1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Forty one days soon, Donald Trump will be inaugurated at noon, 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: and we should take seriously what he's saying about Canada. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: It's been NonStop since Justin Trudeau Jack asked from Ottawa 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow a lago because Donald Trump said the word tariff 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: out loud. Since then, Donald Trump has taunted, Yes, his peer, NonStop, 6 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and in doing so, he has insulted Canada. He has 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: started to destabilize the most inturing relationship in world history, 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: which between the two nations finds the longest undefended peacetime 9 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: boundary and world history. So, of course America's dumb as president. Yes, 10 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: that would have been our forty fifth thinks it's funny 11 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: that sometime after midnight to start tweeting or whatever it 12 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: is you do on true Social about America. I suppose 13 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: invading Canada, because that's the implication. And it's not just dumb, 14 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: and it's not just unfunny, it's immoral and profoundly stupid. 15 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: This is the warning from Donald Trump on truth Social 16 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: shortly after midnight last night. It was a pleasure to 17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of 18 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: the Great State of Canada. I look forward to seeing 19 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: the Governor again soon so that we may continue our 20 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: in depth talks on tariffs and trade, the results of 21 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: which will be truly spectacular for all. Donald John Trump. 22 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: There are forty one days to go until Donald Trump 23 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: will raise his hand and become President of the United 24 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: States again, the forty seventh president. All over Washington there 25 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: is excitement in the air by the maga weirdos, by 26 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: the sycophants, by the posers, by the clowns, by the drunks, 27 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: by the accused rapists, by the convicted petty criminals, by 28 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: the convicted sexual assaulters, and everyone else who was part 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: of Trump's toxic menagerie, as they get ready to exercise 30 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: power without restraint, with the magic of the Supreme Court 31 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: granted immunity that makes Donald Trump a king a caesar. 32 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: One of the most providential blessings that the United States 33 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: has is the fact that two hours north on the 34 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: forty ninth parallel exists an international boundary that I drove 35 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: across yesterday. It is the longest peaceful, undefended border in 36 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: world history. The prime minister of that nation, our ally, 37 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: is Justin Trudeau. He is not an American governor. He 38 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: is a Canadian Prime minister. He is the Canadian head 39 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: of government. King Charles is the King for the record, 40 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: not Donald Trump. The reality is that all through our 41 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: history Canada has been the larger geography, much less populated, 42 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: but it hasn't stopped the United States from trying to 43 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: invade it multiple times, always unsuccessfully. In fact, the last 44 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: time that Americans and British soldier Canadians had weapons pointed 45 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: at one another was on a small island off the 46 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: coast of Washington State in eighteen fifty nine. It was 47 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: called the Pig War. It was a disputed island. The 48 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: territorial boundary on set these three islands Lopez Island, San 49 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Juan Island and Orcus Island. Who owned them? Was it 50 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: the British or was it the Americans? Well, what happened 51 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: is there was a fence line with an American farmer 52 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: and British farmer, and the British farmer had a pig 53 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: that was rooting on the American farmer's fence line, who 54 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: warned the British farmer over and over again to do 55 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: something about the pig. Well, the American farmer one morning 56 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: shot the pig. The British subjects on the island were 57 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: outraged and demanded the American be arrested, and so from 58 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: Vancouver was deployed a detachment of Royal Marine to do 59 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: just that. The Americans on the island would not have it, 60 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: and so a man lended with the detachment of American 61 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: marines under his command that would soon join an infamous 62 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: role in American history. That man's name was George Pickett, 63 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: but George Pickett, at that point last in his class, 64 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: from West Point took command of the Americans. The British 65 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: and American forces on the island did everything they conceivably 66 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: could do to broke one another to fire the first 67 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: shot before word reached London and Washington. Of course, on 68 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: the eve of the American Civil War, the governments in 69 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: Whitehall put a stop to it. In the end, the Kaiser, 70 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: considered to be the wisest states of the day, was 71 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: the only person that both sides both parties, the British, 72 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: the Canadians, and the Americans could agree would be fair 73 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: in the resolution of the border dispute, and the Kaiser 74 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: decided those islands they belonged to the United States, and 75 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: that was the last time there was any dispute whatsoever 76 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: about what the boundary between our two nations were. On 77 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one, thousands and thousands of 78 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Americans were in the air when the towers were hit 79 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: and those planes had to land. American airspace was closed. 80 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: Those planes landed and Gander, Newfoundland. There's a play about it, 81 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Comes from Away, that tells the story of the tens 82 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: of thousands of Americans taken into the homes of ordinary Canadians. 83 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: This isn't funny what Donald Trump did. When we play 84 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: a baseball game against the Canadian team, for example a 85 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: Yankee stadium, Americans respectfully stand for the Canadian national anthem 86 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: because it's a different nation. Our teams play each other 87 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: in the Olympic Games, and the sons of our nations 88 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: have fought together, they have served together, and they have 89 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: died together in the First World War, in the Second 90 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: World War, in the Korean War, and in the war 91 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. When a young Canadian soldier was killed because 92 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: America was attacked. His body when it's laid out in 93 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: his cough in the box where his body will be 94 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: laid to rest, it's not traped with an American flag. 95 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: Straped with the Canadian flag. Canadians have pride in their country, 96 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: and they have a great history, one that they should 97 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: be proud of and one that every single American should respect. 98 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: Starting with the President of the United States, Donald Trump 99 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: has broken many traditions, many norms, many standards. Here is 100 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: a terrible one. He called Saudi Arabia first when he 101 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: was elected president in twenty and sixteen. President is that 102 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: the President of the United States calls our best friend first, Canada, 103 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: and he does it by reaching out to the Prime Minister. 104 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: There are millions of Americans married to Canadians, millions of 105 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Canadians married to Americans. We have families that are intertwined 106 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: on both sides of the border. We have militaries that 107 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: are operating to together in places like Cheyenne Mountain. There 108 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: are Canadian astronauts that are part of the Artemis program. 109 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: It's not an American state. It's not something funny to 110 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: joke about. Right now, in Europe, in the Ukraine, there 111 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: is a war between two nations, a bigger and more powerful, 112 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: nuclear armed one and its sovereign neighbor, which has killed 113 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: a million people. In the Middle East, Assad has been 114 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: overthrown the world stands at this second in a moment 115 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: of crisis, in a moment of danger, and what Donald 116 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: Trump is doing is taunting the Canadian Prime Minister. Now 117 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: no doubt this will be celebrated and laughed about on 118 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Fox News, dismissed in other places. But the same people 119 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: cheering for this stupidity, or the same Niolis cheering for 120 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: the assassin of the healthcare CEO gunned down into Manhattan Street, 121 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: to the type of niel Is insanity that for no 122 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: reason whatsoever, just wants to burn, burn relationships, burn alliances, 123 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: burn our history to the ground for Trump because why 124 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: it's funny, It's not hits looking disgraceful and it will 125 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: never not be.
