24:46.000 And typically, people really pay attention to those.

00:24:51.000 You know, there is a lot of money being spent.

00:24:54.000 Canada is about one-tenth the size of the U.S., and we probably had one-tenth the size of the budget.

00:24:59.000 But the campaigns have their campaign jets, and it's all about IDing your vote and get out the vote.

00:25:06.000 Obviously, a lot of the campaigning is digital.

00:25:09.000 So it's very much like an American campaign.

00:25:11.000 In fact, the liberals typically have...

00:25:17.000 Let me tell you a quirky thing.

00:25:20.000 Mark Carney and another candidate named Evan Solomon, they're basically run by a globalist lobby group in New York called the Eurasia Group.

00:25:32.000 It's sort of weird how that...

00:25:35.000 It's in New York City, but it was sort of running the campaign for the Liberal Party in Canada.

00:25:40.000 Justin Trudeau's former mentor works at the Eurasia Group, and that's where Mark Carney, the prime minister, his wife works.

00:25:49.000 Like, this little office in New York is basically being the puppet master for Canada.

00:25:54.000 It's a little bit weird.

00:25:55.000 There's a lot of foreign interference in our election, I should mention.

00:25:59.000 In the last election, the Chinese Communist Party was found to be interfering in 11 different districts.

00:26:06.000 This election, it was even worse.

00:26:09.000 In fact, one candidate had to step down because he was a Chinese-Canadian candidate who said, if you kidnap my opponent and take him to the Chinese consulate, you'll get a million-dollar bounty.

00:26:23.000 I know what I said just sounded insane, but he said it three times, and finally he resigned as the candidate to be replaced by another Chinese Communist Party candidate, a police officer, Chinese-Canadian police officer, who would attend Chinese Communist Party events in his police uniform,

00:26:41.000 sing communist songs.

00:26:42.000 The hand of China is very apparent in our politics. 0.93

00:26:47.000 In fact, our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, you may know that he was the chair of...

00:26:51.000 Brookfield Asset Management, which is like a slightly smaller BlackRock.

00:26:56.000 He's met with Xi Jinping.

00:26:58.000 He's done huge business deals in China.

00:27:01.000 He took a quarter billion dollar loan from China.

00:27:04.000 So we have a real China problem in Canada.

00:27:07.000 There are great, loyal, freedom-oriented Chinese Canadians fighting against that.

00:27:12.000 But the Mark Carney government is as pro-China as you can get.

00:27:16.000 Let me throw one last thing at you, Charlie.

00:27:19.000 Canadian politicians were sort of heckling back at Donald Trump.

00:27:22.000 I know you didn't hear it because it was for Canadian domestic consumption.

00:27:26.000 It was sort of, can you prove who is the toughest to stand up to Trump?

00:27:31.000 That was a campaign thing to juice the turnout that we talked about, those sensitive boomers and seniors. 0.88

00:27:36.000 But last night, after the votes were counted, Mark Carney, the new liberal prime minister, the former World Economic Forum board member, the former chair of Brookfield Asset Management, he takes the stage for his acceptance speech.

00:27:49.000 Campaign's over now.

00:27:50.000 Now he has to think like a prime minister.

00:27:52.000 He goes extra hard at Donald Trump.

00:27:56.000 He says that Canada and the U.S. will never have the same relation again.

00:28:00.000 He will reorient Canada.

00:28:03.000 If he gets his way, he will realign us with communist China.

00:28:08.000 So it wasn't just a campaign trick.

00:28:11.000 It wasn't just a way.

00:28:12.000 His anti-Americanism wasn't just a tactic.

00:28:16.000 He deeply believes in it.

00:28:18.000 This guy is the ultimate globalist.

00:28:20.000 I think I told you before.

00:28:23.000 He has three passports.

00:28:26.000 He has a home in the United Kingdom, a home in New York City.

00:28:30.000 I don't think he's actually been back in Canada for more than a few weeks.

00:28:33.000 I flew to the Isle of Man two weeks ago because he had set up a shell company with a straw man director there.

00:28:42.000 I don't even know what country he pays his taxes in.

00:28:45.000 We are dealing with someone.

00:28:47.000 Who truly is the World Economic Forum personified.

00:28:54.000 How was the Canadian polity so bamboozled by this guy?

00:29:03.000 Is it because you don't have free speech and you don't have alternative media to be able to get this message out?

00:29:11.000 There's some anti-Americanism in Canada.

00:29:14.000 Our media is so concentrated, it would be as if PBS was larger than all other media combined.

00:29:20.000 That's our CBC state broadcaster.

00:29:22.000 And I say again, despite all that...

00:29:24.000 Pierre Polyev did exceedingly well.

00:29:26.000 It just wasn't good enough, given the France-style trick you mentioned, where they all unified behind the lefty.

00:29:33.000 It was close, though.

00:29:35.000 The Liberal only beat the Conservative by 2%.

00:29:37.000 So don't write us off yet, Charlie.

00:29:39.000 That's why I'm not gloomy.

00:29:40.000 Glass half full.

00:29:42.000 I think Polyev will win it within the next year, and we'll be smiling again.

00:29:48.000 Many clients aren't even able to make a minimum monthly payment on their private student loans.

00:29:52.000 Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion.

00:29:58.000 Well, they provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay.

00:30:02.000 Let's face it.

00:30:03.000 If you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, nobody is coming to bail you out.

00:30:07.000 Call 888-YREFI-34.

00:30:09.000 Log on to YREFI.com.

00:30:10.000 That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

00:30:12.000 May not be available in all 50 states.

00:30:15.000 Go to YREFI.com.

00:30:16.000 Do you have a co-borrower?

00:30:17.000 YREFI can get them released from the loan.

00:30:19.000 You can give mom or dad a break.

00:30:21.000 Go to YREFI.com.

00:30:22.000 That is Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

00:30:26.000 YREFI.com.

00:30:30.000 So Ezra, I know I mentioned this previously, but I want to reiterate it.

00:30:34.000 Can you talk and speak to the importance of what you wish you had as far as alternative media and free speech?

00:30:41.000 What if Canada had the...

00:30:44.000 So Canada's like the size of California.

00:30:46.000 So just in California, imagine if you had free media, open media, alternative media, influencers, and laws that allow you to do those things.

00:30:55.000 What would Canada look like?

00:30:57.000 It would be completely different.

00:30:59.000 We are constantly fighting for even basic freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

00:31:03.000 And it is a very costly battle because we do not have the First Amendment.

00:31:08.000 We have something that's sort of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy version of the First Amendment.

00:31:14.000 But it's subject to so many limitations.

00:31:18.000 We rely on it to fight back all the time.

00:31:20.000 I mentioned earlier that there's a leaders' debate that the government runs here.

00:31:24.000 That's weird in itself.

00:31:25.000 But why would Trudeau nationalize debates?

00:31:28.000 The answer is to choose who gets to attend, including journalists.

00:31:33.000 Twice Rebel News was banned from attending, simply because they didn't like our conservative tilt.

00:31:39.000 Twice we managed to go to the federal court and get a court order allowing us in.

00:31:43.000 So the freedom of speech is there enough that occasionally we can win, but we're always running

00:31:49.000 We have things called the Human Rights Commissions, which are nothing of the sort.

00:31:58.000 They basically weaponize any complaints that you're making mean tweets.

00:32:03.000 Justin Trudeau introduced a terrifying bill called C63, the Online Harms Act, that would have made it literally against the law to hurt people's feelings.

00:32:13.000 And truth is not a defense.

00:32:15.000 Fair comment is not a defense.

00:32:17.000 Religious conviction is not a defense.

00:32:19.000 That bill was sort of evaporated by the election, but I believe Mark Carney is going to reintroduce it.

00:32:26.000 Let me tell you.

00:32:27.000 Freedom of speech is the most important freedom because with it, you can fight to recover all the others.

00:32:33.000 It's a little bit tough sometimes, free speech, because you have to give it to your opponent if you want it for yourself.

00:32:38.000 So you really have to love it because we all don't like what our critics say.

00:32:44.000 But in Canada, they're snuffing out free speech.

00:32:47.000 Last point, Charlie.

00:32:48.000 It's not just that they have a stick to beat people they don't like.

00:32:52.000 They have a huge carrot for the journalists they do like.

00:32:55.000 They have colonized the media.

00:32:57.000 I mentioned what would it look like if PBS was larger than all media.

00:33:01.000 That's what Canada is like.

00:33:03.000 We have a state broadcaster here that has a larger staff than all private media combined.

00:33:10.000 Imagine how that distorts the debate.

00:33:13.000 Whatever private media there is now gets about a $30,000 per journalist yearly subsidy from the government.

00:33:22.000 So they're all pulling for Team Mark Carney.

00:33:26.000 There's really only a handful of independent journalists left.

00:33:29.000 So they, I think in Canada soon, they'll only be government-funded journalists or government-banned journalists.

00:33:37.000 It is not a healthy state of affairs.

00:33:40.000 Elon Musk, frankly, Is the most consequential man in politics because he has strengthened our freedom of speech.

00:33:48.000 And thank God Donald Trump won because he's fixing the censorship problem in social media, which benefits us up here in Canada.

00:33:56.000 If Trump did not win, Rebel News would be out of business because Twitter and the free speech that's now seeping back into social media would be gone.

00:34:05.000 In closing here, are you guys going to give up?

00:34:08.000 Is now this, hey, you know, the Liberals won.

00:34:10.000 What is the battle cry for the Canadian patriot?

00:34:14.000 Because I just have such respect for you guys.

00:34:16.000 Because even though people in California say, Charlie, it's so bad here.

00:34:20.000 I said, no, no, no.

00:34:21.000 Go to Ontario.

00:34:22.000 Go to Toronto.

00:34:24.000 Go to Ottawa.

00:34:24.000 Are you going to give up?

00:34:26.000 One minute remaining, Ezra.

00:34:27.000 No, I love this is my home.

00:34:29.000 I mean, for generations, my family being here, this is my country.

00:34:32.000 I'm not going to give it up without a fight.

00:34:34.000 We fought during the COVID lockdowns, which were extreme up here.

00:34:38.000 Remember the Canadian truckers?

00:34:39.000 Of course I did.

00:34:39.000 They came and they broke the fever and they set an example for the world.

00:34:43.000 And remember, no politicians supported them.

00:34:45.000 They didn't have a big super PAC behind them.

00:34:49.000 It was grassroots people saying enough is enough.

00:34:51.000 That inspires me, those truckers.

00:34:53.000 So we're going to keep fighting.

00:34:54.000 And again...

00:34:55.000 I'm a glass half full guy.

00:34:57.000 The Conservative leader of Canada got the highest vote that his party has received in a generation.

00:35:02.000 I think that he'll break through next time.

00:35:05.000 He's got a conservative working class coalition, including young people.

00:35:10.000 It's pretty unique around the world.

00:35:12.000 I think it can win.

00:35:14.000 And I would just say to our American friends, don't give up on us.

00:35:17.000 Don't annex us.

00:35:18.000 You don't need to.

00:35:19.000 You already have a free trade agreement that'll give you all the oil and gas and minerals you can buy.

00:35:23.000 So you don't need to annex us.

00:35:25.000 That spooked Canadians.

00:35:27.000 That's, frankly, a reason why the liberals eked out a win.

00:35:30.000 But let's get back to being best friends.

00:35:32.000 You can be Batman and we'll be Robin.

00:35:34.000 We're the junior partner in the friendship.

00:35:36.000 But let's be best friends again, is what I have to say.

00:35:38.000 Ezra, God bless you, my friend.

00:35:40.000 Hope to see you soon.

00:35:41.000 It's a depressing picture from my view, but your optimism and positivity is remarkable and noteworthy.

00:35:46.000 Thank you.

00:35:48.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:35:50.000 I just love that.

00:35:51.000 It's amazing.

00:35:52.000 What's the best thing about being surrounded?

00:35:54.000 I guess you can metaphorically shoot in any direction.

00:35:57.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:35:59.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:36:01.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
