Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Center is.
Speaker 3: America's only surce for news. This is the Daily Show.
Speaker 4: With your home song.
Speaker 5: How Welcome to the Daily Show, ny Cock Turk. We
Speaker 5: got a great joke for you tonight.
Speaker 1: I didn't even want to tell you this before economist
Speaker 1: Mark Carney is here. Yeah, you us for it. We listened.
Speaker 1: We will be discussing whether or not he's going to
Speaker 1: run to be the Liberal Party of Canada's new leader,
Speaker 1: or if he will be the governor of our fifty
Speaker 1: first state.
Speaker 6: We're not sure yet.
Speaker 1: But of course, all news pales in comparison to what
Speaker 1: is occurring right now in the state of California. Horrifying
Speaker 1: inferno whose danger even now has not passed. But even
Speaker 1: amongst the tragedy and sadness, there have been incredible moments
Speaker 1: of human compassion and kindness, neighbors looking after neighbors, charitable
Speaker 1: contributions pouring into GoFundMe from all areas of the world,
Speaker 1: mainly the tireless and heroic actions of firefighters in the
Speaker 1: California region soe of then prisoners fighting with incredible bravery
Speaker 1: and tenacity, rescue workers from all over the country, rescue
Speaker 1: workers from outside the country, rescue workers from Mexico, Mexico.
Speaker 1: Damn your open borders, Biden boy, I guess they are
Speaker 1: sending us their best. You want to know how bad
Speaker 1: it is in California right now, Here's how bad it is.
Speaker 7: President Vladimir Zelenski has offered to send one hundred and
Speaker 7: fifty Ukrainian first responders to help battle the massive wildfires.
Speaker 1: We're so fed that a country that has been relentlessly
Speaker 1: bombed for almost three years was like you poor best.
Speaker 1: But it is a testament to the resilientdiance of the
Speaker 1: human spirit of man's ability across cultural and political and
Speaker 1: religious lines in times of crisis to appeal to our
Speaker 1: better angels, as Archbishop Desmond tutu One said, we are
Speaker 1: made for goodness and love and compassion, or as our
Speaker 1: own President elect put it.
Speaker 6: Trump shared a meme on truth Social of fires raging
Speaker 6: behind the Hollywood Sign, which was photoshopped to read Trump
Speaker 6: was right.
Speaker 1: Appropriate. Thank you, mister President. I'd almost forgotten your pension
Speaker 1: for casual cruelty and dick foolery flames. Nice touch on
Speaker 1: the graphics. Surely you won't be content with just trolling
Speaker 1: those in dire need. Surely you also see this as
Speaker 1: a merch portunity.
Speaker 8: The New York Post posted these images of President elect
Speaker 8: Donald Trump driving a golf cart wearing a Trump was
Speaker 8: right about everything hat.
Speaker 1: Trump was right about almost everything. I wouldn't say he
Speaker 1: was right about the outfit choice rule of thumb. Never
Speaker 1: dressed in the same color scheme as the upholstery of
Speaker 1: your own vehicle. Unless wait, perhaps Trump has reached his
Speaker 1: highest form, part man, part golf cart, and apparently all cholesterol.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess uh RFK junior stat Okay,
Speaker 1: but Trump is control. The problem now is Republicans appear
Speaker 1: to want to attach there I told you SOS as
Speaker 1: a condition of funding California's disaster relief.
Speaker 9: I expect that there will be strings attached to money
Speaker 9: that is ultimately approved.
Speaker 3: I think there should probably be conditions on that day.
Speaker 3: That's personal view.
Speaker 1: Before we put funds into place, We've got to find
Speaker 1: out exactly how we're going to hold these leaders accountable
Speaker 1: and what sort of policy changes are required. There can't
Speaker 1: be a blank check on this. They don't deserve anything.
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, and the last they show
Speaker 3: us they're going to make some changes.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is wrong with you, really, senator from Alabama,
Speaker 1: the state near the bottom in math reading and test scores.
Speaker 1: Next time you get hit by a hurricane, why don't
Speaker 1: we have a little parent teacher conference to see that
Speaker 1: if you got your scores up, you would get the money.
Speaker 1: Or actually, let's not do it, because you'll get the
Speaker 1: money anyway, because we're not psychos. That is psychotic. There's
Speaker 1: something wrong with you. And you know what, And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I can do the Daily Show back and
Speaker 1: run down all the congress people and senators on the
Speaker 1: right calling for conditions on disasterrate that absolutely had the
Speaker 1: opposite view when it was their state on the line.
Speaker 1: We need to do everything we can. We have citizens
Speaker 1: that are literally going to get worse by the day.
Speaker 1: Just shut the fuck up because I can do it.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't even matter. I'm not even gonna do
Speaker 1: it because red states are always the tragic victims of
Speaker 1: circumstance outside of their control, and Democrats always vote for
Speaker 1: their aid, whereas blue state disasters are a function of
Speaker 1: their flawed morality and policy. And if we help blue
Speaker 1: state survivors, well, what message will that send? What lesson
Speaker 1: will they learn? But fine? If strings must be attached,
Speaker 1: what be the strings?
Speaker 10: The problem with California is forestry management.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's true. I didn't that's true. The management
Speaker 1: of the forest. You have to rake the leaves and
Speaker 1: shut down the illegal elf tree cookie factory. It's the
Speaker 1: I understand. And what a great, utterly anodyne suggestion. I mean,
Speaker 1: what forest couldn't be managed better? I mean, you've been
Speaker 1: to a forest lately. Chaos. It's chaos in the dirt
Speaker 1: and leaves and what is that bear shit? I'm sure
Speaker 1: I want to see the manager. Okay, so we get
Speaker 1: the money if we have better forest management, everybody then
Speaker 1: gets food and clothes. What else?
Speaker 3: They've not done the necessary work to make sure there's
Speaker 3: fresh water flowing. It's a key areas.
Speaker 7: Oh water, no question, no question. Water for the fire.
Speaker 7: I'm going to get that message to the firefighters. Toot.
Speaker 1: Sweet water is so important. Water is a terrific fire.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say the R word, but
Speaker 1: I but, as I always say, more, what do you
Speaker 1: got there, mister fire? Nothing like water? Water works on
Speaker 1: all kinds of fire, except for one kind of fire.
Speaker 1: But I don't know which one that is, but odds
Speaker 1: are with you point taking forest management and get some
Speaker 1: water up here, and then your children may have blankets.
Speaker 1: These are all great pointers on how to mitigate fires,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure California has absolutely been trying water and
Speaker 1: forest management. Maybe not good enough, but they have it.
Speaker 1: There's one thing you might not be considering as you
Speaker 1: criticize them, and that's this. I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of a system you can develop that completely mitigates the
Speaker 1: risk of fire plus drought conditions plus sixty to eighty
Speaker 1: mile per hour winds plus delicious wood. Look at this.
Speaker 1: Look what's happening right there? Do you see this fire
Speaker 1: to tornado? Break your way out of that? Do you understand?
Speaker 1: I love the blame game. I love the blame game.
Speaker 1: I play it all the time. But the fires are
Speaker 1: out and the fire to torn The only thing that
Speaker 1: would stop that is the absence of oxygen, which, if
Speaker 1: I'm being honest, we could do. Hear me out. There's
Speaker 1: something something called a klosh. A close is a covering.
Speaker 1: You've probably seen it in pie shops. You can put
Speaker 1: a close now if I'm just very quickly, guys, that's
Speaker 1: the continental sized cloche that we had on a previous
Speaker 1: program suggested for immigration reform, we need a little more
Speaker 1: casual guests. Can you check on the sideboard behind the
Speaker 1: gravy frigates. It's not if it's not there, it's under
Speaker 1: the sink. The California that's it. The California closure air
Speaker 1: tight the best way to smother a Los Angeles sized fire.
Speaker 1: And if you live in New Jersey, keep a pie
Speaker 1: fresh in a diner for eight to nine years. The close.
Speaker 1: I am going to make clothes happen years from now. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a hat that says, don't do it
Speaker 1: with writing about everything? Oh god, what all you idiots
Speaker 1: or dead? Don't you so? But these people don't actually care.
Speaker 1: They're not actually trying to find a solution. They're just
Speaker 1: trying to work their pet issues into this tragic situation.
Speaker 1: It's confusing, but thankfully some people are being more explicit
Speaker 1: in their conspiracy theories.
Speaker 11: On ex Representative Marjorie Taylor Green asked why don't they
Speaker 11: use geoengineering like cloud seating to bring rain down on
Speaker 11: the wildfires in California?
Speaker 3: They know how to do it.
Speaker 1: Who is they, Margaret? Are you perhaps referring to the
Speaker 1: theyish people. Is that is that what it is, Margaret,
Speaker 1: The very same people that control the area on fire.
Speaker 1: Why would we they destroy the very industry they control
Speaker 1: when we also have the means to bring the rains.
Speaker 1: We have space lasers and we can bring rain. The
Speaker 1: clues of them, Margaret, Alex News.
Speaker 11: Alex Jones wrote that Los Angeles fires are part of
Speaker 11: a larger globalist plot to wage economic warfare and de
Speaker 11: industrialize the United States before triggering total collapse.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, well it's Alex Jones. He is certainly
Speaker 1: known for this type of thinking. I don't believe anyone
Speaker 1: is going to be taken in by this type of post.
Speaker 11: Elon Mus corresponded to that post by writing, true.
Speaker 1: No, I feel safe, but unfortunately a lot of the
Speaker 1: information that's out there is not correct, and because of
Speaker 1: poor forest management, that information just jumps, igniting into larger
Speaker 1: and larger nonsense infernos that coincidentally seem to reinforce whatever
Speaker 1: grudge any of these folks have against California, especially their ideology.
Speaker 1: When you hear stories about State of Oregon sending sixty
Speaker 1: fire trucks, I haven't confirmed that myself yet. But they
Speaker 1: had to go to Sacramento to get emissions testing, get
Speaker 1: them to LA where they're needed. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: woke on, woke on wild kind of stuff. Oh, woke
Speaker 1: on wild. I remember those VHS tapes spring Breakers, reading
Speaker 1: the autobiography of Malcolm X and putting on more clothes,
Speaker 1: getting cat called show us your privilege. By the way,
Speaker 1: as far as what he was saying, those fired, the
Speaker 1: whole thing is bullshit. The fire trucks were not sent
Speaker 1: to Sacramento to get emissions testing. They were sent there
Speaker 1: to be transitioned into minivans without their parents' consent. That's
Speaker 1: what happened. But man, if there is one thing harder
Speaker 1: to extinguish than the fires, it is the most resilient
Speaker 1: of the rights talking points. The whole thing is a
Speaker 1: complete disaster.
Speaker 3: A lot of it comes back to DEI.
Speaker 1: Kristin Crowley, the fire chief in Los Angeles. She is
Speaker 1: a very silly woman, the first gay female fire chief ever. Wow.
Speaker 8: Under her is Christina kept first lesbian assistant chief. Then
Speaker 8: under her is Christine Larson. They're all Christina Christina.
Speaker 1: She's also a.
Speaker 8: Lesbian Christina Christina Christina lesbian, lesbian, lesbian what what are
Speaker 8: you doing?
Speaker 2: You just summoned them?
Speaker 1: Do you understand you can't You can't just say the
Speaker 1: name three times? Do you know what? You're just unleashed
Speaker 1: onto this earth. From now on, it's just infernos and
Speaker 1: lesbian firefighters. Anyway. I'm not sure Megan with a why
Speaker 1: should be criticizing people named Christina? But apparently to the right,
Speaker 1: drought conditions, high winds, and densely stacked flammable structures were
Speaker 1: all fine until they added to lesbians. Then something pecurely happen.
Speaker 4: What is your message to city administrators starting with Mayor Besk?
Speaker 8: My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded,
Speaker 8: and it's not.
Speaker 3: It's not at this point, does the City of Los
Speaker 3: Angeles fail you?
Speaker 11: Yes, we need to be fully fully funded and supported
Speaker 11: so that our firefighters can do their jobs.
Speaker 1: Lesbian firefighter has attacked black lady mayor. Who will the
Speaker 1: right support in this opposite of a sophie's choice? Really,
Speaker 1: I mean in the hierarchy of dee crimes, black lady
Speaker 1: mayor lesbian fire fighter. I don't know which one of
Speaker 1: those is there. I want to say white whale, but
Speaker 1: that'd be wrong. But I'm not suggesting that DEI is
Speaker 1: not responsible for it at least ninety nine percent of
Speaker 1: this tragedy. But Devil's advocate. This is the Palisades in
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty three, and that's not after a fire. It's
Speaker 1: just dead. It's like a desert and someone decided to
Speaker 1: build a city there, a densely populated allbe a beautiful
Speaker 1: city in the middle of it. That's what they did.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna guess that the person whose idea it
Speaker 1: was wasn't a lesbian firefighter or a black lady mayor.
Speaker 1: We didn't even have lesbians back then until one snuck
Speaker 1: here from France in nineteen thirty four. So stop with
Speaker 1: the DEI. Oh that was the straw that broke the
Speaker 1: cabal's back. The meritocracy built that city. The meritocracy created
Speaker 1: the dangerous conditions that made a tragedy like this almost inevitable.
Speaker 1: Don't take my.
Speaker 3: Word for it.
Speaker 1: I know the liberal argument sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher
Speaker 1: to your ear. Let me get someone who speaks to
Speaker 1: your frequency.
Speaker 10: So I was talking to this guy and he was
Speaker 10: telling me he goes, dude, one day, he goes. It's
Speaker 10: just going to be the right wind, and fire is
Speaker 10: going to start in the right place, and it's going
Speaker 10: to burn through La all the way to the ocean.
Speaker 10: And it's not a thing we can do about it now.
Speaker 1: Of course, he did go on to say lesbians will
Speaker 1: make it worse. The point is, man, we are humans.
Speaker 1: We build shit in difficult areas on the belief that
Speaker 1: we will figure out how to subdue God and nature
Speaker 1: for God's sakes. Fifty years they made a movie about
Speaker 1: what a dumb idea would be to develop this city
Speaker 1: into the country's second largest metro area. Even they knew
Speaker 1: LA wasn't a good place to raise your daughter or
Speaker 1: your sister, My sister, My God. Movies wild in the seventies,
Speaker 1: like you could do anything in movies like there's no
Speaker 1: like slap court, like literally in that they're like Jack,
Speaker 1: do it again this time when you fist, like there
Speaker 1: you do. Sometimes things happen that are beyond the bounds
Speaker 1: of human infrastructure, although admittedly the La powers that be
Speaker 1: have not covered themselves in glory at this time. Right now,
Speaker 1: if you need help, emergency information, resources and shelter is available.
Speaker 1: All of this can be found at URL. Look, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying she's Churchill. Es and gentlemen, don't worry when
Speaker 1: the bombs start falling. Don't worry. Just insert useful information here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, improvements can be made in leadership, in management,
Speaker 1: in design, in materials, in myriad ways. But sometimes fire
Speaker 1: fox a tornado and make some mockery of human infrastructure
Speaker 1: and our ability to dictate the terms of our existence
Speaker 1: on this planet. But the one thing it shouldn't dictate
Speaker 1: is the cruelty that we would show to those in pain,
Speaker 1: because we don't think they consistently vote right. But if
Speaker 1: you are gonna please, but if you're gonna attach strings,
Speaker 1: I still think this announcement was too.
Speaker 4: Far lost everything in a natural disaster. Introducing a new
Speaker 4: crowdfunding site from Congressional Republicans, Go.
Speaker 3: Thank You, Go thank You as.
Speaker 4: The number one source for politicians to dangle money over
Speaker 4: your head while delivering a monologue about why they hate
Speaker 4: your politics. No matter how hard life gets, there are
Speaker 4: people who care about your mayor's DEI policies. So start
Speaker 4: to go for you today, then sit back and wait
Speaker 4: for the helpful input about transgender athletes to roll in.
Speaker 4: Go for You available in all blue states in any
Speaker 4: cities where the mayor is black or gay.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll be talking to Mark Carney.
Speaker 2: Don't go away my guest tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. He's orr you want to hear this.
Speaker 1: He's a Canadian economist, former governor of the Bank of
Speaker 1: Canada and Bank of England. Please welcome to the program,
Speaker 1: Mark Carney, sir. Welcome, sir. I welcome you to our land, America.
Speaker 1: We are soon to be well.
Speaker 3: There was a border when I came. John, where was the.
Speaker 1: Last time you checked twitters? So you've really involved yourself
Speaker 1: in I remember you from two thousand and eight, and
Speaker 1: I truly I mean this, your work in helping Canada
Speaker 1: get through the economic crisis of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: the financial crisis that hit this country terribly, and I
Speaker 1: thought made a lot of really painful decisions for the
Speaker 1: people of this country. I thought Canada avoided the worst
Speaker 1: of that, and I believe you played a very strong
Speaker 1: role in that.
Speaker 3: We did. I mean, thank you. We did. Here's and
Speaker 3: but we.
Speaker 9: You know, we did because we didn't do things that
Speaker 9: we didn't understand. So we didn't let our banks do
Speaker 9: things that they didn't understand, just because all the other
Speaker 9: banks were doing them, so subprime cdo squared really, you know,
Speaker 9: fancy derivatives.
Speaker 1: You're saying you didn't let you thought, let's not let
Speaker 1: the banks dissolve mortgages into particulate matter, mix it into cups,
Speaker 1: throw it off, throw it in the air, and then
Speaker 1: sell that.
Speaker 9: Well, throw it in the air, take a big profit,
Speaker 9: pay themselves a lot of money, yes, and then it
Speaker 9: hits the ground.
Speaker 1: How did you not have to do that?
Speaker 3: We didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: Job, some of them don't understand it. That's all it took.
Speaker 1: That's all it took. So you've gone off now and
Speaker 1: you've worked with Bregsitt in the Bank of England trying
Speaker 1: to Is that.
Speaker 3: My idea, Briggs, it wasn't. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, you're Canadian. You're very polite, very nice. You're never
Speaker 1: one of those like I want to leave a union. No,
Speaker 1: you stay in it until it dies. What what what
Speaker 1: are they making up there of the overtures and sort
Speaker 1: of trolling to Canada about being a part of the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the bottom line is not going to happen.
Speaker 3: Uh Jews that that I mean?
Speaker 1: Uh? Because you don't want you don't want well, we.
Speaker 9: We're we're proud, we find you very attractive, but we're
Speaker 9: not we're not moving We're not not moving in with you.
Speaker 9: It's it's not you, it's us. We have if we
Speaker 9: do things a little differently in Canada, were we believe
Speaker 9: and I just walked up before you.
Speaker 1: Go any further, I'm up for it. We're up for it.
Speaker 1: Whatever you do differently. We want experiment to what do
Speaker 1: you guys want?
Speaker 3: You you want like, we can be friends.
Speaker 9: There could be a few benefits, John, friends with benefits,
Speaker 9: but not I'm not going to commit all the way
Speaker 9: benefits of trade, benefits of you know, defense, right, Yeah,
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 1: We'll be cool about it. We won't levy tariffs on
Speaker 1: all your goods as retribution for you not going out
Speaker 1: with us. We respect your boundaries. Is it is there
Speaker 1: a fear now that there will be an economic trade
Speaker 1: war with how much of this do you believe is
Speaker 1: is bluster? And how much preparation do you need to
Speaker 1: do for it?
Speaker 3: Well, we have to prepare for it.
Speaker 9: And I think you know you look at what happened
Speaker 9: five six years ago when we did have a similar
Speaker 9: situation with the trade war and others being.
Speaker 1: A lumber and well there was only a few lumbers.
Speaker 3: Lumbers very important to us.
Speaker 1: John.
Speaker 9: Uh, the you know it's it's fool me one. Shame
Speaker 9: on you, f me twice, Shame on me. Right, why
Speaker 9: don't we feel what I feel like? You're breaking up
Speaker 9: with me? The entire interview, This is this, we're resetting
Speaker 9: the relationship and we're going to be stronger.
Speaker 3: We're going to be stronger going forward, because as you say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm just kidding, swiped left hard as hell.
Speaker 1: Uh do you think this time? You know, look, I
Speaker 1: don't know that Americans know that fifty of you know,
Speaker 1: our fuel comes from Canada.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, the electricity for this, for this show comes
Speaker 9: from not this show.
Speaker 3: We got some solar up on there.
Speaker 1: We're to ours only comes from Venezuela. We're that leftist,
Speaker 1: it's that bad.
Speaker 9: Well, that that that you know, that brings a point
Speaker 9: four and a half million barrels a little more than
Speaker 9: that of oil come from Canada to the United States.
Speaker 9: And if you don't take that oil the way your
Speaker 9: refineries are, your other option is Venezuela.
Speaker 1: No. So okay, So that's it's funny you bring that up,
Speaker 1: taking them over as well. Are you surprised at you know,
Speaker 1: is America generally? You know, I think we've always been
Speaker 1: known as we like to live our values and speak them.
Speaker 1: It feels like this administration is going to be more
Speaker 1: explicit about what's really happening. Hey, what's up Greenland. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, but you have something
Speaker 1: under your soil that we want, so you're hours. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like past administrations would do the same thing,
Speaker 1: but they would be like, and we're liberating you, like
Speaker 1: they would make it a high minded affair. Is it
Speaker 1: easier to deal with someone that is transactional at his
Speaker 1: core in that way? Take your time.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going to tell you now, I think in
Speaker 9: the end it's not because in the end, in a relationship,
Speaker 9: I'm going to keep the relationship.
Speaker 1: My god, if we're going to kill therapy, what is happening?
Speaker 1: Every time you're like, I hear.
Speaker 3: You, I hear.
Speaker 9: I made a few resolutions this year, John, and it
Speaker 9: was still in January.
Speaker 3: But you've got to you got to have some shared values.
Speaker 9: You've got to be able to predict how the other
Speaker 9: is going to behave so it's not just a series
Speaker 9: of transactions right, Look, we can do a series of transactions.
Speaker 9: We're fine. We're in a strong position. You want to
Speaker 9: do a series of deals, you know, Uh, we can
Speaker 9: do that.
Speaker 3: What's much better is to look at our look at
Speaker 3: everything we've had, John.
Speaker 1: Together, and we couldn't. You were just about the leading.
Speaker 1: You're like, look, man, if it's late and you're drunk,
Speaker 1: you can call us.
Speaker 3: It's cool.
Speaker 1: But I would rather we need something to each other so.
Speaker 3: That, yeah, we get something out of this together, like
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon in the park.
Speaker 1: What you're talking about, little bit? And so right now
Speaker 1: there is is turmoil. Well Trudeau has resigned. Yuh, there
Speaker 1: will be new elections. When do you know when the
Speaker 1: new elections are?
Speaker 3: They have to be by October.
Speaker 1: They could come sooner, sooner than October.
Speaker 3: Sooner than October.
Speaker 1: Yes, what would be the trigger of the elections sooner?
Speaker 9: Well, it would be likely the choice of the current
Speaker 9: governing party, which is a Liberal party.
Speaker 1: And you are of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 3: I am of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 1: Yes, are they looking for a new leader?
Speaker 3: I think they might be.
Speaker 1: John, sir, may I recommend to you with your charm
Speaker 1: and debonair wit, yet strong financial backbone, that you offer
Speaker 1: yourself as have you offered yourself as as leader?
Speaker 3: I just started thinking about it when you throw not yes.
Speaker 2: Just here the Conservatives have h and.
Speaker 1: This will this will blow your mind. So the Conservatives
Speaker 1: are run by Pierre Pouliet. Did I say that correctly? Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a fictional JK. Rowling name at best. Pierre pol
Speaker 1: This is and this always fascinates me. I want to
Speaker 1: show this. This is so Trudeau. Obviously. The other guy
Speaker 1: is Pierre Polliev. It looks like and he is Trudeau's rival. Yes,
Speaker 1: they look like two fictional boys' school rivals in like
Speaker 1: or like. Poll seems like a villain in a like
Speaker 1: karate Kid movie. Like there's something very very off putting.
Speaker 1: What is he like in person?
Speaker 6: Proddie, take your.
Speaker 3: To You're not you're not, You're not far off.
Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 3: He is, there is. I'll say this.
Speaker 9: There is a type of politician. You have a few
Speaker 9: of them here in the United States. I think we
Speaker 9: just stop it. Yeah, they had a lot in and
Speaker 9: around Brexit.
Speaker 3: Yes, and we have mister paulief in Canada.
Speaker 9: Type of politician who's you know, tend to be lifelong politician,
Speaker 9: really tend to worship the market. They've never actually worked
Speaker 9: in the private sector, and they see opportunity and tragedy
Speaker 9: like you just had with the California fires, these horrible fires,
Speaker 9: and they see opportunity and tragedy to push an agenda
Speaker 9: that here's when they prepared earlier and they and they
Speaker 9: fit it in. And so whether it was Brexit here
Speaker 9: often you know, the Star of the Beast type approach.
Speaker 9: So Pierre Pauliev when COVID started, his reaction was, there's
Speaker 9: a good time to cut spending and cut taxes. Everyone's
Speaker 9: just been pushed out of a job. Nobody's got worked,
Speaker 9: so let's cut the taxes on the work they don't have,
Speaker 9: and let's take away the social safety net when everybody's vulnerable.
Speaker 1: Wow, and how did that work out for me?
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately he was in opposition.
Speaker 1: So oh, that was his idea.
Speaker 3: That was his idea.
Speaker 1: Ah and the people now see the head wins for
Speaker 1: this more right wing populism though, are all around the world,
Speaker 1: and it feels like Canada is no different there. I mean,
Speaker 1: did Trudeau bow out because he knew he wouldn't win?
Speaker 1: Is this an attempt to give the Liberal party there
Speaker 1: a chance?
Speaker 3: I think it does give the Liberal Party a chance?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 1: Right, and he did that purposefully.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he came to that. Yeah, he came to that conclusion.
Speaker 1: He came to that conclusion. Or Nancy Pelosi called him and.
Speaker 3: Said, somewhere in the middle, some meatirical.
Speaker 1: Comedy shows up. There did a bit that made fun
Speaker 1: of him for five minutes, and he fell apart. Who So,
Speaker 1: who are the top contenders right now that you believe
Speaker 1: give the Liberal Party the best chance? Poliev is going
Speaker 1: to be their champion. Yes, yeah, who would give the
Speaker 1: best opportunity?
Speaker 9: Well, I think in a situation like this, you need change,
Speaker 9: You need to address the economy. We've got an economic
Speaker 9: crisis because of what mister Trump is about to do
Speaker 9: or saying he's about to do. But we also have
Speaker 9: challenges in housing, cost of living.
Speaker 1: Did you need the same inflationary pressures that we faced here?
Speaker 9: You know, I can debate the absolute level, but we
Speaker 9: had the same inflationary pressure as well.
Speaker 1: No, we will debate the absolute level.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think.
Speaker 9: I think the look Canadian has been very hard pressed
Speaker 9: in the last few years. Wages have not kept up
Speaker 9: with inflation. People are you know, people are falling behind,
Speaker 9: not getting ahead. Housing is very expensive, and there's this
Speaker 9: broader concern again exclamation point put on by the Trump tariffs,
Speaker 9: about what the future brings. The world's more divided, it's
Speaker 9: more dangerous.
Speaker 3: What are we going to do?
Speaker 9: And truth be told, the government has been not as
Speaker 9: focused on those issues use as it could be. We
Speaker 9: need to focus on them immediately. That can happen now,
Speaker 9: and that's what this election is.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something. I feel like I'm looking
Speaker 1: in a mirror. We just had that election.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Run. When I say run, I mean not for office,
Speaker 1: I mean run the other way that. It's so hard.
Speaker 1: It's when when the headwinds are like that, it's really
Speaker 1: difficult for a candidate to come in who is saddled
Speaker 1: with the policies that are But let's say, oh boy,
Speaker 1: let's say.
Speaker 9: Just just just throw it out a while you trying
Speaker 9: to preserve the relationship. A wild hypothetical. Let's say the
Speaker 9: candidate wasn't part of the government. Let's say the candidate
Speaker 9: did have a lot of economic experience.
Speaker 3: Let's say the candidate did deal with prices. Let's say
Speaker 3: the candidate had a plan to deal with the challenges
Speaker 3: in the here and now, sneaky.
Speaker 1: You're running as an outsider.
Speaker 3: I am an outsider.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's all. So you're going to be coming in
Speaker 1: there to say I have not been in the government.
Speaker 1: I have worked in the financial markets. I understand all
Speaker 1: the things that go around trade. I mean you worked. Look,
Speaker 1: let's take the California fires. You've done an awful lot
Speaker 1: with the banks, with insurance industries. So if you understand
Speaker 1: very particularly what's happening out there in California.
Speaker 9: Very particularly, I mean ten years ago, Government Bank of England,
Speaker 9: you oversee the Lloyd's of London, which does all the
Speaker 9: insurance for exactly this type of stuff. Ten years ago,
Speaker 9: they're saying there's gonna be a lot more fires, so
Speaker 9: we're gonna have a lot less insurance, a lot less insurance,
Speaker 9: as we've seen unfortunately in California and this, I mean
Speaker 9: it's an absolute strategy with people going through a lot
Speaker 9: less insurance place like Canada.
Speaker 3: Last year.
Speaker 9: You may have noticed here in New York we had
Speaker 9: a few fires in Canada.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was going to talk to you about that latter.
Speaker 1: The fire.
Speaker 9: The fires in Canada, including where I was born, my
Speaker 9: hometown Fort Smith, Northwest, territories around where I grew up
Speaker 9: in Alberta.
Speaker 1: These fire one second, really small town, small from Alberta,
Speaker 1: and they've probably been sleeping the whole time they heard
Speaker 1: the name is the bus coming out Berta? What are
Speaker 1: we doing here? But all.
Speaker 3: We got the fires, We got the fires, got the fires.
Speaker 9: John if the fires alone would have made Canada the
Speaker 9: fourth largest minter in the world after the United States,
Speaker 9: China and India.
Speaker 3: Just the fire, just the fires alone.
Speaker 9: And this you could see this coming ten years ago
Speaker 9: as the insurance companies and now we're dealing with this,
Speaker 9: which is why we need to act more broadly on
Speaker 9: the issue.
Speaker 1: Through climbing and everything else. Let me ask you a
Speaker 1: question about this, because this speaks to what these Republican
Speaker 1: politicians saying. They keep saying, Oh this DEI Lloyd's of
Speaker 1: LFE insurance companies ten years ago, they make risk assetments
Speaker 1: and they change policies. Did they change those policies because
Speaker 1: they assess the risk of lesbians being in the firefighting department?
Speaker 1: Or did they go climate change is happening and these
Speaker 1: fires are going to be more damaging, and they're going
Speaker 1: to happen more frequently, and so we're going to be
Speaker 1: changing our rates and we're going to be dropping policies.
Speaker 1: Which one did they go.
Speaker 9: With very decidedly the second and what they have seen
Speaker 9: is the number of these extreme events that they ensure. Remember,
Speaker 9: they're pulling back insurance from you know, you can't get
Speaker 9: insurance in many coastal areas in Florida, you can't get
Speaker 9: insurance obviously in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: So they've been pulling back.
Speaker 9: And still even with all that sophistication, the number of
Speaker 9: these extreme weather events that they ensure have gone up
Speaker 9: three times and the cost of it has gone up
Speaker 9: five times. So they are furiously backped.
Speaker 1: And this gets us to the rub, which I think
Speaker 1: is why I feel like we're in such a vice
Speaker 1: when it comes to climate change and political feasibility and
Speaker 1: what can we reasonably expect people's virtue to accomplish. You know,
Speaker 1: you have always you've championed with the banking industry esg
Speaker 1: UH projects, You've championed climate projects. As soon as these
Speaker 1: big banks got a hold that Donald Trump was going
Speaker 1: to be back in office, they all bailed, They all
Speaker 1: bailed on all these commitments that they made, and you're
Speaker 1: left in some ways holding the carbon tax bag. Is
Speaker 1: that going to make your your running more difficult?
Speaker 3: Well, you packed a lot into this, I did. Can
Speaker 3: I tell you something.
Speaker 1: I read your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 9: The U remind me to edit it later on the
Speaker 9: UH Two things. One what the banks and it's only
Speaker 9: the American banks, But what they decided.
Speaker 1: To do, yeah, is to I didn't know there were
Speaker 1: other banks.
Speaker 9: Because I'm financing. But in terms of for Canada, you know,
Speaker 9: what we need to do is make sure that we're
Speaker 9: dressing these issues, doing our bit, making our companies more competitive,
Speaker 9: because you know what's going to happen in the United
Speaker 9: States five years from now, You're going to care.
Speaker 3: About it again. Right, You're gonna have an election. You're
Speaker 3: gonna care about it again.
Speaker 9: We better be in a position where we've done our
Speaker 9: bit at that point. But we need to do it
Speaker 9: in a way that Canadians today are not paying the
Speaker 9: price right now.
Speaker 1: How do you do that? That's the rub. How do
Speaker 1: you make proactive measures on future disasters feasible in a
Speaker 1: political moment Today? Every time I've seen a gas tax
Speaker 1: or a carbon tax floating, it's not politically feasible.
Speaker 9: So the vast majority of our missions in Canada come
Speaker 9: from our industry. In fact, almost thirty percent of emissions
Speaker 9: from Canada come from the production and shipment of oil
Speaker 9: to the United States.
Speaker 1: You're welcome, You're welcome.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So part of it is cleaning that up, getting
Speaker 9: those emissions down more than changing in a very short
Speaker 9: period of time the way Canadians live.
Speaker 1: Right, But you're not obviously got to take away our oil.
Speaker 9: We'd like to take well, you you don't apparently want
Speaker 9: the oil as much as you used to.
Speaker 1: Have you decided to run yet, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the Liberal Party in Canada have said specifically
Speaker 1: they will not run. I think they fear the headwinds
Speaker 1: in this election.
Speaker 9: I want to can I say one thing on that
Speaker 9: I want to defend very because this is a very
Speaker 9: important point. So if you look at our our foreign minister,
Speaker 9: mel Ni Jolie, our finance minister Dominic LeBlanc, Steve McKinnon,
Speaker 9: who's our labor minister, they are not running in part
Speaker 9: because there's a crisis right now because of the threat
Speaker 9: of the Trump tariffs.
Speaker 1: So they're they're saying I won't run because I want
Speaker 1: to focus.
Speaker 9: They've they're there, yeah, country before already in personal ambition
Speaker 9: and it's absolutely.
Speaker 1: Right, right right, yeah, so but but do you say
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: Have a job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have a job presently.
Speaker 3: I do, but it's you know you and.
Speaker 1: Oh coy with me. I love the chase, I love
Speaker 1: this cat and mouse.
Speaker 3: Well, we had to shake things up.
Speaker 1: We are, we are having a We've spiced up our
Speaker 1: relationship tremendously throughout this interview. So congratulations on announcing on
Speaker 1: this program that you are to be the leader. That's
Speaker 1: we see her with a handshake, Mark Carney. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break and will be right back after
Speaker 1: this is sure, that's on shop for tonight, but obviously
Speaker 1: before we go, we're gonna check it with your hooks
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week, mister Jordan Clopper, Jorda,
Speaker 1: talk to me, man, What do you got on deck
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week.
Speaker 12: Well, we'll be talking about the government banning TikTok next week.
Speaker 12: John and I know we've all had our fun, but
Speaker 12: now that it's over, might I suggest a little something
Speaker 12: called books? I think you might find them equally entertaining.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that. Did you know you
Speaker 1: have a charger?
Speaker 3: Maybe a charger you don't. I just think if you.
Speaker 1: Call books you don't swipe.
Speaker 3: I just think I've read. I've turned out a book before.
Speaker 12: Okay, I've forgotten how to read.
Speaker 1: All right, Jordan, Thank God for everybody. Now, before we go,
Speaker 1: I also want to just very quickly say, please, I
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of organizations buying for support.
Speaker 1: Please consider supporting the California Fire Foundation. They're on the ground.
Speaker 1: They're working with local fire agencies and community organizations to
Speaker 1: provide support for impacted residents. If you can, please donate
Speaker 1: at URL. But that's who you are on that here.
Speaker 3: It is your moment of zat if I don't see
Speaker 3: you again. Thank you for allway.
Speaker 1: You could have stopped taking the hard questions years ago,
Speaker 1: and you didn't, so we appreciate it.
Speaker 3: This is let's say, one last dance, right.
Speaker 8: I don't know how I'm going to fill my dance
Speaker 8: card now?
