I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump. Because Trump is, I'm sorry to say, an asshole. And he shouldn't he shouldn't even be president of the United States. But because he is, we need a strong person so that we can stand strong. [00:00:20] Apparently, most Canadian voters agree with that iconic woman that CNN interviewed yesterday, because Mark Carney and the Liberal Party came from behind to defeat Conservative Pierre Poilievre in Canada's election yesterday. Just months ago, Liberal Party was in terrible shape, and all signs pointed [00:00:40] to a conservative victory after Justin Trudeau's ouster. You could see that here. The liberals were 20 to 30 percentage points behind in surveys conducted in January before taking the lead in mid March. But thanks in large part to Trump's attacks on Canada, [00:00:58] including his threats to make Canada the 51st state Eight and his tariff policies. The liberals managed to turn it around. Mark Carney, a former banker, focused heavily on Donald Trump and his campaign and doubled down on that message of what he calls, quote, American betrayal [00:01:17] during his victory speech last night. Take a look. As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. Never. Never. [00:01:33] But these are not. These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never. That will never, ever happen. We are once again at one of those hinge moments of history. [00:01:50] Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over. The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada [00:02:06] has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for a country for decades, is over. Despite the victory, liberals still face major challenges because elections work a little different [00:02:26] in Canada relative to the US. Voters don't cast a ballot for a prime minister in the same way we vote for a president, for instance. Instead, the party that wins the most seats in parliament typically forms a government, and its leader becomes the prime minister. As of right now, with 99% of the results in Carney's, liberals are leading [00:02:44] with 168 seats to conservatives 144. But the liberals would need 172 to capture a majority in Parliament without the majority. Carney will need the support of a smaller party in Parliament to implement his agenda. [00:03:00] For Pierre Poilievre, who adopted the Trump inspired slogan Canada first. Yesterday's elections didn't just mean he won't become prime minister. He also lost his seat in the House of Commons. You can see the results here. Ousted by Bruce Fanjoy, Liberal by five points. [00:03:21] The Liberal candidate, Bruce Fanjoy, a community volunteer who was initially considered a long shot, won the race with 51% of the vote share. So it's not just the conservatives didn't form the or don't form the government now. Pierre Poilievre is gone. [00:03:37] He was he seemed poised for the last couple of years to become prime minister. - What do you make of these results? - All right. I'm going to give first word to one of our members on Twitch. Sicp 44 wrote in the blue wave starts with a red maple leaf. [00:03:54] Let's go. So that blue wave started very early, but it's true across the world. And Jordan, that goes to answering your question. It's Unprecedented the amount of damage that Donald Trump has done [00:04:09] to conservatives worldwide in 100 days. So, as I teased in the beginning of the show, we're going to tell you a little bit later. And obviously watch the show every day live 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern. Catch all of it. I will tell you a little bit later about a disastrous poll for Trump. [00:04:26] So now he's got to do a major comeback in the Republicans have to do a major comeback, even though the elections for midterms is over a year and a half from now. They're in such a big hole here in America. And but look at this stunning results in Canada. [00:04:43] He turned around 25 points just by being flagrantly in favor of conservatives. The people of Canada were like, well, we don't want that. So we want somebody to fight against this guy. And I mean, for the liberals in Canada and for the left overall in the world, [00:05:04] in a lot of ways, Trump's a huge gift. I mean, he's a disaster here at home with all of his authoritarian, authoritarian tendencies, but he's uniting like there's so many upsides and downsides. The upside is he's hurting the right wing all across the world. [00:05:19] There are chances of winning their chance of getting power. And he seems weirdly gleeful about it because he's a child. He doesn't know the consequences of his actions. He just likes to play with things and own things and smash things. And so he just smashed Canada's Conservative Party, [00:05:35] not their Liberal Party. He just smashed the living crap out of their Conservative party in a tiny window of time in 1 to 2 months. Moving 25 points is unbelievable. And you saw it not just in the overall election, but you saw it even with the conservative leaders own race, where he lost his own race. [00:05:53] And you saw that there was a 25 point swing in that race and loses to someone who was not well known before. So that woman that we showed you at the top, I mean, number one, she's already gone viral and she's going viral because she's so perfectly Canadian, right? [00:06:13] She says, I'm sorry before calling Trump an ahole. Right. And but like what folks are saying online is even like, Trump's such a jerk that he's even gotten the Canadians to be impolite, right? [00:06:28] And they were very, very impolite to the right wing in Canada. So this is what I keep emphasizing. I don't know if anyone will care. I mean, it's like it's hard to get anybody on either side to listen to sense. But if you're a right winger, you should be more mad at Trump. [00:06:46] Like, how does it help you to destroy conservatives all across the world by making conservatism seem not rational and sane and sensible? And the thing that helps the economy and the thing that helps safety, like the type of brand that they want to build for conservatives throughout the world. [00:07:01] Instead, he's now made the brand want to be authoritarians will trample on, you know, whatever laws and customs and rules and constitutions that you have. So watch out. If you elect a guy like Trump, he might try to destroy your country. [00:07:18] And now the other downside for us here in America is and unite the world against us. I mean, look at what he's saying there. The new prime minister, he's saying that no, that's it. We're done with America like this alliance. It's too, you know, a Democrat gets in, we're on good terms. [00:07:36] Trump gets in. All of a sudden we're the enemy, or he's going to invade us, or he's going to make us a state. So it's extremism when he doesn't, you know, follow the court orders and the Constitution, etc., at home. But it's extremism abroad with the tariffs that were so gigantic and so global [00:07:56] that the united the world against us. But on top of everything else, when he gratuitously for no reason, nothing productive at all, attacks allies. Well then allies go as this Prime Minister is saying. [00:08:12] Well, I guess I'm going to have to go to European Union. I'm going to have to go to others in the world to find allies, both politically and economically. And we're all going to have to unite to work around America. Now, how did that help us? And if you're a right winger out there and you're like, no, Trump is my God. [00:08:30] And and he's this clever strategy. All right. Keep stretching as is. My English teacher used to say when I used to try to come up with outlandish metaphors. Stretch. You're stretching. You're stretching. Yoga. Okay, so in this case, they're like, no, no, no. [00:08:46] Trump meant it because if they elect a liberal instead of a conservative, then Canada will become weaker and then it will be easier for us to take them over. Okay. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:09:01] And and and Doctor Evil has a great plan with sharks with laser beams on their heads. But in the rational world, this doesn't help America. And it definitely doesn't help conservatives across the world or here in America. So you keep playing these games and see how it turns out. [00:09:19] So, I mean, we originally named Damage Report for every morning, you know, at least here on the West Coast, John would get up in the first Trump term and tell you the damage report. And so check him out at 10 a.m.. [00:09:36] West Coast, 1:00 East Coast when he's live on YouTube. Damage report. Because, yeah, you're going to need a damage report every morning. And at this point, conservatives are going to need one more than the rest of us. What's so interesting to me about this? [00:09:51] You talk about the global implications of Trump and his brand of kind of that hollow right wing populism. You've seen other world leaders try to emulate that style, some to some success or varying success, but others, it's totally backfired for them. [00:10:08] And that's what's so interesting to me here about Poilievre. He was down to even cribbing the slogans Canada first, and for a while it was working. But when reminded of what a Trump administration looks like, maybe it's recency bias, but also people just don't have long term memories. [00:10:26] Short attention spans. He was poised again to be prime minister. Over the past couple of years. And then you just look at that data that we showed you at the top of the story. It's remarkable. Part of that also seems to be NDP or potential NDP voters [00:10:41] coalescing behind liberals, just to make sure that conservatives cannot form a government there. Just just to ensure that Poilievre is not their prime minister. And Jagmeet Singh has led NDP, which is more of like the left wing party in Canada, despite there are [00:10:59] many criticisms from progressives and left and lefties in Canada about NDP. But still, he's resigning now as the leader because they suffered such a crushing defeat and they lost several seats. Kind of feel bad for him. Seems like a little bit of a wrong place at the wrong time thing, [00:11:16] because they needed to coalesce around these liberal candidates to make sure that Poilievre remained out of the Prime Minister's seat. But still, despite that, Trump is relishing in the fact that he caused this. In an interview with The Atlantic that published yesterday, he said, you [00:11:34] know, until I came along, remember that the conservative was leading by 25 points. The Atlantic reporter Ashley Parker said it's true. Trump then said, then I was disliked by enough of the Canadians that I've thrown the election into a close call. Right? I don't even know if it's a close call. [00:11:50] But the conservative, they didn't like Trudeau. Governor Trudeau too much. And I would call him Governor Trudeau, but he wasn't fond of that. And he also doubled down on his vision for Canada. Atlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg. You seriously want them to become a state? Trump. [00:12:07] I think it would be great. I just. Do you want an ally here? Because now you've got someone who's going to offer stiff opposition and Mark Carney. And While he's not the progressive or lefty candidate or figure that some people [00:12:24] might want, he seems well equipped to take on Trump, especially on issues of trade. Jack, what do you what do you think of Trump relishing in the fact that he caused the conservatives to lose? I get it. Here's why he thinks that way. Which makes no sense that other human beings [00:12:40] who tend to be a little bit more rational. He thinks me me me me me me, I make difference. I smash and then it gets smashed. Me make difference in the whole world. Talk about me, chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. Chum chum. [00:12:56] And that's the only thing he cares about. If you said to him, hey, you're not relevant in the Canadian elections, but your allies win or you're super relevant and everyone is talking about you and you caused your allies to lose. That's a no brainer for him. [00:13:13] He'd be like, oh yeah, talk about me and my allies lose. Who do I why do I care about my allies? Why do I need allies in Canada for okay, are they giving me money like my allies in Saudi Arabia and Israel and all these other places? No, they're not going to be okay. Then there are no allies of mine. Who cares? [00:13:28] Me me me me me, chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. Chum. So listen, he named three casinos in the same city, Atlantic City, after himself. And everybody said, you're going to cannibalize those casinos. He's like, I know. One of his executives literally said it's because he liked [00:13:44] to see his name all over the city. Trump. Trump. Trump. Right. And then you know what happened? Bankrupt. Bankrupt, bankrupt. And so that's what he's doing to his allies now. They're all closed down for business because this buffoon got involved. So hey, keep going that way. [00:14:00] That again, I'm obsessed with the woman that we showed you in the beginning. She's like the new queen of Canada. Slay queen. Okay. So. And. But the real slayer here, the conservative slayer is Donald J. Trump. So everybody's in their own bubbles, and you could all pretend anything you like. [00:14:19] But elections are real and they have consequences. The thing I'm worried about is what we asked about in the poll on the live chat. So we asked, Will America's relationship with Canada ever be repaired? And look, my instinct and and great desire is that yes, it can be repaired [00:14:35] and it should be repaired. I mean, come on. I mean, I can't get over it because. How do you piss off Canada? How do you make an enemy out of Canada? I mean, they make Switzerland look hostile, and somehow you manage [00:14:53] to get them to all hate you. I'm not sure Canadian has ever hated anything before. And now they hate Trump. But I'm also worried they hate us. And the thing that really resonated with me in a way that's unfortunate. And I'm glad you guys are optimistic that it can be repaired. And I love that optimism. [00:15:09] And I share that, be part of the show live every day. But I, I'm worried about what he said, that. Hey, we can't rely on America anymore because it swings back and forth too much. And every once in a while, you guys elect a mad man, right? [00:15:27] I'm worried about that. We've got to get back to stability. We can do populism. We can do the right kind of populism that actually delivers for the average American without making enemies of the whole world. That's gratuitous. There's no need for it without destroying our own constitution [00:15:45] and our own alliances. There's no need for it. I don't know why. If you're a populist, you would want that in any way, shape or form other than weirdo agro hostility. So here we are in that agro hostility boomerang back on conservatives [00:16:01] and cost them leadership in Canada. So I'm glad it did. You know, and to our friends in Canada, don't worry. Most of us in America still love you. You're our brothers and sisters. We're going to get back together. Just give us three and three quarters of a year. [00:16:20] Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
