Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: Single best idea, and we say good morning. After an
Speaker 2: exhausting week for any and all. It continues again. Today
Speaker 2: we saw markets really training off. Very little news out
Speaker 2: of the White House. Kevin Hassett with some headlines, but
Speaker 2: really other than that, quiet. Henrietta Treys is never quiet.
Speaker 2: We're thrilled that she would be with us. She's been
Speaker 2: with us pretty much every other day, maybe every third
Speaker 2: day right now, adding huge value on Capitol Hill. Henrietta
Speaker 2: Treys not in the White House, but on the Senate
Speaker 2: and the House.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's doable for Trump and the administration
Speaker 1: because he personally is so popular. Who it's not doable
Speaker 1: for is the House and Senate Republicans. So I would
Speaker 1: take Alaska as a example. You have states like Alaska
Speaker 1: that are heavily fery, federally subsidized whose you know, veterans
Speaker 1: are being fired three hundred and thirty one veterans just
Speaker 1: in Alaska alone already from DOGE before they even get
Speaker 1: to this big sweep of eighty thousand veterans they're planning
Speaker 1: to fire, and the big sweep of federal employees they're
Speaker 1: planning to fire over the summer. You have these individual
Speaker 1: Senators and individual House members in swing districts or those
Speaker 1: votes that have gone back and forth, and those members
Speaker 1: are already illustrating that they can't whether it's storm, they've
Speaker 1: canceled town halls. Democrats are sort of gleefully pointing that
Speaker 1: out and holding their own so that those disaffected come
Speaker 1: and speak. I don't think that it's a problem for Trump.
Speaker 1: I think it's a problem for the rest of the
Speaker 1: Republican conference, and that means they have a year to
Speaker 1: get their legislation enacted and then they'll get s Toll
Speaker 1: Act in the midterms, which is normal.
Speaker 2: Andriett of Treys again there on the midterms being critical,
Speaker 2: particularly for those facing reelection. In two thousand twenty six,
Speaker 2: speaking of elections in Canada, an election within a party,
Speaker 2: the Liberal Party called the US Democratic Party, with Mark
Speaker 2: Carney winning decisively, and he will, within their parliamentary system,
Speaker 2: call an election and it will be Republican versus Democrat,
Speaker 2: Conservative versus Liberal. We went to Toronto to someone with
Speaker 2: immense Toronto experience with the Globe and Mail and now
Speaker 2: with Bloomberg News, Derek Declute on the paths forward for Canada.
Speaker 3: The first word that comes to mind is anger, and
Speaker 3: I mean that it's out right anger. There was a
Speaker 3: poll last week that was published asking Canadians how they
Speaker 3: view the United States, whether it's an ally country, an
Speaker 3: enemy country, or a neutral. For the first time, I
Speaker 3: think ever ally and enemy are equal. Thirty percent of
Speaker 3: Canadians believe the US is an ally, thirty percent say enemy,
Speaker 3: and most of the rest say neutral. And that is
Speaker 3: you know, I think a year ago those numbers would
Speaker 3: not have looked anything like that. That is entirely because
Speaker 3: of the trade war and the fifty first state haunts
Speaker 3: and justin Trudeau. I mean, every poll that you see
Speaker 3: shows just a huge level of opposition to anything like
Speaker 3: a fifty first state idea. It's an eighty to ninety
Speaker 3: percent range. It's similar across the country. There is there
Speaker 3: is no political appetit up here for discussion about any
Speaker 3: type of union with the US.
Speaker 2: From our offices in Toronto, Derek Toclude there on the
Speaker 2: fractious moment for Canada. This is single best idea on
