The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - The worst show on the CBC (#DefundCBC)

00:00:00.000 I wanted to fund the CBC. You wanted to fund the CBC. If you own a cat or dog,

00:00:04.880 they probably also wanted to fund the CBC. And I think the show on the CBC that makes the best

00:00:10.460 case as to why they shouldn't be given $1.4 billion of Canadian taxpayer money every single

00:00:16.980 year is CBC's Power in Politics. Yes, there's other shows that are worse than their actual

00:00:22.640 presentation or quality, but I think CBC Power in Politics makes the best case because it is

00:00:29.060 easily the dullest show. Think about having a $1.4 billion budget and putting this garbage

00:00:36.800 on television. And CBC Power in Politics is awful for approximately three reasons. And these are

00:00:43.740 the three reasons right here. It's nothing against these three individuals themselves,

00:00:48.400 but the reason why it is a terrible political talk show where they have different analysts from

00:00:55.060 different political perspectives come and talk about the issues of the day. It sucks because

00:00:59.040 these people actually can't talk about the issues because either they are lobbyists or they

00:01:04.180 basically are still doing PR work for the party that they favor. They can say nothing that a party

00:01:10.360 does not approve of or will not lose them lobbying clients. It is the worst show ever because the show

00:01:16.980 fails at doing what it is meant to do is to have three partisan people come on and discuss political

00:01:22.820 issues who cannot even discuss the issues because they have too much invested in not saying anything

00:01:28.300 controversial or not contradicting the party that they are obviously still either working for or at

00:01:34.280 least still heavily in touch with. It's not just like three conservative NDP and liberal journalists

00:01:41.200 talking. They're all opinionated and it kind of being controversial actually kind of helps them get

00:01:46.860 attention. That would maybe be interesting. These three people, they can't say anything because they're

00:01:52.300 working for random big businesses in terms of lobbying. They're still doing comms for like the NDP or they

00:01:58.600 run a strategy firm and they're trying to get clients in and they have to be hyper professional

00:02:03.300 at all times in artificial sense. This show, nothing happens. I'll just let it play in the background while

00:02:08.440 I talk. But you have the liberal guy here. He used to work in parliament with the liberals and you think,

00:02:15.440 pull that, maybe give him some good political insights, but it's so obvious. All he does is regurgitates

00:02:20.420 liberal talking points. He doesn't have his own perspective. The NDP lady, I believe, is from a lobbying

00:02:25.440 firm and a strategist. And then Fred Delori there, the conservative on the panel, the conservative on the panel

00:02:32.380 who worked as Aaron O'Toole's manager on the 21 election, he's right now working for a lobby firm while he's on the

00:02:39.960 CBC show. So he can't say anything that's actually that political. He'll just basically explain what's

00:02:46.260 going on. Like the host there, who I'm actually most concerned for the health of, because this is

00:02:52.240 such a dull show, he's probably suffering. He'll actually pitch them sometimes interesting topics

00:02:57.980 to talk about. Tucker Carlson, or in this segment, they're talking about Ken McDonald, the liberal MP

00:03:03.020 from Avalon, basically saying that none of his constituents like Justin Trudeau. And even Fred Delori,

00:03:08.580 who should be able to go in hard on this issue? He basically just describes, yes, this is very bad

00:03:13.580 for Justin Trudeau. You have a liberal MP basically saying people don't like the prime minister. Yes,

00:03:18.320 very bad. And then you'll have the NDP person come on. And she'll say, well, you know, actually,

00:03:24.260 well, you know, he's still a part of the government. So it's also Ken McDonald's fault that things suck

00:03:28.660 as bad as they do. So it's kind of a little hypocritical for him to be throwing Justin Trudeau under the

00:03:33.440 bus. At the same time, she's never going to acknowledge that Jagmeet Singh is also part of the

00:03:37.160 government. And then Greg here, the guy on the left is like, easily just the most belligerent

00:03:41.920 liberal propagandist I've ever seen, at least on social media. He just bulldozes people doesn't

00:03:47.120 have a coherent point. And like just does the usual liberal tactics of you're racist, you're mega far

00:03:53.060 right and all this stuff. This is all the show is. This is why these people shouldn't be getting

00:03:58.280 1.5 billion dollars. You messed up the easiest show to put on television. Just grab three average

00:04:04.380 people, three people who kind of know what they're talking about from the three different political

00:04:07.700 perspectives. They, you know, they're not, they're not from any lobbying firm. They don't work for a

00:04:13.400 party. So they can just be unfiltered. They're willing to criticize their own side because they're

00:04:17.260 not being paid. And they're also willing to get into controversial issues because they're not working

00:04:21.600 for an extremely corporate lobbying firm. But no, the CBC messed it up. And they had three people on

00:04:27.160 who are robots, who can't say anything other than what their party wants or what their lobbying firm

00:04:31.380 will allow. And we just muck about for like 30 minutes. That is the thing with the CBC. And I'll

00:04:37.620 get into other CBC shows and sort of talk more broadly now. If you watch 24 hours of the CBC,

00:04:43.180 you will have seen probably, and not just because like there's obviously repeating news, that's fine.

00:04:48.500 In the national, CBC, the national, when Daniel Boardman and I, like my co-host here at the National

00:04:54.820 Telegraph, when we sat down to do an episode of his show, The Worst of the CBC, we watched a 45-minute

00:05:01.080 episode of the National. And they repeated in that 45 minutes, the same story six times from ever so

00:05:08.840 slightly different angles. And you could tell it was just the same journalist basically getting all

00:05:13.360 the footage to do this. It wasn't like, okay, it's the same story, but here's three very unique angles.

00:05:19.380 And we still have to travel across the country to do it. No, it was like some indigenous people in 1.00

00:05:24.620 Canada visiting the Vatican. And they did that five times. And each time they redid the story,

00:05:29.080 they would just interview a different person that was there. And it didn't add any real like content.

00:05:34.820 It was just stuff. And this show is the definition. This show, is it this way? Sorry. I'm always

00:05:40.660 trying to point to the right direction towards the footage. This show is stuff personified. They're

00:05:46.620 just talking about stuff. They're not saying anything about it. They're just describing the

00:05:51.060 stuff. And every once in a while, some liberal guy will say something absolutely crazy. And Fred

00:05:56.140 DeLore will be like, oh, well, you know, that's not quite fair. And then nothing will really happen

00:06:00.720 because they're not supposed to say anything. They should not be given a dime. We do not need

00:06:06.080 $1.4 billion of CBC funding. Like I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill conservative party

00:06:11.120 nomination. My name's Wyatt Claypool. If you're watching this, you can live there, buy a membership

00:06:14.420 and vote for me. But this is why this is why whenever people say, well, the CBC is part of

00:06:19.960 Canada's heritage. No, the Canada's heritage is this. It's four, three lobbyists talking about

00:06:26.140 nothing. At the very least, the CBC should have three quarters of its budget cut. And it should

00:06:32.300 only be doing weather and just basic just, you know, just like ticker tape readings of the news.

00:06:38.660 Oh, Justin Trudeau went here and said this. And opposition leader said this today. And Jagmeet

00:06:44.300 Singh whined about this. That's all it should be. It may be some northern radio shows in places where

00:06:49.880 you couldn't run a radio show at a profit. Fair enough. But this, this is torture. This is how you

00:06:57.020 drive people insane. This is just like people who are pseudo intellectual will watch this show and

00:07:03.500 pretend that there was content because the people talk a lot, but they don't actually talk about

00:07:08.080 anything. I'm even repeating myself talking about this. They're really getting to me here. You

00:07:13.480 should actually go and watch this. I will leave a link to this episode of Power and Politics in the

00:07:19.160 description. Go watch this show. It is boring. It's horrible. This is what's wrong with Canadian 1.00

00:07:25.860 politics. People just sort of soft shoe around serious issues and they just talk word salad for 30

00:07:33.080 minutes at a time. I hate politics like this. Okay. Anyways, that should be it for me today. If

00:07:39.500 you want to donate to the Give, Send, Go legal fund in the description below, that really helps myself,

00:07:44.840 the National Telegraph out. We have a billionaire developer suing us over nothing. He doesn't have

00:07:50.200 any evidence we've done something wrong. He's just offended at whatever we said in an article about him,

00:07:54.880 which we fully based off previous reports from the Globe and Mail. We said nothing unique about him,

00:07:59.720 but he's mad at us and he thinks he can bully us to give him an apology. Anyways, that doesn't really

00:08:04.860 matter too much. If you want to donate, sure. If you don't donate, we're not going anywhere.

00:08:09.220 And if you want to, again, buy a membership for me, if you live in the Calgary Signal Hill riding,

00:08:13.960 we want real conservatives representing strong conservative ridings. So if you could do that

00:08:18.500 for me, that's brilliant. My website, WyattClaypool.com is in the description of the video below if you want

00:08:23.920 to go sign up for the email list. And other than that, that should be it for me and I'll be back again

00:08:29.940 with another.
