00:00:00.000 So, this is insane. Yesterday, the government of China released a statement announcing that China
00:00:07.460 and Canada will be engaging in military coordination with one another. Can't you
00:00:13.480 smell the American trade deal right around the corner now? Yeah, I can't either. The Americans
00:00:20.180 already had a problem with how much we were trading with China and with the EV dumping deal
00:00:25.620 that we had signed with the CCP. Now how do you think they're going to react to us militarily
00:00:31.780 coordinating with them? And now I wasn't actually originally planning on making a video on the
00:00:36.940 subject, but then I saw a reaction to the story that was so stupid it immediately compelled me 0.99
00:00:42.740 to turn on a camera. But before we get to that, I want to first show you this interview clip from 0.92
00:00:48.080 Fox News where the former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was on and talking about
00:00:53.600 the problem with Canada's integration with China. Let's talk first about Canada. Do we want to,
00:01:00.020 does President Trump want to break Canada in order to own Canada? No, he wants to consist
00:01:05.860 that Canada cannot be a transshipment for China. That was the ultimate deal breaker,
00:01:12.340 is that the current prime minister wants to align Canada with China and would basically allow the
00:01:17.980 Chinese to send goods to Canada to then be shipped into the US. And that was the last big part of the
00:01:24.280 package. And the Canadians, President, Prime Minister said, he'd rather have a trade war
00:01:29.980 than give up their ability to deal directly with China. Now, some people are trying to call
00:01:35.740 hypocrisy on the Americans because, well, they still trade with China. Well, their military
00:01:40.740 talks with china it's so different america has its military high command speak with the chinese
00:01:49.460 people's liberation army high command in order to avoid military miscalculations because you may
00:01:56.580 realize that america is heavily invested in the defense of the republic of china also known as 0.97
00:02:02.820 taiwan they kind of have to talk because the chinese like to be provocative and they want 0.96
00:02:09.060 basically assurances that the Americans aren't going to sink their fleet by getting too close 1.00
00:02:13.820 to Taiwan. That is something that has to happen in order to avoid a massive hot war that maybe
00:02:20.020 both sides do not actually want to happen. Canada doesn't have a reason to be militarily
00:02:25.500 coordinating with China. Remember last time this happened, it was a big scandal because
00:02:29.940 Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were still in Chinese prison at the same time Trudeau was
00:02:35.980 having the Canadian military train Chinese troops in winter combat. Yeah, that's not really,
00:02:43.060 really sketchy. And Newt Gingrich is frankly kind of right about the trade issue. Now, I don't like
00:02:48.960 American tariffs on Canada's economy. I just don't like tariffs in general, unless they're for
00:02:53.860 national security reasons. And the China issue is actually one where Trump probably has his best 0.95
00:02:59.720 argument again i don't want tariffs on our economy but yeah it's kind of sketchy that at the same 0.57
00:03:05.780 time america wants to trade less with china and start sapping their economic power so they can't
00:03:10.920 be so aggressive on the foreign stage that canada saying no no absolutely come on in anything you
00:03:17.520 don't send to america send to us but also americans let us terror let us have tariff-free trade so we 0.52
00:03:22.620 can send those chinese goods into your economy because that is what will naturally happen if 0.86
00:03:27.960 Canada basically tries to absorb a lot of the trade that America is trying to push back out of
00:03:34.080 America from China. It's just logical at this point. But again, Carney and the liberals don't
00:03:39.940 seem to actually want to get a deal with the Americans. That's why they keep doing things
00:03:44.380 like this. And we're integrating more with China, the country that Carney in April 2025 said was
00:03:50.040 our biggest national security threat. Of course, he then went on in January 2026 to want to
00:03:55.980 integrate with them culturally and on security matters, and I guess this is the culmination of
00:04:00.620 the security side of it in September 2026 now, where we're now going to militarily coordinate.
00:04:06.540 And this links in with this extremely dumb take I saw online about it, because of course this is a 0.53
00:04:13.440 really bad look. And just to give you a little bit of some context so you can see what the actual
00:04:18.780 statement looked like itself, TableSalt ended up posting it from the Chinese Military of National
00:04:25.040 Defense. He says here, Chinese Ministry of National Defense has stated that, quote, defense
00:04:30.760 coordination, unquote, talks were held in Canada on September 4th. At an undisclosed location,
00:04:36.860 the two sides had expressed willingness to strengthen cooperation between the two militaries.
00:04:42.140 It's happening. And here you can see it's from the Ministry of National Defense of People's
00:04:46.440 Republic of China's website. Now, again, the Americans do talk to the Chinese military.
00:04:53.760 but at the same time let's put it this way america pays the hypocrisy tax on this one 0.74
00:04:59.720 they pay the annual don't let china take over the world bill through the eight percent of their
00:05:06.300 of their government budget spent on the military i think it's eight percent of their gdp they are 0.74
00:05:12.280 willing to get into a hot war with china in order to defend the republic of china taiwan they will
00:05:19.740 get into a hot war with China if China tries to attack Japan or the Philippines or other countries
00:05:25.640 in Asia. They actually are paying for everyone's national defense, not just in the northern
00:05:32.140 hemisphere in North America, but all around the world. And I'm not saying then, okay, America gets
00:05:38.320 every excuse in the book because they also, you know, they pay for security around the world and
00:05:43.440 we all owe them one for that. We do kind of owe them one. Yes, they're a bigger, more powerful
00:05:48.480 country, so naturally that's kind of the space they end up filling in the world order. At the
00:05:54.940 same time, we can't also just completely ignore the way that Mark Carney does, and he wants to
00:06:02.160 talk about the War of 1812 and how he burnt down the White House in 1814. Okay, okay, that's all
00:06:07.480 fine and good. Yes, yes, again, I don't like tariffs. Same time, Mark Carney's not trying
00:06:12.020 to get a good deal. In fact, he keeps doing garbage like this that gets us even further away. 0.97
00:06:17.180 Rip up the China deal. 0.99
00:06:18.500 Get rid of Bill C-11.
00:06:19.680 Get rid of Bill C-18.
00:06:21.580 Weaken the supply management system if it gets us a better deal with America. 0.97
00:06:26.000 We shouldn't want to be trading more with China. 0.90
00:06:28.180 They are a hostile threat on the world stage. 0.97
00:06:31.660 But now I want to bring you guys over to this absolutely hot garbage take I saw from Jason 0.95
00:06:39.440 Kenney and Spencer Fernando.
00:06:42.340 So here's just a screenshot of it.
00:06:44.340 And then I just want to go up to what I specifically said about it.
00:06:47.780 So Spencer Fernando here over a headline that says, China, U.S. military commander, snap, two-year break with talks in Canada.
00:06:55.600 So the talks took place in Victoria, British Columbia, and so the Canadian military, American military, and Chinese military were present.
00:07:04.360 And Spencer Fernando says, I'm sure the fact that the U.S. also resume military talks with China will receive just as much attention from those trying to hype this up.
00:07:14.340 um it's not it's not because we're hypocrites it's because america is not militarily coordinating
00:07:20.820 they communicate in order to again avoid miscommunication to avoid miscalculation
00:07:27.660 in order so that there isn't a war where american jets are sinking chinese ships so that the troops
00:07:34.920 don't try and start landing on the taiwanese on the island of taiwan and american navy ships and
00:07:40.800 aircraft carriers have to show up to try and stop them. Yeah, they talk in that way. What business
00:07:47.240 does Canada have to do militarily coordinating, which is quite a bit more than just talking?
00:07:52.940 Again, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense never released a statement. Know who else never
00:07:57.840 released a statement about it? Canada, because it's obviously a bad look. We let the Chinese
00:08:03.320 government do it, and we didn't say a mumbling word about it. And then we have Jason Kenney here 0.69
00:08:08.840 reacting to spencer fernando spencer fernando what's really funny about this is he's supposed
00:08:12.920 to be a foreign policy hawk i am i'm very hawkish on foreign policy i went to a bitter bigger
00:08:18.400 military and we were more like america when it comes to the military but now he's like doing
00:08:24.000 pp space he's doing ccp propaganda and saying ah well america does it too so no biggie now jason
00:08:31.740 kenny does say it's a bad thing here he says disappointing to see both canada and the united
00:08:36.500 States re-engaging in formal dialogue with the PRC's People's Liberation Army, an enormous tool
00:08:41.640 of state oppression and a constant threat to the sovereignty of our Asian allies. Hey, Jason, what 0.69
00:08:47.780 country out there pays to protect those Asian allies? Who's protecting Vietnam and Cambodia
00:08:55.300 and Taiwan and the Philippines and Japan and Korea? Who's doing that? Oh, it's America. It turns out 0.85
00:09:04.280 we aren't sending any fishing trawlers over there to stop the prc from landing troops on taiwan
00:09:09.620 so this whole kind of like well it's kind of a it's kind of a two-headed problem between canada
00:09:15.720 the united states no it isn't no it isn't they're also trying to basically push china back on the
00:09:22.480 economic world stage at the same time we want to trade more with them and coordinate militarily 0.59
00:09:28.260 which i guess we're going to start training the troops in winter combat again we just had a 0.89
00:09:34.220 chinese canadian intern get caught in nato spying for the ccp that just happened remember the lab
00:09:44.260 leak of data that happened in winnipeg where basically chinese ccp agents stole a bunch of
00:09:51.480 virology data from a lab in winnipeg not a problem maybe we should care a little bit more about this 0.55
00:09:57.920 the country that had chinese police stations all over it harassing chinese nationals who live in 0.95
00:10:04.160 canada to escape the ccp maybe we should care about that maybe we should care about that kenny 0.96
00:10:10.000 maybe this isn't a whataboutism situation that you can just do throw this up in the air and say 0.99
00:10:14.520 ah who cares it's both no it isn't both because we don't pay for the world security we do not put
00:10:19.700 the hypocrisy coins into the machine to pay the hypocrisy tax i don't care what america is saying
00:10:25.980 to China. They're paying for the defense of Taiwan. We don't. So maybe we should be a little
00:10:32.400 bit more meek on this particular issue and we should maybe take it a little more seriously
00:10:37.480 when America does say it's a big sticking point for them that we shouldn't be trading more and
00:10:42.680 integrating more with China when we're trying to get a good trade deal. In fact, that's probably 1.00
00:10:47.600 why we weren't going to get very good rates on steel and aluminum because we insist on keeping
00:10:53.100 the Chinese EV dumping mandate and so of course they're going to put they're going to put taxes
00:10:58.340 on autos coming from Canada to America. Of course they're going to leave in they're going to leave 0.96
00:11:05.200 in tariffs on steel and aluminum because those are products that could come from China to slip
00:11:11.140 into the United States. It's kind of just sensible. Again I'm not saying I like tariffs. I don't like
00:11:17.800 tariffs. I'm saying that they have a logical reason for having a problem with this one.
00:11:23.100 Other stuff Trump says and other stuff other Trump officials say, I will say that I disagree with it. It's illogical. I hate when they say we have the best deal, that we were offered the best deal on the planet. Of course, we have the best deal from the perspective that a lot of our goods are allowed to go over the border still tariff-free and other ones are subject to tariffs and other countries have blanket tariffs on all their goods.
00:11:44.320 it's still not the best deal simply because we trade with them so much relatively speaking
00:11:49.580 when you trade 1% or 2% in terms of your exports with America you can handle a 10% across the
00:11:56.260 board or even 15% across the board tariff better than Canada can on part of its goods being tariffed
00:12:01.900 heavily and we trade 78% with the United States but I'm just trying to make it clear I absolutely
00:12:08.480 judge the situation fairly on this china issue we lose a lot of our moral uh argument that america
00:12:16.720 can't push us around when it comes to who we can trade with and who we talk to 0.96
00:12:21.600 if the khmer rouge were still around would we be trading with them would we be trading with
00:12:27.320 north korea right now the islamic regime in iran equatorial guinea you know if leopold's
00:12:34.360 congo was still around would we be traded trading with them probably not it's almost like we
00:12:40.920 understand the concept between good country bad country would canada be arguing we want to trade
00:12:46.040 with russia and fund their military why can't we do that obviously every single one of these
00:12:51.260 excuse makers for the carny liberals would say well obviously that's too far what's so different
00:12:56.520 with china they fund iran they fund russia they are currently trying to interfere in our elections
00:13:02.840 and yet we can militarily coordinate with them and we can trade more with them and america can't say 0.89
00:13:08.760 boo about it even though they pay the stopping china from taking over the the world tax stopping
00:13:14.920 xi jinping from being the president of all of asia tax they do that by the way we don't and yet we're 0.94
00:13:22.680 sitting around like thumbing our nose at the u.s and saying you can't tell us who we can be friends
00:13:26.520 with that's kind of the point of a negotiation telling one side what you think they should be
00:13:32.000 doing and what you want from them in return like you know you want something from them and they
00:13:36.940 might want something from you in return that's negotiations you are trying to get the other side
00:13:41.380 to do something they otherwise may not have done unless you demanded it and maybe offer them
00:13:46.200 something in exchange or threaten something if they don't but what do i do i'm not mark carney
00:13:52.180 i'm not the genius mark carney who believes that canada's sovereignty is going to be secured with
00:13:58.120 communist China. Whatever. Okay. Like, share, and subscribe, guys. I'll see you all later.
