  Speaker 1: What is best in life?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: to hear the lamentation of the women.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Excuse me while I whip this out.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: All right. What's going on? What's going on? What is it?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: It's Thursday. It must be the Thursday night Radio Bologna Live.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: I'm your host, Richie Bologna. How's everybody doing out there?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: What's going on? Who we got in the chat? We
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: got Izzy, Spambot, Nevada. Good to see you guys. Izzy's saying,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: like number one. Well, that's six good comments right there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Hope your mouth is doing better, Richie. Well, I'll update you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: So as you know, this horrific procedure I had done
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: on Monday, only three days ago, mind you, three days ago.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: All right. How is it today? Well, it hurts to eat.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: It's quite painful to eat, which sucks because I love eating.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I did manage to successfully avoid... So, it's been basically
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: hurting when I eat or talk. All right? Now, today,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I successfully managed to avoid talking to anybody except for
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the Amazon delivery guy who was bringing these little cushion
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: things that I can put on the bottom of of
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the ottoman for my new couch, where there's like this
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: metal thing sticking out where the wheels are. And I
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: don't know why they would put that on there because
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it just like cuts into your ankle because like ankles
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: are going to be there. It's an ottoman. What are
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: they thinking? Why would they do that? What is it? What,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: what is the thought process there by the way?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's make this thing and it will represent the,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: relaxation after a long day it will also represent needless
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: human suffering why just not don't put the fucking metal
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: things that stick out anyway it's fixed you don't have
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to worry about it anymore don't worry put your minds
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: at rest so anyway I guess so my point was
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: where was I oh yeah you're all going to suffer
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I am going to dedicate the... Oh, wait a second. No,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: wait a second. We're talking about that. Hold on. Yes,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: so I've managed to avoid talking to anybody. So we're
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: just going to see how it goes in this stream.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I haven't been talking all day, other than the usual
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: muttering to myself, as is my custom. But that didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: make my mouth hurt too much. It's already starting to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: hurt from the talking. So I guess... Avoiding talking to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: people today didn't help that much, but we'll see how
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: it goes. We did like an hour last night. Maybe
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: we'll get that far tonight. I don't know. I don't know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: We got other business, though, at hand for this channel.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you about it right now. So, Rumble,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: everybody's aware, everybody knows that I've been begging constantly for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: people to be unique chatter so I can stay in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the Rumble Creator Program. And guess what? I got an
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: email today. Rumble creator program over. So the good news
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: is no more begging for unique chatters. Now, I'll beg
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: for money. So the begging isn't gone. The begging's staying.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: In fact, I think it's going to get even worse.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Please give me your money. I was thinking about your
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: money and how you didn't give it to me. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it made me so sad. Stuff like that. Incessantly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: No.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. No more begging at all. So they've
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: replaced it with something called the Rumble Partner Program, which
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is invite only, but you have to apply to see
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: if you can get invited. As far as I can tell,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: even if I get into it, it's going to have
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: no benefit. It's going to be nothing. I will not
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: make any more money from it. It raises revenue from
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: ads from like 60% to 90%. So I guess I'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: go from like $ 3 to like $ 4. 5 or something. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. But the Rumble Creator program is over.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And I am glad, actually. It's a relief to me
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: now at this point. Because it was not about the money.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It was like $ 120 or $ 150 or something in a month.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Not life-changing money. It was the principle. It was a principle,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and I can still make money from Rumble Rants and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Rumble Wallet and from memberships. Memberships is really the best
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: one because I basically keep all of that, if anybody
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: wants to do that. Please. Yeah, so there's that. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to lose out on probably $ 150 a month.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: There's $ 120, $ 100, something like that a month. But it
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: was never about that. It was just a matter of
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: principle for me. It's just like, well, here's this thing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'll be able to do it, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: let's try. And we did. And we did it every
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: month once they upped the metrics. And we did it
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: every month for the, what, 20 months or something? Then
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: it was up. And now it's over. And I'm thankful
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to Rumble for that opportunity. It was good. I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: it made the channel better. But it's a relief because, again,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: it wasn't about money. It wasn't about changing my life financially.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It was just I just wanted to be in it
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: just because, because it was there. So now I can
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: kind of just chill a little bit. The reason that
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: we started doing six nights a week is because I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: needed to do that to stay in the creator program,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: especially if there's days, you know, there's always going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: be days I have to miss. It's just me. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: don't have a team. It's just me. Right. So there's
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: going to be times that I have to miss dreams
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: like these dental issues I've had recently. Right. Like I just,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: like if your mouth is in pain is torn up
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and stuff and, uh, You know, I mean, it's kind
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of important for talking, your mouth. So now I can
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just kind of relax a little bit. And I'm thinking
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that we are going to go from six nights a week,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: which is too much, to five nights a week. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I think that's pretty good. And I'm just trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: decide whether we want to go Monday to Friday or
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Sunday to Thursday. But yeah, six nights a week was
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: too much. And even with the days missed, I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I missed a fair amount of time this month for me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: But still, by the end of Friday's stream, if you
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: average out, it'll be like 45 hours of streaming. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: usually I'm over 50, but even that, it'll be, I think, over.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: If you average it out daily over the course of
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: a month, it's over an hour and a half of
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: streaming every single night. Even though I don't stream every night.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I've been having one night off a week, right? At least,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: you know, officially.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But if you had averaged it out over a month,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: it'd be an hour and a half, over an hour
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and a half of streaming every night, which is still
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: a lot. It's a hell of a lot. So now
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that I don't have to worry about these metrics and
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: for the new program, the part, if I get accepted,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I have no idea if I will. I don't think
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: it makes much difference if I do frankly, any really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: but if I do, and I hope to get into
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: it because why not? Maybe the channel blows up or something,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: who knows? And it really benefits me, but Uh, where
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: was I going with this? I'll say something about, I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: going to make everybody suffer. I'm going to dedicate every
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: waking moment. No, wait a second.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: So we're talking about the, yeah, the new program. So anyway,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the point being I'm actually relieved when I saw it,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I was relieved because now I can just kind of
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: take a step back. I don't have to worry about metrics.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: There's no metrics for the new program. It doesn't matter.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: The only thing is you have to publish 10 things
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: in the last 30 days on like a rolling calendar.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So I do that anyway, right? So easily do that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the kind of the pressure, the mental pressure
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I put on myself is now off. I've got an
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: excuse to take the pressure off myself and I think
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: do five nights a week, which is a lot. That's
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: a lot. That's as much as, you know, dingbat on
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: fucking CNN does. Or CBC. That's like as much as
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Rosemary Barton does. So fuck it. That's what I say.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So that's a relief to me. And I can chill.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I can chill now. So yeah, I just got to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: decide whether I want to do Monday to Friday or
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Sunday to Thursday. I think I'm leaning to Sunday to Thursday.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: What are you guys talking about? Before we get to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the news or the menu, let's just do a bit
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: more chat. Well, actually, no, we'll take a look at
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the menu first. I don't have much set up because
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I was expecting to probably not do a long stream
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: because of the dental issues that I'm dealing with right now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: which includes bone sticking out through my fucking gum that
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: they had to file down because it was razor sharp.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: and cut right through my fucking gum after they extracted
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: my tooth, after everything healed up. And then I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I'm in the clear. I think, good, okay, that really sucked,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: but I'm really glad they took the sutures out. Everything's great.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, oh, no, there's fucking razor-sharp
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: pieces of fucking bone there at the socket where they
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: took the tooth out, and it just cuts right through
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: my gums, and then lacerates the shit out of my tongue.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And then they got to file the whole fucking thing
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: down and it hurts like hell. Do I blame all
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: of you? Yes. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. I
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: blame the world. All right. Now, where was I going? Uh, yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: So we're not going to do a super long stream today.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I will go as long as I can. It might,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I get, I avoided talking all day to not aggravate it,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: but since I've been talking now for 12 minutes or
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: actually seven, cause we started about five minutes.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: About seven minutes. It's already hurting. So I don't think
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: it's going to be very long. So what are we
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: talking about? We're going to talk about this fucking EU
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Canada summit thing. What a disaster. What a clown car
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: this whole thing is. Good Lord. We'll get into that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: We got some Elon Musk stuff here. The left just
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: hates him. The left just hates productive people, right? I
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: think that's just clear at this point. They just hate
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: anybody productive. It really is just an ideology of resentment
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: and envy. Liberal spending. Mark Carney's wasting Canadians' money again, again, again.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And boondoggles, boondoggles. Canada immigration. I hope we get to
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: this one. It's just a never-ending nightmare. And now there's
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: a big media push to tell Canadians, you know, some
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: fucking Leger poll. Assuring Canadians that actually, actually Canadians' attitudes
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: on immigration have changed. It's like increasingly supportive of it. Oh,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: fuck off, government-funded poll. Elon Omar. President Trump actually posted this.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: We'll have to take a look at that. Oh, Trump,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to miss you when you're gone, buddy.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Legendary Star Trek and X-Men actor Sir Patrick Stewart has
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: died in 86. I'm very sad about this. This is
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a tragic death for Gen Xers. We loved Picard. He
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: was fucking awesome as that. He was also great in
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the X-Men movies as well. Very, very sad to see this.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Of course, he was an entertainment lefty. Of course, he was.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: But who cares? He was great. All right. All right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: As everybody knows, we're streaming on Rumble, on Kik, on Odyssey,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: on Exxon, on Locals. Not on YouTube, because they're censorious
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: bastards there. Because it's run by, I don't know, who
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: runs it? Is it like Stalin's great-grandson or something? I
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: don't fucking know. I have nothing but problems with YouTube.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: So we do an hour on Friday nights right now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: And that seems to be about the most I can
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: get away with. And even then, I can't really get
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: away with it because they just demonetize anything that I
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: put up. But in any case, we're not streaming with
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: them because they're scum. That's why. Because they're scum. But
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: everybody knows that we are streaming on Rumble, Kik, Odyssey, X,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and Locals. And when you like the stream, you get
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: good karma. When you're early, you get extra good karma.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: So easy like number one. And you know what? For asking,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: for being so thoughtful... And asking about how my mouth
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: was doing. With the fucking jawbone sticking through the fucking gums.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Why me? Why is this happening to me? Nothing but
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: woe here. Nothing but woe. Sadness, woe, human frailty. At
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Radio Bologna headquarters. Am I angry at the universe? I am.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Sure I am. All right. But I am very weak
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: of a spirit. So there's that. Let's see. Like number one.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: So there's six right there. Plus an extra one for
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: asking how my mouth is doing. Thank you so much.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Thank you for being so thoughtful. Somebody cares. Spam bot
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: says second. That's a five. A good karma's says Rosie
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: will be late. She's Oh God. Oh, poor Rose upgrading
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: her computer. Oh no. I hope she's okay. Somebody needs
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to check on her later on. I hope she's going
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to be okay. Let's see. Izzy says, damn it, Rosie.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: That's an extra good karma right there. That's eight in total.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Let's see. Why is it dead? There's no dead air.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: What the frick? What the hell? What's going on? Everything's good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Everything's all right. Let's see. Spamut says she's building a
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: new PC with a shiny new GeForce RTX GPU. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: don't even know what that means. Let's see. Nevada got
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: number three. That's a four good commas for Nevada. All right.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: All right. Izzy says, yeah, that's why mouth pain sucks.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It really does. But the thing is that's crazy is
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: that it doesn't hurt unless I'm eating and then it
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: really hurts or talking and then it becomes gradually more
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: painful the more that I talk. I hope it's not
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: getting infected or something. I don't know. I've been doing
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: like rinsing with salt water once a day and then
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: they gave me this medicated mouthwash. I'm doing that every
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: night too. I don't know what's going on. Izzy says, oh,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Amazon couches sound like fun. You should order your sex
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: robot for them. They don't have them yet. Not the
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: kind that I want. Not the kind that I want.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I want like a... They didn't have sex robots in
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Star Trek, but if they did, that's the kind that
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I want. Only sluttier. Why do I have a channel?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Why do I have a channel again? I don't even
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: know why. I retort asked, do you want me to
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: come over and pre-chew your food? Yes. Get here right now.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: What a disgusting chat. What a disgusting chat. You should
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: be ashamed of yourself. No, thank you, sir. I will
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: bid you good day. Let's see. Spambot says, will the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: begging restart on Monday? Well, the I get the rumble
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: creator programs over. So it, it's a weird thing. I
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: love rumble and I'm very grateful for, you know, everything,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: all the tools they give us here and everything in
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the rumble creator program, but they have a habit of
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: just informing you of massive changes, like two days before
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: it's going into effect. It was the same thing with the, um,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: changes to the metrics for the creator program. Uh, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: ending of it, the announcement is like, just came today.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Like it was, what is the last day of the month? Sunday.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Or Saturday? So I have a habit of doing this.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: So anyway, unique chatters don't matter anymore. And here's the thing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I've been going on now for months about how unique
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: chatters are the best kind of person that there is.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Praising unique chatters. And calling them the salt of the
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: earth of the pillars of Western civilization. But you know what?
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Inside?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Inside? I actually despised unique chatters the whole time. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: hated them the whole time. And now I can say
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: it because I don't need you anymore. That's not true.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: You are all, all so precious to me. Spambot needs
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: money for a new furnace. Replacing the thermocouple did not
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: fix it. Well, don't bother getting a rumble channel. That
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: ain't going to help. Let's see. All right, what's going on? No,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: it counts for this month. So this month is the
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: last month. And now the Rumble Partner Program starts next month. Which,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've applied to. Will I get in or not?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. There's really no details. So you apply
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and they tell you whether you get in or not.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: And there doesn't seem to be any, there's no description
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: of metrics or anything that you need. So I don't know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: maybe I'll get in. If I do, I'm really happy.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: If I don't, I'm going to keep doing the show. Again,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: it's not like it's life-changing money. I'm not doing it
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: for the money. But yeah, so this month, no, it
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: was worth it for this month. And then there's no
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: need to do it after this month. Izzy says, sounds
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: like you'd get better returns running an AI channel. I would,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: but it wouldn't be fun anymore. I'm certain I would.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Absolutely certain I would with an AI channel. I think
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: they're favorite on YouTube, for one thing. I'm not sure
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: about on Rumble, but I'm sure to attract AI viewers. Yeah, bots, probably.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Nobody on Rumble does Saturday evening shows, but that's boxing night.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: So that's what I watch my boxing stories. Let's see.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: As he says, it's a curse from the cadaver bone
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: they put in. I knew it. I knew it. There's Rosie. Hello, Richie.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Happy Thursday. You sound so cheerful. I'm not. I'm not happy.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not happy at all. I'm suffering right now. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: as you guys know, I cannot tolerate even the slightest
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: bit of discomfort. But I'm trying to put on a
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: brave face for all of you for this incredible human
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: suffering that I'm dealing with because of the dentist. I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: a weak, weak man. We were so worried about you, Rosie. Somebody,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know who it was, I think it was Spambop,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: said that you were upgrading. We were worried you were
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: upgrading software. So we were very worried. So we're glad
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: to see you in the chat. Oh, my face is hurting.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: What are we, 22 minutes in? We haven't even done
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: a story. All right. I'm going to keep powering through.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't take any pain meds, though. I didn't take
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: any Advil or Conal. Because I don't really like taking them.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I just want to, you know. But maybe I should have.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Let's see. JJ Nevada says, was never into Star Trek. Well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I was. Let's see. And I loved Jean-Luc Picard. And
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: it's very sad news today. Izzy says commies, commies run YouTube.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Commies run YouTube. They do. All right. Rosie says, Richie,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: thank you so much. You zoomed in enough for me
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: to see the pretty gold earrings. Funnily, I never noticed them.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Wait a second. What's going on with this?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Hold on. There we go. That's better. There we go. Yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I'd never noticed them before, to be honest. I'd never
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: noticed them. Let's see. Izzy says Amazon will sell sex
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: box with real boners. I don't know why we needed
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: to know that, Izzy. Spambot says the only place you
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: could safely order a sex bot will be when the
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: dollhouse gets Grok AI integrated Grok AI integrated and we
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: are all waiting anxiously for that moment I'm not saying
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that Izzy come on maybe this is payback for kicking Mr.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Snacks it is a blessing Rosie, it is a blessing.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Rosie says, damn it, Richie. You got a free good
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: karma for that. In fact, damn it, Richie, is worth
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: two good karmas. That's the new rule on the show.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Now we see the whole boating instructor again. Just focus
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: on the earrings. Let's see. So the I'm glad they
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: changed the. create a program because now I don't have
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: to do six days a week anymore. Six nights a week.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do five now. It's just whether we
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: do Sunday to Thursday or Monday to Friday. Now I'll
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: do five nights a week, six nights a week was
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: too much. And I know that, you know, there's been some,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: some breaks. I've had to miss some days recently, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: mostly I did do six days a week and it
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: was burning me out to be honest. So five nights
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: a week, I will enjoy the show more. And then
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: you guys will enjoy it more. Although maybe I won't
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: do my bitter, resentful rants as often, which I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: you guys actually do enjoy. All right. But anyway, it
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: takes the load off and it takes the stress away.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: And I could just have a more lighthearted show now
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: without having to worry about how many hours and all
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: the metrics and stuff. Now we just do our own thing.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's take a look at this clown card
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: that is Mark Carney trying to get Canada as an
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: associate member or some sort of alliance with the EU.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: It keeps changing. Beautiful Canada posted this. It says, Mark
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Carney and Ursula von der Leyen both speak at a
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: business roundtable at the EU Canada Summit in Montreal. Mark
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Carney reiterates that Canada... Mark Carney reiterates... That his government
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: is working towards making Canada an associate member. Well, the
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: problem is that the biggest EU members, the biggest economies
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: in the EU, France and Germany, don't want that. They
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: say no to that. Not interested. They don't want to
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: be seen with us in public. But he's just going
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: with it. Let's take a look.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: We're here because we share a common mission. We're in
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the process of forging a new alliance, an alliance for
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the future with Canada as an associate member between Canada
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and the European Union. And it's one that's anchored in values.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Why does he keep saying associate? Why is he saying
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: associate membership? France and Germany have already said nine and none.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: They say, no, they don't want that. Again, they're just
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: not that into you, Mark Carney.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: But builds on our complementary strengths. And really, you look
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: around this table and who you represent, the complement.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Complementary strengths? Well, between the Carney government and French governments?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Complementary strengths between the Canadian government and European governments? Like debt,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I guess? Like massive, massive debt and bureaucracy and dysfunction?
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Increasing censorship, stuff like that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Country strengths between the European Union and Canada across a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: range of domains. And if I commend President von der
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Leyen's speech of a few hours ago, which laid this
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: out in in expert, expert detail with some good poetry
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and allusions, if I might add. But from AI to finance,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: critical minerals, food security, advanced manufacturing and beyond. And in
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the end for you.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It just throws all this out there. But what does
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: any of it actually mean? Here are Canada's exporter. Here
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: are the countries that Canada exports to. United States, 73%.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: United Kingdom, 6.1%. They're not even in the EU anymore. China, 4.5%. Japan, 1.9%.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Here's France, 0.65%. I don't think that Germany is even
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: in here. Where the hell is Germany? Germany. It's not
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: even in there. Those are the two biggest markets in Europe, right?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: So when he's talking about all this collaboration and all
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: these things, well, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: is not going to replace the 73% from the United States.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: It's not going to replace, it's not going to replace
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: 10% of trade with the United States. Like, uh, all
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: of our trade with the entire EU, so if you
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: take France and Spain and all the different countries, it's
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: about 5% of our trade. They're not going to double that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: They're not. And even if they did, it just wouldn't matter.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Not when you have 401 billion exports to the United States,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: as opposed to, I mean, there's 3.6 billion from France. No,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: it's not going to make any difference. Diversifying is great,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: but Don't live in a fantasy world where you can
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: ignore or you can antagonize your largest trading partner, the
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: country that buys three-quarters of the stuff you sell. It
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter if it goes down to 70% or 68%.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Geography matters, people. Canada's future is tied with the United
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: States economy, whether we like it or not.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Not in the end, but at the same time for
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: our youth, a chance to live, work, study more easily.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: This is the real thing. That's a couple of little
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: things here. So chance for young people to go and
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: live and study and work in Europe. Really? Is that
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: really worth getting tied up with this crumbling edifice, taking
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: on a bunch of EU regulations, as we've seen in
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: the leaked document regarding this proposed associate membership. Yeah. Europe
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't do anything for free. They want control and they
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: want their hand in your pocket. You've got to pay out.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: If you want to hang out with them, what, what
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: are we really getting out of it? Other than young
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: people could go and work and, and study in Europe,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: which they can do now already. And they often do.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: That's what he's using to sell this. It's, It's a
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: big scam. It's a big fraud. It's a big charade,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: like everything from this guy. He's not telling us what
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: his real goals are, why he really wants to do this.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling it has something to do with
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: net zero finance, which his future is very tied in with,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: by the way. Dead Knight posted this. So here is
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Pierre Polyev. asking, well, an obvious question here. Is this
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: just another Seinfeld summit? Well, let's take a look. This
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: is really where Pierre Polyev thrives, either this or addressing down.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Reporters, when Canadians don't have the means to pay for
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: food or to pay for housing, the prime minister tried
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: to distract their attention with his big project to become
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: an associate member of the European Union. Nobody knows what
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: that means. And the Europeans have rejected that idea yesterday.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: We already have a free trade agreement with Europe. It's
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: just that nine countries haven't ratified it. Can the Prime
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Minister promise to make sure that they ratify the agreement,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: or is this just more smoke and mirrors? The Honourable
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: Government House Leader, Mr. Speaker, we are very happy to
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: have many of my colleagues and the Prime Minister in
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: Montreal today for a huge meeting with the European Union authorities.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: We are going to be looking at a number of
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: ways that we can collaborate beyond free trade. as we
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: already have negotiated free trade as a government.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: So France and Germany, they just outright reject associate membership,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: whatever that means. They're refusing to exempt Canada from their
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: CBAM carbon tariffs. So when Mark Carney told us that, well,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: we have to do carbon capture and carbon credits and
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: carbon taxes in Canada, otherwise, you know.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, the EU, for instance, won't want to trade with us.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: It'll make us more competitive because nobody will want to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: buy our energy or our products unless they're net zero. Well,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: apparently all for naught. Apparently all for naught, for nothing.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. So I guess anything going in from
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the States will have this CBAM, but also anything from Canada.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: So Every other country, which isn't doing this, which is
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: all the other countries, right, that are going to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: exporting anything to the EU, have the advantage. They have
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the advantage. They have the competitive advantage. That competitive advantage
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Mark Carney kept telling us about, which never made any
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: sense because I don't see how making your products more
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: expensive makes you more competitive. Yeah. It's all just total madness.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: None of this makes any damn sense. Let's go on
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: a little bit further here. Hold on. Let's get back
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: to Pierre. Are they still speaking French?
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Can you get anything real, Donna?
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Let's get to the English. Oh, who is that? Is that? Oh,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that's him. All right. Yeah, we don't want him anymore.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Here we go. Hold on. The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: The Prime Minister has tried to distract Canadians from crazy
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: housing and food costs for the last two months with
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: his big project of Canada becoming an associate member of
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: the EU. Nobody knows what it means and the Europeans
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: have now rejected it. We already have a free trade
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: agreement with Europe.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: It's just that nine of its countries refuse to ratify
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: that agreement. Will the prime minister actually get anything real
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: done at this big grand summit? Get those countries to
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: ratify the deal, let in our beef, or is this
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: just another Seinfeld summit, a meeting about nothing?
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Seinfeld summit, a meeting about nothing.
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not about nothing. It's about, from Mark Carney's incentives,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: are in promoting net zero finance, right? That obviously Brookfield
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: is very, very invested in. It's a world leader in
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: that or the world leader in that stuff. And it
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: needs tax dollars to function, to be profitable because none
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: of this stuff, carbon capture doesn't actually produce anything. It
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: doesn't create profit. It's just cost, which is why it
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: needs to be subsidized by Canadians. but you have to ask,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, already France and Germany, the two largest economies
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: in Europe, that they are really the EU. They're the
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: leaders of the EU. All right. They've just outright rejected
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: associate membership for Canada. Uh, we are not, they're refusing
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: to exempt Canada from their CBAM carbon tariffs, even though,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: even though, uh, Canada has wasted countless billions on these
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: net-zero boondoggles and the carbon capture and now there's the
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: carbon credits and all the carbon taxes on Canadian industry
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: that apparently we had to do otherwise we wouldn't be competitive. Well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: apparently all for naught, huh? Apparently all for nothing. It's
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: almost like Carney was just making things up again.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: So.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: U.S., which isn't doing any of these climate net zero boondoggles.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: And Canada, which has wasted, again, countless billions now on
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: all this stuff. Same tariffs from the EU. This is
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: all going so well. Let's move on. Hold on. What
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: do we have here? Beautiful Canada. So this is from
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: the EU Canada meeting in Montreal from the summit in
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Montreal let's take a look.
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: On Canada EU you've said that the words the semantics
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: don't matter but we know that some European states believe
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: it does matter the words so I wonder how you
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: feel about Madame von der Leyen even today saying your
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: mutual goal is associate membership in the EU.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: The I think the look there are they don't matter
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: From our perspective, the nomenclature doesn't matter. What matters to
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Canadians ultimately from this new alliance is going to be affordability.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It's going to be opportunity.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Affordability and opportunity.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: How?
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: What?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: So is this that Canadians can go and study and
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: work in Europe? Because they already do that. Yeah. I
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: don't understand what we're getting. He won't just say what
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: we're actually getting, like a concrete benefit. This thing will
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: make everybody's life better. This consequential thing will make everybody's
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: life better.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Opportunity for young Canadians to live, travel, study. Opportunities for
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: our researchers to plug into one of the most advanced
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: research network across a wide range of domains, opportunities, greater.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: So there's been no research cooperation between Canada and Europe.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I find that rather hard to believe.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Opportunities for our companies, cultural opportunities for Canadians.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: And cultural opportunities. What traveling to Europe? Because what else
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: can that possibly mean? Canadians can already do that.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: At the, base of this, and this is why we began,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I began at least with.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: All right, at the base of it. He's got to
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: give us something real here. Let's listen.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: The national security strategy. This new alliance is not a
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: marketing exercise. The name doesn't matter. What matters is that
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the complementarities of our two jurisdictions strengthen our sovereignty.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: The complementarities Let's hear that again.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Of our two... The name doesn't matter. What matters is
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: that the complementarities of our two.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Complementarities. The complementarities. All right, continue.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Jurisdictions strengthen our sovereignty.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: The complementarities of our jurisdictions... strengthens our sovereignty. Are you
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: starting to figure out yet? Well, I know you guys are.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I think Canadians need to start figuring out that these
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: are just empty words. This means nothing. All right, this
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: is just a charade. He is not telling us why
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: he really wants this. I believe it has to do
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: with net zero finance, which has been Mark Carney's obsession for, what,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: a decade and a half now. in which he personally,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: his own future is very personally tied to it, his
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: financial future. The complementarities of our jurisdictions strengthen our sovereignty,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: taking on a bunch of EU regulations and having them
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: reach into our pocket for cash strengthens our... How does
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: that strengthen our sovereignty? It seems like it weakens it.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: How does handing power over to this foreign bloc Make
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: us more sovereign. Obviously, that's an inversion of reality.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Strengthens Europe's sovereignty, various strategic autonomies, critical minerals, energy, other aspects, AI.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: The partnership here is a classic.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Look, we already have a trade deal. We have a
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: free trade deal. By the way, as Pierre Pauly has noted,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: nine countries still haven't even ratified that. So is this
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: really about trade? Is this about critical minerals? I'm not
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: so sure.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Take example of that. You see it in the partnership
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: between with Cohere, with Germany, and then more broadly. And
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: similar complementarities for Canada. And why does sovereignty matter in
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a dangerous and divided world?
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: He said it. Everybody take a shot. He said, dangerous
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: and divided world. Why does sovereignty matter? So he's just described, actually,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: the opposite of sovereignty, of strengthening your sovereignty. And now
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: he's going to explain to us why that matters.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Allows us to withstand shocks. It means that we're not
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: held up by some country or some technology.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Held up by some country? You mean like carbon tariffs?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: You mean like the Europe CBAM tariffs? Carbon tariffs, which
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: they refuse to exempt us from? Like, hold on a second.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Just wait one second. You know, like, you've made quite
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: a big deal. You've said that our relationship will never
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: be the same again with the United States over tariffs.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: You've said we're at war over tariffs.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: It's almost like Carney, it's almost like everything that Carney
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: says is a lie.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Company that wants to dictate how we're going to live
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: our lives. It allows us to live our lives as
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: we choose. And as I said at the start, in
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the greatest country in the world.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, except for those EU regulations that they're
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: going to force on us. Aside from that, we could
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: live as we choose. Unless, you know, unless Europe tells
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: us that we can't.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: The world and all the diversity that that brings.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, and you got diversity in there too. Take another shot.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: This is all madness. This is a clown car. All right.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: The Canadian government is just a circus at this point.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Stephanie Cusey posted this. Member of Parliament. What does she
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: have to say about all of this? All this pomp
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: and circumstance. Let's take a look.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: The Prime Minister has tried to distract Canadians for months
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: with the lure of associate membership in the EU. A
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: membership that they themselves have rejected. Meanwhile, Canadians continue to suffer,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and Canadians have been put at risk of further taxation,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: crippling regulation at a time where we need revenue, and
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: unknown immigration impacts. And now Canadians are faced with another
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: distraction for the next two days of more meaningless agreements. Meanwhile,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: they go to food banks and struggle to pay their mortgages.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: The truth is, We have a free trade deal with Europe.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: What we need is the Prime Minister to get the
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: other nine nations to ratify the agreement. He needs to
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: get our beef and pork to Europe, and he needs
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: to eliminate the risk of more carbon tariffs. This is
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: another distraction and another failure of the Prime Minister.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Well... Yeah, it's certainly a distraction, but this is something
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: that Carney clearly has had in the cards for, I think,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: since before he became prime minister. It may be the
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: reason that he wanted to be prime minister in the
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: first place. We all remember, I was making videos about,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: I was talking about it shortly after he became PM,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: that all of a sudden we started seeing these polls,
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: like 90% of polls in Canada are government funded, I believe.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: We started seeing these polls about how much Canadians wanted
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: to join the EU just kind of out of nowhere,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: which I thought was very odd. I think he's clearly,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: clearly been planning this all along since before he became
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: prime minister. Mark Nixon, Canada is cooked. It's getting worse
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: and worse every day. Just the fiscal situation is getting
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: worse and worse every day. that Mark Carney stays in office.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: And don't take my word for it. You can listen
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Our partnership with Europe is.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Based on three pillars.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Number one, outlets. The EU is the second largest.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Economy with over 450 million consumers.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: And declining fast, by the way.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Who is already our second largest trade partner with.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Trade that achieved about $ 180 billion.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: That's about 5%, what, 6%?
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: At the high range, 6% of our exports.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: So.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck turning that into, you know, 50% of
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: our exports. It's not going to happen.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: With new alliances, we will open up new markets to
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Canadian companies.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: We already have a free trade deal with the EU.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: We will create new collaborations for our researchers. And we
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: will offer young people new opportunities to live, work, and study.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: This is the best that he's got these days. these
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: trivial little baubles that he throws out, new opportunities for researchers.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: What the hell does that mean? New opportunities for young
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: people to travel to Europe. They can already do that.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it shows you the low state of Canadian politics,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: that this is what passes. This is fine. And by
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: the way, the Canadian media will be just fine with
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: all this. They'll be curiously incurious once again.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: On both sides of the Atlantic.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Excusez-moi.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: Number two is affordability. Together, we will give families more
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: choices at a lower cost.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: How? He just literally pulled that out of his ass.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: These opportunities range from finance to education. And number three, sovereignty.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: We have complementary strengths. Europe stands out for its strong,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: powerful market. and industrial strength.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: It's a crumbling edifice. The most powerful economies in Europe
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: are going off a fiscal cliff faster than Canada is actually,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: or at least just as fast. They're falling apart. Germany's
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: de-industrializing itself. This is not the path to the shiny,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: bright economic future. This is joining ourselves with the losers,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: with powers in decline for some reason.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: Canada counts on talent and world-class research capabilities, as well
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: as abundant energy and mineral resources.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: We share the same values.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Which is why we imported 2 million Uber drivers.
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: Based on values, 100% based on value. Well, that's his
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: book values, Mark Carney's book values. Um, but speaking of values,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: like what are European values? Let's take a look. Let's see.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Germany sees record number of criminal insults against politicians. I
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: think this is the kind of collaboration Mark Carney sees
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: in Canada's future, right? Adopting some of these draconian authoritarian
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: laws that they have in Europe to crush dissent. Uh,
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Let's see. According to official statistics, in 2025, there were 4,792
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: investigations against people who had denigrated politicians in breach of
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: the German Criminal Code. Denigrated. I mean, literally just insulted.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Not even vulgar. According to Article 188 of the German
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Criminal Code, anybody who insults a politician in a way
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Anyone who insults a politician in a way which, quote,
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: is likely to significantly impede their public activities can be
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: imprisoned for up to three years or be fined. The
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: clause expressly includes local politicians, so significantly impede their public activities.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: What kind of horrible things are people doing to get arrested?
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Let's see. One of the most notorious cases was the
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: so-called Moron Affair. In 2024, Bavarians pensioner Stefan Niehoff shared
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: a meme on X that insinuated that then-German Vice Chancellor
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Robert Habeck was a moron. After a state reporting body
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: had registered the post and forwarded it to the police, again,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: state reporting body, They say that the AFD are far right,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: by the way. Is the AFD going to have a
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: state reporting body to report people for insulting political leaders?
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Officers raided this pensioner's and Niehoff's house
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: where he lived with his wife and handicapped daughter in
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: the early morning hours of November 12th, 2024, confiscating the
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: tablet for calling a politician a moron. These are European values.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Niehoff was later fined 1,350 euros for his post. He
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: appealed the sentence in January 2026. He died at the
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: age of 65 years. The appeal has not been decided
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: on yet, so they hounded this man to his death.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: These were his final years, being hounded by the state
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: for calling a politician a moron. Now, his case is
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: far from the only one. In another notorious affair in
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: February 2026, police in Heilbronn launched an investigation against a
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: pensioner for supposedly calling current German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Pinocchio. Pinocchio,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: this is the kind of denigration that can get you
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: arrested in Germany. I think this is the kind of
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: cooperation that Mark Carney wants. I think he wants to
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: get Canadian laws in line with laws like these German ones.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: I think Mark Carney would love this. He'd be drooling
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: at the prospect of having his critics hauled in front
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: of a judge. EU court finds Hungary 200 million euros
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: over its asylum policy. The European Union's top court has
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: fined Hungary 200 million euros for failing to follow the
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: union's asylum policies. The court will also issue a penalty
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: of one million a day until it changes its policy.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: This was back in 2024. Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: so this is before the latest election there, in a
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: post on X said the fine for defending the borders
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: of the European Union was was outrageous and unacceptable and
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: said it seems that illegal migrants are more important to
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: the Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens. So is
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: this what Mark Carney talks about when he says that
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Canada is the most European of the non-European countries? He
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: wants Canada to be more like this, not like Hungary,
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: not like Hungary. He wants it to be more like
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: the people, let's see, fighting Hungary for protecting its own
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: borders and the people arresting people for calling politicians names
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: on X. Names like Moron and Pinocchio. I am not enthusiastic.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Let's see. Bruce McGonigal, Breaking News. European Commission President Ursula
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: von der Leyen says Canada can work towards being an
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: associate member of the EU if we give up our
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: sovereignty and independence. Well, let's see if she actually says that.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched this clip yet, but let's take a look.
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: We can build a partnership that comes closer to membership
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: than anything we've done before. So how do we get there? First,
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: it means close alignment on policies. We can work on everything.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Close alignment on policies. This means EU regulations and EU laws,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: which again does not feel like increasing our sovereignty. It
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: feels like the opposite.
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: From AI and climate to energy and security, you just
• 52:45
  Speaker 10: name it. Second, it means close alignment on governance. It
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: means more work shared by the European Commission and the
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: Canadian So, all of a.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Sudden, governing Canada is going to be the European Commission
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: and the Canadian government. Where it used to be just
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: the Canadian government, but in this bright future, this bright
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: technocratic future for Canada, it'll be the European Commission that
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: will be working with the Canadian government to govern Canada. Again...
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Every time that Mark Carney says anything about sovereignty, it
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: is an inversion of reality. And he just assumes that
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: you're too stupid to figure it out.
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: Indian government, for example. The cooperation could also entail parliament
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: to parliament, between our two parliaments, and court to court.
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: And third, this means closer.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: So now our courts are going to... Seriously, this does
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: not sound like more sovereignty to me.
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: Alignment on each other programs.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Madam President. We can build an alignment on progress. Okay,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: this is not elbows up, to put it in terms
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: that maybe a liberal voter can understand. This doesn't sound
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: like we'll never give up our sovereignty. This sounds like
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Mark Carney's very eager to give up our sovereignty. Wow.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: What a disaster. Uh, Canada facing carbon tariff threat from
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: European union internal documents. It's almost like they're not just
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: doing it to be friendly. It's almost like they want
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: something from Canada.
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Wow. All right. My face is starting to hurt quite
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: a bit. I'll try and go a bit longer. Uh, uh,
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: Here's a short from Jasmine Lane discussing her theory. Well,
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: let me give you my theory. Let me give you
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: a theory that I have regarding what Europe's motivations might be.
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: I think it is that they want to use Canada
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: as a bargaining chip against the United States to secure
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: a better deal for themselves. And the fact that France
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: and Germany have already come out and said they are
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: opposed to associate membership. They don't seem pleased at all.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Makes me wonder, and this is speculation, if they've already
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: started to work something out or already started negotiations with
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: the United States to get a better deal by opposing
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Canada having anything to do with the EU. That's speculation,
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: but obviously all of this is going to make the
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: United States very unhappy. Because this starts to become a
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: national security concern already. If Canada wasn't already enough because
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: of Chinese steel dumping and our apparently completely open borders,
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: where anybody could just fly in and then try and
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: get into the states through the northern border. And then,
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: of course, Chinese infiltration of the Canadian government. Chinese infiltration
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: of Canada on every single level. uh, you know, IRGC acting,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: acting freely in Canada. Uh, but then this whole thing
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: with joining the EU, uh, geopolitically, that's just, you have
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: to assume that's a no go for the United States, right?
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: This is completely in a contradiction to the, uh, you know,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: the Donro doctrine, the, the Trump, this is incomplete, um,
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: contradiction of the Trump national security strategy, which they're calling
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: the Monroe Doctrine, but done, which is North America, the
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Western Hemisphere, that's America's turf, and they're reasserting that. So
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: this doesn't go along with that. So the United States
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: was never going to certainly let Canada join the EU,
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: and they would do that by threatening Europe, threatening Europe
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: with withdrawing defense, pulling back their bases, taking their bases
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: out of Europe, that sort of thing. They have plenty
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: of leverage, especially when there's a war between Ukraine and
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Russia happening right now. So my thoughts are that EU
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: just saw this as an opportunity to use Canada as
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: a bargaining chip. It's got a better deal with the States.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: That's speculation, but it seems to make sense, doesn't it?
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Because obviously there would be massive, at least behind the scenes,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: opposition to this, any of this happening. Clearly, obviously. There
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: is no question that they would be massively opposed to
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: this for obvious reasons, obvious geopolitical reasons, right? So, you know,
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: if this whole thing looks like a charade, I think
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: that it is. All right. Jasmine Lane's explanation. Let's take
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: a quick look. That's from Izzy. Copy. All right, let's
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: take a look at Izzy's link here. Link monkey!
• 58:16
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 58:26
  Speaker 11: Okay, I have a theory about what's happening to Canada
• 58:28
  Speaker 11: right now. And if I'm right, holy crap. Have you
• 58:33
  Speaker 11: noticed that ever since Mark Carney became prime minister, he
• 58:36
  Speaker 11: has made Europe a major diplomatic priority. And he has
• 58:39
  Speaker 11: been pushing for closer EU integration to diversify away from Trump.
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: But here is where that timing starts to get difficult.
• 58:47
  Speaker 11: a little too interesting. Ursula von der Leyen, she is
• 58:51
  Speaker 11: the current president of the European Commission and she is
• 58:53
  Speaker 11: expected to finish her term in 2029. Guess when Canada's
• 58:58
  Speaker 11: next federal election is scheduled?
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: 2029.
• 59:02
  Speaker 11: So hypothetically, Mark Carney could finish his term as prime
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: minister around the same time that one of the most
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: powerful jobs in Europe becomes available. And who helps choose
• 59:11
  Speaker 11: the next European Commission president? The leaders of European member states,
• 59:16
  Speaker 11: who Mark Carney has been spending all sorts of time
• 59:20
  Speaker 11: with lately and prioritizing above absolutely everything else, even though
• 59:24
  Speaker 11: it makes no sense economically speaking for Canada. And it's
• 59:26
  Speaker 11: also not what Canadian businesses and workers want. want him
• 59:29
  Speaker 11: to do. But here is where my theory runs into
• 59:32
  Speaker 11: a pretty big problem. Carney gave up his Irish citizenship
• 59:35
  Speaker 11: before becoming prime minister for political optics and without citizenship
• 59:39
  Speaker 11: in an.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I just want to interrupt for one second. He
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: said that he did, but Carney is an inveterate liar.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: He's lied about every, he lied about being involved in
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: moving Brookfield's headquarters to New York. He lied about his investments.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: He said all he had was cash and properties. Now
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: he's got millions of dollars in investments, 91% of them
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: in the United States. He will lie about anything. He
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: lied about his phone calls with Trump, about the Gordie
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: Howe Bridge. He lies and lies and lies. So why
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: would anybody be surprised if he lied about giving up
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: his passport? I doubt that he did.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 11: EU member state, he faces a major eligibility obstacle when
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: it comes to replacing and being the successor of Ursula
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 11: von der Leyen. Now, Ursula and Mark Carney are playing
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 11: around with the idea of creating something that has never
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: existed before, which is a brand new category of EU membership.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: the associate membership exclusively for Canada. What's incredibly interesting about
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: this is that there are no existing rules for this
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: category because Mark Carney and Ursula came up with it together,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 11: meaning that its terms will be decided by the two
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 11: of them. Could they possibly include something where it would
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 11: recognize Mark Carney in the same way that it would
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 11: recognize Somebody who's a citizen of an EU member state?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: We don't know yet.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: And let's not forget that this entire EU associate membership
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 11: thing makes zero sense considering the fact that Canada already
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 11: has free trade with the European Union. We've had that
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 11: since 2017 and we already cooperate on security and defense.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 11: What if Canada's entire pivot away from Donald Trump and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 11: towards Europe isn't about Canada at all? It was political
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 11: opportunism for Mark Carney's next job.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 11: I have a theory about what's happening to Canada right now.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, I wouldn't be surprised at all, to
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: be honest, uh, if he ends up replacing Ursula von
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: der Leyen and, uh, he didn't give up his Irish
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: passport and, you know, it'll just never be spoken of
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: again because it's Mark Carney. That wouldn't surprise me in
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: the least. I think it's got a lot to do
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: with Mark Carney recognizing that, um, The European Union is
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity to funnel normal people's money into net
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: zero boondoggles to enrich himself and his friends. Certainly, if
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: he becomes a commissioner of the EU or president of
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: the EU commission, then he's got a much larger budget.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: He's got way, way more money, way, way more power
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: to funnel money into these boondoggles that he has a
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: personal interest in. So, yeah. Let's see. Let's see. Izzy says,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: this is treason. We need a government repair kit. Bronto.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: All right. Screwing our relationship with our greatest trade partner
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: for this nonsense. Word salad is insulting. Izzy says, it is.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: It's all just gibberish. It's meaningless gibberish and platitudes about sovereignty, opportunity,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: without any concrete details on anything that would actually make
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: any difference. All right. Let's do a little... I'm going
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: to have to call this again because my face is
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: hurting again, and I'm just weak. I'm weak. I'm weak. Uh,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll just leave it for tomorrow. Just leave it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: at that. I don't think I can do anymore. Uh,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: I did, I put in like the, you know, I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: put in the old college try, uh, but my face
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: is hurting again and we did get through. I did
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: want really want to do the story about Canada, the EU.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: So I can clip it, but, uh, let's try again
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night. Maybe it'll go a little bit better, but, uh,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: my apologies, everybody. And but let's try it again tomorrow.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: Hopefully everybody will show up. My apologies for a shorter
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: stream again. But at least I showed up. At least
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: I did like an hour right over an hour. Right. Right.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: That's good. That's good. All right. Good night, everybody. I'm
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: out of here.
