Transcript
00:00:02.760
Well, Canadian politics is about to get way dumber than it normally is,
00:00:07.460
because U.S. President Donald Trump condemned Prime Minister Mark Carney
00:00:11.740
and his liberal government for cozying up with communist China.
00:00:21.000
because we know the liberals will just double down on anything Trump tells them not to do.
00:00:26.760
Liberals, if Trump told them not to play in traffic,
00:00:30.280
the next day would be playing Frogger across an eight-lane highway.
00:00:35.880
they will not engage rationally with anything he says.
00:00:39.680
So, I want to take you guys through today what Trump said,
00:00:43.920
Carney's response, and how this is putting Canada in way worse of a position
00:00:48.580
for no reason other than Mark Carney's own political gain.
00:00:52.580
Because remember, Carney wants to fight with Trump
00:00:55.880
because he believes that's his ticket to getting a majority government,
00:00:59.420
not being good at his job, that's tough, and he doesn't want to try it.
00:01:03.640
He instead wants to just try and get all the anti-American voters out
00:01:07.380
for the Liberal Party if a snap election occurs.
00:01:10.420
But before we get into reading some of this stuff,
00:01:13.360
I just want to remind you guys, if you like the show,

00:01:34.480
But now, speeding along to what Trump posted just this morning,
00:01:42.080
which is in fact a White House-controlled X account,
00:01:48.180
and they posted an image of Donald Trump's post on Truth Social.
00:01:53.560
So it says right here, it's from Donald J. Trump,
00:01:56.100
If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a, quote,
00:02:00.480
drop-off port, unquote, for China to send goods and products into the United States,
00:02:07.260
China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it,
00:02:10.460
including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.
00:02:19.880
against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA.
00:02:23.060
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President DJT.
00:02:27.000
Now, again, I don't want any more tariffs on Canada,
00:02:32.920
At the same time, it's almost like Carney and the liberals did this to the country themselves.
00:02:41.180
And although there are some hack commentators out there saying,
00:02:50.540
If Canada just negotiated on trade with the Chinese government,
00:02:59.380
but I didn't really see that much wrong with Carney going and speaking to them.
00:03:03.440
It was more so silly because he acts like this is like the deal of a century
00:03:09.380
and even if we double them, it's like a drop in the bucket.
00:03:13.360
I was bothered by his statements about cultural integration with China,
00:03:18.460
having a closer security partnership with China,
00:03:21.820
the country that Carney less than a year ago said was our top national security threat.
00:03:31.400
to actually making sure that our relationship with China
00:03:37.560
We just don't care because Carney wants a win on the board,
00:03:41.160
and he wants to thumb his nose at Donald Trump,
00:03:45.240
He is only working with China this closely to spite Trump.
00:03:49.720
And I don't think he has the ego to be able to climb down and say,
00:03:54.380
I'll cut off China, but we're going to have no tariffs,
00:04:00.480
But I don't think that that's what Carney is doing right now
00:04:03.000
based on the statement he then released after this.
00:04:05.960
I have another statement from Trump that I want to read here quickly.
00:04:11.140
This was posted by Drea Humphrey from Rebel News,
00:04:14.700
and it's still just a post from Donald Trump's Truth Social account.
00:04:18.720
Drea Humphrey says, who's fantastic, by the way,
00:04:21.980
she helped cover the UBC riot that happened against 1BC leader Dallas Brody
00:04:31.300
some would say China has already gotten a good part of Canada.
00:04:34.740
I mean, what other country do you know has their own secret police stations here?
00:04:42.060
I think the Iranians effectively had their own hidden police forces around Canada
00:04:47.140
who are IRGC-linked the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:04:52.100
And the image that Drea posted was another Trump Truth Social post,
00:04:56.580
Now, a lot of Canadians are going to take this as a threat
00:05:15.980
Ergo, we need to move closer to the hostile anti-Western regime of China.
00:05:21.340
We need to be friendlier with the regime still in place in Venezuela, Russia, Iran,
00:05:37.520
But that's how we should actually think about these things.
00:05:40.060
You know, rationally, weighing the pluses and minuses.
00:05:43.820
By the way, the Greenland thing's already over.
00:05:46.520
I thought Trump was silly for pursuing the Greenland thing this long.
00:05:52.300
because Trump likes to talk tough in order to get a deal made.
00:05:55.620
He always asks for 500% of what he actually wants
00:06:00.900
So he got some extra middle rural rights in Greenland
00:06:03.380
and a little bit of an easier time getting military bases,
00:06:08.340
So that talking point from the liberals is done,
00:06:13.080
China is still threatening our allies in the Pacific,
00:06:20.340
But for some reason, we're all offended by Trump's words
00:06:26.180
more than the forced laborers in Uyghur concentration camps.
00:06:31.440
That is less offensive to people like Laura Babcock and Mark Carney
00:06:37.720
So now I want to get to the statement that Mark Carney put out today.
00:06:44.200
Because remember, that statement by the White House,
00:06:47.620
that posting of theirs was from eight hours ago.
00:06:51.120
Now, this post is from three hours ago from Mark Carney's own ex-account.
00:06:57.480
So it is obviously being, this is a calculated posting by the Carney liberals.
00:07:06.100
you clear your schedule of all the posts that you were going to make that day
00:07:23.500
You are choosing to put your hard-earned dollars behind Canadian businesses
00:07:31.600
have nothing to actually do with things the liberals did.
00:07:35.240
It is just him basically saying Canadians are buying more Canadian stuff.
00:07:38.100
It's like, okay, that's nice if you can afford to do it.
00:07:54.520
because he is not doing a tax cut and regulation reduction at the same time,
00:07:59.980
just means that a lot of projects that the government undertakes
00:08:10.180
is that if something is too expensive in your own country,
00:08:19.920
like we would actually rely more on our resources domestically,
00:08:25.680
And we can achieve that by doing one simple thing,
00:08:30.840
So instead, we're just going to subsidize Canadian industries
00:08:33.440
by having the government only use Canadian products
00:08:45.300
From millions of homes that will improve affordability,
00:08:47.980
to major projects that will transform our economy,
00:08:52.720
that will protect Canadians and our sovereignty.
00:08:57.900
so again, this is an anti-American thing that they just did here.
00:09:10.020
He's obviously subtweeting the president of the United States
00:09:21.600
so he doesn't mean about separating from China.
00:09:23.500
He wants to separate more from the United States,
00:09:27.380
that he's still really hesitant to invest it in at all
00:09:33.600
He's not talking about protecting the Arctic from the Russians.
00:09:35.940
He's talking about protecting Canada from the Americans,
00:09:38.460
this delusional idea that Canadians have to stand up
00:09:43.260
who have not threatened our security since 1815.
00:09:55.600
Our mills keep going out of business, by the way.
00:09:57.600
With Canadian technology and with Canadian workers,
00:10:29.640
Our relationship with the United States is worse,
00:10:31.940
and we're only signing trade deals with countries
00:10:34.380
that either really don't want more of our resources,
00:10:38.620
or it's small countries in terms of our trade relationship with them.
00:10:43.700
Small deals with Indonesia that maybe will take that
00:10:55.180
which is, in the grand scheme of things, very, very small.
00:11:00.440
but not when you contrast them with all the massive losses
00:11:03.360
that completely offset the wins that we're having here.
00:11:10.380
The thing is that we are going to allow a very large country
00:11:13.660
to start dumping increasing amounts of EVs onto our market
00:11:21.580
They make relationships with specific countries,
00:11:26.060
They don't spread out their exports regionally.
00:11:32.280
and then that economy basically can't exist without China.
00:11:41.860
But because he said so, we're going to double down.
00:11:52.400
I want to show, we need to play some videos from Laura Babcock
00:12:13.480
who will justify absolutely anything Mark Carney does
00:12:18.840
even if Carney is doing the opposite of what he ran on.
00:12:22.380
But here's Laura Babcock talking about the 51st state stuff.
00:12:25.280
I don't think a single Canadian out there should be supporting Trump
00:12:30.280
after the egregious, disgusting, shameful comments that he made
00:12:33.760
about the blood that was sacrificed by 158 of our military
00:12:38.260
and in service of the United States Article 5 after 9-11.
00:12:45.580
Didn't this lady probably oppose Stephen Harper and Paul Martin
00:12:48.920
from wanting to be involved in, like, Iraq and Afghanistan?
00:12:53.460
You get these kind of, like, Gen X hippies like Laura Babcock
00:12:57.440
who vote for, like, the big government Liberals
00:12:59.500
who will change their positions depending on what Trump says.
00:13:03.700
So these people who probably consider themselves, like,
00:13:08.920
simply because Trump made a slightly rude remark about Canada.
00:13:14.340
And I know, like, the Conservatives and other people,
00:13:18.660
oh, Trump should respect that we had a lot of our troops in Afghanistan.
00:13:23.540
We actually have very, very high-quality troops.
00:13:28.120
outside of Canada, outside of the United States,
00:13:30.880
was actually the country of Georgia, by the way,
00:13:34.920
but they send, like, 3,000 troops into Iraq and Afghanistan,
00:13:45.320
documenting Tsarist era and then Bolshevik era cartoons
00:13:50.100
before Georgia got taken over by the Soviet Union.
00:13:55.840
But, yeah, it's good to basically stand up for our troops
00:13:59.020
and say that the Americans should respect our sacrifices.
00:14:05.120
But the thing is that this is just being used by the Liberals
00:14:12.360
Trump said something bad about Iraq and Afghanistan
00:14:16.540
Well, let's get in bed with the Chinese government.
00:14:25.420
But here's a 45-second video from Laura Babcock.
00:14:33.340
I just save her videos knowing she's freaking out about Trump in some way
00:14:42.800
that there is no deal to be made in good faith,
00:14:52.540
for our military who sacrificed their lives and gave their blood.
00:14:56.320
But he has no respect for Canada or anybody else.
00:15:01.760
And it's certainly not somebody or a regime that you appease.
00:15:18.620
World history has shown us that that is the wrong approach.
00:15:26.260
You know, I saw Spencer Fernando started going on her show.
00:15:33.940
There are better liberals out there to speak to than Laura Babcock.
00:15:46.740
threatened the families of people back in China
00:15:53.740
You know, that country that steals our intellectual property.
00:16:45.960
I tend to not like hyperbolic language overall.
