The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney BLEW IT with pathetic statement about Trump capturing Maduro!

00:00:00.000 Well, guys, I know I'm not going to shock any of you by saying this, but Prime Minister Mark Carney blew it.

00:00:08.100 His statement in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's operation to capture the communist dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, was embarrassingly bad.

00:00:19.060 And it reveals a lot of weaknesses about Carney as a politician, as well as the Liberal Party itself.

00:00:26.120 Here's the problem for the Liberal Party right now.

00:00:28.940 They are a party that is held together by chewing gum and masking tape in terms of its coalition.

00:00:36.400 Half of the Liberal coalition are Trump derangement syndrome liberals, and the other half are business liberals who, if Trump does something right, maybe they don't like the guy, but they don't want to see him condemned.

00:00:49.020 And so Mark Carney put out a statement on the subject that said absolutely nothing.

00:00:55.240 I predicted this was going to happen.

00:00:57.620 I made a video earlier in the day about the Canadian reaction to the situation, and at that time, the Prime Minister had not yet released his own statement.

00:01:07.940 Anita Anand, our foreign affairs minister, put out something, and it kind of telegraphed what Carney's was going to look like.

00:01:13.840 But after that statement was met with such poor reception, you'd think that Carney would have reworked what he was going to release later and come down more firmly on one side or the other?

00:01:25.240 Nope.

00:01:26.060 He released this absolute pablum that says nothing because he knows half of his base will skewer him if he attacks Trump, and half of his base will skewer him if he doesn't attack Trump. 1.00

00:01:37.760 And I think that he has come down on option number three, which means both sides are going to think he's a complete idiot. 1.00

00:01:44.700 Now, there are always going to be some ride-or-die liberals. 0.99

00:01:47.580 I guess we can say, really, the Liberal Party is broken up into thirds.

00:01:51.420 There is the ride-or-die liberals.

00:01:53.260 There are the TDS liberals.

00:01:55.000 And then there are the business liberals.

00:01:56.580 So Carney chose to only please the ride-or-dies, who are going to be pleased with anything he does, and he has alienated the other two-thirds of the party.

00:02:06.600 I want to take you guys through this statement, and then we had to read something from Rachel Gilmore because it's hilarious.

00:02:11.920 But before I get into it, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show, think about joining the membership for the channel.

00:02:18.380 If you hit the join button below the video, you can join one or two tiers, or one of two tiers.

00:02:23.060 It just helps make the channel more sustainable for me and makes me less reliant on the YouTube algorithm for views and income and all that stuff.

00:02:31.500 So let's read this statement from our Prime Minister, Marcus Jeremy Carney.

00:02:37.840 I actually don't know what his middle name is.

00:02:39.320 I don't even know if it's a J. 0.92

00:02:40.860 But just comedy, guys. 0.64

00:02:43.040 Just sometimes say silly things.

00:02:45.360 Let's read through this statement because you'll get what I mean very quickly when I say that this statement says absolutely nothing and it's going to please nobody.

00:02:53.060 Like, at least be the NDP attacking Trump, or at least be the conservatives who are giving Trump the due credit that he deserves.

00:03:00.620 Do one of the two, my goodness.

00:03:02.380 But here, Mark Carney says,

00:03:04.740 One of the first actions taken by Canada's new government in March 2025 was to impose additional sanctions on Nicolas Maduro's brutally oppressive and criminal regime, unequivocally condemning his grave breaches of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations, and corruption.

00:03:25.020 Canada has not recognized the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election.

00:03:31.700 The Canadian government, therefore, welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people.

00:03:39.900 Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.

00:03:48.880 In keeping with our long-standing commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, and human rights, Canada calls on all parties to respect international law.

00:03:58.580 We stand by the Venezuelan people's sovereign right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful, democratic society.

00:04:04.820 Canada attaches great importance to resolution of crises through multilateral engagement and is in close contact with international partners about ongoing developments.

00:04:17.300 We are first and foremost ready to assist Canadians through our consular officials and our embassy in Bodega, Colombia, and will continue to support Venezuelan refugees.

00:04:28.600 What is the statement at all?

00:04:32.340 Trump isn't even mentioned in it. 0.99

00:04:35.140 It's pathetic. 0.99

00:04:36.740 Like, here's the... 1.00

00:04:37.660 This is such a stupid line. 0.99

00:04:40.500 Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. 1.00

00:04:48.380 This is like whenever you see liberals, when it comes to an issue having to do with Israel, just says,

00:04:54.240 oh, we believe in a two-state solution.

00:04:55.800 It's like, okay, that's nice.

00:04:58.660 Hamas is murdering people, so we would like your acknowledgement that Israel should be able to actually defend itself. 0.63

00:05:05.020 And they'll never be able to say that because their base is full of people who just have this deep, irrational hatred of Israel.

00:05:11.680 And in this case, too, because the Liberal Party base has a deep, irrational hatred of Donald Trump,

00:05:18.320 they're just saying, oh, we support a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process. 1.00

00:05:23.300 Okay, well, that's not going to happen, idiot. 0.99

00:05:26.240 So what are we going to do now that we know that's not going to happen? 0.99

00:05:29.660 Is no violence required to sometimes make something happen?

00:05:33.180 Because then you're just saying the dictators always win.

00:05:36.140 Because if they're willing to be obstinate and not let their opposition actually take control of the government,

00:05:42.520 even though they won the election, well, then they'll never be removed.

00:05:45.440 So Donald Trump ended up greasing the wheels of change and actually forced something to happen,

00:05:51.500 losing no American lives in the process and not even a single piece of military equipment.

00:05:56.340 I think the man deserves a bit of a name check here and deserves to actually be congratulated.

00:06:01.580 But no, Mark Carney can't do that because the TDS side of his party will be really mad.

00:06:08.000 But the thing is here, if he congratulated Trump, he would have kicked off the TDS people.

00:06:14.960 And if he condemned him, the business liberals who can swing between the liberals and the conservatives

00:06:19.180 would have just voted for the conservatives next election.

00:06:21.940 Not all of them, but he would have lost ground with those voters.

00:06:25.240 And the problem is, on Carney's left right now, is that he can't really lose any more voters.

00:06:31.540 There's no real voters from the NDP to steal.

00:06:34.280 So he's just scared that his current voters may swing over to the NDP

00:06:38.100 because he's not hard enough on Trump about this whole thing.

00:06:41.100 Like, the NDP understand the mission here.

00:06:43.740 They are going hard in for Nicolas Maduro.

00:06:47.720 They are acting like he is their child and Donald Trump is bullying him on the playground.

00:06:53.120 The NDP is irrational.

00:06:54.720 They are delusional on this issue.

00:06:57.800 And Pyropolyev is actually connecting with the majority of Canadians who,

00:07:02.080 whether they like Trump or not, can admit that, yeah, I think it's good that we whack 0.56

00:07:05.700 a communist dictator like Nicolas Maduro and bring him to justice. 0.92

00:07:09.620 They didn't even kill him.

00:07:10.700 They took him and his wife.

00:07:11.680 They're going to be charging him in the southern district of New York

00:07:15.740 and are going to be taking him to court and charging him with all these narco-terrorism-type charges.

00:07:22.000 Fantastic.

00:07:22.440 So Carney has picked door number three where he just makes a statement about nothing

00:07:29.240 because he's too scared of his own coalition falling apart to actually say what he really thinks.

00:07:35.160 Do you think that this is what he really thinks?

00:07:38.180 It's too boring to be what literally anyone thinks.

00:07:42.300 And the guy got absolutely chopped up in the comments.

00:07:45.180 Like, you can even just see my comment right here has 2,000 likes. 0.99

00:07:48.400 I said, pathetic statement. 0.99

00:07:50.600 No moral clarity. 1.00

00:07:52.200 Hedging like a gardener because, you know, half your base wants you to condemn Trump

00:07:56.340 and the other half is rational and knows Maduro was a thug who got what was coming to him.

00:08:01.540 Gad Sad here says, let me translate. 0.96

00:08:04.220 Kanda believes in a feminist foreign policy whereby we spew nonsense and castrated gibberish 0.99

00:08:10.320 that impresses our friends at Davos.

00:08:13.200 Mario Zalaya here says, as expected, another word salad with a touch of weak sauce.

00:08:18.040 You're in a pickle and you know it. 0.98

00:08:19.920 Most of your base knows that Maduro was a narco dictator, a thug. 0.98

00:08:23.780 And likewise, most of your base suffers from Trump derangement syndrome.

00:08:27.640 Hence why you couldn't muster a simple congratulations for a flawless operation

00:08:32.440 and freeing the tens of millions from dictatorship rule.

00:08:36.380 But your biggest concern is how this is going to affect USMCA,

00:08:40.400 given Trump just announced they will be pumping oil from Venezuela,

00:08:43.980 threatening our only bargaining chip.

00:08:45.740 You took too long to negotiate a deal, and now we are all in trouble

00:08:49.720 because of your political negligence.

00:08:51.840 It took you all day to type this message,

00:08:53.900 and you were waiting for Macron's statement first to test the waters?

00:08:57.240 Your moral clarity is as clear as mud. 0.97

00:08:59.480 What an embarrassment.

00:09:00.500 That was a good post by Mario Zalaya here.

00:09:04.340 Mark Nixon says,

00:09:06.220 Mark Carney responds to Venezuela and ignores the bombshell,

00:09:10.600 up to 2 million BPD of Venezuelan heavy crude coming,

00:09:14.460 replacing Canadian oil.

00:09:16.020 This is an economic emergency.

00:09:18.040 Cancel Europe.

00:09:18.780 Call Parliament Monday.

00:09:20.240 Approve Northern Gateway.

00:09:21.460 East Energy East.

00:09:22.760 Keystone XL.

00:09:23.600 Lift the tanker ban.

00:09:24.540 Kill the industrial carbon tax.

00:09:26.360 This is a real human suffering.

00:09:28.720 This is real human suffering in coming.

00:09:31.020 And I get what Mark Nixon means here.

00:09:34.740 He doesn't mean this in the way that leftists mean it,

00:09:37.440 that we should be concerned about what happened because of the prices of oil.

00:09:40.840 I've seen so many leftists pretend all of a sudden they care about the price of oil

00:09:45.760 and how this is going to affect our oil and gas industry.

00:09:48.040 And people are like,

00:09:49.080 you shouldn't celebrate Nicolas Maduro being overthrown because now more Venezuelan oil will

00:09:55.100 go to the United States market and lower the price of Canadian oil.

00:09:58.320 It's like,

00:09:59.100 sorry,

00:09:59.480 are we literally saying that it's good to keep a communist dictator oppressing a people

00:10:05.020 because it might help the price of a barrel of Canadian oil?

00:10:08.920 By the way,

00:10:10.340 you know how we raise the price of Canadian oil?

00:10:13.100 We start shipping it elsewhere,

00:10:15.280 not just the United States,

00:10:16.460 by building pipelines as Mark Nixon was pointing out there.

00:10:20.640 I want to take you through a couple more of these.

00:10:23.240 And then I just want to jump over to the thing that Rachel Gilmore said.

00:10:28.980 Mr. Sunshine Baby says,

00:10:30.200 that's an interesting way of thanking President Trump.

00:10:33.360 We have James Dweck here saying,

00:10:35.500 if Canadian liberals were in charge of the Venezuelan situation,

00:10:38.500 there would be a years long war,

00:10:40.180 millions of refugees and billions spent without any accountability.

00:10:44.180 Groove here says,

00:10:45.500 why is it so hard to just say a simple response saying,

00:10:48.220 why is it so hard to just say a simple response stating your support?

00:10:52.540 You support Maduro being captured and Venezuela is liberated and Venezuela liberated.

00:10:57.860 I don't know.

00:10:58.960 Sorry,

00:10:59.300 Groove that I'm screwing up your comment here.

00:11:02.680 Just like every other world leader.

00:11:04.540 Instead,

00:11:05.240 you have to write this word salad because you know your progressive

00:11:08.320 supporters will leave you if you write the appropriate response.

00:11:11.960 Embarrassing.

00:11:13.040 Absolutely.

00:11:13.720 He is terrified of his own people.

00:11:15.700 Melanie Bennett from Juno News says,

00:11:17.580 it's almost like this multilateral engagement was the problem the entire time.

00:11:22.520 Absolutely.

00:11:23.240 Jasmine Lane says, 0.50

00:11:24.600 but Canada did recognize Hamas.

00:11:28.160 That's a good point.

00:11:29.880 Lionel Logothen here says,

00:11:32.220 yeah,

00:11:32.680 okay,

00:11:33.080 pal,

00:11:33.500 you can't even negotiate with Trump like you promised and you wanted a negotiated solution

00:11:38.200 with the murderous, 0.96

00:11:39.040 with a murderous dictator like Maduro.

00:11:41.220 You're proving to be unqualified to be prime minister.

00:11:44.640 Yeah,

00:11:45.140 these are just great.

00:11:46.860 I,

00:11:47.840 it's so, 1.00

00:11:48.640 it's so stupid. 1.00

00:11:49.360 The fact that Carney thought that this was going to like get him through the situation, 1.00

00:11:54.820 the statement demonstrates his lack of political skill.

00:11:58.020 No,

00:11:58.360 you got to take a real state,

00:12:00.020 uh, 0.99

00:12:00.260 stance or just shut up. 0.99

00:12:03.240 If he actually said nothing at all, 0.99

00:12:05.300 he would be so much better for it.

00:12:07.400 So here's the Rachel Gilmore thing I have to show you now.

00:12:10.200 So Pierre Polly,

00:12:11.980 the leader of the conservative party,

00:12:13.700 as we all know,

00:12:14.520 already put out a congratulations post to Donald Trump earlier in the day.

00:12:19.900 And of course,

00:12:21.720 everyone's favorite,

00:12:22.700 a favorite former journalist,

00:12:24.460 although she was never really a journalist,

00:12:26.400 Rachel Gilmore had to respond.

00:12:28.700 And Rachel Gilmore said,

00:12:30.500 full TDS mode,

00:12:32.480 genuinely horrifying take when you consider there's no technical legal difference between

00:12:37.940 kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Carney and calling this freedom or well wept.

00:12:44.000 My response to this was,

00:12:45.660 it is genuinely horrifying how much the education system in Ontario,

00:12:48.960 failed Rachel Gilmore,

00:12:50.160 that really she can't find a technical or legal difference to capturing Maduro or,

00:12:56.020 or,

00:12:56.300 or kidnapping Maduro or kidnapping Carney.

00:12:58.880 One,

00:12:59.280 we're not kidnapping Maduro. 0.98

00:13:00.820 He got captured because he is a communist dictator and a murderous, 1.00

00:13:05.220 narco-terrorist thug. 0.99

00:13:06.980 I'm pretty sure Mark Carney isn't those things.

00:13:09.760 Mark Carney is a lot of things I don't like,

00:13:12.160 but no,

00:13:12.940 he is not an international criminal.

00:13:14.780 He is not basically knowingly letting cartels be hosted in Canada and taking money from them.

00:13:22.680 I know that Canada does a bad job cracking down on drugs.

00:13:26.060 We have safe supply programs in our cities and that's disgusting.

00:13:29.200 But obviously there is a legal and technical difference between Maduro and Carney,

00:13:33.720 but it doesn't shock me.

00:13:35.000 Gilmore cannot see it.

00:13:36.840 Carney won his election.

00:13:39.000 Maduro didn't.

00:13:40.080 He hasn't won an election in a couple of elections.

00:13:43.660 He didn't win in 2018 and he didn't win in 2024.

00:13:46.980 Both of those were rigged elections where they collected up all the ballots and then they just put out a completely different result.

00:13:52.780 Really?

00:13:53.420 No difference between Carney and Maduro?

00:13:57.020 These people truly believe that Trump is going to come across the border and capture Mark Carney.

00:14:03.260 I'm going to tell you no.

00:14:05.020 It's not going to happen.

00:14:06.020 I know people are joking about it.

00:14:07.760 Oh,

00:14:07.940 why can't Trump come over and capture Carney? 0.87

00:14:10.220 He's also a drug kingpin.

00:14:11.860 You know,

00:14:12.100 David Eby's a drug kingpin.

00:14:14.000 Yeah,

00:14:14.440 I don't like the drug policies of these guys,

00:14:16.460 but obviously they're not.

00:14:17.480 We're all joking.

00:14:18.540 But all these people,

00:14:20.240 either they know,

00:14:21.620 either they're delusional or they're being knowingly obtuse simply to attack pure poly of Donald Trump and defend a communist dictator because many of these people are in fact communists.

00:14:32.880 Actually,

00:14:33.240 we need to talk about one more thing.

00:14:34.680 This is already getting a bit long for the subject matter and it's a bit late.

00:14:39.060 I know I'm going to be uploading this a bit late.

00:14:41.120 I need to show you something funny that happened earlier in the day.

00:14:44.100 So one of the people who responded to pure poly of and said that,

00:14:50.480 you know,

00:14:50.880 to disagree with the statement was this Vancouver city councilor,

00:14:56.260 Sean or who said absolutely unhinged thing to say.

00:15:01.360 Now,

00:15:02.380 if you don't know who Sean or or is,

00:15:05.340 he is an anti-semitic communist pro-terror,

00:15:10.520 pro-drug decriminalization nutcase who snuck his way on to the Vancouver city council because he won where he does like the top two candidates won in a by-election in Vancouver.

00:15:20.960 Basically,

00:15:21.920 basically nobody voted.

00:15:23.180 The ABC party was extremely disorganized and this guy ended up slipping on.

00:15:28.020 There are so many receipts to this guy calling himself a communist,

00:15:31.220 saying crazy stuff about Jewish people in Israel,

00:15:34.240 saying crazy stuff about pretty much any subject under the sun that you think a leftist would sign a sign off,

00:15:40.280 like a sign off on or sound off on.

00:15:43.140 So I responded with this meme where I said,

00:15:46.480 Sean,

00:15:46.820 you're an anti-semitic communist pro-terror activist. 0.96

00:15:50.060 Sit this one out. 0.59

00:15:51.560 To which Sean or replied,

00:15:53.460 this city councilor,

00:15:55.220 I'm none of those things.

00:15:56.420 And this is defamation.

00:15:57.980 Cheers.

00:15:59.300 To which I responded.

00:16:00.680 And this is absolutely still an open offer.

00:16:03.940 Send the lawsuit to me when you're finished writing it up with your box of crayons.

00:16:08.660 Absolutely.

00:16:09.460 I stand by this.

00:16:10.420 Sean or I want to see your lawsuit in my mailbox. 1.00

00:16:15.400 Let's take it to court because I would love to see all of the stupid tweets that you put up in the past 1.00

00:16:20.780 and how you have no leg to stand on by claiming defamation. 0.99

00:16:25.140 Under his own response to me, 1.00

00:16:27.420 people started posting some of his most idiotic takes like this one where he actually said, 0.99

00:16:35.380 I want for this person that said, 1.00

00:16:37.880 this person back in 2021 said,

00:16:40.380 I want for the destruction of both Israel and Canada. 1.00

00:16:43.300 And Sean or said, 0.84

00:16:44.440 well,

00:16:44.860 me too.

00:16:46.020 Me too,

00:16:46.760 son.

00:16:47.120 Me too.

00:16:48.480 Here's another one of his greatest hits.

00:16:50.900 And these are only the ones that seem to actually be,

00:16:53.980 you know,

00:16:54.540 that were actually relevant.

00:16:55.740 And in this other one,

00:16:57.160 he said, 1.00

00:16:57.460 this is slander and Maduro should sue your pathetic lying butt. 1.00

00:17:03.060 That is something he said back in July of 2024, 1.00

00:17:06.120 because in fact,

00:17:07.780 Sean or thinks it's defamation to say that Maduro,

00:17:10.960 I believe this is the context.

00:17:12.420 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:17:13.460 It was something about Maduro rigging the election.

00:17:15.820 And it was very,

00:17:17.260 very bad for people like Christia Freeland and others to say that it was a rigged election and that he needs to go and some other stuff.

00:17:24.940 Hilarious.

00:17:25.960 Hilarious.

00:17:26.580 This guy thinks that he can actually intimidate anyone.

00:17:29.520 He throws,

00:17:30.620 I have to,

00:17:31.200 I have to find this too.

00:17:32.420 He throws this in his bio.

00:17:35.100 In his bio,

00:17:36.740 he calls himself musician,

00:17:38.800 blogger,

00:17:39.340 dishwasher,

00:17:40.280 socialist,

00:17:40.960 city counselor.

00:17:41.720 Imagine throwing dishwasher there.

00:17:44.720 Now I've worked menial jobs where you're doing very basic stuff,

00:17:49.040 but you also can't throw, 0.99

00:17:50.540 but he's just doing a bunch of stupid working class signaling by throwing that in there. 0.99

00:17:54.720 Goodness. 0.99

00:17:55.240 Pretty much everyone has worked a low wage,

00:17:58.440 like sort of small job,

00:18:00.120 small time job before.

00:18:01.740 But right here,

00:18:02.800 socialist.

00:18:03.960 And it's defamatory that I refer to him as a communist,

00:18:06.960 because I have receipts for everything that I said about him.

00:18:09.980 And yes,

00:18:11.120 he is anti-Semitic. 0.51

00:18:12.040 He started like making these crazy posts about Jewish power in Canada and whatnot. 0.88

00:18:16.200 And he's going to try and come after me.

00:18:18.280 Oh my goodness.

00:18:19.400 Anyways,

00:18:20.440 send the lawsuit in Sean.

00:18:22.140 I'd love to read it.

00:18:23.580 Great bedtime reading.

00:18:24.940 And then we'll,

00:18:25.540 we'll,

00:18:25.860 we'll dance.

00:18:26.520 We'll dance in court.

00:18:27.880 Anyways,

00:18:42.460 He's not actually going to do it.

00:18:43.480 And if he does,

00:18:44.080 he's going to lose.

00:18:45.360 Anyways,
