The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Mark Carney caught lying about Trump call!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. Well, in the waning days of Canada's federal election,

00:00:06.260 Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, sensing that the Conservatives and Polyev have the momentum 1.00

00:00:11.360 to win, are trying to artificially resurrect the issue of Donald Trump and his 51st state rhetoric

00:00:18.320 a few days before the vote, and they were caught lying about the whole thing. So, a few weeks ago,

00:00:24.820 Carney was talking about his call with President Donald Trump, and he said that he was actually

00:00:30.020 very respectful of Canada's sovereignty, but then, now, a few weeks later, before the election,

00:00:36.380 suddenly Carney was saying that Trump was very disrespectful, and he was bringing it up all the

00:00:40.260 time, and the media has caught him within the contradiction. So, I want to go over this story

00:00:45.660 because I think it actually does say a lot about the position of the parties right now, and before

00:00:50.280 I do that, I want to remind you guys, if you've been liking my federal election coverage, make sure

00:00:55.620 to leave a like on this video, subscribe to the channel, and leave a comment on the topic of the

00:01:00.840 day. So, Brittany here has posted the clip on X. You guys should actually go give her a follow. I'll

00:01:06.960 have this post linked down in the description below, but she says, Carney claimed President Trump showed

00:01:12.820 respect for Canada's sovereignty during their call, but that's not what happened, not even close.

00:01:17.420 The funny thing is, Brittany is seeing one of the contradictions, but later, there is a double

00:01:23.720 contradiction that is going to take place, both with the media going along with Carney's talking

00:01:29.500 points, as well as other media seeing that he's actually lying on two different fronts. So, look

00:01:35.700 at this clip right here first. The President respected Canada's sovereignty today, both in his private

00:01:41.140 and public comments. Sources are telling Radio Canada that Trump talked to Carney about Canada

00:01:46.320 becoming the 51st state. That is something we did not hear from the Prime Minister's office

00:01:51.440 after Trump and Carney spoke on March 28th. The President respected Canada's sovereignty today,

00:01:57.040 both in his private and public comments. So, what is it? Is he cowardly and Trump did bring it up,

00:02:03.480 but he just didn't want to mention it, which means he's a complete pushover, and if you are voting

00:02:08.360 because you want someone who stands up to Donald Trump, Mark Carney is not your man, or did it not

00:02:13.820 come up? Did it actually not come up? Mark Carney said it didn't come up because that was the truth

00:02:19.480 a few weeks ago, but now that he needs to win the election, suddenly it actually did come up. So,

00:02:25.600 now I need to move over to another clip that I will also be linking in the description below,

00:02:31.440 as well as pinned in the comments, and it's now Carney being caught by the media saying one thing

00:02:38.460 and then saying another thing on another day, claiming that, you know, well, he didn't bring

00:02:43.000 it up. He was actually respectful of our sovereignty. And then he's saying, no, no, he wasn't respectful

00:02:48.000 of our sovereignty, and sources say that it did come up on the phone call. So, what is it? What is it, Mark?

00:02:54.940 March 28th, did President Trump bring up the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state during that call

00:03:01.720 with you? You can even see him, like, looking upward in the fashion that someone usually does

00:03:08.180 when they're trying to think of something quick on the spot to say. I don't want to read too much

00:03:11.920 into the body language, but he always seems uncomfortable whenever he's given tough questions.

00:03:18.580 As I just said, the president brings this up all the time. He brought it up yesterday,

00:03:23.680 he's brought it up before. There's a difference between the conversation that was held between

00:03:29.760 leaders of government, which was this conversation, and a discussion that led directly to

00:03:37.600 an agreement that as sovereign countries, we would have negotiations about our partnership

00:03:45.700 following the election on Monday. I don't even know what he's trying to get at here.

00:03:52.120 So, when the contradiction is pointed out, that you said back in March that he didn't bring it up,

00:03:58.640 and now you're saying he did bring it up, that you're saying, well, there's a difference between

00:04:02.180 a call between two leaders and a discussion. Sorry, did it come up or not? Or did it come up

00:04:08.300 casually and it didn't count back then, but now that you need the votes, it actually did count as

00:04:12.440 something he said? Or did he not mention it at all? You were originally telling the truth when you

00:04:16.580 were way up in the polls, and now that everything's tightened up a lot, maybe Trump did mention it.

00:04:20.640 That's what the president and I agreed. That's what both of us reported back.

00:04:28.420 And that's what I'm ready to do. And what's at stake in this election is how well we come together as a

00:04:39.560 country for those difficult discussions with the Americans. And to be clear, you know,

00:04:48.180 He has not been clear at all yet. He is just filibustering.

00:04:51.640 I have said well before that call and virtually every time that I've spoken since that call

00:05:01.460 that President Trump, the Americans, want to break us so they can own us. 0.84

00:05:08.420 Then why didn't you mention that it came up in the call if it now suddenly was part of the call,

00:05:14.280 but it wasn't back then. All this doesn't matter. Yes, we understand that he brings up the 51st state

00:05:18.880 stuff a lot. But the whole point is that now he needs to insert Donald Trump directly as a character

00:05:24.440 into this controversy and saying, well, last time we called, he wanted us to be part of the 51st state

00:05:30.720 when before, again, he hadn't said that. And now he's just kind of talking in vague generalities

00:05:37.000 where, oh, I've said they want to break us. Okay, you saying you characterizing what you think

00:05:42.140 they're doing does not make up for the why. Those aren't just words. That's what's at risk.

00:05:50.060 That's why we have to build Canada strong. That's why we have to go hard. That's why we have to

00:05:54.940 negotiate properly. That's not why we have to build outside options. That's why we have the plan that we do.

00:06:00.280 That was such a, his like, these aren't just words. It's such a, look at me. I have my serious

00:06:08.880 face on, guys. I totally didn't lie because Canada strong or something like that. It's so sad. It's so

00:06:16.280 hollow. I asked you about this on March 28th after the call, and you said that President Trump respected

00:06:22.760 Canada's sovereignty both privately and in his public conversations. He did. Were you being truthful?

00:06:27.840 He absolutely did. He absolutely did. Look, the president has. Well, who were, where are the

00:06:33.040 sources coming from saying that he wasn't? Certain things in his mind that he reverts back to all the

00:06:40.320 time, but treated me as the prime minister, not as something else. I'm not even going to say the word

00:06:45.980 he used to use about my predecessor. Treated me as the prime minister. We had discussions as sovereign

00:06:52.740 nations. We agreed as sovereign nations that these negotiations will begin after the election on

00:06:59.260 Monday, and that is how it was reported back, and that's absolutely accurate. So that's the

00:07:05.020 treatment. Now, look, the president says lots of things. But your sources said a lot of things about

00:07:10.140 that call, too, and obviously the sources would have had to come from the prime minister's office.

00:07:14.900 It wasn't some random guy saying that Trump brought it up. It would have been someone familiar with the

00:07:19.340 call saying it just this last few days that he had brought it up in that call when you had said on

00:07:24.940 March 28th it didn't. But the essence of the discussion and where we moved the conversation

00:07:30.220 to was exactly what I said. Treated us with respect as a sovereign nation. We have these negotiations

00:07:37.960 coming, and that's, just to be clear, that is what's at stake. Both things are true. The desire

00:07:45.060 desire of the Americans and the president to own us, those aren't just words. That's a desire.

00:07:55.380 And so, but he didn't say it, though. So it's not even, not just words. The words were never even

00:08:00.240 spoken, so you're reading it to subtext that isn't there. The ability of Canada to stand strong,

00:08:06.940 build our own, control our destiny. And in that context, as a sovereign nation, have those

00:08:14.920 discussions. He's just legitimately so bad at this. So yeah, he lied, and his staff lied,

00:08:21.280 and he's still fear-mongering about the United States. At the same time, his own words back in

00:08:26.660 March said, oh yeah, they're not actually, you know, looking to make us the 51st state. When I

00:08:31.140 talk to him, he doesn't really bring it up, which should tell you it was a negotiating tactic from

00:08:35.080 Trump back in, like, from the start in November. He was just mentioning it to throw Canadian diplomats

00:08:41.220 into a tizzy, so then he can maybe try and push us on certain things that he wants, while the Canadian 0.70

00:08:46.500 diplomats and our trade negotiators are too busy talking about the 51st state thing first,

00:08:52.880 instead of putting together a real border and trade plan, which, like we should have been doing,

00:08:58.260 and we had not done, and I don't think we still have done it. Here's a great point from YouTuber

00:09:04.400 J.J. McCullough here. He points out that, again, yeah, this is all just a tactic to drive these

00:09:09.840 stories back to the top of the headlines. He says, in the last 24 hours, the CBC published two breaking

00:09:15.940 news headlines seeking to revive the Trump is coming for us issue. Neither story tells us anything we

00:09:21.720 didn't already know, but they're clearly changing the topic of the campaign to what Carney prefers to

00:09:26.620 talk about, and he has little headlines here. Trump inserts himself into Canadian politics, saying

00:09:31.440 as a state, it works great. Carney says Trump raised 51st state during their call, but the president says

00:09:39.020 a lot of things, so yeah, he did claim it. His staff did claim it, but then when confronted, he says,

00:09:44.600 I never claimed it, and he was respectful of our sovereignty, but I looked at the twinkle in his eye

00:09:52.220 on the phone, and he had said to me with that twinkle, I'm coming for you, and people better vote

00:09:58.300 liberal, or you are going to become the 51st state. It's so pathetic. It's so pathetic. They don't have 0.99

00:10:03.680 any closing argument. The liberals are basically just saying, vote for us, or else, you know, or else

00:10:10.400 Trump is going to do something, even though we keep saying that he's actually been pretty respectful of

00:10:15.960 us once we actually started engaging. It's so dumb. It's just so dumb. The liberals have mostly, 0.99

00:10:23.460 and like I said in a previous video, just gotten, just devolved into petty personal attacks on Peter

00:10:29.680 Polly and the conservatives. It's all shallow. It's all, they're going to cut your CPP. They're

00:10:34.620 going to slash everything you love in this world. They're going to push your mother down the stairs 0.99

00:10:38.140 with no evidence, and then the conservatives are going after the liberals and Carney for their record,

00:10:43.800 for the actual positions they take in a good faith manner. Obviously, everyone hyperbolizes what

00:10:49.620 their opponents are going to do a bit, obviously, but the conservatives have mostly been in the realms

00:10:54.780 of reality in terms of their criticisms of what the liberals have done and what they are going to do,

00:10:59.900 whereas with the liberals on the conservatives and the NDP on the conservatives, it's the most

00:11:04.180 nonsensical stuff ever, that the conservatives are going to use the notwithstanding clause

00:11:09.460 to not just ban abortion. They're going to ban health care in general because they're big,

00:11:14.660 nasty people. It's just sad, and again, the polling shows that this election is tight. The

00:11:22.380 conservatives are leading by some metrics. The liberals are leading by some metrics. The metric

00:11:26.380 I actually find that's interesting is the one I mentioned before. It's, or maybe I didn't mention

00:11:30.740 this video, but Juno News and Abacus Data, Juno was the one who originated it. When you poll people of

00:11:37.340 who's your neighbor going to vote for? The conservatives are either leading 40 to 38, or in Abacus Data's

00:11:44.080 part, on their part. The conservatives are leading 44% to 40%. That is a wide margin, and what Abacus

00:11:53.620 Data may have picked up on, and Juno as well, obviously, is a shy conservative voter. Usually, 1.00

00:11:59.780 the pollsters underestimate the conservatives by, you know, one to four points in the election.

00:12:04.780 Sometimes it's even as high as five or six with some of the really bad pollsters, and right now,

00:12:10.180 we are in a space where it is considered almost treasonous to be voting conservative based on the

00:12:15.500 opinions of some people in the legacy media, and that rubs off onto the average person. The average

00:12:20.600 person is not sophisticated when it comes to how pollsters get their data and all the anonymity kind

00:12:28.280 of, like, rules around it to make sure that you're protecting people's identities. People don't have to

00:12:33.500 read all the rules and regulations around polling before they take a poll, so you're going to get a lot of

00:12:37.480 people who, when they hear it's a pollster and they're voting conservative, they don't want to

00:12:40.580 admit they're voting conservative because apparently that's bad, and they hang up the phone, or maybe

00:12:44.600 they even tell the pollster, I'm voting liberal, which is part of a response bias. A response bias

00:12:49.680 is partially who picks up the phone, so if liberals are excited, they'll pick up the phone more, and it's

00:12:54.160 also those who will respond in ways they think the pollster wants them to respond, because frankly,

00:12:59.620 people can be weird, and they can assume things that really aren't there, like, well, if I say

00:13:04.700 conservative on the phone, maybe that gets out, maybe that's going to hurt me in the view of my

00:13:09.920 neighbors who are extremely liberal. It's not how it works, and I think the neighbor polling is

00:13:14.420 actually very interesting that we see that people who are voting liberal even admit at higher rates

00:13:19.820 than conservatives that their neighbors are voting conservative. But anyways, so that should be it for

00:13:24.560 me today, guys. Thank you for watching the show. Make sure to drop a like on this video, subscribe to the
