Trump Has Disaster Saturday as Canada Strikes Back

It's Saturday morning and Donald Trump is posting about golden ballrooms attached to the White House and Indy car racing in Washington DC while Prime Minister Karni of Canada addressed his nation and the rest of the world about the Trump regime's bad faith tactics which led Karni to tell the Canadian negotiators in Washington DC you can't do a deal with bad people and the Trump regime are bad people led by a felon at the top led by a sexual predator at the top now Prime Minister Karni didn't use those exact words but his speech to the Canadian people which just wrapped up and I also believe it was a speech to the rest of the world about the new order that is being formed where the United States is isolated and weaker and frankly weirder under the Trump regime Karni addressed all of these factors and it was powerful indeed Donald Trump though this morning posting about his golden ballroom tremendous work being done on the magnificent ballroom military complex being built on the grounds of the White House Donald Trump posted this morning and then the official White House account goes BRB America's 250th is going full throttle they're doing some weird IndyCar racing through Washington DC with all of these corporate sponsors looking for quid qucoes with the Trump regime it is so utterly deranged meanwhile Prime Minister Karni actually addressing a major issue the United States threatened 50% tariffs against Canada unless Canada made a deal with the United States earlier this week it seemed that there was some progress being made but Canada always made it clear that no deal is better than a bad deal and then Friday night before the new deadline was set to expire as Donald Trump always changes the deadlines we learned that Prime Minister Karni told his negotiators leave Washington DC right now the Trump regime is engaged in bad faith techniques now what the Trump regime was trying to do in addition to all of its other bad faith demands was also at the very last minute they demanded that Canada couldn't do the trade deals that Canada was doing with other nations throughout the world the US wanted to monitor and block Canada's ability to do trade deals elsewhere that was the final straw for Prime Minister Karni especially as Prime Minister Karni has been making these major deals throughout the world as Canada has demonstrated its predictability and reliability while the Trump regime has turned the United States into a like developing nation complete catastrophic authoritarian mess over here and I think that's putting it nicely so Prime Minister Karni addresses the nation and the world responsibly this morning while Donald Trump is engaged in that weird behavior Prime Minister Karni made it very clear that we left when the Trump regime was engaged in bad faith tactics we were not going to give in here's what he said so last evening I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa we cannot accept what they've offered and we will not give what they've asked Prime Minister Karni then talked about how I think that especially right now given all that's going on in the United States I think they probably need our energy and they whine about Donald Trump is whining about deficits with Canada I mean you do realize that it's not real it's because we send you most of the energy you need and this has been official to you like you get that right so while Donald Trump has started this catastrophic war in Iran where energy is kind of needed and you want to pick this fight with Canada now who's always been there for you and who's always had your back this is what you're doing Trump in the United States here play this clip another prominent justification for US tariffs has been their claim that since the United States runs quote a trade deficit with Canada we were ripping them off also a quote but the US's narrow merchandise trade deficit only exists because the US buys so much of its energy from Canada Canada fuels American growth supplying 99 percent of their natural gas imports 85 percent of their electricity imports 60 percent of their crude oil imports I don't think they want us to stop sending any of that energy hardy then goes over the main reason why these negotiations fell apart before Friday evening and carney says yeah this then Trump tried to introduce this concept where we can't do deals with other nations here play this clip the US introduced at the last hours in the last hours efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals you heard me say a moment ago what we've accomplished in the last year 20 new deals economic and security partnership the prospect of doubling our market access because we believe in free trade we're the partner of choice in many respects for countries around the world and the Americans wanted to restrict that they had language that they wanted to restrict unacceptable prime minister carney talks about how Canada was always warning that America would always try to break us they would always just come up with a different excuse about what they were trying what they were mad at today but the intent was to own us and to break us and the Canadian people know that that's why the Canadian people went elbows up that's why you have this boycott of US tourism that's why you have this boycott of US products here's a prime minister carney said let's play it last spring I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us and I promise that that will never ever happen we are keeping that promise Canada is becoming stronger and less dependent on America we are already giving ourselves more than they can take away and we are just getting started prime minister carney said and look if the Trump regime thinks that these tariffs will divide us this is a massive miscalculation let's play it the new US tariffs are designed to hurt us and divide us they're a miscalculation they're a miscalculation because Canadians will always take care of each other we know we're stronger together in the last year and a half Canadians have met this moment with resolve with purpose with strength many ways vacationing in national parks buy in Canadian products choosing Canadian small acts of solidarity repeated millions of time that make a statement we're masters of our destiny prime minister carney was then asked by the Canadian press why does it feel like today mark carney is going to war a trade war prime minister carney said because we were attacked because we are in a trade war the United States declared a trade war against us and we're going to respond and we're going to win that is the posture Canada is in right now your play the slip why does it feel like today mark carney is going to war trade war the tone because we're attacked like you're at war when you get attacked we got attacked US put 50% we waited until the United States decided to actually implement the so-called 338 tariffs that's fine we've got the reserves we got the resilience we've got the plan we've got the focus we were respond we're going to focus on what we can control we're going to build then we heard from the conservative premiere of Ontario Doug Ford here's what he had to say play this clip and again i'm going to give the prime minister credit one more time it's very complicated folks and you know president trump he can't be trusted simple as that he changes the deal he keeps moving the goal post you know let me tell you about president trump president trump is a type of person that would steal your lunch money the first day he'd steal the two cough your head the second day and the third day he'd steal your running shoes he is not to be trusted whatsoever we need to say united meanwhile you have the United States trade representative this morning jaymus and greer whining and trying to portray the United States as some victim of canadian aggression because canada responded to the United States attacks greers like why would they do retaliation against us because you attack them here play this clip so what do you expect to happen from here do you think trade talks will get back on on track or will there be a pause here for a while uh it's hard to say we don't have new talks planned with the canadians we're moving forward uh with measures that responded canadian retaliation remember as president trump has introduced a trade policy to reshore american production protect american jobs two countries have retaliated against the United States the peoples Republic of china and canada and canada does a lot of business with china they do they do and they continue to retaliate and after a year of that retaliation we've said enough and so we've taken countermeasures our interest isn't protecting american workers and protecting american supply chains we've been offering to bring the stadiums along on that path really to cut the tariffs on them on steel on tariff autos even lumber things that are sensitive for them uh and and they've always had the best deal and they still would have an even better deal uh but they didn't want that all right. And he says our goal has always been get the best deal for the Canadian people, but never a deal at any price or at any arbitrary timeframe. We're going to do the best deal for Canada and we're not going to give in to these bizarre and bad faith Trump tactics here play this clip. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or at any time frame. Prime Minister Carney talked about how Canada realized before many in the world, perhaps first in the world, that America was going to transform all of its commercial relationships and attack its trading partners and Canada had prepared for it in the long run here play this clip. We've been under no illusions. We recognized from the start that America has changed. Early last year in this room, I observed that the decades-long process of steadily increasing integration between our economies was over. Our government understood before many that America would transform all of its commercial relationships that it would put a series of tariffs on its closest allies and use economic integration as a weapon. We recognized that sometimes its signature was written in pencil. Prime Minister Carney talks about the cumulative effect of all of the bad faith demands in these discussions with the Trump regime, including new demands at the last minute, just made it clear you can't do a deal with these people. You can't do any deal with bad people like this, especially you can't do a good deal with bad people. Let's play this clip. And while we believed earlier this week that we were moving towards, moving towards a mutually beneficial agreement, in recent days the United States proposed new terms, the run economic, unfair and undermine the net benefits for Canada and called into question the reliability of any deal. In short, they asked too much and they offered too little. More fundamentally, the cumulative effect of U.S. demands revealed the limits of their commitment to a true economic partnership. Prime Minister Carney then goes and explains how over the past year, the U.S. imposed tariffs against Canada, against Mexico, against others, and would just come up with different justifications. Oh, we're mad at you because of the bridge. We're mad at you because you did commercials about Ronald Reagan using Ronald Reagan's words that Reagan was in a fan of tariffs. You were mad at you because of this. And it's like, okay, you dollar just a bunch of sociopaths under the Trump regime here. Play this clip. Well, the past year, the U.S. has imposed a series of tariffs that violate its commitment under our agreement with them in Mexico, so-called Kuzma. The United States has continually changed the rationale for these actions, from fentanyl, to taxes on U.S. tech giants, to certification of U.S. aircraft, to the sharing of tools of a bridge that Canada built and paid for, to our dairy policy. To provincial decisions, not to sell American alcohol during the trade war. To a television advertisement that quoted Ronald Reagan, to smoke from wildfires while they threatened our communities. Prime Minister Carney then talks about how Canadian exports to the United States helped the American people. It lowers the cost for American families. Tariffs are taxes, but Donald Trump doesn't care about that, because Trump doesn't care about the American people. Let's play it. On the other hand, Canadian exports to the United States lower costs for American families. From contrast, tariffs are taxes. Taxes which are ultimately paid by U.S. consumers. Prime Minister Carney then says that Canada will impose a retaliatory regime matching Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar. Play this clip. Now, Canada will match Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses. Our response will be concentrated in sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Also include products that are currently subject to unjustified section 232 and 338 tariffs. This is a focused response. A focused response to protect and defend our industries and allow them to compete with U.S. products in the Canadian market. And he says Canada is the best economy, the best connected economy in the world. And the Trump regime got jealous of that. And that's one of the reasons they wanted to inject a new term in the deal that we couldn't keep on doing deals with other countries. Because Trump can't do deals anywhere other than trying to bully, which everybody's like, "No, man, we don't want to do that. What are you doing?" And everyone's standing up to him. Trump wanted to impose that Canada, you can't do deals with other country provision here. Play this clip. Canada is now the best connected economy in the world. Over the last year, we have signed more than 20 trade and security deals across five continents. We completed our most recent deal with the United Arab Emirates in a record 47 days. Canadian businesses now enjoy tear-free access to one and a half billion consumers. Over the next six months, we'll double that number through new trade deals from ASEAN to India. More for Prime Minister Canada, more for Prime Minister Cardi of Canada, talking about how Canada is the best economy in the world, the best connected. Let's play it. Canada is building such unparalleled market access because we're trusted, because we're reliable, and because we have what the world wants. That's why the world is coming to our door. In just three weeks, we'll host the first Canadian investment summit in Toronto. The summit is attracting the world's largest investors who collectively manage over 100 trillion dollars in assets. When they get here, they'll find a Canadian economy that has never been more connected or more ambitious. And then Prime Minister Cardi talks about how we've consistently proposed long-term partnerships. America's rejected that. We're moving on here. Play this clip. Last month, when the United States announced another round of unjustified tariffs, I gave our negotiating team a new mandate to seek a fair deal negotiated in good faith. Because I believe that people on the ground, on both sides of our border, want this relationship to work. The bonds between Canadians and Americans are long, and they remain strong. Immutually beneficial trade agreement is possible. One that respects our sovereignty. One that builds on our complementary strengths. One that lowers costs for families on both sides of the border. One that creates good jobs for our workers. Canada. Canada has always worked towards these goals. Even while America's attention and dedication to them have wavered. We've consistently proposed long-term partnerships. While America has often pursued short-term transactions. The gap between partnership and competitor unfortunately has remained too wide in recent days. So last evening, I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what they've offered, and we will not give what they've asked. I do find it fascinating when I look at how this is being covered in the United States. Take a look right here. The latest updates on trade negotiations between Canada and the United States. Left-wing media is covering it. Center media is covering it. There's zero right-wing media coverage on the fact that Prime Minister Karni walked away from Donald Trump threatening Karni. I mean, think about the level of snowflakeness on the right-wing that they can't even handle the fact that their dear leader, Donald Trump, his threats are not working. So you have very little to no coverage on the right-wing of all of the coverage that's taken place on this 68% from so-called left-wing sites, 32% from so-called center sites, and on the right-wing, there's been no coverage at all. By the way, that's why I partner with Ground News for this episode because they're a tool that helps me stay objective with my reporting. Ground News is an app in a website that pulls in thousands of articles from around the world. Organizes them by story to show you how the left center and right are framing the story differently. They have a color-coded layout and makes it easy to see the political bias of each source, also whether a source is independently owned or whether there are large media conglomerate and it lets you compare the reporting on the same issue like I just showed you there. That's why I like Ground News with that dedicated blind spot feed. I believe in Ground News so much. We're going to offer you 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. So just go Go click the link in the description or go to ground.new/mtn or scan the QR code. our code up here. It's one of the biggest discounts they've ever offered. If you want to support this channel and get a clearer understanding of the world, try out ground news one more time, go to ground.new/mtn and get that 40% off the same vantage plan that I use for my research. And it's important that we have good media literacy because the Trump regime uses propaganda every day of the worst kind. So this morning again, Donald Trump rushes to Barack Reveed at Axios. He's back, right? It's either Trey Inx of state regime media Fox, who's based in Tel Aviv or Barack Reveed of Axios, who's also based in Israel. Those are the two main reporters for the Trump regime's propaganda. Barack Reveed says siren emoji, boat emoji, oil barrel emoji. That's how you know it's going to be big folks. Around 40 tankers transited in and out of the straight of Hormuz through the southern deep channel on Friday night. Around 16 million barrels of oil moved out of the straight through the southern channel on Friday night alone. Three US officials told me. So he's three US officials. It's probably always the same people in my opinion. It's probably Whitcoff. It's probably Kushner and maybe one other person so they can say three. They just picked a random number. Around 40 tankers transited in and out. Around 16 million barrels. Folks, this is all false. Maybe there was five tankers. Maybe. Maybe there was four million barrels, five million barrels. Maybe there ain't 16 million barrels. Folks, there's a very basic economic concepts here of supply and demand. And there's a reason why our strategic petroleum reserves have hit tank bottom and we keep on drawing on them. And they're not being refilled. There's a reason why the price right now of diesel and gas is through the roof. Why even the price of crude the paper crude market WTI and Brent is going up up up and may hit $100 a barrel soon. As you know, the price of diesel is hitting like $200 a barrel. That crack spread at about $102 a barrel. That's the delta between your diesel refinery price and your crude price in your three to one spread. It gets a little more complicated. But that's basically what it is. And it's because this is not happening. If we were bringing out all this oil, then gas prices would be going down and everything would be much cheaper. But it's all a damn lie. It's all a damn lie. Meanwhile, in the Netanyahu regime, they are moving closer and closer and closer to trying to have trying to provoke Turkey into a war. The Jerusalem Post saying that the lessons Israel learned in the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran apply to Turkey as well. From Idlib to Istanbul, Israel will attack if necessary, not defend. And we've been seeing the steady drum beat in the Netanyahu regime for war with both Syria and escalating the war in Syria and with Turkey. And we saw the Netanyahu regime strike the airport end of last week in Syria, saying that it's because and it was near Turkey, the air base as well, saying it's because Syria and Turkey were cooperating with each other. And Israel's defense minister this morning named Israel Katz said the IDF recommended multiple times to carry out the strike at the Abu al-Dahar airfield in Syria, based on clear information and intelligence received regarding Turkey's intention to conduct operations that would endanger Israel's security. Okay, so that's where they're going now. Bring the war. It's not enough genocide in Gaza, Lebanon. Now war with Syria, which Netanyahu's diaspora minister the other day said, well, that's like a Gaza on steroids, Syria is what he said. And then Turkey and we'll keep on we'll keep on following that. Also, as you know, Treasury Secretary Bessons attempt to manipulate various markets. It's now all kind of collapsed and all fallen apart. I've looked at Bessons background, by the way. And he was like his mega arc was that dude was a failure. When he went on his own and created his own fund, it went from a five billion dollar fund to a five hundred million dollar fund pretty quickly because he wasn't that good. And that was his mega arc. And his arc was just kind of always betting against the economy and shorting economy. And that's kind of how he fell into Trump's good graces. But like his fund lost like 90 percent of its value, I think. You know, or some huge number like that. And so he's not like he he's an idiot like he's the you know, people act like this guy knew it. He said, no, this guy's a total idiot. Financial Times reporting today, Bessons bond market battle. It's starting to look like his bosses war in Iran, a tangled set of objectives and underestimated opponent in the bond market and an implausible path to victory. And like the conflict in the Middle East, we're all going to suffer. I mean, you look at US former allies like Qatar, Qatar slash government budgets by up to 30% cut overseas aid by roughly 85% as the Iran war has devastated its liquefied natural gas dependent economy. The IMF projects Qatar's GDP will contract 8.6% in 2026. Great work, Qatar given Kushner all that money. And meanwhile, and meanwhile, when you I was taking a look at this morning as well on Iranian TV, Iran's military chief visited an underground ballistic missile production facility showcasing the major ramp up in weapons output since the war began there. He says by God's grace, they have been able to produce equipment far better than in the past. In terms of quantity, they have managed to scale production significantly higher than before state media highlighted a threefold increase in kamikaze drone production since the start of the conflict and claimed Iran now ranks among the world's top 10 missile powers and sixth in drone capability. And this guy, this Iranian military chief showed the whole drone facility and they've got a lot of weapons in this one underground facility alone. So in Donald Trump's like they don't have anything. They're done. They don't know. It's just they have a lot of missiles. There you have it. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching everybody.
