Best of the Program | Guests: Ezra Levant & Jon Bramnick | 12/17/24

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia made to travel.

Finally, we have yet another reason to hate Woodrow Wilson.

On today's podcast, I'll tie it all together and show you that Donald Trump got it right.

Also, New Jersey State Senator John Bramnick on the drones.

And is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about to step down?

Ezra Levant thinks he may go a completely different route and sink Canada.

You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We're glad you're here.

I'm Stu.

This is your last day.

It is.

It's been great working with you.

Wait, I know.

No, before vacation, you mean?

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant.

Oh.

Yeah.

And I got it

hard for you

after the show.

Is that why they were going through my office before?

They setting me up with some sort of Christmas surprise.

Different office for you.

Anyway, it's Stu's last day before Christmas, and then he'll come back

before I do.

My last day is Friday.

So Liz Wheeler,

we've upgraded.

We have upgraded

massively.

Fair.

Liz Wheeler is going to be filling in for you for the next couple of days, which will be really interesting.

I find her fascinating.

She's great.

Really smart.

By the way, available on Blaze TV.

She's a new Blaze TV host this year, right?

It's this year.

She started.

I thought you were going to like, I thought it was like a dating service all all of a sudden.

By the way, she's available.

And I'm like, what are you doing?

You're the one telling everybody she's an upgrade.

I mean, I know.

Well, because of you.

Right.

Everybody knew what that meant.

Yes, I know.

All right.

Yesterday, we were kind of having this argument, I think, off air

of daylight savings time.

And I was like, I seem to remember it has something to do with farmers.

Okay, they have too much, you know, they need more sunlight or I can't remember.

And I'm like, like if it's it's farmers i'm sure it's farmers and so i i i got to check this out because if it's about farming i'm for it

and it's a good stance good stance that's how we get a giant 500 billion dollar farm bill every year right it's again is it about farming that i'm for it for it so here is the uh uh so i said to you yesterday I'll do my homework.

Yeah.

Let me look into where it started.

I'm very interested.

I'm not going to believe.

Okay.

So if you start looking in all the dark corners of human history, you find a man named Benjamin Franklin.

That's not a dark corner.

He's my favorite founder.

Right.

Founding father, inventor, lover of lightning, lover of libraries.

Yes.

Pretty good guy.

Pretty guy.

I love it.

Okay.

So he's in Paris.

And in 1784, he writes.

Now,

remember, in America, he wrote an op-ed under a pseudonym, a nom de plume,

and it was all just comedy, basically.

He was just ripping things apart comedically, okay?

Well, he does this in the Journal des Paris,

and he writes this letter because

he thinks the Parisians are lazy.

Now, who would have thought that?

Where did that come from?

Jeez,

how things have changed, huh?

So he said,

I've got an idea.

First of all, I can save you a fortune on candles.

And candles, if you woke up a little earlier, you wouldn't need the candle at night because you'd be tired and you'd go to bed.

So in this, he said,

and we should tax shutters because if you don't have a shutter, The light would come in and you'd wake up and you'd go to work.

Okay.

And if that doesn't work, we should fire cannons at sunrise.

Get out of bed.

Okay.

So he's writing this about basically making fun of the French for being lazy and laying in bed.

Okay.

He didn't mean it, but a seed had been planted.

So now you have to go a hundred years to the future.

Another guy who becomes very serious about the clocks is George Vernon Hudson.

He's an entomologist in New Zealand.

And he's like, you know, Benjamin Franklin was right.

Why?

Because this guy collected butterflies after his job

and it got dark too early.

For his butterfly collecting

his butterfly collecting.

Okay.

Okay.

This is, I mean, this is insane.

So he stirs up a big deal.

He's like, we've got to drop our clocks back.

But he didn't say an hour.

he said like 20 minutes.

Send it back 20 minutes.

20

minutes?

What are you talking?

You know how screwed up everything would be if we set our clock.

I'm going to send him back 16 and a half minutes.

We can't handle the most basic of tasks.

I know.

Okay.

Imagine that.

All right.

So he's, you know, he's doing this because, again, he's collecting insects.

All right.

1895 is when he did that.

It didn't come back again until William Willett in 1907.

He was a wealthy Englishman.

He said,

just like Benjamin Franklin, except he was sincere about it,

nobody's working anymore.

Why can't?

Now, this is the, you got to remember, this is a wealthy Englishman.

So he's like, why aren't my workers out on the plantation early in the morning?

I should be woken up by the sound of hard work.

So he says, this is a waste.

And he writes a pamphlet, A Waste of Daylight.

He also suggests we only turn the clocks back 20 minutes.

All right.

So he lobbied Parliament.

Nobody listened to him.

Okay.

1916.

1916, the beginning of the Great War.

All across Europe, countries are desperate to do what?

What are they fight?

What are they doing?

They're fighting, right?

If you're fighting, what do you need?

Don't think daylight.

What do you need?

Night.

No.

No, no, forget the time.

What is valuable?

What's valuable is armaments, okay?

Okay.

And how do you make armaments back there?

Back then?

Coal.

So they want the light to last as long at night as possible so the coal plants can

are taking all the coal instead of giving it to people for energy in their houses so they can turn on all their lights they can make armaments so they have a shortage of fuel of coal all right it's a winding road i would not have gotten that

this is why i did this dusty dusty work yesterday okay suddenly

Germany is like, hey, wait a minute.

Remember that guy that was, Germany did this, not England.

Germany said, remember that guy who was in parliament who said that you should set the clock back?

And they're like, yeah, 20 minutes.

And so a German said, how about a full hour?

Would that save things?

April 30th, 1916, Germany was, nothing good comes from Germany.

I'm sorry.

Really good desserts.

Really good desserts.

Other than that, nothing good.

Well, okay.

BMWs are pretty nice.

Mercedes, pretty nice.

But other than that, nothing comes out of Germany that is good.

Aren't you German?

There's a few exceptions.

Okay.

So all across Europe, the war is raging.

Germany sets their clocks back so they can have the daylight, so they're not wasting coal.

And England is like, hey, wait a minute.

Six weeks later, England joins in.

Then Europe joins in.

Everybody's doing this for the war effort.

Then Wilson.

Then Wilson comes in and he does it as well in the United States.

So the first time it ever happened was under Woodrow Wilson.

I could end the story there, and that explains why I'm now not for Daylight Savings Time.

I could end it there.

So after Wilson, because of of the progressives, this is so amazing.

Think about this in history.

The progressives in 1919

became very unpopular because Woodrow Wilson had had a stroke his last year in office, was absolutely incapable of running anything in the White House.

He wasn't in charge.

His wife was.

Does any of this sound familiar?

And he had taken America and pushed it into socialism.

And

we had lost freedom.

And it scared the American people because at that time they knew the Constitution.

And it had happened in eight years.

And they're like, we got to get away from this.

And so they reversed it.

And all the things he did, they reversed,

including daylight savings time.

And then World War II happened.

And

FDR came in.

And he called it wartime.

And he did it for the same reason, to save on coal, save energy.

So to conserve resources again, we put in wartime.

And then we never let it go.

So 70 countries now still observe daylight savings time.

That's a third of the world.

Across Europe, the clocks spring forward, fall back like clockwork, pun intended.

It's called, over in Europe, it's it's called summertime.

In North America, United States, Canada, and Mexico, we're still dancing to this tune, except Mexico is starting to opt out.

Parts of Australia and New Zealand still observe it, but in Asia, Africa, and most of South America,

they've been like, these guys are stupid.

What are you doing?

They're like, yeah, that's

not a really...

I mean, we don't have candles anymore or coal.

So, you know, I think we're, we're, you know, I think we're pretty good with this and it messes with our bodies.

And doctors show

that the time change increases heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, and grumpiness.

The one thing it is, it's on a Saturday and you're like, oh, I missed church.

Gosh darn it.

I didn't set my clock.

Now, that's not a very good reason.

That's not a good reason to be against it.

Wilson is.

Your kids miss buses.

Anyway, so that is

what happened.

Now, if we don't, if Donald Trump comes in and says, we're getting rid of daylight savings time, that means the sun in Boston will come up at 4.07 a.m.

Like 4.11 in Minneapolis,

around the same in Seattle.

That is significant.

4.20, I think, in Los Angeles.

But it's still light until 7 o'clock at night, 8 o'clock at night.

I'm pretty cool with that.

I'm pretty cool with that.

I don't like it when, you know, the problem is in the winter, it gets dark so early,

you kind of like, I don't, wait, I don't need it to be darker, you know, at 3 in the afternoon.

I went to, where was that?

Copenhagen, I think.

I was doing a deal on,

it was in Sweden, and I was doing a deal on the muslim uprisings over there this is years ago

and like the sun rises at like 930 945 and goes down at three

you know 245 and it never gets past like the sunset it's never above like 20 degrees horizon and so it just kind of circles the edge it always looks like dawn or dusk

I think I'd kill myself.

I don't care how good the chocolate is or whatever.

I think the Swiss miss would be fashioning a rope for me really quickly.

Oh my gosh.

I don't think I could handle it.

So anyway, that's the story.

Donald Trump, right again.

He is right.

Anything that goes.

Anything that goes against Woodrow Wilson and FTR,

I fully 100%

back.

And by the way, it all started as a joke.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

If you are somebody who gets our free morning newsletter, which is all of my show prep, you just sign up for it at Glenbeck.com.

You will see absolutely every story

that's legit or from a legit source

about the drones.

And none of them agree with each other, except that it's happening.

Well, I can't say that because they don't agree on that either.

Some people are saying, well, this is, you're just seeing stars.

I've seen stars my whole life.

I know what a star looks like.

I know what a plane looks like.

Potential drone sightings in Vermont.

potential drone sightings in

New York.

Are these drone sightings over Georgia?

Michigan Man reports mystery drone sighting.

Mystery drones over UK air bases and threat of Russian sleeper agents.

So now the English are saying the drones over there are from Russia.

Mystery drones spotted in Tacoma.

You know what the number one drone sighting state is?

You would say New Jersey.

New Jersey, yeah.

Oklahoma.

What?

Yeah.

Oklahoma is the number one drone site, sighting capital, apparently, of the world.

And

the governor

just

said

they're there every night.

You can see them when the skies cleared.

He said, I've been watching these for over a year, and they're not hunters looking for pigs or coyotes or anything like that because they're flying around in an observational way.

He said he has asked the

White House to give Oklahoma the same things that they're supposedly giving to New York.

I mean,

if it was nothing to worry about, why would they be giving all these states this really high, sophisticated drone stuff?

Well, I guess maybe because if it is

if it is actually a mystery drone and the government's not involved and it's nothing to worry about, then it's just people just messing with the FAA.

Drone sightings in San Diego,

in Kentucky.

And now they're saying these people with lasers, when you point them at a drone, you might be pointing them at an aircraft and we'll come and arrest you.

Why can't you just track the signal back on the drones to find?

Why is that not even threatened?

If you're flying any of these drones, we will find you.

because we can track your signal from the drone back to you, the operator, and we'll do it.

I mean,

with all the technology they have and all the monitoring that they do, you'd think that would be possible.

No, it is.

It is possible.

Oh, I know.

But I mean, so why wouldn't they be doing it?

Right.

Why wouldn't we be doing it?

So my guess is maybe it's not as easy as

we think it is.

I mean, a lot of people.

I mean, you see this happen all the time.

We're like, hey, this guy just murdered a CEO in the middle of Manhattan.

Oh, he got all the way to Pennsylvania.

Like, what?

Here is Whoopi Goldberg's explanation.

You heard this?

No, I have not heard of Whoopi my wife.

I think they know what it is.

I think they're not going to really be able to say it.

Or

we're going to get a really hell of a big party for New Year's Eve.

It's going to just, it's going to be like a dome over all 50 states of these drones and they're all like that.

Well, why not?

I mean, stranger things have happened.

Than

a New Year's Eve party with drone.

Okay.

These people are out.

Joam of drones over all 50 states.

Stranger things have happened.

No, no.

Not really.

And strange things have happened.

I give her credit on that.

Really unexpected things have happened, but not stranger than that, I don't think.

Donald Trump says yesterday, he was asked about it.

He said,

he was asked, have you been briefed

in your president-elect briefings?

And all he said is the government knows what they are, and they're just not telling telling the American people.

That's what he said.

Hopefully he will.

Maybe he do.

Maybe we find out on January 20th.

I have to tell you,

I heard somebody yesterday give what I think is the answer, without question, mathematically the answer.

I'll give that to you here in just a second.

First, I have a

Hang on just a second.

Let me pull it up here.

I have a New Jersey state senator.

His name is John Bramnick.

He is,

he thinks he knows why the federal government is not telling the truth on the drones.

Welcome to the program, State Senator John Bramnick.

Good to be with you, Glenn.

Thank you.

So

you've been on this now for a while,

apparently in New Jersey.

It's a very big deal, but Maorca said it might be stars, but I think we've all seen stars before.

What have you found, and

why isn't, if the government knows what it is, why aren't they telling us?

Well, let me talk about the evolution of this.

First, people saw these drones, large drones, including the state police.

The colonel and the state police had a briefing with us where one of their helicopters saw a large SUV-size drone that was flying next to the helicopter, turn off its lights, and fled.

Now, that's not some citizen.

that's the helicopter pilots for the state police.

So it started off with clear observations of unusually large drones that were turning off their lights and leaving the area.

So then people started to see this.

And then

why I think it's such a big deal is both sides of the aisle.

You had Schumer and Trump on the same side of this issue.

You had Governor Murphy, a Democrat, and Governor Christie both asking for more information.

So, when you have both sides saying there's not enough information, United States senators were going out with local police because they couldn't get information from the federal government.

So, then what happened?

All of a sudden, there were these private briefings, and all of a sudden, it started to change.

They said, Well, it's not a threat, but they still didn't release any other information.

So, I think slowly the federal government is privately giving information to elected officials to try to calm down the public.

But that doesn't answer why we see in New Jersey over military bases,

over reservoirs, and even over Governor Christie's house, large drones.

And we see what we see.

So I think what happened here is they try to tap all this down and it backfired on the Biden administration.

So

any

clue?

Is it us?

Is it the Pentagon?

What is it?

Any clue?

It's definitely not Martians, okay?

Because we never land in Jersey, I'll tell you that.

The season is so expensive.

They're going down to Florida, I can tell you that.

But we know it's not outer space people.

Right.

It may be some spaced out people.

So

here's what we're left with.

I've heard three or four.

theories and everyone calls me and says, you know, I heard this, et cetera.

Everything from some sort of mapping of the heat on the earth in order to do security from radioactivity.

Somebody sent me something yesterday that said the amount of radioactivity in the New York, New Jersey area is raised, has been increased.

They wanted to send me a website on that.

So I don't know, but I do know something.

The Department of Defense has to know.

And if they don't know, we're in big trouble.

You know, in the UK, they're blaming the drones just started showing up over the air bases over there.

And in the UK, they're blaming Russia.

Well,

it's not good.

You're telling me, okay, in 2024 that the Department of Defense doesn't know what a SUV-sized drone is doing flying over military bases.

Now,

if that's the case, then we better look closely at our military.

So we did.

I mean, this administration is the one that let a balloon that they said had nothing, it was not sending information back, go across the United States and denied it half the time and then said it was nothing until they shot it down after it had transmitted all of its information.

I mean.

And how about the

president-elect saying the government knows but isn't telling us?

Now, I would suspect that the president-elect has sufficient information to make that statement.

Otherwise, I doubt he would have said that.

He said that in response to a question in your president-elect briefings on national security, has they said anything?

And that was his response.

So it would lead you to believe he's telling you without telling you what he got briefed.

The bottom line is when you have this many millions of people, wherever I go in New Jersey, the first question is, hey, Senator, can you please tell me?

Don't worry, I won't tell anybody.

You know, my rule is if you want to keep a secret, don't tell anybody.

So all I got to tell you is that we don't have enough information to calm down the public.

So just give us enough information to calm down the public.

That's all we're asking for.

You said that they are too fearful of the public reaction.

What did you mean by that?

Well, I figure that the Defense Department must know what these drones are doing.

So either, if they don't know, that's a problem, but if they do know, they must figure that they cannot release this information because it's such a top secret

plan or it would create fear in the public.

It's got to be one or the other.

And my guess is they have to know based on my confidence in the military.

So therefore, they want to release it because they don't either scare the public or provide secret information to our adversaries.

What other explanation is?

Now, the explanation is:

well, it's just a bunch of planes and

it's birds with lights on them.

You know, that's not the these are smart people who've seen these drones.

This is not somebody who saw a Bigfoot and then comes back from the woods because I saw a Bigfoot.

This is the governor, you know, whether whether it be Governor Christie or

senators who live down the shore, they've seen it.

So I don't know how you tell them it was just a plane, especially when it's hovering over somebody's house.

Right.

Right.

Senator, I'd love to have you back because I know that you were an assistant professor at, I think it was Ryder University.

He won the Inspirational Professor of the Year.

And you have also,

you also hold the title of funniest lawyer in New Jersey.

And you think that was easy to win in the funniest lawyer.

Let me tell you something.

The competition, the competition, the only competition that's not as hard is the funniest accountant in New Jersey.

Now, that competition, anybody can win.

But I beat the pants off nine other finalists in the funniest lawyer in New Jersey.

And people pay.

to come see a lawyer tell jokes.

That's how crazy the public is.

Thank you so much, Senator.

I appreciate it.

God bless you merry christmas you bet bye-month

this is the best of the glenn beck program

a hero really of the canadian people um ezra levant

hello ezra

glenn it's great to talk with you today I heard your introduction about Christia Freeland, the deputy prime minister and finance minister.

She's much more than that.

It would be like Dick Cheney was to George

Jr.

I mean, the everything

fixer, totally involved in all the files.

That was Christia Freeland.

And she quit yesterday, and she timed her leaving to detonate the morning she was supposed to deliver a mini budget.

So that whole thing was thrown

into

a mess.

And basically, didn't she say that because

we're spending all of our money and we have to stop because we might get into a trade war with America?

She did.

And she, in her resignation letter, which she published, she accused Trudeau of being a narcissist, of being in it for himself.

No.

She didn't use the word narcissist, but she said, we've got to think about more than just ourselves.

We've got to think about the country.

She accused him of, quote, political gimmicks.

And the thing is, she was his right-hand woman since the very beginning.

And I want to tell you one more thing about Christia Freeland.

She is on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum.

And what was her job right before she became a member of parliament to join Trudeau?

You're not going to believe me.

She was the authorized biographer of George Soros.

Oh my gosh.

So the deputy prime minister and finance minister, but really the everything minister of Canada.

She was, like I say, like Dick Cheney to George Bush.

She was the right-hand man on every file.

So

was she more of the architect of this or is Trudeau capable of doing?

What I'm asking is Trudeau more of a Biden and she's more of an Obama?

Or is it Dick O'Cheney, Dick Cheney and George W.

Bush?

Trudeau loves

the sizzle of being prime minister.

He loves the adulation.

It's hard to come by.

So, for example, he went to the recent Taylor Swift concert and he exchanged friendship bracelets with teenage girls.

That's his market these days.

Everyone else shouts at him.

So

he was never a policy guy.

He would leave that to the grown-ups.

And Christia Freeland and George Soros would fill that void.

And I'm not just saying George Soros has a throwaway line.

A few years ago, Canada signed a contract with the Open Societies Foundation to draft our refugee policy.

So this is not a rumor.

Oh, my God.

So Christia Freeland departing is an enormous blow.

But look, Canadians can hardly wait to get rid of Trudeau.

I don't want to sound overconfident, but the Conservative opposition leader, his name is Pierre Polyev, he's excellent.

He's way out ahead in the polls.

Remember, we have a multi-party system, so there's about five parties in parliament.

The conservatives are at 43.

Now, I know that might sound low in an American two-party system, but when you've got five parties, 43% means you're going to have a massive victory.

And last night, after Christie Freeland detonated Trudeau and quit, there was a pollster named Abacus data that went into the field immediately.

And his results have just been posted.

Only 11%

of Canadians approve of Trudeau.

11%.

It's going to be a massacre.

Last factoid, here's a little data point.

This is happy news.

This is really happy news.

While everyone was focused on the intrigues in Ottawa, there was a special election in the province of British Columbia for one of these members of parliament.

And the conservatives, led by Pierre Polyev, got 66% in the local district.

In Vancouver, B.C.

Not in Vancouver proper, but nearby.

So in D.C., which is sort of like Washington state, it's a little bit hippie.

It's a little bit easier.

It's a little bit...

But then I got to tell you, people of every background, according to the pollsters, men and women, young and old and minorities, they all want want Trudeau Gone, which is so interesting because he came to power as the woke guy

who, you know, I'm a male feminist, he said, etc.

Canadians are finally done with him.

We just need that moment where we get to go to vote.

And Ezra, I hate to simplify your country's politics in this way, but Glenn, Paul Ev is the guy who, with the apple guy.

Remember the viral video where he was just sitting there answering questions.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eating the apple.

I love that guy.

I think everybody in America that saw that video loves that.

Oh, I love that guy.

Now,

that apple-eating thing, give me 30 seconds on that.

You know, he was answering questions from a left-wing journalist while casually eating an apple.

And whenever the journalist would say things like,

well, aren't you, people say you're like Trump.

And he would say, what people?

And what did they say?

And

he just did this a bunch of times, proving that the journalist was just, you know, taking cheap shots.

And when he said, people say, he was just saying I say

it was masterful and the reason why is that important there was no real policy talked about the reason that was important when

is because it shows that Pierre Polyev has a Trump-like disdain for journalists and why is that important because too many Canadian conservatives are so worried about what the media will say about them they they respond to the peer pressure of journalists they want to give journalists the answer that the journalists want polyev is not afraid to look at our version of CNN in the eyes and say,

you know,

and attack them and insult them and poke back so that I know that if he's elected prime minister, that he will be largely immune to the Mean Girls Club of the Media Party.

And that's saying something because you have the CBC.

That's like our PBS, except that's the main, I mean, they control the, they are the CNN, NBC, ABC.

They're everything up there.

They're larger than all other media combined.

Our state broadcaster has more journalists than every other media company combined.

You can imagine how that really distorts the national conversation.

But a lot of Canadians get their info through social media, which is why Trudeau's introduced legislation that would criminalize, including with a life in prison.

Trudeau has introduced a bill called C63 that has a life in prison component for, quote, hate crimes, including hate speech.

that's one of the reasons Jordan Peterson cited for moving to America this bill C63 and and we're gonna fight that bill if it becomes law but the way things are looking I think Trudeau might not last long enough to make it into law so

what happened I mean parliamentary systems are so weird you can just call an election at any time which is kind of weird

but Does he have to call for one or does he have to step down or can there be a vote of no confidence?

what what happens next

well he only has a minority in our parliament he's propped up by a hardcore socialist party called the NDP the new democrats right and aren't they didn't they just come out and pretty much say we're done with him no

no it's trickier that they said we demand Trudeau resign right and then when they said will you will you vote non-confidence in him they refuse to so they like to pretend they're against trudeau

but they they have never opposed him so if so Trudeau is the master of his own destiny as long as no one has the courage to push him out.

And if there was a non-confidence vote, he could be thrown out and an election would be forced.

But I don't think his critics have the courage to do that.

I don't think they have the numbers.

And look, these polls are so awful, Glenn.

A lot of the liberals who are sick of Trudeau and worry he's tanking things,

They know they're going to lose whether the election is now or in six months.

So why not drag it out for six more months, get paid, enjoy their power, run things a little longer?

If you're a liberal MP and you know you're going to lose the next election, why wouldn't you at least stretch it out three, six, nine months to, you know, get as much

from your job as possible, get as much money, power, influence.

Unbelievable.

I think the liberals are going to be smashed.

But Trudeau will probably,

listen, he...

is stubborn and he's a fighter.

I've never seen him apologize.

I've never seen him quit.

He has a lot of flaws, but tenacity is not one of them.

How much of a role did the election of Donald Trump play in this?

Are you guys just right, just behind us on what's happening here in America?

That's such a great question.

In a way, a Trump tweet started the dominoes falling here.

I don't know if you remember

about a month ago.

About a month ago, Trump tweeted 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if they don't seal their borders.

Stop the illegal drugs, stop illegal immigrants.

So it was, and Mexico immediately got on the phone.

Yeah, hang on just a second.

Why did True, why does Canada have such a hard time with that?

It's like, just, we need you to enforce your laws.

That's all we need.

And Pierre Polly, the conservative leader, said, look, I don't want to do those things because Donald Trump tells me to.

I want to do those things because it's in the Canadian interest.

Why would any Canadian and Trump is worried about fentanyl coming through Canada into the States?

Well, Canadians should be worried about that too.

In fact, we are.

We've had a huge crime wave under Trudeau.

So the smart grown-up answer is, okay, Trump is asking sort of roughly, like he's being a little bit, he's got that, you know, he's walking

a big stick.

But just deal with him.

The man's a transactional deal maker.

He's not actually asking Canadians for anything that we don't want.

Just do it.

But instead, here's, let me throw one last thing at you, Glenn.

Here's my

here's my theory of why Trudeau is fighting.

As I mentioned, Trudeau is so low low in the polls, and this conservative leader is so high.

But what if Trudeau could flip it?

And instead of running against Pierre Polly of the Conservative leader, what if Trudeau would say, I'm running against Trump?

Because Trump is not that popular in Canada because the media has bashed him for 10 years.

Well, here he did that too.

What if Trump brings in the

even worse up here?

But one more move.

What if Trump actually implements the tariff on Canada?

It hurts our economy.

So now Trudeau can say, this terrible economy is not my fault.

It's Trump's fault.

Vote for me if you want to stand up to Trump.

Vote for me if you don't like Trump.

Vote for me and we'll break

it up for the woes.

I think Trudeau is willing to sacrifice Canada's economy

for this desperate chance to run and win again.

That's my theory, at least.

You know what?

To me, that makes sense.

And you know what?

Honestly,

to understand Donald Trump, you have to understand he never, when he's negotiating, he never threatens.

He's never threatening.

He just makes promises.

If you do this, I'll do that.

If you do this,

I'll do that.

And he will.

He will.

So he's not threatening.

He's just making promises.

Well, and why wouldn't Canada say, all right, you've got our attention.

We agree.

We've got a border problem.

By the way, it goes both both ways when Trump is going to deport a large number of illegal migrants some of them will say oh we'd better come into Canada because there's such a soft touch so we we have an interest in having a strong border because we don't want correct all the folks Trump's going to deport including those who committed crimes and those who are going to self-deport self-deport yeah yeah I mean all those Haitians they're going to want to go to Montreal a French-speaking city rather than go back to Haiti wouldn't you yeah so we need a strong border also Trudeau would rather fight with Trump for the media kudos

than actually fix a problem.

It's his last desperate chance.

But you know what?

I hope Canada comes back.

And the Trump revolution is not just a political and economic one.

It's a freedom revolution.

Free speech, Elon Musk, RFK Jr.

basically rebuking the COVID

mentality.

Hopefully some of that freedom will slosh over the border into us, Glenn.

Yeah.

One last thing, and we both have to run.

You have one in every 20 persons now selecting suicide, and more women are electing for euthanasia

than

men are.

I mean, this is getting way out of control, euthanasia in Canada, isn't it?

And

our Veterans Affairs Department is suggesting euthanasia for soldiers who have PTSD.

If you say you're depressed, they will literally use that as a reason to give.

They call up your maid, medical assistance in dying.

It's the new word for euthanasia.

Canada is now ahead of the Netherlands for this, and partly it's socialized medicine because if you kill someone, they're not going to cost $100,000 a year on intensive care.

Part of it is also the war on the concept of life.

Trudeau is an absolutist for abortion, and this is an extension of sort of a eugenics approach.

It's dark days for those who value life in Canada, Glenn.

I hope your theory is absolutely wrong, but I've watched you long enough to know your theory probably is right.

I hope you're wrong, though.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, Glenn.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

That guy is one of the bravest people up in Canada that I know.
