The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Liberal Media Can't Beat Pierre Poilievre!

00:00:00.000 I think that the top reason why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is going to lose to Pierre Polyev in 2025 is that Justin Trudeau's biggest political asset is no longer delivering for him anymore. 0.96

00:00:11.460 And if anything, they're actually hurting him, not intentionally, but unintentionally, because they just happen to suck at their jobs as much as Justin Trudeau sucks at his.

00:00:20.380 And of course, I'm talking about the liberal legacy media. 0.74

00:00:24.200 Usually, Justin Trudeau, in all the previous elections, was up against a Conservative Party leader who was willing to accept the attacks from the legacy media.

00:00:32.780 If they said, well, why is your party so full of radicals?

00:00:36.060 Or why do you hate women? 0.93

00:00:37.620 Or why do you hate children?

00:00:39.280 Or why do you hate minorities? 1.00

00:00:40.740 Just dumb, leading questions that are meant to make the audience think, does he hate women? 1.00

00:00:46.560 Or does he hate minorities? 1.00

00:00:47.860 Nonsense.

00:00:48.300 I don't like Aaron O'Toole, but whenever they accused Aaron O'Toole of this radical stuff, I was rolling my eyes because Aaron O'Toole is the most milquetoast, basically a liberal politician you'll ever find in the Conservative Party.

00:01:01.420 Yet he would accept every single attack they made of him. 0.98

00:01:04.040 And the great thing with Peter Polyev at the head of the Conservative Party is he doesn't buy any of their garbage.

00:01:09.860 And this is what used to undermine Conservatives, is when they would undermine themselves in the face of a rabid media who's out to make the Conservatives look like the unstable option compared to the stability of Justin Trudeau. 0.93

00:01:22.560 Because, yes, Justin Trudeau might suck at his job, but at least he sucks at his job the same way every day, whereas they'd make the Conservatives out to be radicals who are out to get certain people.

00:01:31.920 And you can't trust their policies.

00:01:33.720 It's kind of like what they used to do to Danielle Smith in the 2023 election. 0.61

00:01:38.060 Like, what's she going to do next? 0.56

00:01:39.520 And I have criticisms of Danielle Smith as a Conservative. 0.96

00:01:42.980 But all the criticisms that came from the left were, like, non-criticisms.

00:01:47.420 They're almost like conspiracy theories, where it's like, Daniel Smith's up to something.

00:01:51.700 We can't tell you what, but she's up to something.

00:01:53.960 Same thing that they did with what they did with Erin O'Toole, Andrew Scheer, Stephen Harper.

00:01:59.100 It's all this idea that they're shadowy and you don't know what they're going to do.

00:02:02.440 But what Pierre Polyev does that's quite amazing, like you're going to see in this video that went viral, is he doesn't accept the media's premises every single time they ask smear questions.

00:02:12.820 The answers to these questions do not matter.

00:02:15.080 It's just about getting that smear in front of that politician and then having them answer it.

00:02:19.740 If you answer, you lose because you are giving legitimacy to the question being asked in the first place. 1.00

00:02:25.600 If you don't play the game, you don't win the stupid prize that comes with it. 0.99

00:02:29.400 Anyways, here's the clip that went viral. 0.99

00:02:32.000 Even American Conservative outlets were sharing this video because this is a masterclass in how you deal with dishonest media members.

00:02:39.700 On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.

00:02:49.420 What does that mean?

00:02:51.520 Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess.

00:02:57.560 What do you mean by that?

00:02:58.340 Certainly, you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently.

00:03:03.880 Like what?

00:03:06.300 Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing, you know, I mean, it's that type of ideological thing.

00:03:11.940 I never really talk about left or right.

00:03:13.260 Anyways, a lot of people...

00:03:13.980 I don't really believe in that.

00:03:14.940 Okay.

00:03:15.780 A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump book.

00:03:21.020 Like which people would say that?

00:03:22.540 Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but...

00:03:26.780 Like who?

00:03:28.260 I don't know who, but...

00:03:29.860 Well, you're the one who asked the question, so you must know somebody.

00:03:33.240 Okay.

00:03:34.260 I'm sure there's some out there, but anyways, the point of this question is, I mean, why should Canadians trust you with their vote, given...

00:03:44.640 And then the guy finally gets to a real question.

00:03:47.560 I don't even care what outlets the guy's from.

00:03:49.340 That's pretty much the sort of treatment that a conservative is expected to get from Global, CTV, CBC, the Toronto Star, definitely, and all those legacy media, government-subsidized outlets.

00:04:00.280 But the great thing that Pierre Polyev does there is he does not accept the premise of the question.

00:04:05.900 As soon as he's saying, you use populist language, like what language?

00:04:09.840 Well, some people say that you're taking a page out of Donald Trump's playbook.

00:04:12.320 Which people?

00:04:13.020 You know, what do I say?

00:04:13.840 And the guy has nothing, and it's because the legacy media is so used to weak conservatives that his initial question by Aaron O'Toole would have just been accepted.

00:04:24.140 He would have said, well, I'll work hard to make sure that people know that I'm not just, I'm not a populist.

00:04:29.300 I'm straight down the middle, I'm a Canadian at heart, I'm true north, that's who I am.

00:04:34.140 Don't even accept it.

00:04:35.100 Just, I even love the nonchalance of Pierre Polyev, just eating an apple while this putz just sort of figures out an angle of attack on him.

00:04:42.600 And eventually, after they all run out, he has to ask him a real question.

00:04:46.240 Because, like, remember this, the legacy media will always phrase it in a legitimate question in the end, but the initial setup to the question is meant to make Canadians hate you.

00:04:56.720 So he eventually does get to why should Canadians trust you to be prime minister?

00:05:00.280 Perfectly legitimate question.

00:05:01.360 It's actually a very good question to ask any politician, allows them to be able to answer what their critics might be thinking of them without making it an attack.

00:05:10.640 They can take that question in any direction they want, and that's what a good interviewer should do if you do not have a specific, well-evident accusation to make against them.

00:05:19.740 That's exactly what you should be doing as a journalist.

00:05:22.080 And I guarantee you, independent media does actual questions to NDP, liberal, green politicians all the time.

00:05:29.560 I'm an independent media, ugh, sorry, I'm being all marble-mouthed right now.

00:05:34.540 But whenever I've been at press conferences or at different AGM events or anything like that, whenever I'm around reporters from Rebel, True North, Western Standard, all those other outlets, the post-millennial, they actually, we actually do ask real questions.

00:05:47.040 If we have a problem with an NDP politician, we will say, you posted this about communism and how much you love it.

00:05:52.800 What do you say to voters who have concerns about that?

00:05:55.080 And then they just don't answer you.

00:05:56.400 It's just like, I think it was, what's his name?

00:05:58.780 I want to, I feel so bad now I'm forgetting what his name is.

00:06:01.860 Lincoln Jay from Rebel News did a fantastic walking interview with Omar Al-Ghabra where he just said that, can you condemn Hamas?

00:06:08.180 Because, of course, this is not an illegitimate question.

00:06:11.560 Omar Al-Ghabra has a history of saying that Hamas and Hezbollah should be removed from Canada's terrorism watch list or terrorism blacklist.

00:06:18.880 He has a history of saying in 2011 that Israel should negotiate with Hamas, a terrorist group.

00:06:23.680 He is not exactly consistent on this issue.

00:06:26.480 And he's the type of guy who should have to answer whether or not he condemns Hamas.

00:06:30.920 And he wouldn't.

00:06:31.840 And that's what an independent media journalist does.

00:06:34.240 We don't run up to people and say, well, well, Trudeau, some say you're a communist.

00:06:38.360 Are you a communist?

00:06:39.260 Why is everyone saying you're a communist out there?

00:06:42.140 Because although I know people online who call Trudeau a communist, it's an illegitimate question.

00:06:46.660 He's not a communist.

00:06:47.600 I don't like his economic policy.

00:06:49.040 He's too socialistic by far for me, but he's not a communist.

00:06:52.500 So I would never say, well, some people say that you take a page out of Mao Zedong's playbook.

00:06:58.060 Even though he actually has grace China.

00:07:00.380 Frankly, this question that I'm hypothetically making up as a ridiculous question of Trudeau, 0.74

00:07:04.240 is not feeling as ridiculous as I go on here. 0.83

00:07:06.720 But that just shows you the state of Canada right now.

00:07:09.420 But that is why Trudeau is losing to Pierre Polyev.

00:07:13.120 His biggest asset, the legacy media, who spends billions of dollars a year reporting in a left-wing slanted direction.

00:07:20.700 It's not paying dividends to him anymore because every time Pierre Polyev appears on the news,

00:07:25.760 every chance the legacy media has to smear him, they just make him look better.

00:07:29.660 And frankly, after the pandemic, most Canadians do not like the legacy media.

00:07:33.640 That vaccinated, unvaccinated, pro-lockdown, anti-lockdown, everyone just kind of realizes that the legacy media is just not good at their jobs.

00:07:40.540 They don't ask legitimate questions.

00:07:41.920 They don't show both sides of the debate.

00:07:44.260 And they're always trying to push you towards a certain direction.

00:07:46.900 Even people who were initially pro-lockdown would have been fairly disgusted by the fact that the Toronto Star is taxpayer-subsidized.

00:07:54.360 And they're legitimately talking about unvaccinated people, leaving them to die on front pages of their newspaper. 0.71

00:08:00.720 Anyways, but this is where I just want to quickly bring up this poll that came up from polling, that was posted by Polling Canada on Twitter,

00:08:08.640 X, I guess, by Nanos Research, that now shows that Pierre Polyev is a 10% lead on Trudeau for preferred prime minister.

00:08:15.400 That is very big because with Pierre Polyev being ahead of him, that basically means that people have effectively, decisively chosen Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives for next election.

00:08:25.140 Because opposition leaders very, very rarely lead the prime minister in polling because opposition leaders, just because there's not a lot of money in covering politics in Canada,

00:08:33.800 people don't really even know who the opposition leaders are unless they've been around for a very long time, like Jagmeet Singh has been through a few news cycles.

00:08:40.120 Pierre Polyev has not been through an election cycle as a party leader yet.

00:08:44.020 So there's going to be like about 30 to 40% of people who will not know who he is until the writ drops. 0.81

00:08:49.640 So the fact that he has a 10% lead over Justin Trudeau, who has a probably 99 to 100% name recognition rate, is pathetic for Justin Trudeau.

00:08:59.600 I also just want to quickly pause here.

00:09:01.580 I don't want to be a shill for myself too much, but I do have a legal fundraiser I have linked in the description of this video below.

00:09:07.260 I have a Chinese billionaire suing me for nonsense.

00:09:10.320 I'm currently winning, but obviously he has a lot of money to throw at me and cause me a lot of legal expenses.

00:09:15.800 So I have a give, send, go link in the description of this video.

00:09:18.280 Give me a few dollars and that'd be fantastic.

00:09:20.160 Don't have to do it, but you can to be a great person.

00:09:22.700 I love you if you do.

00:09:24.100 Other than that, but I just want to quickly also just sort of mention the polling I talked about yesterday.

00:09:28.680 When we see polling like this, you can always tell the Liberal Party's biggest problem is that their voters,

00:09:34.880 their appeal in Canada is inextricably tied to Justin Trudeau.

00:09:38.860 Whenever you look at his approval ratings and whenever you look at his personal popularity

00:09:42.420 and or like preferred prime minister polling or his popularity,

00:09:46.320 his popularity and preferred prime minister polling effectively seems like it's his range for how well he does.

00:09:52.000 His preferred prime minister polling is 23% and his popularity rating is of 27%.

00:09:58.160 Those are effectively demonstrate the, right now, the floor and the ceiling of Liberal support.

00:10:03.460 So when you come back here, which is an aggregation of all the polling, he's at 28%.

00:10:07.440 He's effectively around his prime minister approval rating.

00:10:11.620 And I think that he can drop as low as 23% right now.

00:10:15.140 I don't think he's quite at the point where he could drop to 18% in a federal election way Mike Liknatiev was,

00:10:21.340 because at least he's been the prime minister.

00:10:23.020 So he has a certain amount of pull with people, 0.78

00:10:25.120 whereas Mike Liknatiev was a loser professor who was only in Canada to try and be prime minister.

00:10:29.800 And he was obviously like the Tory advertising was just visiting if he wasn't actually allowed to become prime minister.

00:10:37.580 But and this is where I think that the legacy media being Justin Trudeau's biggest asset is also his biggest flaw

00:10:44.760 is because as soon as the legacy media is not delivering, it basically leaves the Liberal Party completely floundered.

00:10:50.600 They actually tend to run pretty bad campaigns because their messaging only really apply,

00:10:56.340 like only really appeals to hyper socially liberal people in the GTA, Montreal and Vancouver areas.

00:11:02.600 And when the benefits stopped really panning out for Canadians,

00:11:07.120 when all the random little social programs and benefits stopped being beneficial Canadians,

00:11:11.280 and people realize that it's only making inflation worse,

00:11:14.000 and every dollar they get from the government is probably costing them $2 of the grocery store.

00:11:17.860 That's when he was losing the people who had more center left economic politics.

00:11:22.760 This is why you see in like this, the abacus data poll,

00:11:25.760 this is why you see Atlantic Canadians now shifting hard for the Conservatives.

00:11:29.860 It's because Atlantic Canadians are not socially progressive. 1.00

00:11:32.360 This is why in New Brunswick, abortions are effectively already outlawed because no doctor will offer them

00:11:36.940 because the Atlantic Canadian provinces tend to be very socially conservative.

00:11:41.080 They're very family oriented people.

00:11:42.680 But because of it being a more economically like difficult area to live in,

00:11:47.880 they tend to be more open to, you know, like to government programs and different subsidies and, you know,

00:11:55.060 you know, welfare kind of seasonal work, you know, schemes, not schemes.

00:11:59.880 It makes it sound wrong.

00:12:00.740 But, you know, I mean, just reasonable.

00:12:02.120 You know, the kind of thing that people do in like Newfoundland and Labrador where you're a lobster fisherman

00:12:10.120 during the actual fishing season, then you're on welfare during the non-season, the non-fishing seasons.

00:12:15.520 That's kind of the economy of several Atlantic provinces.

00:12:18.180 So obviously, they're a little bit more open to liberal economic policies.

00:12:21.540 But now that those policies are proven to just be awful, people just don't want the benefits anymore.

00:12:26.760 And they're willing to reject all this stuff, especially because on social issues,

00:12:30.440 they mostly just get kicked in the teeth by Justin Trudeau.

00:12:33.620 And I think that by 2025, I think that we will be seeing Pierre Polyev's preferred prime minister numbers,

00:12:40.220 and I'll show those on screen again.

00:12:41.580 They'll probably be around 40%, I think.

00:12:43.560 It's always going to be hard for a conservative leader because, again,

00:12:47.220 even though the legacy media sucks at smearing Polyev and they mostly just benefit his name recognition these days,

00:12:52.840 they will try and find dumb angles on him that he's acting properly in one or other ways that,

00:12:59.100 like, if you're really squint, you can kind of see how he did something wrong. 0.92

00:13:02.360 It'll be nonsense, but a lot of Canadians tend to believe it.

00:13:05.220 The annoying thing about election time, too, I think I said this yesterday,

00:13:09.820 but I always hate this whenever an election happens.

00:13:11.780 And there's obviously a better choice.

00:13:14.420 I'm not just saying that absolutely conservative option is always better.

00:13:16.760 I think it always is for the average person going into this next election.

00:13:21.080 And obviously, it's not Trudeau.

00:13:22.680 Obviously, it's not Jagmeet Singh, because if you don't like the policies of Trudeau,

00:13:26.120 which have all obviously failed, Jagmeet Singh would only do the policies but double the spending on them.

00:13:31.360 He offers nothing more.

00:13:32.920 So obviously, it's going to be the conservatives that are going to be the obvious new better option for Canadians.

00:13:37.880 But you're going to have a lot of people start humming and hawing and pretending to be very intellectual

00:13:42.060 about where their vote's going.

00:13:43.160 Oh, I'm going to read all the platforms.

00:13:44.480 Like, no, you're not.

00:13:45.120 You're just pretending to have a very intellectual view of politics in this country.

00:13:48.920 There often are black and white scenarios in Canadian politics.

00:13:53.500 Is it going to be the party who's going to lower inflation?

00:13:55.660 Or is it going to be the party who's going to raise inflation?

00:13:58.060 That's what this entire next election is going to be about.

00:14:01.000 Are you going to vote for the only party that can win seats, the CPC, that's going to stand up for parental rights?

00:14:06.800 Or are you going to vote for one of the left-wing parties that hates parental rights?

00:14:10.020 That's what this election is all about.

00:14:11.720 It's nothing to do with, well, who's a more stable, like, who's more likable, Justin Trudeau or Peter Polioff?

00:14:18.460 Who connects with voters?

00:14:19.280 Who cares?

00:14:19.780 It doesn't really matter.

00:14:20.520 I think Polioff connects better with voters, which we see in the preferred prime minister polling.

00:14:24.100 But often, I don't think that should even matter this time around.

00:14:27.580 Who's not going to destroy your household's economic financial situation?

00:14:33.360 Vote conservative.

00:14:34.660 Anyways, that should be it for me today.

00:14:36.160 Again, I have my Give, Send, Go legal fund link in the description of this video below.

00:14:40.040 I have the TNT email link also there.

00:14:42.660 If you want to sign up for our email, so we'll send our articles and our videos directly to your inbox.

00:14:47.420 We don't bombard people with our emails.

00:14:49.380 You get an email once every three days.

00:14:51.380 I don't think I've even sent one for an entire week now because, again, if the topics of stuff I'm going to send are interesting enough,

00:14:57.440 I don't really want to send you, like, one video, like a one three-minute video on Israel,

00:15:01.240 that seems a little bit much for an entire email.

00:15:04.220 And then you can also follow me on Twitter or X, which I have my account linked in the description of this video below.

00:15:11.120 And other than that, make sure to like, subscribe.

00:15:13.280 Make sure to click the notifications bell because, unlike myself, most people, I don't think,

00:15:17.600 actually just scroll through their subscription feed every day to see who they are following, who's posted something new.

00:15:23.340 So make sure you hit the bell if you like the channel so you actually get notified when I've made a new video.

00:15:27.740 And other than that, have a brilliant day.
