The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Poilievre confronts lying media about RCMP corruption!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here. The more the liberal government is exposed for having no

00:00:06.160 clue what they're doing, the more the media attacks Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev.

00:00:12.320 We need to talk about this press conference that he just did earlier today, where the media is

00:00:18.100 still attempting to go after him on his comments that Justin Trudeau should have been charged for

00:00:23.580 corruption, and that the RCMP effectively helped the liberal government cover it up by not asking

00:00:29.500 for asking too many questions or asking for all the documentation. So we're going to go through

00:00:35.340 this video, and then I also want to go into the House of Commons and show the exchange that Polyev

00:00:40.180 had with House Leader Steve McKinnon today. By the way, in my last video, I said Dominic LeBlanc when

00:00:46.580 we were talking about a video of Steve McKinnon. I get those two mixed up sometimes. I am sorry.

00:00:53.260 But before we get into all these clips, I do just want to talk about the Calgary mayoral election.

00:00:58.500 Right now, there are going to be recounts for the mayor's race. It is razor thin. I don't think

00:01:04.980 it's going to change the outcome. It could. Obviously, it could mean that Farkas' lead just

00:01:10.260 grows. But I'm going to do a bigger video on it once everything is finalized, just in case you

00:01:16.140 don't want a video to become poorly aged because we talk about Mayor Farkas, and then it flips over

00:01:21.020 the sharp. At the very least, we can say, hey, Gondek is not the mayor. I was right about the dynamics

00:01:27.380 of the race. Gondek ended up becoming our Laurie Lightfoot of Calgary, an incumbent who comes an

00:01:34.180 embarrassing distant third place up against her two other rivals. Now, I'd prefer it was sharp that

00:01:40.620 one, but hopefully because the majority of council this time looks to be at least center to center

00:01:46.720 right. Maybe Farkas will have to go along with that crowd to actually fix a bunch of issues, 0.99

00:01:51.460 even though I am deeply, deeply skeptical of his political views these days. But anyways,

00:01:57.700 now let's get into Pierre Polly at this press conference where the media is hounding him

00:02:03.200 about his comments on the Northern Perspective channel about Trudeau and the RCMP.

00:02:08.260 All of your MPs will still be conservative MPs.

00:02:11.140 Yes.

00:02:11.760 You went too far in saying the prime minister, former prime minister, should be in jail.

00:02:16.180 That's not what I said.

00:02:16.940 And he's right. The media has taken what he said, basically saying that Trudeau probably

00:02:25.040 should have been charged, and they've turned it and extrapolated the comment out to, oh,

00:02:29.920 he thinks Trudeau should have been locked up behind bars and only fed gruel for the next 30 years.

00:02:35.520 No, he said that Trudeau escaped being charged because the RCMP dropped the ball on the investigation,

00:02:42.740 whether intentional or not. They did, again, they did not dig down the way that they should have

00:02:48.160 if you were investigating corruption in government. And now everyone's clutching their parole saying,

00:02:52.280 oh, he wants to jail his political opponents. How much money do you have to steal as a prime

00:02:57.900 minister before you are allowed to actually be charged or held accountable? Now, I don't mean

00:03:02.600 steal like it's in Trudeau's vault right now, but in terms of deliberately wasting money,

00:03:08.080 deliberately funneling money towards your friends. At some point, when does government graft

00:03:13.540 actually become criminal without it being considered too partisan to go after the person?

00:03:18.820 But let's get back to this clip. Sorry.

00:03:20.780 Repeat what you said.

00:03:21.620 Sure. I'll tell you what I said. I was asked about the scandals of the last 10 years of the

00:03:26.000 liberal government. And what would I do if such scandals and corruption were to happen

00:03:30.860 when I become prime minister? And I said I would have zero tolerance for corruption. Nobody is above the law.

00:03:37.020 So if I could, if I could, if I could, in certain cases, I think there were scandals in the liberal

00:03:42.460 government that would be appropriately punished in that way. You think of the green slush fund, 0.96

00:03:47.100 where individuals were appointed to a board to manage public funds. And what did they do with it?

00:03:53.980 They gave it to themselves. To me, that is a crime for which they should have been held responsible.

00:04:00.720 People have got to be held responsible for corruption. And if you look at my remarks,

00:04:04.900 that's what I said. We will hold people accountable for corruption.

00:04:08.960 And then the same thing can apply to SNC-Lavalin, to We Charity, to a lot of other things where

00:04:14.780 somebody was obviously taking gifts that were not at all ethical to take, or they were effectively

00:04:21.520 getting like a favored company off of criminal charges, off of a ban list on federal infrastructure,

00:04:28.820 simply because of government connections. The idea that you can't charge means that it's going to

00:04:36.440 increase corruption. If no one can ever be held accountable, then nobody is going to be accountable.

00:04:40.840 They are just going to act however they want.

00:04:42.960 Do you still think the RCMP covered it up?

00:04:47.020 My criticisms of Ms. Lucky have been longstanding. And that's why we called for her to resign.

00:04:53.180 We called for her to resign for a number of numerous scandals that she and the RCMP failed

00:04:58.460 to investigate for the political interference, the appalling political interference in the

00:05:03.720 Portapix shooting case and countless others. We've had longstanding criticisms of Ms. Lucky,

00:05:09.160 the former commissioner, and we stand by those three. And that was the thing that was so obnoxious

00:05:14.240 about the media coverage of all this. They would act like, oh wow, Polly really hates the police.

00:05:20.740 Like, what are you talking about? Do you think any average rank and file officer likes Brenda Lucky?

00:05:27.940 Do you think they like the current commissioner? No. These are political hacks who ended up getting

00:05:33.360 their way to the top of the totem pole on the RCMP, not because they're good cops, because they're

00:05:38.300 loyal to, you know, the powers that be. They're the type of people who very much go along with

00:05:44.200 DEI type stuff that the liberals are favoring or gun control. Like we had that sergeant or that 0.86

00:05:49.380 captain of the Cape Breton police who was talking about how this is very good that we're rolling

00:05:54.140 out this gun buyback and I support it and we need guns off the streets. Do you think that that guy's

00:05:59.380 stupid enough to think that taking away some guy's uncle's shotgun from his farm is going to make 1.00

00:06:04.960 people more safe? Of course, he doesn't think that. But if you want to try and become deputy 1.00

00:06:10.740 commissioner and then the full commissioner of the RCMP one day, you have to say a lot 1.00

00:06:15.240 of stupid things to get there. And I think you get a lot of people in the RCMP who are not 0.99

00:06:19.960 going up the ranks because they're good cops, but because, again, they're politically favored

00:06:25.680 officers.

00:06:26.680 We skip when they talk in French because I don't want to do this. I wish that some conservatives

00:06:40.680 were upset by what you said about the RCMP. Well, listen, my view is that conservatives all

00:06:45.680 agree on one thing. People should be held accountable for corruption and my future government will

00:06:50.180 do that. People will be held to the highest standard. And if there is if there is ever

00:06:55.080 corruption, when I'm prime minister, the people involved will be fired and their case is turned

00:06:59.420 over to the police. 0.99

00:07:00.180 This is such a stupid thing for the liberals and the media, the media on the left to try 1.00

00:07:06.620 and be pushing on. You're really trying to create a big uproar over an issue when Canadians 1.00

00:07:12.020 hear more than 20 seconds of what what was said. They're like, well, of course, he's right.

00:07:16.700 You should be holding these people accountable. Obviously, it's such a dumb rope to be pulling 0.98

00:07:22.020 on if you're the left that I can't believe he wants people charged. Well, for what? If 0.80

00:07:28.240 you explain to people for what he wants them charged for, they're like, oh, absolutely.

00:07:31.520 People are getting away with that. That's crazy.

00:07:33.220 I have not been consulted on that. No.

00:07:38.440 Mistaken suggesting that Prime Minister Trudeau should have gone to jail.

00:07:42.460 That's not what I said. If you look at my remarks.

00:07:44.300 It's just so wild. They're trying to turn this into a circus. Now, what they're trying

00:07:55.320 to do is they're trying to hype up this idea that three conservative MPs may cross the floor

00:07:59.920 to the liberals. And apparently it's about these comments. I think that's complete nonsense

00:08:04.820 when I started seeing that being reported by Trending Politics. And it's not Trending Politics's

00:08:08.840 fault. They're just putting out what the rumor is that's spreading around. I think it's people

00:08:13.320 deliberately putting out bad rumors because they need attention off of Mark Carney right

00:08:17.860 now because he's the most apparent man with a plan that is taking more than six months

00:08:22.540 to come up with what the plan is.

00:08:24.340 It was so bad. I was on a Rebel News live stream today and somebody made the point very succinctly

00:08:30.120 that Stephen Gilbeau is talking about how he'd like to see as the heritage minister or official

00:08:36.380 languages minister more money injected into the CBC. But he doesn't know if there's actually

00:08:42.360 more money for the CBC in the budget. You've had six months to work on this and your own ministers

00:08:47.500 don't know what's in the budget related to their own files. It's absolutely pathetic. 0.99

00:08:52.460 You think that would be one of the top line numbers, very easy for even backbench MPs to 0.95

00:08:56.440 know off the top of their head that like how much money is the CBC going to get this year?

00:09:00.600 And he doesn't know because the liberals don't know what they're doing at all. In fact, again,

00:09:04.320 like we talked about yesterday when Steve McKinnon was talking to the media, he literally vocalized

00:09:09.800 that he is worried about if the budget can pass or not. Now, people are saying maybe the liberals

00:09:14.720 want the budget not to pass because they think it's their time to get a majority.

00:09:18.340 No, I guarantee you not. The media and the liberal party would not be attacking

00:09:24.720 Kiripolyev as much as they are right now if they didn't perceive him as a threat. If the liberals

00:09:31.140 were actually doing well, they'd just keep puttering along because they could probably bully the NDP

00:09:36.180 into supporting them because if the government is doing a good job, the NDP would look bad to try

00:09:39.800 and trip them up. They actually think there's probably a chance that the NDP may just kill the

00:09:44.440 party right now or kill the government and go to a new election because, hey, even if you have your

00:09:49.020 interim leader, Don Davies, leading the party, if there's enough blood in the water, even the NDP

00:09:53.760 could end up hitting the target on a few of these ridings and pick up some extra seats.

00:09:58.320 You know, even the NDP doesn't suck at politics this much that they can't go from seven seats to 15.

00:10:03.520 Now, though, we need to go to the live stream today of Question Period because the exchanges between

00:10:12.280 Polly Evans, Stephen McKinnon were quite great. I'm going to do that in just a minute.

00:10:17.040 But before I do that, guys, before we bring it on screen, I do have to remind you, if you like the

00:10:23.060 channel, make sure to leave a like on the video, subscribe if you are not yet a subscriber, and of

00:10:27.960 course, leave a comment on what you think about everything going on right now. I think there's a

00:10:33.220 lot of just political games being played and not for, it's not, I was going to say not for election

00:10:38.860 reasons, but what I mean when I say this, I mean, like, it's not the liberals playing games because

00:10:45.860 they're up to something. They're on the run, and they're just tossing stuff behind them. They're

00:10:50.880 running from the conservatives, and they're just dropping any sharp objects they can find on, like,

00:10:55.620 they could find while they run away to try and gain some distance and trip Polly about because he's on 0.99

00:11:00.460 their tail now. We looked at the polling yesterday, the liberals right after the election jumped up to

00:11:05.960 having an average of a nine point lead over the conservatives. Now their lead is about a point and a

00:11:11.020 half. And by the way, the conservative vote is actually more efficient than the liberal vote is

00:11:16.060 these days, meaning that if the liberals get 100,000 votes, maybe they win three seats. But if the

00:11:22.200 conservatives get 100,000 votes, we're just talking about the national numbers.

00:11:25.260 Every 100,000 votes nationally that the conservatives are getting is resulting in four seats. So that's

00:11:30.320 where the liberals have to be extremely careful because they could go into a new election and win

00:11:35.480 the popular vote and lose the government. The conservatives came with an 8,000 votes of having

00:11:40.820 a minority government in the closest ridings. Even though, even though they lost the entire popular

00:11:48.180 vote by 2.3 percent, they were literally like a 0.1 percent of the way from winning the entire thing,

00:11:54.760 and at least getting the minority government. But here we go with the question period today,

00:12:01.100 and Paulie, of going after the House leader. Obviously, the Prime Minister is not too interested

00:12:06.220 in answering a lot of these questions today. He does a little bit of a back and forth, but

00:12:09.780 eventually he drops out. I believe he starts going back and forth with Steve McKinnon here.

00:12:13.820 Oh, no, it is Carney today. Okay, never mind. I thought it was Steve McKinnon,

00:12:17.560 but there's something else I want to bring up later then.

00:12:23.900 Mr. Speaker, today I will be meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the 10th liberal budget.

00:12:31.700 We, the conservatives, want an affordable budget so Canadians can have an affordable life.

00:12:38.480 Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister did not keep his promise to spend less. He doubled the deficit he

00:12:46.460 inherited, and now the inflation rates are climbing. In fact, all measures are higher than the Bank of

00:12:55.360 Canada target. Will the Prime Minister agree to what we're looking for, for an affordable life for

00:13:02.160 Canadians?

00:13:02.660 The right Honourable Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, it will be an affordable budget and an ambitious...

00:13:14.240 An affordable budget. They're going to be over $60 billion into the deficit, but it's going to be affordable somehow.

00:13:20.840 One, affordable for operational expenditures. We will clean up operational expenditures, but we will be

00:13:32.780 investing in Canada. This will be the largest investment in our country, in the history of our country.

00:13:40.440 Invest means spend money.

00:13:41.900 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:13:43.720 Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what this liberal government promised 10 years ago. But what's the

00:13:53.820 result? They doubled the debt, they doubled weight lines at food banks, doubled the cost of housing,

00:13:59.560 and investments have dropped, more so here in Canada than in any other G7 country and in the history of

00:14:07.200 Canada. Today, there are 2 million Canadians who need to turn to food banks. And food inflation is

00:14:16.740 skyrocketing. Will the Prime Minister learn from his lessons, reduce deficits, and eliminate hidden taxes

00:14:25.620 on food?

00:14:27.760 The right Honourable Prime Minister.

00:14:29.420 Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, as I've just said, this will be a cleaning up of operational expenditures for the

00:14:38.960 first time in a decade in this country. Second.

00:14:45.060 Okay. One, it's getting annoying listening to them in French. But goodness, we're cleaning up 1.00

00:14:51.620 operational expenses. How do you have such a big deficit, though? This wasn't like you had to put

00:14:55.900 together an emergency budget so a lot of the cost-saving measures can't be done until next

00:14:59.680 year because it's just too short of a timeline. You took six months and you didn't figure out how

00:15:05.200 to just reduce it so it wasn't going to be $60 billion. Again, the thing is such a dog's breakfast.

00:15:12.400 They're not sure if they're actually going to be able to pass it with the Bloc Capicoat, 0.99

00:15:16.980 the Conservatives, and the NDP.

00:15:18.640 Three.

00:15:21.440 Mr. Speaker, today the Prime Minister and I will meet to discuss...

00:15:25.040 I should have started in English, but you guys heard it all in French there. But now I want to

00:15:28.980 jump ahead to the exchange that he actually ended up having with Steve McKinnon, because Steve

00:15:37.040 McKinnon was involved in all this, and I'm not just hallucinating Steve McKinnon's and Dominic

00:15:40.880 LeBlanc's in places that they do not belong. But Polyev and Steve McKinnon had this exchange later on

00:15:46.760 in the day.

00:15:47.220 Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The folks are feisty over there today.

00:15:54.360 What I will say is, we've been hearing all week, all month, since the beginning of this

00:15:59.300 session, about these imaginary taxes. These imaginary taxes in the brain of the leader

00:16:06.040 of the opposition, but that no one else has seemed to manage. What I will tell him is that

00:16:11.800 there will be a budget, there will be some numbers and some tables that he can read there

00:16:16.740 where he will not find taxes on food. There is no tax on food. There will never be a tax on food.

00:16:22.360 He's going to walk into it right here because Steve McKinnon should know that obviously Polyev 0.90

00:16:28.180 is talking about the inflation tax, the idea that by spending and printing so much money,

00:16:33.820 the government is pushing up the prices of food, the price of food because of fiscal irresponsibility.

00:16:40.060 The fact that they're clapping and they think this was good is really telling on just how

00:16:44.320 poor at communications the Liberals have become.

00:16:46.460 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.

00:16:50.140 Well, first, we're all disappointed to learn that Liberals think that Canadians who see grocery

00:16:56.280 prices rising at records rates are just imagining things, Mr. Speaker. And further disappointed to

00:17:04.620 see that this Prime Minister cannot stand in his place and address real questions about the cost

00:17:10.640 of groceries for Canadians. It's not just the industrial carbon tax, Mr. Speaker. It is also

00:17:16.800 the government's fuel standard, which according to their own department is going to increase the cost

00:17:22.880 of fuel by 17 cents on the farmers and the truckers who bring us our food. Does he really expect consumers

00:17:28.800 to leave that one? Yeah. So then they end up throwing Patty Hayes you out there instead of actually 1.00

00:17:45.760 having someone real respond to the question. And that was what happened earlier on. He ended up pushing

00:17:51.040 Carney into the corner. So Steve McKinnon got up and then Steve McKinnon was pushed into the corner.

00:17:55.280 And then Patty Hayes you gets up. The government's not doing very well when it comes to actual

00:18:00.400 rhetorical defense for just the poor practices. Because again, is this worse than under Trudeau?

00:18:07.760 I'm not sure if I can really answer that. The thing is, it's not what Carney promised. And when

00:18:12.320 you set expectations high, like Carney had to do in order to get anyone back on board, it was the

00:18:17.520 combination of basically running against Trump for Carney, as well as setting expectations extremely high,

00:18:24.240 is how he was able to get back in office. And six months of constant failures and rhetorical fumbles,

00:18:30.240 well, naturally, they're on their heels now. And they actually are kind of worried about facing a

00:18:35.040 new election because they just do not have it in them to actually make it through this one.

00:18:39.600 Anyways, so with that being said, that should be it for me today, guys. I will make sure when I play the

00:18:45.520 CPAC stuff, let's not have to listen to it in French in the future, but it is still the same content.

00:18:50.480 But yeah, so with all the stuff about conservatives potentially crossing the floor, I really don't

00:18:56.640 see it happening. I think that's just a phantom rumor just to try and throw Polly off up against 1.00

00:19:02.000 the wall. But I think like he, how he responded in that press conference, I think he is doing a good

00:19:07.040 job to avoid being put into a corner by the media in order to basically buy some breathing room for the

00:19:14.480 liberals. The RCMP story is such a dud. Nobody actually thinks conservatives are anti-cop.

00:19:20.240 And nobody actually thinks these RCMP commissioners are not obvious partisan liberal hacks. So Polly,

00:19:26.560 if anything, is going to score points with police officers by going after these commissioners that

00:19:32.080 most police officers do not like. Anyways, so that should be it for me today, guys.

00:19:37.840 Thank you for watching, and I will see you guys all later.
