00:00:00.000 what do you see as the future for Canada? You know, America seems to be turning around right
00:00:04.140 now. We seem like we got to the precipice, we looked into the abyss, and we're coming back.
00:00:09.120 I don't see that moment for you guys. Yeah, you're exactly right. You really needed a
00:00:14.420 cataclysmic figure like Donald Trump to be able to turn things around. Now, anybody who comes in
00:00:21.480 is going to be better than Justin Trudeau. So there is going to be an improvement of sorts,
00:00:25.860 but it certainly will not be anything like what Donald Trump has been able to now invigorate and
00:00:32.520 so on. So I'm cautiously optimistic that things will improve, but unfortunately, the demographic
00:00:38.400 realities in Canada in general, and in Quebec and Montreal in particular, are so astounding that
00:00:45.740 I don't see how... I mean, it'll just be a slow walk into the abyss of infinite lunacy, really.
00:00:51.860 Yeah. That's got to be tough to sit with as a Canadian. I mean, you lived through this once
00:00:57.340 already. I mean, Lebanon was a Christian country. Within our lifetime, right? Lebanon was about 65%
00:01:03.980 Christian, and now it's flipped the other way around. It's about 65% Muslim, and it didn't take 1.00
00:01:10.520 500 years. It took, you know, 40, 50 years. And so things can quickly change. And usually you can
00:01:17.660 predict... There's a book by a gentleman by the name of... He's a missionary from Africa. His name
00:01:22.480 is Peter Hammond. He wrote a book a few years ago where he looked at what happens to a society as a
00:01:28.840 function of the percentage of people who are of the Islamic faith. You know, 0 to 2%, or they're just 0.64
00:01:35.320 an exotic minority, 3 to 5%. They're a bit more politically, you know, motivated, but they're still 0.99
00:01:41.940 pretty quiet. And you could just... You could predict it as quick, as easily as the trajectory
00:01:48.040 of diabetes, right? With more Islam comes more problems. And at one point, you close your eyes, 1.00
00:01:53.800 you open them, and then the whole society is Islamic. 0.95
00:01:57.220 What would you do if you were Prime Minister of Canada?
00:01:59.640 So certainly no one can stay in Canada who does not share the foundational deontological
00:02:08.060 principles of Canada, right? So there can't be a two-tier system where we can criticize vigorously
00:02:14.740 any religion except one, because that would be Islamophobic. There is an emotion that was passed
00:02:20.320 the table called M103 that, you know, can make it very difficult to criticize Islam because you would be 0.98
00:02:26.660 spreading hate and division and lack of community cohesion, and that was under Justin Trudeau. So
00:02:32.740 I would certainly halt immigration from any society that does not share our values. Look, 1.00
00:02:40.620 I'll give you an analogy from evolutionary psychology. And when you're choosing a mate,
00:02:45.360 one of the best ways to ensure that you're going to have a successful marriage is what's called
00:02:49.220 assortative mating, meaning birds of a feather flock together. If I share the same values as my mate,
00:02:55.440 I'm much more likely to have, it's not difficult to understand, right? Well, you could apply that
00:02:59.840 exact same mechanism. I call it cultural homophily, cultural liking of similar others,
00:03:05.380 right? So you're much more likely to integrate people from Denmark or Sweden or Estonia, not because
00:03:11.820 they may share your skin, you or not, but because they are likely to share some of those foundational
00:03:16.480 values that the West was built on. Regrettably, many other societies don't. And so I would certainly
00:03:22.480 reduce that greatly, and I would very vigorously deport anyone who adheres to those kinds of
00:03:29.000 antithetical principles. Do you think the average Canadian is just kind of sitting around like,
00:03:33.040 Trump save us at this point? I mean, Trudeau showed up to Mar-a-Lago just a couple days ago
00:03:37.300 and basically kissed the ring, and now it sounds like even he's going to do something
00:03:41.880 as it pertains to the border and everything else.
00:03:44.540 I hate to say this because I like to always be smiling and optimistic, but I also like to be
00:03:49.300 truthful. I'm not very optimistic for the following reasons. So I can walk in my neighborhood
00:03:54.460 in Montreal, which is, there are a lot of Jews, there are a lot of people who support my message,
00:04:00.580 who'll come up to me who are fans. Dear Dr. Saad, I love you for reasons X, Y, Z. The next question
00:04:06.640 I ask him, do you mind if I ask who you vote for? Oh, I voted for the Liberal Party. So that disconnect,
00:04:12.560 I love you, Dr. Saad, but I voted for the Liberal Party, and I will continue to do so
00:04:17.600 for the next 17 generations, and there will never be any auto-correction in my
00:04:21.980 political voting behavior. How could you resolve the problem if I can never get you to change your
00:04:28.120 behavior? So do you see any way, I mean, not just with Canada, but with, say, Germany and France and
00:04:33.640 Denmark and some of these other countries going through this, do you see any solution that ultimately
00:04:38.360 is not violent to this? Because it seems to me that the people who either have suicidal empathy
00:04:44.380 or ostrich parasitic syndrome, that it's almost too late. It might have not been too late 10 years
00:04:51.100 ago to have dealt with this appropriately, but now, as you've mentioned, it's a numbers game
00:04:54.400 that I don't see a real way to get out of. I don't either. And when I, you know, you and I have
00:04:59.460 known each other now for probably about a decade, and certainly a decade before that, if not,
00:05:04.180 if not more, I've been saying that if we continue on this trajectory, we're going to have a repeat
00:05:10.220 of the Beirut that I escaped. And people would say, that's such an exaggeration. That's so hyperbolic.
00:05:15.860 That's so silly. I understand you had, you know, this childhood trauma. You know, don't project it 0.97
00:05:20.740 onto the West. It'll never happen. Well, you have to have the imagination to be able to extrapolate
00:05:26.140 these patterns, right? It won't happen next year. It won't happen in 10 years, but give it enough time,
00:05:31.680 and it has to happen. There's no, right? So we won't amputate your legs the first day you get
00:05:37.400 diabetes, but let it rage far enough, and it will lead to the amputation of your limbs. That's what's
00:05:42.340 going to happen. So what do you make about what happened here in America? Because again, I think
00:05:45.740 we really looked at the abyss and decided not to do it. I think that's really what this election was.
00:05:51.200 So I'm very optimistic that, of course, I'm elated that Trump won, but I keep, right away,
00:05:56.740 I started warning people, don't be complacent because that could just be a little bleep,
00:06:02.280 but then the wokester come back even stronger than ever before. So it took about 50 to 100 years for
00:06:08.920 many of these cultural values to lead us to where we were. Hopefully it won't take 150 to 100 years
00:06:14.320 to reverse them, but it won't begin and end with Trump.
