The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Mark Carney FAILS miserably in his first press conference!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here.

00:00:03.200 Conservatives can be very funny people.

00:00:05.880 As a conservative myself, it's been humorous watching so many in the conservative movement

00:00:10.940 very concerned about the electoral power of Mark Carney.

00:00:16.000 Did you guys see that press conference he did yesterday?

00:00:19.780 Mark Carney can't get through a press conference with friendly media only

00:00:24.540 without shooting himself in the foot.

00:00:26.720 I am convinced if we tied Mark Carney's hands behind his back and blindfolded him, 0.81

00:00:32.840 he would still find a way of shooting himself in the foot.

00:00:36.300 There was about four instances of him absolutely scuffing an answer in this press conference,

00:00:42.720 despite the fact that it should be very easy to at least lie to dodge a question that he doesn't like.

00:00:49.120 Even when he liked the question, even when the question was softball pitched to him,

00:00:54.540 he somehow still screwed it up.

00:00:56.220 He even screwed up his commitment to get rid of the carbon tax

00:01:00.440 because he's now endorsed the idea of having carbon taxes again.

00:01:06.040 This press conference was so bad, he got into it with Rosemary Barton,

00:01:11.220 who I no doubt has had her Justin Trudeau tattoo, I assume she has,

00:01:16.320 crossed out and replaced by a Mark Carney tattoo,

00:01:19.180 because she is in favor of whoever the liberal leader is, always.

00:01:23.080 In fact, he belittled her in this press conference,

00:01:26.560 and Rosemary still went out on social media to attack conservatives over it, 1.00

00:01:30.900 because of course, it's the conservatives' fault that Mark Carney attacked and belittled her.

00:01:37.000 Anyways, I'm going to get into this press conference in just a second here.

00:01:40.700 I want to start off with a global news question about his personal assets that he's put into a blind trust,

00:01:47.060 then go into the situation with Rosemary Barton.

00:01:49.900 Then we will be transitioning on to his stuff about America and the carbon tax.

00:01:55.840 It was a wall-to-wall disaster.

00:01:57.880 But before I get into it, guys, make sure to like this video if you like the channel,

00:02:03.680 subscribe if you like these videos and you haven't yet subscribed,

00:02:07.280 and leave a comment on anything you find particularly interesting about what we have going on here,

00:02:12.540 or other stuff you want me to note.

00:02:14.660 Even if I don't comment back or like what you guys post,

00:02:17.940 I always try and scroll through to see what people think.

00:02:20.500 Anyways, without further ado,

00:02:22.680 here is Mark Carney getting into it with the global news journalist

00:02:26.120 about his personal assets in the blind trust.

00:02:29.600 Hello.

00:02:30.840 Mr. Carney, Stephanie Levitz with Globe and Mail.

00:02:33.720 Sorry, it's the Globe and Mail, not Global News.

00:02:36.020 I understand that you have now placed your assets in a blind trust,

00:02:38.920 so you don't know what's happening to them going forward,

00:02:42.240 but you knew what they were going into that blind trust.

00:02:45.360 So what are they?

00:02:47.780 Look, Stephanie,

00:02:49.080 I follow the rules of the ethics commissioner.

00:02:53.740 I'm following them well in advance of any of the requirements,

00:02:57.700 as you know, because I know you know this,

00:03:01.020 you know that these...

00:03:02.360 He's so condescending.

00:03:04.140 This is how you would talk to somebody if you're their boss

00:03:07.560 and you're trying to indicate that I'm a little better than you.

00:03:10.940 Doesn't call her Miss Levitt.

00:03:13.040 He calls her Stephanie.

00:03:14.460 You already know this.

00:03:15.680 I know that you know this, talking about how I'm following all the rules

00:03:19.740 about how I put my assets into the blind trust, and I've done everything.

00:03:23.940 Everyone understands that you follow the rules about putting yourself in a blind trust.

00:03:28.080 But he's pretending once he puts his assets in a blind trust,

00:03:32.600 I don't even know what the assets look like anymore.

00:03:34.980 They've been in the blind trust for five seconds.

00:03:37.320 It could be anything. 1.00

00:03:38.360 It's the dumbest argument ever. 1.00

00:03:41.820 Just tell people, 0.99

00:03:42.940 how much money do you have in housing?

00:03:44.580 How much money do you have in oil and gas?

00:03:46.440 In green projects?

00:03:47.840 Just tell us.

00:03:49.040 We just want to know that if your government starts handing out subsidies

00:03:52.280 to particular industries,

00:03:54.060 and certain companies that you have a lot of money invested into

00:03:56.600 start getting disproportionate subsidies,

00:03:58.620 that we know whether or not that actually looks like a conflict of interest,

00:04:02.560 or your company that you have money invested in

00:04:05.560 just happened to out-compete everyone else because they made a better offer.

00:04:09.160 But he doesn't want to do that because it makes them look bad.

00:04:11.840 And running away from the question is what makes you look the worst?

00:04:16.340 These requirements come into effect in months.

00:04:19.960 We're talking days after I became prime minister.

00:04:23.700 So I'm complying with the rules of the ethics commissioner,

00:04:27.060 going through the processes and all those things that are necessary.

00:04:30.000 The rules say that those assets should be publicly disclosed within 120 days,

00:04:34.160 which means you'll campaign in a coming federal election,

00:04:38.040 most likely within the next 120 days,

00:04:39.960 and are serving as prime minister now,

00:04:41.920 with Canadians not being aware of what potential conflicts of interest...

00:04:45.460 What possible conflict would you have?

00:04:47.880 Stephanie, I'm complying with the rules.

00:04:49.760 I'm complying with the rules in advance.

00:04:53.000 I can name one.

00:04:56.200 His company, Brookfield Asset Management,

00:04:58.380 that he used to be the chair of,

00:05:00.320 that he obviously would have invested in all the ventures that Brookfield was in,

00:05:04.340 that they were supporting pipelines in countries like the UAE and Brazil,

00:05:09.080 at the same time he was opposing pipelines in Canada.

00:05:12.340 In fact, opposing pipelines in Canada

00:05:14.780 necessarily means that his investments in pipelines in Brazil and the UAE

00:05:19.480 are worth more.

00:05:20.860 Because if more pipelines come onto the field in Canada,

00:05:25.080 that means the value of pipelines everywhere else falls,

00:05:29.140 because in North America,

00:05:30.740 we'd rather use oil and gas that's right here,

00:05:34.220 rather than in some far-off distant land.

00:05:38.180 But I'll let this finish up with Mark Carney still just trying to dodge the idea.

00:05:42.640 Well, I'm complying actually ahead of time.

00:05:44.400 I didn't have to disclose or put anything in a blind trust for several,

00:05:48.420 for a couple months now.

00:05:50.600 Who cares?

00:05:51.900 The whole point is that you won't tell us what's in it.

00:05:53.940 You are not over to any conflict of interest.

00:05:57.220 Yes.

00:05:57.480 John has spent most of his life in the private sector.

00:06:00.100 There's no possible conflict of interest in your assets.

00:06:03.600 It's very difficult to believe.

00:06:07.020 Look inside yourself, Rosemary.

00:06:09.180 This is the Rosemary Barton moment.

00:06:12.180 She asked basically,

00:06:13.560 it's hard to believe that someone who's been in the private sector for this long

00:06:17.280 doesn't have a conflict of interest with all the various investments he has.

00:06:20.960 The man's worth like $50 million.

00:06:22.760 He has money invested in a lot of things.

00:06:24.380 So we just want to know what could potentially be a conflict of interest.

00:06:27.540 In fact, if he just said,

00:06:29.420 here's all my companies,

00:06:30.640 and you can ascertain what the potential conflicts of interest are,

00:06:34.000 but I'm going to avoid investing anything in these companies like the plague.

00:06:38.240 I'm not going to give any special handouts,

00:06:40.060 anything I'm invested in.

00:06:41.180 If he was transparent, it would help him.

00:06:43.420 In fact, he's doing what Andrew Scheer did in 2019.

00:06:47.300 And I don't dislike Andrew Scheer.

00:06:49.240 But what Andrew Scheer did is that every time he was asked a pro-life question from the media,

00:06:54.360 he would run away from the question.

00:06:56.300 If he was just saying,

00:06:57.020 yeah, I'm pro-life and I will vote in a pro-life direction

00:06:59.360 and other members of my caucus can vote how they like,

00:07:02.080 the questions would go away.

00:07:03.700 Running away from something where if he just said what the truth is,

00:07:07.240 the whole situation would go away.

00:07:08.700 But he just can't handle it because he's so risk averse.

00:07:11.900 You start from a prior of conflict and ill will.

00:07:21.200 He thinks Rosemary Barton has ill will towards him.

00:07:25.080 You have to be drunk or high to think that Rosemary Barton 0.54

00:07:28.300 has any bone in her body that dislikes a liberal.

00:07:33.580 I have served in the private sector.

00:07:36.380 I have stood up for Canada.

00:07:38.060 I have left my roles in the private sector at a time of crisis for our country.

00:07:45.920 I'm complying with all the rules.

00:07:49.340 Your line of questioning is trying to invent new rules.

00:07:52.400 I'm complying with the rules that Parliament has laid out

00:07:56.600 and the responsibilities of the ethics commissioner.

00:07:58.420 And I will continue to comply with those rules.

00:08:04.180 This is why he's just like Justin Trudeau.

00:08:07.980 And I'm not just trying to use that slogan because the conservatives use it.

00:08:10.940 I really honestly usually hate slogans.

00:08:12.720 It's just descriptively correct right now.

00:08:15.720 That he does the bare minimum to comply with ethical standards.

00:08:20.420 And then when anyone asks for any more, he talks down to them.

00:08:25.240 That was Mark Carney talking down to media allies of him,

00:08:29.220 where if he gave them anything to work with,

00:08:31.700 they would swing right behind him and say,

00:08:33.620 he's the most transparent man on the planet.

00:08:36.060 In fact, he doesn't just not have any conflicts of interest.

00:08:38.680 He has anti-conflicts of interest.

00:08:40.760 If he gives money to his own companies,

00:08:42.380 that's actually demonstrating how ethical he is

00:08:44.900 because he told us he was invested in them in the first place.

00:08:48.200 This is what people like Rosemary Barton are like. 1.00

00:08:50.660 Remember, him talking down to Rosemary Barton there,

00:08:54.040 as well as Levitt,

00:08:56.720 scored Rosemary Barton,

00:08:58.640 for some reason, an opportunity to attack conservatives.

00:09:01.800 Because she's like, ooh, conservatives won't come on my show,

00:09:04.160 and yet they're critiquing Mark Carney belittling me.

00:09:06.780 It's like, conservatives never get invited onto your show.

00:09:10.420 The only time you invite a conservative

00:09:11.840 is when you want to grill them for something unfair,

00:09:13.940 and they're just not going to comply with your struggle session. 0.98

00:09:17.220 Utterly ridiculous.

00:09:18.100 But let's move on to another issue, 0.83

00:09:21.380 and that is of the carbon tax.

00:09:25.440 Somehow, Mark Carney actually believes

00:09:27.960 that now Canada needs a carbon tax

00:09:31.340 in order to be competitive on trade.

00:09:33.500 I thought the carbon tax was divisive and bad,

00:09:35.760 as he said.

00:09:36.780 Or, Mark Carney's really just demonstrating who he is,

00:09:39.800 and now he's in favor of the carbon tax again,

00:09:41.700 now that he has a convenient excuse saying,

00:09:44.500 oh, countries won't trade with us unless we have a carbon tax.

00:09:47.040 So that's why he's going to increase the industrial carbon tax

00:09:50.100 even more to make up for him

00:09:52.900 reducing the carbon tax rate on consumers to zero.

00:09:55.780 And by the way,

00:09:56.760 this means that people are going to pay

00:09:58.560 as much, if not more, in the carbon tax than before.

00:10:00.860 It doesn't matter who the tax is on.

00:10:03.240 A tax on anybody in a domestic economy

00:10:05.720 means it's a tax on everybody.

00:10:08.080 In Canada today,

00:10:10.240 your political opponent,

00:10:12.180 Mr. Polly has said

00:10:13.120 that he would ask the industrial price on carbon.

00:10:16.520 And I'd like to understand from you,

00:10:18.940 if you think that at this time

00:10:20.500 with all the threats

00:10:21.880 against many of our big mainstay industries,

00:10:25.060 which also are large emitters,

00:10:26.720 if you think that your plan to tax them

00:10:29.580 remains a viable and publicly supported plan?

00:10:34.400 Yeah.

00:10:34.520 So our plan,

00:10:38.220 and in fact,

00:10:39.580 the regime that's in place in Canada

00:10:41.460 and a variant of this regime is...

00:10:44.560 It goes on forever.

00:10:45.620 I actually just want to play

00:10:46.440 the shorter clip of this that Polly have played.

00:10:49.380 He goes on forever here,

00:10:50.300 but here's the 19 second version

00:10:51.760 where he claims that you have to

00:10:53.740 have the carbon tax

00:10:54.980 in order to be like economically viable.

00:10:57.560 Guess what one of the requirements is

00:10:59.140 to diversify trade to the European Union?

00:11:01.380 Guess what one of the requirements is

00:11:02.800 to diversify trade

00:11:03.780 to the United Kingdom?

00:11:04.860 Guess what one of the requirements will be

00:11:06.880 to diversify trade to emerging Asia?

00:11:11.080 Is to have a form of price on carbon.

00:11:14.040 So we are able to think one step ahead. 0.96

00:11:17.420 That's also utterly ridiculous.

00:11:20.160 Do you think China has a carbon tax 0.84

00:11:22.180 or India has a carbon tax?

00:11:24.120 Heck no.

00:11:25.240 Do you think that they actually care?

00:11:26.920 Even the European Union,

00:11:28.380 they can be as sanctimonious as they want.

00:11:30.780 They will take Canadian oil and gas products

00:11:33.260 if you give it to them. 0.87

00:11:34.780 Here's another absolutely silly thing 0.95

00:11:38.440 he did in this press conference. 0.97

00:11:39.740 He will not go down and meet with Donald Trump.

00:11:42.840 You know, the main problem

00:11:44.020 we're having with trade right now,

00:11:45.520 yet he won't engage with it.

00:11:47.620 It's not a good tactic

00:11:48.740 because he's not positioning himself at all.

00:11:50.680 He's not even saying,

00:11:51.920 no, he can come to me and talk.

00:11:53.340 That would be a position of strength.

00:11:54.480 He's just ignoring it.

00:11:55.660 He went to France and the UK,

00:11:57.120 now he's in Nunavut.

00:11:58.560 He just keeps going to random locations

00:12:01.100 that are not going to solve our trade problems

00:12:03.780 because he is avoiding any amount

00:12:06.780 of perceived rhetorical conflict.

00:12:09.580 He's also not calling out China

00:12:11.600 and the CCP for threatening

00:12:13.380 a 100% tariff on canola oil,

00:12:18.040 other agricultural products,

00:12:19.600 and seafood products,

00:12:20.900 which would devastate

00:12:22.580 not only the Saskatchewan economy for canola,

00:12:24.940 but B.C. and Nova Scotia.

00:12:28.500 And this guy won't call it out

00:12:29.800 because he's in favor of the CCP.

00:12:31.520 He doesn't care what the CCP does.

00:12:33.100 Behind closed doors,

00:12:34.960 did any of the leaders you met with today

00:12:37.260 offer assurances that they would have Canada's back

00:12:40.820 if Donald Trump uses greater economic force

00:12:43.660 or more to annex or absorb Canada?

00:12:46.520 Well, I would know.

00:12:49.480 Look, let me state the obvious,

00:12:51.700 which is that both all of us are members of NATO.

00:12:56.860 All of us have respect to Article 5 of NATO.

00:13:00.580 So the or more part of your question is unthinkable.

00:13:05.520 What we did discuss is particularly with France

00:13:12.020 is deeper security and military cooperation,

00:13:15.540 which is in the interest of overall global security.

00:13:19.020 And we did discuss in both cases

00:13:20.900 deepening of our economic ties.

00:13:23.120 Thank you.

00:13:24.380 What does that even mean? 0.99

00:13:26.300 Also, it's just stupid anti-American stuff. 0.99

00:13:30.360 He basically admitted that's why he's going 0.99

00:13:32.220 and talking to France and the UK.

00:13:33.420 Prime Minister Mike with CTV News.

00:13:37.100 I take your point earlier on a number of our allies

00:13:39.260 talking about our sovereignty today,

00:13:41.940 but nobody's come out forcefully

00:13:43.880 and said those comments about the 51st state

00:13:46.620 are just not on.

00:13:48.580 Do you think that our traditional allies

00:13:50.600 are not sticking their necks out

00:13:52.540 because they're concerned that if they say something

00:13:54.860 that'll anger President Trump,

00:13:56.600 that they'll be next?

00:13:58.420 That they'll be next?

00:13:59.940 That Trump's going to annex the UK and France?

00:14:02.520 No.

00:14:02.680 It's a joke. 1.00

00:14:04.600 It's a joke to throw stupid people 1.00

00:14:06.560 like Justin Trudeau off balance by saying, 1.00

00:14:08.520 oh, maybe Canada should be the 51st state.

00:14:10.420 I think I would take seriously

00:14:16.040 what the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said today.

00:14:20.040 Look, I don't think one needs to respond

00:14:23.780 to every comment about another country.

00:14:28.340 Look, we can stand up for ourselves.

00:14:32.240 Canada is strong.

00:14:33.000 We can stand up for ourselves.

00:14:33.960 We've called out those comments.

00:14:36.900 They're disrespectful.

00:14:38.880 They're not helpful.

00:14:40.420 And they need to stop before,

00:14:42.060 and they will have to stop before we sit down

00:14:44.260 and have a conversation about our broader partnership

00:14:47.440 with the United States.

00:14:48.340 But we're Canada.

00:14:50.460 We don't need other people to come to our...

00:14:52.640 So he's not going to talk to the United States

00:14:54.860 to solve the trade issue

00:14:56.580 in which I don't think we have to give up anything.

00:14:59.440 We just basically have to sit down

00:15:01.080 and, like, give Trump a rhetorical moment

00:15:03.900 where, hey, we're on board now

00:15:05.780 and everyone can win.

00:15:07.460 Was the whole situation silly from the beginning?

00:15:09.660 Yeah.

00:15:09.920 At least it kind of forced Canada

00:15:12.340 to take border security more seriously,

00:15:14.060 which we hadn't been taking seriously before.

00:15:15.980 Was that fully what motivated Trump?

00:15:17.780 Probably not.

00:15:18.700 Trump is also just trying to get wins

00:15:20.140 from people who have wronged him in the past,

00:15:22.260 like Justin Trudeau mocking him and whatnot.

00:15:25.580 Yeah, it was petty.

00:15:26.640 At the same time, it's even more petty

00:15:28.180 that now we won't sit down with him

00:15:30.020 until he, like, rescinds his joke.

00:15:33.720 By the way, watch all these clips

00:15:35.920 of Mark Carney in this press conference,

00:15:37.600 and he's just horrible on camera.

00:15:39.300 This should have taken me.

00:15:41.380 I'm sorry we've had to watch through so many clips,

00:15:44.000 but each of these statements he's made

00:15:45.760 should have taken, like, 20 seconds to say.

00:15:48.240 And he's going, well, you know,

00:15:51.720 I've been talking to our allies,

00:15:53.480 and we had long sit-down discussions,

00:15:56.180 and I defer to what the UK prime minister said.

00:16:00.800 Like, just is not made for TV.

00:16:03.520 This is, I've heard people say,

00:16:05.040 well, you know, people shouldn't underestimate

00:16:07.220 Mark Carney in a debate.

00:16:08.780 I'm like, I'm not underestimating

00:16:10.320 Mark Carney in a debate.

00:16:11.340 I am properly estimating 0.99

00:16:12.740 that he would suck in a debate with Pierre Pollyup, 0.99

00:16:15.140 because he has, like, no energy. 0.99

00:16:17.880 He is the definition of a bad politician.

00:16:21.780 Use the acronym BAD. 1.00

00:16:23.440 He is boring, annoying, and dumb. 1.00

00:16:27.220 Anyways, so that should be probably it for me today. 0.99

00:16:30.680 I think the Carney honeymoon is going to end sooner than people think,

00:16:35.020 because the lack of any real strength or charisma is going to catch up to him,

00:16:39.600 and that he wasn't what people were wanting to dream that he was.

00:16:42.940 I even showed you in the Angus Reid poll yesterday,

00:16:46.400 which is not a good poll,

00:16:47.980 but even in that poll,

00:16:49.640 which I think is overestimating how many liberals are out there,

00:16:52.820 when you poll liberals on whether or not they are definitely going to be voting liberal,

00:16:56.820 they are far more unsure if they are actually voting liberal than conservatives are.

00:17:02.020 People who are definitely voting conservative,

00:17:03.920 who are committed right now,

00:17:05.160 is 66% of people who pick CPC in a poll.

00:17:09.180 The amount of liberals who are very sure

00:17:11.780 that they are going to be showing up and voting liberal is only 49.

00:17:15.460 That's a 17-point gap of very likely voters to show up.

00:17:19.720 In fact, then the liberals had far more people saying

00:17:22.620 that they're very unlikely to be showing up

00:17:24.740 or somewhat unlikely to show up and vote in this next election.

00:17:28.540 It was like 5% for the conservatives

00:17:30.240 that were fairly unlikely to be showing up

00:17:33.020 compared to 10% fairly unlikely to show up for the liberals.

00:17:37.420 That's terrible.

00:17:38.580 And I think that is indicative of a honeymoon

00:17:40.840 that is built on sand

00:17:42.480 and will collapse as soon as any real struggle happens.

00:17:46.140 And I think this is almost starting to be enough.

00:17:48.580 The fact that he can't get through a press conference

00:17:50.400 without generating scandals is a problem

00:17:53.440 when he's going to have to campaign

00:17:54.940 and speak to the media every single day.

00:17:57.400 You really can't hide from the media in a Canadian election

00:18:00.040 because it's so short

00:18:02.180 that if people don't even remember

00:18:04.100 he actually spoke to the media once,

00:18:05.960 it's going to be very apparent

00:18:07.240 because Canadians will not be paying attention

00:18:09.960 during the normal year.

00:18:11.320 And then as soon as the election gets called,

00:18:13.300 everyone starts really focusing on that 30 days.

00:18:16.300 So if you look bad in that 30 days,

00:18:18.280 that's all people know about him

00:18:19.660 is that 30 days.

00:18:21.880 But anyways, so that's truly it now.

00:18:24.220 I always end up rambling on another topic

00:18:25.880 before I actually end it.
