00:00:00.000 Hello everyone, welcome back to the Wyatt Claypool Show, and well, the Liberal leadership race is off
00:00:07.200 to a strange start so far, but I'm here to break it down for you guys today. The Liberals have
00:00:13.460 guaranteed that this race is going to be an on-fire clown car. There is a $350,000 buy-in for this
00:00:21.020 race. I know inflation has sucked under the Liberals, but the Conservatives got criticized
00:00:26.000 for making their buy-in $300,000, and just a couple years later, it's $350,000 in a Liberal
00:00:33.800 leadership race that's not even going to last more than two months. Ballots get counted on March 9th,
00:00:40.700 which really means that voting is on, like, March 1st or 2nd, because if you don't have your ballot
00:00:46.760 in the mail by those dates, they're probably not actually going to get counted. The Liberals have
00:00:52.160 finally adjusted their membership rules so people who aren't even permanent residents can't vote,
00:00:57.860 or, like, you know, Xi Jinping's son, but the thing is still going to be an absolute disaster,
00:01:04.660 because there's almost no security on fact-checking whether or not people are really permanent residents
00:01:10.060 or not. I don't think the Liberals have the resources to track that information down in the
00:01:15.120 short period of time that their race is lasting for, but who am I to judge? Let's go over some of
00:01:22.100 the weirder things that have happened in this leadership race so far. In the future, I'm
00:01:26.560 definitely going to make a detailed video on every single candidate, what their background is, and
00:01:31.080 kind of what lane they fill in the Liberal leadership, but let's just go over what the news of the race
00:01:36.680 has been so far. We've had MPs we expected to jump into the race, just suddenly pull back the last
00:01:43.140 second. Maybe that's because of the crazy high buy-in, or maybe someone told them, definitely please do not
00:01:48.300 run. And then, though, we've had a bunch of people, we don't even know who they are, throwing their hat
00:01:53.980 into the ring. Chandra Aria and Frank Bayless, I doubt you guys have ever heard of those two people.
00:01:59.840 And then, the candidates who are even higher profile have either failed to launch their campaign so far,
00:02:05.520 or, in the case of Christy Clark, she launched her campaign and then immediately torpedoed into the
00:02:12.680 ground and exploded over the dumbest lie I've ever heard in my life. So, we're going to break this all down.
00:02:19.680 We're going to start with the Christy Clark story, but first, I just want to remind you guys, hey, if you like
00:02:25.760 this channel, make sure to like the video, subscribe to the channel if you're not yet subscribed. About 70% of
00:02:31.360 people watching any given video I put up has not yet subscribed to the channel, so make sure to do that.
00:02:36.360 We're trying to get to 100,000 subscribers by December of this year. But, without further ado,
00:02:42.100 let's jump into Christy Clark's launch and then her quick dive into complete irrelevancy in this race.
00:02:49.080 Like, maybe she's going to stick around and really do something, but I think that this basically cut
00:02:53.920 her brakes right away. So, Christy Clark has started trying to market herself in this race as a lifelong
00:03:00.260 liberal here to save Canada from the clutches of Pierre Polyev. The problem with that, other than
00:03:07.120 it's completely stupid, because if you actually polled Canadians on what they want in government,
00:03:11.780 it looks a lot like Pierre Polyev, but Christy Clark hasn't even been a lifelong liberal. In fact,
00:03:18.220 she was just a conservative as of just a little bit more than a year ago. Check out this clip from
00:03:23.980 the CBC when they asked her about her claims that she's always been a liberal.
00:03:28.320 You have called yourself a lifelong liberal, but you voted in the last federal conservative
00:03:33.700 leadership race. That would have required you to cancel your liberal party membership in order
00:03:38.060 to join the conservative party. How long were you a member of the conservative party, Christy Clark?
00:03:43.120 Never. But you voted in the race, did you not? No, I didn't. I didn't.
00:03:48.620 She even has, like, the liar smile. And the thing, we're going to get into this,
00:03:52.740 but, like, what is the point of even lying here?
00:03:55.120 And I never got a membership, and I never got a ballot. What I did, though, is...
00:04:00.500 I will say, Christy Clark, we reached out to the conservative party, who told us,
00:04:03.860 in fact, that your membership was cancelled.
00:04:05.800 It has got to be a big step for you to join the conservatives. Why did you do it?
00:04:11.780 Because I think that we need a leader. There is only one leader who's running for office right now,
00:04:17.640 who is going to be able to unite the country, I think, and who's going to bring a moderation
00:04:22.920 and a willingness to talk to the people with whom he disagrees, and that's Jean Charest.
00:04:27.420 I'm joining the party so that I can support my friend, Mr. Charest.
00:04:31.660 It's not even just Christy Clark's word that she joined the party.
00:04:35.260 Later, Jenny Byrne, the top advisor to Pierre Polyev, released her membership record
00:04:40.520 showing that she became a member in 2022 and then cancelled at some time in 2023.
00:04:46.500 By the way, when she was backing Jean Charest, she even said she was backing him
00:04:52.080 because she needed somebody who could beat Justin Trudeau.
00:04:55.120 Despite the fact that she's now been running around for the last few months
00:04:58.340 pretending that she's a big fan of Trudeau, but we just need a stronger leader
00:05:03.200 to lead the Liberal Party forward.
00:05:06.400 I thought the Liberal government was the problem, but apparently they're all cool now
00:05:10.120 that they might make you the Prime Minister for like two weeks before
00:05:14.080 Pierre Polyev absolutely caves in all of your political dreams.
00:05:18.640 It is so asinine.
00:05:21.580 She decided to lie about this.
00:05:23.320 When someone lies about stuff this stupid, you gotta wonder what else they would be willing to lie about.
00:05:29.380 Like, I don't need to read this full statement here, so I'm not going to expand it,
00:05:33.120 but this was what Christy Clark posted after it was clear she was lying.
00:05:38.400 Lying for no reason. Lying over something stupid.
00:05:41.360 She said this.
00:05:42.940 Well, I misspoke.
00:05:44.900 S happens. Lesson learned.
00:05:47.680 I have always been clear that I supported Jean Charest to stop Pierre Polyev.
00:05:52.060 Specifically, she said she was supporting Jean Charest to stop Trudeau
00:05:55.860 because he was more uniting than Polyev.
00:05:58.800 But she goes on to say,
00:06:00.020 Not backing away from that.
00:06:02.080 He's the most divisive politician we've seen in years,
00:06:05.300 and I felt it was my duty as a Canadian to stop him
00:06:08.160 and his movement forward in his attempt to become leader.
00:06:13.000 But when I look at this,
00:06:14.940 I just feel all the consultants on her campaign telling her,
00:06:19.240 Oh, no, no, don't say that you have any connection to the Conservative Party.
00:06:22.260 Like, guys, the Conservatives are actually very popular right now.
00:06:25.840 I'm saying this as Conservative.
00:06:27.260 I'm going to vote Conservative.
00:06:28.240 I'd hate the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:06:30.540 But if you're running for the Liberal Party of Canada,
00:06:33.140 and the current zeitgeist in Canadian politics
00:06:36.000 is people who want to increase freedom,
00:06:39.100 lower taxes,
00:06:40.360 lower wasteful government spending,
00:06:42.060 getting rid of the carbon tax, all this stuff,
00:06:43.780 you think you would actually embrace the fact
00:06:45.840 that I've been a member of the Liberals,
00:06:47.580 I've been a member of the Conservatives,
00:06:49.060 I am the centrist alternative
00:06:50.660 to the failed leadership of Justin Trudeau.
00:06:53.160 That is the smart way of marketing yourself.
00:06:56.240 Like, I know Clark is a lefty.
00:06:59.240 She absolutely is.
00:07:00.220 She has no claim to the center or the center-right
00:07:02.440 like she's tried to do in the past.
00:07:04.720 She toured when she was the Premier of British Columbia,
00:07:07.940 Preston Manning around the legislature,
00:07:09.880 pretending like we're together on this one,
00:07:12.280 even though those two do not line up politically at all.
00:07:16.300 So she's, for some reason,
00:07:18.300 doubling down on how liberal and progressive she is
00:07:20.860 when that is literally the brand
00:07:22.840 that has failed with Justin Trudeau.
00:07:24.700 There is going to be a bunch of true-and-on people
00:07:26.940 who are going to try and vote
00:07:27.940 for the absolute closest thing
00:07:29.440 in this leadership race to Trudeau.
00:07:31.320 But if you had a brain in your skull,
00:07:33.660 you should be trying to run away from Justin Trudeau
00:07:36.480 in this leadership race.
00:07:38.100 And Clark sometimes gets that.
00:07:40.120 She sometimes does the smart thing,
00:07:42.240 like announces that,
00:07:43.500 I will be getting rid of the consumer carbon tax
00:07:46.300 because Canadians do not like it.
00:07:48.240 Smart move.
00:07:48.900 But then she does something like this,
00:07:51.160 lying about her conservative membership,
00:07:52.780 that absolutely undermines her credibility on anything
00:07:55.980 because she has shown that she's willing to lie
00:07:58.300 over petty, stupid stuff like this.
00:08:01.320 Anyways, let's move on to another candidate.
00:08:05.800 We have, I'm going to say Frank Bayless for a bit later.
00:08:10.800 Let's start off with this other candidate
00:08:13.060 who's getting clowned on pretty hard right now
00:08:16.260 because nobody knows who he is.
00:08:18.360 And he comes off as, you know,
00:08:20.820 somewhat of an oddball kind of person to be running.
00:08:24.540 Here's Chandra Arya, a Hindu liberal MP,
00:08:29.000 trying to seek the leadership race,
00:08:31.140 talking on power and politics
00:08:32.780 about how he doesn't speak French
00:08:34.400 and he doesn't care.
00:08:35.220 How's your French?
00:08:36.840 Nope.
00:08:37.700 No? No French?
00:08:38.640 No French.
00:08:39.320 Okay.
00:08:39.720 The Liberal Party of Canada
00:08:40.660 is the party of official bilingualism.
00:08:41.980 It's going to be a tough one.
00:08:42.720 I don't speak French either.
00:08:43.900 So I, you know.
00:08:44.600 The point is that whether the Quebecers
00:08:46.580 are English Canadians,
00:08:48.760 it's not the language that matters.
00:08:50.480 It's what it is that they deliver to them.
00:08:52.160 But the language matters very much in Quebec.
00:08:54.140 By the way,
00:08:55.380 I don't want to be rude to this guy or anything,
00:08:57.900 but his English isn't great either.
00:09:01.540 The funny thing is this man actually has,
00:09:04.180 oddly, a platform that I can sometimes agree with.
00:09:07.080 Did you know that this man,
00:09:08.760 with this accent,
00:09:10.100 is actually the anti-DEI candidate?
00:09:12.400 He opposes DEI programs in government.
00:09:15.260 So I guess if you guys are not conservative members
00:09:17.960 and you want to take out a Liberal membership,
00:09:20.060 it's free.
00:09:21.140 Maybe vote for this guy.
00:09:22.360 That would be funny.
00:09:23.380 So he's against the monarchy.
00:09:25.060 He's against DEI programs.
00:09:26.760 He's against the consumer carbon tax.
00:09:28.600 But then he's also like kind of pro-Hamas.
00:09:31.180 But then he's against the Kalistanis
00:09:32.580 because he's a Hindu.
00:09:33.780 He's just like an absolute grab bag
00:09:36.720 of random policies.
00:09:38.920 No.
00:09:39.620 At the end of the day,
00:09:40.520 Quebecers see who delivers what.
00:09:42.440 You know, we have English-speaking,
00:09:44.740 French-fluent prime minister for all the time.
00:09:47.500 One of the things that matters to Quebecers
00:09:49.140 are being a sovereign country,
00:09:50.940 a sovereign republic.
00:09:52.040 Yeah.
00:09:52.340 And which prime minister has ever talked about that?
00:09:55.700 Mr. Aryeh, if you're going to...
00:09:56.760 run for prime minister,
00:09:57.740 I mean, you have to know
00:09:59.140 that the French language matters
00:10:00.600 and the French...
00:10:01.600 It matters in Quebec profoundly.
00:10:03.180 Trust me.
00:10:03.720 Profoundly.
00:10:04.300 Trust me.
00:10:04.800 At the end of the day,
00:10:05.860 for French Canadians
00:10:06.840 and English Canadians,
00:10:08.240 the matters most is that
00:10:09.360 how the children and grandchildren
00:10:10.780 are going to prosper in this country.
00:10:12.540 That is the thing that matters.
00:10:14.360 Okay.
00:10:14.960 We'll leave it there.
00:10:15.860 We'll see what happens in the rules.
00:10:17.180 Like,
00:10:17.660 I don't know how this guy's going to come up
00:10:19.340 the $350,000
00:10:21.340 to actually enter this race
00:10:23.300 because a single individual
00:10:24.860 can only give you up to, like,
00:10:26.260 $1,800 or $1,775
00:10:29.060 in the year 2025.
00:10:31.120 So, like,
00:10:31.840 if he gets in,
00:10:32.840 that'd be hilarious.
00:10:34.720 Maybe we shall donate to him
00:10:35.980 to get him into the race.
00:10:36.880 Not actually.
00:10:37.500 I'm just kidding.
00:10:38.340 But, honestly,
00:10:39.440 I'd like to see him on a debate stage
00:10:40.980 because this guy's kind of funny.
00:10:43.380 And, you know what?
00:10:44.460 Kind of I agree with him.
00:10:46.240 I actually don't really care
00:10:47.580 if politicians can speak French or not.
00:10:49.680 And, of course,
00:10:50.060 I'm saying this in Albertan.
00:10:51.660 But, like,
00:10:52.220 I always do find
00:10:53.020 that's kind of strange
00:10:54.120 that every leader
00:10:55.660 has to be somewhat
00:10:56.940 of a Laurentian elite
00:10:58.200 who has good English
00:10:59.900 and good French,
00:11:01.100 which means that
00:11:01.840 you tend to get leaders
00:11:02.880 out of the St. Lawrence
00:11:04.360 sort of river valley.
00:11:05.700 You get a lot of people
00:11:06.720 who live around
00:11:08.320 the kind of Ottawa,
00:11:09.360 Montreal,
00:11:10.420 Toronto bubble area.
00:11:12.240 And, you know,
00:11:13.400 maybe it'd be good
00:11:14.120 to have somebody
00:11:14.840 who doesn't actually
00:11:16.060 speak French
00:11:16.660 but is just a good politician
00:11:18.000 leading the country
00:11:18.700 for once.
00:11:19.700 But I would say
00:11:20.980 it would be good
00:11:21.620 if the person
00:11:22.240 can also speak English.
00:11:24.540 Chandra Aria, in fact,
00:11:26.080 only actually came to Canada
00:11:27.840 in, like, 2004
00:11:30.440 or something like that.
00:11:31.860 The man's only been here
00:11:33.200 for around 20 years.
00:11:34.980 He came here
00:11:35.460 when he was in his 40s.
00:11:36.620 Now he's 62.
00:11:37.840 And he's going to run
00:11:38.760 to be the Prime Minister
00:11:39.760 of Canada.
00:11:41.480 I guess so.
00:11:42.420 I guess Ujjal Dessange
00:11:43.540 became the Premier
00:11:44.760 of British Columbia
00:11:45.660 but Ujjal Dessange
00:11:46.700 is actually kind of cool
00:11:48.120 for a Liberal
00:11:48.760 or an NDP guy.
00:11:51.000 But I digress.
00:11:52.340 Let's move on
00:11:53.320 to something else.
00:11:54.460 I'm going to skip over
00:11:55.420 Frank Bayless.
00:11:56.180 We don't need to hear
00:11:56.720 from another candidate
00:11:57.460 for a second here.
00:11:58.220 I just want to jump over
00:12:00.200 and talk about Melanie Jolie
00:12:03.160 because I was promised
00:12:05.200 Melanie Jolie in this race.
00:12:07.240 Supposedly, Melanie Jolie
00:12:08.400 was supposed to be
00:12:09.360 in this race
00:12:09.840 and she was going to
00:12:10.440 set the world on fire
00:12:11.580 according to one
00:12:12.960 female campaign staffer
00:12:15.280 for the Liberals.
00:12:16.720 But today,
00:12:17.780 she is here to tell us,
00:12:19.440 oh, I know I got work to do.
00:12:21.060 That's why I can't do it.
00:12:22.200 Oh, I was totally going to run
00:12:23.620 and totally going to win.
00:12:25.140 I just have, you know,
00:12:26.980 I have to go like
00:12:27.900 eat donuts or something.
00:12:29.240 You know, as foreign minister,
00:12:30.240 I'm very much aware
00:12:31.100 that we are chair
00:12:32.500 of the G7 this year.
00:12:34.540 So, and my job
00:12:35.760 along with the prime minister
00:12:36.840 is to make sure
00:12:37.500 that these meetings go well
00:12:39.520 and that we play
00:12:40.820 a leadership role.
00:12:42.000 While other countries
00:12:42.900 of the G7
00:12:43.600 are concerned
00:12:44.580 about the partnerships
00:12:45.680 of countries
00:12:46.300 within the G7
00:12:47.300 also based on
00:12:49.100 the new administration
00:12:50.580 in the U.S. coming in.
00:12:52.600 And so based on that,
00:12:53.820 I'll make sure
00:12:55.160 that we play
00:12:56.360 a leadership role.
00:12:57.480 So, Melanie Jolie
00:12:58.640 cannot run
00:12:59.220 because, well,
00:13:00.680 we have the G7 chair
00:13:02.000 this year
00:13:02.460 and Donald Trump,
00:13:03.660 Donald Trump,
00:13:04.200 that's why I can't run.
00:13:05.300 Donald Trump is existing
00:13:06.660 and that means
00:13:07.460 I can't run
00:13:09.060 or something like that.
00:13:09.980 She posted probably
00:13:11.540 one of the most arrogant things
00:13:13.180 I've ever seen
00:13:14.120 from a politician
00:13:15.400 justifying their,
00:13:16.940 frankly,
00:13:18.000 lack of initiative.
00:13:21.360 So, she posted
00:13:23.060 this statement.
00:13:23.820 I'm going to go find it
00:13:24.760 in a second here.
00:13:26.360 It was just
00:13:27.140 mesmerizingly arrogant,
00:13:29.520 at least in my opinion,
00:13:30.620 just the way
00:13:31.020 that she phrased
00:13:31.940 the reason
00:13:32.600 why she wasn't running.
00:13:33.640 First,
00:13:34.420 we do got to stop
00:13:35.260 by this meme
00:13:36.260 that this liberal
00:13:37.480 campaign staff member
00:13:39.260 posted.
00:13:40.180 I'm not sure
00:13:40.560 which campaign
00:13:41.180 she's on,
00:13:42.840 but I said to this
00:13:44.460 something else.
00:13:46.660 I'll get to something else.
00:13:47.360 I just said
00:13:47.660 that campaign staffers
00:13:49.920 are sometimes
00:13:50.300 the most tiring people
00:13:51.240 I've ever seen
00:13:52.260 in my life,
00:13:52.880 but she says,
00:13:53.660 basically,
00:13:54.140 my politics right now.
00:13:55.580 This is brilliant,
00:13:57.020 but I like this.
00:13:58.640 It's like,
00:13:59.600 these people
00:14:01.540 are the most boring
00:14:02.380 politicians I've ever seen.
00:14:03.900 I do not believe her
00:14:06.060 when she thinks,
00:14:07.500 when she actually says
00:14:08.220 she likes these people.
00:14:09.440 Not at all,
00:14:10.420 because these are
00:14:11.080 some of the most boring
00:14:11.800 people I've ever seen
00:14:13.040 in my life.
00:14:13.800 But here is
00:14:14.540 Melanie Jolie's statement
00:14:15.700 on why she's not running.
00:14:17.380 As I mentioned before,
00:14:18.580 Dominic LeBlanc
00:14:19.280 is also not running,
00:14:20.240 but who cares?
00:14:21.700 I actually didn't think
00:14:22.520 he was going to run.
00:14:23.680 I was listing him
00:14:24.720 because people were saying
00:14:25.560 he was going to run,
00:14:26.220 but you don't become
00:14:27.960 the deputy prime minister
00:14:29.280 and finance minister
00:14:30.280 for like three weeks
00:14:31.480 and then say,
00:14:32.280 well, I'm off.
00:14:33.140 I'm going to go run
00:14:33.700 for leadership.
00:14:35.960 So Melanie Jolie
00:14:36.860 in her statement
00:14:37.380 right here says,
00:14:38.520 I chose public service
00:14:39.760 to help my fellow Canadians
00:14:40.960 achieve a better life.
00:14:42.340 Throughout my career,
00:14:43.380 each time I've been faced
00:14:44.460 with a choice,
00:14:45.060 I ask myself,
00:14:46.320 how can I make
00:14:47.100 the biggest impact
00:14:47.940 for Canadians?
00:14:48.460 Yeah, I guarantee
00:14:49.240 she asked herself that.
00:14:51.040 Over the past week,
00:14:52.140 I've spoken with dozens
00:14:53.220 of friends, colleagues
00:14:54.100 and close advisors,
00:14:55.420 many of whom
00:14:56.040 have encouraged me
00:14:56.800 to run for the leadership
00:14:57.620 of the Liberal Party
00:14:58.440 of Canada.
00:14:59.440 While I know I'm ready,
00:15:00.640 oh my goodness,
00:15:01.700 while I know I am ready
00:15:03.180 to become the first woman
00:15:04.440 to lead the Liberal Party
00:15:05.540 of Canada,
00:15:06.240 I must also recognize
00:15:07.460 that the current
00:15:08.100 international situation,
00:15:09.700 especially the unjustified
00:15:11.080 threat of tariffs
00:15:11.780 and other economic pressures
00:15:13.420 from the president-elect
00:15:14.440 of the United States,
00:15:15.340 requires a firm
00:15:16.280 an urgent response.
00:15:17.600 This is happening now.
00:15:19.120 And then so she keeps
00:15:20.140 waterboarding us
00:15:21.180 with the details
00:15:21.860 of why she's not running.
00:15:23.240 Imagine saying,
00:15:24.220 I'm not running,
00:15:24.800 but I was totally ready
00:15:26.220 to be the first female
00:15:28.300 Liberal Party leader.
00:15:29.960 Guys,
00:15:30.760 I'm totally ready
00:15:32.040 to be the Prime Minister.
00:15:33.800 You know,
00:15:34.320 I got sandwiches
00:15:35.940 to eat or whatever.
00:15:37.120 You know,
00:15:37.300 Donald Trump is out there,
00:15:39.120 you know,
00:15:39.480 drinking Diet Coke.
00:15:40.720 I can't run.
00:15:41.620 That's basically
00:15:42.240 what Melanie Jolie is saying.
00:15:43.760 It's sad.
00:15:44.720 And people thought
00:15:46.160 this lady was
00:15:46.800 leadership material.
00:15:48.260 If she was leadership material,
00:15:50.040 she would have the medal
00:15:50.880 to just say,
00:15:51.540 I don't care what else
00:15:52.340 is going on.
00:15:53.020 I'm running
00:15:53.600 because I'm the best person
00:15:54.720 for the job.
00:15:55.280 But she can't do that
00:15:56.240 because she's not
00:15:57.340 the best person
00:15:57.940 for the job.
00:15:58.740 She is decisively
00:15:59.760 probably one of the worst people
00:16:01.700 for this job.
00:16:03.620 Oh, anyways.
00:16:06.180 Their people are so tiring.
00:16:08.140 I'm tired.
00:16:09.920 Anyways, so,
00:16:11.500 we're going to get back to it.
00:16:13.080 But I want to show you guys
00:16:14.680 this last interview
00:16:16.820 with Frank Bayliss.
00:16:18.700 And then I think
00:16:19.860 we can wrap this up here.
00:16:21.760 Mark Carney and Christy Freeland
00:16:22.980 still aren't in this race.
00:16:24.380 You think they would, like,
00:16:25.820 attempt to announce
00:16:27.420 faster than this?
00:16:28.480 Because they don't have
00:16:29.420 much time.
00:16:30.120 Again,
00:16:30.980 I guarantee they're not
00:16:32.020 selling many memberships
00:16:33.280 while having not announced.
00:16:35.100 And so what they're doing
00:16:36.200 is just making it
00:16:37.060 so that it's going to be
00:16:37.820 a mad dash
00:16:38.700 to even have,
00:16:39.520 you know,
00:16:40.080 20,000 memberships
00:16:41.780 because, like,
00:16:42.680 you've got to get
00:16:43.120 some momentum.
00:16:43.740 There's no room
00:16:44.280 for momentum here.
00:16:45.680 But this is Frank Bayliss,
00:16:47.000 one of the other guys
00:16:47.720 running for the leadership.
00:16:48.740 Frankly, to be honest,
00:16:50.520 as a conservative
00:16:51.400 and orthodox
00:16:52.520 fiscal and social conservative,
00:16:55.220 if I was forced
00:16:56.740 to become a liberal member
00:16:57.780 and I had to vote
00:16:58.660 in the leadership race,
00:16:59.720 I'd probably end up
00:17:00.920 right now voting
00:17:01.780 for Frank Bayliss,
00:17:02.920 number one,
00:17:04.160 Chandrarian, number two,
00:17:05.320 because that guy's
00:17:05.900 a mad lad.
00:17:06.640 He's hilarious,
00:17:07.240 even though he's crazy.
00:17:08.240 But Frank Bayliss,
00:17:09.800 at least he's a business owner.
00:17:11.800 At least he's run a business.
00:17:13.240 He was only a one-term MP
00:17:14.620 and decided not to run again
00:17:16.080 in 2019 on his own accord.
00:17:17.880 So he can literally say
00:17:19.340 he's not a career politician.
00:17:21.340 He can actually say
00:17:22.920 he can sympathize
00:17:23.960 with business owners.
00:17:25.620 Is he implicated
00:17:27.000 in a federal graft
00:17:28.580 through starting
00:17:29.500 a fakie ventilator business
00:17:31.100 during COVID
00:17:31.720 and getting insider contracts
00:17:33.480 from the liberals?
00:17:34.280 Yes.
00:17:35.040 But, like,
00:17:35.680 that's basically standard
00:17:38.020 for a liberal MP.
00:17:39.140 Either you're a corrupt
00:17:40.180 career politician
00:17:41.140 or you sort of jump
00:17:42.520 in and out of office
00:17:43.400 like Frank Bayliss
00:17:45.120 and Randy Boissoneau
00:17:46.360 and benefit from
00:17:47.520 contract shenanigans
00:17:48.680 in the background.
00:17:49.840 I have a number of questions
00:17:50.900 for you about the leadership,
00:17:52.060 but I did want to start off
00:17:53.100 on the news of the day.
00:17:55.100 And in particular,
00:17:55.860 the incoming president
00:17:56.660 of the U.S.
00:17:57.340 doubling down
00:17:58.140 on this threat
00:17:59.260 to make Canada
00:17:59.900 the 51st state,
00:18:01.020 saying that he'll use
00:18:01.780 quote-unquote
00:18:02.320 economic force
00:18:03.960 to make it happen.
00:18:05.420 As someone who wants
00:18:06.460 to run to lead
00:18:07.140 the Liberal Party
00:18:07.840 and ultimately the country,
00:18:09.300 how should that,
00:18:10.100 in your view,
00:18:10.560 be responded to?
00:18:13.100 Well, I think we're
00:18:14.380 going to have
00:18:14.620 a very long four years
00:18:15.620 of every time
00:18:16.240 President-elect Trump
00:18:17.360 sends out one of his tweets
00:18:18.860 that are meant
00:18:19.860 to be provocative,
00:18:20.860 meant to be insulting to us.
00:18:22.540 It's part of his
00:18:23.240 negotiating tactics.
00:18:24.560 He wants to negotiate
00:18:25.760 on some border issues
00:18:27.100 and this is something
00:18:28.920 that is part of his
00:18:30.560 way of doing business.
00:18:32.240 That's all I need
00:18:33.800 to hear from him.
00:18:34.520 Again, would never
00:18:35.660 vote Liberal.
00:18:36.380 If he was the Liberal leader,
00:18:37.640 would still not vote Liberal.
00:18:38.720 I'd still be voting
00:18:39.420 for the poly of Conservatives.
00:18:41.500 But, oh my goodness,
00:18:43.060 he's like one of the only
00:18:43.780 people in Canada
00:18:44.520 to give the right response
00:18:45.680 on the Trump issue.
00:18:46.820 Trump's being provocative.
00:18:48.220 Part of his negotiating tactics,
00:18:50.080 we should just motor forward
00:18:51.320 and actually negotiate
00:18:52.420 over the issues
00:18:53.520 that this is all about.
00:18:55.000 The border, trade,
00:18:56.500 that stuff, keep focused.
00:18:57.920 My goodness,
00:18:58.840 how is that guy
00:18:59.560 actually not the leader
00:19:00.740 right now?
00:19:01.140 How is he not,
00:19:02.000 how is he a fringe contender
00:19:03.460 and not a main contender
00:19:04.600 when the other options
00:19:06.420 are central banker
00:19:08.020 Mark Carney
00:19:08.840 and Justin Trudeau
00:19:10.840 hatchet lady
00:19:11.560 up until a month
00:19:12.760 and a half ago,
00:19:13.540 Christia Freeland.
00:19:14.660 How are those,
00:19:15.660 the other two frontrunners
00:19:16.980 alongside Christy Clark,
00:19:18.680 but is she even really
00:19:19.880 a frontrunner
00:19:20.520 after anymore
00:19:21.260 after she embarrassed herself?
00:19:23.300 I don't think so.
00:19:25.360 Like maybe there are
00:19:26.440 still weirdos
00:19:27.460 going to come out
00:19:28.140 of the woodwork
00:19:28.760 to run for the leadership race.
00:19:30.380 It's probably
00:19:32.440 more the merrier
00:19:33.280 at this point.
00:19:34.220 It's a ridiculous race.
00:19:35.420 All you need is $350,000
00:19:36.920 and while that's
00:19:37.760 a lot of money,
00:19:38.740 like just go for it.
00:19:40.300 Go on.
00:19:41.000 Just go to Bay Street
00:19:41.780 and get a bunch of
00:19:42.580 like 300 people
00:19:43.520 to give you the max donation
00:19:45.320 and you'll be on your way.
00:19:47.100 Really, the liberals
00:19:48.020 want the rate
00:19:49.180 to be so high,
00:19:50.120 the $350,000 buy-in
00:19:51.880 because the party
00:19:52.880 does get to have
00:19:53.840 a cut of the proceeds.
00:19:55.660 I don't think they get
00:19:56.440 to spend it
00:19:57.040 on the next election.
00:19:57.980 I think they have
00:19:58.660 to spend it
00:19:59.320 on internal type
00:20:00.940 management
00:20:01.560 and governance stuff
00:20:02.500 but it still lets them
00:20:03.800 offset other costs.
00:20:05.640 That's where
00:20:06.140 I think the main reason
00:20:07.620 to get rid of
00:20:08.260 Justin Trudeau
00:20:08.980 was the money.
00:20:10.620 It was that
00:20:11.200 all the donors
00:20:12.140 did not want to back Trudeau.
00:20:13.680 They were tired of him.
00:20:15.060 So donors
00:20:15.940 who have a lot of money
00:20:17.080 and won't miss $1,800,
00:20:19.040 they're willing to
00:20:20.240 at least give it
00:20:21.020 to a new guy
00:20:21.920 but I think
00:20:22.440 they were feeling
00:20:23.120 like they were being
00:20:23.700 taken advantage of
00:20:24.860 and taken for granted
00:20:25.860 when Trudeau
00:20:27.480 kept swinging by
00:20:28.540 and saying,
00:20:29.340 hey,
00:20:29.580 do you got another
00:20:30.240 $100,000 for me
00:20:31.860 in your office here?
00:20:33.100 And they're like,
00:20:34.160 well,
00:20:34.420 you suck at your job
00:20:35.660 and you're losing
00:20:36.360 so we don't want
00:20:37.280 to give you money.
00:20:37.980 It's almost
00:20:38.440 a one-for-one
00:20:40.140 repeat
00:20:41.000 of the
00:20:42.320 Biden-Harris
00:20:43.560 swap out
00:20:44.440 except this time
00:20:45.860 it's Trudeau
00:20:46.740 for like
00:20:47.580 Freeland or Carney
00:20:48.560 or one of the other guys
00:20:50.040 and
00:20:51.000 except
00:20:52.300 at least Biden
00:20:53.340 had an excuse
00:20:54.280 of why he needed
00:20:55.120 to drop out
00:20:55.900 and
00:20:56.460 Justin Trudeau
00:20:57.400 only has his own
00:20:58.120 crushing stupidity
00:20:59.140 to fall back on
00:21:00.240 but
00:21:01.900 that's probably it
00:21:03.160 for me today
00:21:03.820 here, guys.
00:21:05.680 This is going to be
00:21:06.640 an absolute
00:21:07.320 as I said at the start
00:21:08.680 on-fire clown car.
00:21:10.760 I don't know
00:21:11.540 what really makes
00:21:12.760 these candidates
00:21:13.740 interesting
00:21:14.720 to average people
00:21:15.920 when
00:21:17.020 Pierre Polyev
00:21:18.100 is kind of
00:21:19.460 a
00:21:19.860 leading
00:21:20.460 a somewhat
00:21:21.240 populist
00:21:21.980 conservative movement
00:21:22.960 and at 45%
00:21:24.660 in the polls.
00:21:25.840 What are these people
00:21:26.780 coming out
00:21:27.320 talking like
00:21:28.380 career politicians
00:21:29.820 and I know
00:21:30.640 Polyev is technically
00:21:31.680 also a career politician.
00:21:32.920 He's been in for a while
00:21:33.700 but my distinction
00:21:34.900 is if you're
00:21:35.540 in politics
00:21:36.220 and you're good at it
00:21:37.160 don't leave.
00:21:38.360 Stick around
00:21:38.760 as long as you want
00:21:39.640 but the problem
00:21:40.420 with all these liberals
00:21:41.080 is that
00:21:41.660 they are only good
00:21:42.720 at follow the leader.
00:21:44.140 That is what
00:21:44.540 they've been doing
00:21:45.240 for the past
00:21:45.980 nine to ten years.
00:21:47.960 Frank,
00:21:48.360 longer than that
00:21:49.220 when Trudeau
00:21:50.700 first became the leader
00:21:51.580 back in 2012-2013.
00:21:53.840 So
00:21:54.080 what are their credentials?
00:21:55.740 What's Freeland's
00:21:56.740 actual disagreement
00:21:58.020 with Carney?
00:21:59.300 What is
00:22:00.020 going to be the fight
00:22:00.860 between those two
00:22:01.780 factions
00:22:02.240 of liberal voters?
00:22:03.820 I don't like that
00:22:04.520 Freeland is
00:22:05.520 I don't like that
00:22:07.180 Freeland decided
00:22:08.140 to cancel
00:22:08.760 Disney Plus
00:22:09.500 instead of Netflix.
00:22:10.480 It's obviously
00:22:11.060 the Superior
00:22:11.620 Streaming Service.
00:22:13.020 I don't like that
00:22:14.000 Mark Carney
00:22:15.080 worked for the
00:22:15.680 Bank of England.
00:22:16.500 He should have
00:22:16.860 only ever worked
00:22:17.540 for the Bank of Canada.
00:22:18.860 Like I don't even
00:22:19.720 know what you say
00:22:20.560 if you're a liberal.
00:22:21.440 Like I say
00:22:22.300 that they're basically
00:22:23.060 economic authoritarians
00:22:24.620 and woke leftists
00:22:26.380 who hate the culture
00:22:27.280 of Canada.
00:22:28.320 They all believe
00:22:28.860 in mass immigration.
00:22:30.180 They all believe
00:22:30.780 in high taxes
00:22:31.580 and regulations
00:22:32.380 and think the government
00:22:33.320 does everything better
00:22:34.300 than the private sector.
00:22:35.660 I have my critiques
00:22:36.720 but what does a liberal
00:22:37.800 say about any of these
00:22:38.860 people that makes them
00:22:39.680 fit or unfit for office?
00:22:41.680 Like all of them
00:22:42.680 might as well be
00:22:43.320 wearing skin masks
00:22:44.380 of Trudeau's face
00:22:45.420 because this is just
00:22:46.620 a rerun of Trudeau
00:22:48.040 except for Chandra Ari
00:22:49.740 and Frank Bayless
00:22:50.700 who dare to be
00:22:51.920 interesting.
00:22:52.960 Even Christy Clark
00:22:55.240 is borderline
00:22:56.660 a federal liberal
00:22:57.960 even though she's
00:22:58.740 an old BC liberal
00:22:59.920 and a premier BC.
00:23:01.540 I know she was never
00:23:02.520 in Trudeau's government
00:23:03.440 but she's still
00:23:04.460 pretty much running
00:23:05.560 the Trudeau playbook
00:23:06.780 minus the carbon tax
00:23:08.180 which like you know
00:23:09.400 yeah let's see how long
00:23:10.320 that really lasts
00:23:11.200 as a promise
00:23:11.740 when she actually
00:23:12.220 gets into office.
00:23:13.320 I don't trust
00:23:14.100 Christy Clark
00:23:14.740 as far as I can throw her.
00:23:16.000 But anyways
00:23:17.840 that should be
00:23:19.480 truly it for me today.
00:23:20.680 I always extend
00:23:21.240 these videos out
00:23:22.000 way too long
00:23:22.560 but again
00:23:23.000 like the video
00:23:24.080 subscribe to the channel
00:23:25.500 and if you guys
00:23:26.240 want to financially
00:23:27.140 support the channel
00:23:28.060 you can always
00:23:28.540 donate to the legal
00:23:29.780 fund in the description
00:23:31.280 below as well as
00:23:32.360 pinned at the top
00:23:33.020 of the comments
00:23:33.580 being sued by a
00:23:34.840 Chinese billionaire
00:23:35.580 developer over defamation
00:23:37.080 that in now over
00:23:38.440 three years
00:23:39.140 he has not actually
00:23:39.880 filed any real evidence
00:23:41.360 to prove we defamed him
00:23:42.760 or injured him
00:23:43.940 in any way
00:23:44.800 and now he's just
00:23:45.860 drawing it out
00:23:46.440 and trying to cost me
00:23:47.280 money so it's cost me
00:23:48.240 over $34,000
00:23:49.360 fighting this thing
00:23:50.600 so any bit of money
00:23:51.700 you have you know
00:23:52.820 helps but obviously
00:23:53.880 I'm not gonna
00:23:54.480 suddenly go away
00:23:55.720 if you don't donate
00:23:56.520 so don't worry
00:23:57.180 about it too much
00:23:57.940 and I also have
00:23:59.280 my website linked
00:24:00.320 in the description
00:24:00.920 below and pinned
00:24:01.820 in the comments
00:24:02.440 WyattClaypool.com
00:24:04.080 if you want
00:24:04.600 nomination recommendations
00:24:05.960 as well as
00:24:07.700 leadership recommendations
00:24:09.000 both federally
00:24:09.920 and provincially
00:24:10.740 I'd urge you to sign up
00:24:12.160 especially if you're
00:24:13.080 in Manitoba
00:24:13.800 and New Brunswick
00:24:14.580 because in those
00:24:15.520 two provinces
00:24:16.200 the progressive
00:24:16.940 conservative parties
00:24:17.980 are going to be
00:24:19.060 looking for a new leader
00:24:20.080 in Manitoba
00:24:21.140 Wally Daldrich
00:24:22.160 is a great
00:24:23.080 PC leadership candidate
00:24:24.340 and I am hoping
00:24:25.760 that Chris Austin
00:24:26.860 the former leader
00:24:27.720 of the People's Alliance
00:24:29.180 and current PC MLA
00:24:30.680 decides to throw
00:24:31.760 his hat in the ring
00:24:32.560 to replace Blaine Higgs
00:24:33.880 Higgs was a great premier
00:24:35.420 I think he just had
00:24:36.360 bad election campaign advisors
00:24:38.180 and I think Chris Austin
00:24:39.880 probably does have
00:24:41.060 more of the energy
00:24:42.200 to stay the course
00:24:43.640 on the good policies
00:24:44.820 that Blaine Higgs has
00:24:46.100 but pushing them
00:24:48.180 in a more assertive
00:24:49.440 and aggressive
00:24:50.160 like you know
00:24:51.140 manner
00:24:51.440 anyways
00:24:52.660 that's it
00:24:54.080 see you guys later
00:24:55.160 of the people
00:25:11.880 and the point
00:25:12.880 and the point
00:25:13.820 that she has
00:25:14.980 to reproduce
