You're listening to comomedy Central Trump won in November, it was largely on the promise of improving the everyday lives of American people, from fixing inflation after it was already fixed, to fighting the nationwide crime wave that he made up. And today, in a press conference from our loago, Trump announced one of those common sense kitchen table policies that Americans have been waiting for We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America You, we have been so concerned about all the scary things that Trump's gonna do. We forgot he's also gonna do some really stupid things. I guess Gulf of America does have a ring to it as in there is another horrific oil spill in the Gulf of America Okay, fine, let's rename the golf, I guess. Now let's focus on the price of eggs President elect, Donald Trump, urging America's northern neighbor to quote merge with the US, saying many people in Canada love being the fifty first state. Canada and the United States That would really be something You get rid of that artificially drawn line And you take a look at what that looks like What from the Arctic down to the Gulf of America insane. Canada can't become part of America. That's the country I pretend to be from when I'm traveling abroad Why does Trump want Canada so much? When he hears that Canadians love pouring gravy on their poutine, he knows they're not talking about Team, right By the way, this isn't the first time he's mentioned this. He's been tweeting about making Canada the fifty first state for months now. Side note, I'm impressed that he currently knows there are fifty states. But surely Canada's not going to just take this. Prime Minister Trudeau, tell him what's up I intend to resign As party leader, as prime minister. Goddamn it. God damn it Welcome to the United States, Canada. Locker rooms are over there. Our WiFi password is hoped to us sixty nine four hundred twenty. And you pay for healthcare now. But no, Trudeau didn't resign just to make it easier for Trump to take over Canada. The fact is he resigned because he's very unpopular now ran again He'd have to face this guy Pierre Paulip. He's the leader of the Conservative Party and based on this interview, he's a pretty intimidating dude On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway. What does that mean Well,ing appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess. I mean, cly certainlyertainly a lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump. like which people would say that. Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but theyu I don't know who, but Well you're the one who asks the question, so you must know somebody Damn, that's a power move. I haven't seen someone dominated like this since I watched Baby Girl. I tell you what, America's not getting Canada from him. Get on your knees, you're our province now Good girl T back toonald Trump who is now demanding to rename the Gulf of Mexico and take over Canada, not to mention a couple of weeks ago, Trump expressed interest in taking over the Panama Canal. because why stop at just controlling birth canals? We can get back to the price of eggs. Well, we need Greenland for national security purposes. People really don't know. If Denmark has any legal right But if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security f we do. Of course we do. Greenland is vital for our national security. It's the only way to stop Santa Claus from walzing on down from the North Pole and w. And if you're wondering, wait, Trump keeps saying America's broke. How is he gonna to pay for Greenland? Oh, he's not. Donald Trump said he might use military force to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland. Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of these areas You arere not going to use military or economic coercion. No, I can't assure you on either of those two He just got elected and he's gonna invade Greenland. Look, I am no war expert. I'll leave decisions regarding our military to alcoholic Fox News hosts, but A certain invading Greenland is insane At the very least, it would be nice to have heard about this during the campaign You had time to tell a ten minute story about Arnold Palmer's shower penis, but not one story about Body It' good to know For more on Trump's efforts to expand America's borders, we go live to Jordan Cleppber Jordan What's going on? Oh, I'll tell you what's going on. Colonialism is back, baby. H The world is full of distant lands we can plunder and rename after America. Well get Zinc from Greenland or should I say Americaland We'll get rubber from Cambodia, which is probably over here somewhere. Now Kay America. and we'll get our sugar from South America, or as I like to call it, America America And it's twenty twenty five. whyy would we bring colonialism back? Come on, Desie, the fancy hats alone are enough reason but that hat looks stupid. The hat That hat does not look stupid. You look stupid without a hat Andesides besides, America was at its finest when it was expanding, Manifest destiny, the Louisiana Purchase, the Oregon Trail, the California Pizza Kitchen. You know, it was so great for us. Yeah, but it won't be great for the countries we colonize. Why not? Think about all the gifts America has to offer a place like Canada Roads, sanitation, syphilis those things. They don't have myyphilis Canadians resist. That's they're Canadians make me laugh. The breastplate changed my napples Jordan The superpowers have a habit of suffering defeats in harsh climates. Name one. Napoleon in Russia. Name two. Hitler in Russia. Name three. The British in Afghanistan. Name four. The Soviets in Afghanistan. Name five. The Americans in Afghanistan. Name six. The Americans in Vietnam. Just stoping things me in front of my hat. Join the cl. Donald Trump has been busy. In the past couple of days, he's switched sides in the war in Ukraine, announced a national crypto reseserve, and dismantled the National Weather Service because part of the fun of experiencing a Category five hurricane is the surprise Trump's been so busy that I was getting worried he'd forgotten his plan to start a North American trade war. But my boy, he put it on the cow We begin with the breaking news in America's escalating trade war in it's dramatic. A global trade war kicked off at the stroke of midnight President Trump's twenty five percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico are now in effect Yeah, That's right, baby. Trade war Nobody does war better than you SA. you SA. you SA. That's right. Canada and Mexico are about to feel the pain. and the best part is it's not gonna affect us at all. The average American household could spend up to two thousand dollars more a year on everything from produce to clothes to new cars cost of a small car by an estimated six thousand two hundred dollars, or an SUV by nine thousand dollars wit. We're launching a trade war and it's gonna affect us I'm gonna to pay nine thousand dollars more for Kia Sarento And now I finally get why they say war is hell. So that's what Private Ryan sa That's what saving Private Ryan was all about Private Ryan was a different movie Isn't this the opposite of what Trump campaigned on, raising prices on everything? I'm already buying my eggs and installments with Klarna And the solution that his Secretary of aggriculture came up with, it's not very helpful. I think the silver lining in all of this is how do we in our backyards, We've got chickens too in our backyard. How do we solve for something like this? And people are sort of looking around thinking, wow, well maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard. And it's awesome. I agree with. Yeah, I think everyone who isn't a farmer right now wants to be Yes, great idea. Great idea. In this time of uncertainty, the one thing I need now is a wild animal in my house pecking my dick while I'm trying to make a frittana Everybody who's not a farmer wants to be. Are you kidding me? Americans don't even go to grocery stores anymore. We just text get Cheerios to strangers on Instacart But sure, I guess I'll become a small farmer And hey, why stop at chickens? You know I could grow my own avocados. I could raise my own cows. Wait, why am I buying my steel like a sucker when I could be smelting iron ore in my own bathtub Either way, prices are about to go up, and I just hope that no one told that to the stock market. The stock market drops for a second day in a row, now that President Trump's tariffs are in effect. Goddamnit, who told that to the stock market So the stock market is plummeting thanks to the trade war that Donald Trump started. So obviously, well we know who to blame for that, right? What's left of the Biden economy is slumping so badly It's just slumping. This is the legacy of the Biden economy Damn you, Joe Biden. You were supposed to leave the password to the economy on the White House fridge before you left If we're gonna to blame past presidents, why stop at Biden? You know? Jimmy Carter's been awfully quiet lately convenient. But I guess rising prices in a tanking stock market, that's just the cost of starting a trade war with your neighbors. Now Mexico, they expect it, right? Trump's headed out for them since no one showed up to his keen signiera. But why Canada? We've always been tight with Canada. We were both British colonies. We play in the same sports leagues together. We shaare joint custody of Ryan Gosling If Trump is going to launch a trade war with them, I hope he has a good reason. and I'm sure he does, right Ready Right. Trump says the tariffs are needed. And he claims Canada and Mexico aren't doing enough to stop illegal immigration and fentanyl shipments. The fentanyl coming through Canada is massive. Of course, of course. Fentanyl and migrants. That makes sense You, we can't just be letting Canada pump massive and massive amounts of fentanyol and migrants across our border Data shows less than one percent of the fentanyl entering the US comes from Canada, and only one point five percent of border patrol encounters with migrants take place at the border with Canada. Okay, so it's not fentanyl or migrants. can't be because Trump's an insecure wannabe alpha male thumping his chest so the world pays attention to him. So I guess I guess we'll never know. it's probably Joe Biden What will that work Whatever it is, Prime Minister Trudeau He wasn't having Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada. their closest partner and ally The closest friend Now I want to speak directly to one specific American Donald Even though you're a very smart guy This is a very dumb thing to do Wow And he's not even world leader, Matt. He's dad, Madt This is the same tone I use when I tell my daughter not to throw her baby sister into the crib You are not that type of person that does this, even though you just did this and you'll probably keep doing it. But you're not this, okay, Donald My daughter's name is Donald. All of Canada is lining up behind Trudeaux, like Ontario's premier Doug Ford, came out to warn America about the consequences of a trade war, although in a confusing way. The people of the US, which I absolutely love the American people, they're going to be paying more. The market is going to go downhill faster than the American Bob sled team Wh. Sick burn I think I mean it sounded like a slam, but if the market will go downhill really fast, that means our Bob sled team is also fast. And isn't that like a compliment O bob sled team is supposed to go fast, right? Unless he's saying our bob sled team is slow, which is a slam But then that means the market won't go downhill fast Which is good for our economy. This metaphor doesn't make any sense The point is Doug Ford is forcing me to learn about Bobs sledding, and I do not appreciate that Is there a Canadian who can make an analogy that's a little less confusing? Dononna Reiardon, the mayor of Stain. John in New Brunswick, maybe you have a good analogy. I mean, we've been in this comfortable relationship with our American cousins And now we're being attacked. So you know, we're breaking up with the U.S and it's time to move on. Yeah, we're We're cousins, but we're ' breaking up. This analogy is even worse than the Bob sled you can't break up with your cousin. Sure, you can both go off and get married Start your own families and try to convince yourselves you've moved on, but she's still there at Thanksgiving every year Yeah, she brings her new husband and she laughs at his jokes, But deep down, you can see in her pale blue eyes that she's sad and I'm sad too, Stephanie. I know she can see it in my eyes, which are the same color as hers because we're related and that's. And that's why we can't be together, right? What was I talking about? I'm sorry, but look that's right. Oh, the trade war that we've launched for no reason. The point is, look, what Donald Trump has done to Canada. They're the nicest country on Earth, the sexiest cousin. and look what we've brought them out to do. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down Ontario premier Doug Ford threatened to shut off his province's electricity exports to the United States and block shipments of Ontario's high grade nickel. Canadian liquor stores took American whiskey off the shelves. There's also hashtags by Canadian and boycott USA going viral. Canadian coffee shop, The morning Owl in Ottawa has renamed its popular Americano coffee a Canadian. WWE fans were drowning out the performance of the star Spangled banner in Toronto. Take a listen Damn. U Canada's respect for America has gone down faster than Curtis and Hubert Stevens Gold medalists in the two man Bob sled at the nineteen thirty two Lake Placid Olympics. Now that's how you do a bob sled metaphor, Dung Sed fans out here today Whatever the reason, Trump has now pushed America and Canada into a full on trade war. And for more, let's go live to the Canadian border with our very own Grace Kulen Schmidt your analysis. It's pretty simple Michael. America is definitely in the wrong gear. We're the bad guys. We suck. And when you've made a mistake, you have to take accountability and tell Canada to shut the fire Oh I' I'm sorry, tell Canada to shut the ph Yeah. Listen, America is in the wrong. No ifs, ads or buts starts talking shit, my dormant patriotic instincts bubble up and suddenly I'm proud to be. Well she is crazy because I'm not I can't help myself when that guy called our Bobsed team slow, That piece are shit. Actually I think he was complimenting our team. I still don't really know. Piece of shit want to take Canada side, but when they boo our national anthem, I'm gonna have to shit on theirs. Oh, Canada is in G major You're surprised it's not in a minor I don't really know what that means. Yeah, well, I don't want to explain it to you. If you know America's in the wrong, then why are you defending us? It's like seeing your mom get arrested. You know she shouldn't have bought beer for those middle schoolers You're still gonna yell at the cop and try to grab his gun. It's crazy but that's love. love for your mom and love for your country. And if that means I can't eat waffles with Canadian maple syrup, then by God, I will eat them with ketchup Yum You know, Grace, I gotta say in a weird way, I admire your patriotism. I hate it I'm embarrassed to be an American right now, and as an American, I'm outraged. I don't like this patriotic monster I've become. Last night I blacked out and bought a Ford F one hundred fifty. this shirt I'm wearing this on. Wait Wait is that a bald eagle pooping out a maple leaf? Wh Where did you even get that, Grace? I think I made it because I also have it tattooed on my back I just want these tariffs to go away. I love this country so much, but sometimes America is just the worst. Yeah. Yeah, sometometimes America is the worst, Grace, you're right. The didid you just say about America? Never mind. Never mind. N mind Grace Coolraet everyone. Graces Cool S.

Do us a favor if you could, and tell them the daily show Yearss Editition sent you to support the show He's a Canadian economist, former governor of the Bank of Canada, and Bank of England. Please welcome to the program, Mark Carney. Sir Welcome, sir. I welcome you to our land, Americon We are soon to be Well, there was a border when I came, John. When was the last time you checked Twitter? So you've really involved yourself in I remember you from two thousand eight, and I truly I mean this, your work in helpeling Canada get through the economic crisis of two thousand eight, the financial crisis that hit this country terribly, and I thought made a lot of really painful decisions for the people of this country. I thought Canada avoided the worst of that And I believe you played a very strong role in that. We did I mean, thank you. We did. Y And but We You know, we did because we didn't do things that we didn't understand So we didn't let our banks do things that they didn't understand just because all the other banks were doing them So subpime, CDO squared, really, you know, fancy derivatives. You're saying you didn't let you thought Let's not let the banks dissolve mortgages into a particulate matter mix it into cups. throw it off Yeah. throw it in the air and then sell that. Throw it in the air, take a big profit, pay themselves a lot of money Y then it hits the ground. How did you not have to do that We didn't understand it, John of the bed back It's all turn, it's all it turn So you've gone off now and you've worked with Brexit and the Bank of England trying to ease that. my idea Brexit wasn't? Yeah. No, you're Canadian. You're very polite. veryer nice. You're never one of those like, I want to leave a union. No, you stay in it until it dies What are they making up there of the overtures and sort of trolling to Canada about being a part of the United States? Well, I mean, the bottom line is not going to happen due respect overture I mean, because you don't want you don't want Well,'re we're proud. We find you very attractive. but we're not we're not moving we're not not moving in with you. It It's not you, it's us U have If we do things a little differently in Canada, we believe in. I just want that before you go any further. I'm up for it. We're up for it. whatever you do differently We want experiment too. What do you guys want? Iking me you want like be friends There' going be a few benefits, John, friendriends with benefits, but not we're going commit all the way. Benefits of trade, benefits of you know defense. Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, we'll be cool about it. We won't levy tariffs on all your goods as retribution for you not going out with us. We respect your boundaries Is there a fear now that there will be an economic trade war witha? How much of this do you believe is blustered? And how much preparation do you need to do for it? Well, we have to prepare for it. And I think know you look at what happened F six years ago, when we did have a similar situation with trade warant There was a lumber and there was only a few thingsum Lumber' very important to us, John. The You know, Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, right Why dot I feel like I feel like you're breaking up with me the entire interview. This is We're resetting the relationship. And we're gonna be stronger. We're gonna be stronger going forward because, as you say, Yeah. No, I'm just getting swiped left hard as hell Do you think this time, you know, look, I don't know that Americans know that fifty percent of, you know our Fuel comes from Canada. Yeah. Yeah, the electricity for this show comes from Not this show. We got some solar up on the. oururs only comes from Venezuela. We're that leftist. It's that bad. Well,, you know, that brings a point F and a half million barrels, a little more than that of oil come from Canada to the United States. And if you don't take that oil the way your refineries are, your other option is Venezel So okay, so that's it's funny you bring that up. We're taking them over as well. Okay Are you surprised at, is America generally? know, I think we've always been known as we like to live our values and speak them It feels like this administration is going to be more explicit about what's really happening. Hey, what's up, Greenland I don't know if you know this, but you have something under your soil that we want. so You' ours. You know, I feel like past administrations would do the same thing, but they would be like, and we're liberating you. L they would make it a high minded affair. Is it easier to deal with someone that is transactional at his core in that way Take your time. No, I'm going to take my time. No, I think in the end it's not. because in the end in a relationship, I'm gonna to keep the relationship. Oh my God. If we're going to build therapy, what is happening very time I you're like, I hear you. I hear. I made a few resolutions this year, John, and it was still in January. But you've got it Youve gott to have some shared values. youve gott to be able to predict how the otherth is going to behave. So it's not just A series of transactions.. Look, we can do a series of transactions We're f We're in a strong position. You you want to do a series of deals think I We can do that. Yeah. What's much better is to look at our Look at everything we've had, John together. we could We we were just about to lean it and you like, man. if it's late and you're drunk, you call us, it's cool. Yeah. But I would rather we mean something to each other. Yeah. So that ye, we get something out of this together like Sunday afternoon in the park That's I' talking about So right now, there is turmoil. Trudeau has resigned. Yes. There will be new elections. When Do you know when the new elections are? They have to be by October They could come sooner. Sooner than October. Sooner than October, Yes. What would be the trigger of the election sooner? Well, it would be likely the choice of the current governing party, which is the Lberal Party And you are of the Liberal Party? I am of the Liberal Party, yes. Are they looking for a new leader? I think they might be John. Sir, may I recommend to you with your charm and debonaire wit, yet strong financial backbone that you offer yourself as have you offered yourself as leader I just started thinking about it when you sa J that this will blow your mind. So the consonservatives are run by Pierre Polliiev. Yes. Did I say that correctly? Yes. It's a fictional JK Rowling name at best. Pierre Polliiev. This is and this always fascinates me. I want to show this. This is so Trudeaux, obviously. The other guy is Pierre Poliv. And he is Trudeau's rival, yes They look like Tw fictional bys school rivals in L or like Pollyia seems like a villain in a like Karate kid movie Like there's something very, very off putting. What is he like in person Yeah Buddy. Take you other not you're not far off. He He is I'll say this. There is a type of politician You have a few of them here in the United States. I think we just stop it. Yeah. They had a lot in and around Brexit. Yes. And we have Mr. Poliv in Canada, a type of politician who tend to be lifelong politician. Really Tnd to worship the market. They've never actually worked in the private sector. Right. And they see opportunity in tragedy, like you just had with California fires, these horrible fires.re. And they see opportunity in tragedy to push an agenda that Here's one they prepared earlier. and they fit it in. And so whether it was Brexit here, often, you know, the star of the Beast type approach, So Pier Paiev When COVID started hisis reaction was This is a good time to cut spending and cut taxes Everyone's just been pushed out of a job Nobody's got worked. so let's cut the taxes on the work they don't have and let's take away the social safety net When everybody's vulnerable. Wow. Yeah. And how did that work out for? Wellfortunately, he was in opposition. so. Oh, that was his idea That was his idea... And the people now, see the headwinds for this more right wing populism though are all around the world. And it feels like Canada is no different there. I mean, did Trudeau bow out because he knew he wouldn't win? Is this an attempt to give the liiberal partarty there a chance I think it does give the Liberal Party a chance, yes. Right. And he did that purposefully came to that yeah, he came to that conclusion. He came to that conclusion? or Nancy Pelosi called him and said. was somewhere somewhere in the middle Somehere Myirical comedy shows up there, did a bit that made fun of him for five minutes, and he fell apart So who are the top contenders right now that you believe give the Liberal partarty the best chance? Pollyiev is going to be their champion, yes? Absolutely. Yes. Who would give the best opportunity? Well, I think in a situation like this, you need change you need to address the economy. We've got an economic crisis because of what mis. Trump is about to do or saying he's about to do. But we also have challenges in housing, cost of living Did you have the same inflationary pressures that we faced here You know, I can debate the absolute level, but we had the same inflationary pressure as well. No, we will debate the absolute level, right? Well I don't think I think the look Canadia's been very hard pressed in the last few years.. Wages have not kept up with inflation.eople are know peopleeople are falling behind not getting ahead Housing' very expensive And there's this broader concern Again, exclamation point put on by the Trump tariffs about what the future brings. The world's more divided, it's more dangerous. What are we going to do and Tuth be told, the government has been not as focused on those issues as it could be We need to focus on them immediately That can happen now, and that's what this election' I do. Can I tell you something? Feel life You're looking in the mirror We just had that election. Yeah. Run. When I say run, I mean not for office. I mean run the other way. That It's so hard. when the headwinds are like that, it's really difficult for a candidate to come in who is saddled with the policies that are let Let's say just throw it out are you trying to preserve the relationship?. A wild hypothetical. Let's say the candidate wasn't part of the government. Let's say the candidate did have a lot of economic experience. Let's say the candidate did deal with crisis. Let's say the candidate had a plan to deal with the challenges in the here and now., you're running as an outsider. I am an outsider. Wow, that's so you're going to be coming in there to say, I have not been in the government. I have worked in the financial markets. I understand all the things that go around trade. I mean, you worked, look, let's take the California FIres. You've done an awful lot with the banks with insurance industries you understand very particularly what's happening out there in California? Very particularly. I mean, ten years ago Government of Bank of England you oversee the Lloyds of London, which does all the insurance for exactly this type of stuff Ten years ago, they're saying there's going to be a lot more fires So we're going to have a lot less insurance. lot less insurance as we've seen, unfortunately in California, and this, I mean, it's an absolute tragedy with people going through a lot less insurance. placelac like Canada. last year, you may have noticed here in New York We had a few fires in Canada. Yes I' going talk you about that later. The fire The fires in Canada, including where I was born, my hometown, Fort Smith, Northwest Territoryies, around where I grew up in Alberta These find one second. Re Sall town. to from Alberta, and they've probably been sleeping the whole time they heard the name. There the bus going Alberto? What what are we doing here all You got the fires. We got the fires. Got the fires jon. Yeah If the fires alone would have made Canada the fourth largest emitter in the world after the United States, China, and India. Just the fires. Just the fires alone And this You could see this coming ten years ago as the insurance companies and now We're dealing with this. Which is why we need to act more broadly on the issue of Th climate and everything else. Let me ask you a question about this because this speaks to what these Republican politicians are saying. They keep saying, oh, this DEI, Lloyds of London, insurance companies. Ten years ago, they make risk assessments and they change policies. Did they change those policies because they assess the risk of lesbians being in the firefighting department? Or did they go, cllimate change is happening, and these fires are going to be more damaging and they're going to happen more frequently. And so we're going to be changing our rates and we're going to be dropping policies It's whichich one did they go with? very decidedly the second. they have seen is the number of these extreme events that they insure. Remember, they're pulling back insurance from you know, you can't get insurance in many coastal areas in Florida. You can't get insurance obviously in Los Angeles. So they've been pulling back and still Even with all that sophistication, the number of these extreme weather events that they ensure have gone up three times and the cost of it has gone up five times. R So they are furiously backpeding. And this gets us to the rub, which I think is Wh I feel like we're in such a vice when it comes to climate change and political feasibility, and what can we reasonably expect people's virtue to accomplish. You have always You've championed with the banking industry, ESG projects, you've championed climate projects, as soon as these big banks got a hold that Donald Trump was going to be back in office, they all bailed They all bailed on all these commitments that they made And you're left in some ways holding the carbon tax bag Is that going to make your running more difficult? Wellow, you packed a lot into that. I did. Can I tell you something? I read your Wikipedia page. The Remind me to edit it later on two things. O, what the banks and it's only the American banks, but what they decided to do is to f I't know there were other banks go focus on financing. But in terms of for Canada what we need to do is make sure that We're addressing these issues, doing our bit. making our companies more competitive because you know what's going to happen in the United States Five years from now, you're going to care about it again. 're going have an election you're going to care about it again. And We better be in a position where we've done our b at that point. But we need to do it in a way The Canadians today are not paying the price. Right. Now how do you do that? That's the rub. How do you make proactive measures on future disasters feasible in a political moment today? Every time I've seen a gas tax or a carbon tax floating, it's not politically feasible. So the vast majority of our emissions in Canada come from our industry Almost thirty percent of our emissions from Canada come from the production shipment of oil to the United States. You're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah. So part of it is Cleaning that up. gettingting those emissions down more than changing in a very short period of time the way Canadians live Right. But you're not obviously. take away our oil. You' gonna We'd like to take well, you don't apparently want the oil as much as you used to. Have you decided to run yet? Because a lot of people in the Liberal Party in Canada have said specifically, they will not run. I think they fear the headwinds in this election. decided I can I say one thing on that? I want to defend because this is a very important point. So if you look at our foreign mininister, Yes Melanie Joli Our finance mininister Dominiic Leblan Steve McKinnon, who's our labor minister. They are not running in part because there's a crisis right now because of the threat of the Trump tariffs. So they're saying I won't run because I want to focus on yeah, country before party and personal ambition. and it's absolutely R right So but do you say I don't have a job? I don't have a job. ye. You don't have a job presently. Well, I do, but it's you know, youN dollars.o Coy with me. I love the chase. I love this cat and mouse. Well, we had to shake things up. We are We are having We've spiced up our relationship tremendously throughout this interview. So Congratulations on announcing on this program that you are. be the leader here to the hands Carny, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back after this season. Sir To put an even bigger damper on Trump's one hundred day celebration, our neighbor to the North celebrated last night in a very disrespectful way. Taking on Trump and winning at the ballot box. Last night, Canada's prrime Minister Mark Carney and his liiberal party winning reelection after a stunning turnaround. Voters were swayed by US tariffs and comments from President Trump about making Canada the fifty first state I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump because Trump is, I'm sorry to say, an asshole What have we done? We've turned Canada's cutest nanas into foul mouth explanive machines And I know I'm sorry to say he's an asshole doesn't sound bad to us, but in Canada, she's Cardi B Cardy BC, you know British Columbia. Yes, thanks to Trump, the Liberal partarty just pulled off a historic comeback, winning all the major Canadian demographics, hockey moms, hockey dads, hockey non binaries, hockey seniors, hockey hockey players. and of course Tott Ryans. The winner of all this anti Trump energy was new Prime Minister Mark Carney, and his victory is all the more impressive when you see that he is not the most traditionally electric candidate A system that while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for a country for decades, is over. We are over We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. What takeward We have to look out for ourselves. Wow. This lady was trying to be his hype manan and he's like, M, please, this is a victory party No place for excitement It was Mark Carney doing that the whole campaign? What do we do? Fight! No, no, no, quiet down. That was rhetorical. It's not what this is a boot So there is some good news for Donald Trump and it comes right out of my own home state of Michigan, where the state motto is, Welcome to Michigan. We're sorry about Kid Rock For decades now, the only bridge between Canada and Detroit has been the Ambassador Bridge. But in Trump's first term, Canada started construction on the Gordy Howe Bridge, and Trump was so excited about it that he even got a little poetic. America is deeply fortunate to have a neighbor like Canada We have before us the opportunity to build even more bridges and bridges of cooperation and bridges of commerce Remember when he used to pretend to try At the time we were like, look at him phoning in diplomacy. Now we're like, Dear God, please phone in some diplomacy Anyway, the point is the bridge is almost complete, which will soon open up a public crossing that will enrich both our nations Trump must be so excited for this new era of U. S. Canadian friendship. This morning, President Trump threatening to block the opening of a brand new bridge between Canada and the US. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them Fship After all, what has friendship ever done for Trump other than associate him with the world's largest sex trafficking ring? Still, mister President, this bridge is a win win. Canada is paying for all of it, and they're going to share ownership with Michigan. We get a public bridge instead of having to pay tolls to the billionaire owner of the ammbassador bridge. Why would the president oppose that? The owner of the older ammbassador brridge, Matthew Maroon, lobbied the Trump administration on the same day president unleashed his tirade about the Gordy House ban Oh, I see. You were for it. Then one of your donors called you and you immediately turned Against it I mean, say what you want about Trump. He is always transparent with his corruption You never have to follow the money with him, you know? The money is like, I'm going to Donald Trump, I'll drop you a pin. mister Jordan looks like he soved me r. Wait, who said that?

With this, your punishment may be erased. Oh wow, yeah, you know this's a tough one you now, mis. Is it a bbee? Mother? s. But I'm sorry Troll Troll, Trump is just not that complicated. Its always comes down to a bribe. Why are you been guarding a bridge anyway? Because I tried to bribe Trump by buying his crypto, but then it crashed and I lost everything. So I live here now.
