00:00:00.000Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.
00:00:06.280Prime Minister Mark Carney and his liberal government have plunged Canada into a recession,
00:00:11.700but of course the legacy media is focused on the real story in all of this, and that is
00:00:17.760U.S. President Donald Trump making a 51st state joke on Truth Social. Literally, his post just
00:00:24.560said 51st state linking to a Bloomberg article that mentioned that Canada is in a recession.
00:00:31.340And this apparently is the real thing that the Canadian public should be focused on right now,
00:00:37.760according to the mainstream media. Check this out. These are the top stories about Canada and
00:00:43.460the U.S. right now. 51st state, Trump revives threat after Canada slips into recession.
00:00:49.140Guys, I don't like the joke. You don't like the joke. It's completely unproductive.
00:00:53.640It's not a threat. 51st state threat. He literally has posted 51st state as a way of mocking Mark Carney, who wants to diversify trade away from the United States for falling into a recession.
00:01:06.180We have here CP24. Canada is not for sale. Doug Ford fires back a Donald Trump. New York Times, Canada U.S. trade visit starts with another Trump 51st state post.
00:01:17.140National Post says Trump revised 51st state rhetoric as LeBlanc heads to Washington.
00:01:23.360The Hill, U.S. ambassador to Canada, shares 51st state post.
00:01:27.020My goodness, we're so in deep on this story.
00:01:29.000We are now reporting on the U.S. ambassador sharing a post that Donald Trump made.
00:01:36.140Now, is it productive for Pete Hoagstra to be sharing this stuff?
00:01:41.880Pete, I think, is a little bit too, I guess, focused on trying to please Trump with how he, you know,
00:01:47.980with the way he jabs at Mark Carney and the Canadian government than actually being effective,
00:01:53.820I do think that he should settle down on this.
00:01:56.440But the fact that the media is trying to make this the story of the recession
00:02:00.640proves to you that the media knows where its bread is buttered.
00:02:06.300They are subsidized by the Canadian government,
00:02:08.420so if there is a way of completely missing the point of the recession story,
00:02:12.460they will find a way of missing the point.
00:02:14.180And so instead of talking about the details of the recession and Mark Carney's denial of it and the liberals basically acting completely nonchalant and saying, well, we've created a few artificial jobs here and there. Who cares that we're in a recession? Instead, we're focusing on a dumb post by Trump and Pete Hoagstra.
00:02:33.860Great, great stuff, Canadian media. What would we do without you? And in fact, this infected
00:02:41.080the press conference that Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev did after Mark Carney
00:02:46.500finally addressed the recession in his own little media scrum this morning. An artificial media
00:02:52.580scrum, by the way. Mark Carney came up. One person said, oh, Prime Minister, what do you
00:02:58.700think of the recession? And then he gave a drive by shooting response about how, well, you know,
00:03:03.160actually we're building a foundation and we're making investments and this is all according to
00:03:07.840plan. Nobody shrieked out another question about, well, what about this? What about that? What about
00:03:12.620trade talks? You guys are suddenly running down to Washington, D.C. and New York to signal to
00:03:17.280Trump that you want to make a trade deal. Does this have to do with the recession? No questions
00:03:20.840like that. Dead silence. A couple of questions in French, one more in English that had nothing
00:03:25.000to do with the recession. It was a fake scrum. Probably the media were told you will get one
00:03:31.280response on the recession, that is it. And if you press them on it, you will never get an answer
00:03:36.460again from Mark Carney for at least two or three months to your outlet. The media is loyal to the
00:03:41.880liberals, and so, of course, they basically went along with what Carney wanted them to go along
00:03:48.740with. You were going to act like stenographers, take in my response, and report it later, no actual
00:03:55.860critical questions back. But of course, when Pierre Polyev came out to respond to what Mark
00:04:01.540Carney had said to the media going after the ways that Carney's statement were just objectively
00:04:06.880wrong when it comes to his, you know, claims that in certain areas, Canada's economy is doing really
00:04:12.100well, or we're building a foundation, or don't worry, guys. It's just a transitional period
00:04:18.940right now the Canadian economy is going through. Polyev started off his comments when he walked
00:04:23.580to the media with that. And of course, the next question, the first question the media asks is
00:04:28.700about Donald Trump. Guys, it is a joke. Can we stop pretending this isn't a joke? There's no
00:04:43.000Abrams tanks coming over the border of North Dakota and Manitoba trying to capture Winnipeg.
00:04:49.340There is no jets flying overhead trying to take out our aircraft on the tarmac.
00:20:42.280Then why were we promising to get a trade deal with him in the April 2025 election?
00:20:47.620Why was Carney making that like his big point?
00:20:50.000Why were we saying that he could like he's dealt with Donald Trump before and he can get a deal with him now and get a great trade deal for Canada?
00:21:23.540Oh, and look at all these Maple Maga people criticizing us for not having a deal.
00:21:27.500It's like, well, you are the one who promised to do it. I don't even know what to say to any of this. But yeah, so the conservatives really need to just keep the fire trained on Carney. There's going to be all these people out there in the woodwork, coming out of the woodwork to basically make this all about Trump and do exactly what what Polyev did.
00:21:47.840Yes, 51st state comments are dumb, but let's focus on what we can actually do,
00:21:53.820because Carney has been promising that it doesn't matter if he has a trade deal or not,
00:21:57.320he's going to deliver us a growing economy.
00:22:00.120These are posts I made yesterday just tackling the overall kind of recession coverage by the media.
