The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Justin Trudeau melts down during press conference

00:00:00.000 I saw this absolutely golden clip today of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having a complete meltdown

00:00:05.440 during a press conference in Edmonton in the aftermath of Pierre Polyev saying that women's

00:00:10.760 spaces should be for biological women. I didn't include it in that video where I talked about 1.00

00:00:16.240 Pierre Polyev's announcement because this should be broken down by itself. I'm not going to belabor

00:00:21.120 it too much. I'll commentate throughout it, but I want to get to the clip right away. But quickly

00:00:25.600 first, notice how when the journalist asking Trudeau this question, when he asks it, he asks

00:00:31.520 it in such a way to basically imply that Pierre Polyev is a bad person by saying that Polyev is

00:00:35.500 going after transgender children. When Polyev's answer literally had nothing to do with kids at

00:00:40.240 all, he was just talking about women's spaces should be for biological women. But because so 0.63

00:00:44.820 many of our legacy media journalists are super left wing, they end up reframing every single

00:00:50.500 position conservatives take into a conservatives going after vulnerable group kind of a narrative.

00:00:55.600 Anyways, here we go.

00:00:57.600 Pierre Polyev specifically said that children born biologically male should be banned from

00:01:02.720 female washrooms, changing rooms, sports. Do you think your government has done enough to 0.90

00:01:09.440 protect trans rights?

00:01:10.480 I think the question was literally, have you done enough to protect the ability for transgender

00:01:18.560 women, biological men to go into women's spaces? That's a ridiculous question. He has framed the 0.99

00:01:24.560 question in such a way that it is effectively just assumed that whatever Pierre Polyev did was nasty.

00:01:30.480 And Trudeau, have you been a progressive enough champion to stop bigots like Polyev from saying the

00:01:38.080 sorts of things that he has said? Ridiculous. But here, let's get to Justin Trudeau, who is thinking very 0.99

00:01:43.360 deeply about the sort of persona he wants to put on for this question, this answer, because Justin Trudeau is always acting.

00:01:55.200 I think Mr. Polyev and politicians like him

00:01:59.360 are choosing to attack some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

00:02:05.280 How do you attack them?

00:02:07.280 As a way of deflecting from the fact that they're very good at creating division and anger and creating

00:02:15.920 political toxicity and driving wedge issues. But so far they have been terrible at putting forward any

00:02:23.280 concrete solutions for the big problems that people that all Canadians are facing in their daily lives.

00:02:30.960 Justin Trudeau just doesn't think that Conservatives put forward concrete solutions,

00:02:34.720 because Justin Trudeau only acknowledges something as a solution if it is a big government solution.

00:02:39.840 If it increases government size and spending, then it is a good solution. Polyev and the Conservatives

00:02:45.520 want to reduce government spending. They want to reduce regulations, taxation,

00:02:49.840 all this stuff. They want to get rid of censorship policies. That is their solutions to making

00:02:54.000 Canadian society better. But a big government hyper progressive like Trudeau doesn't acknowledge

00:02:58.720 any of that. And again, he's saying they're attacking the most vulnerable in society to deflect

00:03:04.000 from the fact that they are good at dividing people, but they're not good at coming up with real

00:03:08.880 solutions. Aren't you the man who keeps saying that I don't want to have to sit next to someone on a

00:03:14.000 train if they're unvaccinated, that these people are racist and sexist, that they disagree with me?

00:03:18.480 He literally has just been implying already during his answer that Pierre Polyev is like 0.87

00:03:22.960 a transphobic homophobic bigot with no evidence. Polyev wants to protect women's sports and Trudeau

00:03:28.480 thinks that that is bigotry, which in and of itself is just bigotry against women to think that 1.00

00:03:32.880 protecting women's sports for biological women only is somehow bigotry. It's insane. 0.99

00:03:40.640 They're quick with slogans and buzzwords and culture wars.

00:03:45.920 All liberals don't do that. But they're not doing the work of actually rolling up their sleeves

00:03:51.920 and delivering. 330 housing units here is not that many houses delivered next year

00:04:00.000 in this summer, including over 60% of them deeply for 50% of them afforded that that a little tongue

00:04:07.520 tie their prime minister. But a hundred 380 houses is not that much in the city of Calgary. I know he did

00:04:13.440 this in Edmonton, but in the city of Calgary, they also just did the stupid announcement with our 1.00

00:04:18.400 terrible mayor, Jody Goddick. We're building a hundred new units for whatever group. It doesn't 0.99

00:04:23.680 really matter. We need about 20,000 units to be built in order to actually make up for the shortage

00:04:30.160 of housing that we have. The big government, the solutions Justin Trudeau has is throwing billions of

00:04:35.600 dollars at these municipalities to get them to build slightly more homes when we need hundreds of

00:04:41.360 thousands of homes, if not a million homes built across the country to make up for the shortfall

00:04:46.640 that we have. Anyways, I'll let them keep going and make a fool of themselves. 0.91

00:04:49.520 Billions of dollars in investment in childcare that provinces like Alberta are not delivering

00:04:59.520 properly to Albertan families.

00:05:01.600 You're $10 a day childcare plan sucks so bad that we literally had daycares in Calgary saying we're

00:05:06.800 just not going to open because the compensation is horrible for it, that we cannot actually get 0.91

00:05:11.840 properly compensated through this strategy. And now he's blaming the province of Alberta for not

00:05:16.480 kicking in even more money to save his bloated, terrible childcare plan.

00:05:22.880 Because of ideology.

00:05:24.560 Oh yeah. Ideology didn't make the math.

00:05:26.480 We're stepping up on the fight against climate change to draw in global investment.

00:05:31.120 How does that work?

00:05:31.680 Here in Alberta for years, I've been pointing out that Alberta is the number one place in the country

00:05:39.680 for green investments, for investments into renewables, for innovation in the future.

00:05:45.840 He says it's the number one place because he sees it as the place that needs to lose all of the oil and gas

00:05:51.760 jobs. He sees it as a place that he could burn to the ground and create a new utopia

00:05:56.240 on top of. He's making the sound like he's a compliment towards Alberta. He thinks Alberta

00:06:00.400 is a horrible, nasty place that he has to fix. That's why he sees it as the number one place

00:06:06.000 for green job growth. And again, where's the green job investment, man? I thought we were going to be

00:06:11.280 popping off in the terms of the solar and wind industry or not, because it's not a real industry.

00:06:16.080 It's a subsidy industry.

00:06:17.440 Of how we're going to power our country and our world in a net zero economy.

00:06:21.680 Well, yes.

00:06:22.400 Well, what does the Alberta government do? Oh, it puts a pause on renewables.

00:06:27.680 Yes, because on our grid, we buy natural gas for about six or seven cents a kilowatt hour. 0.94

00:06:32.800 The Alberta government, because of stupid agreements the NDP had made, was buying solar 0.94

00:06:37.520 and wind for like 45 cents a kilowatt hour or a little bit less than or so. But it was crazy 0.99

00:06:42.720 expensive. That's why our power bills shot up, because we got rid of coal and we replaced it with

00:06:46.800 something that the Alberta government was paying out way too much money for. So now they put a pause

00:06:51.760 on it so we can actually lower the cost of our energy.

00:06:54.480 Talking to the Alberta Business Council just last fall, who were up in arms about it, rightly,

00:07:00.720 because what kind of signal does that send to investors?

00:07:03.680 Nobody's up in arms about it.

00:07:04.880 What kind of signal does that send to Albertans who know that providing energy in a net zero world

00:07:11.600 will provide incredible jobs for Albertans?

00:07:15.600 Yeah, jobs have never manifested, but don't worry, they'll be incredible. Also, I like natural gas and

00:07:22.080 oil because it kept us from like freezing to death here in Calgary when it was negative 35 out.

00:07:28.160 The solar and wind farms were generating approximately a goose egg of energy during that time.

00:07:34.240 If we had more heavily transitioned to it, we'd probably have deaths from the grid failing.

00:07:40.160 If you work in construction, if you work in the oil sector, you can also work in the hydrogen sector,

00:07:46.480 you can work in the nuclear sector, you can work in the carbon capture utilization and storage.

00:07:52.400 These are good skilled jobs that Albertans are already doing that they will be able to do as long

00:07:57.760 as we make sure the capital is flowing in those areas.

00:08:00.880 Remember when this whole answer started off about the whole biological women thing? Even Trudeau

00:08:06.640 moved on from that as fast as possible because it is a losing issue to say that

00:08:10.080 women's spaces should not actually be for women. 1.00

00:08:12.080 But these are all real issues with real solutions that we're working on.

00:08:18.320 And people like Pierre Polyev would rather pick a fight with trans kids.

00:08:22.960 Oh, he's he's crapping all over our plans that haven't worked for nine years. He's crapping all 0.98

00:08:28.240 over them. I wish he would just pitch in, roll up his sleeves like I do. And I wish he would just

00:08:33.440 come in and help me out. Just grab a cup of coffee, slap me on the shoulder and say, Justin Trudeau,

00:08:38.400 you're doing a great job. Doesn't matter if people are going bankrupt. Doesn't matter if you keep

00:08:41.760 censoring people. Doesn't matter if people can't afford groceries. You're doing a great job. But I'm here to

00:08:46.160 pitch in like the I hate this type of propaganda politicians do. And let's be clear, every party

00:08:51.520 does it when they're in office. Why doesn't the opposition pitch in and help? Because it's their

00:08:56.400 job to oppose. I don't know how I have to explain this to so many people. Like, why do I have to

00:09:02.720 explain this to Justin Trudeau? I guess it's because he's stupid. But still, you've been in politics for 1.00

00:09:07.600 like, however many years when you were in opposition, were you making suggestions to Stephen Harper back

00:09:12.720 in 13 and 14 on what he could do to help drive the economy for it? Nah, you just criticized him,

00:09:18.000 because that's literally your job. And it's not your fault for doing that. It's not leadership.

00:09:23.680 And that's not a game I'm going to play with them. Yes, we're going to make sure we're doing

00:09:27.120 everything we can to protect vulnerable people in this country, because that's what Canadians expect.

00:09:31.520 Yes, we are protecting them by banning speech I don't like online. Not going to get dragged into

00:09:37.200 culture wars about this. When the fact is Canadians expect their governments to roll up their sleeves

00:09:44.480 and deliver for them. And that's what we're doing. I'll ask it again, sir. What can or what is your

00:09:50.560 government doing to protect the rights of trans kids now and in the future? I was sitting down with

00:09:55.760 a number of doctors from the Canadian Medical Association. I think one of the things we should all

00:10:01.760 do in difficult issues is rely on experts. Rely on science, on researchers, on people.

00:10:10.720 Well, the experts in Scandinavian countries and in Europe and Britain and in the US are going away

00:10:17.840 from all of the sort of hormone blockers being given to children. They are going away from the gender 0.99

00:10:23.760 theory stuff because it was toxic to kids and it wasn't working and it was bad for parental rights.

00:10:28.880 People who actually work with vulnerable kids. People who sit down with families to talk through

00:10:35.840 extremely difficult decisions and rely on them to depoliticize issues and look at what is in the

00:10:43.680 best interest of Canadians, of communities, of individuals. Imagine how disgusting that is.

00:10:50.320 Justin Trudeau's actual, you know, recommendation for what you should do if you have a difficult

00:10:56.080 situation in your family. Bring in an expert. Don't be a parent. Don't parent your kids. Bring

00:11:01.200 in an expert. Have them tell you what you should be doing because they have the expertise and they

00:11:05.440 can depoliticize the issue. No, no, do not do that. That's a stupid person thing to do. Actually,

00:11:11.600 maybe parent your kids and don't let the government tell you what to do. Raise your kid to be a happy,

00:11:16.080 healthy and responsible adult on your own. And if you need to bring in an expert, that's probably a good

00:11:21.520 sign that you probably shouldn't be parenting your kids. Obviously, bring in an expert in terms of

00:11:26.480 surgical decisions you have to make if your kid's sick. Obviously, that's a good time. But when it

00:11:31.520 comes to decisions that you should be able to make as a parent, just basic decisions on how your kids

00:11:36.800 should grow up, if you need to bring in an expert, you're in trouble.

00:11:40.000 Relying on our service and health professionals to make decisions about how to best protect people

00:11:50.080 is, I think, something that this government will always stand for and highlight that more

00:11:55.280 governments should be doing rather than picking fights with vulnerable people.

00:12:00.160 I just want to back it up. Imagine being those three people in the background there who had to

00:12:05.680 stand there the entire time while Justin Trudeau was talking. Even they're like glancing around,

00:12:11.040 looking at their shoes, like kind of trying to talk to each other when they were probably meant

00:12:14.400 to stand there. Like they're here with Justin Trudeau. They stand with him. Imagine you probably get

00:12:20.400 paid like triple overtime if you have to stand behind Justin Trudeau at a press conference. That's

00:12:25.440 bad for your health and bad for your mental health. Okay, woof. Crazy times, crazy stuff.

00:12:32.320 Anyways, that should be it for me today. I will quickly plug the fact that I, Wyatt Claypool,

00:12:36.560 am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination. This is what the riding looks

00:12:40.720 like. It's on the west side of Calgary. If you generally live in these riding boundaries,

00:12:45.120 go to my website, WyattClaypool.com, buy a Conservative Party membership and vote for me in

00:12:49.360 the nomination so we can have a real conservative who lives in the riding actually representing it.

00:12:54.240 And then also, I have my give, send, go link for myself and the National Telegraph's

00:12:58.720 legal fund. Any money you can contribute to it really helps us out. We're being sued by a Chinese 1.00

00:13:05.600 billionaire developer. He's basically suing us for defamation. He's never been able to actually

00:13:10.080 provide any evidence that we defamed him. Our guest writer's article that mentioned him,

00:13:14.880 everything that she said about him that was mentioned was all based on a Globe and Mail article

00:13:20.480 that had been written a year and a half before by Robert Feift and Stephen Chase, some very good

00:13:24.160 investigative journalists. That article is still up because it is accurate. And all we did was mention

00:13:28.560 the article. And so he's suing us because he thought that we couldn't fight back the same

00:13:32.240 way the Globe and Mail could. But we're $25,000 deep in defending ourselves. So anything you contribute

00:13:38.240 really helps take the burden off of us. A lot of people have given money and we're extremely thankful

00:13:42.560 for everything that people have contributed so far. But this thing will keep dragging on and we're not

00:13:47.840 going to give out fake apologies to bullies. We are going to fight back against bullies because if you

00:13:52.400 don't, they come back and keep bullying you. And this guy would do this to someone else. And it's good to

00:13:56.800 set the precedent that Canadian conservative people do not roll over when attacked. Anyways,

00:14:03.200 that should be it for me today. I'll see you guys next time. Hopefully you like these kind of

00:14:06.960 reaction style videos, even if they drag on a little bit. But that was a really fun clip of

00:14:11.600 Justin Trudeau. I like whenever Justin Trudeau has these like freak out moments where he just suddenly

00:14:16.160 gets exasperated because he's down in the polls and doesn't know why people aren't voting for him.

00:14:20.960 And he's just like, we're investing in green energy. Why don't people vote for us? They're

00:14:24.560 they're trying to divide people. They're attacking vulnerable kids. And it's like, guys,

00:14:27.760 dude, this is a terrible look. Your, your comms team should have used the, like the long cane and

00:14:33.040 pulled you off stage during that. It was horrifying. Anyways, that should be it for me today. Finally,

00:14:38.800 have a good one, everyone.

00:14:44.000 you
