Do you think that this is going to last, though, all the way until 2025?
00:00:05.200
Well, I find it difficult to believe. I think, you know, I have nothing but contempt for Jagmeet
00:00:10.720
Singh because he's one of these, what George Orwell used to describe as parlor Bolsheviks
00:00:19.040
and what I call today is Jacuzzi Marxists. He's one of these elites who sit around in their
00:00:25.600
Jacuzzis talking about the revolution and they have no idea what working class people actually
00:00:34.400
are because they never rub shoulders with them. They're part of the elite and they really have
00:00:39.440
never seen a working class person. And if they do, they have nothing but contempt for them
00:00:44.080
because they consider them deplorables like Hillary Clinton does. And Jagmeet Singh thinks
00:00:50.160
he's getting a great deal here because he's got this minimal number of MPs
00:00:55.440
and here is his chance to be the deputy prime minister, essentially.
00:01:00.080
And I really know that half of his caucus at least can't stand him anymore because they're really
00:01:07.760
old style in the peers who really do have some affection for working class people. And they know
00:01:14.400
Jagmeet Singh doesn't. And they know this is nothing but a power grab. And they know they didn't like
00:01:20.400
the emergencies act and they know their conscience really didn't want them to vote for it. And I don't
00:01:26.400
think they're going to last three years with Justin Trudeau. And I go back to 1972, 50 years ago,
00:01:34.240
when David Lewis did actually sign a coalition deal with Pierre Trudeau, Justin's father,
00:01:41.920
and it destroyed David Lewis and the NDP in 1974 when Trudeau walked away with a majority government.
00:01:48.640
And because people said, well, what the heck is the difference between the NDP and the Liberals?
00:01:53.680
And this is exactly what's going to happen in the next election if Singh stays tight with Trudeau.
