Why Canada's Election Results Are A Golden Opportunity For Trump, America & Alberta
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Um... Very drunk!
Nobody ever knows.
And here I thought you could talk to me.
I understand.
Nobody ever knows.
And here I thought you could talk to me.
I understand.
here I thought you could talk to me.
I'll just cut it.
Welcome to the Rumble lineup live every day all the way up until and including 4 p.m. Eastern.
It's 11 a.m. Eastern, which means it is this show, weekdays.
And you don't need to change that dial.
We are incredibly grateful that you are here making these shows number one in their time slot for live streaming.
Legacy Media can't handle these seven kinds of smoke.
I think that's a term.
I don't know.
I saw it in a film once.
I decided to adopt it.
And, of course, welcome, Bongino Army, or Vince, viewers.
Vince, which comes from Vincente.
Of course, it stems from the Latin.
It's the base of all romance languages, which translates to roughly...
So today, we're going to be talking about a couple things.
The Canadian elections allow me to make the case, as a half-Canadian, I was born in the States but raised there from 3 to 18 years old, Why Alberta needs to secede and why Alberta should become either a territory or part of the United States.
This is not trolling.
I think it's a viable option.
And Alberta and portions of Canada that are not represented by the current Liberal Party have a choice to make.
They haven't been faced with this before.
Align with communists of their country who are also aligned with communists in China.
We'll get into Carney.
Align yourself with the United States.
Alberta is much closer to our values than the rest of Canada at this point.
This is a tectonic shift for the country, and I think there's a case to be made, and I think there's one that could be accepted.
We also have Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Polling who's going to be on the show to talk about Donald Trump's first 100 days and why the latest polling is fake news.
Don't buy it.
It's designed to manipulate you.
It's not designed to reflect you.
On with the show.
with the show.
Remember simpler times?
Remember punch card voting?
When you woke up on a Wednesday morning and actually knew who won the election.
When a pregnant Chad was just an indentation on a piece of paper.
Now it's an emoji.
Remember not knowing what an emoji was?
That was nice.
Remember when celebrities didn't tell you to go out and vote?
I'm drinking milk for good.
They just looked pretty.
And kayaked for no reason.
When the only needles you had to worry about were filled with heroin and not an unproven mRNA injection.
Those were the days when you could just poke a hole through a ballad and Joe couldn't poke his way through a primary.
When good old Joe was consciously lying.
That's what you do when you're raised by a single mom.
Not slowly death rattling his way through a long, tragic, Fugue State?
Remember those days?
His kids sure do.
Punch card voting.
You had to show up in person.
Not like nowadays, where you can mail it in.
You must have a lot of friends to send you all them letters, huh?
No, I don't have any friends.
I wrote these letters myself.
You don't even have to exist at all.
Voices.
It counted.
Unless you were in Chicago.
The more things change.
Punch card voting.
Life is pretty much shit now.

back.
Glad to be with you.
Sorry, we were laughing.
Oh, wait, I gotta switch these up here because this is the...
I was sipping the wrong thing.
Do you have to redo the sip?
No, I don't have to redo the sip we were talking about.
You know how some people...
I didn't switch the mugs!
What's the matter with you?
You know how some people, particularly the lead lady in that this is the Last of Us show, they have like their face is too small for their head.
They look like someone projected a face onto a screen but didn't get the focus ring right where it's like...
No, you got so much more...
Canvas!
It's like one person drew the face and the other person drew the head.
Yeah, exactly.
They're like, ah, too late!
We'll call it impressionistic post-modern art.
Yeah, it doesn't have to have the actual proportions of a face, but that's the face they have.
It's the face God gave them, and God loves them just the same.
Me, not so much.
It's postage stamp face.
Yes, it's postage stamp.
Oh, you're right.
That's a keeper.
I don't want to collect.
We're going to go right into this today.
Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
Excellent.
You?
I'm doing well.
I'm doing okay.
I've replenished.
You were asking me, did I lose 10 pounds?
I did lose like 11 pounds over the weekend, but now I'm about 7.5 pounds back.
It's just dehydration.
Well, wherever you went to get that food poisoning, let me know.
I want to make that a weekly occurrence for me.
Oh, well, you could just do a 60-day...
I could lose 50 by the summer.
Yeah, just go to India.
Yeah.
I got all kinds of things to do.
Just go to India, eat street food?
Well, I'll do that part, but I need a plumbing.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
You could just drink Mexican tap water as well.
There you go.
And you can see him May 23rd, May 24th at Good Night's Comedy Club in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Good club, great city.
Josh Feierstein, how are you?
Excellent.
Good.
I know you have something prepared for us today, because before we get to Mr. Mitchell, and by the way, it's because I know I'm accidentally going to say Mike, even though I know it's Mark.
It just sounds like a...
I'm so bad with basic white guy names and sixes and nines in my memory are interchangeable.
It's like a weird kind of dyslexia.
We're going to get into why the polling is fake news.
But I really want...
Look, I am not Canadian.
I don't know how to revoke my Canadian citizenship.
I'm pretty sure I haven't renewed...
I know I haven't renewed my passport, so maybe that counts.
I'm ashamed of the country.
I'm ashamed there is nothing to be proud of.
This is not a Michelle Obama.
I've only been proud of my country for the first time.
No, no.
I have been growing increasingly ashamed of the country, and now it is a stain on the history of North America.
And there are a lot of Canadians who feel the same way.
Look, Canada is a Marxist hellhole, and if you look at this new man, Carney, they are aligning themselves quite openly with communist China.
When they have the option of playing ball and being fair with the United States, Alberta?
And potentially Saskatchewan, but certainly Alberta, there's a case to be made, and I want you guys to listen.
And Americans.
I know we don't want a huge liberal voting bloc.
That's not what we're looking at with Alberta.
This would be a mutually beneficial relationship for all involved, and we could do it as a territory, we could do it as a state.
Before we get to that, though, this man, who I thought was a cartoon character, turns out he's a person.
Whoops.
Shri Tanadar?
It's his name.
You know, he called for the impeachment of Donald Trump and he outlined seven articles of impeachment.
I don't know if we need to show all of it because it's pretty damn silly, but this person is an actual representative and looks like the missing link.
This is Congressman Shreetanidhar.
Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy, but defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.
That has to be the final straw.
It's time we impeach Donald J. Trump.
Don't you sleep on a bed of that?
The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
Pause.
Why is he going...
And then he just goes, Garcia.
He doesn't do the rolling R. He also said, real.
Real.
I don't know if this is real, or I just don't know if this guy forgot where he's supposed to put in the ethnocentric accent.
Let's keep playing.
We don't know what's real.
Trump ignored it.
He ignored the Constitution.
He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact.
That's why today I introduced a resolution to impeach Donald J. Trump.
Enough is enough.
Donald J. Trump must be impeached.
Thanks, Encino fag.
You said this is the goofiest-looking congressman.
It looks like someone thawed him from ice but should have put him back.
They halfway thought him.
I don't think he's the goofiest-looking congressman.
What?
Who do you think looks weirder?
Well, if you don't mind, I made a list.
No, by all means.
This is actually Josh's, I guess, list of weirdest-looking...
Weirdest-looking congressmen.
This is my list.
Okay. Okay.
Bye. We'll see you next time.
Oh, we gotta...
You really made a list.
Yeah, I made a list.
It's a real thing.
It's my top five right here.
Number five, Michigan Democrat, Bollywood Chris Kattan, and Child Who Can't Fit Into His Father's Suit.
Congressman Sri Tanadar, the guy we just saw.
He's number five.
That's photoshopped, right?
Is this really him?
He smiles like that.
It looks like four people into one photo.
It looks like he put a muskrat on his head that didn't want to be in on the gag.
It does look like Chris Kattan tanned too much.
Yes, it does.
Fun fact, I was doing research on this.
Chris Kattan is Arab.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, that makes sense.
They're both talentless.
Number four on my list of weirdest-looking congressmen, Missouri Democrat, and star of the upcoming Lethal Weapon 6, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver.
Oh.
Yeah.
He's getting too old for this shit.
Yes, he is.
No, he is.
Yes, he is.
Way too old for this.
Number three.
He looks like generic 80s black guy.
He does.
He does, yeah.
I feel like I've seen ten of him.
I know.
Walking everywhere.
Okay.
All right.
He looks like he calls people young man.
Yes, he does.
He does.
Watch out there, young man.
Come on now.
Come on, young man.
Get it together.
Yeah, okay.
And by the way, you guys can send yours in the chat because I'm sure this will be an ongoing thing.
Okay.
Number three weirdest looking congressman or congresswoman.
Maryland Democrat congressman by day.
Necromantic mortician by night.
Jamie Raskin.
Ah.
Yeah, he puts the fun in funeral.
Yes, he does.
Look at this grave digger, dude.
He looks like a mortician who has, like, a hot tip, but it's wrong.
Like, nobody uses embalming fluid anymore.
He looks like he spikes your drink with, I don't know, what's it called?
GHB?
No, I lost the...
Embalming fluid?
Yeah, formaldehyde.
I got there.
Okay, you got there.
I got there.
It's easy to be thrown off by how weird these non-human entities look.
Don't you give him that out.
Yeah.
At one point, somebody told me that there was formaldehyde in maraschino cherries, and I believed them until I was like 24. Is there not?
No.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
That could be anything in there.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's not the color of nature.
They still taste great.
They do.
I don't really care.
Most hammered I ever got in my life was a 92-year-old who asked me over for drinks.
He had white fish paste.
Gross.
Ew.
And he said, hey, you want me to make you a cocktail?
At this point, I had never really consumed a cocktail.
I said, sure, what do you recommend?
He said, how about a dirty Shirley?
She's a whore.
Oh, God.
I was like, well, what's a dirty Shirley?
He goes, let me show you.
He gave it to me, and I was...
I mean, it was basically pure vodka.
Well, then he raped you.
And he put it in.
And then he goes...
He woke up sore the next day.
He goes, you want another one?
And I'm thinking he has to take his heart medication so he couldn't have it.
And I'm like, I don't know.
I will if you will.
He goes, a bird fly on two wings, don't it?
What?
Let's get another whore.
Holy cow.
Is this real?
This is real.
And he drove a Cadillac home.
All right.
Number two.
I wouldn't trust the Sprite.
Number two.
Connecticut Democrat and prime suspect in the disappearance of Hansel and Gretel, Representative Rosa DeLauro.
This peacock-looking lady.
Gosh, you've got to have a trail of breadcrumbs to her office.
Watch out, children.
Dude, she scares me.
How's that not number one?
Well, number one is pretty good.
Number one is California Democrat and Korean George W. Bush, Congressman Dave Min.
Oh, wow.
Spot on.
We have to stop the terror.
Nuclear!
Now watch this drive.
He looks like a Japanese used panty vending machine.
Wait, look, his right ear is significantly larger than his left ear, too.
That's odd.
Well, he could have been a wrestler, in which case I wouldn't want to mess with him.
But he really does look like Korean George Bush.
That's not my son, I swear.
I only met two Korean ladies in my life.
Shit.
All right, that's been Josh Made a List.
Ah! All right.
Bye. Thank you.
Bye.
I was too young for the Korean War, but I like their small feet.
By the way, Dinesh D'Souza said this about Sri Tanadar.
He said, if this guy lived in India, he would be a municipal clerk or waiter, which is a really weird flex.
I guess it's a caste system flex, where it's like, ha, you wouldn't be homeless, but you would be working menial labor that would be insignificant.
You would make enough to live, but not very comfortably.
When I was in India, we had an outhouse, and we had snakes to defend us from the cats.
This is very elitist.
Turns out you need cats to fight the snakes.
We had it wrong.
Cats do fight snakes!
They do.
That's why they have so many cats in India.
No joke.
Oh, you think so?
That is why they have so many cats in India.
We saw that video one time where the snake got, you know...
Oh, yeah.
There are tons of them.
That's how I fall asleep.
By the way, to give you some background on this guy, I don't want to give you seven articles of impeachment because he's a prick.
Sri Tanadar, he's 70 years old.
No way.
He's a representative of Michigan's 13th district, so Detroit.
He has a $40 million net worth.
He was born in India.
Dual loyalty, maybe?
His positions, just in case you didn't know, and all the references we make publicly available, I don't want to misrepresent this.
Young man.
He's pro-union, pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, wants pathway to citizenship for illegals, and in a plot twist, he is surprisingly pro-H1B.
Ha ha ha ha!
And he believes in reducing green card backlogs for Indian and Chinese immigrants.
Also funny, he's pro-LGBTQIAA+.
He posted this tweet.
This is true, a representative with a bunch of furries.
And he said, to all the ellipses with too many dots, in my comments, Happy Pride Month!
I was shitting furballs for a week.
What is that?
Et cetera, et cetera in my comments.
What is he saying there?
What is he saying?
To all the people.
To all the people, I can't keep track.
He didn't want to spell out the LGB in all the other letters.
And he didn't want to leave anybody out.
He didn't want to be accused of being a...
He's a fake.
He's a phony.
He probably thought he was at Disney World.
And this is also why you don't hate the left enough.
When you say, hey, we're all the same.
No, no, no.
Not when people of Detroit are electing that unironically.
Can you think of someone in this country as a working American who represents your values less than a $40 million net worth, potentially dual citizen?
Indian who takes pictures with furries, believes in doing away with the Second Amendment, and uncapping as many H-1Bs coming in from India as humanly possible.
How is that man a representative of any portion of the American public?
They don't put pictures on the ballots.
Well, if they did, people would be like, what?
What the fuck?
Well, because Detroit, they're very liberal, but they're also incredibly racist.
So, he'd have an uphill climb.
So, you know.
Yeah, he'd probably just, like, he adjusted the exposure.
Yeah, you think he made himself darker?
That's my god.
He went either way.
No, they would get it from the hair.
I'm not Indian.
I am East African.
That's right.
I'm not Indian.
I am one of you.
West Punjab.
Did I die?
And now it's time, by the way, for a, uh, I forgot, uh, Ladder with Cutter coffee break.
Oh.
Send in the butler.
There we go.
There he is.
Oh.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Oh, one for me.
Thank you.
You all know I have to have my butler, uh, to also, he has to keep my Lambos warm.
Well, that's nice.
Yeah.
They can freeze.
It's too long to say, Ergini.
Thank you.
Ergini, that's my favorite wizard on Harry Potter.
That is really good.
That hits a spot.
That's nice.
Hey guys, how was your evening last night?
Oh, my evening was good.
Well, besides the thing where I had to go to dinner with my daughter, and I got some chicken stuck in my teeth, and it was hurting all the time, and I had to go to the choir concert.
Yeah, I read a story to my kid.
I had to get something to do, so I went to CBS, tried to get some Floss, but the Floss wouldn't go up.
It was kind of thong in my gums.
That was great.
Okay, break time's over.
I'm glad we did this.
I don't think you heard anything.
And you, too, because this is all we drink at the office, 1775 Coffee, revolting against crappy coffee out there.
And they also support the First Amendment.
They actually do, by the way.
You won't find out they gave all their money to Democrats.
So 1775coffee.com slash Crowder for 15% off.
They come in 16-ounce bags.
Their Peaberry is honestly the best daily coffee that I think is out there.
It bridges that specialty coffee and just a really good salad cup of Joe.
It's all we drink here in the office.
I'm happy with it.
Actually, I'm going to replace this tea with this coffee right now.
Actually, no, I can't because I don't have a coaster.
Now you have too many cups.
Son of a crap.
All right.
You want me to take it?
Well, the cup's on the coaster anyway.
Would you like me to get down on one knee and give you my hand, sir?
Yes.
Then I can write about it in the New York Post.
You can get the butler to take one.
Yeah, I like my butler subservient.
But I also like to have a monocle and white gloves.
Let's move on to Canada.
It's a silly place with silly people who are...
A good portion of Canada is beyond redemption.
Let me be really clear.
Now, yes, there's a problem that the Conservatives there are pussified.
That didn't help.
And I know that many of the Conservatives there want to blame all of their woes on Donald Trump and something, something, something.
But it doesn't matter.
Even if the Conservatives had won this last election, to be clear, it would have been a Band-Aid.
There's a rot in Canada.
Canada's blood has gone septic.
And there is a lone exception, hopefully Alberta.
And the message that I want to send to Alberta before I get into this is, you know, I know you haven't had to fight.
No one in Canada has had to fight a revolutionary war.
You just said, uncle.
So it's a little bit of a different history.
But, you know, it's your country if you can keep it.
Alberta, if you stay, you're not keeping it.
It's not the Canada that you think you know and love, the Canada of the national anthem before it was changed to not offend people.
Right now, it's certain sporting events where they remove God, which I loved was actually in the national anthem.
It's not there anymore, Albertans.
And this is a genuine plea and a case that I want to make to people of Alberta, maybe some folks in Saskatchewan.
Let's get past the trolling and the idea of being the 51st state.
There's a way to make this work where you no longer have to be shackled to the communists of your country, who, by the way, are yoked with the communists of China.
This is an inflection point.
It's a fork in the road.
You have a choice to make.
And I really think that the United States could make it not only a more painless one, but a far more fruitful one.
Let me go just through a little bit of history.
Canada's had a serious string of massive problems.
They've had a housing crisis.
They've had an immigration disaster.
They've had stagnant economic growth.
They have citizens who've been killing themselves, now legally, en masse because it's better than the alternative.
The MAID program.
Yes, yes.
And last night, the Canadian people, but not in Alberta, not in a lot of the Maritimes.
Unfortunately, your vote doesn't matter all that much in the parliamentary system.
The other Canadian folks voted for...
More of the exact same thing.
The Liberal Party led by and the charter written by Trudeau, but now their current representative, empty suit Mark Carney.
And to give you an idea, Canada is so insignificant and so ineffectual in comparison to the United States that it would make no difference if Canada were to elect Mark Carney or an actual Carney.
We wouldn't be able to discern the difference.
And Alberta, you don't want to hitch your wagon to that.
This brings us to Know Canada.
Know Canada, you've come once again.
Our CBC News decision desk is ready to make a call.
Music
Canada's next government will be a Liberal government.
I thought she was going to yell out, Cool Ranch Doritos!
Whether it will be a minority or majority becomes some of those close races we were talking about.
This marks a fourth Liberal mandate.
Very rare in Canadian politics.
But the Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, has pulled it off.
A stunning reversal.
A Liberal comeback with a first-time politician as leader.
You're looking live there at the Liberal Party headquarters right now.
Yeah, the conservatives didn't do very well.
Poilievre lost his own seat, the man running for prime minister.
And, of course, a lot of them have blamed Donald Trump because of the tariffs and have put them in an unwinnable position.
But, you know, you can't say that you are your own nation going your own way and then blame your national election results on the country to the south of you if you're truly independent.
And Carney, who is, I would argue, and make the case, and, of course, laying the brain here, has been on this like a dog on a bone.
He's a Chinese shill, to be clear.
This is a really, really...
It's not a Trojan horse.
This is out in the open.
Carney wasted no time, immediately started attacking Donald Trump, the United States.
Keep in mind, right, that's the foreground.
The background is he's been cozying up to China on every level for a long time.
President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us.
That will never, that will never, ever happen.
But China...
But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed.
Okay.
So Donald Trump took to truth and waited on this as far as what he thinks should be the elected leader of Canada.
He said, Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half.
Increase your military power for free to the highest level in the world.
Have your car, steal.
Aluminum, lumber, energy, and all other businesses quadruple in size with zero tariffs or taxes if Canada becomes the cherished, very cherished, 51st state of the United States of America.
No more artificially drawn line from many years ago.
I will say that's important.
I'm coming back to that.
Look how beautiful this landmass would be.
Free access with no border.
All positives with no negatives.
And it...
Was meant to be.
It's like a romantic novel.
And it's important when he talks about artificial lines.
Let me ask you this, because the lines join Alberta with the rest of Canada.
Who, by the way, they're represented by Carney right now.
Alberta, I think it was something like 34 seats out of 37. I don't know the actual number.
Something like that went conservative.
They are not represented by the rest of the...
And the lines adjoin them to communists.
That would be like Texas.
Being the only state left that still believes in the Constitution, and we were surrounded by communists who decided to shred it openly.
That's where Alberta finds themselves.
And Alberta, I get it, a lot of you don't want to be the 51st state because there's Canadian pride.
I understand that.
I think there are multiple ways to skin a cat.
But this brings us to Alberta.
And before I continue, look, if you guys are not Rumble Premium members, we are funded by viewers like you.

Alberta.
Okay.
In Alberta.
All references are publicly available.
Conservatives won the popular vote by a two-to-one margin.
Okay?
Two days ago, Politico ran this headline, the quiet threat to Canadian unity isn't Quebec, it's Alberta.
And the reason, when I grew up in Quebec, right, Quebec wanted to separate all the time from Canada and they would have these referendums, but it never really happened.
Now they're looking at Alberta.
And there was a poll on April 6th as far as how many Albertans would vote for independence.
They said if the Liberals won, 30%.
Geez.
I think that number can get quite a bit higher.
If we cut through the fog a little bit and actually get to the reasons that Alberta, I would argue, not should, Albertans, Canadians, and if anyone else wants to take a sober look at yourself right now, you need to leave Canada.
Canada is not what you thought it was.
Canada is a Marxist hellhole.
And by the way, Alberta, the rest of Canada despises you.
Americans won't.
Americans will welcome you with open arms.
This isn't just trolling.
It's not 51st state and you're subservient.
It's territory or a state.
And you now have access to the world and your people can flourish.
If you choose to stay with Canada, you will wither on the vine and die.
And I'll make the case as to why other Canadians don't want you to be a part.
Of their utopia.
Reason number one, okay?
That's what I just...
Ottawa does not share your values whatsoever.
Ottawa, for those who are American, that's basically their equivalent of Washington, D.C. It's kind of silly to us Americans, but I get that it matters to you.
Ottawa?
Pretty much.
So, Carney, he has extensive...
Ties to China and the CCP.
Beyond the LGBTQ AIP.
Beyond the crazy taxation.
Beyond the liberalization of all social, cultural issues and removal of God from your country's town squares.
He directly aligns himself with the CCP.
Ergo, your liberal government will.
So the CCP, unlike what they tried to accuse the United States elections of being Controlled by Russia.
Remember that?
Remember that whole thing?
CCP pushed online influence campaigns to get Carney elected.
This is verifiable.
This comes from the CBC, to be clear.
In 2017, Carney met with Xi Jinping in private at Davos as China was trying to fight Trump in a trade war back then.
Now, China is importing record amounts of Canadian oil to offset what's happening with the United States.
And Carney has said...
That they need to open up relations more with China.
So they want to narrow relations with the United States, open them up with China.
And this is why the left will have to eventually implode.
But you, you have to be the one here.
You have to be the one pulling that ripcord, Alberta.
It's one thing to say, hey, we have a problem with the United States and these reciprocal tariffs.
It's another thing to say, Donald Trump is a fascist and he doesn't respect human rights.
So we're going to align ourselves with China.
It's not a moral virtue.
That tells you it's about money.
And the money, if you track it with Carney, it's hair-raisingly scary.
Yeah, and under Trudeau, the Chinese military actually trained with the Canadian military.
Yeah.
So it seems like they're just using Canada as basically a way to get at us.
Yes.
And here's the thing, Albertans, and all of you Canadian conservatives, I hope you understand.
When we say that Canada is a bad neighbor, we're talking about people in positions of power.
Who allowed the Chinese military to train with them?
In Canada.
Yes.
You guys understand it?
Alberta, put some distance between yourselves and these guys.
Reason number two, Alberta.
You guys will have more control over your own destiny and be a more prosperous nation or state.
To give you an idea, across all levels, Canadians pay higher income tax and sales tax.
It's unbelievable.
To give you an idea, the highest individual tax rates, too.
In the United States, it kicks in about $626,000.
Canada is $246,000.
My home province of Quebec, the provincial rate was 20-something percent and it kicked in.
Now I think it kicks in at $120,000.
Back in the day, it was below six figures because you're considered really wealthy.
No one there has disposable income.
Alberta, it doesn't need to be this way.
You can have the kind of tax burden that we have here in the United States.
Wouldn't that be a nice relief?
It would also, by the way, allow Alberta to negotiate, if let's say they become some kind of a territory, not the 51st state, to negotiate independently with the United States.
That would be really, that would be a huge benefit considering the energy industry in Alberta and how that is dictated by the rest of Canada, by people in Ottawa who, by the way, don't want Alberta to have their thriving energy industry.
Which brings us...
If they were a territory and they had to negotiate trade between the United States and do the same thing with Canada, they would learn quickly that it would be easier to deal with us.
Alberta, you have a choice.
You want your energy going at rock-bottom prices to China with a wink and a nod?
Or do you want to be in control of your own destiny and choose to trade and choose to engage in trade as far as your energy with the United States?
Or, again, be a state where I can't imagine a more prosperous Alberta.
Reason number three.
This brings us to opening up that energy sector.
To give you an idea, a lot of Americans don't know this.
Alberta accounts for 84% of all oil production.
And almost half of all U.S. oil imports are from Alberta.
There's a lot of red tape.
There's also sometimes you can get crude oil and then it has to be refined and sent back.
Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to do business together?
Wouldn't it be nice to not have to go through Ottawa?
To go back to you guys, to then maybe deal with the states, even though now people like Carney don't want you to because of reciprocal tariffs.
It would also allow the United States, by the way, to have access to far more oil and energy and not have to open up new drilling because you guys already have the capabilities.
It would be a benefit to the United States.
It would be a benefit to Canada.
It would also allow us to negotiate other tariffs if they exist.
If you're not a state, if you're a state, there would be no tariffs.
As far as what industries could reduce the cost of living for Canadians, like dairy, for example.
Like consumer goods that you could get for significantly less money.
So you could have far greater employment because now you have the economic might of the United States along with your natural reserves.
And you could have a much lower cost of living.
Just to give you an idea, this weekend, other Canadians don't want you to have your autonomy, Alberta.
This is what happens with totalitarian regimes.
And when I say totalitarian, I'm talking about the regime that froze truckers' bank accounts.
And many of those truckers, by the way, were Albertans.
That's a huge part of the industry there in Canada.
They froze your bank accounts and seized your assets for speaking out against said regime.
And then you have the media in Canada that condemns you.
You!
Who voted for conservative change 2-1.
An op-ed from the Toronto Star was titled, Perhaps it's time for Alberta, sorry, perhaps it's time Alberta does go it alone and says goodbye to Canada.
In the article, this author raged at the Alberta premiere, Danielle Smith, for wanting to expand your own pipelines.
Why?
Wokeness.
Cultural Marxism.
In other words, it's the lifeblood of your economy.
You have the right to that.
Not according to people in Toronto and Ottawa.
They hate you.
They wrote this.
If Smith has any sensitivity to people elsewhere in Canada, including indigenous peoples, who might object to having pipelines traversing their land, she doesn't show it.
I mean, how much Windex do you guys need to huff?
You can't have pipelines going through your land?
You know this benefits everybody.
Well, should we go back to living off the land and...
Hunting the buffalo to extinction and having zero respect for nature, burning all of our crap and trash like many Native American tribes did?
Or should we go back to their law of the land where they were warring with each other and scalping women and children alive?
You guys looked into the Algonquin and Iroquois, which is, these are the primary tribes in eastern Canada.
That's where I was raised.
I don't necessarily know which tribes were the most prolific there in Alberta.
So what's the implication?
So because of indigenous people, in other provinces, Toronto and Ottawa should tell you, Alberta, what you can and can't do with your energy.
Oh, and by the way, we're also going to tell you where it goes.
We're going to sell it at rock-bottom prices to China because America bad.
This seem like people who represent you?
Do these seem like your countrymen?
That's the country.
That's the question.
Canada, I want you to ask yourself, Albertans, do these people seem like your countrymen?
It's a different question today.
Than it was even ten years ago.
Five years ago.
You basically had a referendum.
You've been squeezed.
Your country's becoming a catastrophe.
And the rest of Canada who hates you says, yep, we want more of the same.
And you can bet they are going to tighten the screws on you, Alberta, because you have not been playing ball with them.
And they're financing.
Part of the people that are coming against them, essentially, because 20-plus billion dollars, I believe it was last year or two years ago, was what they basically sent out above the benefits they received from the federal government.
So they're subsidizing all the rest of these people's lives to be able to do this.
They'd be richer if they didn't.
Not just on the tax breaks alone, just on money going out and benefits coming in.
Change subsidizing the rest of a country who can't stand you to profiting from a nation who welcomes you.
Or at least indifferent.
I guarantee you there would be a lot of Americans who would be very happy.
It would be the first time that you guys had the backbone to say no.
This would be the first time you actively fight something.
It's different with the monarchy.
Look, I know that I'm kind of insulting you here, but I'm telling you that America has a very different history.
We've had to fight for this.
It's different from Canada.
I know that there are fights throughout history, but not to the same scale.
It's your chance to do it, and you can do it without the same level of risk, without the same level of bloodshed.
But I'm telling you, they will bleed this province dry.
What they have been doing isn't working, and they're doing it in the name of hating your values.
Which brings us to reason number four.
You do this, there really wouldn't be any resistance.
Just to be clear.
Like, the likelihood of a war, maybe it's more than 0%, but it's pretty much 0% statistically.
Kind of like your chances in the United States of America as a heterosexual monogamous male getting AIDS.
It's statistically zero.
I know.
It's crazy.
You start meeting people in Los Angeles port-a-potties, guess what?
It goes up a little bit.
So Canada effectively spends nothing on its military.
And as Trudeau said, being the horrible neighbor that he is, and Carney's an extension of Trudeau, Canada won't even reach its 2% commitment to NATO, which they agreed to initially.
That's the contract.
They won't honor their contract.
They won't begin to honor their contract until 2032.
Dale! Dale!
Sorry, right clip.
And another reason to separate.
Here's another right clip.
As we continue such investments, Canada fully expects to reach NATO's 2% of GDP spending target by 2032.
Guys, look, we asked for change.
They're changing.
So Carney apparently is saying that maybe he can do it slightly quicker.
It's not just about setting a target between now and the end of the decade, but it's also spending that money wisely and effectively.
And above all, as much as possible, potentially the majority.
One sec.
They said it was the wrong spot.
But he said by the end of the decade.
So 2030.
Okay, by 2030.
So he's moving up two whole years?
Really?
Let me be clear.
It's not about spending the money wisely and effectively, Carney.
It's about spending the money because you fucking promised you would.
Yep.
I say this as a half-Canadian.
Pardon the language.
This idea that they're not great neighbors.
Let's say you had a storm, a hurricane, and you and your neighbor have a fence.
And you say, hey, you know what?
I'm going to put up a fence myself.
But, you know, we can put up a better fence that will withstand the next storm if we go have these on it.
And your neighbor says, sure, absolutely.
You pay for it.
He never gives you a dime and then starts decorating it and putting holes in it and using it as an archery wall.
That's what Canada has been doing.
And you know what, Alberta?
You can be free from that baggage because it's not your fault.
But we are holding all of you accountable for this.
All of you.
Hey, if something goes down, we won't protect the rest of Canada.
But we'll protect you.
There you go.
That's the agreement at this point.
To give you an idea, the Canadian, they spend $2.1 trillion on their military.
That's 1.37% of their GDP.
They have not honored their contract.
The United States, $27 trillion, 3.5% of their GDP.
This, look, and I get it.
I get it.
This is an issue that has...
Those are GDP numbers, by the way.
Those are the GDPs, and that's the percentage they spend.
We don't spend $27 trillion, so I just wanted to make sure it came out a little weird.
What did I say?
It sounded like you were saying they spent trillions of dollars on the military.
They didn't.
27 trillion is our GDP and we spent 3.4% of that.
3.4%.
I apologize.
Yes.
3.4% of our GDP, 27 trillion.
Okay, you guys got it.
The references are available sometimes, especially when I get...
Hey, you're a little fired up.
You should be.
Yeah, but you guys have the references right there.
We honor the contract and then some to the tune of almost double.
Canada has not.
Alberta, do you want to be yoked with the country that hates you and doesn't honor their agreements?
Be the place that honors its agreements.
Be the place that benefits.
Be the place that actually becomes...
Hey, do you want your free speech?
There's one way.
Hey, do you want to have something resembling Second Amendment rights?
There's one way.
Do you want to have control of your own energy industry?
There's one way.
Do you want to stand in the face of communist tyranny that we see growing?
With the threat of China.
There is one way.
Do you want your people to benefit economically and to have a future for your children that isn't stifled socially, culturally, economically?
Across the board, there's one way.
And I guarantee you many Americans would be happy to welcome you into the fold.
You know what?
Comment below.
Americans right now, comment if you would welcome Alberta with open arms.
And Albertans, comment if it's something that you entertain.
I know some details have to be hashed out, but this is a real...
This is a real opportunity.
And I think that the United States should be looking at these opportunities as we move forward.
This idea that, okay, the lines have been drawn with countries and so they're going to stay there.
That's not what it was historically.
And usually the reason for schisms were because people didn't share the same values.
They no longer felt represented.
Guess what?
You're there, Alberta.
What are you going to do about it?
We're here to help.
And also here to debate the annexation of Canada in general is...
James Carville, expert commentator who we have here on Retainer, and our very own Nick DiPaolo.
Retainer, expert commentator who we have here on Retainer, and our very own Nick DiPaolo.
So. *clap*
Welcome to the show, Nick.
Thanks for taking the time.
Mr. Carville, welcome back.
With the Canadian election now finished, can we get your thoughts on Canada becoming the 51st state?
Which is what, of course, has been discussed, though I just...
Laid out the case as to why it might be quite a bit- Well, if we're going to make Canada the 51st state, I say replace it.
Get rid of Louisiana.
We'll take Canada.
You can have...
This is a big, big talk.
This always happened with Nick DiPaolo.
Big talk, Louisiana Bayou Boy.
This man next to me, this man next to me, he's so stupid, he's the reason they're packing peanuts.
I've got instructions on him.
You're from a state, you get three inches of rain and 45,000 black people die.
You look at a tube of toothpaste and wonder how you get it out.
Some of them were on the roof waiting for a helicopter to pull them off.
But you know what?
They didn't pull them off.
They couldn't spell help.
It said hep.
You're crossing some lines, Nick DePaulo.
The people died.
What line is that, you chemo-looking...
I will grab you by your dirty fingernails and peel you like a shrimp.
Understand what I will do to him.
Mr. Carville, you brought up shrimp like 14 times.
You've left alone.
Did somebody touch you with a lobster when you were a kid?
When the laughing stopped, everybody go home after the show.
No more two-drink minimum.
It's just you and the raising kid on whose face you think God will shine.
I want you to think about that.
Did you say glog?
God.
Oh, God.
Yeah, God's one syllable, stupid.
Good. Good.
Good. *clap* *clap*
Well, we will check back in with him because we have, coming up soon here, Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell, friend of the show, pollster, data expert extraordinaire, and you've seen some polls recently saying Donald Trump is underwater.
This is the lowest approval rating of...
Okay.
That's the appropriate response.
I'm sorry.
That's why it's funny and accurate.
Well, don't take my word for it.
We always want to show you what the left is saying.
So here is what the media is trying to sell you regarding polling and Donald Trump.
He has broken his own record for being the worst.
The American people do not like what they are seeing.
Hold on a second.
Pause.
Right now.
Pause.
Right now.
We're going to continue this.
Go to CNN.
This is what they're doing on CNN.
You are seeing it in real time.
Look.
They're just trying to talk about polls.
And, ah, here's an expert to tell you why.
It's the old Nazi propaganda, right?
Driving around.
All is lost!
Your allies have already surrendered!
You are all alone!
You have no chance!
And that's what we talk about Alberta.
Hey, the rest of Canada wants you to feel that way.
They want you to feel this way, that everyone around you has Trump remorse.
It's not true.
Let's start the montage from the top.
He has broken his own record.
For being the worst, the American people do not like what they are seeing at this point from Donald John Trump.
New polling shows that Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in modern history.
Trump was like, all I heard was approval rating and 100.
There are new poll numbers out as President Trump is nearing 100 days in office, and the show is approaching that benchmark moment with historically low approval numbers.
Underwater, sinking, plunging.
These are not the terms you want to hear if you're a politician.
Why are you wearing a drape?
President Trump is described in polling as he enters his 100th day in office.
Donald Trump is the most unpopular president since Kevin Spacey.
President Trump could be in hot water according to a batch of new polls out this weekend.
The president's 100th day mark
That's Squidward.
More than 70% of Americans say the economy today is either not so good or poor.
The other 30% are either in a coma or in his cabinet.
So, before we bring on Mr. Mitchell from Rasmussen, let me just give you kind of a recap.
What has this president done, President Trump, on the economy?
Okay, well, we know about tariffs.
You know, some would argue rebalancing trade deficits.
The left would say upending the economy because we have to say, China, China, please, please, please, can we have another?
Deregulation on energy.
We've been boosting production.
We've been lowering costs.
We want to look at major private investments into the United States.
Depending on the numbers, you use anywhere from $4 to $5.5 trillion.
There have been some major moves made.
They haven't necessarily come to fruition yet, although we have seen inflation cool quite a bit, and we have seen employment do quite well.
Egg prices are down, but the left is still using that talking point.
The big issue, immigration, which would seem...
Obviously to be reflected in the polls because the vast majority of Americans support being stricter on immigration.
And they even support, by the way, for the first time this last year, mass deportation.
So if you look at the border, migrant crossings are down 99.99%.
Wow.
99. I don't remember migrant crossings being up 99%.
99. What is this, OxiClean?
Yeah.
Deportations have been 100,000 so far.
Two judges have been arrested for aiding and abetting illegals, including some illegal immigrants who, by the way, have assaulted, beaten, in some cases killed people.
So a significant portion of these people deported are violent criminals or certainly felons in addition to being here illegally.
As far as national security, which a lot of people don't talk about, you know, going after the Houthi, putting some pressure on Iran.
Increased pressure, you know, in Asia and the whole Pacific region with Hegseth prioritizing that over never-ending money to Ukraine, ousting China from the Panama Canal.
There's a 75-day extension on TikTok, so we don't necessarily know what's going to happen with that.
And culture, too.
This is one that's pretty important.
Again, these are the 80-20 issues, which is why I'm surprised at these polls.
And by that, I mean they're lying.
Reference is available.
Link in the description.
Gender.
We're not going to allow biological males to compete with biological females anymore because they put on a muumuu.
Getting rid of DEI, right?
Colleges getting their federal funding cut if they decide to continue with DEI.
Making English the official language in the United States.
You say racist, I say it's an official language in India!
Bringing back statues, flags, Columbus Day, and even, you know, in a twist, turn of events, bringing back the original Four Loko.
Four Loko!
He got the blood from the drink.
You usually do get bloody after that.
It's extreme.
How do you add all of that up and get the worst approval rating in history?
And by the way, we're going to bring them on, but if you are not yet someone who has downloaded the Rumble app, that's the best way to stay in touch.
Download the Rumble app.
Follow this channel right there.
You will be notified when we are live and only when we are live.
Screw the algorithms on other big tech.
Rumble is living it.
And this next man, who's an expert, I just pretend to be one here in polling, and I make the references available so you can become an expert.
But this guy actually, like, this is what he lives, eats, breathes, and he's one of the best.
It's time to bring on from Rasmussen Reports, Mark Mitchell.
For those who want to follow him, it's HonestPolsterOnX.
He's the head pollster for Rasmussen Reports.
And, oh, he's also on Rumble Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern.
Mr. Mitchell, how are you, sir?
I'm doing great, man.
When there's an information op on, I'm at my best.
I'm on the front lines of the information war right now.
Yeah, well, you know what?
And what you do here, you really are a specialist.
So in these cases, you're incredibly valuable because you and I both know that, and I don't believe there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
Statistics obviously matter.
Data matters.
But you certainly can manipulate it, especially if the sampling of the polls out there are not robust.
So please grace us with your speciality.
Is this true?
Is Donald Trump at the lowest approval rating of any modern president?
Like, maybe, but probably not.
And my numbers, no.
That's the problem with statistics, is there's noise, too.
And you have this whole information gatekeeping layer that will cherry-pick numbers to get whatever they want.
And they also have many, many ways to lie.
I did a whole hour-and-a-half video on all the ways a scummy pollster could lie to you.
I will say that Donald Trump's approval rating is not high.
But I think that has more to do with the fact that we're probably on the cusp of the Civil War and a lot less to do.
This is just not the George W. Bush America where 80% have a high approval rating of the president.
We're just never going to see that again.
So Trump came in.
In the mid-50s, which was pretty good, that's a honeymoon, and now he's back under water four points.
He's at 47% today.
I think he's going to drift around 49%, 50%, and that's where you'd expect in a really highly divisive country, but it's not this sudden thing.
What they're trying to do is convince you that all of a sudden he poked the economic bear, and now he's plunging and circling the toilet train, and that's just not the case.
If you strip out the first six months of Obama...
In 2009, Donald Trump pretty much polls in our numbers exactly like Obama.
And that's what you'd expect.
He came in, won a majority.
He's in the office.
Now, the big discrepancy is how much ubiquitously positive media coverage Obama got and how ubiquitously horrible the coverage of Trump has been.
But the standout in our numbers is Biden.
And he just sucks compared to both of them.
He's about four or five points worse.
And nobody was talking about approval under Biden.
Right.
Well, that's what I was going to ask.
This doesn't exist in a vacuum.
So Barack Obama, people say, well, why would you take it the first six months?
Let's be honest, because it was first black president.
People are like, all right, we'll give him a shot.
Then we said socialist.
And they said, you mean Edward?
We're like, no.
Well, they thought he was going to heal the economy with a magic wand, too.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And he ran right away to racial division.
With Biden, this doesn't exist in a vacuum.
So you are saying definitively that Biden's approval rating, they were worse than Donald Trump.
Oh, 100%.
We poll...
Presidential approval every day for the last 20 years.
We're the only person that still does it daily.
And so we have an uninterrupted stream of data.
We don't change the methodology.
President gets swapped out.
We keep pulling the same question.
And it just hasn't, I mean, it hasn't, you know, seen the same.
Dump that everybody shows in Donald Trump.
You look at real clear politics and Donald Trump has about a four or five point sandbag compared to our numbers.
And yeah, Biden spent most of his presidency between 40 and about 44 percent.
He left office at 42, 43 percent.
Trump's at 47 right now.
I think he's going to be back up to 50. So it's just completely different.
And of course, like you said, the positive coverage of Biden was.
Pretty much ubiquitous as opposed to the negative coverage of Donald Trump.
I'm kind of amazed that any Republican ever wins.
Basically, if the media were balanced, a Democrat would never win ever.
That's what I've learned in these last election cycles, not to mention the actual interference that we've seen.
Let me ask you this, because this is an audience question, actually.
This comes from Baby Eating Biden.
And I think we've talked about this.
That's their screen name.
Sorry.
No, I didn't write it.
It's like it was Bited Eating Baby.
Yeah, exactly.
It took it a little too literally.
Like, oh, I just want to bite its toes.
Like, I really want to bite its toes.
I want to cook it up.
Fry it.
Smell it.
So how does your sampling differ from other pollsters?
Because like you said, you've been doing it longer.
You've been significantly more accurate in recent election cycles.
What's different?
Actually, a lot less than the other people.
That's one of the problems with polling is the data is just getting worse and worse.
People aren't picking up the phones.
There aren't as many landlines.
And so everybody's been piling into these panels like Ipsos or YouGov, and they suck.
They're run by leftist corporations and community managers with pronouns in their bios.
They only have 50,000 or 60,000 people.
And what they generally do is create an image of America that they want to see.
And it doesn't actually represent America.
If you look at the ABC, Washington Post, Ipsos poll, the one that had that headline, worst polling in 100 years or whatever, they had Trump underwater six points on the issue of immigration.
That's just crazy world.
So those people aren't America.
Half of our polling is still random landline robodial polling.
There's a lot of old people in America and a lot of old people voters.
So we still get a lot of them.
And then we are very careful about getting what we think is high-quality online panel data.
So that's people that are paid money to take polling.
We reach hundreds of thousands of those people.
And so we've changed less than most.
And so I think that's one of the reasons we're still good.
They're getting a whole bunch of non-political normies, people from Nigeria with VPNs, and we're still getting a lot of real Americans, and that's why I think our numbers are better.
Can I ask you, is that by design, do you think, or is that just laziness?
Usually things progress as far as any industry becoming better, more efficient, you fine-tune.
How are they getting worse?
Laziness or design to try and use bias as a political cudgel?
Well, I mean, there are good pollsters.
There are good pollsters that suck, honest pollsters that suck.
There are dishonest pollsters.
There are pollsters who are honest, but their boss is dishonest.
There are pollsters that are honest, and the media reports on them in a very dishonest way.
And so it's a complete mess.
But here's how you know that there's something nefarious going on.
When was, in my opinion, the peak response bias, the peak amount of lefties that were super mad right now, was about three weeks ago when the market started to take a hit, right?
But what you see now is that the polling's bad.
And it happened over the weekend.
All of a sudden, everybody just dropped a ton of bad polling.
And it's all the corporate ones.
It's all people tied to big corporations.
CNN, Fox News, ABC Washington Post, ABC's Disney-owned.
Like, it's just, you know, the Murdochs are in there.
And those are the ones, and they all did it in one day.
And a lot of these people haven't even been polling over the last couple of months and weeks.
They said, you know what?
I'm just going to save up this little turd for Trump's 100 days.
And they dropped it right into the Sunday news cycle.
And then what you also see is if you look at the Google search trend or organic search volume for the word Trump approval, he's been on the political stage for like 10 years now.
Well, guess what?
April of 2025 is going to be the second highest month of search traffic.
For the term, Trump approval.
And why is that?
Well, it's because Axios is giving people push notifications on their phone.
They're hearing it on the radio.
They're hearing it everywhere.
And they're like, let me check on that.
It doesn't seem right.
He's not doing that bad.
Our right direction polling is setting records.
We just had 13 consecutive weeks of 42% or higher.
Our previous record was seven weeks.
That was also under Trump.
And so, ultimately, what I'll say is, like, Trump approval doesn't even matter.
People think the country's headed in the right direction.
Except for, like, you know, the 12% of Americans who have a stock portfolio.
But, like, screw you guys.
By the way, even in some of those polls, when we dug a little deeper, they still trust Republicans by a seven-point spread over Democrats.
So, again, this doesn't exist in a vacuum.
It just says that people, what I saw, again, as a layman, is...
All time low as far as trust in institutions and even lower for Democrats.
Is that fair?
Trump is actually kind of like well viewed positively in many measures.
His approval index, which is like strong approve minus strong disapprove.
So that's you take all the lovers and subtract the haters.
His numbers are routinely higher than Obama's were throughout both his terms.
And then also, if you look at just the percentage of the eligible voting population that Trump got to turn out for his second time, well, you know.
His second win, we'll just say, right?
Way higher than the first time.
He only got 28% of the electorate in Term 1. He got 32% this time, which was higher than Obama 2, higher than JFK, higher than Reagan 1, higher than Bush 1 and 2, higher than both Clinton terms.
He convinced.
A lot of Americans to vote for him.
Like, more than pretty much everybody except, like, Reagan 2, FDR number 3, Obama 1, but not Obama 2, right?
Because of that whole six-month period, right?
Where we were hugging out all of our racial animosity.
Yeah.
Until it came roaring back with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
You know, let me ask you this.
Do you guys have a pretty firm grasp on what's happening with Generation Z?
Because that is an anomaly where they're more conservative than any generation at that point in their life.
And it seems like a lot of pollsters out there are scrambling, going, this happened really fast.
Yes, it is.
I'm watching it very closely.
The numbers are kind of all over.
I will say that young men are more conservative than the young women.
But in general, the 18 to 39-year-old age bracket in our polling consistently has now been the most Trump-approving.
The most country is on the right direction.
I'll say it was bigger in February and March.
We actually had a 60% Trump approving among 18 to 39-year-olds.
And I think they were over 50% right direction at one point.
So that's just astounding.
So it's completely flipped where 10 years ago you'd say, oh, the boomers, they're the conservative ones, they're all watching Fox News.
And maybe the Fox News ones died out.
I don't know.
And all were left is with the MSNBC boomers.
But they don't like Trump.
They're the ones that are the most left right now.
And I guess it's because maybe they're invested in the system.
They don't really understand the extent to which Trump is trying to undermine the neo-global economic order.
But the 18 to 39, we had 59% of them thinking that Donald Trump's second term was going to bring in a new golden age.
And these were people back in November.
They were going in Trump's direction, but they still didn't go for Trump in our polling.
They were still harassed by a few points.
And now all of a sudden, 59% of them are like, oh, golden age.
Now, it's abating a little bit, but they're still the most conservative ones.
And I think it's because they want this chaos.
They rate Doge very highly.
A lot of stuff was being uncovered.
They can't form families and buy houses, and I think they're probably trying to look for a boogeyman.
And it's like, well, it's the federal government.
It's the United States federal oligarchy.
And I feel like that has kind of taken a backburner now.
You know what I mean?
We're talking more about, I mean, the tariffs are sucking up a lot of oxygen.
Right.
But it feels like Elon's been backburnered.
It feels like maybe the goalposts have been shifted a little bit.
And I'm here for what we were seeing in January and February.
I like the idea of shuttering these offices.
Pulling the string on where all these dollars go to all the different offshore bank accounts.
But who knows?
Maybe we'll get more of that.
Yeah, and just to be clear, when you talk about in the November election, if you do split up Generation Z between men and women, the young men did go for Trump, I believe, like an actual net positive.
And overall, as a demo, it ended up being a couple points for Harris.
But that's because the young female vote counterbalanced the male more significantly.
Do I have that right?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, and that's another thing, too.
Like, there is a big gender divide where young people are not getting married.
Men are checking out of the dating pool because feminism, their view, has ruined dating prospects.
And then, I mean, you know, young feminists are the only group who can create a social movement around banning catcalling and then bitch about the fact that no men are hitting on them anymore.
So I think young men are like, ah, well, we stopped catcalling and we don't care.
You want dudes in your sports?
You do your thing.
There's a lot going on, and it's really hard to slice up the demos into usable signals.
And without doing massive, massive mega polls, right?
So what might be going on in the cultural zeitgeist is happening among 18 to 25-year-old men, but we're polling 18 to 39-year-old men and women, and those people have parents mixed in, so there's a lot going on.
In our polling, the 29 to 39 age group is really the most conservative, and it's because they're trying to – although the 18 to 29-year-olds are still way more conservative than they've ever been.
These are people that went for, like, Hillary Clinton, 40 or 50 points.
So it's just a complete, complete – But then there's other things, too.
In our polling, the women were about 20 points less conservative than the men, but when we added in pet ownership, and the real crazy ones are the single women cat owners, and they went...
Kamala Harris and our polling by almost 40 points.
So there's funny little signals in there.
That's not funny.
That's entirely expected.
Let's be honest.
Yeah, well, I know, but we proved it, right?
Yeah, I know.
It's not just a trope.
Yeah, I know, and I can think of fewer people who add net value to the United States fabric who add less than 40-year-old single cat ladies who bitch about men.
But I do want to continue this on Rumble Premium.
It is Mr. Mitchell with Rasmussen Reports.
I want to make sure I get your Twitter right.
It's honest.
