The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Trudeau makes a FOOL of himself on Stephen Colbert

00:00:00.000 I really want to talk about this frankly embarrassing interview that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did on Stephen Colbert's late night show yesterday.

00:00:10.560 It was both bad for Trudeau himself as well as Canada as a country.

00:00:15.260 Because if Americans see this as like our leader, the sort of person that our country elects, yeah, not good for Canada's stock.

00:00:23.240 Canada's stock is going down if Americans think that this is somebody that a significant portion of us actually approve of.

00:00:30.980 I don't want to belabor this thing too much.

00:00:32.960 I just want to jump in and talk about a few sections.

00:00:36.280 This was just, in my opinion, a terrible interview.

00:00:39.060 Trudeau obviously only showed up because Stephen Colbert was willing to give him mostly a back rub of an interview.

00:00:46.000 Why are you so progressive and wise?

00:00:48.100 Why is Pierre Polyev so far right and fascistic?

00:00:51.120 All this sort of nonsense.

00:00:53.240 But I just want to note before I start playing clips from this thing, look at the title of this video, the upload that the Stephen Colbert show did.

00:01:01.520 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Canada's Trump and the rise of far right xenophobia in Canada.

00:01:07.980 Like, goodness people.

00:01:10.000 Can we get a grip of ourselves?

00:01:12.000 Is that an actual fair take on what's going on in Canada?

00:01:15.820 Or is that just what the legacy media does on both sides of the border?

00:01:19.140 Oh, you're conservative?

00:01:20.460 Oh, you're far right.

00:01:21.580 Oh, you're the new Trump.

00:01:22.320 Because Trump's far right and evil because stuff.

00:01:25.260 Reasons.

00:01:25.760 Reasons.

00:01:26.180 Even though, like, what's he going to do?

00:01:28.020 Like, lower taxes?

00:01:29.220 What's Pierre Poly going to do?

00:01:30.440 Lower taxes?

00:01:31.240 Lower immigration? 0.60

00:01:32.560 Okay.

00:01:33.120 People approve of those policies.

00:01:35.260 At the end of the day, whether something's on the right or left, it's just policy positions.

00:01:41.060 That's all it is.

00:01:41.860 But people like to boil it down into, like, oh, it's, like, evil or something like that.

00:01:46.280 I don't agree with left-wing policy positions.

00:01:49.040 Most of them are not evil. 1.00

00:01:50.600 They're just dumb. 1.00

00:01:51.840 And I can explain why. 1.00

00:01:53.400 But so many lefties turn everything into, like, oh, that's disgusting and dark. 0.82

00:01:58.060 Rather than being able to say, well, I don't agree with lowering taxes for this and that 0.64

00:02:02.600 reason.

00:02:02.960 Or I don't think the immigration rate has to fall down for this or that reason.

00:02:07.220 They can't argue that because they would lose.

00:02:09.360 But anyways, here's Justin Trudeau on Stephen Colbert's show getting some nice softballs

00:02:14.400 about the UN.

00:02:15.060 The UN comes together, you know, every year as a reminder, as we look at all the issues

00:02:24.820 that are brought to the UN General Assembly and the speeches of the different world leaders

00:02:27.860 that go there.

00:02:29.940 Does the UN General Assembly every year make you more or less hopeful?

00:02:33.720 Like, are you reminded of the challenges or the possibilities more?

00:02:38.080 My goodness.

00:02:39.700 What kind of question is that? 0.97

00:02:41.740 And this is what I mean by saying that Stephen Colbert makes a fool of himself in his interview. 0.98

00:02:46.040 He looks bad. 0.97

00:02:47.700 Who cares about the UN?

00:02:49.400 This is such a weird, elitist bubble kind of a question.

00:02:54.360 So the UN General Assembly met recently.

00:02:57.180 And is it making you feel hopeful?

00:02:59.380 Are you feeling, like, you know, are you feeling, like, uplifted by the UN speeches?

00:03:05.300 Nobody watches the UN.

00:03:07.400 Nobody does.

00:03:08.120 Other than people like Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland and people who put, like,

00:03:12.720 10 flags in their bios, nobody cares what happens to the UN because it's an irrelevant organization.

00:03:18.180 Every time people follow recommendations, policy recommendations from the UN, things get worse.

00:03:23.500 Just look at UNDRIP.

00:03:24.540 Just look at a lot of green policies that are now destroying Europe and parts of, like, you

00:03:29.080 know, Canada because everyone thinks that oil and gas is now evil while China keeps building

00:03:34.260 more coal plants and we keep divesting ourselves from natural gas.

00:03:37.760 But anyways, I will let Justin Trudeau get to the answer here.

00:03:40.940 Obviously both.

00:03:42.100 But you have to be fundamentally hopeful in this job and particularly in this time where

00:03:49.320 it's, the challenges are monumental.

00:03:52.440 We don't have to list them.

00:03:53.260 But if you don't believe that you can actually, you know, work with others and make a positive

00:04:01.100 difference, then you're not on the right line of work.

00:04:03.860 I mean, people elect us, send us into office for the time we're in to try and have the best

00:04:09.340 impact on, you know, how the world is unfolding for them.

00:04:12.980 And if you're not convinced that you can make a positive difference, then you're not on the

00:04:18.780 right line of work.

00:04:20.620 I will say it's good.

00:04:23.460 It's good that you want to get into politics to make a positive difference.

00:04:27.620 I'm going to posit that after nine years, if things have gotten worse, I don't care if

00:04:31.760 that you're convinced yourself that you're trying to make a positive difference.

00:04:36.580 I care about results.

00:04:38.200 You know, pen and paper, can we actually figure out if people are better off at the end of

00:04:43.180 the day after nine years of their leadership?

00:04:45.880 That's a better metric.

00:04:47.320 But like Trudeau wants to talk about vagaries around, you know, well, you got to really

00:04:51.780 want to care about, you got to want to care about people in this line of work.

00:04:55.760 You want to make a positive difference.

00:04:58.340 No, no.

00:04:59.300 All the people in the UN who are, when I say people in the UN, I know some people show

00:05:03.760 up and speak and they don't really care about it.

00:05:05.520 Like there's a lot of world leaders who just show up.

00:05:08.200 And frankly, dunk on a lot of the other members of the UN because the UN is a joke

00:05:13.160 organization that uplifts irrelevant countries and dictatorships and pretends they're on

00:05:17.720 the level with countries like the United Kingdom, USA and Canada. 0.99

00:05:22.660 But no, this is just fluff garbage. 0.93

00:05:26.280 This is I don't know who would like watch this and say, oh, he did such a great job. 0.96

00:05:30.520 But I did save people who are like big Trudeau cheerleaders saying like, oh, he did such

00:05:35.220 a great job in Stephen Colbert.

00:05:37.140 Who listens to this answer?

00:05:39.140 What undecided voter in Canada watches this answer and says, give him another four years.

00:05:44.620 Come on.

00:05:45.180 Give the boy his four years.

00:05:47.580 He's still convinced he can get the job done.

00:05:49.740 Well, here's one thing, you know, it's something that I'm sure that it's coming, comes, you

00:06:01.820 know, quite clearly when the UN General Assembly is that the far right and flirtations with

00:06:10.980 fascism at the very least is rising across the globe.

00:06:14.780 Even in Canada, your conservative party leader, your opponent there has been called Canada's

00:06:20.580 Trump.

00:06:21.260 And I'm sorry about that.

00:06:24.900 And how much did how much did Justin Trudeau pay this guy to say this stuff?

00:06:28.780 Like, what?

00:06:30.060 Oh, he cuts.

00:06:31.760 They want strength in the military.

00:06:33.340 They want lower immigration rates, lower illegal immigration rates.

00:06:37.040 It's like, OK.

00:06:39.160 Personality wise, they're really not the same person.

00:06:41.420 Same policies?

00:06:42.520 Sure.

00:06:42.780 But those policies are popular.

00:06:44.340 So what's your actual point here, Stephen? 0.99

00:06:46.320 This is where Stephen is looking like a massive shill and fool. 0.97

00:06:49.660 But I'm curious why at least some form of nativism or far right xenophobia might grow in a country 0.98

00:07:00.440 even as polite as Canada.

00:07:02.520 Why do you think this is getting a foothold even in your country?

00:07:06.620 And can Stephen Colbert and Justin Trudeau, can they define what does xenophobia mean to

00:07:12.100 you?

00:07:13.020 Are you talking about having problems with 500,000 new permanent residents per year entering

00:07:19.540 the country plus temporary foreign workers and students?

00:07:21.780 You know, I've sat down with a lot of South Asian people in British Columbia since I'm

00:07:26.180 here helping with the BC Conservatives in the British Columbia provincial election.

00:07:29.680 South Asian voters don't like how high immigration is.

00:07:32.620 They find it annoying.

00:07:33.980 They don't.

00:07:34.620 They don't.

00:07:34.980 Just because the people who are coming into Canada are heavily coming from places like

00:07:39.300 Punjab and the rest of India doesn't mean that they're affiliated with them.

00:07:42.780 If anything, that's one of the most racist things you could possibly posit to somebody

00:07:47.120 that, oh, well, you must want more of these people because they look like you.

00:07:51.120 No, they're not part of their family.

00:07:52.920 They don't owe these people anything.

00:07:54.800 Just as if we had a bunch of people showing up from Romania, just hundreds of thousands

00:07:59.080 of Romanians.

00:07:59.720 I wouldn't be like, well, I kind of look like a Romanian person, so I'm cool with these

00:08:03.480 people.

00:08:04.020 That's not how that works at all.

00:08:06.100 At all whatsoever.

00:08:07.540 You see, that phrase, even in Canada, I mean, we're not some magical place of unicorns

00:08:14.120 and rainbows all the time.

00:08:15.160 We got more than our fair share, but like the things that we've managed to do, we've

00:08:21.080 had to work really, really hard at.

00:08:22.560 I mean, universal health care was, you know, decades of trying to bring people together

00:08:29.020 and make it happen.

00:08:30.160 We've we've moved forward on on, you know, world leading fight against climate change

00:08:36.820 with a price on pollution.

00:08:37.900 We're moving forward with with dental care for for low income Canadians.

00:08:42.440 We're moving forward to $10 a day child care.

00:08:44.960 These are things that we have to fight for and that are really hard to do.

00:08:49.480 But they haven't worked, you know, scusi, but they haven't worked, dude.

00:08:54.960 They're like actually failed programs or like you haven't actually lowered raw emissions

00:09:00.300 or even emissions per capita were already going down for decades before you got into office.

00:09:05.560 Like, I don't even know what to say to any of this.

00:09:06.900 But you can bring people together around thoughtful ideas and you can also lose those

00:09:12.640 things, too.

00:09:13.240 I mean, there's a there's a big argument right now about whether whether dental care

00:09:17.380 even exists.

00:09:18.120 We've delivered it to 700,000 people across the country.

00:09:20.600 And my opponent is gaslighting us and saying, oh, dental care doesn't even exist yet.

00:09:24.580 How many?

00:09:26.560 Yeah, like the thing that the liberals have honestly been cooking the numbers around dental

00:09:31.060 care when the program was only a few months old.

00:09:33.540 They're like, well, we deliver dental care to a million people.

00:09:36.040 It's like, yeah, a million people who qualify for dental care because it's pretty much everyone

00:09:41.100 had gone to a dentist.

00:09:42.380 But most people who are going to the dentist and are probably people who already had a

00:09:47.160 dental plan.

00:09:48.180 The thing is that I'm not trying to underplay how much some dental care plans can cost.

00:09:53.780 But overall, like if dental care costs a lot to you, it's probably just because the economy

00:09:58.840 sucks and the government's taking so much money away from you that the 30 bucks a month to

00:10:03.940 have full dental care is considered a lot of money. 0.96

00:10:06.640 But the people who go for dental care still are the people who cared about dental care

00:10:10.540 and purchased dental care.

00:10:11.920 There's a lot of people who don't have dental care who could easily afford it.

00:10:14.720 They're like they make hundreds of thousands a year.

00:10:16.920 They just don't value dental care and they don't use it.

00:10:19.040 And that's why we're able to cook numbers because we're like a million people like who

00:10:23.560 qualified for dental care, got dental care, but they were disproportionately the people

00:10:27.200 who already had plans.

00:10:28.200 So it's actually not worked at all.

00:10:30.080 And there's not that many dentists who are willing to take the government plans.

00:10:33.280 How many times have you been elected as prime minister?

00:10:36.300 Three times.

00:10:37.240 Too many.

00:10:37.900 Three times in a row.

00:10:38.500 Three times in a row.

00:10:39.240 Okay.

00:10:39.560 And that's the record, right?

00:10:41.060 Because one other person has done.

00:10:42.740 Has anyone been four?

00:10:43.940 My father was four, but there was a break in the middle.

00:10:46.320 Oh, but not contiguously, not contiguously.

00:10:48.380 You have to go back a pretty long time.

00:10:50.580 Like Stephen Colbert thinks like it's like the record to get three.

00:10:54.980 Like maybe it's just like, I guess Americans don't really follow Canadian politics that

00:10:58.640 much and nor I guess should they, because it's kind of boring.

00:11:01.260 But like, no, like, you know, William Lyon, Mackenzie King had like five, I think.

00:11:06.500 How many did like Johnny McDonald have?

00:11:08.580 A lot of these people have tons of terms, loads of terms.

00:11:10.860 I think Laurier must have at least had three.

00:11:13.180 So yeah, like saying like, oh, is that a record?

00:11:14.800 Or it's just, yeah, no, it's not.

00:11:17.100 Too long way.

00:11:17.760 For a piece.

00:11:18.780 Okay.

00:11:19.180 Yeah.

00:11:19.380 Well.

00:11:21.520 I had a dilemma right there.

00:11:23.220 The AC started up right next to me.

00:11:25.680 I'm not sure if people can hear that in the mic and that would have been annoying.

00:11:28.500 But I'll let Justin Trudeau and Stephen Colbert keep nattering about stuff here.

00:11:32.820 Heading into next year's election, your party has lost some seats in parliament.

00:11:36.600 Your party is 17 points behind in the polls.

00:11:40.440 And this week you're wrong.

00:11:41.580 Even Stephen has to mention how bad the polling is.

00:11:44.300 At least they strategically grabbed a poll where they weren't 22 points underwater because

00:11:49.960 there are those that exist.

00:11:51.800 And actually, I believe the average lead these days for the conservatives is like 20 points.

00:11:57.280 17 is borderline an outlier.

00:12:00.220 That's like the nice polls where the liberals are getting like 25% and then like the conservatives

00:12:05.320 are getting like 43 or whatever.

00:12:07.400 It's not been fun out there.

00:12:09.080 Rivals are calling a vote to possibly force you out of office.

00:12:13.580 That is force an election.

00:12:16.160 Force an election.

00:12:16.780 Okay.

00:12:17.000 So force an election.

00:12:18.240 Snap election, I believe it's called.

00:12:19.780 Is that true?

00:12:20.080 I love that.

00:12:22.040 Give the devil's due.

00:12:23.320 What's their rationale?

00:12:24.300 What would you imagine a reasonable argument for their complaints is?

00:12:27.800 Well, that it's a really tough time in Canada right now.

00:12:30.020 People are hurting.

00:12:31.300 People are having trouble paying for groceries.

00:12:33.300 This is going to make a great conservative ad.

00:12:36.980 I already see it.

00:12:38.220 This is going to make a great conservative ad.

00:12:40.320 But, you know, what's Justin Trudeau's Canada like?

00:12:42.800 And then just play this five-second clip.

00:12:44.660 Rent, filling up the tank.

00:12:47.380 There's a lot of...

00:12:48.060 Comparable to what's happening in the United States?

00:12:49.360 Like a similar situation?

00:12:50.720 Some of the things are a little trickier in Canada.

00:12:53.240 We've lost a little ground over the past decades on building housing.

00:12:57.100 So the housing crisis is a little sharper.

00:12:59.880 However, our economic outlook is slightly more positive than the United States right

00:13:04.260 now on a macro level.

00:13:05.660 But people don't feel it when they're buying for groceries.

00:13:08.160 So there's a lot of frustration.

00:13:10.060 And that's one of the reasons why, even though...

00:13:13.400 But he basically just said something here that always drives him up the wall.

00:13:16.880 Whenever the liberals say, the economy is growing, the GDP is up.

00:13:19.580 I'm like, yeah, more warm bodies, more people are entering the country.

00:13:23.320 You couldn't have a single human being enter a country and not add to the economy

00:13:27.420 unless they literally have zero dollars to their names.

00:13:29.680 They're not going to work and they just want benefits.

00:13:32.100 That's not a person that exists.

00:13:33.520 Everyone comes with an inherent small amount of wealth, at the very least.

00:13:37.760 And they usually do some work, even at the bare minimum, they add to the economy.

00:13:42.520 Sure.

00:13:43.160 But...

00:13:43.380 And then he just admitted there that, yeah, no matter what we've been doing,

00:13:46.580 which is just trying to pump the raw GDP, people's actual purchasing power is going down.

00:13:52.520 Per capita GDP is going down.

00:13:54.220 And he's acting like this is like a mystery.

00:13:56.040 People aren't feeling the economic benefits of the grocery store.

00:13:59.780 Well, of course.

00:14:01.320 Yes.

00:14:01.700 If everyone had a dollar in their pocket who was entering the country and we had a trillion 0.99

00:14:06.660 of them enter the country, yes, the GDP technically just went up.

00:14:10.560 If they spend those dollars, buy one trillion.

00:14:12.860 But are we actually then better off as per capita incomes hit the floor and, you know, everything,

00:14:20.240 like all of our programs become completely stretched, there's no jobs, all that stuff?

00:14:24.780 Obviously not.

00:14:25.940 Hyperbolic example.

00:14:27.220 But the hyperbole is to demonstrate a point here.

00:14:30.320 Our economy is, by sort of macro metrics, doing very well.

00:14:36.000 We're saying, okay, even if it's doing well macro, let's invest more in people.

00:14:41.040 Let's move forward on $10 a day child care right across the country. 0.90

00:14:43.960 Let's move forward on dental care.

00:14:45.840 Let's move forward on pharma care.

00:14:47.300 So diabetes medication and prescription contraceptives will be free.

00:14:50.440 These are the kinds of things that we're investing in so people can actually get a relief and have more money to pay for groceries or what have you.

00:15:01.740 I'm just going to end it there because you don't need to watch the entire interview through me here.

00:15:06.180 But, like, that's such a terrible answer.

00:15:08.840 Like, people aren't feeling the major economic growth that we have.

00:15:13.640 So we're going to invest in contraceptives?

00:15:16.880 Like, guys, yeah, I guess for some people.

00:15:19.540 And you could have just made it a plan for low-income seniors or low-income people in general to give them cheap diabetes medication in terms of, like, heavily subsidized diabetes medication.

00:15:30.940 Fair enough.

00:15:31.360 It was a low-income program.

00:15:32.780 I could say yes to it.

00:15:34.200 But nobody is going to be, like, suddenly, like, man, the economy sucked.

00:15:37.800 But then I started getting free contraceptives.

00:15:40.240 This place is great.

00:15:42.240 Nobody thinks like this.

00:15:43.540 But he thinks that people think like this.

00:15:45.700 Every once in a while, somebody will comment at me, whether in person or, like, you know, online, talking about how, well, Trudeau knows what he's doing.

00:15:55.420 He has a plan to win this next election.

00:15:57.380 They're not Trudeau cheerleaders.

00:15:58.920 They're very much the opposite. 0.70

00:15:59.940 They hate Justin Trudeau's guts.

00:16:01.520 They just assume that Justin Trudeau has a grand plan to, like, buy off voters or something like that.

00:16:06.540 You know, you get a lot of parties that genuinely try and do that in terms of they announce a big amount of spending, and I'm going to give you $1,000.

00:16:14.100 You know, we have a big rebate program that will give you $1,000 if you vote for us.

00:16:18.120 And it's like not – they're not giving them a rebate for any reasons, basically just sending people checks.

00:16:22.400 Like, the BC Conservatives actually have a great plan that actually makes sense to give people the ability to write off a large portion of their rent costs and mortgage costs per month off of their income taxes.

00:16:33.740 It'd be a great tax cut for a lot of people because people at the lower end of the income spectrum don't pay a lot of provincial income tax.

00:16:40.720 But this would actually probably result in them getting a full-on rebate, not just paying less taxes.

00:16:47.340 So that's a good policy because it's actually giving people back their own money that they gave to the government.

00:16:53.220 Some people are trying to display this like, oh, that would cost $3.5 billion.

00:16:56.320 It doesn't cost any money to give people their own money back. 0.99

00:16:59.660 I hate the stupid talking point that tax cuts will cost $5 billion. 0.99

00:17:04.360 Oh, on the national level, a poly of cutting this whatever would cost this much. 1.00

00:17:09.620 No, it doesn't cost anything to cut taxes. 0.94

00:17:12.920 The other garbage we spend on does cost money.

00:17:15.860 And when I say garbage, I mean like DEI programs, the bloat of HR and administration, a lot of other just initiatives that don't do anything for anybody. 0.96

00:17:24.860 It just creates fake jobs in the federal government. 0.69

00:17:28.040 And I'm very serious about that.

00:17:30.820 Fake jobs.

00:17:32.080 There is a reason why in the federal government they have the joke of working for club fed, like club med, because it's so easy to work many of these jobs.

00:17:41.520 You can just like file a couple of reports in a week about nothing.

00:17:45.640 Nobody's going to read them.

00:17:46.740 You get paid massive amounts of money to do it.

00:17:49.140 You don't even have to come into the office more than three times a week these days.

00:17:52.520 It's insane.

00:17:53.280 You can work from home and just play Tetris or whatever.

00:17:55.440 And then they pass this ridiculous new policy of like, you know, workers, some workers rights policy.

00:18:01.480 And it only applies to federally regulated workers.

00:18:04.080 And it says, you don't have to like, you don't have to state you like a manager cannot make you stay late at work to complete tasks or whatever.

00:18:12.600 And it's like, what?

00:18:14.700 Yes, because a lot of these federal employees, and I'm sure some of them are working super hard.

00:18:19.440 No doubt.

00:18:20.420 Some of them actually do have real jobs in government because there are base level jobs that we do need to be filled.

00:18:25.540 But a lot of these positions, like what scenario is this?

00:18:28.840 Hey, boss man, you can't make me stay back at work and play another game of Tetris.

00:18:32.800 Hey, I get to go home.

00:18:34.240 I, you know, like I can't keep burning the candle at both ends here.

00:18:38.320 I got to go recharge by doing the same thing I was doing at work, but at home.

00:18:41.820 I got to watch some Netflix at home.

00:18:43.560 I don't get it.

00:18:44.480 Anyways, but I want to quickly bring up, to not make this too rambly, I want to quickly bring up this post that someone made about the Colbert interview that I just saw, found was so intriguing that somebody actually posted this.

00:19:02.700 Deborah Gibson here, and it's not like this isn't a major person, like, you know, don't ask this person to go after them.

00:19:09.840 But I saw so many people posting stuff like this.

00:19:12.560 Most of the comments of this are positive, saying, oh, yeah, he did do a great job.

00:19:16.660 Deborah Gibson here saying, our prime minister was effing fantastic on Stephen Colbert.

00:19:23.360 What do you mean by fantastic?

00:19:24.820 Like, what is your definition of fantastic here?

00:19:27.980 You can have your opinion.

00:19:29.620 I get it.

00:19:30.120 Have your own opinion about how Trudeau did.

00:19:32.840 But, like, even if you're a liberal cheerleader or you want the liberals to win, I don't.

00:19:39.720 I'm a conservative.

00:19:40.640 I want the conservatives to win and do as many very conservative things as possible.

00:19:45.400 That doesn't make Trudeau look good.

00:19:46.840 This is kind of like every time, and I'm not trying to get too much into American politics just because I want this channel to be very Canadian in orientation.

00:19:55.480 Whenever people be like, oh, Kamala Harris just did a great interview on whatever show. 1.00

00:19:59.800 And you watch it, and you're like, you have to watch this interview through the lens of a moderate.

00:20:04.460 When I say moderate, not that they don't have strong opinions about everything.

00:20:07.580 Moderates often have strong opinions, but just about slightly different things than a party partisan would.

00:20:13.460 So, like, you know, a Republican has very conservative opinions on pretty much everything, and a Democrat has more liberal opinions on everything.

00:20:20.040 And then moderates will have conservative opinions on some things and very liberal opinions on other things. 0.98

00:20:24.400 Aaron O'Toole's conception that moderates don't have strong opinions about things is stupid, but whatever. 0.94

00:20:29.380 Not to go down too many rabbit holes here, but they'll be like, oh, Kamala Harris did so well. 0.98

00:20:33.140 And you're like, watch the interview.

00:20:35.400 For a lot of moderate voters, that was rambly, wasn't giving them clear answers on things.

00:20:40.640 And they, because they're not a partisan cheerleader, don't know what you're talking about.

00:20:44.560 Same thing that happens with Trump, too, where he'll do an interview where it probably didn't do him any favors.

00:20:49.180 It didn't win over any people he wasn't already having on his side.

00:20:53.020 And people will be like, oh, that was a great interview.

00:20:54.560 It wasn't.

00:20:55.160 It wasn't, because you have to achieve a goal with an interview.

00:20:57.960 I don't know what goal Justin Trudeau was hoping to achieve with this interview.

00:21:02.180 I guess he wanted to look like the fashionable prime minister.

00:21:05.940 Oh, look, he's going on all the late night shows.

00:21:08.900 Who's in Canada was planning on voting for the conservatives?

00:21:12.980 45% of the country in some polls was going to say, oh, I'll go back liberal because of this.

00:21:17.480 Nobody, not a single person.

00:21:18.820 They talked about the UN and how hopeful does the UN make you feel?

00:21:23.300 Does it really cause a glow in your heart to be at the UN?

00:21:27.720 Prime Minister Trudeau, oh, yes, it really does.

00:21:30.120 And we've got to talk about serious issues and, like, Pierre Polyev is far right and xenophobic or whatever. 0.99

00:21:35.760 It's just tired crap. 0.94

00:21:38.420 Anyways, that's it for me today, guys. 0.59

00:21:40.580 If you want to fund the legal fund that we have in the description below, that would be greatly appreciated.

00:21:46.180 I've spent more than $33,000 now defending the National Telegraph in court from this Chinese billionaire suing us for defamation, 0.95

00:21:55.260 which in almost three years now, he actually hasn't filed any evidence to substantiate.

00:22:00.820 His evidence is his LinkedIn profile, his company website, which I guess show that he's such a great guy.

00:22:06.380 Why would your guest writer even mention anything bad about me, even though everything we mentioned was based on a Globe and Mail article?

00:22:13.780 We basically reported nothing new.

00:22:15.660 And then he added in our libel, his libel notice he sent to us, which doesn't mean anything.

00:22:21.040 He basically, a libel notice is basically just this, hey, stop that.

00:22:25.300 There's no actual evidence in the libel notice.

00:22:27.040 It's just basically saying, I'm taking issue with you saying this.

00:22:29.640 And then his, then the article we wrote, that was his evidence.

00:22:33.540 It was like nothing.

00:22:34.860 And he still hasn't even gotten back to us on a bunch of things we asked for during his deposition.

00:22:39.040 But whatever, I guess, you know, Alberta doesn't have anti-slap legislation, which means these things can go on for years.

00:22:46.540 And that's what's happened.

00:22:47.400 So if you guys want to donate, it's in the description below.

00:22:49.720 Give, send, go, as well as pinned in the comments below.

00:22:53.000 Just a bit of a longer-ish video.

00:22:54.660 Sorry about that.

00:22:55.840 Or maybe that's what you like.

00:22:57.520 I don't know.

00:22:58.120 I don't know your life.

00:22:59.460 I don't know what you like or dislike.

00:23:01.700 But hopefully you'll like this video, you know, like, share, and subscribe.

00:23:05.380 Do all those things.

00:23:06.200 Smooth transition.

00:23:07.920 See you guys later.

00:23:09.040 Bye-bye.
