It's need security for itself, but 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: it also needs security very much for the world. 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: The location really you see the people that the ships 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: sailing around. 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: And then not the right chans and then not the 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: ships you want to know about. So we need security 23 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: in the car country. 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: Deson and all the world desent. 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: So strategically, look, thank you everybody.

It seems to have 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: some people just it's a little shock and awe, which 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: we told you was going to happen. A lot of 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: people didn't listen to us, Like a lot of people 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: didn't listen to the lead up of the election. I've 40 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: made the argument that I think that legacy media is dead. 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: Those people ABC, NBC, CBS, MSDNC, Fake New, CNN, The 42 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, they're all dead 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: because they spent nine long years and they had one mission, 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: one fixation, one focus, and that was to hate all 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: things Donald Trump and to basically be an extension of 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: all things liberal, radical democrat. Their press office, and they 47 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: didn't tell people the truth. They didn't tell people the 48 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: truth about what was happening at our borders. They didn't 49 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: tell people the truth about the economy. They didn't tell 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: people the truth about why you were paying a buck 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: buck fifty more per gallon per gasoline. They just moving 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: forward with their woke agenda. They were not exactly transparent 53 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: when it came to Joe's cognitive decline. They weren't transparent 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: about the war in Ukraine. And they're sending billions and 55 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: billions of dollars rather than de escalating that situation, or 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: the lack of support for Israel for that matter, and 57 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: they paid a very dear price. You know, people ask 58 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: me all the time, what about the future of media. 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: I was on the ground floor of a transformation, which 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: was talk radio and then the Fox News Channel, which 61 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: continues to do well thanks to all of you. And 62 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: I think now with social media and the developments with 63 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: meta in particular today, I think they're very relevant. The 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: President addressed that in his press conference, as I mentioned earlier, 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: and social media in general, podcasting in general. It's a 66 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: new world out there, and I think those people that 67 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: will survive and thrive are going to be people that 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: tell the truth. Such person that was bucking that trend 69 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: throughout the entire twenty twenty four election cycle and saying 70 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: things that his former colleagues, former friends at Big Networks 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't particularly like. Is Mark Cowpert. And he's the editor 72 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: in chief of this new interactive video platform. It's called 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: two Way, and it's growing by leaps and bounds. And 74 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: it's great to have you back. 75 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 3: How are you, Sean, Thank you for the kind words, 76 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: Happy new year. Great to be back with you. 77 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: One thing that we did, the two of us individually, 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: and then we compared notes on every single day. And 79 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: this is what I never understood about the media in 80 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: this election is we were getting early voting numbers and 81 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: there were nowhere near the numbers that Democrats had had 82 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. For example, on election Day, I went 83 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: on I went on with with Dana Perino and Bill 84 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: Hemmer at nine o'clock in the morning that morning, and 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: I said, starting out today, Kamala Harris has a math problem. 86 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: He's down set one hundred thousand votes from where Joe 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: Biden was in twenty twenty. She need a massive turnout, 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: a historic turnout in Philly Alleghany County for her to 89 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: catch up. He's down forty five percent in Wisconsin and 90 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: she would need a massive turnout in cities like Milwaukee 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: for her to make up background, it would have to 92 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: be a historic turnout. All day long, I was calling 93 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 1: my friends and sources and all these locations and finding 94 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: out they were not getting historic turnout. And we saw 95 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: it coming. And I remember even writing you once or 96 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: texting you and saying, am I missing something here? And 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: you told me I was not. 98 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: Now I mean election day. You're right, it was emphatic. 99 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: But even two weeks out when early voting started, I said, 100 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: about three days into the sort of the first trons 101 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: of early voting, I said, if things stay like this, 102 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 3: we won't need election night. Well know, on the morning of, 103 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: And as you say, our colleagues, for some reason, just 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: decided to ignore the data. This isn't about rooting for 105 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 3: Trump or having a gut feeling about Mega. It was 106 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: just the mass, and for some reason they wanted to 107 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: buy the Democratic spin that well, the late deciders were 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: going to go decisively for Harris. No evidence of that 109 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: either during the campaign or on election day, or you know, 110 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: these are not votes that matter because they're just Republicans 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: voting early who would have voted on election day. I 112 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: found it all very confusing. Because again it was just 113 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: straight reporting and it wasn't hard to find. You could 114 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: even find Democrats who said, we're super worried because what 115 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: makes everybody think we're going to have a superhuman turnout 116 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: on election day? 117 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: Well they would have, they would have. That would need 118 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: to be historic. And the interesting thing, if you want 119 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: to say it's interesting, is the madness continues even to 120 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: this day. I mean, yesterday was January sixth, and if 121 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: you turn on a lot of legacy media, all they 122 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do, like on ABC and that hard hitting 123 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: news show, the view, they're comparing January sixth to the cost, 124 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: and they're doing it on you know, pretty much every 125 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: single channel. And they seem to have doubled down on 126 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: stupid and they learned nothing from this campaign. And I 127 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: assumed that the American people will continue to distrust them 128 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: because they've given them no reason to trust them. 129 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: Well, the ongoing story that I find the most just 130 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: sort of incredible from the press point of view is 131 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: the Biden mental acuity issue. You read piece after piece 132 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: about Joe Biden's final days, Joe Biden's legacy, Joe Biden's 133 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: you know, maneuvering to make certain decisions in the final Fortnite, 134 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: and the articles don't mention his cognitive decline or the 135 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: fact that he was unable to he was forced to 136 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: give up the nomination because he had no chance to win. 137 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: And I said, since election day, if the press doesn't 138 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: come clean on not just the failure to cover it, 139 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: but its role in the conspiracy to cover it up, 140 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: how could they possibly expect to have credibility going forward? 141 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: And yet that continues, it continues, It's barely mentioned, and 142 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: when it is mentioned, it's mentioned as a political issue, 143 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: as opposed to the national security issue and the credibility 144 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: issue of a White House, which to this day says 145 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: Joe Biden has no cognitive decline. Joe Biden is perfectly 146 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: capable of doing the job. Joe Biden didn't give up 147 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: the nomination because he had a cognitive decline. He gave 148 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: it up for unspecified their reasons about the good of 149 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: the country. 150 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: It was before the twenty twenty election, correct me if 151 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Wasn't it before then when Joe said, we 152 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: hold these truth to be self evident, that all men 153 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: and women, his words, not mine, were created by all 154 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, Oh, the thing, the thing you know God, 155 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: Joe the creator of everything, endowed by their creator Joe 156 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: the Creator of everything. But I was they ignored moments 157 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: like that, and when I criticized them, and I'm I'm 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: a conservative. I don't even know where you stand politically. 159 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I've never asked you. But 160 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I was excoriated for pointing out something's wrong here. 161 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just an old fashioned reporter. I'm for the 162 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: public interest. Look, you're right, there were things leading up 163 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty. He couldn't have won with that COVID. 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: COVID allowed him to hide. But in twenty seventeen, I've 165 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: told this story before. In twenty seventeen, I saw him 166 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: to a book tour event, and this is after he 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 3: left the office as vice president, well before he announced 168 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: he was running. And I said, after the book event 169 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: to my wife, I'm so glad he's out of public life. 170 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: I'm so glad he'll never be asked to do anything 171 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: again that involves speaking in public, because he was exactly 172 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 3: the way he is now. He'd lost his train of thought. 173 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: It was a book event, he was being questioned by 174 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: a very friendly interviewer, and he could barely get through it. 175 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 3: He was glassy eyed, he was lethargic, as I said, 176 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 3: lost train of thought. This was three years before he 177 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: ran the first time. So the notion that this is 178 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: some sort of secret, you know, you read these stories now. 179 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: And Wall Street Journal wrote the story that got a 180 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: lot of attention that say, behind the scenes, people say, 181 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 3: you know this was happening to seventy. You don't need 182 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: behind the scenes. It was all happening in public. And 183 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: yet again, not only did the media not write about it, 184 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: they covered it up, and then they still having something 185 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: clean about their role in the cover up. 186 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: It's so true. Did you see Meet the Press this 187 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: weekend and Chuck Schumer's questioning on this very topic, he 188 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: got very defensive when asked about whether he knew that 189 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: Joe was incognitive decline. The answer is we know for 190 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: a fact they all did, and that they all covered 191 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: it up. They all lied about it. New York Post 192 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: has a piece today, Well, what about the people that 193 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: covered this up? Don't they have didn't they have an 194 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: obligation of the country to tell us. New York Post 195 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: had an editorial today, Stop lying, Chuck. 196 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: It was unfortunate. You know, he's a skillful guy, and 197 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: he finessed his way through. I give credit to the 198 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: interviewer for asking, but she let him get away with 199 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 3: giving an answer that makes no sense. You know, George Clooney, 200 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: to his credit, belatedly acknowledged what he saw at a 201 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: fundraiser late in the campaign that led him to call 202 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 3: join them. 203 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: Well, was it really to his credit or do you 204 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: suspect as I do that I got a call from 205 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: his friend and I know their friends, Barack Obama, and 206 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: was asked to do this as part of this coalition 207 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: that was created to basically kick Joe out of Obama 208 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: Pelosi and Schumer. 209 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: Was it was part of that effort. But but you know, 210 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: I like to give credit for effort, and he spoke 211 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: out before others were still unwilling to speak out. 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: You know what it was weeks after he had praised 213 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I don't give him as much credit as 214 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: you do. He had been with Joe Biden that some 215 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: fundraiser praising. Yeah, now, so I think it was the 216 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: expediency part of a plan. They didn't think he could win, 217 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: and it was all about winning at that point. 218 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: I agree, and I was going to make that point 219 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 3: which is those who did it did it not because 220 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: they suddenly said, you know what, the country deserves a 221 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 3: president who can do the job. It was because they 222 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 3: thought not only that he would lose. And this is 223 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: a particular concern to Speaker Pelosi that it would drag 224 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 3: other Democrats down. But they're politicians, right, and Biden's politician. 225 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 3: They're going to act out of self interest. It's the 226 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: press whose obligation is not to hurt Donald Trump and 227 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: prop up Joe Biden. Their obligation is to sakeguard the 228 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: public interest and to tell the truth to the American people. 229 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: It's the press whose behavior, to me is more outrageous 230 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: and more requiring of explanation than the politicians. The politician said, 231 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: this guy's got impairment, but we don't want Trump to win, 232 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: and if he steps aside, it will probably be here 233 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: and she can't win, So we're going to prop him up. Irresponsible, 234 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: but again political behavior. 235 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: All right, quick freak. We'll come back more with Mark 236 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Calpern on the other side. Your calls coming up. Eight 237 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: hundred and nine to four one, Shawn our number if 238 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. As 239 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: we roll along this busy News Tuesday, and we continue 240 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: now with our friend Mark Halpert is with us. In 241 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, I declared journalism is dead, and 242 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: now I officially have declared legacy media is dead. How 243 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: do your former colleagues at these major networks treat you? 244 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. 245 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: I mean the one where my friends treat me fine. 246 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: I don't have tons of interaction with just kind of 247 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: the rank and file, but they a lot of them 248 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: watch two Way and they like to Way because they 249 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 3: recognize that that it's not it's the ideology is part 250 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: of it, but it's also just quality. It's it's authenticity, 251 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 3: it's journal You were telling. 252 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: Truth that they were not willing to step forward and 253 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: tell themselves on that stuff. 254 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: They ignore it because very few of them are willing 255 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 3: to even confront it. They pretend it doesn't exist. They 256 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 3: pretend there's not liberal media buys. It's bizarre. I've doubted 257 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: in my whole career. I worked with a few people 258 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: like Peter Jennings who acknowledge it existed. You know, Michael 259 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: Jordan used to say he didn't endorse Democrats because Republicans 260 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: buy sneakers too. I don't understand the place that's in 261 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: the business of selling news that says, you know what, 262 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: We're not interested in selling it to half the country. 263 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: We're gonna We're gonna cut our market share in half. 264 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: I don't get that. 265 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, more liberals watch that watch cable news, watch 266 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: Fox News than any other cable channel. 267 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 3: The Fox numbers are so big. More of everything watches 268 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: Fox News. 269 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: Well no, but I mean it's it is interesting and 270 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: oh I know, uh, but they do allow conservative voices 271 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: like mine. But I'm also a truth seeker and I 272 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: tell truth and sometimes I have to tell truth that 273 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't even want to tell about, uh, Conservatives and Republicans. 274 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: But I just you know, I owe it to my 275 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: audience to always be truthful. But anyway, Mark Alprin, Happy 276 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: new year, my friend, God bless you and keep up 277 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: the good work. We're going to pay very close attention 278 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: to your work throughout the year. 279 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. Good to talk to you. 280 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: Take care all right, it's getting very interesting what is 281 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: happening with Canada and Little Justin now being out? There 282 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: was an interesting National Review Canada's Financial Post article on 283 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: how Canada and their economy has gone to hell under 284 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: Little Justin Trudeau not a fan of his. It looks 285 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: like Canada is on track to move dramatically to the center. 286 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump addressed it today. I thought it was very 287 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: very interesting that he would literally be very interested in 288 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: in joining forces with Canada. And anyway, here's what the 289 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: President said earlier today and what he said about justin. 290 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: Trudeau said, you're considering military force to acquire anima in Greenland? 291 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Are you also considering military force to. 292 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: Annex acquire no economic force? Because Canada and the United States, 293 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: that would really be something. You get rid of that 294 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: artificially drawn line and you take a look at what 295 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: that looks like, and it would also be much better 296 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: for national security. You don't forget. We basically protect Canada. 297 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: But here's the problem with Canada. So many friends up there. 298 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: I love the Canadian people, They're great. We're spending hundreds 299 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: of billions a year to take care of Canada. We 300 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: lose in trade deficits, we're losing mass. We don't need 301 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 2: their cars. You know, they make twenty percent of our cars. 302 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: We don't need that. I'd rather make them in Detroit. 303 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 2: We don't need anything, So why are we losing two 304 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars a year and more to protect Canada. 305 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: And I said that too, as I called them Governor Trudeau, 306 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: I said, listen, what would happen if we didn't subsidize you, 307 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: if we didn't because we give them a lot of money. 308 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 4: We help them. 309 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: As an example, we're buying icebreakers, and Canada wants to 310 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: join us in the buying of icebreakers. 311 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: I said, you know, we. 312 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: Don't really want to have a partner in the buying 313 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: of icebreakers. We don't need a partner. 314 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: It's over fifty three billion more dollars in goods and 315 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: services that come into Canada each year then we export 316 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: to Canada. That's how big the trade deficit is. On 317 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: top of that, you can really make the argument that 318 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: but for the United States and its military might, Canada 319 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: would not be doing as well. The US provides millions 320 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: of dollars in foreign assistance to Canada every year, and 321 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: we now have seen in just the last number of years, 322 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: for example, on the issue of the border, the border 323 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: patrol chief at the Northern Border has said they've apprehended 324 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: nearly twenty thousand illegals from ninety seven countries in fiscal 325 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty four. That is higher than the prior 326 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: seventeen years combined, which is unheard of. They're not doing 327 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: their part in terms of controlling the border. On the 328 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: local front. If you go before the pandemic, the Canada's 329 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: national income per head, which was the equivalent to about 330 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: eighty percent of America's in the decade before the pandemic, 331 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: is will be just seventy percent this year, according to 332 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: the economists, and it further goes on to say the 333 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: gap between the Canadian and American economies has now reached 334 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: its widest point in nearly a century. The US continues 335 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: to be on track to produce nearly fifty percent more 336 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: per person than Canada will, and the Financial Post goes 337 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: on to say nearly three million people living in Canada 338 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: have some type of temporary immigration status, with two point 339 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: two million arriving in just the past two years, and 340 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: temporary residents now represent a wopping six point eight percent 341 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: of the country's total population of forty one point three million, 342 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: up you know, from three point five percent in twenty 343 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: twenty two. They do nothing to control their borders and 344 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: they have a problem there anyway. Joining us now is 345 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: John Baird. He's the former Canadian Foreign Minister John Welcome 346 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: to the program. Glad you're on board. 347 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 4: Great to be with you. Sean. 348 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: First of all, we love our friends to the north. 349 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: We love Canada like you. I have a shared passion 350 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: for a hockey Every Canadian that I know does, I 351 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: assume you do. I hope I'm right in my assumption. 352 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: But on so many levels, I would argue that the 353 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: problems that Canada is facing our self induced based on 354 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: the policies that Justin Trudeau espoused in the country. Am 355 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: I wrong? 356 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: Well, Canada is not a broken country, but we've got 357 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: a broken government. Everything. Everything is going wrong here, whether 358 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 4: it's incompetent, macroeconomic policies, high taxes, big get woke and 359 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 4: put the correct leadership, cost of living going out of control. 360 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 4: That's why we in Canada need a change into the government. 361 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: And it all started to accelerate on Monday when True 362 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 4: threw in the towel. He did not retire because he 363 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 4: wanted to. He retired because of the Conservative Party here 364 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 4: and we have a five party system, Sean at five 365 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 4: party system with first past the post, the Conservative parties 366 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: leading by ten or twenty five percent and just about 367 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: every public opinion poll in the last eighteen months. So 368 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 4: the change will be coming to Canada. We can rebuild 369 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 4: the rebuild the economy and make it give it the 370 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 4: government that it deserves. 371 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: What do you think about and do you understand President 372 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: Trump's position about the trade deficit which is massive, the 373 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: problem at our northern border, which you're also experiencing internally 374 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: in Canada, and your military reliance on the US. 375 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, let me say the number of things. One is, 376 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 4: obviously the United States is our closest friend. We think 377 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 4: that we consider each other almost like family. We can 378 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 4: step up and do a better job. Let's look at 379 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 4: those trade I mean, the trades surplus is almost entirely 380 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 4: oil and gas, which goes to US refineries, which creates 381 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: literally tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of jobs. 382 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 4: Not a good thing for the United States is it 383 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 4: gives the United States power with respect to energy and 384 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 4: oil and gas. But on defense, we've done our share 385 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 4: of the heavy lifting. You know, during the war in Afghanistan, 386 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: we suffered more casualties and just about any other country 387 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 4: out of the United States and the United Kingdom because 388 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 4: we were doing our share of the heavy lifting. In Canada, 389 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 4: Heart Province the toughest area within the United States, within 390 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 4: the Afghanistan. When the President Obama was targeting ISIS, Canada 391 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 4: was one of the only countries that was in the 392 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 4: United Kingdom to bomb IIS targets in both Syria and Iraq. 393 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 4: But we can do better. We can step up our 394 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: game and be a better partner on security and defense. 395 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 4: And that includes obviously doing our part to raise our 396 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 4: defense spending. And that's where the United States can help us. 397 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 4: You know, obviously the US is like Canada, has a 398 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 4: lot of has a lot of military procurement economy, and 399 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 4: there's a lot we can get. You know, when I 400 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 4: was in government, we got the and I was a conservative. 401 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 4: By the way, just so your viewers that your listeners know, 402 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 4: we bought C seventeen heavy lift aircraft and made in 403 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 4: the United States. We brought Chinock calicopters made the United States. 404 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of help that the United States 405 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 4: can provide us when we valley up to the bar 406 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: and start to pay our fair share on defense spending. 407 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 4: There's no argument in this country but that. 408 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: What do you think about the idea? I mean, the 409 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: President made a good point in his press conference today. 410 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: I thought he made a good point. I mean, the 411 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: idea that maybe we should think about joining forces. I mean, 412 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: if you just look at the apps, just the pure 413 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: land mass alone, how amazing that would be. I mean, 414 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: that's he's obviously you know, it's an offer, it's an opportunity, 415 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: it's a thought. Would that be something that the Canadian 416 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: people would ever consider? 417 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 4: No, I don't think joining the US is on the table. 418 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 4: It's a non starter. Let's be a clear on that. 419 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: But we are a family. We can we have a 420 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 4: fairly integrated economy. If we have the open markets, free 421 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 4: markets between the two countries, we can both economically boom. 422 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 4: We can't step up on defense. One of the things too, 423 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 4: The things that the President has been very clear on 424 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 4: since the election are the need to step up illegal 425 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: border crossings from Canada United States. Obviously it's minuschool compared 426 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 4: to Mexico, but we're a good neighbor and we should 427 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 4: be there to ensure that we stop. And there's a 428 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 4: lot of Canadians going through illegally Mexicans and even from India, 429 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 4: and we can step up our border enforcement to ensure 430 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: that that we do job. Nothing would make me happen 431 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 4: in the United States to look at canadon and say, 432 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 4: why can't Mexico be more like Canada in terms of 433 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: protecting the border. And the President's made a very compelling 434 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 4: case on Sentinel where security services need to step up 435 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: their effort to stop the flow of sentanel from Canada 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 4: into the United States. Frankly, I think President Trump is 437 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 4: the one who made most Canadians aware that that was 438 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: a problem and this is something we should do as 439 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: as as a good neighbor to protect the United States. 440 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 4: The numbers I have are actually even worse than. 441 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: The number you gave Vishan Well, the numbers in terms 442 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: of illegal immigration. I'm giving you the updated numbers that 443 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: I have, and I'm not surprised that they would be worse, 444 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: nor are we aware because we don't have as much 445 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: border patrol uh as much of border patrol presence in 446 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: the north as we do down in the south. Why, 447 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: for example, and the President brought this up at his 448 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: press conference today, why is Canada charging these tariffs for 449 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: American automobiles to go into Canada. I would think that 450 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: that's something we should have free and fair trade and 451 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: it should go both ways. Why why does Canada put 452 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: those tariffs on US car manufacturers. 453 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 4: I'm gonnaware of a single tariff on the US cars. Uh, 454 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 4: you know. I think the some parts of a car 455 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 4: made in can the United States can go back and 456 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 4: forth as many as six times in the production assembly 457 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 4: of an automobile. I'm not aware of any tariff that 458 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 4: we have on the US auto sector. 459 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 3: Set. 460 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 4: We manufacture a lot of cars in Canvas sell the 461 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 4: United States, manufactur a lot of cards United States to 462 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 4: sell in Canada, and let's have no tariff and that 463 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 4: it'd be completely open with the free market, that the 464 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: free market operates. 465 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: All right, quick break, We'll come right back more with 466 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: former Canadian Foreign Minister John baird Is with US as 467 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: President Trump mentioning Canada at length, maybe being the fifty 468 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: first state. More on the other side, your calls also 469 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: coming up eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is 470 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: on number. As we continue broadcasting on great radio stations 471 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: all over the USA, hits the Sean Hannity Show. Are 472 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: we continue now with former Canadian Foreign Minister John baird 473 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: Is with US while Trudeau was weak and even prior 474 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's victory. Do you believe Donald Trump's victory 475 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: played a role in him being finally pushed. 476 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 4: I think that it's funny his team are all, you know, 477 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 4: his team was beginning to to to pre massively move 478 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 4: on pushing him out of power. And I think there's 479 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: only one reason on that is that he was He's 480 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: been trailing in the polls for eighteen months and instead 481 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 4: of the Rats leaving a leaving a sinking ship, they 482 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 4: threw the captain overboard. And I think that's probably what 483 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: one had to do with It's just it's this government 484 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 4: for the last nine years, Canada's GDP per capita has 485 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: not grown in nine years. We we used to have 486 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 4: a consensus on competent macroeconomic policy, but this government has 487 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 4: been a high tax, high spend government and you know, 488 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 4: not tough on crime and uh and very woke in 489 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 4: political corrupt and I think Todadi it's had enough of it. 490 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: That's why I'm so excited about the next election. Trudo resigning. 491 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 4: We should go to the We should go to the 492 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 4: polls in May and Canada, and I'm pretty confident we're 493 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: going to see a return of a conservative government who 494 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 4: will be a better partner for the United States and 495 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 4: Frank Elephant, we have. 496 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: A lot of calls from Canada for this radio show. 497 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: It's actually, you know, surprises me how many people from 498 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: Canada actually listen to the show. And I'm glad that 499 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: they do. And one interesting side note, many Americans have 500 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: how did the single payer system healthcare system that you 501 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: have in Canada as an example of what America should adopt. 502 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: But meanwhile, I can give you example after example of 503 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: wealthy and politically connected individuals that need you know, major 504 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: health care services that end up spending their own money 505 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: and crossing the border and coming to the US and 506 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: some of the finest hospitals in the US to get 507 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: their treatment. What does that tell you? 508 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a dirty little secret that we have a 509 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 4: single pair of system in Canada. Healthcare system in Canada 510 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 4: that you know, has its drawbacks, it has its successes 511 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 4: as well. If you're really sick, you get the treatment 512 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 4: you need. But people, I say, the biggest private healthcare 513 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 4: operator in Canada probably Air Canada because the view of 514 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 4: the economic means you can justly Detroit or Chicago or Florida, 515 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 4: the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and get better care. So's 516 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 4: there's advantages definitely to the saying system, but there is 517 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 4: obviously rationing which is a concern. 518 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: So your next Prime Minister, how confident are you that 519 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: the government will move to the right and what will 520 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: that mean practically for the people of Canada. 521 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 4: I don't think it's a writer left continuum. I think 522 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 4: what it is is a elite, woke based effort by 523 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 4: Trudeau to a more common sense, competence policy with Septier 524 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 4: Poli of the Conservative leader. I've known this guy for 525 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 4: twenty five years. He's smart as hell, he's tough as nails, 526 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: He's got experience in government, experience in parliament. I think 527 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 4: he could become the he could become a consequential He 528 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 4: will become a consequential leader for Canada. And I think 529 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: one of the things he can do is rebuild our 530 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: foreign relations with our friends and our foes and our 531 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 4: allies alike. I look back at the days when Brian 532 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: o'vererney was the Prime Ministry. He had such a great 533 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: partnership with President Reagan and President Bush. Stephen Harper worked 534 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 4: very well with Bush and Obama. I think I think 535 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 4: Stephen Harp, I think Per Pauly have the Conservative leader. 536 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 4: What is elected Prime Minister will be a great Now 537 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: here's a great partner for the United States. 538 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: We do appreciate you being with us, John, We wish 539 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: you the best. We love our friends in Canada. God 540 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: bless you, and God bless Canada as well. And hopefully 541 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: we can repair whatever differences we may have and move 542 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: on as the friends and allies we should be. We 543 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it, we work together. Amen. We need it desperately.
