You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I'm, Stu.
This is your last day.
It is.
It's been great working with you
And wait
No, before vacation you mean
Oh yeah, that's what I meant
Oh yeah
And I got a weird hard for you
After the show
Is that why they were going through my office before
Are they setting me up with some sort of Christmas surprise
Different office for you
Anyway, it's Stu's last day before Christmas
And then he'll come back
You know, before I do
My last day is Friday
So Liz Wheeler, we've upgraded.
We have operated.
Fair.
Massively.
Fair.
Liz Wheeler is going to be filling in for you for the next couple of days, which will be really interesting.
I find her fascinating.
She's great.
Really smart.
By the way, available on Blaze TV.
She's a new Blaze TV host this year, right?
It's this year she started.
I thought you were going to like, I thought it was like a dating service all of a sudden.
By the way, she's available.
And I'm like, what are you doing?
You're the one telling everybody she's an upgrade.
I mean, I don't.
Well, because of you.
Right.
Everybody knew what that meant.
Yes, I know.
All right.
Yesterday, we were kind of having this argument, I think, off air of daylight savings time.
And I was like, I seem to remember it has something to do with farmers.
Okay.
They have too much, you know, they need more sunlight.
I can't remember.
And I'm like, it's farmers.
I'm sure it's farmers.
And so I got to check this out because it's about farming.
I'm for it.
It's a good stance.
Good stance.
That's how we get a giant $500 billion farm bill every year.
Is it about farming?
Then I'm for it.
So here is the, so I said to you yesterday, I'll do my homework.
Yeah.
Let me look into where it started.
I'm very interested in where we're landed on this.
Oh, you're not going to believe.
Okay.
So if you start looking in all the dark corners of human history,
you find a man named Benjamin Franklin.
That's not a dark horse.
He's my favorite founder.
Right.
Founding father, inventor, lover of lightning, lover of libraries.
Yes.
Pretty good guy.
Pretty good guy.
I love it.
So he's in Paris.
And in 1784, he writes, now, remember in America, he wrote an op-ed ed under a pseudonym, a nom de plume.
And it was all just comedy, basically.
he was just ripping things apart comedically, okay?
Well, he does this in the Journal de Paris,
and he writes this letter because he thinks the Parisians are lazy.
Now, who would have thought?
Where did that come from?
How things have changed, huh?
So he said, I've got an idea.
First of all, I can save you a fortune on candles.
and candles, if you woke up a little earlier,
you wouldn't need the candle at night
because you'd be tired and you'd go to bed.
So in this, he said,
and we should tax shutters.
Because if you don't have a shutter,
the light would come in and you'd wake up and you'd go to work.
And if that doesn't work, we should fire cannons at sunrise.
Get out of bed.
Okay. So he's writing this about basically making fun of the French for being lazy and laying in bed.
Okay. He didn't mean it, but a seed had been planted. So now you have to go 100 years to the future.
Another guy who becomes very serious about the clocks is George Vernon Hudson. He's an entomologist in New Zealand.
And he's like, you know, Benjamin Franklin was right.
Why?
Because this guy collected butterflies after his job, and it got dark too early.
For his butterfly collection.
For his butterfly collecting.
Okay.
Okay.
This is, I mean, this is insane.
So he stirs up a big deal.
He's like, we've got to drop our clocks back.
But he didn't say.
say an hour. He said like 20 minutes. Set it back 20 minutes. 20 minutes. What are you talking?
You know how screwed up everything would be if we set our clock? I'm going to send him back
16 and a half minutes. We can't handle the most basic of tasks. I know. Okay. Imagine that.
All right. So he's, you know, he's doing this because again, he's collecting insects.
All right. 1895 is when he did that.
It didn't come back again until William Willett in 1907.
He was a wealthy Englishman.
He said, just like Benjamin Franklin, except he was sincere about it,
nobody's working anymore.
Why can't?
Now, this is the, you've got to remember, this is a wealthy Englishman.
So he's like, why aren't my workers out on the plantation early in the morning?
I should be woken up by the sound of hard work.
So he says, this is a waste.
And he writes a pamphlet, a waste of daylight.
He also suggests we only turn the clocks back 20 minutes.
All right.
So he lobbied parliament.
Nobody listened to him, okay?
1916.
1916, the beginning of the Great War.
All across Europe, countries are desperate.
To do what?
What are they doing?
They're fighting, right?
If you're fighting, what do you need?
Don't think daylight.
What do you need?
Night.
No.
No, forget the time.
What is valuable.
What's valuable is armaments.
Okay?
And how do you make armaments back there, back then?
Coal.
Okay.
So they want the light to last as long at night as possible,
so the coal plants are taking all the coal instead of giving it to people for energy in their houses
so they can turn on all their lights, they can make armaments.
So they have a shortage of fuel of coal.
That was a winding road.
I would not have gotten that on my own.
This is why I did this dusty, dusty work yesterday.
Okay.
Suddenly, Germany is like,
Hey, wait a minute.
Remember that guy that was Germany did this, not England.
Germany said, remember that guy who was in parliament who said that you should set the clock back?
And they were like, yeah, 20 minutes.
And so a German said, how about a full hour?
Would that save things?
April 30th, 1916, Germany was nothing good comes from Germany.
I'm sorry, really good desserts.
Really good desserts.
Other than that, nothing good.
Well, okay.
BMWs are pretty nice.
Mercedes, pretty nice.
But other than that, nothing comes out of Germany that is good.
Aren't you German?
There's a few exceptions.
Okay.
So all across Europe, the war is raging.
Germany sets their clocks back so they can have the daylight so they're not wasting coal.
And England is like, hey, wait a minute.
six weeks later, England joins in.
Then Europe joins it.
Everybody's doing this for the war effort.
Then Wilson.
Then Wilson comes in and he does it as well in the United States.
So the first time it ever happened was under Woodrow Wilson.
I could end the story there and that explains why I'm now not for daylight savings.
I can end it there.
So after Wilson.
because of the progressives, this is so amazing.
Think about this in history.
The progressives in 1919 became very unpopular
because Woodrow Wilson had had a stroke.
His last year in office was absolutely incapable
of running anything in the White House.
He wasn't in charge.
His wife was, does any of this sound familiar?
And he had taken America and pushed it into
socialism and we had we had lost freedom and it scared the American people because at that time
they knew the Constitution and it had happened in eight years and they're like we got to get
away from this and so they reversed it and all the things he did they reversed
including daylight savings time and then World War II happened and FDR came in
And he called it wartime.
And he did it for the same reason to save on coal, save energy.
So to conserve resources again, we put in wartime.
And then we never let it go.
So 70 countries now still observe daylight savings time.
That's a third of the world.
Across Europe, the clocks spring forward, fall back like clockwork, pun intended.
Over in Europe, it's called summertime.
In North America, United States, Canada, and Mexico, we're still dancing to this tune,
except Mexico is starting to opt out.
Parts of Australia and New Zealand still observe it.
But in Asia, Africa, and most of South America, they've been like, these guys are stupid.
What are you doing?
They're like, yeah, that's not a really, I mean, we don't have candles anymore or coal.
So, you know, I think we're, you know, I think we're pretty good with this.
And it messes with our bodies.
And doctors show that the time change increases heart attacks, strokes,
car accidents, and grumpiness.
The one thing it is, it's on a Saturday and you're like, oh, I miss church.
Gosh, darn it, I didn't send my car.
Now, that's not a very good, that's not a good reason to be against it.
Wilson is.
your kids miss buses anyway so that is what happened now if we don't if Donald Trump comes in
and says we're getting rid of daylight savings time that means the sun in Boston will come up
at 407 a.m. Like 4.11 in Minneapolis around the same in Seattle that is significant.
420, I think, in Los Angeles.
But it's still light until 7 o'clock at night, 8 o'clock at night.
I'm pretty cool with that.
I'm pretty cool with that.
I don't like it when, you know, the problem is, in the winter, it gets dark so early.
You kind of like, I don't wait, I don't need it to be darker, you know, at 3 in the afternoon.
I went to, where was that?
Copenhagen, I think.
I was doing a deal on, I was in Sweden, and I was doing a deal on the Muslim uprisings over there.
This is years ago.
And like the sun rises at like 930, 945 and goes down at 3, you know, 245, and it never gets past like the sunset.
It's never above like 20 degrees horizon.
And so it just kind of circles the edge.
It always looks like dawn or dusk.
I think I'd kill myself.
I don't care how good the chocolate is or whatever.
I think the Swiss miss would be fashioning a rope for me really quickly.
Oh my gosh.
I don't think I could handle it.
So anyway, that's the story.
Donald Trump, right again.
He is right.
Anything that goes against Woodrow Wilson and FDR,
I fully 100% back.
And by the way, it all started as a joke.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
If you are somebody who gets our free morning newsletter, which is all of my show prep, you just sign up for it at glenbeck.com, you will see absolutely every story that's legit or from a legit source.
about the drones.
And none of them agree with each other,
except that it's happening.
Well, I can't say that because they don't agree on that either.
Some people are saying, well, you're just seeing stars.
I've seen stars my whole life.
I know what a star looks like.
I know what a plane looks like.
Potential drone sightings in Vermont.
Potential drone sightings in
in New York.
Are these drone sightings over Georgia?
Michigan Man reports mystery drone sighting.
Mystery drones over UK air bases and threat of Russian sleeper agents.
So now the English are saying the drones over there are from Russia.
Mystery drones spotted in Tacoma.
You know what the number one drone siding state is?
You would say New Jersey, right?
Jersey, yeah.
Oklahoma.
What?
Yeah.
Oklahoma is the number one drone site,
citing capital, apparently, of the world.
And the governor just said,
they're there every night.
You can see him when the sky's cleared.
He said, I've been watching these for over a year,
and they're not hunters looking for pigs or coyotes or anything like that
because they're flying around in an observational way.
He said he has asked the White House to give Oklahoma the same things that they're supposedly giving to New York.
I mean, if it was nothing to worry about, why would they be giving all these states this really high, sophisticated drone stuff?
Well, I guess maybe because if it is actually a mystery drone and the government's not involved and it's nothing to worry about, then it's just people.
just messing with the FAA.
Dron sightings in San Diego,
in Kentucky,
and now they're saying these people with lasers,
when you point them at a drone,
you might be pointing them at an aircraft
and we'll come and arrest you.
Why can't you just track the signal back on the drones to find?
Why is that not even threatened?
If you're flying any of these drones,
we will find you because we can track your,
signal from the drone back to you, the operator, and we'll do it.
I mean, with all the technology they have and all the monitoring that they do, you'd think
that would be possible.
No, it is.
It is possible.
I know.
But I mean, so why wouldn't they be doing it?
Right.
Why wouldn't we be doing that?
So my guess is maybe it's not as easy as we think it is.
I mean, a lot of time.
I mean, you see this happen all the time.
We're like, hey, this guy just murdered a CEO in the middle of Manhattan.
Oh, he got all the way to Pennsylvania.
Look, what?
So here is Whoopi Goldberg's explanation.
You heard this?
No, I have not heard of Whoopi.
I think they know what it is.
I think they're not going to really be able to say it.
Or we're going to get a really hell of a big party for New Year's Eve.
It's going to be like a dome over all 50 states of these drones.
Because it's something like that.
Well, why not?
I mean, stranger things.
have happened. Then a New Year's Eve party with drone. Okay. These people are out of
a dome of drones over all 50 states. Stranger things have happened. No. Not really. And strange
things have happened. I give her credit on that. Really unexpected things have happened,
but not stranger than that, I don't think. Donald Trump says yesterday, he was asked about it.
He said, he was asked, have you been briefed in your in your president-elect briefed?
things. And all he said is, the government knows what they are. And they're just not telling the
American people. That's what he said. Hopefully he will. Maybe we find out on January 20th.
I have to tell you, I heard somebody yesterday give what I think is the answer, without question,
mathematically the answer. I'll give that to you here in just a second. First, I have a,
Hang on just a second. Let me pull it up here. I have a New Jersey state senator. His name is John Bramnick. He is, he thinks he knows why the federal government is not telling the truth on the drones. Welcome to the program, state senator, John Bramnick.
Good to be with you, Glenn. Thank you. So you've been on this now for a while. Apparently in
New Jersey. It's a very big deal, but
Majorca said it might be
stars, but I think we've all
seen stars before.
What have you found
and why
isn't, if the government knows
what it is, why aren't they telling us?
Well, let me talk about the evolution
of this. First, people saw these
drones, large drones, including the
state police. The colonel of the state
police had a briefing with us
where one of their helicopters saw a
large SUV-sized
drone that was flying next to the helicopter, turn off its lights, and fled.
Now, that's not some citizen.
That's the helicopter pilots for the state police.
So it started off with clear observations of unusually large drones that were turning
off their lights and leaving the area.
So then people started to see this.
And then why I think it's such a big deal is both sides of the aisle.
You had Schumer and Trump on the same side of this issue.
You had Governor Murphy, a Democrat, and Governor Christie, both asking for more information.
So when you have both sides saying there's not enough information,
United States senators were going out with local police because they couldn't get information from the federal government.
So then what happened?
All of a sudden there were these private briefings and all of a sudden it started to change.
They said, well, it's not a threat, but they still didn't release any other information.
So I think slowly the federal government is privately giving information to elected officials to try to calm down the public.
But that doesn't answer why we see in New Jersey over military bases, over reservoirs, and even over Governor Christie's house, large drones.
and we see what we see.
So I think what happened here is they try to tap all this down
and it backfired on the Biden administration.
So any clue?
Is it us?
Is it the Pentagon?
What is it?
Any clue?
It's definitely not Martians, okay?
Because they never land in Jersey, I'll tell you that.
It's so expensive here.
They're going down the Florida, I can tell you that.
We know it's not outer space people.
It may be some spaced out people.
So here's what we're left with.
I've heard three or four theories.
And everyone calls me and says, you know, I heard this, et cetera.
Everything from some sort of mapping of the heat on the earth in order to do security.
From radioactivity, somebody sent me something yesterday that said the amount of radioactivity in the New York, New Jersey area is raised.
has been increased. They wanted to send me a website on that. So I don't know, but I do know
something. The Department of Defense has to know. And if they don't know, we're in big trouble.
You know, in the U.K., they're blaming, the drones just started showing up over the air bases over
there. And in the U.K., they're blaming Russia.
Well, you know, you're telling me, okay, in 2024, that the department,
Department of Defense doesn't know what a SUV-sized drone is doing flying over military bases.
Now, if that's, if that's the case, then we better look closely at our military.
So we did, I mean, this administration is the one that led a balloon that they said had nothing.
It was not sending information back.
Go across the United States and denied it half the time and then said it was nothing until they shot it down after it.
transmitted all of its information.
I mean...
And how about the president-elect saying the government knows but isn't telling us?
Now, I would suspect that the president-elect has sufficient information to make that statement.
Otherwise, I doubt he would have said that.
Well, he said that in response to a question, in your president-elect briefings on
national security, has they said anything? And that was his response. So it would lead you to believe
he's telling you without telling you what he got briefed. The bottom line is when you have this many
millions of people, wherever I go in New Jersey, the first question is, hey, Senator, can you please
tell me? Don't worry. I won't tell anybody. You know, my rule is if you want to keep a secret,
don't tell anybody. So all I got to tell you is we don't have. We don't have.
enough information to calm down the public. So just give us enough information to calm down the
public. That's all we're asking for. You said that they are too fearful of the public reaction.
What did you mean by that?
Figure that the Defense Department must know what these drones are doing. So either, if they don't
know, that's a problem. But if they do know, they must figure that they cannot release this
information because it's such a top secret, you know, plan or it would create fear in the
public. It's got to be one or the other. Guesses they have to know based on my confidence in the
military. So therefore, they want to release it because they don't either scare the public or
provide secret information to our adversaries. What other explanation is? Now the explanations
and, you know, you've seen these drones.
If it's not somebody who saw a bigfoot,
and then comes back from the woods.
Right.
I saw a big foot.
David Christie lived down the shore.
Right, right.
Senator, I'd love to have you back,
because I know that you were a assistant professor
at, I think it was Ryder University.
He won the inspirational professor of the year.
And you have also, you also hold the title
of Funniest Lawyer in New Jersey.
And you think that was easy to win.
Let me tell you some, the competition.
The only competition that's not as hard is the funniest accountant in New Jersey.
Now, that competition anybody can win.
But I beat the pants off nine other finalists and the funniest were in New Jersey.
And people pay to come see a lawyer tell jokes.
That's how crazy the public is.
Thank you so much, Senator.
I appreciate it.
God bless you.
Merry Christmas.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
A hero, really, of the Canadian people.
Ezra Levant.
Hello, Ezra.
Glenn, it's great to talk with you today.
I heard your introduction about Christia Freeland,
the deputy prime minister and finance minister.
She's much more than that.
It would be like Dick Cheney was to George Bush Jr.
I mean, the everything fixer, totally involved in all the files.
that was Christia Freeland.
And she quit yesterday and she timed her leaving to detonate the morning she was supposed
to deliver a mini budget.
So that whole thing was thrown into a mess.
And basically didn't she say that because we're spending all of our money and we have to
stop because we might get into a trade war with America?
She did.
And in her resignation letter, which she published, she accused Trudeau.
of being a narcissist, of being in it for himself.
She didn't use the word narcissist, but she said,
we've got to think about more than just ourselves.
We've got to think about the country.
She accused him of, quote, political gimmicks.
And the thing is, she was his right-hand woman since the very beginning.
And I want to tell you one more thing about Christia Freeland.
She is on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum.
And what was her job right before she became a member of,
Parliament to join Trudeau, you're not going to believe me. She was the authorized biographer of
George Soros. So the deputy prime minister and finance minister, but really the everything
minister of Canada. She was, like I say, like Dick Cheney to George Bush, she was the right
handman on every file. So was she, was she more of the architect of this? Or is Trudeau capable of
what I'm asking is, is Trudeau more of a Biden and she's more of an Obama?
Or is it Dick Cheney and George W. Bush?
Trudeau loves the sizzle of being prime minister.
He loves the adulation.
It's hard to come by.
So, for example, he went to the recent Taylor Swift concert and he exchanged friendship bracelets with teenage girls.
That's his market these days.
Everyone else shouts at him.
So he was never a policy guy.
He would leave that to the grownups, and Christian Freeland and George Soros would fill that void.
And I'm not just saying George Soros has a throwaway line.
A few years ago, Canada signed a contract with the Open Society's Foundation to draft our refugee policy.
So this is not a rumor.
Oh, my gosh.
So Christopher's departing is an enormous blow.
But look, Canadians can hardly wait to get rid of.
rid of Trudeau. I don't want to sound overconfident, but the conservative opposition leader,
his name is Pierre Polyev, he's excellent. He's way out ahead in the polls. Remember, we have a
multi-party system. So there's about five parties in Parliament. The conservatives are at 43. Now,
I know that might sound low in an American two-party system, but when you've got five parties,
43% means you're going to have a massive victory. And last night, after Christia Freeland
detonated Trudeau and quit,
there was a pollster named Abacus data that went into the field immediately,
and his results have just been posted.
Only 11% of Canadians approve of Trudeau.
11%.
It's going to be a massacre.
Last factoid, here's a little data point.
This is happy news.
This is really happy news.
While everyone was focused on the intrigues in Ottawa,
there was a special election in the province of British Columbia for one of these members of parliament.
and the conservatives, led by Pierre Pollyev, got 66% in the local district.
In Vancouver, BC?
Not in Vancouver proper, but nearby.
So in BC, which is sort of like Washington State, it's a little bit hippy, it's a little bit eco.
A little bit?
A little bit.
But then I got to tell you people of every background, according to the pollsters, men and women, young and old, and minorities,
They all want Trudeau Gaum, which is so interesting because he came to power as the woke guy who, you know, I'm a male feminist, he said, et cetera.
Canadians are finally done with them.
We just need that moment where we get to go to vote.
And Ezra, I hate to simplify your country's politics in this way.
But Glenn, Paul Eve is the guy who, with the apple guy.
The member of the viral video where he was just sitting there answering questions.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eating the apple.
That's the guy.
Yes.
I think everybody.
in America that saw that video. Oh, I love that guy. Now, that apple eating thing, give me 30 seconds
on that. You know, he was answering questions from a left-wing journalist while casually eating an
apple. Whenever the journalist would say things like, well, aren't you, people say, you're like
Trump, and he would say, what people? And what did they say? And he just did this a bunch of times
proving that the journalist was just, you know, taking cheap shots. And when he said, people,
say he was just saying, I say.
It was masterful.
And why is that important?
There was no real policy talked about.
The reason that was important, Glenn,
is because it shows that Pierre Pahliav has a Trump-like disdain for journalists.
And why is that important?
Because too many Canadian conservatives are so worried about what the media will say about
them, they respond to the peer pressure of journalists.
They want to give journalists the answer that the journalists want.
Pollyev is not afraid to look at our version of CNN in the eyes and say, you know, and attack them and insult them and poke back so that I know that if he's elected prime minister, that he will be largely immune to the Mean Girls Club of the media party.
And that's saying something because you have the CBC.
That's like our PBS except that's the main.
I mean, they control the, they are the CNN, NBC, ABC.
see there everything up there.
They're larger than all other media combined.
Our state broadcaster has more journalists than every other media company combined.
You can imagine how that really distorts the national conversation.
But a lot of Canadians get their info through social media,
which is why Trudeau's introduced legislation that would criminalize,
including with a life in prison.
And Trudeau has introduced a bill called C63 that has a life in prison component for, quote, hate crimes, including hate speech.
That's one of the reasons Jordan Peterson cited for moving to America.
This bill C63.
And we're going to fight that bill if it becomes law.
But the way things are looking, I think Trudeau might not last long enough to make it into law.
So what happened?
I mean, parliamentary systems are so weird.
You can just call an election at any time, which is kind of weird.
But does he have to call for one or does he have to step down or can there be a vote of no confidence?
What happens next?
Well, he only has a minority in our parliament.
He's propped up by a hardcore socialist party called the NDP, the new Democrats.
Right.
And didn't they just come out and pretty much say, we're done with you?
No.
It's trickier.
They said we demand Trudeau resign.
And then when they said, will you vote non-confidence in him?
They refuse to.
So they like to pretend they're against Trudeau.
But they have never opposed him.
So Trudeau is the master of his own destiny as long as no one has the courage to push him out.
And if there was a non-confidence vote, he could be thrown out and an election would be forced.
But I don't think his critics have the courage to do that.
I don't think they have the numbers.
And look, these polls are so awful, Glenn.
A lot of the liberals who are sick of Trudeau and worry he's tanking things,
they know they're going to lose whether the election is now or in six months.
So why not drag it out for six more months, get paid, enjoy their power, run things a little longer.
If you're a liberal MP and you know you're going to lose the next election,
why wouldn't you at least stretch it out three, six, nine months to, you know, get as much from your job as possible,
get as much money, power, influence.
Unbelievable.
I think the liberals are going to be smashed.
But Trudeau will probably let...
Listen, he is stubborn and he's a fighter.
I've never seen him apologize.
I've never seen him quit.
He's a lot of flaws, but tenacity is not one of them.
How much of a role did the election of Donald Trump play in this?
Are you guys just right, just behind us on what's happening here in America?
That's such a great question.
in a way, a Trump tweet started the dominoes falling here.
I don't know if you remember about a month ago.
About a month ago, Trump tweeted 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if they don't seal their borders.
Stop the illegal drugs, stop illegal immigrants.
So it was, and Mexico immediately got on the phone.
Yeah, hang on just a second.
Why did Canada have such a hard time with that?
It's like, just we need you to enforce your laws.
That's all we need.
And Pierre Polly of the conservative leader said, look, I don't want to do those things because Donald Trump tells me to.
I want to do those things because it's in the Canadian interest.
Right.
Why would any Canadian?
And Trump is worried about fentanyl coming through Canada into the States.
Well, Canadians should be worried about that too.
In fact, we are.
We've had a huge crime wave under Trudeau.
So the smart, grown-up answer is, okay, Trump is asking sort of roughly, like he's being a little bit, he's got that, you know, he's walking, he's trying a big stick.
Yeah.
But just deal with him.
The man's a transactional dealmaker.
He's not actually asking Canadians for anything that we don't want.
Just do it.
But instead, let me throw one last thing at you, Glenn.
Here's my theory of why Trudeau is fighting.
As I mentioned, Trudeau is so low in the polls,
and this conservative leader is so high.
But what if Trudeau could flip it?
And instead of running against Pierre Pauly of the conservative leader,
what if Trudeau would say, I'm running against Trump?
because Trump is not that popular in Canada because the media has bashed him for 10 years.
And what if Trump puts on the terrorist, you know, here and what if Trump brings in the,
we just stop listening to that.
We just stop listening to that.
Yeah, I know.
It's even worse up here.
But one more move.
What if Trump actually implements the tariff on Canada?
It hurts our economy.
So now Trudeau can say this terrible economy is not my fault.
It's Trump's fault.
Vote for me if you want to stand up to Trump.
Vote for me if you don't like.
Trump. That's for me and we'll blame Trump together for the woes. I think Trudeau is willing to
sacrifice Canada's economy for this desperate chance to run and win again. That's my theory at least.
I, you know what? To me that makes sense. And you know what? Honestly, to understand Donald
Trump, you have to understand he never, when he's negotiating, he never threatens. He's never
threatening. He just makes promises. If you do this, I'll do that. If you do this, I'll do that. And he will.
He will. So he's not threatening. Just making promises. Well, and why wouldn't Canada say, all right, you've got our
attention. We agree we've got a border problem. By the way, it goes both ways. When Trump is going to deport a large
number of illegal migrants, some of them will say, oh, we'd better come into Canada because
there's such a soft touch. So we have an interest in having a strong border because we don't want
all the folks Trump's going to deport, including those who committed crimes. And those who are
going to self-deport, self-deport. Yeah, I mean, all those Haitians, they're going to want to go
to Montreal, a French-speaking city rather than go back to Haiti, wouldn't you? So we need a strong
border also. Trudeau would rather fight with Trump for the media kudos than actually.
fix a problem. It's his last desperate chance. But you know what? I hope Canada comes back
and the Trump revolution is not just a political and economic one. It's a freedom revolution.
Free speech, Elon Musk, R.FK. Jr., basically rebuking the COVID mentality. Hopefully some of
that freedom will slosh over the border into us, Glenn. Yeah. One last thing. We both have to run.
you have one in every 20 persons now selecting suicide and more women are electing for euthanasia than men are.
I mean, this is getting way out of control euthanasia in Canada.
And our veterans affairs department is suggesting euthanasia for soldiers who have PTSD.
If you say you're depressed, they will literally.
use that as a reason to give. They call it up here maid, medical assistance in dying. It's
a new word for euthanasia. Canada is now ahead of the Netherlands for this, and partly it's
socialized medicine, because if you kill someone, they're not going to cost a hundred grand a year
on intensive care. Part of it is also the war on the concept of life. Trudeau is an absolutist
for abortion, and this is an extension of sort of a eugenics approach. It's dark days for those who
value life in Canada, Glenn.
your theory is absolutely wrong, but I've watched you long enough to know your theory probably
is right. I hope you're wrong, though. Thank you so much, as well. Thanks, Glenn. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye. That guy is one of the bravest people up in Canada that I know.
