Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool Show, everyone.
00:00:04.060 People have been talking about it for a couple of weeks now,
00:00:07.300 the obvious disdain that President-elect Donald Trump has for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:00:13.280 And you really can't blame him.
00:00:15.420 This has been a long time coming that Trump was just going to come out and just openly start mocking Trudeau
00:00:21.180 because Trudeau was doing it to Trump for years.
00:00:25.080 I find it endlessly fascinating, all of the Canadians who are freaking out,
00:00:30.860 and this is both liberals and even some conservatives saying,
00:00:34.380 I can't believe Trump would say that about our country, about our Prime Minister.
00:00:39.320 And I'm sitting here thinking like, guys, you didn't care when the liberals,
00:00:43.300 every time Polyev and the conservatives said something conservative,
00:00:46.280 they'd be like, you guys are far-right maple mega fascists, Donald Trump 2.0.
00:00:53.380 It's like, guys, we never had everyone clutching their pearls over that crazy rhetoric.
00:00:59.240 It also didn't make any sense because they never actually named a Trump policy that Polyev was pushing,
00:01:04.560 or they could even explain a Trump policy that was bad.
00:01:08.340 Trump is a conservative, and when you actually go through his policies, they're just conservative policies.
00:01:14.060 I can disagree with them here and there on certain issues of trade or foreign policy or whatever,
00:01:19.140 but for the most part, he is well within the normal conservative bandwidth of ideas.
00:01:25.800 But now Trudeau and the liberal media political establishment is sitting here upset
00:01:31.980 that Canadians are also enjoying the fact that Trump is mocking Trudeau.
00:01:37.400 And I'm going to get into it in a little bit here, but there's literally polling out,
00:01:41.240 and I'm not mixing and matching polls to find a result I like.
00:01:44.160 This is from a single poll, and it's a trend they've seen over time from abacus data
00:01:48.780 that Canadians like Donald Trump more than Trudeau.
00:01:52.380 They dislike Trudeau more than Trump.
00:01:54.380 Both of those things are true.
00:01:55.680 It's not even just that not enough people have an opinion on Trump.
00:01:59.160 People have opinions on Trump and Trudeau, and they objectively like Trump better.
00:02:04.300 Before I get into the whole controversy that's going on with the recent Trump post,
00:02:08.460 I just want to remind you guys, if you're not yet a subscriber,
00:02:11.220 make sure you hit the subscribe button, leave a like, leave a comment,
00:02:14.960 and if you want, you can always financially support our legal fund in the description below,
00:02:19.080 as well as pinned at the top of the comments.
00:02:21.580 So here is the thing that Donald Trump had posted to Truth Social yesterday
00:02:25.940 that set the internet ablaze because it was quite funny.
00:02:29.960 And I kind of want to talk a little bit about the background of this,
00:02:32.900 and then also some people with some overwrought pro-Trump opinions about the whole 51st state thing.
00:02:39.080 But Trump here says,
00:02:41.220 It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the great state of Canada.
00:02:47.000 I look forward to seeing the governor again soon so that we may continue our in-depth talks on tariffs and trade,
00:02:53.180 the results of which will be truly spectacular for all.
00:02:56.380 And obviously the joke here is referring to Justin Trudeau as the governor of the great state of Canada.
00:03:02.440 There was this great video, maybe I can even find it here.
00:03:05.820 There was this great video of Trump while he was on his jet deciding whether or not he was going to publish a previous post,
00:03:12.320 basically confirming that, yes, Trump had said that if your economy can't survive without ripping America off
00:03:18.640 for $100 billion a year, then maybe you should just become the 51st state candidate,
00:03:23.220 should become the 51st state, and you can become the governor.
00:03:26.700 And Trump is sitting on the plane deciding if he wants to post this thing.
00:03:34.180 It's really funny to watch him sitting there contemplating.
00:03:37.060 He's just like, just send it out. Just send it out. Do it.
00:03:39.060 As people almost around him are like, I'm not sure if it's a great idea.
00:03:43.520 Am I able to find it here on the fly?
00:03:46.540 Well, it doesn't really matter.
00:03:48.280 Regardless, though, there's all these people who are now saying,
00:03:52.700 I'll go for the polling first.
00:03:55.280 I want to go to the other people who are like, actually, Canada should join the U.S.
00:03:59.860 The polling there actually shows that people don't want to join the U.S.
00:04:03.100 It's not like they like Trump more than Trudeau, so they want to be part of the U.S.
00:04:06.400 No, no, no. They just wish that Trudeau sucked at governing his country less
00:04:11.020 and that, in a certain sense, he was a little bit more like Trump.
00:04:14.220 It doesn't mean people like Trump in terms of it's still a generic Canadian political opinion
00:04:19.880 to just say, I don't like Donald Trump.
00:04:21.920 But look at this.
00:04:22.700 This is from David Coletto from Abacus Data,
00:04:25.520 showing what the approval ratings look like right now between Trump and Justin Trudeau.
00:04:30.480 So here's Donald Trump in November of 2020.
00:04:34.520 So in the last presidential election, he had a positive rating of 11%, neutral 11%.
00:04:40.540 So very few people didn't have an opinion on him.
00:04:43.600 Negative was 77%.
00:04:45.660 So that is a net negative of 66%.
00:04:49.760 Today, his positive has grown 15% to 25%.
00:04:54.820 His neutral is 14%.
00:04:56.560 So that's probably a lot of people.
00:04:57.680 They used to dislike him, and now they don't know what to think.
00:05:01.000 And negative is only 58%.
00:05:02.680 So it's gone down 19 points since then.
00:05:06.400 And that would give him a net negative of like 32%, which is way better than 66%.
00:05:12.880 So here we have Trudeau, November of 2020.
00:05:15.900 Positive rating, 42%.
00:05:17.580 Neutral rating, 22%.
00:05:19.800 Negative, 35%.
00:05:22.180 I guarantee a lot of the neutrals here were a lot of people who generally supported big government COVID policies
00:05:27.380 while they were around, but hadn't yet soured on them.
00:05:32.040 So they were kind of like, didn't know what to think about Trudeau, because we had this kind of like national moment, wrongly, I would suggest,
00:05:38.500 where we were like, we're very behind whatever the government's doing to lock us down and protect us from COVID.
00:05:43.820 So that's November 2020 for Justin Trudeau.
00:05:46.060 So today, his positive rating is only 23%.
00:05:50.200 Donald Trump is 26.
00:05:52.580 So his positive rating is 23%.
00:05:55.080 He has lost 19 points.
00:05:58.000 His neutral rating is 15%.
00:05:59.980 There are literally more, 1% fewer people who are neutral on Trump than Trudeau.
00:06:06.020 And negative is 61%.
00:06:08.200 That is a 26% jump.
00:06:11.340 Trump, this is not like, yeah, if you squint, you can kind of see how people like Trump better than Trudeau.
00:06:17.940 There were some polls out there that weren't quite accurate saying, you know, people like Donald Trump more than Trudeau,
00:06:23.440 because if you see this poll of Canadians, who Canadians would vote for between Kamala Harris and Trump,
00:06:28.500 you know, 26% or 27% would vote for Trump.
00:06:31.460 But Trudeau only has a 23% approval rating.
00:06:34.920 I don't think that quite washes.
00:06:37.160 You can't really compare those two stats.
00:06:38.880 But this stat right here is just straight up.
00:06:41.820 People do not like Justin Trudeau, and they like Donald Trump better.
00:06:46.060 They don't love Donald Trump, but they like him better.
00:06:48.840 They dislike him less.
00:06:50.520 That is the funny thing.
00:06:51.780 There are way more Canadians starting to be like, you know, yeah, I stopped watching the legacy media.
00:06:57.220 I stopped just assuming that because Lisa Laflam rolled her eyes at Donald Trump that he's a bad man.
00:07:04.260 Because again, name me the actual bad policies of Donald Trump.
00:07:07.820 You can say things you disagree with, but just flat out bad.
00:07:11.440 It's just like you want to destroy the U.S., all this stuff.
00:07:14.680 It's not.
00:07:15.720 Canadians are as anti-mass immigration as the Americans are at this point.
00:07:20.220 They understand why you would have to cut the budget.
00:07:23.120 65% of Canadians think we spend way too much.
00:07:26.320 I'd say that's probably a little bit higher in the U.S.
00:07:28.440 But yeah, there's a lot of partisan agreement on the sort of things that Trump is pushing.
00:07:35.660 Now, personality-wise, you can like him or dislike him, but politics honestly doesn't have much to do with personality.
00:07:42.000 Like, it's a factor because people care about personalities of people, but it's not really a factor when it comes to success overall.
00:07:48.280 Other than you want people who can actually, like, stay the course.
00:07:52.820 I just want to quickly pull up on the polling on whether Canada should become the 50-first state of the U.S.
00:08:00.960 This is silly, so this is just proving.
00:08:03.100 It is a different poll.
00:08:04.140 I believe this was Angus Reid.
00:08:05.820 I'm just proving that it's not because there is this big 50-first state movement.
00:08:09.200 Honestly, I find it kind of obnoxious when people on social media start pushing this.
00:08:14.480 Guys, Justin Trudeau sucks.
00:08:17.100 Canada's not very great right now, but I would rather not just surrender as soon as we have to have a nine-year period of Trudeau and want to join the U.S.
00:08:25.740 It's also not good to pull your eggs in one basket, put all the Western countries combined together, so that if anything goes bad, everything goes bad.
00:08:33.260 I'd rather countries be divided up or continents be divided up a little more so that we can have democratic experiments on either side of the border.
00:08:42.400 I think the U.S. is doing better than Canada right now, but like I've said in previous videos, Canada at different times in history was better than the United States.
00:08:50.520 Harper's Canada was way better than Barack Obama's America.
00:08:54.240 Anyways, but this result, as you can see here, says to the question, would you or would you not like Canada to become the 51st state of the United States?
00:09:02.460 Only 13% said yes, 82% said no, and even then, I think most of the yes people are just signaling how much they dislike Trudeau, but aren't that serious about it.
00:09:14.780 Considering even the NDP, which was the most no option, only 94% of them said that they don't want to join the U.S., and I think it would be pretty difficult for us to find anyone who actually votes NDP who would want to become the 51st state.
00:09:31.060 It's just because people say whatever the option is that reflects most negatively on the current government.
00:09:37.940 Well, anyways, I'm going to move on to some other issues.
00:09:40.980 That was just the first thing I wanted to talk about there.
00:09:43.260 Again, this is something that Justin Trudeau had coming, the mockery that he is getting from both Donald Trump as well as more conservative media in the U.S., because Justin Trudeau was nasty.
00:09:54.340 He belittled Trump when he was the president.
00:09:57.060 After he was the president, he attacked his own opposition as being evil and far right because they are vaguely like Donald Trump, even though, again, Donald Trump is a fairly generic conservative in many ways.
00:10:08.600 And now Trudeau is potentially putting Canada at risk of tariffs because of all this ridiculous behavior.
00:10:15.220 I don't think that the 25% tariffs are actually going to get implemented.
00:10:19.800 It would just be bad for the U.S. too.
00:10:21.860 I think Trump likes to make very big ultimatums saying you better crack down on border crossings, especially terrorists, because more than 10 times more terrorists cross the Canadian border who are on the terror watch list than cross the Mexican border.
00:10:35.440 So as long as we just start to treat that issue a little bit more carefully, I guarantee we avoid the tariffs.
00:10:42.900 I don't think Trump wants to hurt his own economy through tariffs with Canada, who the U.S. trades with disproportionately to any other country on the planet.
00:10:52.360 Now, let's move on to another issue, and that is crazy activists in our government.
00:10:58.660 There was a couple of hearings today on, like, extremism or hate or whatever, and this is Faye Johnson, who is testifying in front of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, who is a trans activist, and if you ever follow their rhetoric, a little bit insane.
00:11:21.440 So this is something that was actually said at a committee meeting that liberal MPs, NDP MPs are sharing because they think this stuff's good.
00:11:29.780 This is fire.
00:11:31.200 I would challenge, bluntly, any conservative member of parliament on this committee to look me in the eye and say that Pierre Polyev's comments about gender ideology are anything short of propagating conspiracy and hostility towards queer and trans people.
00:11:43.880 That's just not true at all.
00:11:46.280 Gender theory being taught in the classrooms around Canada is absolutely a reality.
00:11:50.880 It is a disgusting reality.
00:11:53.320 So that's what SOGI 1-2-3 is.
00:11:54.720 It's not the curriculum, but it's a way of doing anti-bullying type work in the classroom.
00:12:01.160 Someone gets bullied for some sort of reason of their sex or whatever or their gender expression.
00:12:07.680 Now a teacher gets to go over to their box and pull out the gender theory kit and talk about gender theory to raise sensitivity in the classroom,
00:12:15.220 which is just a way of propagating a pseudoscientific theory that somehow you can be a woman in a man's body or a man in a woman's body or somewhere in between on a spectrum.
00:12:27.800 So somehow somebody can be the opposite.
00:12:29.720 But there's also a spectrum, which is contradictory if it's binary or not binary.
00:12:35.880 But I'll let Faye Johnson keep going here.
00:12:38.840 Those comments throw gasoline on the fire of rising hate, even as we see the freedom and rights of members of our community restricted.
00:12:44.800 Where? Where? Tell me where.
00:12:49.100 Where has your rights, where has trans people's rights been, like, restricted in Canada?
00:12:55.620 It's not happening.
00:12:57.560 It's happening nowhere.
00:12:59.020 Oh, because you don't get special rights, you don't get certain, you don't, like, because teenagers, middle schoolers are not allowed to transition with powerful hormone blockers and whatnot that are bad for their bodies objectively.
00:13:15.120 That is now restricting trans rights.
00:13:17.860 These people are communists, and that's why everything that they want from the government, every sort of violation of family, which is the parent's ability to basically say no and be the arbiter of what a kid can and cannot consent for.
00:13:32.640 I don't even think a parent can consent on behalf of their child to take hormone blockers because that is a decision that you can only make as an adult yourself.
00:13:40.280 But none of this is restricting rights.
00:13:42.240 They're asking for privileges.
00:13:43.740 Bay Johnson here is asking for privileges, and if you don't give those privileges, you're attacking our rights.
00:13:48.940 This is the stupid communist game going on, trying to pretend to be oppressed because you are not elevated.
00:13:54.360 And many of us, as you have heard, terrified that the direction Canada is headed in.
00:13:58.720 I would urge those same MPs to tweet their support of transgender rights, our rights to dignity, to freedom, and watch what happens next.
00:14:07.560 Watch when your supporters turn on you and accuse you of supporting pedophilia, grooming, and all sorts of related filth.
00:14:13.740 Simply for supporting a minority's freedom.
00:14:17.780 Watch as you are reprimanded by members of your leader's staff.
00:14:21.300 Is it not a little bit weird when you have a man dressed as a woman doing drag queen story hours?
00:14:30.440 Is that not something that we can say is concerning?
00:14:33.340 That you're not grooming children in the illegal sense, but you're trying to open up kids to very bizarre behavior at a time in their life where they probably should not even have the option of choosing something like that.
00:14:46.820 Whenever you see one of those drag kids, one of those young boys who is acting as like a young drag queen, do you really see that it's just a normal soccer dad behind that kid?
00:14:58.820 Or is it usually a very specific type of parent set who is leading that kid and encouraging them into that very bizarre type of activity?
00:15:09.080 That's what people have a problem with.
00:15:11.280 Is you are platforming people who are not generally normal role models that you want for your children.
00:15:17.020 And I think that a society, a normal Western society, should have barriers for who gets to talk to children.
00:15:23.980 No, the funny thing is, I guarantee you, there would be way more outcry if there was a pastor reading stories to children.
00:15:30.780 If there was a Mr. Rogers type figure reading stories to children, the left would say, well, that's weird.
00:15:36.120 It's a grown man reading stories to children in a room alone.
00:15:39.760 That's weird. He's pushing Christo fascist type rhetoric because he's a Christian man that these are the type of people who will attack anyone for who's conservative for doing something.
00:15:50.420 But if you're a bizarre person with prosthetics on dressed up in a scantily clad manner, oh, yeah, let's have that person in front of kids.
00:15:58.580 That's normal for showing your support for transgender people.
00:16:02.140 I am scared of where we are headed. If anti-queer and anti-trans hate rises, I know where it leads.
00:16:08.320 It leads to acts of extreme violence that result in lost lives, made possible by a tsunami of everyday acts of exclusion, discrimination and violence that will make life a living hell for transgender and queer people on this land.
00:16:21.360 They always have this thing every year, and it's like the Day of Remembrance for about trans violence or something like that.
00:16:27.240 Trans Day of Remembrance. There's like failingly low amounts of people who are trans who are getting attacked.
00:16:34.960 Are they being disproportionately attacked? I've seen stats that say it's pretty much average, maybe even below average, a little bit above average.
00:16:42.400 It's hard to get stats on a population that's that small.
00:16:45.400 But hasn't it been true that like the like a bunch of the past mass shooters in the United States have been trans just pointing it out that we probably should be getting a different type of care for those people if they for some reason think that people disagreeing with them results in should result in like violence being justified.
00:17:06.040 You even have NDP MLAs. This is common. This is a few people have done this where they'll wear their shirt that says protect trans kids with like a rose and like a dagger on it.
00:17:16.940 It's a little bit unhinged. And the thing is that this is very much promoted in the community.
00:17:22.600 Now I just want to move on to something else. So I'm not sure if you guys have seen that Rachel Gilmore is speaking at in front of a panel today about extremism in government.
00:17:35.160 This is bizarre that they're having this person who is basically what I would say is a cutout for anti-hate, the anti-hate, and it's like the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and Antifa.
00:17:47.780 She basically acts as the journalistic, journalistic go-between for these two organizations.
00:17:53.460 I had actually called her out briefly or very shortly before she was fired from Global News for having harassed a person on Twitter who was literally in a Facebook group chat that got like leaked where they were just telling people that this is during the whole thing where James Topp was marching across Canada and he'd gotten to Ottawa and Gilmore had smeared him as like a far right white nationalist.
00:18:17.860 This one lady, Bratney, on Twitter, many of you may know who Bratney is.
00:18:23.440 She posts a lot of stuff about all the crazy Calistani people around Canada, but she on a Facebook profile that was under her real name, but this was all being posted in a private group, was just encouraging people to go on X and even politely disagree with Rachel Gilmore, reply to her, quote tweet her, showing that she's wrong about James Topp.
00:18:44.960 And this is defamatory, and this is defamatory.
00:18:46.260 That was considered an offense to Rachel Gilmore.
00:18:49.680 And so she basically amplified personal information that they had dug up on Bratney, and they're like, well, some of it was on her public Facebook profile.
00:18:59.520 Okay, but that's still doxing.
00:19:02.580 If the person's Twitter profile is anonymous, you cannot then try and dig through reverse image searching everything they post and try and find her on Facebook and then elevate all of her details, including where she works, and then they try to harass her workplace to get her fired.
00:19:18.920 After Bratney had brought this up to Gilmore publicly that you are harassing me, you are spreading doxed information, please stop, Rachel Gilmore then quote tweeted the information again and said, you mean this stuff?
00:19:30.700 And then tried to make a defense that, oh, it's not actually doxing because it was public information.
00:19:36.220 There's a lot of things.
00:19:37.320 You can find pretty much anything publicly.
00:19:38.900 Doxing is when you take something that not many people would know, and you shine a giant spotlight on it.
00:19:46.160 That is doxing, and it's usually for malicious intent, which this was.
00:19:50.840 They were trying to get a single mother fired from her job.
00:19:54.460 Really classy.
00:19:55.640 But this lady was brought in as an expert about hate.
00:19:58.640 Hey, everyone.
00:19:59.760 Thanks for having me.
00:20:01.500 This is obviously a very important topic, and I have some big feelings about it.
00:20:06.500 Yeah, the true professional on hatred comes in to talk about her big feelings on this really important topic.
00:20:15.180 This lady obviously has been harassed based on her very professional behavior here.
00:20:19.420 She's a victim.
00:20:20.260 So to kick things off, I'm sure you all remember the Freedom Convoy.
00:20:24.700 Yeah?
00:20:25.940 Well, as part of my coverage at the time, I joined several Telegram channels and groups where organizers and supporters gathered to exchange everything from planning details
00:20:35.840 to fringe conspiracy theories.
00:20:38.620 And you might not have realized this, but it was actually just days after the convoy.
00:20:43.300 Actually, you guys probably do know this.
00:20:45.400 Just days after the convoy.
00:20:46.300 Is she on, like, lithium or something?
00:20:47.920 This is so weird.
00:20:49.200 Like, she's on, like, quaaludes while testifying in Parliament.
00:20:52.740 The convoy that Russia invaded Ukraine.
00:20:55.980 So it was really interesting, an interesting time to be monitoring all of those telegram channels, because all of a sudden, the ones that have been posting about the convoy and COVID,
00:21:08.380 groups with tens of thousands of members primed to distrust experts, government, media, and institutions, shifted to posting about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:21:17.620 Often claiming that Russia's invasion was actually justified because of reasons the government and the mainstream media won't tell you.
00:21:25.900 She's just so weird in this entire video.
00:21:28.260 And the funny thing is that I'm one of these people, I hate all the stupid pro-Russia stuff.
00:21:33.240 People don't understand how NATO works.
00:21:35.420 They don't understand the lead up to the Russian-Ukraine war.
00:21:38.440 I can link a video below that does a really good debunking of a lot of the stuff that NATO agreed not to move one inch closer to Russia.
00:21:45.380 That literally never happened. Gorbachev even confirmed it never happened.
00:21:48.920 Do you know that Putin and Russia tried to join NATO a few times?
00:21:51.660 And they even said several times, and it was on their own Russian's website because they had posted the video and left it up,
00:21:56.800 that there was this video and an interview of Putin basically saying, yeah, I don't really care if Ukraine joins NATO.
00:22:01.820 They're supposed to take care of their own security concerns as we take care of our own.
00:22:06.160 It's not true.
00:22:07.060 But the thing is, Gilmore is at this parliamentary hearing trying to now propose that because she finds people that you would disagree with in a telegram group,
00:22:18.860 that this is evidence of Russian interference in Canada.
00:22:22.360 This is following along behind the heels of Lauren Southern speaking in front of the parliamentary committee.
00:22:30.900 And while I don't agree with everything that Lauren Southern said there,
00:22:34.820 generally she was right that the liberals right now are trying to very much manufacture a narrative
00:22:41.800 that all the disagreement with Justin Trudeau these days, all with his woke policies, with his approach to foreign policy,
00:22:49.840 it's all because of Russian disinformation.
00:22:52.660 It's all because of online extremism pushed from Russia or whatever boogeyman country.
00:22:58.720 And again, I don't like Russia, but they are acting like making it a boogeyman,
00:23:02.820 trying to make it the progenitor of all things bad in the world.
00:23:06.420 It is accurate to say that that is what they're doing.
00:23:10.680 The liberals are trying to basically pretend that disagreement with liberals is actually because of online disinformation
00:23:17.640 to then justify things like greater censorship on social media platforms, on YouTube, of just any Canadian content in media.
00:23:27.500 It helps them push their Bill C-63 thing, which is all about combating hatred online,
00:23:33.280 and that, well, there's hatred in this random telegram group.
00:23:36.380 And there probably is hatred in some random telegram groups.
00:23:39.360 But that's justification that we should now pass this absolutely insane Bill
00:23:43.840 that allows the government to place you under house arrest and make you wear an ankle monitor
00:23:48.940 if someone says, reports that you might commit a hate crime, a fake crime based around being hateful.
00:23:56.920 It literally, the wording they use is, it is a crime to detest somebody or somebody or something in a very extreme manner.
00:24:08.760 It shouldn't be.
00:24:10.220 I go online all the time, and I go after weirdo anti-Semites.
00:24:14.680 I go after hateful people on the left.
00:24:16.760 I go after some hateful people on the right, because many of these people who are on the right,
00:24:21.200 who I consider hateful, tend to actually be more of these kind of woke right collectivists,
00:24:27.260 but they're just collectivists and socialists around conservative traditional things,
00:24:31.540 but they're not actually classical liberals who believe in, like, freedom and equality.
00:24:35.920 Not equity, but, you know, legal equality and freedom of movement and family and all this stuff.
00:24:41.040 They're much more, like, big state people.
00:24:43.280 They exist, but the law should never be applied to people having stupid ideas or hateful opinions.
00:24:49.360 The thing is that all of this stuff would never get applied to people on the left
00:24:54.840 who are celebrating the death of that UnitedHealthcare CEO in New York City.
00:25:00.340 Their left is celebrating the Luigi guy who ended up killing him.
00:25:04.260 And people like Taylor Lorenz, who is, like, the Rachel Gilmore of the U.S.,
00:25:08.300 was even celebrating it.
00:25:09.780 Someone who used to work at the Washington Post.
00:25:12.400 Even people like Rachel Gilmore and her friend Erica Ifill, who I call Black Hitler,
00:25:17.620 because Erica Ifill is just a flat-out racist.
00:25:20.860 She's a black lady who happens to be a massive racist.
00:25:24.140 That all these people are the types who like to spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Israel,
00:25:28.920 who like to justify all the Israeli soccer fans being beaten in Amsterdam.
00:25:34.300 They like to justify terrorism.
00:25:36.580 But then, if you said something wrong in the wrong telegram chat,
00:25:40.920 Rachel's coming after you.
00:25:42.460 It's absolutely wild.
00:25:43.940 But all this requires me to play this stupid video because I find it funny.
00:25:49.480 It is an edited video, but I just did find it funny.
00:25:53.020 This is from the Pleb Reporter on X, but I just did like the edit of Trudeau over Rachel Gilmore.
00:26:00.180 Hey, everyone.
00:26:01.560 Thanks for having me.
00:26:03.460 This is obviously a very important topic, and I have some big feelings about it.
00:26:08.260 I can't get over the fact that she even said that.
00:26:11.060 You think that this would be you and your best behavior,
00:26:13.800 that you're not going to try and sound like a complete, like,
00:26:17.400 you're not going to try and sound like a schoolgirl here?
00:26:19.780 It's bad.
00:26:20.460 Here's another clip from the committee meeting.
00:26:30.720 I'm not sure if this is at all interesting,
00:26:32.360 so I might cut it off if this becomes uninteresting,
00:26:34.840 but it's just a minute and 15.
00:26:36.240 Actually, now I give the floor to Ms. Gilmore
00:26:37.820 for an opening statement of up to five minutes.
00:26:40.200 Ms. Gilmore.
00:26:40.920 All right.
00:26:41.680 Never mind.
00:26:42.220 That's the same one again.
00:26:43.320 The problem with these committee meetings is sometimes it takes people a while
00:26:46.040 to actually clip them up.
00:26:47.180 And you could say, well, why?
00:26:48.220 You're supposed to be clipping it up, but I'm deeply lazy, so I don't want to.
00:26:53.700 It's more so that it just takes forever to do it.
00:26:56.360 But yeah, so what else do we really have going on?
00:26:59.080 Is there anything really else happening that I need to cover here?
00:27:02.920 Sometimes I have to go through my...
00:27:05.180 Okay, yeah, we have another one.
00:27:07.340 The liberals trying to call the conservatives the anti-worker party.
00:27:10.660 So this is Stephen McKinnon, who actually, I think,
00:27:14.260 around the same time last year in December,
00:27:16.020 I was making fun of him for this ridiculous press conference with Mark Gerritsen.
00:27:20.400 But here's him trying to claim that pure poly was the most anti-worker leader
00:27:23.880 in Canadian history.
00:27:25.160 Mr. Speaker, Bill C-377 and Bill C-525
00:27:31.680 will go down in history as some of the most oppressively anti-labor legislation
00:27:38.080 ever passed in this parliament.
00:27:40.560 One of the very first acts of this government was to repeal both of those pieces of legislation.
00:27:48.300 The author of those pieces of legislation was none other than the leader of the opposition,
00:27:55.380 its chief architect, its chief salesman.
00:27:58.280 He's the most anti-worker leader ever elected to this House of Commons.
00:28:03.080 Do you know what apparently makes pure poly a very anti-worker?
00:28:07.820 That they had legislation that made it so that Canadians didn't have to join labor unions
00:28:13.800 or that things would actually have to be voted on by labor union members
00:28:18.520 in a open process so that a union boss cannot bully their members
00:28:24.000 into just shutting up and having them misportray what the workers actually want.
00:28:29.220 So if anything, it was a transparency law around labor.
00:28:34.040 Also, the liberals are, I would say they're flat out anti-worker
00:28:38.180 because they're just pro-union worker.
00:28:40.320 They don't actually care about workers in general.
00:28:42.720 They care about unionized workers.
00:28:44.860 They have this new what they call an anti-scab law that they're pushing,
00:28:48.300 which is just, I can't describe anything other than it's like an old Italian fascist piece of legislation.
00:28:55.520 It is a way of making it so you, a business, if a private or public sector workers strike,
00:29:02.160 and this is exactly what's happening with Canada Post right now,
00:29:05.040 if they strike, you cannot hire replacement workers.
00:29:08.080 Even if they're just temporary, you cannot do it.
00:29:10.940 You must negotiate with the union and you cannot force them back to work.
00:29:15.420 You can't force them to do anything.
00:29:16.860 And you are forced to go through negotiations with them.
00:29:20.180 And some people out there might say, well, that's good.
00:29:22.200 We should negotiate.
00:29:23.260 They should hear them out.
00:29:24.160 But the problem is, when you're saying you can't hire replacement workers
00:29:27.540 and you can't fire the workers, you're basically saying the union wins.
00:29:31.360 The only option for the business is to have a massive pile of cash sitting around
00:29:36.420 for them to use to pay to keep the lights on, to weather the storm,
00:29:41.600 and so that they can maybe hold out for them, the workers,
00:29:44.280 and then the workers have to come to negotiate or go back to work
00:29:47.080 because they personally run out of money.
00:29:49.120 And I even believe that they're forcing the businesses to keep paying some of these people
00:29:52.460 during that time.
00:29:53.680 It is just saying that the workers win.
00:29:56.260 The people don't realize that fascism, and I've said this before,
00:29:59.840 and I know many people on the left always freak out.
00:30:02.480 Do you know what fascism means?
00:30:05.120 The Italians, because it's based on an ideology called syndicalism from France.
00:30:10.500 The French unions call themselves syndicates.
00:30:14.240 You know, unions in North America would call themselves trade unions or unions,
00:30:19.580 labor union, worker unions.
00:30:20.900 And then in Italy, they called their unions fascio, as bundles.
00:30:25.880 We are a bundle of workers.
00:30:28.040 And so fascism means basically trade unionism, syndicalism.
00:30:33.580 It is a ideology that the unions and the government should run the economy.
00:30:37.860 And that bill from Seamus O'Regan, who was the labor minister,
00:30:42.040 I'm not sure if he stepped down yet, but at least he's declared he's not running again.
00:30:45.160 It is a way to make it so that unions get to monopolize power over work,
00:30:50.440 over top of the businesses that they work for.
00:30:52.540 So now, if you're a private business and your workforce is not unionized yet,
00:30:57.360 you will, like, move heaven and earth to not let them,
00:31:00.200 or else they basically take over the business and they tell you what's going on.
00:31:03.920 And if you don't go along with it, they strike,
00:31:06.460 and you can't do anything about it until you're forced to meet at least some of their demands.
00:31:10.940 It is authoritarianism from the mob onto the private business owner.
00:31:16.500 And people, and this is the healthcare CEO thing that's going on,
00:31:19.240 well, they're rich.
00:31:21.060 Okay, they're the ones who started the business.
00:31:23.320 They're the ones who run it.
00:31:24.880 What's your problem here?
00:31:26.360 The fact that you didn't do it?
00:31:28.160 I always hate this kind of thing about even people on the right will kind of do this anti-elite thing
00:31:33.340 where, well, that person made money, so I don't care about them.
00:31:37.240 Okay, whatever.
00:31:38.020 Yeah, I guess you're a genius.
00:31:39.800 I guess you should be in charge of everything
00:31:41.440 because apparently you know how to run a business better than this guy who was being paid
00:31:45.640 because he's actually good at increasing profitability,
00:31:49.040 which ends up helping workers over time.
00:31:51.420 But what do I know?
00:31:52.560 But yeah, I don't remember the bill's name.
00:31:54.760 I made a video on it.
00:31:55.720 But that's the thing.
00:31:57.060 The liberals are not anti-worker in the sense that they are in favor of unionized workers,
00:32:01.520 but they hate non-unionized workers.
00:32:03.900 And all of these pieces of legislation, all these rules and regulations,
00:32:07.540 make it so that a small group of people get more and more benefits for themselves.
00:32:12.320 It is a labor cartel that people who are a part of it get more money,
00:32:16.280 while people who are not part of it do not.
00:32:17.980 And I've had people in my comments before saying,
00:32:20.300 well, you should just join a union then because then you get more money.
00:32:23.320 Well, one, I don't like seniority nonsense.
00:32:25.740 Like, not that I'm joining a union.
00:32:26.960 I'm a YouTuber and I do like other contract type stuff.
00:32:30.180 But yeah, but it's all based on seniority nonsense where we don't actually award merit,
00:32:34.720 which I think is absolutely against the principles of classical liberalism and conservatism.
00:32:39.660 But even then, if everyone joined a union, well, everything would just fall apart
00:32:43.520 because everyone extracting extremely high benefits would either cause massive inflation,
00:32:48.840 making your higher benefits worth nothing,
00:32:50.820 or the entire system would collapse because of the extremely high cost of the extra benefits,
00:32:58.040 the wages and the mandated growth and whatnot enforced through strike that the government will always back up.
00:33:04.780 It's insane.
00:33:05.500 Anyways, that's my labor rant right there.
00:33:09.120 No doubt if I ever run for office, the left will pull that up and say why it's against workers.
00:33:13.880 No, I am in favor of workers.
00:33:15.460 I don't like how unions cram down on most workers so that a small group of lazy workers gets disproportionate benefits.
00:33:23.760 That's it for me today, guys.
00:33:25.060 That's it for the Wyatt Claypool Show.
00:33:26.800 So I always remind you guys, subscribe to the channel, like this video, leave a comment if you want.
00:33:32.760 And now I am at $34,000 I've paid into defending myself in this stupid legal case with this Chinese billionaire,
00:33:39.880 accusing the National Telegraph of defaming him.
00:33:42.640 We did not defame him.
00:33:44.320 He is basically just whining at us.
00:33:45.900 And in over three years, he has not submitted any actual evidence to show that we defamed him
00:33:51.160 or even show a logical gap in anything we said.
00:33:54.160 In fact, everything our guest writer had said about this guy in an article about all these people connected with the CCP in China
00:34:02.000 donating to O'Toole's leadership campaign,
00:34:04.560 we based everything we pretty much said off of a long Globe and Mail investigation from Robert Fyfe and Stephen Chase,
00:34:11.220 at least as far as it goes to the guy who's suing us.
00:34:14.340 Everything we said about him was already reported on, but he didn't want to sue the Globe and Mail because they'd win easily.
00:34:21.000 He assumed that he could sue me, who was 22 at the time,
00:34:24.980 and I was just going to beg for forgiveness and give him a nonsense apology
00:34:28.400 so that he could pretend that, see, everything people say about me is false.
00:34:32.580 It's not false.
00:34:33.480 He's going to lose this case, and I'm going to keep sticking through it.
00:34:36.000 But if you guys can donate anything to that case, the legal fund really helps me out
00:34:40.580 because obviously I've not generated that much money from this channel and doing what I do yet.
00:34:46.860 Anyways, so that's it for me today, guys.
00:34:48.820 See you later.
