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.

00:00:00.280 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 key to fulfilling their role in office.
00:00:10.580 But we're talking about Justin Trudeau today.
00:00:12.880 It'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.
00:00:23.980 Because 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. 0.95
00:00:36.320 So he plays dumb or is legitimately that dumb to assume that, you know, fighting against transphobia is somehow part of the economy. 0.97
00:00:44.860 Very strange. 0.99
00:00:45.580 But 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.
00:01:00.400 I don't want to talk too much before this clip because it's quite incredible.
00:01:03.960 It's from global news.
00:01:05.200 I 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.
00:01:10.920 It 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.
00:01:18.940 And he never corrects himself, even though what he just said makes him look awful.
00:01:22.940 Here's the clip.
00:01:23.580 I 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.
00:01:39.660 And 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.
00:02:01.620 And 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.
00:02:08.400 I said I'd be there to fight for them every single day.
00:02:13.300 Even if they don't want you there.
00:02:15.520 Listen, there'll be an election eventually in which people get to make that choice.
00:02:19.080 But I am not giving up on them.
00:02:22.120 I'm not giving up on Canada.
00:02:23.960 I'm not giving up on the progressive vision of progress that we've been fighting for every single day over the past years.
00:02:33.700 Okay.
00:02:34.600 Just first thing, as a Canadian, Wyatt Claypool to Justin Trudeau, I sincerely ask him to give up.
00:02:42.020 If he's failed for eight years straight, like he's effectively implied, he should give up.
00:02:47.400 And I love that he was finally asked a tough question by a global news journal, a big step up from someone like Rachel Gilmore.
00:02:54.400 But they were, I said, or she said, like, even if Canadians hate you, you're still going to remain an office.
00:02:59.040 And that really plays into the cluelessness of Justin Trudeau and how many breaks he's stepping into on in this interview.
00:03:06.080 Even imagine that.
00:03:07.060 He's like, I made a promise to young people.
00:03:08.720 And so far, we haven't fulfilled that promise.
00:03:11.680 It's still unaffordable.
00:03:13.020 They can't own houses.
00:03:14.320 They can't afford basic groceries, all this other stuff.
00:03:16.800 But don't worry, guys.
00:03:18.020 That eight years of failure isn't going to stop me from continuing to fail into the future.
00:03:23.100 Like, again, I probably am probably like a lot of other people.
00:03:26.360 I beg him to give up.
00:03:28.660 I don't care.
00:03:29.720 If he did less, he would be doing better.
00:03:32.520 Canada is a far more stable country every time he decides to go on vacation.
00:03:37.080 Because at least he's not meddling with things.
00:03:39.320 And even then, again, as someone who really cares about political strategy and good political communications, I'm very conservative.
00:03:47.320 I'm literally running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:03:51.340 Vote for me if you live in that riding.
00:03:52.700 I guarantee a bunch of you do live in that riding.
00:03:54.800 I have a lot of views.
00:03:55.540 Out of 338 ridings, a bunch of you do live in Calgary Signal Hill.
00:03:59.660 Anyways, 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.
00:04:09.380 So that's why I'm sticking around.
00:04:10.820 At least imply that you're like most of the way there.
00:04:13.880 That were 85% of the way to making life a thousand times better, like I promised back in 2015.
00:04:19.280 What 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.
00:04:31.840 At least imply that you've been doing a good job.
00:04:34.340 Justin 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.
00:04:42.600 But 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.
00:04:52.540 But 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.
00:04:59.420 But don't worry, we're going to do the policies more, like an interviewer comes out, like, are you going to do better policies?
00:05:06.900 Are you going to, you know, maybe get rid of the carbon tax, do things, make it more affordable?
00:05:10.600 No, no, no, the carbon tax is very important.
00:05:13.300 We're going to increase it.
00:05:14.900 We're going to increase taxes.
00:05:16.100 Any policy we had, no matter how hard it failed, we're going to double that policy.
00:05:20.360 We're going to do the policy more.
00:05:21.860 And 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.
00:05:29.980 Everything in Canada becomes utopia.
00:05:32.100 And this is kind of the progressive mindset, as satirical as I'm being.
00:05:35.220 They truly do believe that just taxes aren't high enough.
00:05:38.760 We haven't taxed rich people enough to redistribute the wealth to make everyone, to get us to cyber communism or whatever.
00:05:46.140 We haven't done it enough to get us to the post-apocalyptic utopia that they want.
00:05:50.700 If 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.
00:05:59.720 Not 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.
00:06:12.960 I don't want to go too far down that rabbit hole, but I love moments like this,
00:06:16.600 where it seems like Trudeau just doesn't actually understand how he comes across to normal people.
00:06:23.860 I think Trudeau is actually kind of good at marketing.
00:06:26.280 In 2015, I definitely didn't vote for him.
00:06:28.140 I thought he was a phony.
00:06:29.100 I knew he was like a closet socialist.
00:06:31.680 At 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.
00:06:40.140 These 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.
00:06:50.520 He should have been able to win a majority government against Aaron O'Toole. 0.76
00:06:53.260 Aaron O'Toole is that incompetent.
00:06:54.880 But 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.
00:07:05.720 The Titanic, these days, is a fantastic analogy for Canada.
00:07:10.920 The 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.
00:07:26.220 Because 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.
00:07:38.840 That's what happened to the Mulroney conservatives when they didn't leave office, when they clearly had failed.
00:07:43.720 That's what happened to social credit.
00:07:44.880 And that's what had happened to the Liberal Party in the past, when they had gone very sort of like managerial socialist left.
00:07:53.100 It's happened in other countries too.
00:07:54.280 It doesn't matter.
00:07:54.940 But when you hang on in office, that's when people resent you.
00:07:57.800 Way 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.
00:08:07.560 All you had were the same plans, just at different volumes.
00:08:11.260 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:08:13.160 Just a quick shameless plug, I have my Give, Send, Go fundraiser linked in the description below. 0.92
00:08:18.880 Being sued by a billionaire, I'm $25,000 deep in the dumbest defamation suit ever, the dumbest one I've ever been in. 0.90
00:08:26.500 Yes, I've been in multiple. 1.00
00:08:27.500 They've all been dumb. 1.00
00:08:28.240 Most of the people who tried to sue us ran away after their case was proven to be completely stupid. 1.00
00:08:32.680 This one's been dragging out because he has enough money to drag it out. 0.84
00:08:35.540 So if you want to contribute $5, $10, $15, anything more you can, really helps pay for all my costs,
00:08:41.320 keeps me being able to actually put more money towards growing the channel, growing the show, getting more, you know,
00:08:47.360 actually being able to do more videos rather than trying to have to earn money here and there.
00:08:51.960 I can focus more on this.
00:08:53.360 Anyways, other than that, I'm also running, of course, for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:08:58.040 If this video has 1,000 views, I usually get more than 1,000 views, but even if it only has 1,000 views,
00:09:03.560 at least three or four of you probably live in the riding.
00:09:06.580 So check which riding you live in.
00:09:08.020 It's important, even if you don't even live in Calgary, check which riding you live in.
00:09:12.000 It's important you get more acquainted with what's going on locally, what nomination races are coming up,
00:09:17.700 who's your MP, whose candidates to replace them.
00:09:20.460 Do you want to be a candidate?
00:09:22.080 Knowledge is power.
00:09:22.920 Make sure you know which riding you live in.
00:09:25.100 So if you live in Calgary Signal Hill, my riding, buy a Conservative Party membership and consider voting for me,
00:09:30.180 number one.
00:09:30.760 It's a ranked ballot system.
00:09:32.160 You can also go to my website.
00:09:33.400 I link it in the description below.
00:09:35.040 Send me an email.
00:09:36.140 I'll, you know, talk to you, you know, answer questions about my policies and whatnot.
00:09:40.720 Go to the Facebook page, White Claypool, Calgary Signal Hill.
00:09:43.500 This is going on a bit long for these shameless plugs.
00:09:46.120 I'm deeply sorry.
00:09:47.760 Anyways, other than that, I should be here tomorrow with another video,
00:09:51.340 or I might even do a live stream tonight.
00:09:53.020 Who knows?
00:09:53.960 But I guess you'll just have to stay tuned and see what happens.
00:09:57.020 Have a great day, everyone.
