BJ, Erica, and Owen dissect Canadian political failures, including a failed Arctic drill and alleged police crackdowns in Montreal under Premier Legault, while critiquing Bill C-9 as a symptom-treatment for foreign money laundering. They analyze the "Honk for Freedom" movement's viral tactics against the CBC and warn that global adversaries use identity politics to divide societies, specifically targeting the US with Islamist agendas rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood. Ultimately, the hosts argue Canada foreshadows American decline, urging voters to ignore distractions and support Republicans to preserve freedom before a perfect storm of intolerance destroys the nation.

I feel like today is a special day, March 25th, 2026.
Is it someone's birthday?
Oh, by the way, our own magician, Magi, had his birthday last night.
Happy birthday, magician.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, everybody who has a birthday today.
Yeah.
Oh, and today, yeah.
We probably have several.
Do we have a stock market update?
We're just letting everybody filter in, you guys.
BJ is here with us.
Market's looking good today, I think.
Oh, good, good, or bad?
Last I checked, anyway.
It was up.
Okay, good.
How about Bitcoin since I'm in a crypto studio right now, by the way?
Follow Protocol Pulse online.
Bitcoin's up too.
It's at 71,600 71,000.
I don't know what that means.
I'm not a Bitcoin girl.
Who are we following, BJ?
They're not capitulating.
We're holding strong.
Yeah, so that voice in the background, that is Paul.
I'm in Naples, Florida.
I'm at the airport in a studio that belongs to Protocol Pulse.
Okay.
And big fans and supporters and friends of mine and big supporters of freedom.
Scott Adams Meteor Talk00:04:34
They are also, we're massive fans of Scott Adams.
So I thought it would be totally appropriate to, while I had the chance while I'm in Naples, to do the show here.
Bring some people together.
We're happy you did.
We're happy you did.
All right.
I think that gave us enough time and we need to do something first or we can't do anything else.
All right.
Let's do it.
Hey, everybody.
Come on in here.
Stream on in here for your morning streaming and your morning simultaneous hip, which is coming up.
As soon as we get enough of you in here who are thirsty and ready for a bit of simultaneity, and I think we're there.
All right.
You know what you need to play along.
Doesn't take much.
All you need is a cup of mug or a glass, a tank or chaliserstein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I'm partial to coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
The simultaneous sip.
go oh my gosh I love it.
Well, welcome, everybody.
My name is Erica, and you are at the Scott Adams School.
We have to get rid of the screenshot.
Oh, sorry.
I was so intrigued with that.
You guys, welcome to the Scott Adams School.
My name is Erica.
I always want to remind that if you're looking for Scott Adams content, you can find a million of his YouTube videos on YouTube.
Also, his micro lessons, his waves, his amazing, like when he would just draw cartoons with us and pre-shows and post-shows.
There's so much more content on Scott's subscriber channel on locals, and that's scottadams.locals.com.
And we really hope that you'll come over there, that you'll subscribe.
That's where his famous beloveds reside.
And we're doing some interviews and like chats over there, also exclusively for subscribers.
And we have one tomorrow night.
We're going to have Jimmy from Scott Adams Meetups there.
So anyone that's been to a meetup, we want you to come and tell us about your experience, okay?
So let's kick off the day with BJ.
And I want to actually start with Marcella.
And BJ, just to come to you later, I want to make sure that we pick up where we left off, which was with our friends from Canada.
They have specific Canadian questions.
So you guys get ready to ask those when we get to the Canadian news.
So Marcella, start us off.
So meteors made another appearance on Monday.
As you know, last week, I think that there was a huge meteor that hit Ohio that was seen in 10 states.
Then after that, there were so many other meteor sightings in Texas and California.
And then on Monday, this was confirmed by NASA.
There was a huge meteor that hit across Ohio all the way to, it was, it could be seen all the way to Michigan in other states.
You know, this is the concept of we're paying attention to the story.
So maybe that's why we're seeing it more in the news.
It might not be more meteors than there are, but it was interesting to me that it happened again.
So you never know.
The one in Ohio, they asked if we felt it here on the Jersey shore and people south of us in New Jersey felt it.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know one of them hit somebody's house.
Oh.
No way.
Yeah.
I mean, the person wasn't hurt, fortunately, but were they fortunately?
Yeah, I think I don't know.
I don't know if they were home or not, but I know it went into their house.
And I'm sure it caused a lot of damage.
I think there was some speculation that they could sell the meteor to pay for the repairs.
Really?
That's interesting.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, apparently, meteors are valuable if there's anything left of them.
And most of them probably burn up in the atmosphere.
But if it hits, then there's probably something left.
And it's usually a pretty rare thing.
Spending Time With Friends00:07:03
So people like to collect them, I guess.
All right.
Interesting.
I didn't know that.
Are there other interesting news?
Well, I mean, I wanted to start off very happily, but there was a poll that was about no time with friends.
And I'm wondering if the chat can tell me about what percentage of people don't spend any time with friends during the week.
It may not be what Scott thought.
So it's a Gallup poll that they're basing it on the isolation of different age groups where people don't have friends anymore.
They're online, but when they did this Gallup poll, they asked what when they talk about friends, they talk about you actually physically seeing them.
And then let me see if 85% 25%.
No, it's less than 25%.
Believe it or not.
So no time with friends, which is good.
Only 16% of Americans spend no time with friends.
The rest of them do.
And 11 hours weekly, on average, you spend with friends from the age of 18 to 34.
11 hours is pretty good.
Well, 18 to 34, what happens when you're older?
Eight hours.
Eight to six.
Are we with friends right now?
No.
The system guardian in person content in person.
Yeah.
So we don't count.
Call a friend, you guys.
11 hours in person with a friend sounds like a lot to me, but I'm just weird.
But that's 18 to 34.
I was with my friends constantly.
Well, you go to the university, you go to high school, you're with them, you know.
I was thinking going to the club.
Most of that time I was working.
And I would just say like I was working most of the time.
Like with friends.
You were working with friends.
Yeah.
Well, that is kind of how it worked out is that because you're there so much and you know, you're with these people, it's they become your friends.
And I'm sure that's true in most like demanding professions that are, you know, much more than 40 hours a week because it's like your, all your time is there.
So you kind of socialize as a natural result of that.
And, but I didn't have a lot of time to just go out socializing.
I mean, I dated my wife and, you know, maybe that counts before I got married as a friend, but and after.
But, you know, I don't, I'm pretty sure the survey doesn't count time with your spouse.
But yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I, it would seem like a lot to me because like 11 hours a week, that's like, you know, if you go out on the weekend, that might be what, three, four, five hours maybe, but you'd have to probably have a few during the week visits as well, I would think, to get to 11.
BJ suggestion.
Yeah, I think this is something Scott talked about, but this is kind of well known that men and women form relationships differently.
And I think how men and women would respond to that question might be very different.
I think this harkens back to what Scott said, all data is fake, because if you don't know the presuppositions, you don't know how they ask the questions.
You can't really make heads or tails of the data.
And I think in my case, you know, most of my friends I have regular communication with in a week, those are people either I'm working with, I'm doing things with, we have projects with, like, you know, back when I used to be on the motorcycle all the time, you know, we'd be hanging out, but we'd be out riding and doing stuff on, oh, I gotta, I gotta do an oil change on my bike or whatever.
So it's kind of, we see tasks as our bonding component, whereas women, I think it's more about the relationship structure.
So I don't know.
I think I do agree that we do spend a lot more time than we realize together.
I don't buy into that we completely we have decide to ostracize ourselves.
I just think the nature of our relationships are a little bit more complex than are we are we friends going for coffee or not.
I think there's more to that.
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think even just gathering, like, you know, going for an oil change, taking a ride on the bike.
I mean, we have motorcycles.
Oh, we don't use them anymore.
Too crowded now.
But yeah, it was like, hey, let's like, let's take a ride.
And like a, you know, a couple of guys would come over.
They'd go take a ride and, you know, you stop and hit 7-Eleven and get a cup of coffee and talk in the parking lot.
And like, but that is maybe more how guys commune or maybe they go play pool or, or they're just, yeah, like working on an engine.
I'm just thinking about what goes on in my life.
But I think, you know, I feel like the younger people today, even when they're together, they're just on their phones.
So I hate that.
I want everybody to like get your dopamine hit from actually talking to your friends and like entertaining each other and make your friends interested in something.
I don't know.
I say try to try to get your dopamine hits in person with real life people and hone in some life skills like that.
But I don't know.
It's great to do when you can.
And I'd, you know, I probably would have loved to have more time with friends at that age of 18 to 34.
But, you know, I just look at my life.
I mean, obviously, when I was 18, I was still in high school.
And yeah, I spent lots of time with my friends pretty much every day.
After school, if you didn't have homework or whatever, you'd be going out with your friends.
And there was a lot of that.
But then, you know, college, you're all kind of in the same place.
So that makes it really easy.
You're almost constantly with friends.
at least your roommates, but everybody that's around you, it's really easy.
But then when you get into the workforce, it just totally changes.
And at least in my case, and probably many people's cases, your college friends are all over the country.
You know, you can't see them every day.
They're not in the same city as you.
And so how do you make friends?
And that I think is different for men and women, but probably also just for adults versus younger people because there's no natural way like there is in school to be like, oh, let's, let's go out.
Let's have some fun type of thing.
And, you know, in my case, like I said, we would have like happy hours after work on Fridays and things like that.
But that was always kind of artificial to me.
And it seemed more natural to just make friends with people that you were just on projects with or constantly spending lots of time with.
And it would usually basically be blended into work.
And then when I did get married, you know, that was who I wanted to spend time with was my wife.
And when I had kids, then of course that adds another layer to it where you're just trying to spend as much time as you can with your kids.
Canadian Freedoms Debate00:15:41
And I pretty quickly came to the conclusion.
It's like, I don't have time for friends anymore.
Like that's, you know, I've got too much going on with my family.
So whenever I'm not working, I'm trying to spend time with my kids.
Yeah, I know.
Parents have a lot on their plate.
Crank one.
You know what?
Here's a little fun fact.
I actually have a motorcycle license.
Yes, I do.
Very impressive.
I have a white helmet with two pink racing stripes.
I don't own a motorcycle personally.
I have, it's kind of like a Vespa.
It's called an Aprilia.
It's Italian, also has a little white trunk on it.
It's so cute.
But I'm going to sell it because it's not the same.
It's too crowded now.
Like everybody's on their phone.
Like we weren't dealing with all this before.
It's just dangerous now.
Erica, I love you, but we can't describe motorcycles as cute.
Mine was not cute.
Well, we also have a hog and like a chopper and we have a fat boy.
So if that helps, that kind of balances it out.
So mine is cute.
I know if you're curious, because I always get asked all the time by motorcycle people.
My last bike I sold a few years ago was a Honda RC51.
And few people know what that is, but it's basically a Honda Ducati V-twin thousand CC, stupid fast, very dangerous bike.
And boy, do I miss it?
Oh, it's so fun.
It is so fun.
We have a lot of gas is so expensive.
Thinking about getting a golf cart.
Your bike is your friend.
Yes.
All right.
Owen, take us in another direction now.
Well, we've got a Canada story about the military drill in the Arctic flopping in the extreme cold.
They had hundreds of troops that landed on an island in the high Arctic last month.
They had wind chill temperatures of minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit and it kept the locals in their Victoria Island hamlet indoors.
There were a bunch of ice crystals they called diamond dust.
And apparently it just sealed the 30-foot tall door to the airport hangar so they couldn't open the hangar door.
Oh, no.
So they pretty much couldn't do the drill and it just all flopped.
They couldn't really make anything happen.
So yay, Canada military.
Owen's not going to be the Minister of Tourism for Canada.
Or the recruiter for the military.
I will say I did enjoy my time in Canada.
I've been there only as a tourist, but actually I did work for a client there for a little while too.
That was fun too.
That one was, I don't remember.
Probably in the direction of Toronto.
Actually, I think it was in Montreal.
It had such an impact on you.
You can't remember what city.
No, I can't see Quebec.
It was in Quebec because they were speaking Quebecois.
And that was the only time I was in that region.
Well, I mean, I know who the client was.
I just wasn't trying to get into detail.
But cool.
The client talks.
I went skiing out in more of the West region.
That was a lot of fun.
I've been to Toronto.
That was a lot of fun.
So it's a good place to visit.
I just don't think I'd want to live there.
It's not the same place anymore, man.
It's a little bit more like, I don't know, Afghanistan, but whatever.
We'll talk.
Should we do that?
Canadian stand?
Let's actually just talk about it.
Like here, we're talking about Canada now.
I just said that so weird.
Canada.
Anyway.
So is Montreal Galaxy here?
And there's a, oh, here she is.
So I want to know.
I feel like last time we left off BJ, they were saying, you know, what do you think?
What's happening with, I don't know, Canadian ease.
Okay.
So that the Canadian police are going door to door, I guess, about people, what they're putting on social media.
Is that what it was in Montreal?
What's going on there?
Like a whole, you know, crackdown?
I don't know.
I did see that.
I did see the video that was in, I think it was in Quebec, which was the most authoritarian region on the entire planet during COVID.
And that was under Legault, who's supposed to be a conservative.
This is why I don't do the, you know, conservatives good, liberals, bad thing, because they were both bad during COVID.
From my perspective, it's a little different because I have family and friends in policing who are on our side.
Like most cops are just, this is all crazy nonsense, right?
Sometimes in policing, you have, as my brother calls them, the kiss asses or the traffic nerds, and they're just trying to climb the ladder.
So they'll be political lackeys and they'll do stuff like that just because they think it's going to earn them a promotion.
And by the way, that's who gets promoted.
But most cops, from what I know, just are on our side of this issue and are not there to police people's Twitter feeds or Facebook posts.
So I think there's more to it.
I saw the video.
My guess is if it is real, which it looks like it's real, that you're dealing with new recruits that are just trying to climb the ladder and they probably don't really care themselves.
They just want to get a pat on the back when they go back to the to meet with their own.
So Montreal Galaxy is saying LeGaul is not a conservative and that this was in Toronto?
Well, was he conservative?
Was he?
He's not the conservative party, but he was, he branded himself as more on the conservative side of things.
If it was in Toronto, I'm saying it like an American because I'm in the States.
If it's in Toronto, then yeah, there are some issues in the Toronto Police Service with political entryism from foreign actors, shall we say, and within their communications department.
And that cancer is spreading.
That's why I talk about this stuff all the time because it's been going on for many years.
But beyond the video, I don't know anything beyond it.
So that's why I don't want to, I don't think we should jump to making conclusions about kind of the motives and what's going on behind the scenes.
But yes, this is the phenomenon of the politicization of police force, of policing.
For example, one quick example, you know, there's a particular member of parliament.
I can say this now because my brother is now retired for a little while.
One of the members of parliament who has ties to certain terrorist organizations.
Because that's a thing in Canada.
We have members of parliament who are linked to those organizations.
Would regularly call the local police, like through the superintendent or directly and ask that somebody be arrested because they said something that's, I don't know, is llamophobic or something like that.
And often the senior officer on duty was my brother.
And he'd be like, yeah, yeah, that's what we're not here for.
Goodbye.
And hang up the phone.
But what's happening within policing through the politicization of policing, those sorts of people are now retiring.
They're getting out.
They're saying, I've had enough of this.
I can retire early.
I'm finished.
And now they're bringing in diversity hires to replace the police force and so much that one particular police force knew this was happening with DEI.
So they had a mad rush to hire as to overstaff and hire as many new recruits as possible before the DEI quotas were put into place.
And they wouldn't have to, they're trying to push back the DEI requirements for hiring for 25 to 30 years.
But a lot of police forces didn't do that.
So it's really complex what's going on.
Montreal, I wish I could drop the link in here for you.
If you would say you would come on, you could even ask your questions because I don't know.
I don't know what C8, C9, and C22 are.
Do you?
Yeah, that come what they've taken.
Remember Scott?
He did me the favor where he highlighted Bill C63, which was the pre-crime thought crime bill that if you may, if you, if somebody perceives that you might say something that could be offensive and hurtful in the future, you could be prosecuted and potentially imprisoned for life.
Wow.
Everybody went after Scott and Scott's like, no, no, no, no, it's not even a legalese.
It's in the bill.
You can read it right in it.
So they took that bill and they divided it into three separate bills.
And one of them is C9.
And the goal of C9 is they want to end the pro-terrorism protests in Canada, the Al-Quds Day protests, the stuff that's funded by Pakistan and Iran and Muslim Brotherhood.
That's where all this money is coming from.
But instead of our legislatures going after the money laundering mechanisms, because that would require a spine, they're once again trying to treat a symptom and they're implementing laws that could very much blow back in our faces and be used against Canadians.
I've been speaking with people who are involved in C9 and telling them, like, what are you doing?
You keep taking the bait.
Like, just go after the core of the issue.
But politicians don't want to do that.
And they don't want to do that for some reason.
That's crazy.
So now you can be put in jail for people mind reading what you might do.
Well, they softened it and they divided it up into C9.
And it's not quite, doesn't have quite the teeth, but there's two other bills that are making their way through that are around this particular issue.
Like, why do you think I want to be in the United States?
Why do you think I'm here all the time?
Yeah.
How does that work for you?
So are you going to move here?
Or are you, I mean, you were, you were really working hard in getting involved in politics in Canada.
So do you have more of like that stay and fight for your country and make change or like F it, it's so far gone?
I don't think it's so far gone that it can't be fixed.
I think the mechanism and Canadians get upset with me when I say this, but Canada does as the United States does.
The United States controls 76% of our economy.
Doesn't matter what we want, what we like.
You guys are essentially going to dictate our policy over the long term.
And that's why when is it going to be the 51st state then?
You know what's funny?
So remember last, was it last year when Trudeau did his final few months, he went to Mar-a-Lago and he had his testicles severed by Donald Trump?
That was the night that he asked Trudeau saying, what would happen if I put a 25% tariff on your country?
He said, well, that would destroy my economy.
You dumbass.
You don't tell him that.
Well, he did.
And the next day, the next night, I gave a presentation on national security threats from Canada and Latin America to an audience of which many of those people, some of them live at Mar-a-Lago.
Many of them are big donors to Trump and all that sort of stuff.
So when I was finished, firstly, they wanted to invade Canada in a couple of countries in South America, and it's already in process.
And the other thing is I have never, and this is, I love you guys, but normally with an American, and all Canadians know this, when you say the word Canada, normally your eyes just glaze over, like you just don't have the attention span and just move on.
This was the first time in my life I fielded questions for an hour about Canada.
Oh, should it become the 51st state?
Would Canadians like it?
How would it work?
Do they like us and all that sort of stuff?
And my advice to them was this.
You cannot make Canada the 51st state.
The last thing you want are Canadians in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver voting in the Electoral College.
That'll be in the country.
What you want is Canada to be a territory like Puerto Rico.
Yes.
Make it a tax haven.
We can expropriate all the natural resources of the country.
And, you know, we can have our own little elections.
But in terms of the national state, they don't have a say.
And I think that would probably be the best way to fix Canada over the long term.
I fully agree.
Oh, and I think we had talked about that, Marcella, that yes, like make it a territory.
But you know, if the Democrats come back in power, they'd be like, no, they should vote too.
And we're going to change it.
But yeah, I agree.
I'm good with the territory idea.
So I had a question regarding C9 because it's my understanding that Canada doesn't have a First Amendment right like the U.S. does, but they do have the charter, the Canadian Charter of Rights.
I know you're laughing, but is there people that are taking the C9 law to court and saying, hey, this is against the rules of my free freedom of expression?
Or are people fighting these type of laws?
So there's a couple of organizations that do this stuff, but they're mainly political money laundering operations that support the political parties and they mask as activist organizations, which is what I dealt with during the Trucker Convoy.
But in terms of just to explain how it is in Canada, no, we do not have a First Amendment.
We have what's called the Charter of Free Rights and Freedoms.
But the problem with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as we experienced during the Trucker Convoy, is in the very last moment before the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed in the early 80s, I think 82, 83, something like that, just before it was signed, somebody and nobody knows who, just magically there was a section one.
Section one was inserted in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
And that effectively says that all of the outlined rights and freedoms in this document can be negated if the government thinks there is a clear and present danger to national security, which is what they did with the trucker convoy.
And they said, oh, and COVID as well, by the way.
Yeah, you have the rights, but it's such a national security risk to Canada that we're now going to negate all those rights and freedoms.
That's why it was such a big deal recently when the Supreme Court ruled.
It was the Supreme Court.
I know first it was Mosley, and that was about the Trucker Conference.
There's been a bunch of things coming out, but basically they suggested that, no, the government did not have the right to suspend their freedoms, our freedoms during that period.
Okay, well, where's the repercussion?
Of course, being Canada, there never is.
But it could serve as a precedent for these other censorship laws that you could use that specific opinion of COVID being into, I'm imagining into any other future case, maybe.
Yeah, I guess potentially, but you got to understand it's such a small country and it is so controlled.
It's really just three big cities.
You know, there's a couple other smaller cities that have influence, but it's basically the three big leftist cities that control the country.
Political Establishment Appeal00:15:42
And then the conservative mechanism that's supposed to be the opposition is just about grift and making money and going to the United States.
This is kind of how it works.
So there's really no one there that is fighting.
And when there's people like myself and others that fight, what we have, we have the left that goes after us with lawfare.
And then we have the right that goes after us by throwing knives in our backs and trying to spread rumors about us.
You know, there's a number of us who got engaged because we cared about, you know, where the country was going.
We thought, you know, somebody needs to stand up and speak up.
And every time we do, there's another containment and capture strategy that is put into place to ensure that there's no actual opposition.
That's why both, you know, I've tried to explain this to people and they have difficulty putting it together.
That's why the people who screwed the truckers were the conservatives and the liberals.
And it is in testimony in what we had a public inquiry after of the two leaders of the Conservative Party and Justin Trudeau saying, yes, I think we need to put an end to this protest in the very early days.
Let's hop on a call.
And the reason was, and this is the context I'll give, for Justin Trudeau to get elected, they had to raise $40 million.
It's really all like it's much cheaper in Canada, smaller country.
It took them four years to raise $40 million to get Justin Trudeau elected.
We raised cumulatively $25 million in three weeks.
So we became the official opposition.
And they were worried that we were going to form a political party and put them out of a job.
So what did they do?
They both conspired together to pull the rug out from underneath us.
That's how Canada works.
It's all containment and capture.
So for those of you that don't know, can you give us some background to BJ about the honking for freedom and your involvement with that?
Because I mean, Scott loved it.
We loved it.
I mean, everybody here was like cheering you guys on.
I was just like, yes, like this is the people.
And then I'm sorry again, you guys, I'm blanking on her name, the woman they arrested that night.
Is she still in jail?
No, no, no.
She was working for the political establishment to subvert us.
And so a bunch of truckers got involved.
She's the one who called me and said, you know, we need somebody who can help who can do communications and all that sort of stuff.
And I just happen to have a truck as well.
And I said, yeah, sure, I'll get involved.
And that's how kind of we started the journey of, you know, from my perspective, was to reframe.
I have an article on my sub stack about it with Scott's book and my book.
And it's titled The Greatest Reframe in Canadian History.
That's what I tried to do, to reframe it from a protest to a celebration of freedom to make it open for everybody.
But the political establishment didn't like that.
They were trying to destroy it every day.
We could talk for hours about the techniques that they used it.
So my role in it was communications spokesperson.
So I didn't really focus on Canadian media.
I actually banned our Canadian media.
So for those who don't like the CBC and the Toronto Star and Global Mail, all the major news outlets, what I did for our press conferences is I sent an email to all of them because I have them all on a media list because I've done other political stuff before.
And I said, if you want to join our press conference, please submit an application, submit a request.
We have a small venue.
And they all responded and said, yeah, yeah, we want to come to your press conference.
And I would get on.
These are the equivalents of the New York Times, right?
And I would respond to them and say, I'm sorry, we don't recognize you as a credible news agency.
Sorry, you're not allowed to attend.
Opened it up to alternative media.
And that is why it went viral so quickly.
And we got, I was trying to go for 100 million views the first week and cumulatively.
And I think we got close to it.
And that's why it went global.
Owen, what say you?
Well, I think it was pretty successful.
I think you did a great job.
I think it's funny that, you know, maybe you should have picked up on Elon Musk's idea of using the poop emoji.
Can I tell you a funny story?
And Elon Musk is going to get so angry at this.
I was in the media room, which was my hotel room and adjacent suite.
And somebody comes in and says, we got a, this is what I'm told.
This is what I told us was verified.
Okay, fine.
I was told we got a donation for $42,069 for $2069.
And I said, no, that's funny.
Who donated it?
They said, well, it's anonymous, but the domain was, there was a domain that was put instead of a name.
And I said, what's the domain?
They said, it's lawyer.com.
And I said, did you check if the whois is activated?
They said, no, it's not.
It's public.
And I said, well, who has it?
Well, it points to Justin Trudeau's Wikipedia, and it's registered to somebody by the name of Elon Musk.
I couldn't, I was so busy with so much other stuff that I didn't get to independently verify.
But this was a member of my team that brought this to me.
So if it's a true story, and if that's what happened, I think it did.
That's amazing.
There's so many stories like that from that period.
It was nice.
So I know Pierre Polivera was on Joe Rogan recently.
He made some news with that.
Did you get a chance to watch that?
And did you have any reaction to it?
No, I didn't watch it.
I mean, I know Pierre personally.
I've met with him at when I was actively involved in the party at some of the big donors and big wigs in the party.
And if they keep on this trajectory, he's never going to get elected.
You know, during the first press conference, I was going after the previous leader because there were some very dodgy ties to some of that dirty money that I mentioned before and foreign influence.
And I was asked in the press conference, what could the conservatives do during the trucker during this period?
I said, well, first get rid of Aaron O'Toole.
Like, we're not even interested in this guy.
That was the previous leader, right?
The lefty guy.
And 48 hours later, he was gone.
And they asked me who would be the best to lead the conservative party.
And I said, well, at this time, the only person they have on their bench, as Scott would discuss it, was Pierre Polyev.
And the reason Pierre Polyev was so influential, and I'm sure there's people from the party watching this now.
So this is my advice to you.
I have a lot of friends in the party who love me and a lot who hate me.
My advice to you guys is this.
The second most, and Scott talked about this.
We learn this in hypnosis all the time.
The second most influential framing, emotional framing, is mockery and ridicule.
That is why Pierre Polyev was so effective and why I suggested he would be perfect because people are so fed up.
They want somebody who is going to echo their sentiment as they're throwing popcorn at the TV screen.
But what does the party mechanism do like many political parties?
And not in the United States.
And this is what Trump was up against, the same thing.
They take this new candidate, they put him in the corporate political party blue suit, take off his glasses, do his hair differently, and try to make him a carbon copy of Stephen Harper, the previous prime minister.
That's not what people want.
People want still the actual Pierre Polyev, who's got a little bit of edge in him.
That's why he was popular.
And they have taken all the edge out of him to try to make him safe, to appeal to liberal voters, because they've convinced themselves that Canada is a liberal country.
No, it's three liberal cities.
The rest of the country is very, very conservative.
And, you know, I have a friend of mine who was supposed to be leader of that party, was in the running.
His name is Jim Calaharios.
And he got so fed up that he started his own Ontario, you know, provincial conservative party named New Blue, just because this is how this mechanism keeps ruining candidates to try to be, as they call them, liberal light.
And then they wonder why they won't get elected.
It's frustrating.
It sounds like the Rodney versus Trump.
One tries to appeal to the masses or the alleged left and the middle of the road.
And then Trump just just himself.
And they were thinking that he couldn't win because of the fact that he was edgy when he came out in 2015.
Yeah.
And, you know, Scott mentioned this once, and we were talking right around that time about this issue, DMing back and forth.
And, you know, he tried to explain to convey to, this is what I learned when I ran for office a couple of times.
The electorate are not schizophrenic.
It's not like this, how Scott described it.
It's so accurate.
It's not like one day they're voting for Biden and the next day they're voting for Trump and the next day they're voting for Biden.
That's not the game.
The game is to convince the other side's team to stay home and for your team to come out in their GO TV strategy.
That's the game.
And but they keep trying to do this.
And I know why it's people behind the scenes, but they keep trying to do this strategy of, well, we're going to become the new liberal party because Canada is a liberal country.
And it's just like, we're a liberal democracy, but most of the country has very traditional conservative values.
But they are convincing themselves of the other, of the opposite, or it's just people from the more liberal type establishment that are trying to co-opt conservative circles because the liberal circles have gone completely off a cliff with this neoprogressivism nonsense, right?
Right.
They need a leader to excite these conservative masses to come out and vote.
I imagine, I don't know, you know, I don't know Canadian voting roles of whether everybody comes out to vote if they're not excited about a candidate.
Well, that's the other thing.
I mean, and when there's, you know, excitement in the air, the people like, you know how many offers I had as soon as the convoy was over?
Me, a lot saying you should run for leadership.
You should run for leadership.
You should.
I know the shell game is rigged.
I'm going to run because I'm not part of the establishment, because I'm not a lifetime political guy.
What's going to happen is I'm going to raise a few million dollars with donors.
I'm going to build a voter ID list of a couple of hundred thousand people who donated.
And then they're going to disqualify me in the last minute and then give it to their establishment candidate, which is what they did with Tool.
And that's, it is, it's very different in Canada.
I know Scott disliked the word oligarch, but that's kind of how Canada operates.
It's a group of maybe 20, 25 very wealthy, influential industrial families that control the entire political apparatus.
And by the way, it's not because they're evil and it's malicious.
They're scared.
They see what's going on, what you and I see, and they don't want to see the country fall apart either.
But the problem is, as Scott would talk about this with Soros, the problem is they're surrounded often by sometimes good people and sometimes some very unethical vultures that are just trying to scam as much money from as many places as possible.
And that's what really causes the chaos within the system.
BJ, what could you tell us about the Alberta separatism issue?
Well, that's already been co-opted.
This is why I tried to warn people about the trucker convoy and how the trucker convoy was co-opted.
Because if you look at the copy and the people who are elevated and promoting and speaking on behalf of the Alberta separatist movement, you'll notice it's the same people who co-opted the trucker convoy.
There's a reason for that.
And I was thinking for a while, what's going to be their strategy?
How are they going to get involved, take over this movement and screw the movement, which is I know that, and make as much money as possible in the process.
And I couldn't put my head around it.
What are they going to do?
How are they going to, because they're very, very clever.
And then finally, it hit me.
I saw it maybe six weeks ago.
There was a native chief who somehow got the mic in, I think it was in parliament, if I'm not mistaken.
One of the parliament does, maybe the provincial legislature, I'm not sure.
Was invited.
And you and I don't just get invited.
You have to have context to get invited.
So he was given the mic in parliament in some, you know, in the media room, explaining the perspective of the native Canadians, First Nations, that, okay, if you want to separate, you just, you can leave and we're going to keep it.
And I thought, huh, I remember sitting down in a hotel room with that chief during the trucker convoy and him trying to figure out how to milk us for as much of the donation money as possible.
That's how they're going to do it.
They're going to use the native population as a wedge to weaken the separatist movement to say, well, there's not really the will for it.
And that's it.
That's how it's going to go down.
And they're going to make money hand over fist doing it.
So frustrating.
Yeah.
There's really good people that want to make a difference everywhere.
And then you do realize everywhere in this world, it seems like there's just a very, very tiny few people controlling the world.
And the corruption's so deep, the money trail, the power play, everybody, it seems like everybody is coordinated on this.
You know, like our country is going to do this, your country is going to do that.
The rest of it seems like theater.
And then the good people that have great ideas, it's like you just want to give up because you're never going to break through that.
And I think that's why, you know, when Trump ran, I was talking about this last night.
I was so excited because I'm like, holy shit, this guy's got nothing to do with anything.
And he's like, I'm going to burn it all down.
I'm going to shake the box.
I'm going to drain the swamp.
I'm going to call everyone out.
And I was like, yes, yes, yes.
You know, it took like a person with that kind of chutzpah to come in and do something like that.
And I think when he got here, he was like, well, it's not as easy as it seems.
And I had no idea how bad the swamp was.
You know, so I always want to like encourage people.
I think if you start small, like more on a local level and try to break through there and make some changes, like very local to where you live and see if you can spread out from there.
Because I think it would take a Trump-like figure to break into, you know, the world stage.
But I don't feel like we should give up because it feels like we should.
Competing Foreign Interests00:03:58
For sure.
And maybe my last comments on this.
The only thing I disagree with you is that there's a small group of people that run the world.
It's in the case of Canada, it's a smaller country.
So yeah, there's 20 or 30 families that are very influential in politics, but then there's other people that are very influential in business.
And there's all sorts of competing interests.
And sometimes they're alignment, sometime they're not.
Like I was at an event recently here in Florida with some very, very wealthy people a couple of days ago, like a private meeting.
They are the money establishment, if you would call it, and they are as concerned as you and I.
And they wanted to meet with me to say, listen, how do we fix it?
Tell us what happened in Canada.
Tell us about the other things that you did.
How can we help sort of thing?
So they're just as scared as you and I.
And it's just like, you know, Scott talked about this.
Do you think Bill Gates and Elon Musk and Sam Altman are on the same page?
No, they hate each other.
Well, those are just that we see publicly.
But there's a lot of those people behind the scenes that are always, you know, at each other's throats and they're on the opposite side of issues.
So it's kind of a tug of war.
The biggest problem, and this is why I talk about, you know, the problem of Muslim Brotherhood and foreign interests and all that sort of stuff and IRGC.
The problem that we had, and CCP, by the way, the problem we have is the foreign interests that are trying to drive a wedge and get us all fighting with each other.
And that weakens us because when you don't have a society that is unified on its most basic principles, it's going to collapse.
And what is the most basic thing that you can go after, you can destroy, you can use to destroy a society?
And Scott explained this, that the two number one most persuasive frames are fear and identity.
And what's the most basic form of identity that we form for our view of the world is our sex.
Are we a boy and a girl?
And I remember doing the last thing.
I remember going on a tour, a speaking tour with somebody who I was created a podcast for that's from the military.
Fascinating guy.
I learned so much from him, how things work on the military side.
And he would often get asked saying, why are these foreign actors able to be so successful in utilizing their strategy of political entryism in Canada and the United States?
And we don't know how to fight back.
And he said, it's pretty simple.
He said, particularly with the Islamists, they are singularly focused.
They're very simple and they all have one direction because they share a philosophy and they don't even have to coordinate with each other.
They understand how they work.
Your kids can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl.
That's why they're winning.
Well, that takes you back to, oh my God, how can I blanking today?
The madness of crowds.
Who wrote that book?
Have you ever been to, who's that?
Douglas Murray.
Douglas Murray.
Thank you.
You know, he talks about that too.
The way to break down a society is, you know, gender confusion is definitely not that we're confused, but to create gender confusion.
And, you know, so some people are like, well, talk about America and how does it relate?
Well, it does because we border each other and we oddly, you know, Canada mimics a lot of what we're doing, but also Canada is also a foreshadowing of what could come here.
There is like a trickle effect.
And if you don't think that's true, you know, just hold on tight because we were taught to tolerate the intolerance.
And if you said anything about it, you like who, and who cares what name anybody calls you, you guys?
Like, call me a name.
Global Trickle Effect Warning00:09:54
Call me a Nazi.
I don't like it.
It means nothing.
I don't care.
But, you know, I am, I want a safe country and I want the borders closed.
And we're Stella is on one today.
And we're not all alike.
You know, everyone's like, oh, you know, you have to, you know, we're all the same.
No, we're not.
We're not all the same.
And we're really losing our identities and our countries.
And so you're just like making the water so murky now that countries are just blending into one blob.
And the intolerance and the hate and the violence, I'm afraid are going to take over.
And we have to just start getting real about it.
So, yes, sticks and stones, exactly.
So I just think, go ahead, BJ.
I was going to say, but I just think, you know, the way the world's going today, it's like you could say, well, I care about America and BJ cares about Canada and you care about Italy, but we're morphing into each other.
So it is, it's a, it's a global issue.
And the reason is it doesn't matter if it's Venezuela, Israel, Canada, the United States, Argentina.
And this is very important.
And this could be the unifying call for people to understand America is the target.
These are the back doors that they go through to destroy America's allies because America is the target.
And you'll see all sorts of shell games of people trying to distract from this country and another country and whatever.
The reason is you are the target.
And this is when you hear all this duganist nonsense of the multipolar world because Russia is a completely irrelevant country that's very weak.
I doubt their nukes work.
It's a gas station that's all but collapsed, but they want to make themselves into relevancy by attacking America.
And I can maybe on another episode, I can explain how that's all mapped out because I learned this from a member of parliament who is well versed in this and explains how it all works from the back end.
And we're now finally 10 years later, we're now seeing how it operates in social media.
But you are the target.
That's why I'm here.
This is why I want to protect America.
This is why America is so important to every country in the world, including Canada.
We need the American society, the American project to continue and to be successful.
And I personally, I don't think America is collapsing.
I think America is still, it's on its ascension.
This is why people are trying to attack it.
And look what Donald Trump has done.
If they secure this Monroe or the Monroe doctrine, remember, Canada is included in the Monroe doctrine, but that would make us all secure for 100 years.
I think that's the effect it'll have.
And we have to be careful too.
And Owen, I want to jump you in in a second here, but we have to be careful too, you know, so about like we're talking about fracturing and separating people.
I can tell you every single day, you guys, besides the amazing DMs I get from you guys, love them.
I'm attacked every single day on, you know, whatever happened on the show.
Like you should say this and you shouldn't like that.
And everybody attacking me, it's like they're telling me I'm doing the opposite thing of each other.
And I'm like, how can these both be true?
They can't be.
But what I'm going to tell you is our elections do matter.
And whether you're mad at Trump for this or you think Israel's doing that or whatever it is, at the end of the day, you have to vote in the Republicans.
Okay.
You have to, because it's so much bigger than the nuance of the arguments.
And, you know, yeah, I, I, um, I like a lot of different controversial figures.
I have many different opinions.
But if I have to go vote today, you better believe I'm voting for every Republican on the ballot.
And people are getting distracted.
There was a House special race in Florida just recently and a Democrat won and it was the place where Mar-a-Lago is.
And it was like a huge plus Trump district.
And now there's a Democrat in the House for that district.
And I can't imagine that would have taken place if people weren't distracted.
It's a little bit like the game you talked about, BJ, where if you can get the other side to stay home just by giving them other stuff to worry about or don't even let them know that the election's happening, then you can go out and make a difference.
But you got to pay attention.
You got to know when these things are happening.
You got to exercise your right to vote.
You got to get to the polls and make sure things go the way you want them to.
Even if you have to hold your nose, even if you're like, well, I don't like that issue.
I mean, listen, if you're in a relationship with someone and they, you know, suddenly you don't like the way they're chewing their food or like now they're snoring, let's say, you don't end the relationship.
You're like, oh, all right.
Like, I love all of this.
That thing's annoying, but like, okay, we're not getting divorced over that.
So, you know, hold your nose if you have to.
Just remember you're purposely being distracted.
People are trying to divide us because I promise you it's true what BJ said.
America is the target.
I mean, ISIS said our goal is to hang our flag at the White House and on the Capitol.
And they all have the same goal.
So, you know, if everyone's going to, now if anyone's going to, you know, write to me and be like, not all Muslims are bad.
I never said that.
Okay.
I never said that.
But I'm going to tell you that Islam is coming for America.
We are the, if they conquer America, the game's over.
So that's like not to scare you.
And you guys know what a worry word I am, but it's, we're being surrounded in all these different countries and everything is so it comes here and you're overwhelmed.
So, you know, it's so, so next time you see yourself getting distracted or you're flipping out about Massey or you're flipping out about Trump or you're flipping out about Netanyahu, F it.
It, it just at the end of the day, like you could be mad about it now, but you're, you've got to go vote for the Republicans.
Okay.
Whether you love them or not, it is the only chance we have.
And just a little asterisk there, Erica and Erica, and then I want to hear from Marcel's pretty voice.
There was the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial, and there was documentation found from the early 90s that the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the umbrella that operates in almost any country, in every country in the world, their policy document is about how they will destroy America from the inside, utilizing exactly the tactics that we're seeing right now.
And this is why, you know, Marcel, we discussed this previously.
It's important to divide, to show the division between Muslims who just want to be left alone and the Islamist cause, which comes from the Muslim Brotherhood, which started in the 20s.
That's what we're up against.
That's who we have to go after.
So what I was going to bring up, BJ and everybody else, is I have, I was thinking of different theories about one of the main dangers of Islamist and extremists is that they are,
at least in England and in Canada, I don't know for sure in America, is that they are adding America, they're adding British people, Canadian people that are not naturally from Arab countries or from, you know, naturally Islam from Islam or Muslim, and they're converting.
There's a huge conversion process.
But my thoughts are that this is, and this goes back to like who's controlling everything, because it seems like it's creating a left, very leftist, very extreme left, where you have children being able to change genders.
You have all these very ideas that are extreme and then very anti-male and so on and so forth.
So the conversion rate into Islam is worrisome.
And I think the majority of people that are asked or men that convert to Islam are because they find brotherhood in Islam.
They also find wives that come from other countries.
They also find, you know, respect as males to be able to deal with their daily lives.
So I was wondering if you can comment on that.
Like, is that part of the entire scheme?
It seems like it's the perfect storm.
Do you have one minute to do it?
Yeah, it's the demoralization on one side and then it's empowerment on the other.
And when I went back to school for mechanical engineering, I was surrounded by all these kids from Pakistan.
It was crazy.
They were all jihad.
And they were told me how amazing it is to go back to Lahore because the women are your slaves and you can do whatever they want.
And these were just kids that were 20 years old and had no success with women.
But they've bought into the idea that if they join this extremism sort of sect, then finally they're not going to be alone.
I think that's where it is at the core issue on an emotional level.
Wow.
All right, you guys, that's intense, right?
Closing Honor And Bye00:02:14
But it's an important conversation to have.
And we'll have to keep going, BJ.
You know, I'm going to text you right after this and be like, okay, next week, what day can you come on?
We love you.
It's such an honor for those of us who miss Scott and got so much from him.
All of us who join, it's such an honor to be able to try to help and contribute, whether we're right or wrong, but just to be a part of what you guys are building.
So thanks.
That's our pleasure.
Owen and Marcella, I love you guys.
And everybody that tuned in today, same, same.
Sometimes, you know, sometimes we, you know, feel more passionate about things, but just know, like there are opinions.
You can do what you want.
Don't come for me.
All right.
I just just here, give him my two cents.
But you guys, listen, let's do a closing sip to Scott.
Oh, and tomorrow we have joining us again is Steve Cortez.
So that'll, that'll probably be, actually, I have to firm up with him what we're going to discuss, but it's always interesting with him.
He's a great, a great guest.
You guys, let's go be useful and let's put America first and put freedom first, no matter what country you're listening from.
And just remember there is a greater good.
And we have to stop and think about how do we get there and take our ego out of it and think past the sale.
Like think 10 years from now, what our lives could look like if we don't, for some of us, hold our nose and vote for freedom.
Okay.
I know.
I know it's complicated.
I know.
All right.
I love you guys.
We'll see you tomorrow.
And a closing sip to Scott.
Say your goodbyes.
Happy eye doc.
And let's go be useful today.
I'm sure going to try to Scott.
And Duncan donuts can endorse this podcast anytime they want, right?
