The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - The Liberal leadership race is a disaster - Christy Clark caught in big lie

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 0.99

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. 0.95

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. 1.00

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, 0.99

00:03:11.780 it looks a lot like Pierre Polyev, but Christy Clark hasn't even been a lifelong liberal. In fact, 0.99

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, 0.57

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. 0.99

00:05:18.640 It is so asinine. 0.99

00:05:21.580 She decided to lie about this. 1.00

00:05:23.320 When someone lies about stuff this stupid, you gotta wonder what else they would be willing to lie about. 0.99

00:05:29.380 Like, I don't need to read this full statement here, so I'm not going to expand it, 0.99

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. 1.00

00:05:41.360 She said this. 1.00

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 0.90

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 0.98

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. 0.99

00:07:31.320 But if you had a brain in your skull, 0.96

00:07:33.660 you should be trying to run away from Justin Trudeau 0.98

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, 0.60

00:07:51.160 lying about her conservative membership,

00:07:52.780 that absolutely undermines her credibility on anything 0.98

00:07:55.980 because she has shown that she's willing to lie 1.00

00:07:58.300 over petty, stupid stuff like this. 1.00

00:08:01.320 Anyways, let's move on to another candidate. 0.99

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. 1.00

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. 0.98

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, 0.85

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 0.99

00:14:02.380 politicians I've ever seen. 0.91

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 0.65

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 0.99

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 0.93

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. 1.00

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 0.98

00:17:05.900 a mad lad.

00:17:06.640 He's hilarious, 0.98

00:17:07.240 even though he's crazy.

00:17:08.240 But Frank Bayliss, 0.87

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. 0.97

00:17:39.140 Either you're a corrupt 0.99

00:17:40.180 career politician 0.99

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 0.98

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. 0.99

00:19:34.220 It's a ridiculous race. 0.98

00:19:35.420 All you need is $350,000 0.95

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, 1.00

00:20:34.420 you suck at your job 1.00

00:20:35.660 and you're losing 1.00

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 1.00

00:20:58.120 crushing stupidity 1.00

00:20:59.140 to fall back on 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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
