The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable and its rapidly deteriorating. Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025. [00:00:17] Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would in fact recognize Palestine as a state with some strings attached, because, of course, in fact, France happens to be the only country that has announced that they intend to recognize the Palestinian state with no strings attached. [00:00:34] But it's okay. We're making some progress. I like that announcement by Canada. Apparently, though, that was just too much for the US president, Donald Trump, who has taken the position of lapdog to Israel. But to be fair to President Trump, almost every single president [00:00:52] is a lapdog to Israel. It is demanded of them, and most of them will abide. It's the most embarrassing part of being an American at this point, that we don't have leaders who want to represent us. We have leaders who are lapdogs to a foreign government. [00:01:07] So Trump has now announced that he might pull the plug on US Canada negotiations for a trade deal, which only goes to hurt Americans and potentially Canadians as well. So here's more of Carney explaining their conditions for a Palestinian state. [00:01:25] This intention is predicated on the Palestinian Authority's commitment to much needed reforms, including commitments by the Palestinian Authority, President Abbas, to fundamentally reform its governance, to hold general elections in 2026, in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state. [00:01:46] Canada will increase its efforts in supporting strong democratic governance in Palestine and the contributions of its people to a more peaceful and hopeful future. I spoke today with President Abbas at length to reaffirm his commitments. [00:02:04] Canada reiterates that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken in the horrific terrorist attack of October 7th, that Hamas must disarm, and that a mass must play no role in the future governance of Palestine. [00:02:22] So Carney also left open the option that Canada would not recognize the State of Palestine in September if their demands were not met. Okay. So then you have the UK, which some might argue like, oh, they heroically also announced conditional plans to recognize Palestinian statehood, [00:02:40] but I'm going to go through their conditions because, I just find some of them laughable because as we know, Israel does not want to recognize a Palestinian state. They want to do anything and everything possible to prevent that from happening. So I find it fascinating that two of the conditions for the UK to recognize [00:03:00] a Palestinian state include Israel agreeing to not annex the West Bank. And for Israel committing to a peace process resulting in a two state solution. So, in other words, you know what? I take it back. The UK is not serious about recognizing a Palestinian state. [00:03:18] This is complete and utter BS. Oh, Sir Keir Starmer. He's getting a little bit of pressure from members of his labor government. And so he's going to pretend like, oh, you know, in certain conditions I will recognize a Palestinian state. [00:03:34] I'm just going to need Israel to promise not to annex the West Bank. What kind of garbage is this? They're annexing the West Bank as we speak. So applying a condition that puts the ball in Israel's court is laughable. [00:03:52] A week ago today, France announced that they would recognize a Palestinian state in September of this year. Period. No strings attached. You go France. Now, that totals three US allies who stated that they will or might recognize a Palestinian state in seven days in the last seven days. [00:04:09] So Trump was pretty ambivalent about this matter. When asked if Britain should recognize a Palestinian state on Monday, he says, quote, I'm not going to take a position. I don't mind him taking a position. I'm looking to getting people fed right now. [00:04:25] Oh are you? That's the number one position because you have a lot of starving people. You sure do have a lot of starving people by design. And in the days since he made that statement, his tone has changed rather dramatically. [00:04:41] So let's see what he had to say on Tuesday. Is there any use at all in pressuring Israel now to come to some sort of longer term solution? Well, you. Could make the case that you're rewarding people that, you know, you're rewarding Hamas if you do that. [00:04:57] And I don't think they should be rewarded. So, I'm not in that camp, to be honest. We'll let you know where we are. But I am not in that camp because if you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas. And I'm not about to do that. [00:05:14] You're rewarding Hamas. Well, okay. Aren't you rewarding Israel as they carry out atrocities and intentional starvation in Gaza by continuing to support them? How come that doesn't matter at all? By the way, just going back real quick, I got a little more clarity on the UK and I want to I want to correct myself [00:05:32] because the truth matters and I don't want to needlessly put out inaccurate information about what the UK is saying. So the UK is going to recognize a Palestinian state unless Israel does those things. In other words, if Israel does not go ahead and start a peace process, [00:05:48] which obviously they won't, the UK is going to recognize the state. So my my reading of it was incorrect. I got the wrong impression from what I read. So okay. All right. So UK is kind of in the same camp as as Canada, and that's a good thing. [00:06:07] Let me keep going. So yesterday, in response to Canada's announcement, Trump stated, wow, Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them. Oh, Canada. [00:06:23] Why why why would that make it hard for us to make a trade deal with Canada? That's that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Which is why it wasn't surprising that Kerry Lake supported the message. She's one of the dumbest people we've had the displeasure [00:06:40] of hearing speak on a political stage. She says Canada is not in the driver's seat, bitch. You're not in the driver's seat. Shut up and sit down. But once again, Trump is getting pushback from others in the MAGA crowd. Matt Walsh, for instance, says this is ridiculous. [00:06:56] If a trade deal with Canada is beneficial to the American people, then it should go forward, regardless of Canada's stance on Palestine. The benefit of the American people should be the guiding principle here. America first, am I right? No, not America first. [00:07:14] It appears that Trump wasn't serious about that. Owen Shroyer, who's been pretty good on this issue, says, sounds like Trump is willing to sabotage a good deal with Canada on behalf of Israel. You're right about that. And then you have Mel. [00:07:30] I'm not really familiar with her other than what I've seen. Her post on X and her posts tend to be very cathartic, and I can tell she's conservative. She says, sorry, friends going to have to pay more for gas and groceries because Canada is doing something Israel doesn't like. [00:07:46] And we all know who actually runs this country. And remember, Trump has set tomorrow, August 1st, as its new tariff deadline. Meaning if we don't have a deal with Canada, then the insanely high tariffs [00:08:03] will go into effect. And that's not just for Canada. That's for any other country that we have failed to make a trade deal with. Or I should be clear, Trump has failed to make a trade deal with. Today, for example, Trump announced a 90 day pause on tariffs on Mexico in order for negotiations to continue. [00:08:20] So he's making some exceptions. Who knows what's going to happen with Canada? So as for Canada, they are facing a 35% tariff on exports beginning tomorrow, meaning anything that is imported to the United States from Canada [00:08:35] will be taxed at 35%. How is that not going to negatively impact the American people? And by the way, obviously it could spell trouble for Canada because they send [00:08:51] 75% of their exports to the United States. Even before last night's post, Trump had waved off the idea of reaching a deal with Canada. He said last Friday, I think Canada could be one where there's just a tariff. Not really a negotiation. Oh, wow. [00:09:08] Art of the deal. Great job. But it's worth noting that apparently Trump has acknowledged the reputational damage that, Israel, Israel's government, is doing to itself. Wow. It's amazing. Like, the cognitive dissonance here is so incredible. [00:09:23] He says, my people are starting to hate Israel, Trump recently warned one prominent Jewish donor, according to a middle East expert who speaks regularly with the administration. I mean, look, it's hilarious to me because you keep hearing various mouthpieces [00:09:42] from the Israeli government talking about how, oh, we're losing the PR war. We just got to do more censorship. We got to install, an Israeli censor over at TikTok so we can control the narrative. You guys aren't going to be able to control the narrative. You guys are killing innocent people. We all know it. We all see it. [00:09:59] There is no PR campaign that has ever existed or could ever exist that can erase the war crimes and the atrocities that are currently being committed. That's they're doing. And yeah, it is radicalizing people against the state of Israel. [00:10:18] Meanwhile, Trump continues to cover for the Israeli government, which is unsurprising to me at this point. It should be unsurprising to all of us. He says that the fastest way to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. [00:10:33] Hamas has agreed to give up governance of the Gaza Strip. They've agreed to return all the hostages. They've even wavered on the idea of a permanent ceasefire. Israel is the obstacle. [00:10:50] Israel wants the Gaza Strip for themselves. Anyone saying otherwise is lying to you, including our president. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
