The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Delusional Liberals cannot understand how Trump won

00:00:00.280 Welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool Show, everyone. Today, we're going to mix things up a little bit, and I'm going to be talking about the U.S. presidential election that just happened yesterday.

00:00:11.540 Still some votes to count in certain states, but Donald Trump has decisively won in the Electoral College and is likely to win the popular vote as well.

00:00:20.220 But I'm not going to be talking about the U.S. election from the perspective of America. I want to talk about it from the perspective of Canada, and specifically all of the liberal NDP media commentators and politicians who cluelessly thought that Kamala Harris had this in the bag.

00:00:40.040 I tweeted this just now, and I had said similar things last night, and I think it sums things up pretty well from at least the media standpoint.

00:00:48.220 A lot of Canadian lefty commentators who pride themselves on their nuanced political analysis need to wonder if they were ever good in the first place.

00:00:57.760 So many of these people who think that they are wise sages about how politics really works and what the average voter values completely missed the appeal of Donald Trump and thought that Kamala Harris must be super popular, even more popular than Joe Biden was in 2020.

00:01:14.460 She was going to obviously overperform how Hillary Clinton did in 2016. She's like Barack Obama. She's not. It was so obvious she wasn't. 1.00

00:01:24.180 There were so many public data points to prove that she just wasn't going to win.

00:01:29.200 Usually, presidential elections where the Democrats only have like a 1% to 3% registration advantage nationally over the Republicans, the Republicans tend to win those ones.

00:01:42.180 If it's like plus 8% Democrat registration imbalance, then that's like an election where Obama just has a landslide victory in 2008.

00:01:52.120 In 2024, there is a 3%, a 3-point advantage for Republican registrations compared to Democrat registrations.

00:02:03.000 And there were people who thought that Kamala Harris was going to win Iowa because of an Ann Seltzer poll that showed that somehow Kamala Harris was going to win Iowa, which Trump won by large margins in 2020 and 2016, that Kamala Harris was going to win it by three.

00:02:20.900 She got blown out in Iowa. She lost by 14 points.

00:02:24.800 This is where you have to be able to understand what is a good poll and what is a bad poll.

00:02:31.280 If a poll doesn't even make sense to you at all, like if you walked through Iowa, does it feel plus 3 Kamala Harris, Democrat?

00:02:39.160 It doesn't. You don't even have to go to Iowa to know that that wasn't right.

00:02:43.760 There are so many really ridiculously stupid takes from Canadian media commentators pretending like it's a shocking loss for Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:02:52.840 You guys live in a bubble. You truly think that people vote for the most professorial candidate, the one who has that very moderate aesthetic. 1.00

00:03:04.200 Kamala Harris is an aesthetically moderate candidate.

00:03:07.520 Even though on policy, Trump is arguably way more moderate than Kamala Harris is.

00:03:12.540 Kamala Harris is actually more on the Bernie Sanders left of the Democratic Party, 0.72

00:03:17.500 she literally was rated as the most liberal senator by a nonpartisan group back when she was still in the Senate prior to 2020.

00:03:26.460 And what? She was going to be, she was going to have a mass appeal in this country?

00:03:32.440 I don't, I don't get it.

00:03:33.860 But again, these people live in such a bubble that they assume that, you know,

00:03:37.660 I like an academia friendly candidate.

00:03:40.000 I like a candidate who talks like a bureaucrat, talks like an academic.

00:03:43.680 That must mean that all, every voter's like that.

00:03:47.060 There are voters who live outside of like Arlington.

00:03:52.580 There are voters who live outside of Concord, New Hampshire.

00:03:56.240 There are voters who live outside of Buffalo, New York and like Albany.

00:04:02.560 You guys have to understand this.

00:04:04.160 And the thing is that these same people in Canada get elections wrong all the time.

00:04:08.920 I know BC was close.

00:04:11.040 I think I was pretty right on BC.

00:04:12.460 I thought the Conservatives were going to win by like a couple of seats or so.

00:04:16.560 But like that one was a close one.

00:04:17.940 And it's more understandable to not get it right when there was a massive money disadvantage for the Conservatives.

00:04:23.720 And it's harder to draw out your vote.

00:04:25.340 But goodness, like usually I'm decently well within the range of realistic possibilities.

00:04:31.580 But even these people in Canada think that like pure poly of isn't popular and that Justin Trudeau might be able to make a comeback.

00:04:39.400 These people are delusional.

00:04:41.180 They don't actually talk to real voters.

00:04:43.520 I find it fascinating.

00:04:45.560 So many people pontificate on politics and and like analyze polling and whatnot and voter behavior who've never door knocked in their life.

00:04:53.540 Who've never taken a phone call with a voter.

00:04:55.900 They don't actually know how voters think.

00:04:57.580 Some of them are actually quite good, but usually they're not in the commentary business like Janet Brown.

00:05:01.860 But let's get into some of these other takes from people in from people in Canadian media.

00:05:07.040 We have Erica Ifill here, who is legitimately a very racist far left commentator. 0.98

00:05:12.620 But she works for the Hill Times somehow.

00:05:14.780 And when I say racist, go look at her timeline.

00:05:16.980 Type in white people into Erica Ifill's timeline and you'll know what I mean.

00:05:21.780 Or really anyone.

00:05:22.800 She also called somebody who was like a brown woman who disagreed with her fair skinned because you're not actually brown if you disagree with Erica Ifill. 0.96

00:05:30.840 So she says, as I've been saying, Gaza matters in Michigan, even if that's not like the rest of the country.

00:05:37.260 But each county has its own political issues that are oriented around the people who live there.

00:05:42.460 And she is responding to this person whose name is austerity is theft on Twitter, just to show how much of a socialist bubble Erica Ifill is living in.

00:05:52.260 And they say the margin in Michigan is down to 90,000 votes.

00:05:56.140 There are over 200,000 Muslim votes in the state and more than 88,000 Lebanese Americans of any faith.

00:06:03.260 Trump won Muslim voters. 1.00

00:06:05.020 Morons. 1.00

00:06:05.460 He literally won Muslim voters because it turns out Muslim voters and more so just Arab Americans in general don't care about defending Hamas. 0.99

00:06:15.840 Yes, there is a sub-faction of Arab Americans who might vote that way.

00:06:19.880 And actually, because Harris didn't pander enough to specific radicals on the ground, she ended up being beaten by the Green candidate Jill Stein in certain precincts in Dearborn, Michigan. 0.99

00:06:30.480 But Trump still won them overall.

00:06:33.000 But the idea that Erica Ifill thinks that, no, actually, Harris just needed to be more pro-Hamas, more pro-Gaza, as she would probably put it, that that's why she would have lost Michigan.

00:06:44.480 No, she wouldn't have won Michigan by doing that.

00:06:47.000 She would have lost every other state even harder. 0.99

00:06:49.700 Why do you think currently – I should bring this up on screen.

00:06:52.120 I have to load this up quick.

00:06:53.240 Why do you think that even in deep blue states, Trump gained massively in some of the bluest district of blue states?

00:07:01.720 Trump won Florida, which some Democrats were pretending, some liberal commentators in Canada were pretending could be in the pocket of Kamala Harris on the night of the election, that she could win Florida or Texas.

00:07:15.960 Donald Trump won Florida by a wider margin than she won New York State.

00:07:23.240 She won – he won it – he came closer.

00:07:26.660 He had a more than double margin of victory in Florida than she did in New Jersey.

00:07:32.580 And here's the Bronx.

00:07:34.080 Remember, Trump did a rally in the Bronx while he was on trial.

00:07:37.260 He had that court case in New York State.

00:07:41.460 Harris only got 72.7% of the vote in the Bronx, and Trump got 27.3%.

00:07:46.960 Oh, it's a big victory for Harris in the Bronx.

00:07:48.760 Biden had 83% of the vote in the Bronx last election.

00:07:53.920 Trump only had 15.

00:07:55.540 This is a 23% swing.

00:07:58.800 And it's not because Trump did the rally there exactly.

00:08:02.400 That probably helped him out quite a bit, shows he cares, although he kind of had to do a rally there.

00:08:06.260 He wasn't, I think, even allowed to leave a certain area of the city.

00:08:11.320 It was pretty crazy.

00:08:12.160 But, like, it's because maybe you're out of touch.

00:08:16.360 Maybe people wanted a candidate that they knew.

00:08:18.800 Maybe they didn't want Joe Biden swapped out with Kamala Harris three months before the election.

00:08:24.640 Joe Biden is an infinitely better candidate than Kamala Harris, even at the age of 81.

00:08:29.280 That guy can generate clips.

00:08:31.660 And this matters a lot, generating clips.

00:08:33.860 Remember the Kamala Harris-Trump debate?

00:08:35.640 Does anyone remember a single thing Harris said in that entire debate?

00:08:38.740 She won in with the goal of trying to show Americans who she is because that was the biggest complaint with independent voters. 0.79

00:08:46.360 They don't know who she is.

00:08:47.440 She goes into that debate.

00:08:48.820 And then there's all these liberal commentators, all these lefty NDP liberal commentators in Canada.

00:08:54.240 She's like, she's so good.

00:08:56.180 Oh, my goodness.

00:08:56.960 She was so good at the debate. 0.99

00:08:58.700 She beat Trump.

00:08:59.700 Oh, she was so good.

00:09:00.840 And Trump had a weird debate performance with eating the cats and the dog comment.

00:09:04.620 But guess what?

00:09:05.740 Nobody actually talked about Kamala Harris's performance after that debate.

00:09:09.620 She didn't say anything.

00:09:10.980 So independent voters, they can say, yeah, Trump's a weird guy still.

00:09:14.700 But you don't know anything about Harris at all.

00:09:16.940 You want a candidate who can generate clips.

00:09:19.280 Joe Biden actually can generate clips.

00:09:21.880 He actually has some charisma to him.

00:09:24.020 Remember when we put on that Trump hat?

00:09:25.520 He has a kind of an instinct for what a crowd wants to see.

00:09:28.320 He knows how to talk to people in such a way that he can be funny or he can, you know, be snarky or whatever.

00:09:35.400 Harris doesn't have any of that.

00:09:36.980 But you get all these liberals in Canada like, oh, Harris was so good.

00:09:40.980 Oh, there's nothing wrong with the campaign.

00:09:43.180 I think they were talking about on The View today, but I've also heard it on other Canadian outlets.

00:09:47.460 They were like, oh, she just ran a great campaign, class act campaign, although she was calling her opponent a Nazi the entire time.

00:09:53.680 How do you concede a race to somebody that you've been calling a Nazi?

00:09:57.500 If anything, if Harris was serious about that, she should concede at all because apparently this guy's Hitler. 0.56

00:10:03.240 Oh, my goodness.

00:10:04.240 There's so many unhinged takes.

00:10:05.980 The funny thing is I always disagree with people when they say Justin Trudeau is a communist.

00:10:09.900 He's not a communist.

00:10:11.440 He is very much like a lefty, socialistic type prime minister.

00:10:17.440 I do jab David Eby as being a communist, but that's far more tongue in cheek.

00:10:21.560 And it's more so that if anyone says, can you prove he's a communist?

00:10:24.440 I will just say I can't prove he's a capitalist either, so you tell me.

00:10:28.220 But I guess we can move on to another take.

00:10:31.120 We have Bruce Arthur here from the Toronto Star.

00:10:34.140 He says, in response to this guy saying, stock markets at record highs, low unemployment wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on.

00:10:45.700 So what's funny about that comment immediately from that Brett guy that Bruce Arthur is responding to is that isn't Canada supposed to have the best inflation record?

00:10:53.480 If you mess with the metrics, every G7 country can pretend it has a great record on inflation.

00:10:58.800 It's been pretty bad in both Canada and the U.S.

00:11:01.440 Because there was massive inflation in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

00:11:06.200 And now in 2024, they're like, oh, it's only 2%.

00:11:08.840 The problem is that 2% compounding on years where it was like 7%, 9%, and 6%.

00:11:15.280 Anyways, but here's what Bruce Arthur says.

00:11:18.580 Information systems are broken.

00:11:20.620 Inflation is toxic, even with wage growth.

00:11:23.260 Rural voters are spiraling into a different world. 1.00

00:11:25.860 And men are in an increasingly bad place.

00:11:30.020 And the damage will be profound.

00:11:32.640 Trump will trash the American government's rule of law.

00:11:35.540 Likely the economy.

00:11:37.040 Maybe vaccine progress.

00:11:38.780 Maybe the press.

00:11:39.960 Ukraine and maybe Taiwan and Palestine.

00:11:42.500 And probably democracy and the Constitution.

00:11:45.280 We'll find out.

00:11:46.420 But that could only be a start.

00:11:48.360 Like, Bruce Arthur, you're the person who is on a different world.

00:11:53.440 You think that rural voters in the U.S. have shifted?

00:11:57.380 They've been Republican for a while.

00:11:59.340 And they've just gotten a little bit more Republican.

00:12:01.460 They still want small government, family values.

00:12:05.020 Get it out of my way.

00:12:06.120 That's pretty much their entire voter priority list when it comes to rural voters.

00:12:11.520 That and, like, patriotism, good national security.

00:12:15.980 And here's again.

00:12:17.380 This is where, and so many of you will probably actually believe that what I'm about to say is not true about Trump and Ukraine.

00:12:23.740 Because there is so much liberal commentary that Trump's bad on Ukraine.

00:12:27.080 Trump hates Ukraine.

00:12:28.720 Whatever, whatever.

00:12:29.580 Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau are the heroes of Ukraine.

00:12:32.660 You know that when Ukraine was invaded back in 2014, Obama gave them no offensive weapons.

00:12:39.100 Didn't do anything to Russia.

00:12:40.700 Basically didn't sanction them at all.

00:12:42.200 Like, sanctioned a singular oligarch.

00:12:43.820 So now he just has to pass money to somebody else to buy stuff for him in the U.S.

00:12:47.500 Wow, what a big deal.

00:12:48.660 When Trump became president, he actually started giving offensive weapons to Ukraine, Georgia, the Eastern Bloc countries, Finland, Sweden.

00:12:58.260 He started upping the military budget.

00:13:00.740 He was actually intimidating to Russia.

00:13:03.420 When Biden became president in 2021, do you know that Biden immediately cut offensive weapons to Ukraine?

00:13:10.280 He just said, no, no more Javelin missiles, no more artillery.

00:13:12.660 I don't care. 1.00

00:13:13.660 I'm slashing the military budget to pay for some other stupid entitlement in the U.S. 0.99

00:13:18.380 And then he only restored the funding after the invasion started from Russia again. 0.94

00:13:22.860 So there's the 2014 invasion that kind of stalemated.

00:13:25.500 And then when the 22 invasion started, that's when Biden started kicking money in to the Ukraine defense.

00:13:30.520 That's Russia invaded because Biden basically signaled we're not going to defend them at all by cutting their funding and saying, yeah, we don't want a part of it.

00:13:37.480 And if Russia makes a small encouragement, we won't do anything.

00:13:39.980 Oh, my goodness.

00:13:41.160 Trump's actual threat to Russia is back in the day was if you invade, I might hit your oil supplies.

00:13:45.600 And Putin's like, you're not going to do that.

00:13:47.380 And Trump's like, I might.

00:13:48.840 And that's usually enough to keep people away.

00:13:51.180 You know, Trump's actual plan on Ukraine, if you've actually heard it from from national security advisors around him, is that he wants to triple the Ukraine funding unless Russia finds an off ramp, which is actually the right way to negotiate.

00:14:03.700 I know some people who are more anti-interventionists, they're like, well, you should just cut Ukraine's funding so that they'll negotiate for peace.

00:14:10.600 Ukraine's the underdog in this scenario.

00:14:12.500 If you cut their funding, Russia's going to be like, well, let's just bag the whole crowd down and keep pushing. 0.99

00:14:16.360 They'll eventually run out of ammo.

00:14:17.560 You actually have to make it harder for Russia to move forward.

00:14:20.840 So then they have an excuse to then trade like the Kursk regions where Ukraine gives back the Kursk regions that took a little bit here and there.

00:14:29.360 And then Russia gives some of the Ukrainian regions back.

00:14:32.180 And then we actually have peace.

00:14:33.880 That's the practical that that's the practical nature of foreign policy.

00:14:37.700 Regardless of who you personally think started it, you need a balance of power usually and a way for both sides to claim minor victories in order to stop stuff.

00:14:46.200 This is what Teddy Roosevelt did in the Russo-Japanese War back in 1903 or 1901 or something in that range, because both sides need to be able to pretend that they can claim victory, even if in that war, Russia got absolutely destroyed by Japan.

00:15:02.280 Anyways.

00:15:02.680 But now let's move on to Greg McEacherin, because I find this endlessly hilarious.

00:15:09.300 So he's responding to Jeff Bezos saying, big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th president on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory.

00:15:17.900 No nation has bigger opportunities.

00:15:19.540 Wishing real Donald Trump all success in leading the uniting of America we all love.

00:15:24.180 And everyone's mad, Jeff Bezos, because at the National Post, which he owns, he basically said, you guys are not going to be issuing any sort of endorsement for candidates.

00:15:33.400 I think he knew that Kamala Harris was probably falling apart. 0.90

00:15:35.740 Why look embarrassing by endorsing this late?

00:15:38.960 And so Greg McEacherin, a liberal commentator and strategist who is on a left CBC panel, says, how much money is enough money?

00:15:47.300 I mean, Kamala Harris spent, outspent Donald Trump, and this is just campaign to campaign, not counting PACs, although PACs tend to be pretty equal on how much money they use.

00:16:00.020 Kamala Harris spent three times, almost three times as much money as Trump spent.

00:16:04.740 She lost.

00:16:06.380 Electoral college and probably a popular vote.

00:16:09.280 What are you talking?

00:16:09.780 Or is it now Greg McEacherin's mad because, well, Jeff Bezos shilled out for the evil orange man and didn't let Washington Post give out the decisive endorsement that apparently would have clinched it for Kamala Harris if it was given.

00:16:22.600 And now he's mad that Jeff Bezos has money.

00:16:25.920 I don't know.

00:16:26.340 Get good, Greg.

00:16:27.360 Get good.

00:16:28.260 Get a, you know, develop a talent and maybe you can be as rich as Jeff Bezos.

00:16:32.940 Oh, my goodness.

00:16:33.780 These people are five years old.

00:16:34.920 Now, I just want to move on to the CBC, which had an absolute crazy night yesterday with just nutcase type, like, takes on the election.

00:16:46.620 Actually, first, let's just look, jump to this.

00:16:49.420 You don't even really need to see it.

00:16:50.540 So, Heather McPherson, the very pro-Hamas NDP MLA for, I believe, Edmonton Strathcona, it went to Wisconsin to do ballot observations in Wisconsin, I believe, for the Democrats, or at least watching the process.

00:17:06.020 Why?

00:17:07.140 Why are you doing this?

00:17:09.060 If I was a conservative MP or MP candidate, I wouldn't be going to the U.S. to help out the Republicans.

00:17:15.880 It's deeply inappropriate, although I will give a shout-out to, I'm not going to name them, but people who watch my channel, we met up a couple times when we were in B.C. at some events, and they went down to help out Charlie Kirk's organization go and get out the vote.

00:17:31.300 And I believe it was Arizona or Pennsylvania, and they were actually in a video with Charlie Kirk saying that they came in from B.C. to help flip the state's red, which is, you know, that's a lot of fun.

00:17:42.340 And good job on you guys for getting involved.

00:17:44.160 You know, I always like when people get involved.

00:17:45.960 And people are going to be like, Wyatt, like, if I ever run for office at some point again, they're like, Wyatt, you like Trump better than Kamala Harris?

00:17:52.660 Yes, he is a conservative candidate overall.

00:17:56.120 Kamala Harris is a lefty progressive candidate.

00:17:59.760 Why is this difficult to understand that a conservative might like the conservative candidate?

00:18:04.500 But Wyatt, he said bad things sometimes.

00:18:07.300 Yeah, I don't like bad things that he says.

00:18:09.340 Well, he denied the 2020 election.

00:18:11.740 Yeah, that wasn't a good thing to do.

00:18:13.480 And with the 2020 election, too, you got to understand, even right now, there are some Democrats going around saying that it was like rigged or whatever.

00:18:20.740 You're always going to have a bunch of people on one side saying it was rigged.

00:18:23.440 And if you want to stop people from saying it's rigged, make sure the ballot counting happens faster so everything isn't crazy.

00:18:29.240 Don't mass mail out ballots to people so then people start becoming worried that people didn't actually fill out the ballots themselves.

00:18:34.900 If you want to avoid stuff like that in the future, do voting the way Florida did.

00:18:39.400 Do voting in Canada the way Saskatchewan did.

00:18:41.580 Don't do it like B.C., who we still haven't gotten the judicial recounts for in places like Kelowna Center and Surrey Guilford.

00:18:48.680 Anyways, but now I just want to move on to the stuff that was going on in on the CBC.

00:18:55.980 This was hilarious to me.

00:18:57.680 I love it.

00:18:58.400 This is my favorite thing.

00:19:02.240 Maybe I'm going to I'll go to the shorter version because there is a longer version of this clip, but we don't really want to be here for like two and a half minutes.

00:19:08.620 Well, there may not be many left after Trump decides he's going to round them up and deport everybody.

00:19:13.560 I mean, this is the thing that like really.

00:19:15.560 But is that not to Kevin's point?

00:19:17.100 Is that not a difference between illegal and legal?

00:19:20.380 So I don't think anybody's illegal.

00:19:22.260 Just here illegally. 1.00

00:19:23.040 Just here illegally is different than calling people illegal.

00:19:26.800 She's the Democratic commentator on the CBC panel, by the way, and he's a Republican.

00:19:31.260 Who could have best why you lost when somebody is having normal concerns about illegal immigration and you say nobody's illegal as like some gotcha.

00:19:39.580 And then they have to say, so wait, you don't care if people enter the country illegally?

00:19:43.580 She's like, oh, I do.

00:19:44.860 You don't actually.

00:19:46.060 Only when someone prompts you. 0.98

00:19:47.240 The fact that you go to a stupid slogan like nobody's illegal proves why so much of the country just rejected the platform that Kamala Harris ran on, the character that she ran on. 0.97

00:19:57.480 Like, I know she technically ran as a border hawk here, but the problem is her record is the nobody's illegal type sloganeering. 1.00

00:20:03.240 But, you know, I'm just reminded of a time when there was authority to have internment camps and to round up Japanese people and someone who is of Japanese descent.

00:20:13.840 When you say I have a concept of a plan, but I'm going to just start mass reporting people, what does that look like and what does that mean logistically?

00:20:21.840 Those are the things that I'm really interested in. 0.61

00:20:23.460 What's she implying that, like, Trump's going to line people up against a wall and shoot them?

00:20:27.400 He's actually articulated this before.

00:20:29.020 He's basically mostly going to be focusing on anyone with a criminal record and moving them out of the country.

00:20:33.620 And then probably then moving on to people, you know, obviously not paying taxes or doing other, you know, like people who are basically living on the streets and don't have homes.

00:20:43.440 And they obviously shouldn't be in the U.S., especially if they're not citizens. 0.99

00:20:46.780 Probably stuff like that.

00:20:48.180 Like the idea that we can keep it just implying that he might do something evil is ludicrous.

00:20:53.620 Interested in the first 100 days of really understanding what the plan is, right?

00:20:58.620 You can't just go around and make these blanket statements.

00:21:01.260 Actually, the thing is, these people haven't been watching at all.

00:21:05.300 It really hasn't just been blanket statements.

00:21:07.740 He was, the funny thing is, Trump's not a very complicated guy in the sense he doesn't like to talk about nitty gritty policy.

00:21:14.380 But he was the one who was giving more detail than even Kamala Harris was.

00:21:18.020 It was embarrassing for her.

00:21:19.220 Nobody could tell what her platform was the entire time.

00:21:22.100 Here's another clip from the CBC panel.

00:21:23.860 This is the really unhinged one.

00:21:25.040 The argument J.D. Vance has made subsequently is that, okay, well.

00:21:28.700 And by the way, in this clip they're talking about, why was the 2020 election, like, Trump thought it was rigged.

00:21:34.120 And he's saying, well, J.D. Vance's defense of that is when things like the Hunter Biden laptop story are suppressed.

00:21:40.020 And there's mass mail and validating.

00:21:41.980 And there's, like, it's taking forever to count.

00:21:43.960 Obviously, you're going to have a lot of people say, well, that felt unfair.

00:21:46.740 Might not have been rigged at the ballot box.

00:21:49.840 But they did suppress a laptop that would have changed votes.

00:21:52.300 We know that.

00:21:52.780 But they did change voting rules all over the place.

00:21:56.760 It's not spread misinformation on air.

00:21:58.600 That's not true.

00:21:59.260 It's absolutely true.

00:22:00.000 It's not true.

00:22:00.460 We have public calling for it.

00:22:01.420 That's not true, which is why there's been no litigation around it.

00:22:04.060 And no one's been held liable for that.

00:22:05.920 How do you hold people liable for that?

00:22:08.840 What?

00:22:10.480 The whole point was that there was just obvious media and FBI collusion.

00:22:15.520 And this has been proven that there was FBI just telling the media and social media companies that the laptop story is fake.

00:22:22.520 There's all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign without evidence other than just pure speculation.

00:22:28.580 And so they ended up killing a story that could have potentially affected the outcome of an election.

00:22:33.100 And that was a government institution doing that.

00:22:35.720 That's a problem. 0.99

00:22:37.060 And, again, sometimes crap happens. 0.80

00:22:39.260 People do stuff.

00:22:40.080 And that's not exactly why you lose races.

00:22:42.100 But that's going to make people feel like it's unfair when even if there was a well-meaning FBI agent who truly thought it was Russian disinformation,

00:22:51.460 you generally shouldn't be sticking your finger into an election unless you are bulletproof sure that something is literally a fake story and you can prove it.

00:23:00.660 There's been absolutely no election.

00:23:02.100 I'm talking about a media narrative story.

00:23:03.540 I'm not talking about actually rigging of an election.

00:23:06.320 That's the J.D. Vance argument.

00:23:07.560 I'm just giving you J.D. Vance's argument.

00:23:08.840 But, yeah, you're right.

00:23:12.360 It does undermine.

00:23:13.400 It does create long-term problems for the Republican Party to not believe in the vote, you know, the voting system that has been set up.

00:23:21.140 Some of the states have taken action.

00:23:22.800 Georgia's fixed up, you know, their system a bit.

00:23:25.820 They all, what they all need to do, and I don't know why they don't do this, is just call Jeb Bush and have him come in and do what he did to Florida and just do that in your state.

00:23:33.940 Let's talk about exactly the question that you're asking is one that I've been catching a lot of heat for answering.

00:23:40.300 This is the really unhinged moment.

00:23:42.040 On air, and we've been talking about this in the last week or two.

00:23:45.320 You're talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump.

00:23:49.680 This is not new.

00:23:51.080 This is not surprising.

00:23:52.320 This is directly out of Hitler's playbook. 0.93

00:23:54.620 This is out of an autocrat playbook. 0.66

00:23:57.740 This is a way to, I mean.

00:24:00.320 What's out of Hitler's playbook? 0.88

00:24:02.520 I guess technically Hitler also won an election, so that means Trump's going out of Hitler's playbook.

00:24:08.000 Trump, Hitler was a big ally of Israel?

00:24:11.340 What was Hitler?

00:24:12.300 Hitler was a national socialist. 0.74

00:24:14.520 I'm pretty sure last time I checked that Trump is not a big government, like top-down economic control, militarism type guy.

00:24:24.740 I don't see what their problem here is.

00:24:27.580 It's just words.

00:24:28.760 The things that Trump has done masterfully, frankly, is to get the entire, you know, to get a big part of the population to believe that the game is rigged and to sow distrust in public institutions and the free press.

00:24:48.740 That is a tried-and-true playbook that we have seen time and time before that has resulted in really disastrous things for society, and that is what's working.

00:24:58.320 And so it's actually quite simple.

00:24:59.780 When you tell a big enough lie over and over and over, people are going to believe it, even when...

00:25:04.740 What was the big enough lie?

00:25:07.560 Well, like, actually, what was the big enough lie?

00:25:09.700 That, like, America, like, unless she's claiming that, like, saying that American, like, the free press is very biased to the left, that our institutions basically just perpetuate themselves and they're not actually looking out for your best interests and whatnot.

00:25:22.840 How is that, like, the big lie?

00:25:25.440 What's the big lie here?

00:25:26.820 Trump does actually lie quite a bit. 1.00

00:25:28.640 They're all usually soft, small, stupid lies, like he will lie about crowd size. 1.00

00:25:33.040 It's dumb. 1.00

00:25:33.840 Or he'll lie about doing something embarrassing 10 years ago because who's going to, like, admit to being an adulterer when you're running for president? 0.99

00:25:40.580 And obviously he was in the past.

00:25:42.960 But, like, what's his, like, really...

00:25:44.940 Yeah, the 2020 election thing, that was, like, if anything, that one probably hurt him because it probably kept some people home because they're like, what's the point of voting because they're going to print ballots anyways?

00:25:53.400 And that's just not what happens in 2020.

00:25:55.560 Anyways, but, yeah, like, it was really just mass mail-in voting.

00:26:00.360 It was a gamified 2020 election where the Democrats have a better ballot harvesting operation, ergo they were able to win some of these states by very thin margins.

00:26:08.920 And obviously to a lot of Republicans observing, that feels deeply unfair because it wasn't, like, you got really passionate voters out to vote for you.

00:26:17.500 You got some...

00:26:18.180 You kept going back to someone's house until they're like, sure, I'll just mark Biden, leave me alone.

00:26:22.080 Because they had an unprecedented amount of ballots in 2020 where they only marked the presidential candidate and that was it.

00:26:27.680 Even though you could have just kept going down the list and just marking, like, Democrat candidates, it makes it super easy to vote down a single slate.

00:26:33.640 And, like, hundreds of thousands of people in specific states were not voting for anyone but the president.

00:26:37.640 And folks around him, like Rudy Giuliani and others, have are, you know, have literally been found liable for telling those lies that weren't true.

00:26:47.740 The public still believes it.

00:26:49.620 And the whole goal was to erode trust in our public institutions.

00:26:54.280 And it's working.

00:26:55.500 And if anything, that's fake news.

00:26:57.380 I mean, Donald Trump has done that really well.

00:26:58.720 Can't argue with that, right?

00:26:59.780 Why are all these people just looking at her stone face?

00:27:02.400 Like, this is just normal. 0.88

00:27:03.640 This is so unhinged.

00:27:05.580 Why do people wonder why the CBC's panelists weren't able to detect the appeal of Pierre Polyev?

00:27:11.580 Because they're in such a bubble.

00:27:13.280 They're like, well, Kamala Harris lost?

00:27:15.000 Well, probably lies.

00:27:16.220 And, you know, there was probably a bunch of lies out there.

00:27:18.460 That's why she lost.

00:27:19.880 She was fantastic. 0.66

00:27:21.020 How could she have lost?

00:27:21.720 It was because of the lies.

00:27:23.300 Just the lies.

00:27:24.280 It's because Kamala Harris doesn't lie, obviously. 0.92

00:27:26.600 Oh, my goodness.

00:27:27.960 These people are so tired.

00:27:28.940 Here's another one.

00:27:31.160 Thanks for Rachel Parker for taking a photo of this headline from Andrew Coyne, a fake conservative commentator.

00:27:38.300 And she says, give it a rest already.

00:27:40.360 And it's a headline from Andrew Coyne saying, Trump's election is a crisis like no other, not only for the U.S., but for the world.

00:27:47.680 Oh, my goodness.

00:27:49.040 Here's a video from Frank Dominic.

00:27:52.980 And I think he actually makes a better case for why the Democrats lost the election than most.

00:27:59.440 But I still want to just talk about it because I find even his perspective on it as a more lefty guy that the Democrats were not lefty enough is quite humorous.

00:28:09.040 Kamala Harris ran an awful campaign. 1.00

00:28:10.780 And the message that progressives and liberals are going to take from this is that they have to move more to the right.

00:28:14.700 That is the absolutely wrong thing to be doing.

00:28:17.060 The political strategy that we should be learning from this event is not that wokeism or left wing ideas aren't going to win because Kamala was not a left wing politician.

00:28:25.880 Literally rated in 2019 as the most liberal senator in the Senate, more than Bernie Sanders.

00:28:34.320 When you actually exit polls showed, and exit polls can be off, I know, but these were pretty big margins, that 36 percent of people thought that Trump was too conservative.

00:28:44.880 I think it was like 48 percent or like something like that thought Kamala Harris was too liberal. 1.00

00:28:51.120 It's not because they've been lied to or anything like that.

00:28:53.660 There's all this lying going on.

00:28:55.160 No, it's because she was too liberal. 0.95

00:28:58.700 And the funny thing is that like the thing is the media can't do this whole like this was a white lash or whatever.

00:29:03.540 It's white voters who voted for Trump.

00:29:05.480 In fact, white women voted for Kamala Harris more than they actually even voted for Joe Biden. 0.77

00:29:11.720 I think Trump had 55 percent of white women in 2020. 0.99

00:29:16.100 And now he only had like 51 or 52.

00:29:18.740 It was black voters and Latino voters who actually elected Donald Trump this time.

00:29:22.080 What we need to learn from this is that big audacious goals, big claims and big promises are what get people to vote when they are on the margins of the undecided or maybe won't vote.

00:29:31.800 People think that there's an issue with illegal migrants in the U.S.

00:29:34.300 Kamala said border security.

00:29:35.620 Trump said deport millions.

00:29:37.560 Wow.

00:29:37.680 You know what?

00:29:38.680 I'm actually going to give Frank Dominic some credit here.

00:29:41.220 He is partially right.

00:29:42.420 And I've said this before when it comes to the New Brunswick election and why Blaine Higgs lost.

00:29:46.180 Blaine Higgs was a good premier.

00:29:47.660 He ran a boring campaign, though.

00:29:49.640 It was saying a 2 percent HST cut.

00:29:51.420 Oh, my goodness.

00:29:52.600 Who cares?

00:29:53.420 You cut HST and then you run on a 2 percent income tax cut.

00:29:58.160 And then people are like, oh, my goodness, he'll actually do it.

00:30:00.200 He cut HST.

00:30:01.600 So he'll probably cut income tax as well.

00:30:03.840 That's how you run a campaign.

00:30:05.080 But he is right that you need an audacious idea to run.

00:30:08.080 I've used those exact words before.

00:30:10.160 You need a big audacious idea to run on.

00:30:12.560 Kamala Harris wouldn't articulate any ideas after her initial launch because her first big audacious ideas were too far left. 0.98

00:30:18.820 So it doesn't just have to be an audacious idea.

00:30:21.420 It also has to be something that's doable, realistic, and doesn't freak people out.

00:30:26.160 So deporting illegal criminal migrants is not something that anyone thinks is extreme.

00:30:31.460 It's actually very in the middle.

00:30:32.780 But it is still a big audacious idea because most people wouldn't run on that.

00:30:36.880 And Harris, the problem is she came out with a wealth tax. 1.00

00:30:40.400 She came out saying that we're going to give everyone a $25,000 down payment on their house if you buy a first.

00:30:46.680 And it's like that's just going to inflate housing prices.

00:30:49.060 That's like the bubble all over again, the housing bubble all over again.

00:30:52.460 There's a few other things she wanted to do that just made her seem very out of touch, very San Francisco left, anti-price gouging laws, pretending that it's grocery stores, just like Jagmeet Singh in Canada, that it's grocery stores price gouging people. 0.97

00:31:06.500 And it's just not the fact that like the inflation is crazy because we keep printing money and increasing spending.

00:31:12.780 But I'll give Frank this that generally speaking, Trump had the big ideas that people could actually wrap their hands around and they knew what he was running on.

00:31:19.560 You couldn't tell what Kamala was running on.

00:31:21.160 That sounds awful.

00:31:22.780 It is still something that is big.

00:31:24.280 It is audacious.

00:31:24.980 And it sounds like something will get done because Kamala kept pushing forward the status quo. 0.87

00:31:29.380 People are upset about the war in Israel.

00:31:31.540 Kamala said, bring the hostages home. 0.96

00:31:33.420 Trump said, we're going to end the war.

00:31:35.660 How?

00:31:36.320 Doesn't matter.

00:31:37.120 Abortion is a huge issue. 0.97

00:31:38.200 Trump said, leave it up to the states.

00:31:39.880 And Kamala didn't really promise much.

00:31:41.920 Well, that is the status quo position from Trump, to be fair.

00:31:44.940 And she actually wanted to bring back Roe v. Wade.

00:31:47.080 So I think he just wasn't paying attention.

00:31:48.660 So in a certain sense, she had the big audacious idea on that front.

00:31:52.080 But the problem is more Americans are far more pro-life than the media and commentators think.

00:31:58.580 Yes, they might not vote for a full-on abortion ban in a specific state.

00:32:02.220 And we can even see places like Kansas reject ballot initiatives for a full ban.

00:32:06.360 But that doesn't mean that people want ninth-month abortions back on the federal level that any state can do or every state has to have up to at least 24 weeks or 16 weeks or whatever.

00:32:18.580 Even when they did promise bigger things like legalization, they kind of swept it under the rug.

00:32:21.600 It wasn't a big talking point.

00:32:22.840 Typically, most people know what party they want.

00:32:24.380 Because the marijuana legalization stuff was – or was that about abortion still?

00:32:29.120 I think it was.

00:32:29.640 But regardless, he might have been talking about abortion there.

00:32:31.560 But she did the pot legalization thing. 1.00

00:32:33.700 But it was like three days before the election.

00:32:35.100 It was like a move where you could tell her and her advisors were, like, really sweaty and desperate when they announced that one.

00:32:42.520 They just thought, like, oh, my goodness, we just need, like, to win some of our base back.

00:32:46.180 And it just didn't work.

00:32:47.180 And a lot of people aren't looking at the nuances of a plan or a policy to figure out where they're going to vote.

00:32:52.400 People want to see ambition.

00:32:53.440 They want to see confidence.

00:32:54.180 And they want to see change.

00:32:55.580 The U.S. economy is doing good.

00:32:57.220 But they are also going through a vibe session.

00:32:59.200 Same with Canada.

00:32:59.940 People feel down.

00:33:01.080 And so that actually drags down the economy.

00:33:03.300 No, the economy is legitimately bad.

00:33:04.860 But, Frank, because he is on the left and he doesn't want to admit that lefty governance, even if it's from, like, Joe Biden, who he probably would consider too right or whatever, he still wants to pretend that actually things are better.

00:33:16.740 And Republicans and conservatives in Canada are exploiting your bad feelings to pretend like it's a bad economy. 0.96

00:33:24.100 No, the economy does suck.

00:33:25.660 GDP going up does not mean per capita GDP isn't going down. 0.97

00:33:29.080 That's what's happening currently in Canada.

00:33:31.080 And things are stagnant in the U.S., even if raw GDP is going up.

00:33:35.680 People are not actually getting ahead.

00:33:38.320 Anyways, so I want to move on to a different video just because that was going to become a little more repetitious.

00:33:44.640 Here's Justin Trudeau congratulating Donald Trump on his victory.

00:33:48.840 And then I want to talk about the implications of the things that him and Jagmeet Singh have been saying over the past year.

00:33:54.520 I think I do also have a clip of Jagmeet Singh talking.

00:33:56.720 First, I want to congratulate Donald on a decisive victory last night.

00:34:01.500 I look forward to working with President Trump once again to strengthen North American economic opportunities for the middle class,

00:34:11.460 to grow our economies in ways that make us competitive around the world,

00:34:15.880 to protect North America from the many, many challenges that exist around the world.

00:34:20.040 The world is actually even more difficult and more complicated than it was four years ago.

00:34:26.340 And I know that there's lots of work for us to do.

00:34:29.760 I'm looking forward to do it.

00:34:31.580 On our side, we've been preparing for this.

00:34:34.200 We're looking forward to doing this work.

00:34:36.640 I'm sorry, but were they preparing for this?

00:34:38.840 I'm about to have to get to what he was doing before all this and how he was preparing.

00:34:42.860 But oh my goodness, no, you were not preparing.

00:34:44.600 And we're going to make sure that this extraordinary friendship and alliance between Canada and the United States continues to be a real benefit to Canadians,

00:34:54.160 but also to people around the world.

00:34:56.160 Okay, okay.

00:34:57.080 I need to quickly pull this down.

00:34:58.600 I want to see if I have the Jagmeet Singh clip.

00:35:00.500 I have the Jagmeet Singh clip.

00:35:01.720 That's fantastic.

00:35:02.500 I want it right now.

00:35:04.040 Let's go to the – I'll do this one after.

00:35:07.880 I don't need to show you the Jagmeet Singh clip.

00:35:10.360 He's like, oh, yes, congratulations, Donald Trump won.

00:35:12.400 But there's a lot of Canadians hurting over this.

00:35:15.400 Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau and the rest of the liberals kept calling the conservatives maple mega, far-right, fascist extreme, 0.97

00:35:23.860 that pure polyives like Trump and that means he's evil and bad.

00:35:27.760 We're about to have to do trade negotiations with the guy that you've been saying your opposition is evil because they are like him in some way. 1.00

00:35:38.420 Thanks, idiots. 1.00

00:35:39.920 What are we doing? 1.00

00:35:41.060 Why would you ever do that?

00:35:42.440 Never wade into another country's elections or labeling who you like and who you don't like unless it's like, you know, we're talking about like a full-on dictatorship.

00:35:55.140 Yeah, we don't have to say nice things about Assad in Syria.

00:35:59.520 Fair enough.

00:36:00.420 Yeah, you don't have to say nice things about him.

00:36:02.240 You don't need to say nice things about the Iranian – like the Iranian leadership.

00:36:06.900 Got it.

00:36:07.600 Fine.

00:36:08.720 Canada?

00:36:09.700 Yeah, don't say whether or not you like people or don't like people. 1.00

00:36:12.960 Doug Ford also looks like a moron. 0.99

00:36:15.660 Congratulating Tim Walz on becoming the Democratic nominee. 1.00

00:36:18.100 That wasn't as bad as what Trudeau and Singh did, obviously, but don't say anything.

00:36:23.220 You're a Canadian elected politician.

00:36:25.220 Say nothing because you are about to negotiate with them and you don't have the amount of distance.

00:36:30.880 You don't have a lot of distance between what you just said and when they enter office where they can say, ah, it was something he said five years ago.

00:36:36.660 This is what you said less than a year ago about Trump, saying that just like pure poly is an evil far-right person because he's like him.

00:36:43.980 You're so flipping disconnected.

00:36:46.820 Here is – okay, actually, I just want to quickly talk about this.

00:36:50.000 There is a lot of lefty election denial already going on, and I'm saying this because I actually understand the emotion.

00:36:59.600 There is a lot of people who get really upset when they lose.

00:37:02.080 So let's not attack people who immediately say, I don't believe it.

00:37:05.860 Sometimes, legitimately, the emotional space you were in, you weren't going to believe an outcome that wasn't a victory, even though you should have prepared yourself.

00:37:13.420 So this guy, Neil Lombard, says a recount is not enough.

00:37:16.780 Demand a re-vote and investigation into election interference by Russia and swing states that previously went to President Biden.

00:37:23.560 Both Biden and Harris and other prominent voices need to support this motion.

00:37:27.760 And naturally, this happens when you've been saying that Trump's Adolf Hitler 2.0, and naturally, if he wins, how could he have won? 0.89

00:37:35.260 He was a fascist. 0.94

00:37:36.260 Who would vote for a fascist? 0.97

00:37:37.340 It's almost like he wasn't.

00:37:39.000 It's almost like he wasn't.

00:37:41.120 And especially, I don't know how he was like a fascist.

00:37:43.380 Like people kept saying, fascism is authoritarian trade unionism.

00:37:47.820 In fact, technically, trade unionism.

00:37:49.420 And trade unionism isn't that you like unions.

00:37:52.240 Trade unionism is the belief that unions should run the entire economy.

00:37:55.920 Like they should own the brick and mortar that the work is going on with, not just controlling the labor.

00:38:03.740 So that's what fascism, syndicalism, trade unionism is.

00:38:07.640 So it was kind of weird when they kept saying that Trump's trade unionist.

00:38:11.300 But stuff like that's going on.

00:38:13.160 And I guarantee there's not going to be a lot of call outs from the left on stuff like that.

00:38:17.340 Let's look over here now at, oh, OK, I've got to highlight this.

00:38:20.520 It's a great, it's a great comment.

00:38:23.460 You know what?

00:38:24.100 Does it feel wrong that I don't have this piece of literature behind me right now?

00:38:28.940 Whatever.

00:38:29.580 Brian will recover.

00:38:30.760 But I used to have, I've replaced him with Lawrence Mock right here.

00:38:34.380 But Brian Breguet, the BC conservative candidate for Vancouver Langara and a great friend.

00:38:38.820 He says, low IQ people.

00:38:41.020 Trump is underestimated in the polls.

00:38:43.260 High IQ.

00:38:44.280 No, but you don't understand.

00:38:45.620 Polls are now overestimating Trump.

00:38:47.760 Trust me.

00:38:48.280 Look at 2022.

00:38:49.060 Also look at the Seltzer poll.

00:38:50.820 Never wrong.

00:38:51.620 Plus enthusiasm, dude.

00:38:53.380 And obviously he is making fun of so many both American and Canadian lefty commentators 1.00

00:38:58.560 who think that you're an idiot for thinking that the polls are once again going to underestimate 0.99

00:39:03.080 Donald Trump, which they actually still underestimated him by like a point or two in most of these 1.00

00:39:07.240 states.

00:39:07.700 Not as much because I think polls did correct.

00:39:10.760 But you are considered a very nuanced commentator to say, actually, in 2022, the Republicans

00:39:16.920 actually underperformed their polls, even though Trump wasn't on the ticket.

00:39:20.560 And so that's why Ann Seltzer might be on to something that in Iowa, she's going to win 1.00

00:39:26.440 by three, even though she now has a 17 point miss in that race. 1.00

00:39:31.000 It's crazy.

00:39:32.360 And the thing is, the crosstab should have told Ann Seltzer that she was wrong.

00:39:35.860 Richard Barris, the People's Pundit.

00:39:37.420 I think he does a really good polling based show in the U.S.

00:39:39.920 If you guys ever want to hear about U.S. polls, go look up Richard Barris, the People's

00:39:44.480 Pundit on YouTube and you can find him.

00:39:46.200 He was pointing out Ann Seltzer's poll, when he looked at the crosstabs of who she was polling

00:39:50.580 and where they were from and what they said were their top issues, it was like threat to

00:39:53.980 democracy was the top issue in Iowa in her poll.

00:39:57.100 And then followed by like economy, then abortion with the economy only having like 20 percent

00:40:01.460 of people who cared about it.

00:40:02.520 Like that's not like who did you what did you pull a Starbucks lineup at in Portland?

00:40:08.080 You should look at that and think my polls off.

00:40:10.760 I'm not releasing this.

00:40:11.600 But Ann Seltzer did anyways, probably because frankly, she probably knew her work was bad. 1.00

00:40:16.060 But hey, it's an honest mistake.

00:40:18.540 And this might actually help Kamala Harris out. 1.00

00:40:22.980 Here's a good one.

00:40:24.300 Here's here's one.

00:40:25.560 Actually, no, let's go.

00:40:26.320 Let's go to Christia Freeland. 0.66

00:40:27.420 Now, here is the thing that undermines the whole Justin Trudeau saying, oh, I congratulate

00:40:33.480 Donald on his victory when all of the liberal and NDP politicians are now going to come out

00:40:38.560 and say, I know so many people are crushed and dismayed.

00:40:41.400 So hi, everyone.

00:40:42.780 Good afternoon.

00:40:44.500 Let me start by congratulating President and President-elect Trump and his team on a truly

00:40:53.340 historic election victory.

00:40:55.160 I and the prime minister and our colleagues are looking forward to working together with

00:41:03.140 them.

00:41:04.120 Are you?

00:41:06.160 The Canada-US partnership is absolutely fundamental to the economies of both of our countries.

00:41:16.020 And we have really effective experience working together with this with the

00:41:25.160 a number of US administrations and with this specific team.

00:41:31.300 No, you actually messed up.

00:41:32.880 The trade negotiations for the USMCA were so messed up by our Canadian like negotiators 1.00

00:41:38.940 like Christia Freeland.

00:41:39.820 They messed up so badly.

00:41:41.700 And do you know why?

00:41:42.720 Because Canada under Trudeau has become an anti-energy administrated country that we do not

00:41:49.880 support our own energy industry.

00:41:52.140 We if we actually want to win in a negotiation and trade negotiation with the US where maybe

00:41:57.740 trade barriers go down on both sides and it becomes a freer market or that maybe we get

00:42:02.340 some advantages out of it is if we didn't shut down the Keystone XL pipeline when Trump was

00:42:06.560 president.

00:42:07.020 Maybe we'd have a better bargaining situation like position if we actually had the Keystone XL

00:42:12.980 pipeline.

00:42:13.440 I know that Biden then also canceled it when he came into office, but we had four years

00:42:17.680 where we could have gotten it done.

00:42:19.520 And for some reason, we didn't.

00:42:22.440 Oh, my goodness.

00:42:23.220 It was our fault.

00:42:23.980 It was our fault at that time.

00:42:26.340 And have really built some enduring relationships.

00:42:30.920 I would even say friendships.

00:42:32.140 So we're looking forward to continuing to work together for the prosperity and the security

00:42:39.420 of people on both sides of our shared border.

00:42:44.020 And I do want to say because we live so close to the United States.

00:42:51.100 I know a lot of Canadians were very absorbed in the US election.

00:43:00.000 I know there are a lot of Canadians who are feeling unsettled today.

00:43:06.560 And I want to say to all Canadians that I am absolutely confident that Canada will be

00:43:18.820 prosperous, that Canadians will be safe.

00:43:22.720 Why are you saying any of this?

00:43:24.440 You can't say, I congratulate Donald Trump on his victory.

00:43:27.940 We've had good relationships in the past.

00:43:29.800 I think that's going to carry forward and say, I know a lot of our people are dismayed.

00:43:33.300 And I'm going to guarantee, don't worry, Trump's not going to run over the border and beat

00:43:36.420 you to death with a stick. 0.98

00:43:37.780 Stop even acknowledging that there are lefty people in Canada who hate Donald Trump. 0.99

00:43:42.420 Stop it.

00:43:43.140 It's bad for our negotiating position.

00:43:44.820 Just zip your lip, congratulate whoever wins the election, and then move on and start talking

00:43:50.820 about your own business.

00:43:52.040 But the base of the Liberal Party is so left that she has to say this probably, or they're

00:43:56.960 going to be upset.

00:43:57.660 Why didn't you acknowledge?

00:43:59.020 Why didn't you acknowledge that he's literally the devil in your press conference?

00:44:03.000 I'm going to finish this one off, this episode of the show off, with just this take from

00:44:08.280 Max Fawcett, which I find he's one of those guys who's nuanced on the left, but in this

00:44:13.700 sort of fake way where, like, when you actually dig down to it, it's still just unhinged lefty

00:44:19.080 socialist rhetoric.

00:44:20.400 Here's Max Fawcett, who also, I believe, has gotten upset with me in the past when I've

00:44:24.180 said he's a socialist, or he's very socialistic.

00:44:26.420 He says, as Canadians, there's nothing we can do to change that, but we can start to

00:44:31.200 prepare for the consequences.

00:44:33.620 That means building more robust defenses for our economy.

00:44:36.720 Are you talking about tariffs or, like, economic controls?

00:44:39.880 Defenses.

00:44:40.280 We actually don't need to build defenses.

00:44:42.540 We need a freer market with lowered taxes.

00:44:44.680 Our cultural institutions and our information ecosystems, it means finding ways to depend

00:44:49.600 less on the American neighbors wherever possible, and it means supporting the things that enhance

00:44:54.440 our political resilience against Trump-style demagoguery at home.

00:44:58.860 From public education to proper regulations on social media companies, America may one day

00:45:05.080 recover, at least partially, from the toxic influence of Trumpism.

00:45:08.540 But as this election has made abundantly clear, we can no longer afford to take that for

00:45:14.220 granted.

00:45:14.920 What?

00:45:15.800 What?

00:45:16.140 Oh, we have to censor people because Trump sometimes personally attacks people.

00:45:22.200 We have to have more regulations and tariffs or subsidies or whatever because I know that

00:45:28.620 Trump likes tariffs, but he tends to usually just tariff countries that are actual, like,

00:45:33.960 national security competitors like China.

00:45:37.180 If we lower a tariff here, they might lower a tariff here, we can negotiate this stuff out.

00:45:42.500 It's literally not the end of the world. 1.00

00:45:44.220 The only way that it's actually going to hurt our economy is if our politicians remain stupid 1.00

00:45:48.340 and they keep making Canada a worse and worse place to invest. 1.00

00:45:51.680 The real reason that Trump's America might eat Canada's lunch economically is because our 0.94

00:45:57.880 politicians are incompetent.

00:45:59.480 They keep taxes high. 0.99

00:46:00.800 They keep regulations high.

00:46:02.520 It's impossible to build new homes.

00:46:04.360 And that doesn't mean we need blanket rezoning.

00:46:06.320 It just means that when you do build something, it shouldn't take a long time to do it.

00:46:10.460 It shouldn't take thousands of pieces of paperwork in order to get it done.

00:46:13.840 If we actually fix up our own economy and get competitive, we shouldn't be scared at all. 0.99

00:46:19.580 We're scared because our leadership is stupid because they think that we can just, like, 0.98

00:46:24.920 because they think more about the public tax revenues more than people's actual spending power, 0.99

00:46:32.500 more than people's actual prosperity.

00:46:34.620 That is the problem in Canada.

00:46:36.040 We have government, we have people in the media, politicians, bureaucrats who don't give

00:46:43.080 a rip about the average person anymore.

00:46:46.640 And now they're like, oh my goodness, Trump might destroy us with tariffs in our economy.

00:46:52.500 It wouldn't even matter, even if he was just going to tariff us.

00:46:54.780 If we just lowered taxes, we would survive.

00:46:57.200 We'd be fine.

00:46:58.280 And I don't think he's going to throw a lot of tariffs on Canada.

00:47:00.960 But goodness, lower taxes, guys.

00:47:03.680 Just do something.

00:47:04.400 Stop subsidizing the EV industry and taking taxpayer money away to do it.

00:47:09.600 Let people invest their own money in things that are actually productive.

00:47:13.340 My goodness.

00:47:14.660 Anyways, that's it for me today, guys.

00:47:17.280 Long episode of the show.

00:47:18.700 Hopefully you guys don't mind it.

00:47:20.160 But there was a lot of stuff to talk about today.

00:48:27.040 I can actually give you recommendations on the most conservative people you can vote for, the most, you know, the most electable and conservative candidates in any given race.
