it for the last like year and a half it's felt that polyev has has generally been uh structuring
00:00:08.280
his discourse around like being as moderate as possible to not scare away potential liberal
00:00:13.320
voters like dis disillusioned liberal voters do you see much of that in in his 100 reaction to
00:00:18.680
the tariffs 100 like he like you know the only per like i think danielle had a different stance
00:00:25.160
on tariffs and everybody says uh max had a different stance yeah max you had a different
00:00:29.180
stance but max unfortunately you're just you're just on the margins and uh and polyev
00:00:35.120
polyev i'd love i'm not a political strategist but i would love to see polyev he could have come out i
00:00:45.600
don't think there would have been any harm in him saying how about we just negotiate how about we
00:00:49.700
just meet trump and negotiate with him or or do something different force the hand of the like he
00:00:56.120
could have done something different i did was literally like play exactly the same liberal like
00:01:02.240
there was nothing about his stance that was different from the liberals like nothing so like
00:01:08.180
give me something but he he indistinguishable i would love to do a test where we take some of
00:01:15.240
the statements on tariffs from each leader of the political party hide the names and then oh yeah
00:01:22.320
see people can actually tell who said what because they are not that different well you could what's
00:01:28.400
the conservative you could do that on tariffs and you could actually do that on every liberal candidate
00:01:32.360
right now that's running for the liberal leadership right i mean oh we're going to can the carbon tax
00:01:38.040
we're going to reconsider we're going to lower taxes we're reversing our policy on uh on the inclusion
