🔴 Poilievre Makes BOLD Move With Trump—Liberals LOSE IT

·1 hr 2 min·5 clips

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani announces he's going to Washington to help Liberal PM Mark Carney negotiate a trade deal with the U.S.

The episode opens with host Josh introducing the day's topics, focusing on the Conservative Party's strong opposition under Pierre Poilievre. He first addresses a mistake from his previous show, retracting a false story about Hillary Clinton speaking at the Liberal convention and discussing the correction process compared to what he perceives as the left's handling of misinformation. The central story is Conservative MP Jamil Jivani's announcement that he is going to Washington D.C. to assist Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney with U.S. trade negotiations, framed as a bold, non-partisan move to help the Canadian economy. Josh explains Jivani's connection to U.S. Vice President JD Vance from Yale Law School and suggests this move has Poilievre's blessing. He then details the left's reaction on social media, with figures like Clay Thompson and 'Kimbo' calling it treason or sabotage, which he criticizes as unhinged. The host plays a clip of Stephen Harper's speech at his portrait unveiling, calling for unity against external threats, but Josh argues the current Liberal Party under Carney is not acting in good faith. He analyzes a Question Period exchange where Pierre Poilievre blames Carney's taxes for Canada having the worst food inflation in the G7, and Carney deflects by blaming Conservative obstructionism. Josh predicts the Liberal strategy will be to blame Conservatives for obstruction to justify seeking a majority government. The episode also covers Environment Minister Melanie Joly not ruling out scrapping the EV mandate, seen as a shift toward conservative policy, and the failure of the federal gun confiscation program as provinces and police refuse to participate. It concludes with superchat discussions on topics like internal conflict in China and the potential for Poilievre to meet with Trump, wrapping up with a poll showing 87% support for Jivani's move.
