The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - CBC attacks Chrystia Freeland to defend Carney and Trudeau!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. As a conservative commentator, this federal liberal leadership

00:00:07.040 race has been so weird to follow, because day to day, I am sometimes having to defend

00:00:13.060 people I would normally only say bad things about. Today, I'm going to have to defend

00:00:18.940 former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, because as weird

00:00:24.660 as it is to say, she is in fact an outsider candidate in this liberal leadership race.

00:00:30.660 Is she on paper an insider? 100% she is. She's been an insider for a decade. At the same time,

00:00:38.580 Mark Carney is clearly the pick of both Team Trudeau, as well as the liberal establishment

00:00:44.840 of the media. This is why I'm going to show you this absolutely insane clip where Rosemary

00:00:51.020 Barton from the CBC attacks Chrystia Freeland because they are going all out trying to paint 0.99

00:00:57.380 her as the insider and Mark Carney as the outsider, even though his campaign chair is Gerald Butts.

00:01:03.140 He has Katie Telford on his campaign assisting. Justin Trudeau is clearly behind him. Justin

00:01:08.200 Trudeau's entire wedding party is either on the campaign or endorsing the man, and he

00:01:13.320 has most of the ministers endorsing him. It's wild to watch. But look at this. This demonstrates

00:01:19.980 just how in the bag the CBC is right now for Mark Carney, because Rosemary Barton is saying

00:01:27.600 things in an interview that are just frankly inappropriate if you're trying to be a neutral

00:01:32.000 interviewer. Before I get into it, guys, just a reminder to like this video, subscribe to

00:01:36.860 the channel if you're not yet a subscriber. About 70% of people who watch any of my videos

00:01:41.220 are not yet subscribers, so make sure you go hit that subscribe button, and then leave

00:01:45.200 a comment if you have any thoughts. I always like to scroll through and see what people

00:01:48.820 have said. Anyways, check this out right here. You told my colleague Catherine Cullen that you're

00:01:54.180 running against the Ottawa establishment, the establishment that you have been a key part of

00:01:58.800 for a decade. Why on earth would anyone believe the claim that you are against the establishment,

00:02:04.000 that you are not part of the establishment? That's not a real question. That is what we call

00:02:08.920 poisoning the well. And again, is Christy Freeland part of the establishment? Obviously she is. 1.00

00:02:14.700 Compared to Mark Carney, is she the establishment favorite? Not at all. It's obviously Mark Carney

00:02:21.880 when it comes to Gerald Butts and Katie Telford and everyone else who is a big power broker inside

00:02:27.780 the party. Freeland has some people on her side, but she is swimming against the tide. But that

00:02:33.520 question right there where Rosemary Barton said, why on earth would anyone consider you an outsider

00:02:39.020 or not an insider? It's like, what the heck? You're basically saying this is a completely ridiculous 0.81

00:02:44.100 thing you're trying to put forward, Christia. You're wrong, but here you have a chance to talk 0.93

00:02:49.460 anyways, and I'm probably going to cut you off. Look, I think that people can see very clearly

00:02:55.940 the dynamics of the race. But the reason that I'm asking people... That's not what my question was.

00:03:02.060 Okay, guys, I'm being very serious with you. I actually don't watch these clips ahead of time

00:03:09.340 outside of the first like 15, 16 seconds, because I want to be able to react to it fresh.

00:03:15.280 Truly, she couldn't even let Freeland get away with giving like half an answer. She immediately

00:03:21.420 jumps in and says, hey, wait, wait, wait, Christia, I'm trying to attack you right now. Why are you not

00:03:26.000 accepting me attacking you? It's like Rosemary Barton is still only used to interviewing people 1.00

00:03:31.260 like Erin O'Toole, who just lie down and wait for the interviewer to kill them. Because like, 0.59

00:03:36.920 she looks so bad here. Honestly, this is making Christia Freeland look good. Does Christia Freeland 0.98

00:03:42.220 deserve to look good? No. Half the time, she looks like a bit of a bush baby in this interview, 1.00

00:03:47.180 looking like a deer in the headlights. But Rosemary is making it so obvious that Carney is like

00:03:53.080 a artificial propped up guy to be Justin Trudeau's fourth term in office.

00:03:58.640 She said, why would people believe that you are not part of the establishment,

00:04:03.820 given the proximity you had to the prime minister for a decade? Are you actually just saying that

00:04:08.620 because that is the only possible way for you to win at this stage?

00:04:11.960 Again, that's not a question. That's an attack. This is saying you're a loser who's going to lose.

00:04:16.220 And are you just saying this because you're losing so bad? Maybe it's your only path to victory. 0.99

00:04:21.180 What?

00:04:21.360 Rosie, not at all. And I think it's important for people to remember that I resigned. I'm the minister

00:04:29.920 who had the courage to do that. I'm the minister who saw that we needed to be relentlessly focused

00:04:37.600 on the threat that Donald Trump posed.

00:04:39.820 Would you not have had a better...

00:04:40.960 Rosie, I'm not just saying that today. I said that on December 16th, before these measures were in place.

00:04:49.040 Would you not, Chrystia Freeland, have had a better opportunity to help the country

00:04:53.860 had you stayed at the cabinet table in whatever capacity the prime minister wanted you to?

00:04:58.200 It's serious. Rosemary Barton, like Justin Trudeau's enforcer here, like grilling her,

00:05:03.860 you should have stayed at the company's side.

00:05:05.880 Why would you betray Justin Trudeau like that? My fantasy boyfriend. Why would you ever do that

00:05:12.900 to Mr. Trudeau? Chrystia, why are you such an insider at the same time when you've proven me wrong?

00:05:19.260 Well, you were wrong for doing it. Shouldn't you have stayed in the insider circle?

00:05:23.080 And again, the absurdity of everything going on here is that Chrystia Freeland for years helped

00:05:27.840 feed the bodies of people under the bus like Bill Morneau and other people who were doing the right

00:05:33.160 thing in Trudeau's government. You know, Jane Philpott, Jody Wilson-Raybould, tons of other

00:05:39.340 liberals have been thrown out of the party. Ram Nishanga. Lots of people were thrown out for

00:05:44.280 calling out issues within the party, corruption, or doing their jobs properly, but Justin Trudeau

00:05:50.160 needed to use their back as a knife block. She was totally fine with it. And that's why this is so weird,

00:05:56.460 because she actually is the outsider at this point, and the CBC is not having it, because how dare you

00:06:02.140 get in the way of Justin Trudeau's fourth term using Mark Carney as a meat puppet?

00:06:06.920 You would have been able to take on Donald Trump right now.

00:06:10.460 No. Canada is strong. Canada is going to astonish the world with our strength, and I am very proud

00:06:19.120 every single day to be out there talking to Canadians, rallying Canadians, and speaking out for Canada.

00:06:27.460 You could see how, like, angry Rosemary Barton looked in, like, the corners of her mouth. It's like, 1.00

00:06:34.020 yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, Christy, shut the hell up. Get off my show. Either could drop out of the 0.99

00:06:40.820 race and endorse Carney, or you're not allowed on my show again. Again, this is why nobody likes the CBC.

00:06:47.020 Is technically this just a basic interview on paper? Sure. But the questions are done horribly.

00:06:55.940 They always imply that you're wrong, and you're going to say some stuff, but you're already wrong,

00:07:00.800 because I've told the audience you're wrong. Why on earth, Christy, or would anyone believe that

00:07:06.080 you're not part of the establishment? Well, because if you have eyes and ears, you can look

00:07:13.500 at the dynamic of the race and see that Carney has all of the Team Trudeau support, and everyone else

00:07:20.180 is either a candidate who's only running for the leadership to throw Carney second-place votes,

00:07:25.600 or they are heavily on the outs with the party, like Freeland is. By the way, she is right. She

00:07:32.640 actually did trigger the ouster of Justin Trudeau as prime minister, so she should get some credit for

00:07:37.980 that. But again, Rosemary is deeply, deeply invested in making it that Carney's the outsider.

00:07:45.300 So he's never even been an MP before, but he's been Trudeau's economic advisor for years. In fact,

00:07:51.380 a few times where there was big policy screw-ups in the last few years, it wasn't Freeland's fault

00:07:57.320 exactly as finance minister. It's her fault for being around when the problems are happening and not

00:08:02.700 calling out until the very last minute. But it was Carney that was basically the one making the

00:08:07.960 playbook that the liberals ran on and that Trudeau told Freeland to implement. That's why she ended

00:08:13.800 up leaving when she got tired with Trudeau basically doing a bait-and-switch every time she was carrying

00:08:20.200 out what he wanted. He would change his mind, and then she'd look like an idiot pivoting and then 0.99

00:08:24.660 causing a massive deficit because Trudeau cannot keep what he wants straight. Is Freeland a good 1.00

00:08:30.100 politician? No. I hope she loses her re-election. She doesn't deserve to be in government. 1.00

00:08:35.220 At the same time, if I was having to choose between Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland as

00:08:40.520 liberal leader, I would take Chrystia Freeland because at least it's honest. At least it's some 1.00

00:08:46.760 random lady running because she wants to run and she doesn't like Justin Trudeau. Mark Carney's not

00:08:52.200 even running. He's running so that Justin Trudeau doesn't have to run because Justin Trudeau doesn't

00:08:57.880 want to lose the next election, so he wants Mark Carney to be his stand-in so that maybe Justin gets to

00:09:03.700 have a comeback in eight years or something like that. Mark my words, Trudeau is going to attempt

00:09:08.760 to come back because he's got, you know, what else is he gonna do? Go back to teaching people how to

00:09:13.540 surf? Is he gonna be another, he's gonna go back to being a drama teacher? The man's got nothing. I know

00:09:18.760 he's independently wealthy, but people get bored, and the thing that Trudeau and also Jagmeet Singh

00:09:24.060 love more than wealth or anything like that, or power, they love attention. They love being in the middle

00:09:30.520 of the spotlight. That is the main reason, in my mind, why Jagmeet Singh does not want a federal

00:09:36.760 election early, and he is going to bring up every excuse to push it back till October.

00:09:42.760 Unfortunately, Doug Ford, the fake conservative in Ontario, gave him the perfect reason not to call

00:09:47.660 an election right away and to keep the liberals in power for a few months longer, and because there's

00:09:53.380 an early Ontario election, so Jagmeet can easily just say, there's a lot of voter fatigue in Ontario

00:09:59.040 right now, and all our staff members were just exhausted from helping Merritt Stiles, so you're

00:10:05.060 gonna have to give us a few more months, and also we need to pass some stuff in case we have another

00:10:10.000 trade threat by Trump. That's what Jagmeet Singh's gonna do, mark my words, but Jagmeet, he kind of cares

00:10:16.200 about the pension. He kind of cares about other stuff related to how well the NDP is going to do in the next

00:10:22.100 election and needing more money, but the main thing is that he needs to do well enough in this election

00:10:26.980 to maybe justify still being leader, or justify making a pivot and going somewhere else in his political

00:10:32.940 career, because Jagmeet loves being on television. He loves being on podcasts. He loves streaming video games

00:10:40.140 with AOC and Ilhan Omar, and that guy who said America deserves 9-11, Hassan Piker. He loves being, like,

00:10:48.040 he's like a colorful parrot who goes around collecting shiny objects, and Justin Trudeau is

00:10:53.260 the same way. Both don't love being on a magazine cover more than anything. They would give up every

00:10:58.360 single principle and their left foot to be on People magazine, because they are just very shallow

00:11:03.980 individuals, and now Mark Carney is the guy who is Trudeau's blood bag to get him through this period

00:11:09.840 where he's not prime minister. Boring enough that he's not going to outshine Trudeau, he's still going to lose,

00:11:15.960 but it allows Trudeau not to be the one who personally took the loss, so that in eight years he can come

00:11:21.360 back and say, see, don't you guys all miss me? And by the way, we will not miss him by that point. He

00:11:26.220 will flop on his face. He is not like his father. His father actually had skill. He does not, and I think

00:11:32.380 that's where we're really left. There is a chance Freeland could beat Carney, even in the polling that shows

00:11:37.860 Carney ahead. Some of it shows him way ahead with liberal supporters. I don't quite believe that, just because

00:11:43.480 his name recognition in Canada is still fairly low, and Freeland has much higher name recognition

00:11:49.080 among liberal voters, but a new poll came out, so I don't really believe the mid-50s ones where he's

00:11:54.660 at like 53%, 55%, but another poll from Angus Reid seemed more realistic, where depending on the

00:12:00.240 province, he's at 33 or 35, and Freeland's at 15 or 18. He can be caught there, especially if there's a

00:12:07.020 debate, and he is ducking a debate right now, and it's probably because somebody like Ruby Dalla

00:12:13.640 running for the liberal leadership is going to smoke him. Is Ruby going to win? Probably not,

00:12:19.580 but Ruby has showed that she is not just willing to throw punches, that she probably has like weights 1.00

00:12:25.300 in her boxing gloves, that she is going to go and roast him as Trudeau 2.0 and slam him for basically 1.00

00:12:31.660 just being like the exact carbon copy of Trudeau's policy without any of the charisma. Ruby has been

00:12:37.760 ruthless, and then Freeland on stage can also go after him for being the insider favorite. He does

00:12:43.540 not want any attention. That's the problem. There are so many liberals online who want to talk about

00:12:48.700 how Mark Carney's brat, and isn't he so interesting, and he's giving so much energy to the party. At the

00:12:54.960 same time, do not let him go on any shows that are not scripted. Do not let him talk to any

00:12:59.660 independent media. Do not put him on a debate stage. By the way, Mark, you're not allowed to

00:13:04.300 leave your house. That is his campaign. He was running the Joe Biden basement campaign from the

00:13:09.400 2020 presidential election in the U.S., and I'm not sure if that's going to win you an election

00:13:15.100 when you would be against pure Polyev as a federal leader, and he's actually interesting. He's actually

00:13:21.560 good long form in discussions. He's good at debating. He's good in hostile media situations,

00:13:26.960 and people, when you look at his approval rating, generally like him, and the Conservative Party's

00:13:31.660 at like 43%. No, Mark Carney's not going to be able to win. Right now, all the pollsters showing

00:13:37.120 the liberals going up, except Ecos, because they're showing like the liberals like surging

00:13:40.640 in an insane way, which is unrealistic to how public opinion works, and there's nothing in the

00:13:45.520 news cycle that would suggest anyone anywhere close to like 30% of Canadians are cool with the

00:13:50.920 liberals, and he has them at like 35. It's crazy, but all the other ones, all the other pollsters that

00:13:56.160 have the liberals realistically bumping up to like 27%, 26%. I'm not even sure if that's real

00:14:03.980 support surging. That might just be a mirage. Like, liberal supporters who were depressed are

00:14:08.960 more likely to say they're voting now, but then in time, they're just going to fall back to 24,

00:14:13.500 23, and they're going to be back in mediocre pre-Trudeau coup numbers. Anyways, so that's it for me today,

00:14:21.480 guys. Remember to like the show, leave a comment, subscribe, do all that great stuff. I might have

00:14:27.000 another video out today. I actually have a fundraiser I'm going to with Pierre Polyev, so maybe I'll post a

00:14:32.660 photo of that later or whatever and tell you what I said to him or whatever. I always like to give

00:14:37.300 politicians advice on marketing and whatnot. In fact, Pierre Polyev has taken our advice from the National

00:14:44.300 Telegraph before. I did an interview with him talking about central bank digital currencies. It

00:14:49.440 was like a very short 30-second interview, and I wrote an article about it where he had given me a

00:14:54.420 general answer that, yeah, I'm against CBDCs. I'm not sure how I would ban them, but in general, I don't

00:14:59.540 want the Bank of Canada addressing it. I rolled out that article. He had been doing nothing on CBDCs

00:15:04.600 before that. My article on Facebook back when you could actually post on Facebook got 12,000 likes. This

00:15:10.780 was during the leadership race. 12 days after that article, his campaign then rolls out all these

00:15:16.000 graphics about how much he's against CBDCs, and it starts being worked into a stump speech where he

00:15:21.540 would be like, and by the way, we're going to ban CBDCs, and we always get a big crowd reaction. I could

00:15:27.040 tell in my original interview, you could tell he was a bit more awkward, like he didn't know if anyone

00:15:31.040 really cared that much about CBDCs. Not that he wasn't against them, but, you know, sometimes talking

00:15:36.720 about something that nobody has a clue about makes you seem like really out of touch,

00:15:40.280 and so I thought, I think he didn't assume that it was going to be a big deal. Article came out,

00:15:44.720 and then the campaign then rolls out all the CBDC stuff. That's not a coincidence. That's called

00:15:50.220 having an actual effect. Anyways, that's truly it for me here. See you guys later.
