Speaker 1: This is the premier.
Speaker 2: That's the Canadian word for governor of Ontario, Doug Ford.
Speaker 2: He's a bit different in style than Prime Minister Mark Carney,
Speaker 2: but no less effective politically. He's a bit of a brawler.
Speaker 2: Elbows up, eh?
Speaker 3: I just wanted to sort of figure out your thinking
Speaker 3: about how you thread this needle with the president taking
Speaker 3: very specific aim at you in deeply personal ways. Why
Speaker 3: is that good?
Speaker 4: Well, good. You know something? I've been in this game
Speaker 4: a lot longer than he has. I got skin on
Speaker 4: me like an alligator. And you think an insult from
Speaker 4: him hurts me? Well, bring it on, buddy. I'm ready.
Speaker 4: Bring it on. You know something? I've dealt with guys
Speaker 4: like you my whole life. And guess what? You all
Speaker 4: become losers because you're a loser.
Speaker 1: This is The Warning.
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal said this was the stupidest trade
Speaker 2: war in all of human history.
Speaker 1: And it got dumber over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Let's hear from the most incompetent Treasury Secretary in American history. Unbelievably,
Speaker 2: this man sits in an office once held by Alexander Hamilton,
Speaker 2: which is in its own way a refutation to Darwin's
Speaker 2: theory of evolution.
Speaker 5: Does the United States and President Trump still want Canada
Speaker 5: to become a state? He did say that they're getting
Speaker 5: all the benefits of being a state without.
Speaker 4: Being one?
Speaker 5: I think he would like Canada to come to the
Speaker 5: table and negotiate in good faith. They were offered quite
Speaker 5: a good deal last week.
Speaker 1: They chose to reject it.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, Prime Minister Carney rose to power on an anti-American,
Speaker 5: anti-Trump platform. I believe he was more than 20 points behind,
Speaker 5: and he seems to have gone back to his old playbook.
Speaker 5: And I think one has to ask oneself, Is he
Speaker 5: trying to benefit himself, the Liberal Party, or the Canadian people?
Speaker 5: Because they were offered a very good job.
Speaker 1: No, Scott.
Speaker 2: Canada did not start this. The buffoon, the rapist, the felon,
Speaker 2: the conman, the scumbag you work for, he started it.
Speaker 1: And it's why..
Speaker 2: He has a 30% approval level in the United States.
Speaker 2: And this is something for all the MAGA dummies out
Speaker 2: there to try to understand. Who's going to win the
Speaker 2: fight between the United States and Canada? The answer to
Speaker 2: that question is very simple. Canada will win and Trump
Speaker 2: will back down. And here's a reason why. 76% of
Speaker 2: the Canadian people, of all parties, of all persuasions, stand
Speaker 2: behind Prime Minister Mark Carney. In America, Trump is the
Speaker 2: most unpopular president in the history of Poland. He has
Speaker 2: a 30% approval level, meaning his coalition has collapsed and
Speaker 2: the American people stand against him. The majority of Americans
Speaker 2: have deep respect and appreciation and love for Canada. And
Speaker 2: for many score of millions of us, Canada is a
Speaker 2: home for our families. And the scores of millions of
Speaker 2: Americans across the border who are dependent on the Canadian
Speaker 2: economy and the trillion dollar flow of trade that passes
Speaker 2: back and forth across the border, this Trump foolishness is
Speaker 2: another economic disaster that no one needed and no one wanted.
Speaker 2: But let's be clear. Donald Trump is not trying to
Speaker 2: get a good deal. He's trying to break a country,
Speaker 2: a democracy, an ally, America's greatest friend. What Donald Trump
Speaker 2: is trying to do is turn Canada into a vassal state.
Speaker 2: We should go back to the beginning, to this moment
Speaker 2: of singular disgrace in the Oval Office with the greatest
Speaker 2: man of this age, President Zelensky of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: This was an.
Speaker 2: Exact recreation of what happened at Hitler's Berghof with the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of Austria back in the day.
Speaker 1: It was an act of thuggery. What kind of diplomacy, JD,
Speaker 1: you are speaking about? What do you mean?
Speaker 6: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
Speaker 6: end the destruction of your country. Mr.
Speaker 1: President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for.
Speaker 6: You to come into the Oval Office and try to
Speaker 6: litigate this.
Speaker 1: In front of the American media.
Speaker 6: Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts
Speaker 6: to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
Speaker 5: You should be thanking the President for trying to bring
Speaker 5: it into this conflict.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what
Speaker 1: problems we have?
Speaker 2: The United States of America should... always stand for liberty,
Speaker 2: for freedom. We are not an empire, nor are we
Speaker 2: a colonial power. And the United States is not a
Speaker 2: nation that seeks conquest, at least not until recently. Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: in threatening to invade the sovereign territory of Denmark, wrecked
Speaker 2: America's moral reputation across Europe. And though the American people
Speaker 2: don't seem to realize it, that change, it's a big one.
Speaker 2: And we will feel it because America increasingly will be
Speaker 2: alone and untrusted because it has turned dangerous, because it
Speaker 2: has turned malevolent. As Mark Carney said, America has changed.
Speaker 2: And sometimes its signature is written in pencil.
Speaker 6: We've been under no illusions. We recognized from the start
Speaker 6: that America has changed. Early last year, in this room,
Speaker 6: I observed that the decades-long process of steadily increasing integration
Speaker 6: between our economies was over. Our government understood before many
Speaker 6: that America would transform all of its commercial relationships, that
Speaker 6: it would put a series of tariffs on its closest
Speaker 6: allies and use economic integration as a weapon. We recognize
Speaker 6: that sometimes its signature was written in pencil.
Speaker 2: What an appalling, dishonorable, disgraceful indictment leveled against the United
Speaker 2: States and our national honor by a friend, which is
Speaker 2: what makes the words hurt so much, that we the
Speaker 2: people have allowed this by electing this depraved man to
Speaker 2: Washington's office, to Lincoln's office, to John Kennedy's office.
Speaker 1: What a sick error. in the United States.
Speaker 2: Mark Carney has made clear Canada will fight for its survival,
Speaker 2: for its sovereignty, for its dignity, and it will not
Speaker 2: bow and it will not yield. And as an American,
Speaker 2: I say thank you, Mark Carney. And I say thank you,
Speaker 2: Doug Ford. And I say thank you to every Canadian
Speaker 2: who will not do what most every elite in America did,
Speaker 2: which is get on their knees, lay on their bellies,
Speaker 2: and tremble in front of Donald Trump. No, The Canadians
Speaker 2: are making a stand. And Mark Carney, the most important
Speaker 2: elected official in the English-speaking world, is teaching a valuable
Speaker 2: lesson to the Democratic Party in the United States, to
Speaker 2: every feckless world leader, that sometimes you have to draw
Speaker 2: a line, and sometimes you have to stand on that line,
Speaker 2: and sometimes you have to refuse to take one step back.
Speaker 2: And that is what we are seeing in Canada. And
Speaker 2: this American finds it thrilling because the toughness of the
Speaker 2: Canadian leaders is going to be a light unto the world.
Speaker 2: And after Mark Carney and Doug Ford and the Canadians
Speaker 2: who have come together break Trump and force him down,
Speaker 2: something's going to change. Everyone's going to look at Trump
Speaker 2: and know he picked up the wrong rattlesnake. The deal
Speaker 2: is this. Canada's ready for a fight, and America is
Speaker 2: weak and divided. Our economy is teetering. Our society is
Speaker 2: cracking in some fundamental ways.
Speaker 1: In Canada, it's never been stronger.
Speaker 2: And when Scott Besson talks about where Carney ran on
Speaker 2: an anti-American platform, he did no such thing. He ran
Speaker 2: on a pro-Canadian platform, and he identified the greatest threat
Speaker 2: facing his country, which is the malignancy that Scott Besant
Speaker 2: lives on his knees for.
Speaker 1: That's why.
Speaker 2: And every American should be thrilled to see the fight
Speaker 2: and inspired by the toughness of our neighbors, our friends,
Speaker 2: and our families. And that's why this American stands with Canada.
