Summary
We don't like dictatorships, we liberate dictatorships. That's what we do. We ask the obvious question, why don't we liberate Canada from Justin Trudeau? Here's that conversation: why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which we share the longest border, and actually a great country?

We're talking to our friend David Azarad recently for an interview on Fox Nation and the topic of
00:00:04.680
Canada came up. David Azarad was born and raised in Montreal, but like a lot of ambitious and
00:00:09.740
freedom-loving people, he fled later to the United States. And because all the people who
00:00:15.480
care about their own rights have left, Canada under Justin Trudeau has become effectively a
00:00:20.000
dictatorship. And we don't like dictatorships, we're America. We liberate dictatorships. That's
00:00:25.780
what we do. So we ask the obvious question, why don't we just liberate Canada? Here's that
00:00:32.220
conversation. Why should we stand back and let our biggest trading partner, the country with which
00:00:37.940
we share the longest border, and actually, I could just say a great country. I love Canada. I've always
00:00:42.240
loved Canada because of its natural beauty. Why should we let it become Cuba? Like, why don't we
00:00:47.040
liberate it? We're spending all this money to liberate Ukraine from the Russians. Why are we
00:00:51.000
not sending an armed force north to liberate Canada from Trudeau? And I mean it. Well, I don't know.
00:00:55.480
But then you don't have to answer that. I don't know that I'm there yet with you.
00:01:00.680
I'm just talking myself into a frenzy here. It's a fair question. And honestly,
00:01:05.980
we thought the Canadians would be flattered because they're always flattered when you talk
00:01:10.700
about them. They're like stalkers. You don't know they exist, but they've got pictures of you
00:01:14.180
in their dorm room. So if you do a Canada joke on TV, they go absolutely crazy.
00:01:20.260
They don't really know how to handle it or what it means, but it doesn't matter. They're excited.
00:01:24.700
And that's true even in the Canadian Parliament. Apparently, there's so little going on in Canada,
00:01:31.420
like civil liberties, that if you tell a joke about Canada, they go bonkers. Watch this Canadian
00:01:36.780
quote, member of Parliament, trying to get some kind of resolution passed condemning this show.
00:01:43.800
Mr. Speaker, after consultation with the parties in the House, if you seek it,
00:01:48.000
I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion,
00:01:52.140
that given the rise of far-right and associated violent extremism led to the attempted insurrection
00:01:58.060
in the United States, the House condemns recent comments made by Fox News personality,
00:02:03.720
Tucker Carlson, in which he suggests U.S. Armed Forces liberate Canada from the current prime minister.
00:02:13.320
All those opposed to the honorable member moving the motion will please say nay.
00:02:25.540
By the way, it failed, and we don't want to be too picky or anything, but we did not suggest the
00:02:30.960
armed forces liberate Canada. You're flattering yourself, Canadian member of Parliament.
00:02:36.160
We wouldn't need the armed forces. A couple of your college roommates just run up the sled dogs
00:02:41.520
and you wouldn't be able to move. We're not actually going to do it just yet.
