Episode Date: October 13, 2026

On this episode Tate and the crew are joined by The Right Call host Elliot Daigneault to discuss: Rep. Ilhan Omar's house getting raided by feds Attacks on Saudia Arabia that are driving up oil prices The ATF rolling back enforcement on gun rights Canada leading the world in euthanasia deaths Hosts:  Tate @realTateBrown (everywhere) Phil @PhilThatRemains (X) | https://allthatremains.komi.io/ Brett  @brettdasovic  (everywhere) |  @PopCultureCrisis   Producer: Carter @carterbanks (X) |  @trashhouserecords  (YT) https://carterbanks.komi.io Guest: Elliot Daigneault @hrh_elliot (X) Elliot Daigneault is a Canadian conservative political commentator and host of The Right Call, a podcast covering Canadian politics, government accountability, immigration, and U.S.–Canada relations. He is known for criticizing Canada's Liberal Party, Prime Minister Mark Carney, and progressive government policies.

Elon Omar's home has been raided. The DHS has made a massive play days or weeks, I guess, a few weeks before the midterms here, pretty unprecedented. We've never really seen anything quite like this before. A lot of reaction from all over the political space. Also, the reason why they raided her home was not what we expected. I think a lot of people heard Elon Omar. They thought it was over her brother.

Turns out some completely separate documents. But, hey, I'm all right. Let's hear out DHS. I'd be all right if she got deported. That'd be pretty cool. We have a few more stories, but that's obviously the big one. It's kind of hard to follow up. Yel and Omer are getting your home rated.

Oil prices are on the rise. Once again, Iran, you know, continuing on. I'll probably be talking about this for the next three years of my life. At this point, at this rate. Until they call you up and send you to the front line. I know, yeah, until I get, you know, drop like a drone picks me up and carries me over there. ATF, no, suppressors. you can get them.

They're, you know, like water. They're available everywhere. Phil's got the shirt. It's a beautiful thing. We'll throw it to him for that story because that's not my wheelhouse. And just kind of decided to talk about the story for no reason whatsoever. In Quebec, separatists of one, an election there. Again, this is something that's been percolating in my head.

Again, there's no other reason why we'd bring up such a story. But just kidding, we have a wonderful Canadian guest on with us today, who I will reveal in one second.

And I am your host, Tate Brown here, holding it down for the great Tim Poole today, who is out with an illness, but he will be back soon. But thankfully, we have a fantastic guest here today to hold down the show. We're joined by the great Elliot Deneau. Thank you for having me, man. I'm stoked. Dude, this is going to be a great one. I catch a lot of flack because I refuse to go in on the Canadians. I mean, the Canadian government, obviously, but I meet a lot of great Canadians. You're emblematic of that. You're a fantastic patron. Thanks, thanks, thanks. You know, there's a few of us still in Canada. The ones who haven't fled to the U.S. yet. I love it. I love it. So, who are you, what do you do? Yes, I'm a political commentator, conservative political commentator. We're

far and few in Canada, host of The Right Call on YouTube and Spotify. And aside from that, I'm just an aspiring American one day. I love that. We need you up there for the time being, try to win back. We can't seat any ground. No. We'll get into it. We've got a lot of good stories coming. Brett, I'm an honorary Canadian because I'm from Minnesota, so I'm basically a Canadian. You mean from Somalia? Yeah, yeah. Well, I, so I coined the term Frostback as my slay. I'm towards Canadians, but I won't use that on you at all tonight. We like snow Mexicans better. I like it.

That's better. I love that. I love that. We got Phil in the house. What's up, everybody, back from the imaginary world of Las Vegas out doing some ATR stuff last week. So I'm back here holding it down with my good friend, Tate. What's going on, Carter?

What's up? I know you're in Las Vegas. I thought you were in L.A. Did I say Las Vegas? You did? No, I met L.A. Same thing. Oh, man.

I mean, it's the same thing. It felt like it was Vegas. This was like 100 degrees when I got there in October. Time me up. Well, hey, let's get into it. Let's get into it. And we'll get into it with this first story. Everyone's talking about it from the Associated Press.

Agents Search Representative Omar's Washington Home and Criminal Probe as she vows she won't be silenced. And you can see here the guys in the HSI jackets posted up outside of her home. This is a fascinating story to say the least. We're still learning the facts as they come in. I'll read here from the AP. Federal agents on Monday searched the home of Democratic U.S. Representative Elon Omar, a startling escalation in a criminal investigation that brings renewed focus to the frequent target of the Trump administration's derision in the final weeks of her reelection bid. She's likely going to be safe. That's like a plus 50 Biden district. But, you know, who knows? Stranger things have happened. The search of the Minnesota Congresswoman's home so close to next month's midterm contests that will determine control. of the House and Senate was swiftly condemned by top Democrats in Congress who raised questions about the timing giving a longstanding Justice Department protocol to avoid overt investigative steps

involving political candidates and a direct run-up to an election. Obviously, Omar, and thank you, AP, for sort of adding that in. We wouldn't have known as an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. Once again, this is a fascinating story. Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, last month, cited a, quote, ongoing investigation that he suggested. was examining potential fraud in her family's immigration paperwork, quote, something's going to happen, he said in a potential foreshadowing of the search. The timing, obviously, I said the same thing earlier today. I said it looks like if anything it's signaling to the Trump base, like, hey, guys,

look, we're doing stuff. We're trying to get stuff done before the midterms. So to say it's not politically motivated timing-wise doesn't seem very genuine to me. I agree. It is politically, I mean, there, there, there, there, is the political angle, but it is also, you know, it does seem like there's substance, right? It's not just fabricated if she lied about, allegedly the story is that she lied about her birth date so that way she could get naturalized with her father when he was naturalized in 2000.

She said she was 17. She was actually 18. Therefore, she's not actually a citizen of the United States. And in my opinion, look, I'm very open about or very clear about my policy or my personal preferences when it comes to immigration and all immigration for a few decades. Everybody that's here is illegal. You have to go if you're here illegally. You have to go back. We don't need to have a massive amount of immigrants. And the people that are here that are that are immigrants, that are children of immigrants, they need to assimilate, become Americans, which I think I'm of the opinion that basically anyone can become an American, but it's not something that happens just by putting your foot on the magic soil.

We don't have magic soil here. You have to come to the United States. And so if you're here illegally, if you've somehow got around the law or lied on your paperwork, got to go. Now, as for what this means, politically say hypothetically she's found in the next couple of weeks, where you can't, you're not able to be the, the representative. That doesn't substantively change who would be elected from that district, right? The district elected Ilan Mohar, Ilan Omar, because she is a Somali. She says that she represents the Somali community of Dearborn or of that area.

It's not like you're going to get some maga guy in there and they're going to elect that person. So there's not going to be a substantive change. It's going to be someone that has similar views, similar politics will likely win. But I don't think it's about getting somebody in that you think. I don't think it's about getting a MAGA guy in there. I think it's about signaling to the Trump base that we're doing things at a time when they're saying that nothing's getting done. Where that's the straw man arguments that nothing in the administration is getting done. It's lame duck administration.

And we've had discussions in the past about the things that have been accomplished. So it doesn't feel to me like it's about changing the voting in Minnesota, more about. signaling that they're, you know, and I agree with you. But I think that beyond, I don't think anything you said is wrong. But I do think beyond that, it also kind of reminds people that, you know, it is a situation where they are trying to get illegals out. But keep in mind as well, a judge had to sign off on it, right? So this is, sure, maybe there's a political aspect to it. But ultimately, if there was no substance, if there was no basis, a judge would have rejected it. And It's interesting that you brought up the magical soil because we were talking about that today

because over the weekend, like Danny Trejo, like, released a statement because he's doing a movie with The Daily Wire. That's like a pro-ice movie and he basically released a tweet or something being like, no, I'm anti-ice and I'm a Mexican-American, blah, blah, blah. And the point we were making today is that the days of, because he's born in America. So it doesn't even matter at that point. Like it's not even about assimilation in a lot of ways because even people born here don't necessarily assimilate. And there is still, and my point that I was making during the show was like there is for a lot of like the generic liberals or old school liberals.

There is a romantic story around the idea of somebody shedding the skin of their former homeland and coming here and becoming an American and embracing American tradition and American values. And that's something that's very powerful. But it's not the reality that we live in anymore. If anything, it's kind of like a specter. ghost of a past life in America. That's a really good point because if you look at what's happening in France right now, there's massive riots, right? A lot of those riots are people, young guys, that are second and third generation French.

So they've been born. They were born in France. They've lived their whole life in France. They have not assimilated. A point that Tate makes all the time is when you have enclaves, you know, people that are all of the same ethnicity living in an area, then you really don't get that kind of assimilation, or that's one of the reasons why you don't get that assimilation.

I think there's multiple aspects as to why, but I think that to Tate's point, which he's made on IRL multiple times, if you have these enclaves where everybody basically is just bringing the old country with them, you know, there isn't the impulse or the need to assimilate. That's one of the reasons why back when the Trump administration first started, when the second administration started, I was very, very pro, like, make sure that the government produces

no materials in any language other than English. You have to speak English. And I do think the United States should have a national language that's English, and we shouldn't accommodate different groups of people. Because now you can go and you can see there are government documents that are written in Chinese or in Arabic

or in Spanish or what have you. And we shouldn't do any of that. Everyone that comes here should speak the same language because there are concepts in one language that don't make sense in a different language. There are jokes that don't land the same because of the language. So to initially, the first very most important thing is have everybody able to understand each other and to do that, you need to learn English. Yeah, I mean, well, it's funny because we're saying this and we're saying, okay, well, look, the problem here is you have these ethnic

enclaves, you know, the immigrants come in and they have a pack in one place. And of course the solutions to that, you know, going in and maybe breaking them up using government power, that sounds like something that only a far-right government would do. But we've seen in Switzerland here, I mean, this is from the Conversation.com. This is just a random piece I pulled up at the last second. You can find this well-documented. Denmark, who I don't think any of us would really think of as a far-right society or certainly a far-government. I mean, the government they have in power is a very center-left kind of pragmatic government.

They've been sort of ghetto-busting, for lack of a better word, they've been going into these ethnic enclaves of immigrants, obviously, because they're not Danish, and sort of breaking them up. I think they actually have a threshold of 50% of a neighborhood reaches a non-Danish, you know, so that becomes a non-Danish majority. They have to, by law, go in there and sort of break it up. They go and bouldose the buildings. I mean, it is very sort of aggressive, as you can see here from the title. Denmark's uprooting of settled residents from ghettos forms part of aggressive plan to assimilate non-white inhabitants. Go figure it's working. And you're actually seeing in Denmark, in Denmark, I said it really so funny there.

In Denmark, you can see that it's working. You can see that these governments get rewarded by the voters, which is the funniest part I was Stalin Elliott before. A secret sauce, if you're a liberal, is just keep immigration under control, and you'll keep most of the nationalists happy. The nationalists just want to see that their country is going to be the same country that they can give their kids. If you want to pass your socialist reforms and your lefty social programs, you could

probably get away with that, as long as you keep in. creation under control. I mean, that's kind of the reality of the situation. America is a slightly different beast, but certainly the case in Europe that this would be this instance. I also laughed at the article when they were talking about the unspoken rule of not trying to use lawfare against political opponents as if that hasn't been something that they've been doing to Republicans for years and years and years. Well, this is what I got to ask, Elliot, do you believe so President Trump, he came out and he said, I had no idea this was going to happen? And obviously they juxtapose this with J.D. Vance saying back in

that they were actively looking through immigration record. Do you believe Trump that he had no active role in this? Do I believe him? Probably not. I mean, he's a president and he should be aware of these things. But there are separations between the judiciary and, I guess, the White House proper. And politically, he can't say he ordered it or did he had anything to do with it. We get that. But again, like, I'm all for it because I've never understood in the U.S.

the whole unspoken, like, 60 day before an election, you don't investigate, you know, anything political. I mean, if you committed a crime, you need to be properly. prosecuted period. I agree wholeheartedly. A follow-up question I would have for you, kind of on this topic. Does Canada have magic soil? Because the United States were saying maybe not the case, but I don't know. Canada is doing something. Apparently so. We've been very gongho about immigration for a while. But I liked the whole breaking down ghettos up to 50%. That would get rid of pretty much all of Brampton. Yeah. Brampton real estate. That would be great. Yeah. So look, I've never believed indeed the whole magic soil thing. I believe that a nation is nothing more than its culture and

its people. And I've used that point before. If you took everyone from Congo and you put them in Norway, which is a very rich country, one of the wealthiest country in the world, and you took all the Norwegians and you prod them in Congo. Within 10 years, Congo is a first world nation and Norway is back to a third world nation. The people make the country. So there's no such thing as magic soil. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's fascinating stuff because, you know, this is a point that I imagine we're to make a few times on the show is Canada, because it also is sort of a settler colony like the United States was, faces a lot of these same sort of existential questions that we have. Like, what is an American?

You know, it's like a debate raging really on the right. I think the left has a consensus, which is anyone that says they're an American. But on the right, you know, we're having these conversations. As I understand it, Canada has the exact same questions and is maybe a little further down the road and sort of coming up with the answer to that question. Yeah, you guys are about 10 years behind us when it comes to, that stuff. But it's a good question because I ask Canadians, what is being a Canadian? What is being Canadian? And you know, the number one answer people give is, well, we're not America.

And I'm like, wow, because your entire identity is not being another country. But you have to understand again in our history, Canada was the loyalists. There were the guys who wanted to stay with the crown. And interestingly enough, in your first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, there was a closet there for the province of Quebec at the time to join the union automatically. It was pre-approved, pre-vetted. They never took it. What a shame. shame, but nonetheless. So we've always been a little bit doing our own thing, being closer to the king and the queen or whatever. And we see consensus up there. We're just a nation of consensus, guys. Everybody's polite. Oh, God. Yeah, but the problem is that eventually it leads to, you know,

suicidal empathy. Yeah. You know, if you're always so inclusive to everyone all the time, you end up being inclusive to the kind of people that won't be inclusive back to you. And eventually these people will get into power and don't be surprised when they come for you. It's weird seeing this like battered wife syndrome among Canadians where President Trump seemingly, you know, I mean, in my opinion, it was never going to happen. I mean, to be fair, he was saying it explicitly, but, you know, I think everyone felt like in America wasn't going to happen, but I'm going to invade Canada. And it invoked a strong enough reaction among Canadians where they sort of blame Pierre Polly of for like, I don't know, fanning the flames in some way, shape, or form and just reelected the same government. He had like a 20% approval rating. Pierre's problem is he didn't say Trump bad enough.

That's really what it seems like it boils down to. He wasn't hostile enough to President Trump. He was between a rock and a hard place because within a concertive party in Canada, you have a faction that is very pro-America, and you have a faction that's very much, you know, we call it elbows up, but it's pro-Canada, it's just Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada.

So Pierre Pilever at that time kind of got blindsided, I guess, by Trump. And Trump, the only reason we have a liberal party in Canada is because of Trump. And he is the bogeyva. by excellence. It is all our media talks about. It's Trump, Trump, Trump. When you say liberal party, you're talking about left-leaning, right? Yeah, but you have to understand that in Canada, even our conservative party would probably

be a little bit to the left of the Democrats. They're like, yeah, they're like Bill Clinton. Yeah. Yeah. And then the liberals are very liberal. But you actually, I mean, Canada has a Canadian Communist Party as well. I don't know how much influence they have, but they do exist, right? Yeah, yeah, they do. I mean, Our really left-leaning party that tends to get some seats in our parliament is called the NDP, and these guys are cuckooed or whack. Jagmeet. What a name.

Oh, he's gone now. I forgot about that guy, yeah. Jagged me, yeah. He's gone now. He got his pension. He kept the Liberal Party in power for a while just to get his pension. The second that passed the threshold, he was gone. So, yeah, you can thank him for that.

Respect the grind, just, like, defraud your country. Yeah, but, you know, we call him a Champagne Socialist. Or actually, the name is we call him a Maserati Marxist. He was pictured coming out of a Maserati. The guy is loaded. We don't even know why he needs his like $80,000 a year pension, but he wanted it. It wasn't that what Marjorie Taylor Green was doing,

just like waiting it out till she got her pension? Or am I misremembering that? Could be. I don't recall the dynamic at play. I think she was waiting to get her Rumble contract. That's what they're all doing, right? Yeah. Well, we need to keep moving along here.

I feel like every story we're going to read, just going to deviate back into Canada. It's very rare we get to like, I don't know, really drilled in on Canada here. And north the entire time. From Reuters, oil prices rise on Saudi Arabia attacks overshadowing Trump's diesel deal, which was a very controversial deal was discussed over the weekend. Oil prices rose by nearly $2 a barrel on Monday as a tax on Saudi Arabia outweighed the prospect of increased supplies, even as U.S. President Donald Trump hailed fresh.

diesel exports and a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire on energy targets. Brent crude futures settled up $1.93 or $1.8 at $106 a barrel, $107 rounding up. The highest September 15th, Texas Intermediate settled at 93-74 a barrel. This is in response to the Hootis' sort of kicking back up. I think a lot of people thought that that was over. That was a one-time thing. Turns out to not be the case. it also turns out the Houthis are a lot more capable.

We found this out of it last few months, a lot more capable than I think people realize. My guess would just be because the Western media sort of taking them a little bit more seriously because it was part of a larger theater that's involving the United States. Fascinating what's happening down there where the Saudis are kind of hung out to dry in a lot of ways. The Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for a Saturday strike on Riyadh's International Airport that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300. Further attacks happened on Sunday. intensifying conflict that could further hamper crude oil supplies from one of the world's

biggest provider. Things are getting wacky and wild. Again, I continue to maintain this position that I've had for the last few months that I think this war drags on probably until 2028, certainly well into 2027. It's just the pieces for brinkmanship are just not there at all. What do you guys think? I don't know about 2028. I, it's From what I hear about what's going on inside Iran economically, I'm not sure that they can drag it out that long. I think the Riyadh is like $2 million to a dollar now or something, something incredibly crazy. It's like they're experiencing significant hyperinflation. I'm not sure that I don't think that that means, you know, a popular uprising inside of Iran.

But I do wonder like how long the government can maintain its legitimacy with the people. You know, it's like, obviously they do have the, you know, the stick, and that's what they've been using for the past, at least 40 years or what have you, 50 years. They're 45 years or something like that, 47. So I don't know. But I don't think that, I don't think there's going to be any significant escalation by the U.S. either. Because I think aside from the straight, or from, yeah, from the Strait or Moos, the U.S. has kind of achieved the goals that they wanted, right? They sunk Iran's Navy. They have no functional Navy.

They've taken out a significant amount of their ability to project any kind of power. They can still shoot missiles. But if they actually had a significant military capability, would they really be relying on the Houthis to do things? You know, they have the Houthis attacking the Saudis. They're not shooting missiles at Israel the way that they were before. They're not shooting missiles at U.S. bases like they were before. Now, again, this is not, I'm not saying that I'm some kind of. I have some kind of deep knowledge on what Iran has not used or has in in in reserve.

But you know, most of the bombings from the United States have kind of ended because the U.S. has kind of taken out most of the low-hanging fruit. And the U.S. doesn't really want to start going after significant infrastructure and really put an even greater or put greater pressure on the average, you know, Iranian citizen. Look, the midterms are kind of a wash for the, this topic now. How much of a conversation do you think this ends up being for the 2028 election? I mean, I think it's pretty realistic that, you know, let's say it's a crowded Republican field and there's, let's say it's J.D. Vance, right? And Rubio gets out of the way. It creates this dynamic

if it's a crowded field and there's viable competitors to Vance that he's going to probably have the distance himself from this war. Again, polling right now, certainly very unpopular among the American people, a lot more popularity within the Republican Party, how much of that is just people trust Trump versus are thrilled with the war. It's hard to say. But, you know, J.D. Vance, for example, and we're going into a primary, he's going to need to probably distance himself from the war if it's continuing on into the cycle, because then when he goes into the general, he's going to have the answer for that with the Democrat. I think he might take a line. Again, the hypothetical, if this war stretches out until that, you know, primary season, I see him taking a line of like, you know,

I wasn't crazy on it, but, you know, I'm just doing my job, like that sort of thing, which does if that'll be compelling or not. It's going to be the first question asked of any Republican that announces, and you're looking at six months, eight months until they start really announcing and before they actually start making the move. So unless they can wrap this up before spring, they're going to, the people that are, you know, prospectively running for a president on the Republican side, they're going to have to have a good answer for it. What's Trump's play then? Like, he doesn't seem like he needs to care.

It's going great. Everything's wonderful. He did everything we wanted to do. Right now, the oil is flowing through the straight or moves. It doesn't matter what's really going on. He's just going to talk. You know, the word on the street, right, the rumors is that Trump's going to escalate after the midterms. Because this is, again, some reporting indicates that this is him and we have an election coming up mode.

So that's like the volume of, you know, offense that we're playing right now. That's a problem, too, is destabilization leads. to the problems we're having with gas prices right now, you know, the instability in the region makes it harder for this to, you know, oil to make its way here, whatever it is. That's a problem, like, because then they're going to be even more unpopular, and that just means he doesn't care about who's going to be taking over in 2028 because likely they're going to have to come down on the opposite side of this issue anyways, and they've kind of accepted that beforehand. I think all of it, though, is about China, all right? So this is all about cornering China

and making sure they don't get to oil anymore because China's probably the biggest threat to the U.S. more so than Russia, by the way. I don't understand why people freak out about Russia all the time. So now with Venezuela... Because of their nuclear missile, their alleged nuclear missile arsenal. I mean, China has those two, right?

They do, but Russia has more nuclear missiles than any other country. Again, if they launch, I mean, I don't know for sure how, you know, I don't know what kind of maintenance they've kept up since the end of the Cold War, but go ahead and sorry. But ultimately now with the deal with Venezuela, I think he's making the entire world dependent on U.S. oil.

You're ramping up production here in the U.S. You obviously got in Canada, Alberta that's producing a lot, and who knows that 51st state might be real. Who the hell knows? But most importantly, you have Venezuela to first proven oil reserve in the world. If he enables the entire world to reroute and to take it from the U.S., now I think there's more cargo ships going through the Gulf of America slash Mexico, wherever you are in the world, well, the world now is becoming dependent on the U.S.

this is huge. China right now is lost, by the way, they used to get everything from Venezuela and Iran, and that's gone. So China is struggling to get the proper amount of oil for their military and their population in general. Yeah, this is what Bassett was saying. I can't remember which press pool he was in, but he was saying something along the lines of China or Iran will run out of oil to sell to China here in the next few weeks, which is quite interesting. I mean, yeah, I think that was an impetus for the United States. You know, there's kind of this discussion, you know, surrounding Iran, why do we go in, et cetera. And I think there's like two obvious sort of indicators of why now was the time to go in from the perspective of the Trump administration is, one is sort of

there's a lot of China Hawks in the administration, especially in the Pentagon. I mean, you look at like Elbridge Colby. I mean, this guy probably does push-ups in front of a picture of Xi Jinping every night. I mean, this guy is a total China hawk, which is fine by me. I think China's very big threat. But then the obvious, the elephant in the room, the Israelis who have been eyeing up Iran now for their entire existence as a state, they've been wanting to take the Iranians off the table because that allows them regional hegemony because it takes out Hezbollah, takes out Hamas, keeps the Red Sea open, takes out the Houthis. So it's kind of this storm where you probably did have an Israel lobby weighing on

Trump saying, now's the time, let's go in. The infamous Marker Rubio quote, where he's basically indicating that the timing wasn't on their schedule. The Israelis sort of made the decision of when to go in. But it must be said, it's not just as straightforward to say it was just Israel. I think the United States had an overlapping interest, which was, to your point, they felt like maybe now is the time to contain Iran for Israel's sake, sure, but also behalf of sort of the China Hawks and then sort of containing China. And this is why I think it's interesting, is if you look at sort of the way that the United States is going to have to maneuver, they're going to have to have this question of, is our alliance relationship, et cetera, with Israel beneficial for a anti-China posture, right? Because a lot of

the Gulf states, for example, the Saudis, 99% disapproval for the Abraham Accords now. And that was kind of what we, you know, if we were to develop an anti-China posture in the Middle East, that would be the only way to keep Israel in the equation and build up that posture was the Abraham Accords, get all the Sunni states on the same page. That's gone. October 7th, completely sort of ruined the prospects of the Abraham Accords coming. about. So the United States is probably going to be in this position where it's like, hey, if you want the Saudis, the Qataris, the Emirates, et cetera, you want them all on board, you're probably going to have to make some tough decisions regarding our relationship with Israel. So it's going to be a fascinating

fascinating next few years as specifically the Intel community decides on what to do about China. And I guess a lot of it depends on how Iran sort of wraps up. But it's fascinating. It's funny that you mentioned the popular support for the Abraham Accords. in Saudi Arabia. It's a good thing they're a monarchy. Yeah, well, yeah, it's true. Monarchy too. Yeah. Well, I guess it all depends. I mean, you had to look at what happens to Netanyahu, right? I mean, Netanyahu is under a lot of pressure. And when this, you know, like, if you look at what was happening, people don't realize this. People think

Israel is much more straightforward. And it's a very chaotic place. And if you look at what was happening in Israel leading up to October 7th, they were on the brink of a civil war. I mean, people don't realize this. Israel was quite literally on the brink of like, like a full-blown civil war, is a very unstable country at the time. And then October 7th happens. You know, people speculate what exactly went down there. But from the thousand-foot picture, it happens, and national unity occurs, and then they go to war. Again, a very bizarre situation that they were really close to the brink. And who knows what would have happened there. Instead, now we have a situation where Netanyahu has carried on. And now we're heading into

this current situation where, from my perspective, I don't think Netanyahu wants this war with Iran to end. until it resolves in regime change. I think for the Israelis, regime change is the only acceptable outcome of the war, where for the United States, they'd be perfectly happy. Just sort of, they call it cutting the grass, right? Mowing the lawn. I think the Americans are happy with that arrangement. But, yeah, the Israelis, as we saw with the MOU, you know, a few months ago,

have the ability to derail negotiations, right? Like J.D. Vance had this deal on the table and then the Israeli sort of bombing southern Lebanon. So this is, I think, why a lot of people are really, really upset when Trump went into Iran because we're going to be in the situation. It's tempting. I'm sure, certainly from the Intok community's perspective, but nine times out of ten, it's getting ended up in sort of quasi-quagmire, which is where we are. Yeah, I mean, I think the American people actually, look, the American people tolerated kind of the mowing the grass, air strikes thing over Iraq for over a decade after the first Iraq war. The American people are

have shown that they're pretty comfortable with the U.S. military flying over other countries and dropping bombs. They don't want to see caskets coming home full of American kids. Yeah. So as long as the United States doesn't have a significant ground operation trying to go into Iran, I honestly think that obviously the people that are involved in politics, the people that, you know, the people that watch this show, the people that are, are, you know, politically aware, they're going to have strong opinions one way or the other about it. People in the beltway are going to have strong opinions. But your average person in, you know, Omaha or, you know,

people that live in in Minnesota or what, what have you, right? Like, if it doesn't affect them and their gas prices don't go crazy, for the most part, Americans will be like, I'm going to work. I got bills to pay. Because, you don't see America. And that's only if you don't see Americans coming home in body bags. If you start seeing a lot of Americans coming home in body bags, all bets are off. But historically, the American population is pretty comfortable with the U.S. just flying over countries and dropping bombs.

I mean, drone strikes. All that stuff is kind of par for the course now in the American psyche. And it has been for the better part of two decades, three decades. It's a status quo at this point, right? Yeah. And it's how empire works. I mean, we're the empire, obviously. This is what happened to the British.

I mean, they were kind of coasting along perfectly satisfied. with sort of what the Victorian version of going along look like until the Boer Wars. And then that's when they started to see a lot of casualties. Again, a lot of men coming home and, well, it wasn't really body bags. It was caskets. But it had a serious effect on the British psyche. And you saw them have, this is what they started pushing towards dominions, which led to Canada, obviously, and other things. But in regards to Iran, I mean, yeah, you know, Phil pointed out kind of the difference,

the X factor here is the fuel prices. I mean, this is ultimately, I think, why Americans are all. upset is because, you know, Trump, the way he's conducted foreign policy is very much a kind of old school, like, well, let's get something out of it. I'm not interested in spreading liberal democracy. I'm interested in, you know, bringing home, you know, goodies for the American people. This seemed like an ideological war in a lot of ways. I mean, I do understand the geopolitical component to it, but in a lot of ways, it felt like it was a long time coming. I mean, we've been talking about going to war with Iran for 50 years now. People are upset that it's actually costing the

American people to conduct this war. I mean, we're not. we're seeing with the oil prices. And that's why that Russia was, Russia deal was fascinating. It was like what, two and a half million barrels of diesel were buying from the Russians? I mean, a lot of that will get supplied to the global market. But you see that, you see the fact that this ceasefire that was, you know, allegedly signed between the Ukrainians and Russians are just purely over energy infrastructure? The obvious question is, are the Americans anticipating sustained high fuel prices? Are they maybe, if you're, if you're cutting a deal with the Russians, I think that indicates that there could be a potential ramp up in the conflict after the

midterms. But what's crazy right now is that the fuel prices are artificial, right? Because you've been dumping oil from your strategic oil reserve, which is almost depleted now, which I think is the lowest ever. Yeah, which is a crisis for the U.S., especially considering, you know, your biggest military force in the world, you need oil to run. We dodged a bullet with the last hurricane, but if that was a direct hit, even eating squirrels now. Yeah. So the question is, how long can it keep going? Because again, Americans are saying, okay, price is expensive. And it is.

I mean, let me tell you it's even worse in Canada. But again, it's artificially lowered than it should be. And if you guys run out of oil in that reserve, what happens? That's a great point. I mean, the entire globe right now is dumping their reserves. The entire energy market right now is propped up by governments doing everything they can. Again, at the global level, doing everything they can to keep fuel prices low. That's the terrifying thing.

The question is, how long can we sustain it? with the amount of fuel the United States has in the reserve right now that gives you about two weeks of commercial use, which is, you know, nothing. Again, I mean, again, if something serious happens, I can go get out. I haven't a bit of hurricane or just, again, sustained low imports, you know, we're in, again, like disaster terribly. It also sends a message to any adversaries. Because if there was a country out there, and I don't know which one right now, let's say

China, whatever, that wants to make a move on the U.S. if it's like a small kind of like geographical move far away from the U.S. not saying you're going to have your homeland invaded here, but they realize the U.S. can't really do much because you're running out of oil. You can't really support it unless, of course, the American people are willing to support prices that are 20, 30, 40, maybe 50 percent higher, and now you're really going to hit at home. That's going to be bad. Absolutely.

I mean, we've seen that certainly the Iranians have auspices in the United States abroad. But, I mean, you know, there was reporting, I think it was this morning, it might have been yesterday. Burnham, Andy Burnham out of Britain, he was saying that it looks like RIA Fairfield. There was Iranian fingerprints all over. And again, the involvement of the IRC, you know, remains to be seen. But if Burnham's getting out ahead of it and saying it looks like the Iranians might have been involved in some way, shape, or form, I think that's sort of labor speak for, yeah, they're involved. And so if the Iranians are in this position where I would imagine those are sleeper cells of some sort,

you know, with the border as open as it was for four years, it begs the question, okay, how many of those guys are in the United States? You know, how many of those guys are ready to, you know, walk over to a power plant and do something, you know, do something drastic. Again, you have to start thinking like that. We're in that situation. I mean, well, that's the point I think Americans didn't really understand under Biden at the time, you know, saying, okay, the border needs to be shut down. That's the reason why. Because if you don't vet people coming in, you don't know. You don't know what can be set up. And like you said, no sleeper cells. if and when and hopefully never, but if to get activated, the damage is on domestic soil. Look, you could easily have, with how many illegals across the border during the Biden administration,

you could easily have 10, 20,000 people spread out throughout across the United States that have nefarious intent, we'll just say. And in considering the numbers, that's a small fraction of the people that came in. So it's not like, oh, man, And that's, there's no way that many people came in. There was, there was at least 10 million people that were led in during the Biden administration illegally.

Possibly more, the, the number that I hear the most is 20 million. Why do you think that is that Americans seem to dismiss the possibility of something like that happening so much? Because it hasn't. Last time any foreign power laid a lick on the motherland, the homeland, rather, would have been the Japanese with the... No. September 11th. Well, yeah, but that wasn't like a direct, you know, this is the country declaring war. Like a nation state kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah. I think the last one had been the Japanese, like lighting a forest on fire in World War II. Yeah, I mean. 9-11, I think gives people this idea that, like, you know, terrorism can happen in any given moment. But as far as, like, we're at war, and then all of a sudden the country were at war laid a lick on us, that's a completely different game. But not even the idea of being at war with another country, but just a terrorist cell from another, you know, from any nation, whether you're at war or not, you know, having any type

of attack on America, Americans seemingly have dismissed that, at least the ones who aren't harsh on immigration, have dismissed the possibility of something like that happening. And kind of, it's because the discussion on immigration always comes back to empathy and always comes back to America bending over backwards to help out those less fortunate while ignoring the possibility of something really, really dangerous happening. And it's funny, too, because we were talking about it earlier today is like, Why do you think it's possible that the Democrats take on immigration has changed so drastically in the last 15 to 20 years? Well, it was economic at that time because the Democrats had a different voting block than they do now.

But in a lot of ways, it's like this discussion has become, maybe it's because we never found WMDs. So people thought that like they kind of got taken for a ride in that way, where it's like they don't imagine it can happen. Therefore, they don't, you know, think of it as a threat. So leave the borders open and who cares? Yeah, I mean, this is kind of the, they had this problem in Europe when, when Russia moved in on Ukraine, is a lot of the leaders in Germany in Western Europe broadly were trying to whip up this idea, which may or may not have been like, you know, reasonable that, look, we can be invaded at any moment and we should react accordingly. Now, obviously, since they're quite left wing, the response wasn't, well, let's beef up our military. It was just, well, let's try to get the Americans to pay for everything. But it kind of got to the point where a lot of people in the first world and the developed world

haven't quite wrapped their mind around the idea that like we could just have conflict within our borders in any given moment. And, you know, we're at war with Iran and then they deploy against some sort of sleeper cell attack in the United States. Suddenly that's the first time we've received an attack from a, you know, belligerent in a war in, you know, 100 years. So, but people can't wrap their heads around that. Same people in Europe can barely wrap their heads around that. Well, the thing is, we're indeed a Pax Americana right now, right? The great American peace since World War II, there hasn't been a worldwide conflict or any threat to America,

to North America in general. So you have generations, entire generations, they grew up in a prosperous, safe environment, and they failed to realize that their forefathers fought and died to be able to grant them that privilege. But that needs to be protected. that needs to be taken and cherished because it can happen. If it's happened before, history will repeat itself.

I mean, so I agree that there could be some kind of infiltration, right, by like sleeper cells or what have you. But the idea of a substantive military attack on the United States, that is a question of logistics that only a couple countries in the world could actually do, the United States being one of them. and nobody could do it without the United States knowing. We still have a massive advantage just because of the way that the world is, right? The Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, both of the coasts have massive mountain ranges that basically protect the interior.

The Appalachians aren't as big as the Rockies, but it's still a significant barrier. You know, you're not going to see a massive, army rolling down from Canada into the United States, into, you know, into Montana in tank country, you know, or through, through North and South Dakota and have, you know, just Americans just watch these vehicles go by like it happened in Ukraine, right? Like, there are geographical reasons why the United States is basically untouchable. And you do also have to throw in the fact that the American public is very well armed.

I mean, we have more guns than we have people. We have more guns per capita than any other country. And were a foreign army actually be able to get the logistical means necessary and get people on the border to actually drive into the U.S., like they're going to be met very quickly by, yes, regular military forces. But one of the things that you tend to do if you're an invading, army, excuse me, is you try to subdue the population. And that's just not going to happen. You can't, you're not going to disarm the American people. I mean, look at the effort that the

U.S. had to put in disarming the Afghans. And the Afghans, you know, they had weapons, but they were not nearly the, you know, equipped like the United States, like the average United States, you know, so it's the idea of some kind of. invasion into the U.S. or something like that, it's not going to happen. You could see sleeper cells, you could see terror attacks unquestionably. That's not, that's completely within the realm of reality. You can see significant attacks. You could see even things like balloons coming over, dropping bombs or something like that, but it's not going to be a situation where a massive army is going to land in the Gulf or, you know, send cutters up the Mississippi.

You know, that's not happening. For sure. To your point, what you're talking about there is power projection and only the U.S. has it. China does not have power projection. I mean, they would struggle to take Taiwan, which is off their coast. They would suffer massive casualty. So let alone go across an ocean. They only have two carriers. I mean, they don't even have. Yeah, yeah, there's... Britain has two carriers. Yeah, there's no country in the world that can touch a U.S., that's for sure, on a more conventional front. The problem now is more the unconventional front. Cyber attack, terror. That's where I would see vulnerabilities is just sort of hampering the United States,

right? I don't think, yeah, to your point, no, no one's touching the homeland. I mean, everyone's armed. But also information warfare. Like the the way America's portrayed to the rest of the world is already we're our own worst enemy in a lot of ways in that respect because you know a lot of countries dislike America just on principle in a lot of ways. And then we tend to do you know, we put ourselves in a position to be disliked. And that's very dangerous as well beyond just being attacked on your on your own soil. It's how you're perceived by the rest of the world because the world runs on trade. The world runs on relationships between countries, between people. Well, Phil brought up the point that part of the X factor for the United States is the fact that everyone's armed.

And the ATF has made it slightly easier for gun owners here. This is a fascinating story that was put on my desk five minutes before we went to the show. To go live for the show. ATF changes suppressor rules for gun owners under this guidance. The ATF will no longer enforce prior approval, registration, and tax stamp requirements for suppressors. for the people that are unaware, last year in the Big Beautiful Bill, there was

a provision that would remove short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, any other weapons and suppressors they would take the tax away. Right? So there's no, there used to be a $200 tax you had to pay. You had to send the stuff into the

ATF. The ATF would give you the stamp that said you paid the tax. This was the premise of the registration for NFA, for most NFA items. The only thing that's left in the NFA now are machine guns and destructive devices, anything basically like things that are like bombs or hand grenades or whatever. Because those you can actually own as well.

You do have to have a tax stamp for each one and they're a hassle. But any rifle that has a barrel length under 16 inches, any shotgun, I believe it's under 18 inches, and they have a random category for any other weapons and suppressors. You'd have a 200 attack stamp. the $200 fee for the for the stamp was removed so then you still had the registration but the Supreme court has heard cases against the NFA saying hey this is an infringement on the second amendment and the the argument that was presented to the court and that they found compelling was always that this isn't about regulating the weapons it's a $200 fee for the tax stamp so when you

make the stamp, make the stamp, you know, zero dollar fee, the, I believe it was in Texas where they argued, look, without the fee, the constitutionality of this is as evaporated, right? The, the argument was the $200 is why they could do it. And the judge found that that was, that was the case. He said, yeah, without the, without the $200 fee, there is no tax. That means that it's not under Congress's taxing power. You can't have a registration for guns, a federal registration, for guns. The tax stamp is gone, so, you know, you don't have to have it. Now, this was a couple weeks ago when the judge actually made this decision, and there was a question as to whether the Trump administration was going to appeal. They didn't appeal. And so we were waiting on the ATF to give

guidance because everybody's like, well, you know, I don't want to become a felon. I think the, I don't remember what the fee was, but the, you could get up to 10 years in prison for having an an NFA item without a tax stamp port. So the ATF release guidance, I believe it was Friday and basically said, look, we're not going to enforce this for anyone. Initially, it was just the people in the suit because another judge had said that we're getting rid of blanket injunctions, right? That was a couple, I think it was last year. A judge says, it's only the parties involved in the in the lawsuit that are actually going to be given relief. No more blanket injunctions nationwide. So, only the people silencer shop

GOA and a handful of other handful of states I think there was like 13 states that were a part of it and they were the people that were going to be covered under this and everyone else was still going to have to do you know do the jumping through the hoops or that that's what we assumed but the ATF has said nope we're not doing it for anybody for continuity essentially they're not going to be giving out they still allow you to register your NFA stuff if you want

with the zero tax, zero dollar tax stamp or whatever. And that's for people that are worried about possible future administration's changing this because anything that's done budgetary or any kind of fees or anything like that, all Congress has to do is pass a $1 tax and say, okay, you have to pay the tax and then the NFL will be back into effect for those particular items. But right now, in I think it's 38 states, maybe 36, You don't have to file any paperwork to own a suppressor. You don't have to do your normal 4473, which is the background check. But you don't have to file any other federal paperwork aside from your background check to buy a suppressor from any FFL.

You can sell them to friends. You can sell by them, you know, if your state allows it. There are some states that have NFA requirements or some legislation about whether or not the NFA paperwork has to be filled out for the state. I think Washington, you have to have NFA paperwork to have these things. There are some other states where there are, you know, issues with it. Some states ban NFA items outright. But in most of the country, you don't have to fill out NFA paperwork to buy

shore barrel rifles, shrewber shotguns, and destructive vices and silencers. Now, this is a really big deal because it's the first serious change of the NFA in over 100 years. Right? So the NFA, I believe it was, or almost 100 years. I think it was 1934. I'm going to, I probably got that wrong. But it's, it's a significant rollback of federal gun laws. And that's something that, you know, we haven't seen. I mean, in 90 years or something like that. So it's a big deal. How do you feel about, you know, because there's been a lot of conversations about Trump's record this year, you know,

like how people feel he's doing. It's been a huge point of contention. How, How did gun owners see both it? Because I know bump stocks were a big part of the first administration. Donald Trump is the most pro-2A president we have ever had. So it was a Trump appointee that found in favor of the plaintiffs in this particular case. It was Trump appointed Attorney General that's decided that they're not going to push the issue and appeal. It was the Trump appointed director of the ATF that came out with this. With his guidance and it was Donald Trump himself who said who told his attorney general don't appeal

So it was it was specifically from Donald Trump. I've heard from multiple people at G.O.A and people at at silencer shop that said Donald Trump himself told the attorney general don't appeal the the decision one of the criticisms for him was about red flag laws right? I'm not remembering that Donald Trump's not perfect. Yeah, and a lot of times he'll speak I mean, everybody knows he'll speak without, you know, kind of just off the cuff. And Donald Trump's not a gun guy. I believe Don Jr. is a gun guy. Oh, yeah. He's always out hunting.

Yeah. And so Don Jr. is the guy that's a little more plugged in. Trump's the higher a gun guy. Yeah, probably. Probably. Go get him. But yeah, so Donald Trump's not a gun guy. So you ask Donald Trump a question about something, and he's going to come off with a knee-jerk reaction.

And on the bump stocks, you know, he said something that was, you know, it was a bad call for gun owners. But at the same time, the Supreme Court has found that forced reset triggers are perfectly legal, right? And a forced reset trigger is a significantly better option if you want to to imitate full auto fire than a bump stock, right? there was also the red red flag law thing oh i want to get the guns first to get due process later but again that was don't trump talking off the cuff he hadn't probably had not discussed any of that with anyone in a gun group or with anyone that has a you know any any deeper knowledge than you know a teaspoon you know um so he said some bad things absolutely but the proof is in in him saying look don't appeal this.

And the director that he has, this is a crazy sentence, but director Cicada is a great ATF director. Now, I never thought that I would have anything nice to say about anybody that worked at the ATF ever. But he's gone on,

he was on Brendan Herrera's channel, talking to Brennan Herrera. Now, I think that because Brennan Herrera is, is looking like he might take the congratulations, seat there in Texas. I think that might have helped

get the director on his podcast, but at the same time, you know, he's on a Gun Tubers podcast answering questions and telling people, you know, look, this is what we're trying to do. So credit to him, the guidance is absolutely, it's actually better than we had hoped, you know, because

I didn't think that they would just say, you know what, everybody, don't worry about it for now. There are things that you might have to deal with in the future. Future legislation can change this. A new director can change this, but for now, you don't have to worry about it. It's fantastic stuff to see something in government shrinking in size. begs the question.

I mean, what's the gun situation in Canada? Yeah, it's horrible. You guys would have a heart attack. I'm a gun owner. I have a license. It's nearly impossible to get a gun, first and foremost. And it's too bad because we're a nation of proud, like we have a proud heritage of gun owners. And since 1995, we had a shooting at a school, at a university.

and then they brought forth some of the craziest gun laws ever. And then recently, the Liberal Party in 2020, started using our version of executive orders to ban guns. So we have classifications of guns. We have non-restricted, which are like shotguns and like your hunting rifle. Restricted, which is going to be your like AR-15s and your pistols. And then prohibited. That's like an AK-47.

So prohibited, you can't touch it. But non-restricted and restricted, you can get a license, two different licenses, like an escalating level of like tests and, and courses need to do. Now, I was an AR-15 owner. I had a restricted firearm. I own pistols as well. And overnight, through signing that what we call an OIC in order and counsel, they banned it completely overnight. They reclassified it, making it prohibited. So I became a criminal overnight, legally speaking, a criminal. But they put an amnesty in place saying, I can't be prosecuted until they create a buyback. And now they've been trying for six years to do a buyback. It ain't

working out. They earmarked, I think, $200 million. Now it's over a billion dollars. Not a single gun was bought back yet. It's an entire boondoggle. But they've done that after that with 1,500 other firearms. Right now, most of my guns are prohibited. They're paperweight. I'm not allowed to use them. I'm not allowed to take them now out of my house. And already our laws are priest chick, like you can only go to the range with them. They need to be locked, trigger lock, case lock, you name it. Ammo separated. But no, situation is bad. And I love listening to you guys talk about guns. keep your guns, don't give an inch, because they will take a mile. Believe me, they will.

Is it varied by province? I mean, is Alberta a little looser than, you know, Ontario? No, so that's regulated by the Criminal Code of Canada, which is federal. Except Quebec, as usual, we're special. We added, we tacked on an actual layer. So we have something called Law 9, so you need an extra course done, and you need to be a member of a gun range. If you're not, they come and take your guns. Then on top of that, the last conservative government back in the last,

like 2010, scrapped what we call the long gun registry. So even your non-restricted guns, like your

shotguns and whatnot, they were registered at the time. Then they scrapped that. So no more registration.

Well, Quebec turned around and said, screw it. We're going to enforce registration in the province only.

So a lot of Quebec gun owners started buying guns in Ontario and bring them to Quebec and not registering them.

Now, that's technically still illegal. It's not criminal because the criminal code is federal.

So unlike here where some states have their own criminal code and you have your federal code too. Us is just Canada-wide. But it's still a civil penalty. So it'll fine you several thousands of dollars

and confiscate your guns, your property, if you don't register them. It's so fascinating hearing other, I mean, I was talking to Australian about the same thing recently. And it's like, as late as the 90s, they had basically, gun laws basically on par with us. And this is what it sounds like with Canada. So if you go back to the 1970s,

probably just as easy enough time buying a firearm in Canada versus here just to see the total. It makes you thankful. for the United States that the 2A is so rigid. Because I don't think that we're like, you know, uniquely special compared to Australia or Canada. It's just our forefathers have the foresight to like make it untouchable in the Constitution, which gives us a lot of leeway. I think that's absolutely fantastic.

I mean, Phil, does this sound like to read like to go in Canada? Canada? No. Well, I mean, I've been to Canada a lot. And, you know, the Canadian people are great. It's a great time to go up there and play shows and stuff. I have friends that, you know, it is possible to go up there and go hunting and stuff. I think you have to borrow guns.

I don't think you can bring guns across the... You can, but they fall within, like, our regulation. So, for example, if it's a short barrel rifle or shotgun, then it would be prohibited. But if you have, like, a good old bolt action, you can definitely bring it. There's paperwork to do, which you're allowed to bring in. So, yeah, I mean, I don't intend to... I mean, there's states that I won't live in, you know, because of gun laws. So I'm certainly not looking to renounce my U.S. citizenship to move to Canada.

I'm not particularly fond of the cold. Although, I mean, look, being from New Hampshire, we're not that far from the Canadian border, and we get about the same. You probably have cousins. I mean, Labonte, you probably. Oh, I have family that my great, great-grandfather came down from Canada.

Yeah, so you guys are probably like six cousins or something? Maybe, maybe. Because not that many of us relative. Not that many of you guys up there. But, yeah, I mean. New Hampshire, you said, right? Yeah, well, I mean, I'm from Massachusetts originally. I live in New Hampshire now.

I love that state motto. Live free or die. Yeah, you know. It's the best. And, you know, of all the states, like New Hampshire consistently clocks in at the freest or the second freest, depending on your metric or whatever. But, you know, the freestaters in New Hampshire, the libertarians up there, they're the real good libertarians. They're very, they're fiercely protective of their rights.

And they're smart. They've done, they've done what, you know, what you should do, which is find the most viable political vehicle and get yourself and your friends elected and and and and and pass laws that suit your political uh preferences so like the freestaters the free staters have put a lot of pressure and and believe me there's a lot of a lot of progressives that had moved to to new hamps from massachusetts because they didn't like paying massachusetts tax but they kept voting like they were from massachusetts uh the freestators came in and they started running and they've done done absolutely wonderful things. There's only a handful of, not even a handful, there's a very few actual gun laws in

New Hampshire and usually those are fishing game laws. They're not a, they're not about actually, you know, prohibitions on what you can carry. You can own anything you want in New Hampshire. They don't basically don't have gun laws. There's, you know, no permit or anything to carry a gun concealed. You know, you can own, there are more machine guns in New Hampshire than any, per capita than any other state. I love that. Legal. Legally owned machine guns.

I think it's great. And you can tell the Libertarian Party in New Hampshire was doing so well because they got kicked out of the national. Yes, they did. They're winning too much. That's right. They were too based for the actual cucked libertarian party. Well, we're going to move.

We're going to grab another ad here. I do want to grab some of these super jets that were coming in. Wyatt Caldenberg says Tate in World War II, Japan occupied the Western Aleutian Islands for over a year. They executed the American. who were living there, there were battles too. Yeah, you have to go like really far out. But yeah, in the Western Aleutians, the Japanese,

there was some skirmishes with the Americans. As far as on the mainland, kind of unknown, the Japanese were able to launch a balloon. And it ended up lighting a forest on fire in Oregon. I don't think anyone got, I think a firefighter got hurt. I think it was the only casualty on the American mainland. Japanese were very impolite to the Americans in the 40s.

Yeah, you know. Very impolite. And, you know, how far they've come. with Hello Kitty and selling underwear. Like a balloon full of plague fleas over here. Really? Yeah, they were doing these like cartoonish

like setting traps, you know, like dropping pianos from balloons and stuff. Wiley coyote shit, you know. Yeah, it was really wacky and wild. Also, let's see, this is from E.B. Door, he says, R.P. RJ Middy, a.k. Walter Flynn White Jr. gone far too. He was the guy from a, what was

it um breaking bad breaking bad i've never seen it the son yeah he uh i believe he had cerebral palsy and yeah obviously he had cerebral palsy in the show as well and uh it's a really sad story i don't i don't want to uh say too much about it because i'm hearing things um but yeah 34 years old you know living with cerebral palsy is rough i i can't imagine that kind of uh you know that how how tough that is, but, you know, my thoughts are with his family and friends. That's horrible. Well, on that note, we're going to capitalize

and run an ad real quick, and then we'll join you guys for the second half of the show. Keat.io, head over to k-e-e-e-t-e-tt. I-O-Ford-S-T-E-R-L and download it.

I don't know. That makes me really uncomfortable. That's right. It does. Most of us have already accepted the technology companies collect enormous amounts of information, what we click, where we go, what we buy, who we interact with. What information is valuable because your attention. I'm sorry, that information is valuable because your attention is valuable. Keat takes a radically different approach.

This was a stat that I did not believe when he told me, so I had to look it up and you weren't lying. You're a trustworthy guy, so I probably should assume that. This is from Vaz. This is all over. This is just a random outlet I picked out here. More euthanasia death. in Canada than gun homicides in the United States, that is stunning because, you know, we hear what's going on at the maid, you know, you broke your leg and they try to kill you or whatever.

When you put it into that context, something that Americans, you know, have this perception is very widespread, which it is, is gun homicides, and then the Canadians are at the hands of the government. I mean, this is unbelievable stuff. Yeah, well, that's the state of Canada nowadays. It's easier to, you know, off people. than it is to fix the issues we have in our country. Look, initially, I think it came from a compassionate place.

It was supposed to be for people with terminal illness that were, you know, compassionate end of life, as we called it. They were suffering and they just couldn't take it anymore. I get that. It's mutated now into a off-ramp for anyone and for any reason. And at a point right now we're discussing in our parliament that they want to be able to offer made to people with mental illness. the people the most vulnerable to this entire thing,

they want to offer it to them. But the reality is that, and it's going to sound so grim, our healthcare system is so overloaded, and now with the boomer is getting a little bit older, retiring and requiring more medical care, the system can't accommodate it. So there's rumors, and I can't vouch and confirm this, but there's rumors that is just a tool used to be able to offload

or to lessor the burden on the medical system in Canada. It certainly seems, I mean, this is what I've seen on Twitter, at least. You know, it's neither here nor there, but people saying for the more costly or medical bills are going to be some sort of computer and the medical office spits out, kill this guy. It's like a math problem. Well, this is the argument that the conservatives were making about, in America, we're making about the ACA here in, like, 2012. You know, the idea that it was turned into a boogeyman of death panels, right? you know who's going to decide but the reality is there's a limited number of doctors there's a limited number of or there's a limited amount of you know services that can be given out and as boomers

get older they're going to be taking you know they're going to be looking at okay who is likely to last longest are we going to extend this person's life by two years and spend this much money the end of life care is where the vast majority of your lifetime expense on health care will be, right? You're going to spend, if you spend just for easy numbers, if you spend $100,000 on health care in your entire life, you're going to spend like 80 of it most likely in the last two to five years, trying to extend your life by a couple years. Nowadays with our system, although it's expensive, people, not everybody, and people have

to deal with insurance companies and stuff. stuff, but you have the option, and it's not something the government's involved in. If you have a single payer system, the government gets a say, you know, and there's also the arguments about, hey, look, you know, if you're going to live on a healthy lifestyle, why should I pay for your health care? I know Canadians aren't, don't have the same kind, don't have as extreme weight problems. We're getting there. We're getting there right behind.

But yeah, you know, it is a reality of like, look, if we're paying for your health care, then the government, the people are going to have a say in what you're allowed to eat, you know, how much you exercise because exercise and diet are major, you know, factors in how healthy you are overall. And these are realities that Canada is seeing. Now, obviously, medical assistance in dying is a different animal than just health care overall. But the question does become, well, is it worth saving this? person's life? Is it, you know, how long can we really expect to extend their life because they've got 60 years of treating their body like it's a party and now they're 75 and they're falling apart? Can we get them to 80? How much is it going to cost to get them to 80? And that calculation becomes real when the government is actually making that and you're seeing it in Canada, obviously extending down to basically anyone they can get, anyone that feels like they want. to, you know, end their life, the government's like, step right up. Yeah. No, it's completely messed up. And I know there's a big push from the left in America

to have a single-payer system like Canada. My advice, don't do it. It's horrible. I had the chance to live in the U.S. I lived in Florida for a couple years. And I had the chance to use the American healthcare system. And it blew my mind. It blew my mind. I was at the gym. I busted my shoulder. So I'm like, okay, I need to go see a doctor. And I thought, okay, just like in Canada, I'm going to have to go and wait hours in the hospital, like the emergency room. Instead, I called the primary care physician, and they told me right away, come tomorrow 9 a.m. I was mind-blown. Like, tomorrow, next day appointment, sure. So I go in, and I start talking to the doctor next day, and I'm rushing through it, right? I'm speeding through it,

because I'm used to being treated like a number, like cattle in Canada, where they have five minutes to talk to you, on to the next. She stopped me, and she's like, slum. And she's like, down, slow down. She started asking me about my history, family history, medical history. I was like, wow, you're training me like a human being. So then she looks at me, examines me, takes a whole half hour. And then she tells me, look, I'm going to have to send you to imaging. You need an MRI. So I'm like, okay, how does it work?

She's like, I'm going to send a script out. They'll contact you to book an appointment. So okay, I drive back home five minutes while driving back home. I get a call. Hey, this is Bowie's Imaging Center. Am I talking to Elliot? Yeah, it's me. What's up? So this is to book an appointment.

when are you available? So I said, what's the soonest appointment you have? Expecting two, three, four weeks maybe. She's like, how about 9 p.m. tonight? I was like, same day? She's like, yeah. You guys are open that late? She's like, yeah.

Again, I'm coming from a place where I would have had to wait months. So I'm like, sure, nine is good. She's like, okay, so who are you insured with? I'm like, oh, I'm uninsured. I'm going to pay out of pocket. And I'm bracing. She's like, I'm going to have to let you know

it's going to be, and I'm like expecting. Again, you hear stories in Canada. It's going to cost me, like, I'm going to have to remortgage my property. So it's going to be $325. $325. I work with that. Sure. No stress.

So I go that night, the kindest people ever, get the results the next day. Everything's fine, you know, take some ibuprofen, some Tylenol, everything's good. I'm freaking out. I call back home. I call my mother. I'm like, you won't guess it. You won't believe this. I tell her the entire story.

And then she tells me that she has a friend who needed a non-emergency MRI as well in Canada. And going through the public system would have been six months wait. So she decided to go through the private system because we also have like an accessory private system, everything out of pocket. And through the private system had to wait two weeks, longer than what I had to wait in Florida. And it cost her $1,200, more expensive than in America.

So since that day, I realized that all the lies we've been told in Canada is BS. It's not true. Now, don't get me wrong. There are some issues here too with the healthcare system, and there are some people that are uninsured, from what I rate, it's about 10% of the population,

or don't have any coverage. But nonetheless, you don't want to do like we do in Canada. Like, I'm, my, my back is busted, okay? Like, I injured myself again at the gym. And I'm so busy, I can't find a time to go to the hospital to wait, because that's what I'm going to have to do. Wait to go see a GP, a general care practitioner, as this called, and get a referral to go get an MRI done.

I don't have the time. And I wish I was in the U.S., like back in a day, where I could get it done in 24 hours and just pay out of pocket. So you guys have it good and you just don't realize it. Anyone that has money in Canada goes to the U.S. anyways to get treated. It's faster and it's better care. Because if you go in there with your back, they'll just shoot you. Yeah, at that point for sure.

And here's the crazy stats. In Canada, the entire country, we have less MRI machines than most states do. Wow. That's nuts. I mean, there are only 60 million Canadians, so. Yeah, 40, 40. 40. Yeah, even less.

Not because I'm made, now there's only 40. It has been a lot of, you know, a lot of people taking Maid. Well, it's crazy. I mean, these stats, world's fastest growing, assisted dying program, okay. Maid is now tied with cerebrascular diseases, the fifth leading cause of death in Canada. Okay. Maid assessors and providers do not treat it like a last resort. The percentage of Maid requests that are denied continues to decline.

That currently it's at 3.5%. So you have a 97% chance of getting your maid request approved. What are they denied? Like, it's like a broken finger. Surely they're declined now. Who knows? Well, some doctors refuse to offer it on moral grounds. I get it.

But the problem is you have these, I don't want to call them crazy, like, woke doctors. But there are some of those. So one guy, he got like 400 people in one year. There you go, right? You got like the doctor's a death. He's got a big picture of Dr. Kavorkian up in his house. Like framed. What do they think they're doing the right thing?

they think they're doing people a favor. But again, there are some folks out there that are truly legitimately suffering and they're terminal. There's nothing that can be done. I get it and I respect that. But nonetheless, I don't think it's something the state should be paying.

I believe in freedom. I believe people should be free to do whatever they want. I'm a huge libertarian in that regard. But I don't think, especially considering I'm paying for it with my taxes, I should not be helping people end their days. Yeah, I'm pretty opposed. just on ethical grounds.

I'm like, just ride it out. Just ride it out. Just see what happens. You never know. Especially in Canada's case. You broke your arm. It'll heal. I mean, I get like, you know, the worst case scenario.

You know, you have some sort of like chronic, you know, disease that you're just being tort. And you know you're going to die in three weeks anyway. I feel like we've always had sort of solutions for that. And it's kind of one of the, you know, it's when you're engaging in all sorts of debates, people will take the worst case scenario. And you're like, well, okay, if I'm to accept, you know, we can, a debate with the worst case scenario, then you should be willing to, you should be willing to

concede that all of these other reasons why you would, for example, use made are purely, you know, that's over the top, right? It's kind of the same thing with abortion, where you're like, be debating abortion. They're like, yeah, what about, you know, like, you know, rape or something like that? And you're like, well, that's, you know, exceptionally small proportion of abortions. What about the 99%? That's kind of what we need to be debating over. You know, same thing that happens with Maid. And, yeah, that seems like the logical endpoint. It's a market. You know, it's a market. So the computer is going to spit, yeah, this person is going to cost us too much money, offer made.

And, you know, the amount of mentally ill people these days, a lot of people jump at the opportunity. People jump at the opportunity to destroy their lives so quickly without made anyway. But it's even worse than that. There are instances now, reports, and this is being reported on, where you have elderly who don't request made or offered made. They say, I'll consider it. And then they're fast-tracked. And the problem is a lot of these elderlies are voluntary. They don't necessarily have all the understandings.

And there was this article just a couple weeks ago where this, the grandkids, or maybe even the kids that came out publicly and said, my mother did not want to use maid, and they forced it on her. And I mean, even me, closer to home, my grandmother, now she's gone. But at the time when she was in her last few weeks of life, she was offered maid. And she said it time and time again, I refuse. I refuse. She's very religious.

So for her it was a non-Avenue. But just a thing that is being offered Again, you go to a hospital, you go to the healthcare system, nurses, doctors, for care, not to end your life. Like you're like filling out the form, you accidentally check the maid box, and you're like, oh.

Slime me out box, and you're like, I just throw you out the room. Yeah, literally. There is something to me that, you know, there's been stories for as long as stories have been told in movies and television about the ethical quandaries of what happens when pain gets to be too much. And it doesn't just have to be a story about somebody who's at the end of their life.

I mean, it can be stories about people with severe depression, people with severe mental illness. And there's always an interesting discussion to be had in that form about, you know, at what point do you stop living for you and you start living for somebody else? And that's all interesting and very analytical. but that's like to me the idea that it would get as far as being co-signed by the government and being something that ends up on a balance sheet is just even I can't look at that and be like that's a bridge too far yeah well we're at a point two in Canada where our budget's so screwed

we're just not capable of making it means just just the idea of the I understand that it's I understand that it's done in other ways that it's something that we do when we send kids to war that human beings as lines on a balance sheet after a fact has always been, it's a fact of governance, right? I understand that. But there's something so nihilistic and utterly modern about that, that we've taken it so far to that end point. And maybe that does have to do with entering into a more secular society than perhaps we've ever been, and that has something to do with it. But it is depressing to think about, absolutely. And it's depressing to think that my country now is known for that. It's not known for, I don't know,

puts in and maple syrup anymore, or I don't know, being good at a hockey, not anymore. I don't know, maple syrup is still pretty high on the list. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. We produce, I think, 90%. Actually, Quebec produces 90% of Canada's and Canada produces 80% in the world. Vermont has some good maple syrup, too, I think.

A little bit. But, you know, it's despicable, I find, that we're at a point now where this, no only it's being offered, but we're topping the charts where, again, people now are using or dying more through maid than guns in America. Who is she number one at something, though?

Can't finally. See, gun control works. Yeah, there you go. No, but we've lost a moral high ground, right? Because, again, in Canada, they love to attack the U.S. on the guns, guns, guns. It's like, okay, guys, well, at least, you know, Americans are not dying because they're government. You can, you can, you know, as the resident gun guy, you can remove about 20 or 30 neighborhoods from the equation and the U.S. Like safer than like Switzerland.

Yeah, it becomes safe. It becomes on par. with European. I thought it was like three or four cities. I'm guessing. Right. It's really like you can you just take out, you know, a handful of not, and again, not even cities, but just neighborhoods, you know.

Just one fan group of a music genre. And you're, you know, the American, you know, gun violence numbers basically evaporate. Absolutely. And again, when I was living in Florida, I was in Sarasota County, which is, one of the counties with the most concealed carry weapons licenses. And you know what? It's safe as hell. The other day, I was at Walmart and saw two open carries at the Walmart.

It's one place I don't want to see your own place. No, no. Both of these gentlemen looked like the prime of reverence for their firearms. I hope that's because I go to Walmart and if people are open carrying, it's like they're hoping they have a target of fire. They're like, just try it. Just try it. Look, man, again, I'm as prime. Pro 2A as it comes carry however you want to carry

For me and if anyone were to ask my recommendation Don't open carry because then you make yourself a target If the you know if the day comes you know the where you have to use it There's someone that's like oh you know decides they're gonna shoot up the mall or whatever that you're at They're gonna be shooting at you so you know you might want to keep the element of surprise Yeah, which is a huge benefit one dude who's also carries like four o'clock or five so it wasn't even like it's like too far back it Yeah somebody could like you know with the within, you know, outside the waistband holder.

Yeah, I've seen people at Walmart that literally have a tour, you could just walk up behind them and grab it. Because they're quick, he's like carrying in a quick draw holster. I'm like, no, that could. Okay, do you don't have any of retention. Like, no retention holster. Yeah. I mean, and look, you can, if you're,

I carry appendix because, you know, you can bend over. And there are people that get weird about that. They're like, oh, I'm not going to point it at my body. And it's like, yeah, I get it. You do. And if you're going to carry appendix, you should practice before you load it and make sure you're comfortable with it. but like if you're trying to get fast like so i'm just to carry around a crossbow there you go

yeah why not strapped on the rod sword i have a rocket launcher just on my back and a riot shield that you need uh you need to have an NF a attack stamp for the uh for the rocket launcher okay yeah that's my plan is like concealed carry a rocket launcher yeah 200 dollars for every round and you have to have you have to have an ATF uh official there when you when you set it off so It's a big hassle to carry. I'll FaceTime them. I'm like, hey, I'm self-defense situation. Just make sure you, this is cool.

Check your local laws. You know, I'm only a lay person. It's a hassle to have explosives. I used to hold up the gas stations with rocket launchers. Yeah, there's a lot of things you can do in GTA that you can't do in real life. Maybe not in New Hampshire, though. New Hampshire, you can get away with a lot of stuff.

You can get away with a lot. I want to ask you another question about because we have you here. And I want to subject to the audience to to Canadian politics because a lot of this has a lot of salience, American politics, we don't realize people just want to hear

about the SAVE Act all day long or Elon Omar and it's like that's great and all but when you go a bigger picture, Canada, once again we've said it a million times, really is this cautionary tale. One place I see some hope, correct me if I'm wrong,

is the separatist movements that one allows places like Quebec and Alberta to determine their own destiny but secondarily kind of puts a black eye on the Canadian government on Ottawa and sort of maybe gives them a reality check. I mean, this is from The Guardian. The results coming in last week. Separatists win in Quebec.

Does that bring Canada any closer to separation? Lack of majority puts any referendum in doubt. But again, we got this new guy coming in. I'm going to butcher his name, Paul St. Pierre Plamadon. Amazing. There we go. Let's go. He's kind of this mixed bag, right?

He's kind of socially conservative, fiscally liberal, kind of mixed bag. but interesting nonetheless? Yeah, well, the party tends to be, it's a left-leaning party for sure, but in the last few years there's been more and more right-leaning individuals partaking in it. Now, the big thing with,

and we call him PSP for short, because nobody says his entire name anyways. SPP, that's cool. So even that's pretty long. But his number one thing is immigration. It's protecting the culture and the nation of Quebec, if we can call it that.

Sure, they want to bring a referendum. I don't know if it's going to pass. A lot of people don't know this, but Quebec tried twice already, once in 1980, once in 1995. 1980 was not even close. 1995 came damn close. We're talking less than 1%. So it was like, oh, yeah, yeah, it was less than 51.49.

So it came damn close to passing. He wants to bring it back. Go ahead. I know, sorry, I thought you were going to... Well, I'm just wondering, if Quebec were to become its own nation, do you think that that would cascade and have... because I know there's a talk about Alberta, and I don't know about the other provinces,

but do you think that would be something where, like, basically Canada is just Ottawa? Yeah, well, there are the West. If Alberta separates, then Saskatchewan is joining as well. They're two very wealthy provinces, two very conservative provinces. The problem in Alberta is that they don't have the support. I wish they did.

I want Alberta to separate. I think it's the greatest province. They don't have the support, sadly. They're going to have a referendum in a few. weeks and it's probably not going to pass. Quebec has a little bit more of a leg to stand on. Not a like to stand on, okay, Alberta has a like to stand on, but Quebec has a historical and cultural difference. First of all, sure, we speak French. We use a different set of laws in Quebec. We use the civil law, French derived, versus the common law and duress of Canada.

So if you're a lawyer in Quebec, can't practice in Canada and vice versa. And due to our history of being technically colonized, because we lost to war against the Brits, and that's why it's not French anymore. We've always been very reclusive living in a silo. Now, the thing in Quebec, it's still not super popular. It's maybe 30%-ish support for separation. What it does, though, and it's always good for Quebec and the politicians and the government of Quebec, it buys them kind of a card to use with Ottawa, with the federal government. And that's how we get all these low freebies, like being in charge of our immigration system,

which is only Quebec does that compared to other provinces, like receiving entitlements and programs and money. So Quebec likes to use that card to get back. bigger favors from Ottawa. Now, keep in mind, though, Quebec is still the province with the high support for the current Prime Minister of Canada Carney. He's nowhere in Canada is he more popular than in Quebec for some reason. It's wild. Yeah, and again, it's because of this America bad, Trump, Trump, Trump all the time. That's all we talk about. Wall-to-wall coverage in Canada is just how Trump is horrible and wants to take over Canada. And yes, he joked about it. The whole,

like, we're going to, you know, take over Canada. That was, again, he helped the liberals like he has no idea. Now, mind you, he said before, and I've heard him speak about it, he said, I'd much rather deal with a liberal government than a conservative government. Because, you know, conservatives are a little bit wiser. They're not dumb. I was going to say, can we say retard? Yes, of course. Good. Again, I'm from Canada. Who knows? Yeah, well, so the conservatives are not retarded. So, obviously, as a businessman, Trump would rather deal with a weaker opponent. So if that was the goal, it worked. It definitely worked. But now we're all suffering up north because of that. It's fascinating stuff.

I have a soft spot for Quebec. I remember Tucker Carlson was saying this to, I think it was the Nelk Boys. He was on their show or the other way around. Such a weird thing to even hear. I know. Tucker or the Nelke boys. And Tucker said something about Quebec.

And the Nalk Boys like, yeah, you want to like dunk on Quebec together? And Tucker's like, no. They're the only province that like stands up for themselves. And that always was my take. I'm like, well, the Anglo-Canadians have kind of rolled over where at least the French Canadians are still, a bit of fight left in them. Well, that's the thing, right?

For the longest time, the rest of Canada hated Quebec because of it. Because we were, you know, maybe a little reclusive. Maybe we wanted to preserve our culture. And we have some crazy laws, too. Don't get me wrong. Like, French laws in Quebec are wild.

Like, they will fine you if your business is not conducted in French. If your signs are not in French. I mean, KFC. The American, like, we should do that here with English. Which blows my mind because America does not have an official language. No. I mean, I thought we did. Trump administration, the Trump,

the, you'd have to have to have. Congress passed the law. The Trump administration has made an executive order about English being the – Look at this. This is – in France, it's called KFC. Yeah, but here it's called PFK for Pau-Afri-K-K-K. It's literally a transaction. It's crazy. Some of the best shows, all it remains, a handful of the best shows we've ever played in Quebec. Oh, yeah? It's an awesome. So did people call it that before? Oh, no, we all call it PFK. That's how we call it. Well, in French, PFK. But nonetheless, the thing is now,

the rest of Canada is looking at Quebec and saying, okay, maybe these crazy French people had a, you know, they're doing it right. Because again, we've had crazy immigration in Canada to a point where some cities are 82% plus Indian or, you know, Sikh. And they're looking at Quebec being like, okay, you guys were onto something at one point. And now with that new premier, PSP,

I mean, he was on stage saying that, and this is controversial in Canada to say, but that mass migration suppresses wages, mass migration suppresses fertility rate in the domestic population. And in Quebec, we're like, yeah, we like that. Now, the rest of Canada is looking to us. And people that were critical of Quebec on the right, because, again, everyone loved to dunk on Quebec.

They're now looking at that premier being like, yeah, he's the most based politician in the entire country. Maybe we should be a little bit more like these crazy French people. Yeah, I love it. I mean, I've been to Quebec. And I mean, I'm a wasp, so I would, in theory, have a lot of problems. I found it surprising, A, that the French Canadians are pretty apprehensive when they first meet someone like me because they think I'm an Anglo-Canadian. And then when they find I'm American, they're like delighted.

They're like, oh, no way. Like, we love, you know, et cetera, which is, I found funny. But also, I just, I really liked the, because it's this, it's weird because it's European feeling probably because of the French language and the, there's infrastructure and that sort of thing. but the layouts of the cities were like American cities so people were driving pickup trucks but then they would have like window stickers in French and for sure it's like kind of a French country music almost sounding

it's like it was so it's one of the strange and I mean this as a compliment it's one of the most strange places I think in planet Earth because it's just got this weird combination of Europe and America and it all comes together there and we also have something called joie de vivre which translates to like the pleasure

the joy of life we love to have a good time and that's why I'm not surprised when you say you play shows up there and people are super nice it's like in Montreal you can go out on your own and you will make friends like Americans are super friendly especially in the south love it but people from Quebec are probably some of the friendliest people to party with ever downright I believe that yeah it's fascinating well you're talking about how how they control their immigration laws and this manifests with like basically requiring French of the immigrants which has done an excellent job at keeping immigrants from flooding the building the province. But yeah, when I went to Montreal, there's Haitians everywhere. Yeah, that's the thing. Bad for the dogs and cats. Definitely.

Although, you know what? For stray dogs and cats, maybe it's good. We don't have animal control. It's just like made for dogs. There's just being Haitians. There you go. We're keeping it resistant. What?

Is that out of mine? No, it's funny. But the thing is, yeah, so instead of taking, so Canada's taken massive amounts of people from India. Okay. I mean, at this point, Canada's probably the second country, or third, and I'm not even making this up.

Country with the most Indians after India. I know. Okay? But Quebec were still very much, it's a lot of former French colonies, a lot of former African French colonies, a lot of Haitians,

some Middle Eastern, because they used to be under French rule as well. But it's kept the province right now. I think Quebec is the province with the most still ethnically Canadian in the entire country. And it makes a difference. Again, I was in Toronto this week,

twice, back and forth and back and forth to be on a show and to cover the Quebec election on a news station. And you land in Toronto, and it's a culture shock in your own country. It's stunning. Well, it's stunning if you step in a –

I stepped in a pile of shit literally the second I walked out. It's – yeah, you feel like a minority in your own country. It happens so quick. I was reading about how Toronto – every mayor of Toronto was a member of the Orange Order, which for people that know is like this very, very British Protestant fraternal order, like Knights of Columbus basically for Protestants. Every member – highly unionist. This is like if you are a proud British subject,

you were in the Orange Order. And every mayor of Toronto until the 1970s was a member of the Orange Order. There was British authors in the 50s and 60s and even the 70s saying Toronto is the most British-feeling city in the world. Like the rate of demographic overhaul was rapid. And it's like you lost a war. I mean, that's literally what it felt like in Toronto. I'll never forget. I was there two years ago. And I'm on the ferry to City Island so I can get the view of the skyline. And when I'm a when I was a kid, and I'm 25, when I was a kid, this stereotype about Canada was, that was this obnoxiously white place, like it was comically white, and everyone had these kind of very white people values of like being super polite and kind of meek and whatever.

So, you know, I knew things had changed in Canada a bit, but I was stunned going to Toronto, and I'm on this ferry to City Island, and I'm not making this up. I'm not, there's no hyperbole or, you know, putting any spin on it for dramatic sake. About 500 people on this ferry, the only non-South Asian person on this ferry. I get over to City Island, again, it's almost entirely South Asians. They're playing their Bollywood music or whatever. Everything smells weird.

They're cooking strange things. And I'm just like, what is, what has happened? Because Toronto has the bones of a very beautiful city. I mean, the university there is stunning. Once again, it looks like it was plucked from Britain and dropped in Canada. and I'm just seeing it just get pissed away. And again, in 30, 40 years, you know, it's like you lost, and I'm not saying this is like a demoralization thing.

It's just because I think Canadians would agree with me. And it's isn't the case in Quebec. Like Montreal still feels, you know, Montreal, but a lot of the surrounding areas still feel distinctly Canadian. Still feel distinctly French Canadian. Toronto, it's gone. It really is. It's not hyperbole to say it feels like you are in, yeah,

some sort of weird middle ground, like maybe like Doha, right? It's like a lot of Indian workers. It's just so strange. And there's Canadian nowhere to be seen. I saw one Canadian guy on the subway and he was looking at me like, again, like he was a POW or something. And it's, I look at, and he looks at me. He's like, what are you doing here?

I'm like, what are you doing here? It's just the weirdest. Yeah, it's the weirdest. I've never seen anything like it. Not even in America, not even like New York or L.A. It's like Toronto is just, maybe besides Dallas, uniquely bad in this regard. And it's not just Toronto. worst part you got suri in bc's just as bad and and now you have you know you mentioned the

the mayors of toronto now the mayor of toronto is is a woman named olivia chow we like to call her or rivio chow because she doesn't speak english so and and just listening to her is is a meme watching her videos is ridiculous but we're at a point right now even in our politics where you have writings you know it's like districts for you guys writings where it doesn't matter which candidate of which party conservative liberal ndp they're all wearing turbans you know And we're at a point where, again, because the demographic of that writing is purely South Asian. And it makes you wonder again, like, what is Canada anymore? And it does feel like an invasion.

And people now are starting to pushback. So immigration used to be a, okay, it was never contentious in Canada. We used to be super pro-immigration. Now it's still not contentious. We're super against immigration. But we don't have like a Donald Trump, a politician in Canada who's willing to stand up. And to end this, it except for this premier right here.

And we even have something crazy in Canada. It's called the Century Initiative. And it's a bunch of like elitist Canadian, you know. What they want to do is bring Canada to 100 million people by the year 2100. To give you an idea, we're at 40 million. So that's more than doubling the population. It's impossible. We went from 35 million to 40-ish million in the span of two decades and everything collapsed.

Our infrastructure collapsed. Our job market collapse. I mean, just this week, we announced we lost another 68,000 jobs. To put this in perspective for America, because 6,8,000 jobs, who cares? It's like if America lost over half a million jobs in one month, in one month. So our economy, our unemployment rate in Canada is at 6.5%. It's 4.2% in America. Right.

So you guys are like, we're 40%, 43% higher than American unemployment rate. Well, because I remember, like, if you go and you look at what John Kerry ran on, what Al Gore ran on, what especially Obama ran on, they're always making appeals of Canada. They're saying Canada is this, Canada does that exceptionally well. And that would have had a lot of salience with Americans at the time. They'd be like, yeah, Canada does do that well. And then after Obama 08, Democrats stopped doing that.

Like Biden, I bet you could go through and they didn't once appeal to Canada as some sort of model for some sort of social program. It just completely... Except for Sanders who keeps talking about a single-payer system. Yeah, yeah. Even then, it's like they'll just say, oh, we could have one like, I don't know,

Australia or Sweden or Sweden. You'll use Sweden, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like Canada just stopped being the stand-in for perfect utopian society. Now we, like, try to ignore it. I think, well, people on the left try to ignore it. And it's so shocking. The South Asian thing, in particular, for whatever reason, they like moved to a country.

Well, it's not for whatever reason. They're highly nepotistic. They moved to a country, and they are immediately their first instinct. I need to run for office. Like, we have this, like, Sri Thanadar guy. I don't know if he won his seat or not, if he's still in Congress. He's, like, the goofiest. Shre Tandiri.

Yeah, goofiest guy I've ever seen, like a cartoon character, and he's like a total fob. Like he got off the boat yesterday. And it's like, he doesn't speak any English. And I'm like,

what is going, am I being pranked? I thought it was like an S&L skit. But these people, they show up and their first instinct is run for office. As if their country's something to replicate, at least when the British came to India,

it's like, hey, we're going to make you more like Britain. That's, yeah, at the time, a great thing. We'll improve things. Yeah. But coming from India, it's like,

No, actually, you need to shut up and watch how we do things. Well, enjoy. The second thing they do is they run for office. The first thing is they bring all their cousins, their grandparents, and everything else. That's number one. But, I mean, again, it's in Canada right now, it's a cautionary tale. Immigration is not bad when it's done properly, when it's done to augment. Canada actually used to have the envy of the world for immigration system because we use a point-based system.

It was purely merit-based. You needed to have education, income, experience, be married. It all counted for a point into getting you into the door. The Liberal Party, when it came into power in 2015, they did away with all of this. And then our system, Canada used to be a high trust society. So a lot of our institutions and our systems are put in place for people that are high trust. Sadly, some cultures are not based on high trust societies. So we are rife with scams.

They are scamming the system. We used to have, we still do. We call them diploma mills. So you could come to Canada. on a student visa. So what started happening? A bunch of South Asians start opening colleges,

fake colleges. And instead of teaching people there, they would only print out those kind of transcripts, you know, letters of offer for a program. And they would use that to get visas.

And then they started importing them. And it became a racket where people would be making money on basically offering visas. Same thing with companies. Tim Horns, it's the most, Canadian thing. We used to be, it was sold to the Brazilians. But Tim Horns used to be the icon of

Canada. Now Tim Horns, we call it Jeet Hortons for very obvious reasons. They started using what we call TFWs, temporary foreign workers. And to do that, you need an LMIA, a labor market impact assessment. You have to show that you've tried to hire domestically and you just couldn't. Most Tim Horns, you go on the government website for LMIAs and it's just Tim Horns, Tim Horns, You're telling me you can't find a guy in school, a student. Like a donut in a microwave. I mean, I used to work at Timmy's when I was 16. That was my summer job.

Yeah. So they rather import people from those countries. And the reason why is because they put them up 20 apiece in a house. They work slave wages. Yeah. They don't know any better because they don't have the cultural and historical ties to the country. They don't necessarily understand what's normal and what's not normal. I don't know what's going on.

And it's being called now modern day slavery. That's basically what it is. But who's the, not only are they suffering, these immigrants, but on top of that, the real losers in this are the Canadians, the students, the, you know, low skilled workers, they can't find jobs. Our youth unemployment rate, that's anything under 24, stands at upwards of 14%, which is, again, one of the highest numbers we've ever seen. So people are suffering whereby, again, back in the days, summer jobs, you'd go, you'd hand out your CV, your resume, to a few places, you'd find a job. Now, they had a Costco a couple weeks ago, open up a couple positions, and there was a video that popped up. There was a line of over a thousand people for a handful of Costco positions. Yeah, this is a Tim Hortons, and it says hundreds of Indian students lined up.

That's, and this is not a joke. This is not like made up. That's not AI. This was one of the 20 pictures are going with, just on recursary search. And people just don't understand, unless you're Canadian, of course. In Canada, we know that reality. And again, we're super anti-mass migration now. We still want the proper people who come in. We still think that they can benefit a country. But we want to end this lunacy, but the government doesn't want to. They are by indirectly important voters, because whenever they get the right to vote,

they tend to vote liberal, of course. And it's making a docile population. And a lot of our... So Canada's economy is based on oligopolis. We have like three telecoms, three grocery stores, three media companies. It's all oligopolis. So these guys are plugged in with the government in power. They're buddy-buddy, they're chummy-chummy.

So obviously they lobby the government to continue these insane migration policy because it suppresses wages. So again, it's the Canadian. It's the old stock Canadian that's losing. Well, and the red pill here, and this is what people don't want to accept, is if Canada brought in, I don't know, a million Englishmen, or maybe even a million Frenchmen, probably wouldn't be having these problems.

I mean, there'd be some economic problems, getting these people homes or whatever, but you wouldn't have these cultural clashes and Toronto wouldn't feel foreign if anything Toronto would start to feel a bit more Canadian again. Absolutely. You know, when you look at, and I mean, I know your French Canadians,

we have a slightly different perspective on this, but from my perspective, especially places like Ontario, really is meant to be this kind of outposts of British Empire in many ways. So the further away you get from that Anglo-Protest and French-Canadian core, the less Canadian it feels.

And people have a really tough time accepting this because, you know, 70, 80 years of post-war liberal consensus, we're supposed to believe everyone's a blank slate. I'm sorry, someone from Yorkshire, it's kind of a slightly easier time assimilating into Toronto. Actually, they'd probably just pick up right where they left off versus someone from India. And it's like the sooner people can accept that, especially on the, if you're on the right, you have no excuse. You should have already accepted that by now. But the sooner people on the left even can accept that people are different based off of where they come from, the sooner we can fix these problems.

And you mentioned earlier, Denmark. They did this fascinating study. They looked at immigrants from different backgrounds and how much it caused society to import, not only import these immigrants, but how much they would cost society over their lifetime. So they took the average Danish person as a benchmark, and that person would contribute more to society than they took.

So they would, through taxes and productivity, would benefit Danish society. Then they looked at other Europeans, like Romanians. And they contributed a little bit less, but it was still positive. It was still a net gain for society. But then they started looking at other cultures, other people from other areas.

And whether it's Afghanistan, Iraq, the worst offender was from Somalia. Someone from Somalia cost Denmark 27,000 euros per year to support throughout their lifetime. It doesn't get better. They don't integrate. They don't start producing a net value for society.

They're just a drain for their entire life on society. And that's another angle people don't realize. I mean, ultimately, again, immigration is supposed to benefit your country. It's not a right. It's a privilege to go to a different country. Certainly not a charity, which is definitely not. That's what it's been. Well, I'm glad that the guy, I'm glad Quebec has put their foot down on this.

Someone's got to do it. Trump's obviously been making some massive strides on this. I mean, to the point where his own base is like, we want more. I mean, that's like a really healthy thing, actually. You're starting to see across Europe people waking up on this. But yeah, it unfortunately feels like Canada and Australia, really the other Anglosphere countries in New Zealand, the hour is late. So it's good to see Quebec a show on the Anglos, how it's done here. Well, with that, we've got to get to some of our super chats here.

They've been rolling in on Rumble. I've been looking at YouTube and there hasn't been as much. On Rumble, it's like Super Chat City. Shane H. Wilder says, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, cast IRL. Bois, boys, boys, boys, boys. Brett, an honorary frostback on air with a legit frostback. Welcome back, Phil. The new album, Better Make My Ears Bleed.

We wrote a chorus, and I sent it to our guitar player, and he showed his wife, and she cried. So I think we're on the right track. We're on the right track. That's a legitimate story, too. There's a song that we were working on, and we were pretty pumped, and we sent it to our guitar player. And he's like, that's sick. He's like, I showed my wife. She cried.

I'm like, yes, that's a winner. Speaking of Honorary, Elliot, it looks like it changed sides here. There you go. I'm joining. Oh, boy. persuaded by the Americans at this table. Can you see it on camera? Oh, yeah.

The hat back there. There you go. It's really getting wild. I mean, you're going to have some trouble at the airport. Yeah, for sure. I'm going to, CBSA, which is like our CBP, they're going to be questioning me. That's it.

They're turning me back around. What are we got here? What do we got here from terrible 1382? That's quite the username. Brett. That's what do you put the three T's there. Three T's. A great job on not being a fat.

P-O-S, but does thou even hoist? Phil take him to the gym post-haste. We got like a middle-age, someone from the middle-aged isn't that. Medieval, yeah. We've talked about it. Fascinating. Bildoser 74 says, Phil said,

we don't have magic soil. Excuse me, sir. Have you not spoken to the mountain Jews? They believe in Missouri magic world. I love the term mountain Jews. That is the term for the Mormons, by the way. Because you don't know, mountain Jews. From St. Miles, if you look,

look at the inside recording of the terminal that was hit by the Houthis. Most of the people there were dressed to go on Hajj. They bombed Muslims on pilgrimages. Yeah, the Houthis don't really care. They're just getting wacky and wild. Rude. They just want to win. They're like, all right, they're rotating around the cube or whatever.

You're not safe. Andre Touloscu, the very Romanian name. Want to talk about Iranian sleeper cells. Look at the Toronto police officer who got busted trying to have suppressors mailed in the Canada. Is this true? Yeah. Jeez. Don't nail them.

The thing is that police officer, again, look at the last name, and you'll realize where his allegiance stands. Doesn't sound too Anglo or French, huh? Igor Gargile of Kazan says FPV drones would destroy the U.S. population, whether that be the Pentagon's drones or drones from China, Russia, etc. Your guns are irrelevant, silly-filly. Whoa. Gee.

I mean, look, I said like a, a, an actual invasion by people. Yeah. You're having different conversations. Yeah. Evan for us says the Trump 2.0, 2A, moves and stances alone may dictate he needs to win the midterms, LOL. I guess he's saying that for 2A purposes alone, it's definitely worth reinforcing Trump's

conventional. I mean, yeah, look, if you want to see, you know, the border secure, then you have to vote for Republicans, right? If you want to retain your Second Amendment rights, you have to vote for Republicans. If you want to see any more of the policies that Donald Trump has put forward, you have to vote for Republicans. If you want to see any kind of legislation or anything out of the administration, you have to vote for Republicans because if Democrats take control of the House, it's going to be investigation. impeachment. They're going to be calling it. You know, they're going to do everything they can to stymie the Trump, you know, the Trump agenda. So, uh, I mean, for me personally, it was, it was never a question.

And it's not because of Donald Trump. It's because I'm never going to vote for Democrats the way they are. Like, I'm not going to vote for, for Democrats. Like they, they, they have not, they've, they've indicated to me that they do not hold the values that I help that I hold. It's, it's that clear. And so whether it be Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance, the Democrat Party would have to shift, you know, massively for me to be like, well, maybe I'll vote for a Democrat. Like, they just don't, their values are not the same as mine. So, yeah, no, absolutely. Get out and vote. I concur. Dragon 4536 says, I had to live through two years of H.E. double hockey sticks when my mother was diagnosed and passed from lung cancer. But never did I waver in my belief that anyone but the Lord could bring her.

peace from that pain. That is, that is, that is, that is very salient. That's absolutely, I share that belief as well. Um, yeah, I mean, it's, it's difficult to imagine any true relief from that can come outside of, um, obviously the Lord. I would second that. I mean, I, my father passed away in 2000. And I mean, he had, he died of cancer. And it was pretty rough at the end, you know, um, he was definitely suffering. And unfortunately, something like that, you know, there's no around is only through. Yeah. You know, so.

Yeah, I agree. Only the truth we're going to YouTube says, learn your history. That's always exciting. Yeah, there you go. Can't wait to hear this one. Opens up. He's probably right, because these people have, like, access to like Wikipedia. So if you say something that you think is correct, they look it up.

But he's not live. I'll just not know that. He's not going to be nice about it, though. You're all like two months in the date. A pregnant woman and five kids were the balloon victims in Oregon. Oh, okay. Okay. A crashed zero was found in Alaska after a failed Dutch Harbor raid.

Dutch Harbor was the, obviously over the illusions. Yeah, so off a few casualties there. Thank you for the update. I appreciate that. Rooster sauce 69, and this is coming in a Canadian dollar. So this is an authentic Canadian here. That's worth nothing. Sorry, guys.

Thanks for the monopoly money. If you want to know more about the horrors of Maid, please look up Kelsey Sharon. She's one of the most vocal Canadians. She's great. She's amazing. That's her entire platform. Highly recommend if you guys want to have her on,

she'll definitely come. She's amazing. This has been fascinating with the maid. We have to get her on. Lisa, if you're watching, let's get going. That'd be awesome. She's probably asleep.

She gets her kids. Yeah, she's probably like living her life. She works probably the hardest out of it. anyone at this company. She's the best. Shout out Lisa. Wyatt Caldenberg says old people thinking it was a weekly housemaid. That one's on offer. Well, maid, yeah. I could probably use a cleaner on here.

It's paying for that? That's amazing. If we had real comedy these days, somebody would be making that scheme. Yeah. My maid. Oh, my house isn't any cleaner and mine dead. It's like they opened the door thinking a maid's going to be there. She's just a guy with an axe. It's Michael Myers with this big steak knife. It's so true. Yeah, well, we're out of super chats here.

We got to pick back up on the can. When's the next time we're going to have a Canadian? I don't know. We might try to get maybe JJ McCola on because JJ McCola made this interesting point. He's the one that put this on my radar is, and you said it at the top of the show, is that Canadians in the 21st century identify themselves solely in opposition to the United States. And we've talked about this before, frustration with the Republican Party. the inability to articulate what you're in favor of will always destroy you.

If you're only defined in what you're against, you can only last so long. And I think that's part of the reason of why you're seeing, not that America doesn't have these problems. It's just Canada has these problems on steroids. It's not me boasting like, oh, we figured it all out. No, look at Dallas. Dallas is almost as bad as Toronto in a lot of ways, certainly a lot of the suburbs there. It's just to say Canada is in a further stage of this. But, yeah, I think part of it is just because the Canadians don't know what

for what actually does define the Canadian. I mean, as you see it, I guess, painting with a broad brush here, obviously Anglos and French Canadians, what is a Canadian? You know, that's a good question. I bring the Quebec aspect. I think Quebec has culture.

Out of all places in Canada, we have a distinct culture. Language, linguistically, historically, food, or people that's bound together. History, look, if I look at Canada, it's, first of all, there's the, You've got to look at the descent.

You've got to look at the ethnicity like you're not. It comes from Ireland, England, France, and Scotland. There you go. So I was going through the aisles. Those are the old stock Canadians. And then after that, you can tie in with immigration a lot of Europeans, lots of Italians, Polish, but it's Christian-based, European-based. And that's what we should go back towards.

We used to be known as being very polite. That's fine. But we used to also be known to, you know, our first prime minister was a staunched nationalist. He, you know, he's the father of confederation. And he was very much anti-immigration. Yeah. So we have to go back to that. We've been tearing down our statues.

We've been bending over for the First Nations and doing land acknowledgments because, you know, all the land has been stolen. We have to go back to our history and be proud of it. That's number one, you know. So now we're at a point where before every hockey game, have to do a land acknowledgement. We're on the unseated territory of whatever. We have to get away from this continuously just trying to pender and just go back to being, yeah, we're Canadian, we created one of the greatest nation at the time. We've been losing it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. And we've elevated the quality of life of so many other people. There you go. And that's

the former... I think you guys should go back to this. Again, as a French Canadian, as I understand it, a big reason you guys went away from this is a lot of the French Canadians weren't too happy with a big giant Union Jack on there. As I understand it, this new Quebec minister, he wants to get rid of the monarchy. Absolutely. Well, that's the interesting thing, right? So when you enter parliament,

so in Quebec, it's called the National Assembly. You know, we're maybe taking a step. We're a little too early there. We're not yet a nation. But we renamed it the National Assembly. So you're supposed to take a note to the king before you take your seat. And he said,

and on top of that, you're supposed to have the lieutenant governor. We call it a lieutenant governor, but you guys would say the lieutenant governor. who's the king's representative. They represent the crown. They're the one's opening parliament. They're the one doing a speech from the throne, setting out the agenda of the government,

of the session. And he flat out said, I'm telling her not to come. She's not welcome. And as for the oath of office, we're going to swear allegiance to the people of Quebec. We're not swearing allegiance to the crown. Now, there is precedent because the former government

passed a law abolishing the need to swear allegiance to the crown. And it was not challenged. Is it unconstitutional? Yes. Completely, nobody challenged it. Again, we're Canadian. We're not going to make a fuss.

So that was in 2022. It hasn't been challenged. So right now him telling saying, you know, the lieutenant governor is not coming, probably going to pass as well. And then he went further saying, we're going to cut the entire budget of her office. So, I mean, I'm for it.

I mean, what is the crown anymore in Canada? Why do we need to have a king? To use J.J. McCullough's argument again, I mean, he says the primary reason is just to sort of signal that we're not American. Yeah, well, it's dumb. You see left, you know, you go around the world, you go to Australia, certainly Britain, New Zealand, you know, being a monarchist is very right-wing, it's very conservative. And then in Canada, it's kind of a mixed bag. I mean, Trudeau was probably more pro-crown than anyone. I guess it was just a signal that he wasn't American. Yeah, at that point.

And even then when we started the trade war with the U.S. was the first thing we did. We actually asked the king, Charles, to come open parliament for us. Like, he came from England, which was the first time he's ever been in Canada, by the way. So it was a message. You know, we're not, we're not bending over for America. Again, it's posturing, it's stupid, and it's devoid of any value. I like the old flag. Now, again, being from Quebec, we have our own flag, and we're very proud of it, and we fly it everywhere. I like this one. Well, and to your point, look, you've got the three lines of England, the dragon of Scotland, the flowers or the, what do you call it in French? Fleur de Lis.

Deleis. Belie. Of, uh, wibou. You went to a whole show without making a joke, like a French frog joke. This is good, man. It's been boiling in, eh? It needs to come out. My wasp bag. You had to.

You had to. Keep it contained. Frog. I'm just kidding. We got the beautiful. I love the French, by the way. No one loves the French more than me. The beautiful.

And then you got the Irish harp. And then, you know, kind of united all together. I mean, this is basically them saying, these are the four that are Canadians. And if you're outside of that, it's up to us. arm and if you're Canadian or not. And that's what that flag says. And then it says, by the way, this is where we kind of came out of. The new flag, it's just like, like, like, like, kind of libtar post-war, like, doesn't mean anything. All the men who died in the world wars, they didn't even have a conception of that flag. It's just like the epitome of we're moving into the blank slate,

you know, what it means to be a Canadian. I don't know. We're coming up with it. It's on the fly. Yeah, it has no culture, no history. And on top of that, we push even further. So we redesign her passport. And back in the day, every page had, you know, very page had, you know, Vime Ridge, which was a battle that was very much Canadian that we won. In Europe, Terry Fox, that was an icon of Canada, they removed everything. Now it's just drawings that mean nothing. We've erased our history and our culture. And that's the problem again with mass migration.

It leads to the collapse of the culture and the erosion of social cohesion. It's tragic stuff. It's a tailspin. I think the Quebec Quad Quah could probably pull out, which I think it would be great. salvage something. We'll see what the Western provinces decide. But with that, we've got to wind this show down.
