Transcript

00:00:00.960 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the book Rules for Radicals
00:00:07.040 by Saul Alinsky, but in it one of the rules for getting social change is the idea that if you push
00:00:14.800 a negative too hard and deep enough it will break through to its counter side. This is based on the
00:00:20.400 principle that every positive has its negative. And that is exactly what has gone on with the
00:00:27.200 Liberal Party and Liberal influencers online, constant attacks on pure Polyev and the conservatives
00:00:33.360 over really shallow comparisons between Polyev and Donald Trump. It actually has started to hurt
00:00:40.080 the Liberal Party that they have pushed this line as hard as they have because not only does it have
00:00:45.280 no effect on Polyev the more people see that it's just silly dumb comparisons, but it makes the
00:00:50.560 Liberals look, rightfully so, like a bunch of liars. So in a second here I want to get to what is
00:00:57.040 possibly the dumbest comparison between Polyev and Trump because it backfired on the Liberals
00:01:03.440 gloriously yesterday. But before I do that, I do also just want to talk about a little bit of
00:01:09.120 polling news before we get to that as well as some other Liberal attacks on Polyev that I want to go
00:01:14.400 over today. But before I get into it all guys, make sure to leave a like on this video if you've been
00:01:20.080 liking my federal election coverage. Subscribe to the channel if you are not yet a subscriber, about 50%
00:01:26.160 of people watching usually are not subscribers. And if you subscribe, you help me get to my goal
00:01:30.880 of 100,000 by mid-December so I do not have to buy my friends dinner. Because I had the silly bet
00:01:38.320 if I don't make it all the way there, I owe them all dinner. And then leave a comment, what do you
00:01:42.640 think about the topic of the day? What has been the dumbest attack on Polyev and the conservatives that
00:01:47.200 you have seen during this election cycle? Anyways, so I quickly just want to jump over to this post
00:01:54.400 by David Colleto. He says, conservatives close gap on Liberals in crucial final stretch. And then it is
00:02:01.600 a link to Vancouver City News where he made an appearance and he's been talking about even in
00:02:06.800 his polling that still showed the Liberals up by a little bit as of a few days ago has further
00:02:12.400 tightened. I also want to mention that in his last poll, he released what you call a neighbor poll.
00:02:19.840 Who's your neighbor voting for is the general question. Because in Abacus Data's last poll,
00:02:24.960 it was plus two Liberal. But if you ask people who's your neighbor voting for, it's plus four
00:02:30.080 Conservative. This is actually a really good metric over time to gauge election results. And in 2020,
00:02:38.000 if you ask people straight up who they were voting for, it actually gave Biden way too big of a lead
00:02:42.960 compared to actually what he won the popular vote by. But if you did a social circle prediction,
00:02:48.800 as you can see on this chart, it was far closer to the actual gap between Joe Biden and Donald Trump
00:02:55.920 in the popular vote. There was such a thing as the shy Tory effect. And it's especially apparent right now
00:03:02.960 when the media and the Liberal Party is basically saying, if you support pure positive and conservatives,
00:03:07.440 you're basically supporting fascism and Donald Trump turning candid to the 51st state. So
00:03:12.240 naturally, people get a bit nervous who don't understand how polling works. And they don't
00:03:16.080 know that it's all entirely anonymous and a pollster would get sued into the floor by probably the
00:03:21.360 person if they ever revealed who they're voting for, as well as the government. But people will still
00:03:26.400 just not answer. They won't pick up the phone. Or they'll say Liberal when they're in fact voting
00:03:30.240 Conservative because that's who they think the pollster wants them to choose.
00:03:34.160 It sounds irrational, but most people don't always act rationally all the time. But anyways,
00:03:40.640 so this is all very good to see because if it's tightening even further from the plus two Liberal,
00:03:47.200 in the same poll having a neighbor vote of plus four Conservative, this means we could actually end up
00:03:52.880 with an election where the Conservatives win the popular vote by a few points and the pollsters pretty
00:03:57.920 much all universally missed it in their normal polling. I've been talking to poll analysts,
00:04:04.400 I was talking to Chris from the Great Canadian Bagel podcast a few days ago,
00:04:08.240 and his surveying of Nova Scotia, a province where supposedly the Liberals are going to sweep,
00:04:14.080 it's very tight, it's very tight in Liberal ridings, and actually the Conservative ridings
00:04:18.480 that are supposedly in play are not in play at all. He said that there could be a massive polling
00:04:24.080 missing this election, and I agree, it could all be accurate, maybe the Liberals sweep to a majority,
00:04:29.280 I don't know. But I think based on the previous provincial elections that have gone on, the
00:04:35.440 pollsters' methodology is not picking up how the modern Canadian is voting, or at least the general
00:04:41.680 public is voting at this point. And you can always seem kind of accurate, because if you just named random
00:04:47.840 numbers, you would probably be as accurate as a pollster who's asking people. Because we all know
00:04:53.440 generally what a Canadian election is going to look like, and in this race, you could basically give
00:04:58.320 both the parties 40%, you're probably more accurate than what a lot of them are showing
00:05:02.320 with plus eight Liberal when you walk around neighborhoods and battleground ridings, and
00:05:06.480 there's more signs for the Conservatives. But anyways, that's enough rambling about that.
00:05:11.200 Now I want to jump over to the dumbest attack I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:05:16.720 So this is from Roddy, and I'm not just picking on some anon Liberal account. This went everywhere.
00:05:24.080 So he says, you're right, Polyev is nothing like Trump. And it's a picture of Pierre Polyev at his
00:05:29.520 Calgary rally yesterday, which I was at, and then Donald Trump at a rally, and both of them have
00:05:35.360 their campaign jets behind them. Okay? Who cares? How is this like a sign that Polyev is like Trump?
00:05:45.120 By the way, nobody's like Trump. Trump is a big character. And Polyev and Trump actually have
00:05:50.800 extremely different styles. Whenever they even point out real comparisons between Trump and Polyev,
00:05:56.400 they're basically just saying they're both conservative politicians in a general sense.
00:06:00.320 In general, if you are somewhat conservative, obviously you're going to have overlap with
00:06:05.200 another conservative politician. Even the reddest of red Tories have things they are similar on with
00:06:10.960 Donald Trump. But then a lot of people saw that and started pointing out other people who have had
00:06:16.880 campaign jet hanger rallies, including Kamala Harris. So is Pierre Polyev now bad because he's also like
00:06:25.280 Kamala Harris, because she was doing tons of rallies like this, where her and Tim Walls would go and
00:06:31.760 have rallies at hangars because Trump was doing it. Or is now every single person who's ever flown on a
00:06:37.280 plane like Trump? Because apparently that's what they're saying. Maybe Trump invented airplanes in
00:06:42.320 these people's minds. And again, it wasn't just random people sharing this. I will show you. We have this
00:06:49.280 Joe Racinelli. Some names screw me up here. But he was posting says, Aiken ain't wrong. And it's David
00:06:59.200 Aiken saying for campaigns, for a campaign that's trying to shed any Trumpiness, not sure this final
00:07:05.840 hours photo op helps. And again, is one of those things where it's Polyev standing in front of his jet
00:07:11.760 at a rally. And then you have Trump in front of his jet at a rally. Do you know who also just did
00:07:20.080 a campaign jet rally? Well, it's our good friend. It's our good buddy, Mr. Mark Carney. This was this
00:07:30.160 morning. What? Apparently smart campaigning makes you like Donald Trump. And it's good. This is a smart
00:07:37.280 thing to do. You just have to get off the plane, do the rally, and then you get back on the plane,
00:07:41.840 and it flies out. This is the sort of thing that makes people resent the liberals more.
00:07:48.480 Again, rules for radicals. If you keep pushing a negative too far, that Polyev and Trump are
00:07:54.960 somewhat similar, and you push it to the nth degree, eventually it's going to break through.
00:07:58.800 And people are going to say, well, if they're willing to lie and slander Polyev over this shallow crap,
00:08:05.520 he must be right about a lot of stuff because the liberals can't land a real blow on him.
00:08:10.800 Absolutely. Where's the real blow? What have they actually said about Polyev?
00:08:16.400 That's true. Oh, he's going to cut your CPP. No, he's not. He's going to cut your healthcare.
00:08:21.280 No, he's not. When has a conservative ever gotten into government and cut healthcare outside of the 90s,
00:08:28.000 when liberals and conservatives were having to cut healthcare spending because of the debt crisis,
00:08:32.160 which might have to happen eventually if the liberals get back in for a fourth term
00:08:36.160 and keep driving up the debt massively, and we're paying like a third of our taxpayer dollars every
00:08:40.880 year just in interest rates or just in interest payments on the debt. This was so stupid,
00:08:47.120 I think that it ended up actually basically ruining Trump comparisons for the rest of the election.
00:08:53.120 That was pathetic. But now I need to get to another Trump comparison made by our friend
00:08:59.920 Laura Babcock on her random show where she sits in her office and has a meltdown.
00:09:04.240 In Trump's FBI out there arresting a sitting judge,
00:09:07.600 Gideon's going, holy shit. Like this is not a time to dick around. Not about the past. It's not about
00:09:15.280 partisan politics. Sorry, why does a judge being arrested in the US, by the way, who likely committed
00:09:24.160 a crime, that's why he was arrested, unless you think judges can just do whatever they want. It
00:09:28.400 wasn't like they made a bad judgment and then Trump had the man arrested, like bag over his head,
00:09:33.040 put into the back of a van and we're never going to see him again. That's not what happened.
00:09:37.040 Why does this have anything to do with Canadians? So something happens in the US, Canadians need to
00:09:45.840 vote liberal. That is effectively the headline that describes every single dumb comparison or
00:09:52.640 dumb attack on poly that involves Trump. Oh my goodness, something happened in the state of Wyoming.
00:09:58.160 We all need to vote liberal for some reason. Oh my goodness, something happened in Lesotho.
00:10:03.920 We need to vote liberal. I don't get it. This has to be about protecting our country
00:10:10.880 from the very real threat of the Trump MAGA regime. What, is he going to arrest our judges?
00:10:19.120 Apparently, what? We know the affinity and the proximity of the MAGA people
00:10:24.720 to who's running here in Canada. We know that poly... You know this. She knows this. This is what I
00:10:32.640 never understood. They just say, well, we know. We know they're close. Which one? Which one? You mean
00:10:38.720 some MAGA people have said some nice things about Polyev? They say nice things about any conservative
00:10:42.880 around the country, around the world who says like, you know, something like, you know, logical
00:10:47.840 or pushes back on the media. Oh, Pete Hegg says something nice about Trump or Polyev. Who cares?
00:10:52.960 Okay. We literally had NDP, BC NDP, MLA candidates wearing Kamala Harris t-shirts while they were
00:11:00.720 campaigning for some reason. But they never get, and they literally will have Hillary Clinton,
00:11:05.360 the liberals, at their AGM. The NDP had Bernie Sanders. When have the conservatives ever done
00:11:13.040 anything like that?
00:11:15.040 And some of the people close to him have close ties to the Trump regime. Canada, come on. This is our last
00:11:22.560 chance to stop this. We need to absolutely send a message to the US and to the world that Canada
00:11:29.360 in this moment is elbows up behind Mark Carney. Oh my goodness. Someone needs, someone needs to,
00:11:37.280 whoever has been hiding Laura Babcock's lithium from her has committed a crime. My goodness.
00:11:43.920 I don't want to be too rude here. But what is it with certain liberal people?
00:11:53.760 They'll get emotionally invested in something that they don't want to engage in the facts on.
00:11:58.320 It's not like they've really looked into a subject and they get more and more mad over it because of
00:12:03.280 all the things they found out. No, she hasn't looked into it past the surface level. And she's like,
00:12:09.440 staring into the camera, shake your head back and forth. This is our last chance, guys, to save the
00:12:16.000 country. Do you not care about debt or crime? Crime is crazy right now. I need to show this. I was
00:12:24.240 actually going to maybe put this in a different video. This is a great chart that this person,
00:12:29.680 Jess, has posted on X. And I'm just going to read it out to you here because I thought this was
00:12:35.200 fairly, a really good dissection of just the terrible crime policy, the terrible criminal
00:12:41.760 justice policy, the liberals. So Jess here says, since 2019, organized retail crime in Canada has
00:12:47.600 exploded. Theft under $5,000 became a low risk crime and organized groups noticed. And this is
00:12:53.440 absolutely right. In fact, in places like New York City, and we have stats in Canada that are similar.
00:12:58.400 This is just, I don't have them off the top of my head. It's like 100 people in New York City
00:13:03.360 create more than a third of all the retail or commit more than a third of all the retail theft.
00:13:08.880 It's nuts. And people will act like, no, criminals are irrational. They don't care what the law is.
00:13:13.440 They do. They figure it out after a while that you can steal whatever you want underneath $5,000.
00:13:19.360 If you do get caught, you're going to get arrested and booked, but they'll let you out within five
00:13:24.400 seconds because it's not nonviolent. And then the prosecutors might not even get to your case,
00:13:28.400 and the charges might get dropped. Or even if you do time, you're going to do like a year
00:13:32.000 probation and that's it. And you can probably just keep committing the crimes during that period as
00:13:35.440 well. But they go on to say, under the liberal government, courts shifted towards lighter
00:13:40.320 sentencing. First time shoplifters often faced warnings, diversions, or conditional discharges
00:13:45.680 instead of jail. Theft under $5,000 is still criminal under Section 334B of the criminal code,
00:13:52.240 but prosecutors often offer diversion programs, community service, probation, or small fines
00:13:57.280 instead of jail. Police often won't even arrest unless it's part of a repeat pattern or involved
00:14:03.120 violence. And I know this. I worked at a liquor store for five years right next to the C train
00:14:08.560 station in Calgary. We had to install our own door locks. We had to see who people were before we let
00:14:14.240 them in and you would still have some theft. I had an entire year and a half without the door lock
00:14:19.200 system. And you'd have an attempted shoplifting like every 10 days or so. And we were in a not
00:14:24.800 super high crime part of the city, but it was crazy. You'd have like four people walking with
00:14:29.040 backpacks just loading up stuff. And the police would get there and they'd be apologetic. Like,
00:14:33.280 we really can't do anything. Even if we catch the guy, the prosecutors aren't going to do anything.
00:14:38.240 And then we see, uh, Jess finishes up here saying, organized theft rings now operate across major
00:14:43.520 cities and small towns, stealing not just luxury goods, but daily essentials, meat, baby formula,
00:14:48.480 toothpaste, resale markets thrive. And look at this chart that they put down here. Look at the
00:14:54.560 retail theft increases. Organized retail theft rings have increased 350%. Retail theft in general
00:15:00.800 has increased 180%. Stores locking basic goods has increased 75%. Use of private security, 55%. Use of
00:15:09.360 facial recognition, 25%. And if you just enforce the law, this will stop. Mass incarceration actually
00:15:18.720 works. Well, mass incarceration doesn't deter crime. It's not supposed to. It's supposed to
00:15:24.240 lock up a criminal who would keep committing crime. I'm not locking up Joe to stop David from committing
00:15:30.400 a crime. I'm locking up Joe because Joe is committing crime. And if David's going to do the same thing,
00:15:35.760 he can also go to prison for 10 years. That is how you actually like tamp down the giant curve we have
00:15:43.360 upward in our crime rates, but they don't want to deal with it. My goodness. Anyway, so now we're going
00:15:49.120 to move over to our good friend, our favorite buddy, Frank Dominic, because I like that he is in a lot of
00:15:57.040 ways, not a stage managed liberal talking head. He genuinely probably just says what he wants to say.
00:16:02.000 And so I get an unfiltered leftist opinion from him. And so I like to break down his videos because
00:16:08.720 in my opinion, it demonstrates that the liberals don't really have or lefties don't really have
00:16:13.440 good arguments. So let's hear it out from Frank Dominic on this video. Which one is this specifically?
00:16:19.760 This one is wanting is about a bunch of stuff, including trying to compare Polyev to RFK Jr.
00:16:26.480 They also say that they can boost the economy by ending the labeling requirements for natural
00:16:30.400 health products. To be clear, that means removing safety information and unproven claims from products.
00:16:37.440 I don't think the conservatives have ever claimed that removing the labeling requirements on natural
00:16:43.040 health products was boosting the economy. It's a niche market. The whole point is that the liberals
00:16:48.160 just imposed these new rules. The market really didn't have much problems in it. Yeah, someone might
00:16:54.240 just send you some garbage medication. I don't buy natural health products at all. But the whole point
00:16:59.600 is that you're cracking down on a market for no, absolutely no reason that costs billions of dollars
00:17:05.120 of taxpayer money to oversee what is at the worst, just kind of frivolous products. And yeah, so,
00:17:12.400 but he's trying to do that. He's talking about this just to make the RFK Jr. comparison.
00:17:16.320 That won't boost the economy. That will only boost the amount of RFK style brain worms in the economy.
00:17:21.040 Anyway, they also want to cut taxes for seniors and promise to axe a few other taxes that don't
00:17:25.600 exist, but they insist that Mark Carney is going to bring in. Outside of that, they also say that
00:17:28.960 they want to crack down on tax cheats. This seems to be a way... Sorry, I still don't see what the
00:17:34.960 problem here is. Yes, the conservatives will get rid of the taxes or will not bring in the taxes the
00:17:40.640 liberals were planning on bringing in. And maybe he's talking about the they're going to get rid of,
00:17:45.680 or they're going to not have the carbon tax tariffs. Well, that that's not a real promise,
00:17:51.520 because they don't exist yet. Well, you should promise to do it if the other guys are promised
00:17:55.440 or to promise to not do it if the other guys are promising to do it, but whatever. Way of directly
00:18:00.000 targeting Carney with his Brookfield assets held in Bermuda being a top focus, as well as promising
00:18:04.560 20% of collected taxes to whistleblowers who help the CRA expose illegal schemes, and also a website
00:18:10.000 to name and shame people they accuse of being tax cheats. And that last part sounds like a little
00:18:14.240 authoritarian. I'm sorry, do you just, does he think Polyev's just going to create a fun website
00:18:19.360 just to name people that, you know, he just specced might be lying about their taxes? Or do you think
00:18:25.280 that Polyev's going to put people they're probably convicted of actually cheating on their taxes after
00:18:29.840 the CRA audits them? I think that's a fine idea. I think we should shame criminality. Just like the
00:18:36.400 retail thieves, we should be shaming tax cheats as well. And he's framing this all in such a stupid
00:18:43.520 thing. Conservatives are jumping on this issue just because it benefits them. Sorry, is it good
00:18:48.400 for them to do it? Who cares about the motive? If Carney is hiding his money overseas at Brookfield
00:18:55.040 asset management money in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, why not promise to do that? That is a big
00:19:01.440 drain on Canada's tax revenues to have companies operating in Canada, but then putting their assets
00:19:06.960 overseas. By the way, we can also fix this by lowering corporate taxes, which I hope the conservatives
00:19:11.680 do. But I find this entire framing just obnoxious. That in fact, it's bad because the conservatives
00:19:18.400 will benefit. That is the attitude I get from so many people online on the left. The conservatives
00:19:24.800 are doing something they're only saying because it benefits them. Does it benefit Canadians if they do
00:19:28.640 it? Then who cares? Who cares? But I'm sure it pulls well. They also seem to want to do this without
00:19:33.360 increasing. And also he said it was authoritarian. It's not authoritarian. It's not authoritarian to shame
00:19:37.600 criminals in funding to a CRA. Ultimately, if you want to increase tax collection, you need to expand
00:19:42.880 the scope and therefore the budget of the tax collectors here also wants to act. That's actually
00:19:48.560 not true. If this guy knew anything about economics, you can actually collect more tax revenue by just
00:19:55.040 increasing the size of the economy by lowering taxes. You can, in fact, bring in more revenue in
00:20:00.320 taxes by lowering taxes, by lowering regulations, by making it that people actually want to expand
00:20:06.960 their businesses here or start their business here and that more than the economy and the size
00:20:11.520 of it grows. That's great. But for some reason, that's a bad thing. And he thinks that the only
00:20:15.680 way of collecting more tax because he's a leftist is taxing harder. The sales tax on cars made in
00:20:21.440 Canada. This is to fight Trump and his tariffs, except literally every car made in Canada is also made in
00:20:26.720 the USA. So, I mean, sure, let's make cars more affordable, but the framing here is pretty unrealistic.
00:20:31.840 That's not unrealistic at all. The finished product of the car removes the sales tax. So,
00:20:36.800 what's your problem with it? I don't know why he also makes these faces throughout the entire video.
00:20:41.600 Like, he's really trying to show you that he thinks this is all really weird than what
00:20:45.680 Polyev is saying. He's really grimacing to show that I'm not so on board with what Mr. Polyev is saying.
00:20:52.320 Again, I see a lot of lefties doing this. This is what Laura Babcock's doing with the bobbing her
00:20:58.720 head around, looking concerned because we need to be so concerned right now, guys. And he's
00:21:02.960 doing the whole, well, we should all be skeptical because I have my skeptical face on.
00:21:06.960 He wants to cut the tax on alcohol to 2017 levels. This has proven popular even when it
00:21:12.400 hasn't shown any benefits to consumers, as Doug Ford can attest to. Although it should be noted that
00:21:16.480 things... Why isn't it benefit consumers? Lowering taxes in general benefits all consumers and producers.
00:21:21.360 Things like alcohol and tobacco in Canada are taxed highly for two reasons. First off,
00:21:25.280 it will lower consumption. And secondly... It doesn't really. Because this is the stupid thing about
00:21:31.440 tobacco and alcohol taxes. Which alcoholic drinks less because there's a 7% charge on it or 3%
00:21:41.280 charge on it extra. It doesn't... That's not how that works. It doesn't actually affect people who have
00:21:46.560 a problem. If anything, you should probably have some sort of way of, like, basically limiting people.
00:21:52.880 If they actually have a problem, they're just killing themselves.
00:21:55.280 It'll increase revenues for our healthcare system. This is extremely important in a public healthcare
00:21:58.800 system to reduce the overall cost of society and to keep our system functioning. Pierre doesn't seem to
00:22:02.960 indicate where the budget shortfalls to healthcare will be made up or where else from the budget this will
00:22:06.880 come from. Growing the economy. He's also openly talked about cutting really stupid programs,
00:22:13.600 like the Housing Acceleration Fund, that is not going to... Has not built any more houses,
00:22:18.560 but costs literally multiple billions of dollars. That's an easy... They also say... Because the way
00:22:23.280 that you cut... The way that you actually build more houses, you lower regulations. Carney wants to dump
00:22:29.280 $36 billion into house building over the next 10 years or whatever, or five years because he wants to do
00:22:34.560 it by 2030. That's not how house building works. You don't just chunk a bunch of money at some
00:22:40.960 developers and they put up housing. You have to lower the regulations to make it worth, to make it
00:22:44.880 actually time efficient to build. The problem is when prices go up, naturally builders want to build
00:22:51.600 more because you can sell that house unit for more money. But if the regulations make it so difficult
00:22:59.280 to build, you will literally find developers because it's so costly because of the regulations and it takes so
00:23:03.840 much time, they don't even want to try. Because there's actually, with all the delays that can
00:23:09.600 happen, with all the reviews that can happen, there is a chance, even if you can sell a unit for a
00:23:14.160 million dollars, that that unit might end up costing basically a million or just a little bit less and
00:23:20.160 wasn't worth your time at all to slowly grind it out over more than a year to actually get the
00:23:26.320 approvals to even start on that house. But now let's jump over to another one and that is Frank
00:23:33.200 Dominic talking about the hurdles that Pierre Paulyev is going to have with getting rid of the carbon tax.
00:23:38.480 Pierre doesn't seem to indicate where the budget shortfalls to healthcare will be made up or where
00:23:42.240 else from the budget this will come from. And don't worry, it's not just the conservatives.
00:23:45.440 The liberals also plan on magically cutting spending without reducing services.
00:23:50.080 By the way though, how is it that people who don't care about the deficits, they don't care about debt,
00:23:56.160 suddenly really care about where the money is going to come from? Couldn't you technically just run a
00:24:00.640 couple deficits in order to reduce people's taxes for a couple of years before the economy
00:24:05.520 grows to make up for it? You can easily do that. But then suddenly everyone's a fiscal hawk on the
00:24:10.720 left when we want to cut people's taxes. They don't care how much it costs when you're spending money,
00:24:15.520 but if you actually give people their own money back, oh my goodness, this could cost us too much.
00:24:19.760 And lastly, the conservatives also want to axe the carbon tax for everyone, for real or good. Mark
00:24:25.280 Carney already axe the consumer carbon tax. Pierre wants to axe the producer tax. The issue here is that we
00:24:30.320 literally have binding legal agreements with the EU and other important global partners to have
00:24:34.400 a carbon pricing mechanism for producers. Okay, we just don't agree. We just don't agree anymore.
00:24:39.200 We don't want to do it. What are they going to do? Not buy Canadian? Do they not want our oil and gas
00:24:43.360 products once we start shipping it? Well then they can pack sand. The funny thing, how is it that America
00:24:51.680 can send products to the EU without having their own industrial carbon tax around the country? How is it that
00:24:58.080 that happens? It's almost like at the end of the day capitalism wins and bureaucrats lose. Eventually
00:25:04.160 they will have to trade with you. Why is it that the EU trades with China? Why is it that they trade
00:25:09.280 with India? They don't have carbon taxes. It's almost like it doesn't matter. Oh, but there's this binding
00:25:14.400 agreement. Binding how? Where are they going to send the EU cops? Where are they going to like come over
00:25:19.360 here and arrest the prime minister for not enforcing an industrial carbon tax? Like, screw off.
00:25:24.560 In place in order to maintain our trade deals with them. And we really, really do not have
00:25:28.880 the leverage right now to be pissing off our only allies while America is being an irrational actor.
00:25:33.600 Pierre also. They would be irrational to stop trading with us over an industrial carbon tax.
00:25:38.320 Oh, being irrational does not cancel out the Cheeto down south. Oh yeah, Trump's the Cheeto down south.
00:25:44.240 These people need new lines. Okay, well, do we have another one? Okay, that should be it for today on
00:25:49.840 those. I always like going over Frank Dominic videos because, again, I like the unfiltered
00:25:55.360 leftist mindset when it comes to these issues. Still not good. Still not logical at all. But what can
00:26:02.720 you do? Anyways, well, what you can do is like this video if you haven't yet. You can subscribe if you
00:26:07.760 haven't yet. And you can leave a comment if you haven't yet. Look at that. That is a professional
00:26:12.000 transition because I am a professional. But that should be it for me today, guys. Thank you for
00:26:16.800 watching. Thanks to all the people who came up and said hi to me yesterday at the Calgary rally.
00:26:23.040 Somebody literally asked me to just to say, hey, guys, Wyatt Claypool here, because apparently that's
00:26:28.480 like a big line or whatever, some famous meme or something, even though I literally only say that at
00:26:34.800 the beginning of videos so I can have a standardized intro and it helps me get my rhythm into the topic.
00:26:40.080 Every once in a while, I will do an opening where I don't say that just for the, you know,
00:26:44.800 just so I don't feel like I'm too robotic in every video. But yeah, so I guess that's now a thing,
00:26:50.880 apparently. Maybe I have to make merch around that. Who knows? But yeah,
00:26:55.200 thanks for watching, guys. And I will be definitely back with another video later today.
