It's not often that a politician will just come out and admit that they are terrible at their jobs, or that they don't understand basic concepts that are key to fulfilling their role in office. But we're talking about Justin Trudeau today. It's become an actual odd trend of his to just say that he doesn't know how basic math works, or to effectively admit that he does not know what the economy is, like we covered last week. Because for some reason, Justin Trudeau thinks like the environment, women's rights, and other nebulous social issues are the economy. Because obviously he wants to deflect from the fact that he has terrible economic performance, so he plays dumb.
00:00:00.280It's not often that a politician will just come out and admit that they are terrible at their jobs or that they don't understand basic concepts key to fulfilling their role in office.
00:00:10.580But we're talking about Justin Trudeau today.
00:00:12.880It's become an actual odd trend of his to come out and just say that he doesn't know how basic math works or to effectively admit that he doesn't know what the economy is like we covered last week.
00:00:23.980Because for some reason, Justin Trudeau thinks like the environment, women's rights, all these other nebulous social issues are the economy because obviously he wants to deflect from the fact that he has terrible economic performance.
00:00:36.320So he plays dumb or is legitimately that dumb to assume that, you know, fighting against transphobia is somehow part of the economy.
00:00:45.580But today it got even worse with Justin Trudeau effectively admitting that he's awful at his job and that his last eight years as being prime minister has been a disaster full of broken promises to the youth who carried him into office back in 2015.
00:01:00.400I don't want to talk too much before this clip because it's quite incredible.
00:01:05.200I don't know why he's doing these sit down interviews every time he just ends up hurting himself more by just opening his mouth.
00:01:10.920It seems like Trudeau's mouth, brain and ears are not connected to each other because he'll say things and his brain will not detect why he just said that.
00:01:18.940And he never corrects himself, even though what he just said makes him look awful.
00:01:23.580I made a commitment in 2015 to a whole bunch of young people who came out to vote for the very, very first time that we were going to be doing the right kinds of things to secure the promise of this country in a way that people were worried about.
00:01:39.660And years later, even with everything we've done on the environment, on inclusion, on gender equality, on growing the economy, on reconciliation, those young people, eight years later, are having trouble paying their rent, worried about their future in ways that are just as tangible, if not more, because of the global context we're in.
00:02:01.620And I didn't make a promise that I was going to make things better for them and then walk away after four years or even after eight years.
00:02:08.400I said I'd be there to fight for them every single day.
00:03:55.540Out of 338 ridings, a bunch of you do live in Calgary Signal Hill.
00:03:59.660Anyways, but if I was advising Trudeau as a conservative, even if I don't want him to succeed, when he said that, that I have a lot of stuff to fulfill and I haven't done it yet.
00:04:10.820At least imply that you're like most of the way there.
00:04:13.880That were 85% of the way to making life a thousand times better, like I promised back in 2015.
00:04:19.280What he's saying there is that he can blame it on other things, like, oh, it's the global economy that's not doing very well, or it's this other issue that was unforeseen, or it was climate change or whatever.
00:04:31.840At least imply that you've been doing a good job.
00:04:34.340Justin Trudeau there almost has a rare moment of clairvoyance where he realizes that everyone doesn't like him and all of his policies have failed.
00:04:42.600But at the same time, he doesn't have the humility to realize that maybe he should promise that I'm going to take a step back, evaluate the mistakes we've made, and see what we can do in the future.
00:04:52.540But instead, he's just like, I made a commitment to young people that I was going to make their lives better, and after eight years, their lives are significantly worse.
00:04:59.420But don't worry, we're going to do the policies more, like an interviewer comes out, like, are you going to do better policies?
00:05:06.900Are you going to, you know, maybe get rid of the carbon tax, do things, make it more affordable?
00:05:10.600No, no, no, the carbon tax is very important.
00:05:21.860And somehow, we're going to get to the point where the policy gets so bad, we break through to the other side, and it actually becomes utopia.
00:05:32.100And this is kind of the progressive mindset, as satirical as I'm being.
00:05:35.220They truly do believe that just taxes aren't high enough.
00:05:38.760We haven't taxed rich people enough to redistribute the wealth to make everyone, to get us to cyber communism or whatever.
00:05:46.140We haven't done it enough to get us to the post-apocalyptic utopia that they want.
00:05:50.700If only we could have even more political power to just quadruple the size of government, then we might be able to actually get everything done.
00:05:59.720Not knowing that maybe if the things aren't going well, it's maybe because government is a solution, because a bird's eye bureaucratic view of the problem is not usually the best way of figuring out what needs to be done to solve it.
00:06:12.960I don't want to go too far down that rabbit hole, but I love moments like this,
00:06:16.600where it seems like Trudeau just doesn't actually understand how he comes across to normal people.
00:06:23.860I think Trudeau is actually kind of good at marketing.
00:06:26.280In 2015, I definitely didn't vote for him.
00:06:29.100I knew he was like a closet socialist.
00:06:31.680At the same time, he used to be at least good at speaking, coming across like a normal guy, Noemi, or at least he seems like a fresh, charismatic figure.
00:06:40.140These days, he's like very bumbling, and maybe it's because truly Gerald Butts was the brain of the liberal operation, and ever since he left in 2019, he's been stumbling around.
00:06:50.520He should have been able to win a majority government against Aaron O'Toole.
00:06:54.880But the incompetence of Trudeau and Aaron O'Toole seem to cancel each other out, so that last election was pretty much just changing the deck chairs on the Titanic, or shuffling the deck chairs around on the Titanic.
00:07:05.720The Titanic, these days, is a fantastic analogy for Canada.
00:07:10.920The crazy debt crisis, housing crisis, immigration crisis that we're currently in is truly sinking us, and Trudeau would be smart to just bow out and call an early election in 2024, take the early loss, pretend like you're confident, lose now.
00:07:26.220Because if you drag this thing out, especially if he tries to extend when the voting date must be, people are going to be so ticked that they're going to not even consider voting liberal for another decade or two.
00:07:38.840That's what happened to the Mulroney conservatives when they didn't leave office, when they clearly had failed.
00:07:43.720That's what happened to social credit.
00:07:44.880And that's what had happened to the Liberal Party in the past, when they had gone very sort of like managerial socialist left.
00:07:54.940But when you hang on in office, that's when people resent you.
00:07:57.800Way past your expiration date, that's when people realize that all you wanted was to sit in the nice velvety chair in your office, and you didn't actually have a real plan to make people's lives better.
00:08:07.560All you had were the same plans, just at different volumes.
00:08:11.260Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:08:13.160Just a quick shameless plug, I have my Give, Send, Go fundraiser linked in the description below.
00:08:18.880Being sued by a billionaire, I'm $25,000 deep in the dumbest defamation suit ever, the dumbest one I've ever been in.
