The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Carney is a COWARD - Running away from the Liberal base!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.000 Recently, it's felt like the tables have turned, at least rhetorically,

00:00:10.540 between Pierre Polyev's conservatives and Mark Carney's liberals. For a while,

00:00:15.980 it felt like the Polyev conservatives were very listless in their messaging,

00:00:20.240 like they weren't willing to aggressively take on the liberals. They would criticize

00:00:24.500 things the liberals were doing or not doing, but they wouldn't offer a bold vision of what could

00:00:30.760 be done if they were in charge, and I think that it was feeling a bit shallow to the Canadian public.

00:00:36.860 But after Polyev did a messaging reset on U.S.-Canada trade, I think he is regaining his

00:00:42.760 footing, and he's actually out in Europe right now touring around demonstrating he can do a better

00:00:48.120 job at prime minister than Mark Carney can. And now Mark Carney is running away from his

00:00:54.480 own statement on Iran, realizing that his own party's base is full of a bunch of anti-American

00:01:00.380 radicals who can't even stand Carney congratulating Trump for the successful strikes on an Islamic 1.00

00:01:07.060 theocracy in the Middle East. That is where we are at right now in Canadian politics, at least on the 0.51

00:01:13.340 liberal side. You will literally have to side with an Islamic theocracy because your own base hates

00:01:19.360 Donald Trump that much. It's absolutely insane, but this is the country that we currently live in.

00:01:25.220 In just a second here, I want to take you guys to the clip of Mark Carney running away from his

00:01:30.540 own statement, and then I want to talk about some of the polling numbers that back up why Carney

00:01:35.700 probably did this, and also his electoral strategy going into some of these upcoming by-elections.

00:01:42.180 But before we get into that, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show,

00:01:45.940 make sure to leave a like on this video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber,

00:01:50.740 leave a comment with what you think about the situation, and if you want to support the show,

00:01:55.180 consider hitting the join button below the video and making a small monthly contribution for making

00:02:00.580 the channel more sustainable for me, as well as allowing me to be less reliant on the YouTube

00:02:05.760 algorithm for income. I also want to apologize, I did that notification about a Nanaimo 1BC event

00:02:13.460 that happened yesterday. The event happened, it was fantastic, it was a packed house, but I think I

00:02:18.880 notified people so late that if you signed up, you probably didn't actually get the email about where

00:02:23.960 the location was, because it went out before that. If I confused you yesterday, mea culpa, I apologize,

00:02:30.440 although maybe it's probably good that you wouldn't have been able to come, because it was actually

00:02:34.320 such a packed house, I think we would have hit fire code. There were some crazy protesters there that

00:02:38.740 my friend Kat Kanda ended up filming, I will make a video on that and our previous event at some point,

00:02:44.500 because it's fun to talk about. Check out 1BC if you live in British Columbia, by the way.

00:02:49.300 But now, let's get to the man of the hour, and that is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney,

00:02:54.260 running away from what was his kind of good statement on Iran previously. Maybe let's not

00:02:59.380 even get into the statement yet, but we will be getting into it in just a second. I first want to

00:03:03.840 start off with what he had originally posted, because this statement was perfectly fine. I

00:03:10.520 actually gave him some kudos for this, that he didn't do what he had previously done when Donald

00:03:15.440 Trump had begged the dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. He had made some ridiculous statement about 0.54

00:03:21.440 international law and all that stuff. It's like, oh my goodness, who cares? Maduro doesn't recognize 0.92

00:03:26.240 international law. International law doesn't even exist, by the way. It's just a suggestion based on some

00:03:32.020 corrupt international body like the United Nations. It doesn't have any force or effect.

00:03:36.980 But in the Iran statement, he actually just flat out said, this is good because the Ayatollah 0.80

00:03:41.900 and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, 0.96

00:03:46.800 the Islamic government in Iran sucks, and so I'm happy to see it. It was a fine statement. 1.00

00:03:50.960 Right here, he said,

00:03:52.180 The Canadian government is closely following the Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East

00:03:57.060 and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow 1.00

00:04:02.240 local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear. The Islamic Republic 0.77

00:04:08.140 of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East and has one of the 1.00

00:04:12.480 worst human rights records and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada

00:04:17.860 and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program,

00:04:24.100 including at the 2025 G7 Leaders Summit in Kananaskis, and with the United Nations re-imposition of

00:04:32.380 sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program,

00:04:38.520 halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terror proxies, groups.

00:04:43.880 Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against the Iranian,

00:04:48.060 Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity,

00:04:53.080 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You get the whole point. They're sanctioning individuals,

00:04:56.900 they're doing all this stuff like listing the IRGC as a terrorist group, which literally took them

00:05:01.760 years to do. It's embarrassing how long it took them to finally list an obvious terror organization

00:05:07.840 as a terrorist organization. So that was a fine statement, but a bunch of radical crazy people gave 0.97

00:05:14.780 Mark Carney pushback, and he couldn't handle the pushback, and that is why we now have this answer

00:05:20.380 to a question from Mark Carney at a press conference.

00:05:24.200 The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies,

00:05:30.380 including Canada.

00:05:32.560 Who cares? Like, genuinely, who cares? What's Canada going to do? This is like going back to his terrible

00:05:38.380 Maduro statement. Oh, we need more multilateral discussion. Why? What's Canada going to do?

00:05:44.620 I'm Canadian. I'm a patriotic Canadian. I also know that we basically have nothing to do with

00:05:49.460 the situation. We should support them for moral reasons, but what was Canada going to contribute

00:05:54.680 to the situation? What, we're going to tell them how to not do anything? I'm pretty sure that the

00:05:59.820 United States knows that not doing anything doesn't get anything done, because that seems to be

00:06:03.500 Carney's signature move on foreign policy so far. But I'll let him continue.

00:06:07.840 No, it doesn't. It's quite literally non-binding. Binding would imply that somehow someone could

00:06:26.860 enforce it against you. You made a violation, well, the law is going to be enforced against you.

00:06:31.520 It's non-binding. It's all a bunch of random garbage. The UN is not going to send a force in 0.99

00:06:37.540 there to say, hey, United States, you better stop. The UN basically is completely worthless. All they

00:06:42.240 do is basically act as a mouthpiece for dictators and communists and Islamists.

00:06:47.380 We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the

00:06:53.460 Middle East. And we implore all parties, including the United States and Israel, to respect the rules

00:06:59.080 of international engagement. Canada calls for a rapid de-escalation of hostilities and is prepared

00:07:05.480 to assist in achieving this goal.

00:07:06.980 Oh, we're going to assist. How are we going to assist? Mark, what are we going to do?

00:07:13.280 Show up with our troops who can't even march in formation? My goodness. It's so dumb. This is what,

00:07:21.340 if, this is how to sound like an idiot on foreign policy. They should de-escalate. Perfect impression. 1.00

00:07:28.240 That's what everyone who doesn't know what they're talking about in foreign policy always says.

00:07:31.120 Oh, we need de-escalation right now. Oh, we need to, the US and Israel need to respect international

00:07:38.060 law. Iran just killed 30,000 of their own people. Apparently, Mark Carney would be the guy that when

00:07:44.580 Vietnam went into Cambodia to stop the Khmer Rouge from killing everyone, they would have been saying,

00:07:49.620 hey, you guys didn't clear this through the UN first. You guys should have cleared it through the

00:07:54.000 UN who literally has allies of Pol Pot on it. Oh, you can't go into Iran. You haven't gotten sign

00:08:00.940 off from the United Nations who has China and Russia on the Security Council who can veto anything you

00:08:06.000 want to do. It's almost like we should just ignore them. We should fully defund the UN. They're

00:08:10.580 completely worthless. But this is a pathetic statement to please, to please idiots quite literally 1.00

00:08:17.720 like Laura Babcock and Dean Blindell. See, here's Laura Babcock reacting to this statement. 1.00

00:08:24.480 She says, glad Prime Minister Carney updated his view. So she's directly saying that she was not

00:08:32.640 pleased with him before, but now she's okay with it. Pathetic. Pathetic that you want your own 1.00

00:08:38.280 government to basically cry and rend their garments on behalf of a theocratic dictatorship. 0.98

00:08:45.180 Here we have Dean Blindell, who's actually still mad at Mark Carney, and he says, too little,

00:08:51.000 too late. I like Mark, but he booted this with his supportive announcement. Wow. No good deed goes

00:08:57.640 unpunished on the left side of Canadian politics. Now I want to show you guys the polling because

00:09:01.780 this is wild. Tom Parkin posted this. It was from Angus Reid, the polling results. And he says,

00:09:09.380 only 17% who voted liberal a year ago join Carney in supporting Trump's Iran war. But 64% of Polyef 0.75

00:09:17.320 supporters agree with Carney. And that's the funny thing. There's some conservatives who are probably

00:09:22.040 just going to naysay whatever Carney does, but that happens with all parties. If you're the opposition

00:09:26.280 party, your supporters might just basically say they always dislike anything the government does.

00:09:31.720 There also are people out there who are very much passive on foreign policy, and they think we

00:09:36.340 should never get involved or speak out on anything. But here was the question. As you may have seen or

00:09:41.860 heard, the United States and Israel have recently carried out strikes against Iran. Do you support

00:09:46.140 or oppose these airstrikes? So it doesn't say that you support Carney supporting it, but basically,

00:09:51.240 do you support the same thing that Carney said he supported? All Canadians, 34% support. 49% oppose.

00:09:58.200 17% are not sure. With conservatives, 64% support. 24% oppose. 11% are unsure. Liberals, 17% are

00:10:06.900 supportive. And this is strongly or somewhat supportive. 69% are strongly or somewhat opposed,

00:10:14.720 and 14% don't know. My goodness, this is the party that Mark Carney has built himself. And I like

00:10:22.040 the comment from my friend Brian Breguet right here. He says, Carney doing a great job converting

00:10:28.320 conservatives. I guess his overall calculation is that he can lose some voters to the NDP and make

00:10:33.360 up for them with more conservatives. And, but the problem is there that I don't think any conservative

00:10:38.840 is actually going to be moving over for this. They're just, conservatives are just supporting what

00:10:43.860 Trump's doing because it's the right thing to do. No one's going to see Carney making that statement

00:10:47.380 and say, Oh, he's a good guy now, especially not in the aftermath, which of course, Brian didn't know

00:10:52.220 at the time that Mark Carney was going to walk it back the very next day. Like what, who does he

00:10:58.560 think he's pleasing? His original statement probably already ticked off enough people that they moved

00:11:02.860 over to the NDP and they're not going to forgive him for it. People like Dean Blundell. Now,

00:11:06.620 Laura Babcock's a ride or die and will always justify anything Carney does. I remember she never even 1.00

00:11:11.040 exactly criticized his original statement. You could tell that she probably didn't like it,

00:11:15.480 but she's also too pathetic to criticize it. But what Carney is also attempting to do here 0.90

00:11:21.400 is he's trying to make his coalition make sense and to make it set, make it make sense. He is quite

00:11:29.060 literally having to say one thing and then say the other thing at the same time. He both has to

00:11:33.440 support the Iran strikes because, well, the Persian community, the Jewish community, and pretty much

00:11:39.700 any Canadian with sense on foreign policy supports it. But the liberal party has a strong mixture,

00:11:45.480 mixture of people who are so deranged, who have such strong Trump derangement syndrome, 0.84

00:11:50.360 who are so anti-American, who are just, will nay say anything America does, that he also has to come 0.98

00:11:56.340 out and criticize Israel and America for attacking an Islamic theocracy, killing its own people. 0.66

00:12:03.400 That is where we are at. Because Carney right now, as I've made a previous video on,

00:12:07.900 is trying to run a Ontario NDP MPP, a member of provincial parliament, as his candidate to replace

00:12:16.260 Bill Blair in Scarborough. He is replacing Bill Blair with Dolly Begum, who has never issued a statement

00:12:24.220 condemning a terrorist group, but as I showed in that video, has put out several statements condemning the

00:12:30.160 United States or Israel's activities in the Middle East. Never done a clear condemnation of a terror 0.94

00:12:36.220 group, but has attacked Western powers. But now Carney basically has to figure out how to have his cake

00:12:43.660 and eat it too in every situation that happens on foreign policy. And he's basically been doing that

00:12:48.860 on the America trade deal that he's not actually been trying to get for the past year. What he does

00:12:55.000 is he promises he'll get the trade deal done, but then he'll keep making excuses why it's impossible

00:12:59.020 to get it. And he's hoping that both members of his coalition, the anti-American people who don't

00:13:04.540 want a deal, and the business liberals who do want a deal, he's hoping that neither of them notice that

00:13:09.880 he's basically playing both of them at the same time. Although he is always mainly siding with the

00:13:14.660 anti-American people, because he'll tick them off if he signs a deal. So he has to always be

00:13:19.840 pretending he's trying to get a deal signed while never actually doing it. So the biggest losers in all 0.98

00:13:24.280 of this are the business liberals who are never going to be given what they want, whereas the

00:13:28.400 anti-American liberals are always basically being given what they want, while always hesitant that

00:13:33.100 they make sure to never let Carney actually get the deal signed. Anyways, that should be it for this
