The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad - Trudeau Is The Biggest Degenerate, Malignant Narcissist to Ever Lead Canada (The Saad Truth with Dr. Saad_780)

00:00:00.000 With us right now is Dr. Gad Saad, former professor and global ambassador at Norwood

00:00:05.020 University, author of the best-selling books, Saad Truth, about happiness and secrets for

00:00:09.840 leading the good life, the parasitic mind, how infectious ideas are killing common sense.

00:00:16.940 Gad, welcome back. Oh, great to be with you. It's not former professor. I'm a visiting professor

00:00:23.440 now there, but thank you. I'm great to be back. Okay. First off, your reaction to Justin Trudeau

00:00:29.360 going. Well, I did X Spaces yesterday where I shared my rather colorful reaction to it. Look,

00:00:38.420 I think he's the biggest degenerate malignant narcissist that certainly Canada has ever 0.99

00:00:43.860 had as a prime minister. And I would argue that he might have been the worst of all of the degenerate 0.99

00:00:50.000 Western leaders over the past 20, 30 years. So good riddance, except that, frankly, I can't fully

00:00:56.400 celebrate because no matter what happens moving forward, the fact that he was able to be in power

00:01:02.580 for nine years is a stain that we will never erase.

00:01:07.200 Why would people in Canada so slow to realize this? I mean, when he said we're not mankind,

00:01:12.760 we're people kind, when all these pictures, he's condemning everyone being politically correct,

00:01:17.680 all these pictures emerge of him in blackface and Indian dress. I mean, the hypocrisy is everywhere, 0.99

00:01:22.640 along with the crackdown on those truckers where he froze their bank accounts, which is unheard of

00:01:27.980 in Western society. Right. So I don't think I've ever mentioned this Arabic saying on your show. So

00:01:35.860 I'll mention it here. There's an expression in Arabic, which when translated into English,

00:01:40.180 you say, getting drunk by smelling the cork of the wine bottle, which basically means you are of weak

00:01:46.620 constituency. You don't have to actually drink the wine bottle to get drunk. You just take a whiff and

00:01:52.080 you're already drunk. I argue that that's what often happens to the electorate. Right. It's too

00:01:58.120 difficult for me to engage my cognitive thinking in deciding what are the policies that I like of a

00:02:03.620 particular politician. I'll just I'll just whiff the cork of Justin Trudeau. He's tall. He's smiley. He's young.

00:02:11.800 He's got good hair. That's good enough for me. I'll vote for him. So it takes a while before people realize

00:02:17.360 that they are succumbing to this kind of affect based thinking. So what what what kind of damage

00:02:24.060 did he did? I heard damaging the currency is basically the the the currency is damaged 40 percent

00:02:30.100 even though inflation is relatively tame. Every every single metric that you can use to measure

00:02:36.440 the health of a society. We've gone backwards. Housing prices are massive. Inflation is massive.

00:02:42.160 Orgiastic and exponential Jew hatred has completely gone out of control in Canada. I mean Canada in

00:02:49.680 general and Montreal my home city is absolutely insane. So there is no metric that you could think

00:02:56.480 of that has led to an improvement as a result of Trudeau coming in. It's grotesque. Do you think it's

00:03:02.360 representative of the of the sobering up of Western society in that we're tired of the political

00:03:07.700 correctness? It's not that Republicans are winning. It's that common sense is winning.

00:03:12.740 I mean yes except that so if you remember Brian in my earlier book The Parasitic Mind I talked how

00:03:19.140 it took about 50 to 100 years for all of these parasitic ideas to originally be spawned on university

00:03:25.300 campus and then they came together over the past 10 20 years to create the lunacy that we have. So yes

00:03:32.180 it's great that Donald Trump is now in power and we can celebrate that but the battle is going to be

00:03:37.440 much longer. It took 50 to 100 years for this nonsense to fully develop. Hopefully it won't

00:03:43.100 take 50 to 100 years to eradicate it but it's not going to end just because Donald Trump ascended to

00:03:49.480 the highest office. So Barry Weiss of the Free Press says what happened in Canadian politics is not

00:03:56.140 happening in a vacuum. It is a symptom of a much broader phenomenon. Call it the great crack up of the

00:04:00.920 old consensus. The consensus is being rejected through the West. Trump won the presidency by building

00:04:06.640 a multi-racial working class coalition that had little affection for that progressive activism

00:04:12.520 who supposedly spoke for them. The leader they say now is Georgia Maloney of Italy. Do you concur?

00:04:22.200 Yes you mean concur with the fact that that the West is rejecting all that stuff? And she's an example of

00:04:28.020 that? She is an example of that. I mean Donald Trump of course is an example of that. Malay in Argentina

00:04:34.500 is an example of that. The El Salvador president who turned El Salvador from a gang-infested place to

00:04:43.580 almost no crime is an example. So people are waking up. The problem is why didn't you wake up 15 or 20

00:04:50.680 years earlier right? Because now we are going to solve the problem but it's going to be a lot bloodier

00:04:56.160 to do so now than 15 years ago. So how do you feel today? We had Mark Zuckerberg on we have Mark

00:05:01.720 Zuckerberg's chief of staff essentially on the couch. His name is Joel Kaplan and he said there's going to

00:05:06.300 be major changes and he sounded like Elon Musk has basically had his hand on his back talking about

00:05:13.280 how they're going to let the platform now be a little bit more free and open. First here's what

00:05:18.740 Zuckerberg put out last night. Cut 37. We're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing

00:05:24.060 mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically,

00:05:30.660 we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X starting in

00:05:36.280 the U.S. So he talked about X and I'll go play some of that too but your thoughts about Zuckerberg

00:05:42.920 essentially trying to say I had an awakening. Look I'm not very impressed. It's better it's always

00:05:49.680 better late than never but for you to do something quote bold once the ecosystem suggests that you

00:05:56.720 should be moving in that direction is hardly the epitome of courage right. The courageous and the

00:06:02.320 bold are the ones who stand up on top of the mountain and do the right thing even if they're

00:06:06.820 going to get blowback. So yes it's great that Zuckerberg is joining the common sense train but

00:06:12.460 it's a little bit too late. So for example I've had many strikes against me on Facebook because I posted

00:06:19.060 a screenshot of death threats that I had received as a Jewish person that was a manifestation of me

00:06:27.360 being anti-Semitic. So this is the kind of nonsense that he should have woken up to many years ago.

00:06:34.260 Right and you think that you know maybe he did maybe he understands it. The other thing Gad is I

00:06:39.780 don't diminish the fact that Joe Biden had the screws on or his people had the screws on him big time.

00:06:46.180 FBI had the screws on him big time and you know the I guess Democrats to a degree never thought

00:06:50.820 they were going to lose power and I think in many ways this is the first time to come up for air

00:06:55.020 along with guilt he might have felt for what he did in 2020. Yeah I mean I agree and also I guess

00:07:01.720 people are emboldened even the the most meek and cowardly folks are emboldened when they see someone

00:07:07.780 like Elon Musk in the way that he carries himself right. I mean that's I mean as you probably know

00:07:12.800 Elon Musk and I know each other well and the more you get to know Elon Musk even on a personal level

00:07:18.460 the more you love him and so maybe Zuckerberg is looking at Elon saying hey I could learn to be

00:07:23.060 courageous and to be a honey badger like Elon so more power to him. All right maybe we'll just stay

00:07:27.940 out of politics all together but we'll see with the advent of AI. Gad you I don't know if you you

00:07:32.620 would be able to detect this but I remember JD Vance coming out and saying the AI the emergence of

00:07:38.700 the AI executives and these new companies is not as liberal as the social media companies that

00:07:44.060 that rose up in Silicon Valley they seem to have a more balanced view of things and speaking of

00:07:49.340 David Sachs who's going to be AI and cryptocurrency czar speaking to the army navy game I get the sense

00:07:56.380 that he is no screaming liberal I mean I think I think that he wants to it's so vital that we have

00:08:02.580 good leadership during this time but I don't sense that he's going to be you know trying to win over

00:08:07.400 Hollywood. Oh I agree look I think I don't know who first coined the term tech bros I think a lot

00:08:14.300 of the tech bros today are all very anti-woke they're not only not woke they're anti-woke many

00:08:21.360 of those folks follow me some of whom I've interacted with and so that gives me great hope because

00:08:26.420 ultimately the people in power will only listen to money so for example academic administrators

00:08:31.880 were very very keen on ignoring my message but if someone like Bill Ackman comes along and says hey

00:08:38.100 you know that hundred million dollar donation that I was going to give you it's going to go away

00:08:42.000 well they're going to listen a lot more to him than they are to me so more power to the tech bros

00:08:47.140 march on. Your thoughts on Trump about to take over in 14 days and you know he's got such a slim

00:08:53.460 margin in the house he's got a few senators to his advantage in the senate your thoughts about what

00:08:59.380 he's up against knowing that it seems like Joe Biden's intent on burning the house down on his

00:09:03.580 way out. I am optimistic in that there is this 18 month window where a lot can be done so I hope that

00:09:12.020 he fully grabs it and does as much as he can because to your point once the midterm elections come around

00:09:18.460 if he loses any of the majority then it'll be much harder to push his agenda so I'm very optimistic

00:09:23.720 but cautiously so. Do you think the rest of the world is more open to him now it seems like

00:09:28.580 they're all coming to visit him before is that a preemptive move or is that is that a salutation?

00:09:35.360 I mean I think that uh they're a lot more uh welcoming to the to the idea of Trump than they

00:09:42.160 were you know in 2016 so it's a bit of kiss the ring phenomenon but it's also the fact that

00:09:48.660 a lot of them thought truly believed that he was going to be orange Himmler when he turned out to be

00:09:53.800 the exact opposite so let's let's keep our fingers crossed. Before I go I want to tap into your

00:09:58.760 Middle East knowledge the U.S. is pausing restrictions on Syria you know trying to uh liking the fact that

00:10:05.000 they kicked out Iran they're in the process I think of throwing the Russians out of their bases 1.00

00:10:09.700 but knowing that their roots are in extremism in al-Qaeda al-Nusra your attitude on what our attitude

00:10:16.400 should be with this new Syrian government. Not a good one uh I mean you saw even on in a small

00:10:23.820 micro sense how the the leader was unwilling to shake the hand of I can't remember if it was a

00:10:29.840 French dignitary because you know you're not supposed to shake the hand of uh of a woman uh

00:10:35.760 so I don't hold out much hope for those guys I mean I think he's trying to send the signal that

00:10:40.560 he's a bit more modern more tolerant and I will allow the Christians in Syria to put up the Christmas 1.00

00:10:46.280 trees uh as someone who comes from the Middle East uh I can tell you that uh they tolerate you

00:10:52.680 until on one day they decide they won't tolerate you in which case you better put on the running

00:10:57.020 shoes and run real fast because your head is about to be detached from the rest of your body so I would

00:11:01.800 not hold out too much hope for the current Syrian administration. Anecdotally what do what do your

00:11:06.920 people say about the condition of Hezbollah and Hamas right now? But by my people meaning Jewish

00:11:14.420 people? Um well I would say your contacts in the Middle East. Oh I see uh I mean look uh I I think

00:11:21.540 that uh October 7th as as devastatingly tragic as it was allowed Israel to come in and really clean 1.00

00:11:30.120 house with Hamas and Hezbollah. The ideology is not going to die but certainly their ability to uh 0.97

00:11:36.560 to you know to cause mayhem has certainly been diminished so I would say keep going forward

00:11:42.440 until hopefully every single one of the hostages come home. So I'm optimistic about that because

00:11:48.100 you've awakened the giant. Evidently 34 hostages were their names were submitted some it's not clear

00:11:55.480 exactly if uh the the number is accurate or not but they're submitted of people they would release and

00:12:01.040 of course they want thousands of prisoners in return. Dr. Gadsad thanks so much appreciate your time.

00:12:06.560 Thank you so much cheers.
