Trump Tariffs On Canada Delayed After Border Security Deal · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Speaker 1: So against every expectation, Trudeau actually did the right thing.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: And although there seemed to be a concerted effort amongst
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: leftist politicians of the media in Canada to obscure the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: real reasons for the tariff threats, it had actually been
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: stated pretty clearly. Here's Howard Lutnik from the Trump transition team.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: The president is focused on ending fentanyl coming into the country.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You know that the labs in Canada are run by
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Mexican cartels. So this tariff model is simply to shut
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: their borders with respect. America, if we are your biggest
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: trading partner, show us the respect, shut your border and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: end fetanyl coming into this country. So it is not
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a tariff per se. It is an action of domestic policy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Shut your border and stop allowing fentanyl into our country,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: killing our people. So this is a separate tariff to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: create action from Mexico and action from Canada. And as
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: far as I know, they are acting swiftly and if
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they execute it, there will be no tariff, and if
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: they don't, then there will be. But it's an action
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: oriented model that's not the ordinary tariff. The ordinary tariffs
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: need to be studied and examined. And that will start,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: as the EO said in April.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So first secure the border and then later deal with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the trade issues. And so it turns out it's not
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: just that Trump just likes tariffs. There was a specific
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: issue here that was laid out clearly, and I wonder
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: if this had anything to do with it. Mexico has
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: agreed to deploy ten thousand troops to the US Mexico
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: border in exchange for a one month delay on President
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's threatened tariffs. The message there is that, yeah,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this can't actually be solved, just deal with the border.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And now there is a promise from the Canadian guy
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: government to deal with the Canadian US border, and so
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the tariffs have been delayed for thirty days. This is
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: obviously to see if it's just words or if it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: actually going to be action here from Justin Trudeau, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: implementing our one point three billion border plan, reinforcing the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of fentanyl. Nearly ten thousand frontline personnel are and will
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be working on protecting the border. In addition, Canada is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: making new commitments to appoint a fentanyl zar. We will
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: list cartels as terrorists, ensure twenty four to seven eyes
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on the border, launch a Canada US joint strikeforce to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and we will be backing it with two hundred million.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least thirty days
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: while we work together. And the thirty days is to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: see if it's talk or action. And that's a very
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: very valid concern when you're talking about the Trudeau Liberal Party.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And what did it say In this headline from Brian Lilly,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it says Trudeau gave Trump last minute concessions to avoid tariffs.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The actions Trudeau is promising to Donald Trump now are
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the kind of actions a responsible PM would have already
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: been undertaking for our own sake. And I don't see
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the downside in this. I don't know why this wasn't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: just immediately agreed to, because it's good for Canada just
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: as well as the United States. Reinforcing the border with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: new choppers, technology and personnel enhance coordination with our American partners,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Now I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: hoping that also deals with our ports, because that's where
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: all the precursors are coming into Canada and then in
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Canada being turned into that deadly drugs. Nearly ten thousand
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: frontline personnel are and we'll be working on protecting the border. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: this is all good stuff for Canada. Canada has an
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: addiction and overdose epidemic, and frankly, it's shameful that another
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: country had to tell us to get our shit together.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: How about this A fentanyls are that sounds good. Twenty
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: four to seven eyes on the Border, that sounds good.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: See Canada US Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: fentanyl and money laundering. Canada has a massive foreign money
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: laundering problem as well. So I don't see the downside
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: for Canada here. This all just makes sense. I mean, obviously,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the messaging we've been getting from our government that overdosing
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on fentanyl is just simply a valid lifestyle choice that's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not working. And having a Canada US Joint Strikeforce that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just gives us access to resources that we simply wouldn't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: have without it. This was just a no brainer from
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the start and obviously will be popular in Canada. And
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm shocked that Trudeau actually did this.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I was convinced he was using this and he may
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: have been using it for political gain, an extremely misguided
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: attempt at political scheming, and then maybe when Mexico came
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to an agreement he realized, Yeah, at the end of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the day that negative effects of this, the Liberal Party
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is going to wear and the CBC is just never
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: going to have enough government money to spin it any
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: other way. But again, there's no downside to this. In fact,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it's just what we should have been doing here. From
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Kirk Lubamov, Canada wouldn't be in this position if the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Liberals didn't choose crime and criminals over Canadians. For years,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Conservatives have been calling on Justin Trudeau Liberals to be
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: tough on crime. Police associations called on the Liberals to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be tough on crime. Local politicians called on the Liberals
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to be tough on crime, and millions of Canadians did
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: as well. Seeing their cities destroyed. Liberals saw thousands of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Canadians die from the free flowing drugs and did nothing
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they saw crime stats go through the roof and did nothing.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They saw Canadian cities turn into crime infested zombie zones
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and did nothing. Never forget that they chose to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: this to Canada and Canadians unforgivable. Yeah, and this is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: why I'm surprised that this happened, That they managed to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: come to an agreement to delay the tariffs while they
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: show that they're actually serious about doing any of this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even convinced of that, to be honest.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And let's finish with that, Pierre Paulief. He says, like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Canadians across the country, Conservatives are relieved to hear that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: there will be a one month pause on tariffs from
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the United States that would have hurt workers, families, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: businesses on both sides of the border. But this is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: not a time to sit back. We must urgently work
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to strengthen Canada's economy and do everything we can to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: ensure these tariffs are never brought in. We must recall
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Parliament now and put country first over party so that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we can put Canada first. Yeah. So, I mean we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: dodged a bullet there because Trudeau finally actually did the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: right thing for once, I'm sure against his own instincts.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But this isn't over yet. These changes still need to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be actually competently implemented, and I don't have a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of confidence in that, and why would I or anybody else.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And then we're still going to have the actual trade
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: issues coming up later this year that are going to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have to be skillfully navigated. And what we really need
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is a real government, a functioning government, as opposed to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: what we have now, which is a progued or suspended
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: parliament while the Liberal Party decides which sacrificial lamb they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: going to feed to the Conservatives in the next election.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And what we really need is an actual functioning government,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a functioning parliament, and a prime minister that's right more
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: often than a stopped claw. Anyway, that's all I'm going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to say about that. Please like, share and subscribe. Subscribing
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: really helps me out. I thank you for that. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: will see you next time.
