The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal Floor-Crosser GETS CAUGHT in awful press conference!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.400 So, the Liberal Party just did something kind of unexpected. Definitely not smart,

00:00:12.480 but kind of unexpected. They actually had their latest Liberal floor-crosser,

00:00:18.000 Marilyn Gladju, go and address the media at a press scrum. And it didn't go very well,

00:00:24.120 because obviously it wasn't going to go well.

00:00:27.720 It's not like Marilyn Gladjew had a great reason for crossing the floor 1.00

00:00:31.820 and then she was going to go out to the media and explain all of the dirty details

00:00:36.600 and saying bad things about Pierre Polyev and in the process help the Liberal Party.

00:00:41.800 Everyone knows she left for really shallow, petty reasons,

00:00:45.220 so this was only going to make her look worse by doing this.

00:00:49.620 But I won't belabor the intro too much here.

00:00:52.260 We are about to get into the entirety of this short six-minute press conference.

00:00:57.760 But before we do, I just want to remind you guys, if you like the channel, make sure to leave a like on the video.

00:01:02.800 If you're on the YouTube mobile app, make sure to hype the video.

00:01:05.860 You can do that two, three videos a week on YouTube.

00:01:08.760 Make sure to leave a comment.

00:01:12.320 And if you like what I do, consider hitting the join button below the video and making a small contribution per month on YouTube.

00:01:19.360 It helps to make the channel more sustainable for me.

00:01:22.260 and allows me to be less reliant on the very fickle YouTube algorithm.

00:01:26.880 But without further ado, let's go through this press conference beat by beat.

00:01:33.160 It is a total disaster from start to finish.

00:01:38.240 Hello. Good evening. Bonsoir.

00:01:41.300 I'm super excited to be here at my first liberal convention.

00:01:45.600 Feeling the energy in the room, watching a whole 5,000 people that are here

00:01:51.340 that want to build Canada strong.

00:01:54.200 I am so proud to be part of the Prime Minister's new government

00:01:57.920 and to advance the priorities that he has been fast-tracking,

00:02:02.900 nation-building projects, diversifying our trade,

00:02:06.380 combating crime, building the homes,

00:02:09.980 bolstering our defence, all of the things that Canadians want,

00:02:13.560 all of the things that my constituents want.

00:02:16.400 And so I am pleased to be here.

00:02:18.580 I'm looking forward to working together with the team

00:02:21.300 to build Canada strong.

00:02:24.480 So she's about to go into the questions,

00:02:26.500 and this is where all the wheels fall off the wagon.

00:02:29.400 Now, half the wheels are already off 0.84

00:02:31.560 because as soon as she goes into that press conference, 0.99

00:02:34.220 she's clearly just basically citing empty talking points.

00:02:38.740 Oh, he wants to build homes.

00:02:40.640 He wants to stop crime.

00:02:43.020 He's building like a unified team

00:02:45.680 to take on the issues that my constituents care about,

00:02:48.300 just kind of like boilerplate stuff like that.

00:02:50.600 if we actually went through all those areas of public policy, she thinks that Carney has like

00:02:56.260 a great vision on, we can show that over the first year that he's been prime minister, all these

00:03:00.840 things have pretty much gotten worse. I can give him some points on immigration. But even then,

00:03:05.700 it's like eventually someone was going to lower immigration rates because of just how

00:03:09.400 screamingly high they were under Justin Trudeau. Even now, they're still way too high. And we

00:03:13.900 should probably not just half them again, we should probably have a third of what we are

00:03:18.920 currently bringing in less than 100,000 new permanent resins per year. But let's get to

00:03:23.260 now the questions. So far, it's just generic, not inspiring, just kind of, you know, what you'd

00:03:30.360 assume she would say to try and justify crossing when she doesn't have a good reason. So let's get

00:03:35.680 to the questions. We're going to get to the cut through the French. 1.00

00:03:48.920 from being pro-life for years so one of the reporters just asked so you have changed from

00:03:55.640 being pro-life to pro-choice you've been pro-life for a long time and now suddenly as you're

00:04:00.920 crossing the floor you're pro-choice now you've gone from you know uh anti-abortion to pro-abortion

00:04:08.040 here is her answer so so for people in canada i have been consistent and when i said that women

00:04:16.600 need to have the right to choose i obviously have my long-faced traditions

00:04:20.840 but uh you know i'm ready to support the rights of women in this country 1.00

00:04:29.320 i probably don't need to tell you that that's not true she she didn't used to be pro-choice when 0.94

00:04:34.520 she was a conservative in fact she was endorsed by the she was endorsed by the campaign life 0.98

00:04:41.400 coalition she was endorsed by the very anti-abortion campaign life coalition and good for her back then

00:04:48.280 i'm pro-life too that's a good thing but she started telling newspapers right after she crossed

00:04:53.780 well no no i've always been a progressive oh yeah no no i'm not against conversion therapy that's

00:04:58.640 going to be coming up uh later on well i've always been against it even though the definition that

00:05:03.340 liberals put out is basically if you disagree with gender theory you're in favor of conversion

00:05:08.220 therapy. This MP, Marilyn Gladju, literally ran a petition against the conversion therapy ban,

00:05:15.380 and good for her back then. It was bad policy, and she opposed it. But suddenly, actually, 1.00

00:05:20.220 if you twisted your head and squinted really hard, and were also on hallucinogenic drugs,

00:05:26.780 you would have known that I was always a big progressive, and I was just fibbing the entire

00:05:31.220 time. Here's another, let's keep going through the press conference, and if I skip all the French

00:05:36.980 bits apologies if it's a little clunky so here's the next english question about her constituents

00:05:53.140 so this reporter is asking 53 of your constituents because she got 53 of the vote in 2025

00:06:01.380 they wanted pure paulia to be prime minister so why are you now making the executive decision

00:06:06.980 that the prime minister should be Mark Carney, and you should give him a majority government.

00:06:11.840 Don't you think he is that leader?

00:06:13.760 Well, what I heard starting even after the election was that people,

00:06:17.740 they were upset that Pierre lost his riding, lost the election.

00:06:21.960 They were not confident that he could regain that.

00:06:24.400 And they've started to say, I really like this Mark Carney guy.

00:06:28.300 I like what he's saying. Do you think he'll do what he says he's going to do?

00:06:32.180 As the time will tell, here we are. We're starting to see all the projects.

00:06:35.480 he said he was gonna start get created he's buying f-35s he's working on you know he's buying f-35s

00:06:43.880 yeah we we apparently can give mark carney credit for just continuing to sluggishly acquire uh new

00:06:50.920 weapons and and like armaments and planes uh when that justin trudeau started this is all stuff

00:06:58.600 that's been extremely sluggish and of course mark carney was eventually finally going to get

00:07:04.520 the new jet aircraft. This has been like 10 years in the making, taking absolutely forever. That's

00:07:10.600 one thing that Carney has been able to inherit from Trudeau. Trudeau's progress on so many things

00:07:16.180 was so slow that Carney is now being able to take credit for things that are getting done

00:07:21.100 that, in fact, Trudeau did. Trudeau just did it so late that Carney happened to step into the

00:07:26.940 prime minister's office right when the unveilings were happening on certain things. But no, he's not

00:07:31.680 been better for development or major projects or anything. The major projects office is a complete

00:07:36.820 joke, but again, she's just going to cite boilerplate liberal talking points as if it's

00:07:43.720 literally true because Carney has said he wants to build homes, ergo he has built homes.

00:07:49.700 And again, what constituents told her that they love this Mark Carney guy? If that's a common

00:07:55.680 belief in her riding it should be really easy for her to go to a by-election and prove that this is 0.95

00:08:01.920 what the people want and they're going to ask her about by-elections in just a second here because

00:08:06.960 you might know that she supported legislation to change the elections act to make an automatic

00:08:13.440 by-election get triggered if you try and cross the floor bills to combat crime so uh people even

00:08:19.920 long-term conservative supporters in my writing who said uh you know we really think that he's

00:08:26.400 the guy from the moment so so if even the long-term conservatives think this

00:08:32.880 it should be so easy to have a by-election and win it try it why not

00:08:49.920 the liberal government was not on track to form a majority is this about opportunity

00:08:54.720 so that a reporter asks maryland glad you are you only crossing now because he looks like he's on the

00:08:59.440 verge of a majority government would you have done the same thing if he was not close to a majority

00:09:05.040 is this just opportunism basically um this is actually the best thing for my riding for the

00:09:10.480 country and for myself um if we think about uh sarnia lambton but kejwanong we were a bellwether

00:09:16.560 riding for 52 years before i got elected so that means that they always had the advantage of

00:09:21.280 government support and after 10 years and four elections arguably even my strong conservative

00:09:28.480 supporters are saying to me look you know we like you you've worked hard but we really need

00:09:33.760 to have that support we need affordable housing we have infrastructure needs that are right

00:09:40.160 if is she just admitting to like open corruption there like one it's not you as the mp to decide

00:09:46.560 that really my riding should always be part of the government we were part of the government for

00:09:51.040 52 years uh up until i was elected in 20 in 2015 and then we became an opposition represented

00:09:58.880 uh riding and there are these vague long time conservatives in my riding who said oh no it's

00:10:05.760 we need to be able to to get the support of the government we need these major housing projects

00:10:11.360 in our area. Is she admitting that she's only crossing because the Liberals would not maybe

00:10:16.960 target an affordable housing project to her area if she didn't cross? That's just admitting that

00:10:23.620 Mark Carney is engaged in massive corruption, that you're only going to target the projects

00:10:29.580 that the government is spending billions of dollars on into ridings that the Liberals are

00:10:34.380 either looking to win or they already hold. What? That's called graft. That is basically only

00:10:41.060 rewarding those people who vote for you and probably friends of the liberal party with

00:10:47.300 money if they vote you into office what the heck like i don't think she should be admitting to this

00:10:52.980 so this other english reporter asks her about again her stances on social issues and how if

00:11:12.660 she's going to be able to work inside the liberal party having been an outspoken social and cultural

00:11:17.380 conservative before and now working for a progressive metropolitan party i agree with

00:11:24.180 what the prime minister said i will vote with the government i will protect the rights and freedoms

00:11:27.860 of women to choose for people to be who they are and love who they love

00:11:31.620 You've said before that MPs cross the floor, they should run a by-election. 0.59

00:11:40.400 So when do you intend to resign your seat and run a by-election?

00:11:44.460 So right there, that reporter got to the real money question.

00:11:49.540 You have said that MPs who cross the floor should automatically go to a by-election

00:11:55.200 to prove if this floor crossing is actually popular with local constituents.

00:11:59.800 she even praised and we'll get to those posts later she praised a conservative mp for exposing

00:12:06.400 the fact that the liberals tried to recruit him and he rejected them and she said it was a great

00:12:11.140 great act of principle so this this journal is just saying well you are even someone who called

00:12:16.400 for changes to be made to the elections act to stop people like yourself from just crossing the

00:12:21.360 floor without consequence now here is her answer well i also said that you know when do you intend

00:12:26.680 to resign your suit and run a by-election. Well, I also said that in order for that to happen,

00:12:31.900 the Elections Act has to be changed. And the Elections Act has to be changed to make sure

00:12:36.320 that people will have to either sit as, you know, independents or call a by-election. That law has

00:12:42.120 not been changed. And so when it does, I would be happy to do that. So do you, do you realize what

00:12:49.020 she just said there? That is the most asinine thing I've ever heard somebody say in my entire 0.98

00:12:54.600 life. They ask her, so you are somebody who said that people should be automatically going to buy 0.99

00:13:01.460 elections if they try and cross the floor. She proposed that, or she backed legislative changes

00:13:07.660 to that effect. And then she crosses the floor herself. And then her justification for why it's 1.00

00:13:14.200 okay is like, well, I support those changes to be made, but they haven't been made yet. I'm like,

00:13:19.380 well yeah but you backing those changes kind of implies a principle that you think it's wrong for

00:13:25.700 people to do that and that they shouldn't and that they should have to face voters if they try

00:13:29.840 like i made i i need to bring up this quickly before we go back to that clip because like i

00:13:36.740 i just made a joke post about this right before i started recording this video and i just want to

00:13:42.040 read exactly what i wrote just a bit ago here so my interpretation of this my parody version of it

00:13:48.940 was, well, you see, back when I said that, I was pretending to be one thing and I'm pretending to

00:13:54.380 be another thing now. I like her actual answer is no better than that. She actually just claimed

00:14:00.020 that she called for the change to be made to the Elections Act to trigger automatic by-elections

00:14:04.400 when a floor crossing happens, but the change hasn't been made yet, so she is still allowed

00:14:08.880 to do it with no consequences. It's like calling for anti-corruption legislation and then engaging

00:14:14.700 in the exact sort of corruption, getting caught, then saying, well, this is why I said we need the 0.99

00:14:19.820 anti-corruption legislation to stop scumbags like myself. Like, that is, of course, I agree with 0.98

00:14:26.480 myself here. Like, that is exactly what she's doing. Well, yeah, of course, we need these

00:14:31.260 changes to the Elections Act. We need to stop flip-flopping hack politicians like myself from

00:14:36.340 doing what I just did. No self-awareness. This is where you understand that this is all just

00:14:44.340 for her ego. She crossed the floor because she wanted the headlines. She wasn't getting enough

00:14:49.800 attention inside the Conservative Party. You know, a baby was crying and people weren't coming and

00:14:55.560 giving her attention. And no, she's changing teams and changing all of her views, apparently, 0.98

00:15:01.280 at the same time. So let's get back into this thing.

00:15:04.360 Did you ask the Prime Minister to get that law changed so that you could run into by-election?

00:15:08.920 I've had many discussions with the Prime Minister, but what I'm hearing is...

00:15:12.400 So the reporter asks her, well, if you want the law changed so that you would be forced

00:15:18.240 to go to a by-election and prove yourself, have you asked the prime minister to make

00:15:21.780 that change?

00:15:22.840 Well, I've had a lot of conversations with him.

00:15:26.240 That wasn't the question.

00:15:27.060 The question was, did you actually stick by the principle that you had loudly declared

00:15:33.000 that you were in line with and, you know, tell Mark Carney to do that?

00:15:38.540 She doesn't need to be told.

00:15:40.860 She doesn't even need to tell Mark Carney to do that. She can just trigger the by-election

00:15:45.260 herself. She can just step down, resign, and tell Mark Carney to reappoint her as the liberal

00:15:50.460 candidate and then take on all of those out-of-touch conservatives who don't realize all of her

00:15:55.340 hardcore previous conservative voters are now all liberals. It's almost like she's just doing this

00:16:01.040 right before she retires. She's just doing this as her last hurrah on the way out to try and pretend

00:16:05.860 like she won in life in some way. From people that are saying, look, this is a critical moment

00:16:10.520 for our country and we need to get building those nation building projects and we need to

00:16:15.080 diversify our trade you need i hate answers like this but we're going to go back and listen to it

00:16:19.720 again because i kind of find it funny at the same time but what i'm hearing is from people that are

00:16:25.240 saying look this is a critical moment for our country and we need to get building those nation

00:16:29.480 building projects and we need to diversify our trade we need to address these these tariffs that

00:16:34.520 are unjustified in the u.s and so i'm going to be working with the prime minister and the new

00:16:39.240 liberal team to address those apparently all the people she talks to in her riding speak like

00:16:46.200 liberal press releases you know maryland we want you to cross the floor because well there's this

00:16:52.440 guy out there called mark carian and he decided one day well we're gonna we're gonna build a

00:16:58.040 stronger more unified canon get those nation building projects done so maryland will you

00:17:03.720 screw over the 53 percent of people who voted for you including myself and cross that floor because

00:17:09.880 don't you know that mark carney wants to build one strong canadian economy unlike that pierre

00:17:15.080 polly of guy who wants to sell out the country to donald trump and probably you know get rid of

00:17:20.760 all the the flavors of energy drinks so then we're just stuck with generic electrolytes or whatever

00:17:25.800 evil things that we can construct that paulia wants to he's all he's gonna make his only drink

00:17:30.440 decaf we needed to cross the floor glad you like what what uh well i i talked to like the most

00:17:37.880 generic person ever and they told me to cross the floor because mark carney vaguely inspires them

00:17:48.440 i oppose conversion therapy i always did i oppose conversion therapy i always did that's why i ran

00:17:55.880 a petition opposing the conversion therapy ban. Again, it's not actually a conversion therapy

00:18:01.440 ban. It's basically saying that you cannot oppose gender theory. If your eight-year-old has their

00:18:07.560 head full of nonsense from a teacher at school and says that they're a boy and they say that

00:18:12.300 they're a girl now or they're a girl and they say they're a boy now, if you oppose that, that would 0.94

00:18:15.820 be considered gender conversion therapy. That's why back in the day, Gladju rightfully opposed it

00:18:21.800 and had a petition that she ran against it but now she always opposed it guys she always opposed 0.81

00:18:27.320 people disagreeing with gender theory that's always what she wanted guys you don't understand

00:18:32.840 the first uh bill that came out uh had freedom of expression issues once they fixed that it was it

00:18:38.760 was uh the party i was with at the time that passed the unanimous consent motion to see that

00:18:42.920 pass so 100 of people are against conversion therapy myself so she's claiming because that

00:18:49.560 is correct that there was a previous version of that same bill called bill c6 it was later bill

00:18:54.600 c4 the four version got passed and pretty much all the conservatives voted for i think 100 of them

00:18:59.560 did that's because erin o'toole forced them to vote for it she and a lot of other conservatives

00:19:04.840 voted against the bill c6 version of it but the thing is that she's wrong to say that well you

00:19:10.840 know i voted for the c4 version because they cleaned up the issues they didn't in fact people

00:19:15.720 like glad you and other conservative mps were in fact ticked at erin o'toole and later threw him

00:19:23.080 out in part because of how he would whip votes in favor of insane liberal social policy she was

00:19:29.640 one of the outspoken people one of the grumblers at the time rightfully so because of that but now

00:19:35.320 she's just changing history to say why voted for it didn't i see i'm a bona fide progressive it's

00:19:40.440 It's like, oh my goodness, she used to be a really good MP, but apparently it was all an act.

00:19:45.680 It was just performance art to her because she's an attention seeker. 0.99

00:19:49.000 I like this question, too, because I like how it just goes straight at just her stupid talking points about, oh, I talked to my constituents. 1.00

00:20:19.000 they talked to her constituents too. They asked the first people they had on the ground were 0.99

00:20:23.280 immediately saying that this, she's a turncoat, she's betraying us. And it's so presumptuous just

00:20:28.480 to say, yes, I did get 53% of the vote as a conservative. And let's be clear, if she ran

00:20:33.620 as an independent or ran under another party, she probably would lose because although she's quite

00:20:38.060 good, and maybe she could even do pretty good as an independent, at the end of the day, they wanted

00:20:42.840 a conservative in for the agenda of Kyrpolyev. They didn't vote for the liberal because they

00:20:49.260 didn't want the liberal. Probably a nice guy or nice lady that she was running against, 1.00

00:20:53.960 at least on paper. And they didn't vote for them. So why does she now get to take over on the

00:20:59.580 majority of people, not even a plurality, a majority that voted for her and say, they actually 0.97

00:21:04.660 all wanted the central banker. They all wanted that guy. Even though other ridings, the liberals

00:21:10.020 did win the most seats so you could say it was the default or at least the plurality choice for most

00:21:15.060 canadians was liberal and her writing specifically didn't do that and she's like no no no no they

00:21:21.140 just got the quiz question wrong they actually do want him or at least i'm going to force them to

00:21:25.140 have him so now this is marilyn glad you're responding to this journalist question well

00:21:30.020 uh you know all i can say is that i've been listening to my constituents since last summer

00:21:34.900 and this is what my constituents are saying this is what they want and certainly it's going to be

00:21:39.540 good for the riding we're going to receive the support we need it's going to be good for the

00:21:43.300 country i have experience to help build it and it's good for me personally as well thank you

00:21:54.260 and then she sprints away after that one because that question was probably a little too close to

00:21:58.020 home for her i guarantee you some point someone's going to do a sarnia lambton survey they're just

00:22:05.060 gonna get a thousand respondents just get a random uh random list of people survey the riding and

00:22:12.180 prove no one liked this there's even been polls that came out showing that even liberal party

00:22:17.940 supporters themselves find this all kind of skeezy just as i didn't like when leona alice love crossed

00:22:23.860 from the liberals to the conservatives back in like 2018 or so it didn't do anything good for

00:22:28.340 the conservative branch she's not a conservative and if you had a liberal you should stick with it

00:22:33.700 Unless your party completely flip-flops on an issue and you're saying, I'm not wanting to flip-flop, I'm going to have to go to this other party that will allow me to keep all my original positions, you're not, you shouldn't be floor crossing.

00:22:45.120 Unless, let's say, even if it's not something you ran on but you're leaving because of it, let's say a brand new massive issue hits Canadian politics and your party is so out of line with what your riding wants.

00:22:57.440 like let's say you are a newfoundland mp and the rest of the country for some reason wants to just

00:23:04.320 ban fishing and your party is pro-banning fishing even the membership at the convention was pro-banning

00:23:11.340 fishing except for the local newfoundlanders that you represent your newfoundland whatever party that

00:23:17.020 you're representing and then you're saying i have to leave and join the newfoundland party because

00:23:20.440 they're trying to destroy the biggest industry of newfoundland that being although it might be

00:23:25.440 oil and gas these days, but like fishing. I represent a big fishing riding. I am leaving

00:23:30.380 and starting the fishing party. That would be a good reason to do that. Her leaving because,

00:23:35.920 well, the liberals are going to pump more money into my riding if I do. That's called corruption. 1.00

00:23:41.560 That's not how government's supposed to work, and you are reinforcing it. But even then,

00:23:46.820 that's not even the reason. The reason is Marilyn Gladew's massive ego. I think we would just want 1.00

00:23:52.360 to quickly cite the really insane post that she had made not that long ago. That's absolutely

00:23:59.760 hilarious these days of her congratulating Amarjeet Gill for not crossing over to the Liberals.

00:24:06.700 Rebel News and Ezra Levant should put this on their mobile billboard truck and drive it around.

00:24:11.900 Marilyn Gladju responded to this post from Amarjeet Gill, Gill saying, over the past few weeks,

00:24:16.540 I've been approached by the Liberals and encouraged to cross the floor. I firmly rejected their offer,

00:24:21.160 To which Marilyn Gladger responded on January 13th, thank you for being so true to the voters

00:24:26.560 who elected you.

00:24:28.060 Yes, unlike you, Marilyn.

00:24:30.600 Anyways, with that all being said, thank you guys for watching.

00:24:33.600 It's a bit of a late upload today, but I saw this and knew I wanted to jump on it and not

00:24:37.680 wait at all.

00:24:38.840 So you get a second video today.

00:24:40.760 I'm not sure if that's a good thing or you are watching this at a pure obligation to

00:24:44.540 keep my lights on.

00:24:45.760 But regardless, however you choose to watch, thank you for doing it.

00:24:49.060 I'll see you all next time.
