Justin Trudeau is having a very bad year, but at least he's not Justin Trudeau. He's Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, and we all know what that means: he's having a hard year. In this episode of The Wyatt Claypool Show, Wyatt talks about it, and gives his thoughts on it.
00:02:35.360Look, these are actually decently funny lines from Mark.
00:02:38.680But you'll notice that as the thing goes on, Trudeau's just unable to actually, like, I guess, vibe with him at all.
00:02:45.020And he just comes off like he wants to do a serious interview this whole time.
00:02:48.140Because I know he was the only one who supplied you with confidence.
00:02:50.600You know, we got good things done together as progressives, and we're going to still try to bring them along on the more progressive things we're doing.
00:03:06.860Then, of course, you had the low point of the year for you.
00:03:10.980Kind of embarrassed all Canadians when you were caught on tape dancing to Taylor Swift.
00:03:16.640Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in Toronto attending a...
00:03:19.040Obviously, they're not actually going to be asking Trudeau serious questions in this.
00:03:23.160But even this, when it goes back to Trudeau, Trudeau cannot pass the ball.
00:03:27.520Every time Mark tries to set him up for, like, something to be funny about, Trudeau immediately just, like, starts talking about, well, you know, that's how politics works.
00:03:53.840Can anyone notice the amount of editing in this interview so far?
00:03:58.500Every time, again, Mark tries desperately to pass the ball to Trudeau.
00:04:02.720Trudeau's, like, fumbling it because he doesn't have the ability to be light or funny.
00:04:07.220Even though Trudeau in 2015 could be charismatic, I didn't like him back in 2015, but there's a reason he won a majority government.
00:04:14.300Here, he's, like, wanting Mark to make all the jokes, and then every time he goes over to Trudeau, he's like, oh, yes, I like Taylor Swift.
00:04:34.460When you were there, Donald Trump said, quite frankly, Canada should become the 51st state, and he'd let you stay on as the governor, which is the best offer you've had in a while.
00:04:44.320Now, should Canada become the 51st state?
00:04:47.140And I'm not against it because at least then we have a chance to win the Stanley Cup again.
00:04:51.440Yeah, there was a lot discussed during those three hours.
00:05:09.760And then even Mark is screwing this up because, like, at a moment where you could actually make jokes at Trudeau's expense and then maybe Trudeau can try and be light and kind of bounce off you a bit, everything goes back to trying to make fun of Trump.
00:05:24.700And, oh, you know, he posted a picture, an AI picture, and it's actually the Swiss Alps, not Canada, that he's looking over with the Canadian flag.
00:05:31.500And, again, throughout this, we're halfway through, basically, and Trudeau still just seems like he's just, like, he is the stiffest interview I've ever seen.
00:05:41.220Mark is trying to be funny, and, like, Trudeau just keeps giving him, like, neutral answers to everything.
00:05:49.040Is that Americans are really bad at geography?
00:05:51.220I think our greatest defense is that we do things together across the border, and anything they do that will hurt us will also hurt them, and that's something that he doesn't want to do.
00:06:14.400And you don't even have to pay him or feed him because Pierre Polyevich is going to go back and forth all day giving him Timbits.
00:06:18.660And so we have American jokes, we have jokes at the Freedom Convoy and conservatives, but it's like, okay, he actually had some good lines off at the start with Trudeau, but, like, you're on the interview with Trudeau.
00:06:30.760Did, like, Trudeau request that you don't make fun of him too much?
00:06:34.780Because this is just boring now, because obviously Trudeau's giving him nothing to work with at all.
00:06:39.480Trudeau's just staring into his soul, trying to make his poll numbers go up by, like, I don't know, making Mark tell people to vote liberal.
00:07:04.240Oh, my goodness, Mark, you're not funny.
00:07:06.780You had one good joke at the start about Jagmeet.
00:07:09.620And we know that 40 years ago, your father famously took a walk in the snow when the Conservatives were up in the polls and decided it was time to give it up.
00:07:51.360Convince Canadians not to believe in themselves, not to believe in the CBC, not to believe in climate change, not believe in gun control, not believe in women's rights.
00:07:58.840I believe Canadians rise to the occasion.
00:08:01.380And I am certainly not going to stop fighting at this moment where it's so important.
00:09:42.620You think they would try and do something slightly self-aware at this moment.
00:09:45.820But no, they're going to try and happy talk their way through everything because Trudeau can only ever project his dominance, that he's on top, that he's doing good things.
00:09:55.700He says, only our liberal team is fighting for you to make life more affordable and build a strong economy.
00:10:04.840And then I want to show you Jagmeet's video because it's very ironic that both of them are the exact same, despite Jagmeet pretending that they're like completely different politicians with different priorities.
00:10:12.9602024 was a year of delivering progress.
00:10:16.180Together, we made investments to build nearly 4 million homes and protect renters.
00:10:23.240That is, I could make declarations from my basement here and it will have more of an impact than Trudeau saying we're going to build 4 million homes because there's no mechanism to let them build those homes.
00:10:35.140And in fact, all their housing plans keep driving down the amount of housing being built.
00:11:27.500I am well on the way to getting to the 100,000 I plan to be at by December of this year.
00:11:32.120But here's Jagmeet Singh, who supposedly is against Trudeau, going to make a video that is basically Trudeau, like Trudeau's video from the NDP's perspective, despite the fact that supposedly the liberals are super corporate.
00:11:45.920The truth is the NDP are very corporate, too.
00:11:49.480Because the thing is that big government people tend to create a lot of corporations to manage things.
00:11:55.060They just don't like private corporations, even though for grocery store chains, as much as Jagmeet Singh attacks them, higher regulations and taxes have been boxing out their competition.
00:12:04.160So even though their profit margins have been going down, their competition has also been going away.
00:12:32.260And again, why is it that he keeps saying that Trudeau betrayed us, even though all these accomplishments that the NDP did were with the help of the liberals?
00:13:46.600A school food program across the country.
00:13:48.960This is to help kids get a nutritious meal at school, help alleviate some of the pressure on the shoulders of families that are struggling with a high cost of groceries.
00:14:01.940Fought back, but we didn't give up because we had people on our side.
00:14:05.780Oh, yeah, no doubt you were in Justin Trudeau's office, like, Brazilian jiu-jitsu wrestling him down and forcing his hand with a pen in it to sign the bill to put forward, like, the lunches for kids.
00:14:19.460These are all things the Liberals literally ran on in the 2021 platform, and he's pretending that he's the one getting it to happen.
00:14:26.340Now we know that working and middle-class families need so much more hope and relief.
00:14:31.520So in 2025, we're going to change everything.
00:15:05.200But the thing is, the things that they value are pretty much the same, except that the NDP wants way more of it than the Liberals do.
00:15:11.900And so we're supposed to assume that all these things were only passed because the NDP were there, or at least the extent of the program wouldn't have been as big unless the NDP were there.
00:15:25.840Everyone thinks that they're bloated and terrible.
00:15:27.960There's a reason why 65% of Canadians think we spend too much money, which is, like, a cataclysmic event in Canada.
00:15:36.020Usually Canadians will just say, yeah, I think we should spend more because it sounds compassionate.
00:15:40.240These days, to a man, basically, everyone's like, yeah, we spend too much.
00:15:43.940Because even with that 65% statistic, it still has, like, 18% who are, like, don't know, who probably are going to side with the majority over time.
00:15:52.300Anyways, that's it for me today, guys.
00:15:54.820Remember to, like, you know, like this video, subscribe, do all that stuff, share it with a friend.
00:15:59.820And I'll see you guys, you know, later, maybe in the same day.
00:16:03.420I always say, and people have pointed out, see you guys tomorrow, or see you guys, like, this is, like, see, like, this is it for me today.
00:16:10.220And then I make, like, another two videos that same day.
