	Behold, your new Prime Minister, Canada.
	His suit is slim-fitting, his tie dark.
	Attire that is more fitting for a funeral.
	And in some ways, this meeting with Donald Trump was something of a funeral for the Canadian public.
	For they have now been made aware of the fact that they have been hoodwinked.
	Mark, would you like to say a few words?
	Thank you, Mr. President.
	I'm on the edge of my seat, actually.
	But thank you for your hospitality.
	And above all, for your leadership.
	You're a transformational president, the focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker, securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids, and securing the world.
	And I've been elected with my colleagues here, with the help of my colleagues here, I'm going to spread the credit, to transform Canada.
	with a similar focus on the economy, securing our borders, again on fentanyl.
	Much greater focus on defense and security, securing the Arctic and developing the Great.
	And the history of Canada and the U.S. is we're stronger when we work together, and there's many opportunities to work together.
	And I look forward to addressing some of those issues that we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation.
	Great.
	Thank you.
	What did you learn, Mr. Carney?
	Nice statement.
	Nice statement.
	I love Trump.
	And by the way, if I may just point out something that you might have missed in the beginning here.
	Let's just go right back to the beginning.
	Mark, would you like to say a few words?
	Look at the way Trump taps his legs.
	I'm on the edge of my seat, actually.
	There you go, kid.
	That is what you call...
	I don't use the word alpha male because it's very cliché, but that is what you call asserting dominance in negotiations.
	Did everybody pick up on...
	What Mark Carney said in that one-minute clip from their meeting today?
	He referred to Donald John Trump as a transformational president who secured the border, went after the fentanyl crisis, talked about the Arctic Ocean and security there.
	We're not yet...
	Eight minutes into the show, but we're not on Commitube, so I can say it.
	I fucking told you so, everybody watching this.
	You look like a transformational president?
	I can't even take credit for that, because that's Robert Barnes' term.
	Referring to Trump as a transformational president for doing the basics, securing the border, taking care of fentanyl, and ensuring that you have geopolitical, geonational security.
	Do you know what else it also sounds a whole hell of a lot like?
	Back in the day, when Pierre Poilievre was running to become this man's position right here, the Prime Minister of Canada, and I said, February 3rd, 2025, all Pierre had to say was, quote, we will work diligently with the Trump administration to secure the border, tighten up our lax immigration policy, and work vigorously to crack down on the illegal drug trade.
	That's all he had to say, and he could have washed his hands of any responsibility to actually do anything concrete by virtue of the fact that Trudeau paroled Parliament and there's nothing Conservatives could do.
	It was the easiest layup ever.
	Instead, what he said and puts out a seven-minute video derailing the lamentable state of the Canadian economy, thus highlighting the absurdity of starting a trade war with Canada.
	A monumental fumble.
	Unbelievable.
	But there was another one also.
	Not to pat myself on the back too much, but I will.
	Remember when I said not only was Trump giving him the layup, imagine how offended you would be if you were Trump.
	I offered you the layup.
	Here's the ball, Mr. Poilier.
	Go slam it.
	Oh, no, no, that's right.
	You spike the ball on the ground, pop it, and then walk off the field.
	Imagine being Donald Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and in so doing giving the biggest layup to Pierre Poilier, where all Pierre had to say was if it weren't for the liberals, we wouldn't have these tariffs.
	But instead, Pierre says if it weren't for Trump, we wouldn't have these tariffs.
	And then he pops the ball.
	That was Mark.
	What's his middle name?
	It's Mark J. Carney also.
	I don't know what his middle name is.
	Meeting with Donald John Trump.
	And it went very quickly from elbows up to bend the knee.
	And no, I don't mean anything sexual about that, you disgusting perverts.
	Bend the knee is a sign of submission.
	Not knees bent.
	Bend the knee and kiss the ring.
	That is what we saw from Mark J. Carney.
	I think they were at Buckingham Palace and there was just a meeting that they had.
	It lasted about 40 minutes of them talking.
	I think Mark Carney said three statements, maybe four statements.
	A lot of meh, meh, meh, meh.
	All right, whatever.
	People, we're going to go over that.
	But before we go over that, or at the same time as going over that, you may or may not recall, after Pierre Poiliev squandered what ought to have been a relative surefire thing of an election, A man who you may or may not know, Mario Zelaya on Twitter, who is a self-proclaimed liberal fact-checker and conservative Canadian.
	And you may or may not know him.
	It's Mario4TheNorth, the number four, at Mario4TheNorth on X. He had been an influential voice during the campaign.
	I was right, Mario.
	He's in the backdrop.
	He can see it now.
	Mario is an influential voice during the campaign, and he went on something of a meltdown after Pierre Poiliev officially lost the election and his own seat.
	We're going to talk about some of the conservative stuff coming out of Canada.
	Mario, despite his meltdown, I'm fairly certain is a decent human being, and I figured we'd air out our differences viva voce.
	Mario, sir, first of all, thank you for coming on the channel.
	I said the backdrop where you are looks absolutely beautiful.
	For those who don't know who you are...
	Although I suspect many have seen your videos.
	Who are you?
	I am, honestly, I'm an entrepreneur first.
	And I recently, I would say about a year and a half ago, started posting on TikTok.
	And my account, I think, really blew up on there.
	And I started garnering a lot of views.
	I started focusing a lot on Trump.
	Sorry, I started focusing a lot on Trudeau and the liberal policies.
	And I only recently opened up my X account, I think it was maybe in December, maybe November.
	And so I'm recent, I'm new to X and I'm new to Instagram just because I've been so busy.
	So I've been trying to basically promote a lot of just awareness of what's happening in Canada under the liberal rule for the last probably year and a half.
	It was primarily TikTok before.
	And so, you know, I started seeing a lot of kind of momentum across all platforms.
	And I think people are hungry for, I think, alternative news as opposed to mainstream news.
	And so my goal is, and I don't know if you know this or not, but...
	I purposely turn down sponsorship.
	I actually make zero dollars on what I do.
	I have, since January, probably have close to 300 million views across all platforms.
	I don't care to monetize it.
	I care for change.
	And that's always been my goal.
	Now, if I may ask, entrepreneur in what domains?
	Honestly, I touch a lot of different industries.
	The first company I had was marketing and tech.
	That got acquired by a private equity firm about a decade ago.
	Around that same period of time, I started an axe-throwing business.
	And that's the one that really started blowing up.
	At the peak before COVID, we had close to 40 locations.
	Right now we're about 20, I think 23 or 24 locations.
	I had locations in a lot of them in the US and Canada, had a couple in the UK.
	If people have ever heard of, you know, bad axe throwing.
	I'm the guy that started it.
	If anyone on the stream or anyone has ever seen Axe Throwing on TV, whether it's on ESPN or TSN, that's another company that I own.
	It's called WATL or the World Axe Throwing League.
	So it's been kind of instrumental to...
	If you've ever heard of Axe Throwing, the business that I own with the great employees that I have have allowed it to become basically a household name because of eight years ago.
	I actually do watch axe throwing.
	I didn't know that you owned it.
	I don't know if it's the Canadian competition.
	I mean, if it's the national competition I've watched.
	I love it.
	It's like darts, except with bigger darts that can do more darts.
	And the accuracy is amazing because they've got to go for different sized circles and they carry different points.
	And it just has to touch the circle when you throw it.
	But it's amazing.
	From one of your tweets, are you originally from El Salvador?
	I am.
	I was born in El Salvador.
	We left there, or I should say my family and I left there.
	I was only five years old.
	I obviously see myself as a Canadian.
	I've been here for almost 40 years.
	My first home in the country was a shelter home.
	I still picture it when you picture those movies where you have those shelters after a hurricane where it's just open beds in the open, and that's what it was like in Toronto.
	And, you know, we struggled.
	We struggled our way through.
	And, you know, my family, I should say my brothers and I got ourselves educated and kind of went down this path of just pushing forward.
	We've seen extreme ends of extreme poverty, having nothing, coming into Canada.
	I think my parents had, I would say, maybe $500 to their name.
	You know, three young kids didn't know how to speak English.
	English is my second language.
	You know, even as a kid, like, you know, when you go to the playground, we would just point to what we wanted to do.
	And so that's, yeah, that's generally my background.
	So born in El Salvador, but raised here.
	Are you 45 years old?
	I'm, what am I, 44. Am I turning 44 this year?
	Yeah, I'm turning 44 this year.
	Okay, now, when do you get into, I'm going to rib you a little bit because between, I don't know all of your election commentary, I just know mine, and I know where I was right and where I was not right.
	When did you get into politics and how long have you been conservative for?
	Honestly, that's a great question.
	I've actually been a liberal my whole life.
	I was a liberal my whole life, I would say, and I think I fall under this bucket where I think most immigrants do, where You go into a country, of course you vote liberal, right?
	They're the ones that let us in.
	And, you know, they're the ones that, you know, kind of had these policies and they're, you know, progressive.
	And honestly, like, for the longest time, I knew nothing about politics, like, whatsoever.
	I would say even six years ago, I just thought, you know, politics is for old, boring men and it had nothing to do with us.
	And it wasn't really until COVID.
	COVID is when I started seeing, like, I started seeing a big shift in how much I cared about it.
	And I remember CNN actually had reached out to me and they wanted me to come on air to talk to John King.
	And the first question John King asked me was basically a setup question against Donald Trump.
	What do you think about Donald Trump saying this, that we should open things up, but the governor is saying this?
	And my whole approach was, I really don't care.
	I don't care what Donald Trump said.
	I don't care what anyone said.
	I care about my business.
	My employees have kids to feed.
	They have a family.
	They have jobs.
	You're shutting down our country, our economy.
	I care about this thing, us getting it open and getting it restarted.
	Let's look at the facts here.
	And that's when I really started realizing that the whole thing with COVID, a lot of it was political.
	And even the shutdowns that we had in Ontario, most people don't realize that.
	Ontario was probably the most...
	Shutdown state in the world, not just in North America, in the world.
	It was literally a year before we could open back up.
	And the liberal politicians, they knew that.
	They knew we were getting absolutely dirt from the government.
	They gave us loans.
	And I'll give you a quick example.
	In Canada, they gave us loans of $40,000.
	They said, we'll give you a $60,000 loan, but if you pay the whole thing?
	We'll let you keep 20 of it.
	This is for my whole operations in Canada.
	I have, you know, eight, nine locations.
	I have rent.
	I have utilities.
	I have upkeep.
	I have insurance to pay for it.
	Like, there's so much infrastructure.
	40 grand does nothing.
	That's maybe two weeks worth of expenses at best.
	In the U.S., they said, you know what, Mario?
	Apply for a PPP loan.
	We're going to give you close to a million dollars.
	Like, we really...
	You know, we shut you down.
	You're making no money.
	You have all this infrastructure.
	Send us your details.
	That's the difference between America and Canada.
	And Canada kept us closed for almost twice as long as they did in the U.S. The whole thing was just a disgrace.
	And we started seeing these similarities happen within democratic states.
	Anything, you know, New York, oh, we're shut down.
	It's just like Ontario.
	You get down to Texas, oh, we're open right away.
	You get to Florida, we're open.
	Georgia?
	Yeah, we're starting to open up a bit more.
	And so that's when I really started getting into it.
	I didn't really start speaking about it until probably about a year and a half ago when I had enough.
	Do I understand not to compete?
	Did you vote Liberal in 2019?
	I didn't vote in 2019.
	Okay.
	I get flack because I voted Liberal in 2015 when I was...
	In West Mount Dantigi, it literally makes no difference, but...
	And like you say, it wasn't out of any sort of, it was just liberal.
	You vote liberal, especially, you know, historically, culturally, family.
	And you don't learn, and you realize that was the, I won't say the first, that was definitely the last time I voted liberal.
	I don't remember how I voted in other elections.
	I was going to ask you something.
	I'm originally from Quebec also, by the way.
	I think we had it worse than Ontario.
	We were locked down.
	We had curfew for five and a half months.
	And if you were eligible, they'd give you $2,000 a month as a stipend for the torture.
	So you turn conservative.
	I say everyone becomes conservative after they realize just how abusive the liberals are when you don't fall in line or even when you do.
	When do you become...
	Well, when do you get involved specifically in the Pierre Poilievre campaign?
	I would say I, you know, it's kind of a funny thing because I've never spoken to them.
	I've never, you know, worked with them in any way, shape or form.
	I would say my whole goal was this is the news today.
	You know, someone got shot and killed and they're out in bail.
	Why were they out in bail in the first place if they had another, you know, attempted murder charge?
	And so I would talk about, you know, Bill C-75.
	Why did Trudeau turn down a $1 trillion deal with Japan and tell them that there's no business case for it?
	And then Donald Trump just signed it with Japan.
	That's a trillion dollars out of all of our pockets.
	And so I would say I really started getting hot and heavy over it.
	And frankly, I never came out and said, I'm a conservative.
	You need to vote conservative.
	I was literally only telling people, this is what mainstream media is saying, but this is also what they're not saying.
	And I'm going to connect the dots for you all, and this is the information that I think you guys need to have, because this is exactly why this is happening.
	Why do we have nearly, what was it, 1.2 million immigrants that came in, I think it was in 2022 or 2023.
	What is it with our obsession with Pakistan and India?
	And all of a sudden, it's racist to say that.
	And it's like, you can't tell me what's racist when I'm a minority, I came to this country as an immigrant, and I came here as a refugee.
	Like, facts are not racist.
	You can interpret it however way you want, but these are facts.
	Like, the majority of the immigration came from there.
	India, Pakistan, China.
	But India, in the number one spot by, like, four times the number two spot, which I think was China, if not Pakistan, I'm going to double check.
	But, like, 110,000 in 2023 registered.
	It makes no sense.
	And you try to make it make sense.
	And the only way it makes sense is that it's fulfilling the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which is a racist conspiracy theory, until you realize it's happening, but you need the unskilled labor until you don't need the unskilled labor.
	Now you've got Mark Carney talking about getting immigration under normal control and making sure that you're taking in quality immigrants.
	It's the ultimate of gaslighting.
	But the problem is this, Marion.
	This is where we're going to get into Pierre's campaign.
	It's not just that...
	I turned out to be right.
	My criticism, I took a lot of flack for at the time, and I still take flack for it.
	And it wasn't criticism intended to tear down.
	It wasn't criticism intended to build up.
	People say, Viva, you've been Americanized.
	That type of politics won't work in Canada.
	Well, tough shit.
	This is how it turned out.
	What is your, not just a post-mortem assessment, assessment in the time of how Pierre ran his campaign?
	Well, I mean, let's talk specifically on immigration, and we'll talk on some of the other things.
	The tough part is 10% of our population is temporary workers.
	And these are people who eventually, I think, will end up becoming citizens of Canada.
	I think our naturalization rate is 50%.
	And for those viewers who don't know what that is, that means how many people in the country are going to convert to become Canadian citizens?
	Over what period of time?
	Is it over a decade, I think?
	I can't remember.
	I know it used to be 75%.
	But because how bad things are and how expensive are, that rate has dropped substantially to about 48%.
	And I honestly don't know through what length of time.
	10% are temporary workers in Canada.
	Yes.
	So we have 4.1 million people who are temporary workers.
	50,000 people who...
	Did not show up to the first day of school.
	They came here under fraudulent pretenses saying, I'm a student.
	I'm an international student.
	They didn't come here to be international students.
	They came here to take our jobs.
	They got in here and they used the student as a path to get in here.
	And there's so much corruption and scams that are going on within the country.
	There's so much birth tourism.
	I'm literally hearing from nurses working in hospitals in Quebec and British Columbia and Ontario that talk about what business does an eight-and-a-half-month pregnant woman have coming to Canada to visit?
	No one in their right mind is going to do that, right?
	You're coming here for citizenship.
	Do you know what country they tend to be coming from?
	By the way, it was the Philippines, which was number two, not Pakistan.
	But it's all close after the third.
	Are they from China, the eight-and-a-half-month pregnant women, or is it other countries?
	All the stories I've been hearing about were East Asia, which are India and Pakistan.
	And there's also a much bigger one that needs to be tackled.
	People bring in their parents from, say, India.
	And this is the story that I've heard is the big scam that's going on.
	And it got verified by a couple of nurses as well because they couldn't figure it out.
	They will say, you know, my dad is 65 years old.
	You can't get...
	You can't get your retirement or you can't get any sort of old age security in Canada unless you've been here for 10 years.
	So what they do is they come in, they falsify their paperwork because to get this stuff in a third world country, I can get fake documents for a few hundred bucks.
	So I can say I'm 65 years old.
	I get here, I'm really 55. Maybe I still work through my retirement.
	So they're still collecting income, but then they're able to retire and collect their old age security.
	And all of a sudden, and I'm calling it right now, we are going to have a record number of people over the age of 95 in the coming decade.
	But Nasa, you're talking about a problem that I was talking about.
	Less.
	I talk more about American stuff, but it was a known problem in Canada.
	It's been a known problem.
	It's been part and parcel of the people on terror watch lists getting nabbed crossing the border from Canada into the US.
	You want to tell me why?
	I mean, I don't know what your position was on how Pierre ran his campaign.
	I suspect you think he...
	I shouldn't even presume what you think.
	Why the hell was he not...
	He didn't talk about it at all.
	And people are going to say, well, he talked about it a year ago.
	Too bad.
	Nothing came out in the only 32 days of the election.
	What the hell?
	Honestly, I think, and this is going to tie into maybe something that we're going to cover later, is I really don't know if there's much more we could have done to battle.
	And I think the big thing, the big uphill battle that we really had, and don't get me wrong, I think there probably could be some improvements that Pierre Polyev and his team could do, but I really do think it was such an uphill battle that there is this such massive Donald Trump derangement syndrome that really, that's what people care about.
	Look at Australia.
	Australia, I think, won by a majority.
	I think it was a landslide by how they elected, and I honestly think Canadians believe, oh wow, some of these policies sound a lot like Trump.
	Oh shoot!
	We're going to have another Donald Trump in our hands.
	We can't do this.
	Donald Trump is the bad man.
	Let's just vote against the guy who's not Donald Trump.
	People don't realize that a conservative Canadian does not mean a Republican American.
	And there is a difference between the two.
	And I think there's also a difference in leadership and leadership styles.
	And I'm not here to criticize Donald Trump or anything of that sort.
	He's doing what he needs to do, what he feels is best for his country.
	But I truly do believe that as soon as people hear Pierre Polyev said, you know what?
	We have to cut down our federal workforce.
	We have 73% growth.
	We have over 100,000 public employees that were hired.
	We nearly doubled it under Trudeau in the last 10 years.
	And all Pierre Polyev said is we have to cut it down.
	All of a sudden, he's anti-worker.
	He's going to implement a doge.
	He's going to be like Donald Trump.
	And I brought up that comment, which I'll stop doing because I see they catch your eye, but that's because he's a cuck, someone said, referring to Pierre, not to you.
	He is a cuck, and you are going to get that blowback.
	And like I was saying, from the first time it happened, when you let the blowback dictate your strategy, you got the blowback coming from the media that manufactures the narrative, the same media that Pierre said he would cut the funding to.
	And then he just, he caters to it and then says, okay, they'll dictate my campaign strategy.
	How on earth does anyone think that's going to work out well?
	So what?
	And being a leader means, yeah, you're going to come after me.
	It's a big problem, and you can hammer home the facts.
	You said 10% temporary worker.
	Is it 25% of the population directly or indirectly employed by the federal government?
	I think you're probably right.
	I think the number is so astronomical.
	I think the number that you're maybe quoting might include federal, provincial, and municipal, which no matter what, it's unsustainable.
	Like, it's literally unsustainable.
	I understand the excuse, and it's not even an explanation.
	It's an excuse.
	Well, the media is going to come out hard.
	Well, first of all, had he won, maybe I'd be eating crow, but I would still probably, like a good lawyer, find a way to weasel out of it.
	I'm joking.
	Had he won, I would say, okay, fine.
	I was wrong.
	He lost.
	He did not talk about the things that made him popular in the first place, and it's borderline unforgivable.
	My only question is...
	Did he not want to win?
	Like, not either an Oprah Winfrey, like, fear of success type psychology, or other people suggesting he's happier to be a feckless opposition leader, go groveling for a seat in, what is it, Crowfoot.
	And I'm not trying to be, I'm not demeaning, it's just we're in Manitoba because he needs to go get the seat from Kuchek or the guy who, but, like, it's inexplicable.
	I don't think there is a good explanation for him bowing to that pressure that you've just described.
	Well, see, and I don't know if he necessarily bowed to the pressure.
	And honestly, you bring up a good point.
	I wonder what impact, if any at all, it would have if he literally said something along the lines like, Donald Trump, go F yourself.
	I'm going to come after you hard.
	When people elect me, you're going to regret the day that you ever made those threats.
	I don't know.
	Maybe he could have come out more aggressive.
	I honestly have no idea if that truly would have had much of an impact.
	And, you know, there's a few quick things that I want to, you know, basically touch on.
	And I'm not sure if you're seeing a lot of the mainstream media and your algorithms in your feeds of what we get in Canada.
	It is pure 100% what I believe is propaganda.
	Like, it was fully just weaponized everything.
	I honestly believe that Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, CBC, CCTV.
	All these outlets were just 100% out to get them.
	And the voters that come out, the voters that are over 55, 60 years old, even my parents, they voted liberal.
	They're glued to the TV.
	And that's the part that is, to me, absolutely insane, is those numbers came out in record numbers.
	They're scared.
	They operate off of rumors.
	I've heard from police officers who I'm friends with who will say, Mario, you should have seen the shit that I was hearing in the line of people saying why they came out.
	It's people that look like they haven't gotten out.
	I think he described it as people who haven't left their cave in a decade and they came out just to vote.
	For Mark Carney.
	And they're saying, like, he's going to privatize healthcare.
	I made a video saying, I will give anyone $5,000 to the first person that sent me a video where Pierre Polyev said he's going to privatize healthcare.
	And these are the things that they care about.
	It's the absolute most astronomical, ridiculous stuff I've ever heard.
	Well, but now you're making another point that I was making.
	First of all, I don't know if my feed looks like yours.
	I get a lot of CTV news and I always comment on it.
	If you put in the Viva Fry CTV news, you'll see me.
	I give them hell that they deserve.
	But you're confirming the other criticism which I had, which was that he was allowing MSM propaganda to dictate his strategies, policies, and campaign, while simultaneously not going on independent media that would still get the views to get these people informed who have been living in their caves.
	I don't see his campaign as anything but a monumental screw-up.
	And I don't care that people say he got more votes than the Conservatives last time.
	Yeah, because there's six million more people in Canada.
	It's pure math.
	Oh, he got more seats.
	I know they picked up some seats, but you're just illustrating another point that he allowed the media to dictate his policy while simultaneously ignoring alternative media.
	What's anyone's excuse for why he didn't do Gadsad, set aside the American ones, which I still think is bullshit.
	What's the excuse?
	I don't know why he didn't do Gadsad.
	That's a really good point.
	I think that would be a great...
	You know, discussion.
	I think yours would be great as well.
	I could appreciate that.
	There are too many tweets that I've had that people say, "How the hell do you go on this guy's channel?" That I could appreciate, but Gad's kind of an academic.
	Yeah, well, and see, I feel like in a way, I think I'm honestly blacklisted in a way myself.
	I think there's a reason why they haven't talked to me.
	I know that they all know who I am.
	I mean, I...
	Just quick facts.
	I mean, Globe and Mail did this whole article on social media, social media influencers, and TikTok viral videos.
	They said number one is CBC, number two is CTV, and I'm number three.
	But what they don't know is my numbers are actually more than CTV and CBC combined.
	And so the reach that I have was actually quite substantial.
	But because I have made very strong statements against immigration, I've made some very strong statements, I could not get any sort of interview with them.
	I think purposely that there's this potential that it could be looked at as damaged goods, and that could hurt his campaign.
	And I think there was, pardon the pun, a more conservative approach to certain media outlets, which they did and did not take.
	And I think part of that involved not touching anything in the U.S. Because when, you know, Chrystia Freeland went to, I can't remember what, Daily Show, one of those shows in the U.S., Mark Carney announced, quasi-announced his leadership in one of the TV shows in the U.S. as well.
	It was looked at very negatively.
	And I think if Pierre Polyev went on Joe Rogan, it would be like, see, this guy is just like Donald Trump.
	You should not vote for him.
	And it would have been weaponized against him.
	And I really do feel like there's this really strong negative sentiment against anything.
	Anything America.
	And that's just the reality of how Canada is.
	I went on vacation to Florida, dude.
	I got ripped a new one.
	I got ripped a new one for taking a vacation with my own after-tax dollars.
	You're not going to tell me where I'm going to go.
	Because there's tariffs, I shouldn't be able to go anywhere on vacation with my kids.
	Makes no sense.
	I was telling my kids, we ordered a Freedom Juice.
	He's like, what's Freedom Juice?
	It's freshly squeezed orange juice.
	I'm going to go and drink Florida orange juice.
	It's nuts because they've gotten Canadians to To have nothing and be happy.
	Or you will own nothing and be happy.
	They get them to do it voluntarily.
	Like, don't go to the US.
	Stay here.
	Don't get sun.
	Don't drink orange juice.
	My goodness.
	But the problem is, I think we all agree, Canadians are among the most propagandized people on Earth.
	You can think of North Korea as more.
	And I don't think Russians are more propagandized than Canadians.
	I think they actually know how to navigate media.
	Maybe Australians, and we're seeing the fruits of those government investment labors.
	But I would have run not a fuck you Trump campaign.
	A Trump is not the enemy.
	And if you think you're awake up, it would have been a cold splash of water to the face for Canada.
	And I think that's what Canadians needed, wanted.
	The ones who are coming out of their cave are going to vote that way no matter what.
	But you still risk waking them up with a little bit of brash cold water, which Pierre was...
	Warm milk and sour milk at that.
	Yeah, and it's funny you mention that because I've actually heard from a woman who grew up in China.
	And she's like, "I'm so embarrassed of how easily Canadians fall for mainstream media BS." And she said, "Even us in China, we know not to believe mainstream media." That's ingrained in their culture.
	This is coming directly from...
	This person who grew up in China, and she's just like, I have no idea how Canadians fall for this.
	Like, I can't believe it's gotten to that point where they just believe everything they see.
	And unfortunately, we have gotten to that point.
	And I think, you know, part of what I feel like I am starting to make some headway on is educating people of why.
	I have this disdain and this distrust and disgust for mainstream media.
	And I gave a perfect example for the Globe and Mail article that was written.
	They asked me, Mario, what's your most recent top viral video?
	And I said, it's this one.
	And I gave them one where I made a simple video and I said, this is where Mike Myers endorsed Mark Carney.
	And I made a quick video and I said, so let me get this straight.
	The guy that lives in a $20 million...
	A condo in New York City flew up to endorse the guy that hasn't lived here in 10 years.
	That on Instagram got over, let's say, 1 million views.
	I think 1.1 million, whatever the number is.
	They took something else completely irrelevant that would say...
	And my video, the video that I made was a joke.
	And anyone who follows me knows it's a joke.
	But if you read it in the Globe and Mail, you'd think, this guy's a piece of shit.
	And literally, my video was, you know, I'm not the type of person that will tell you, you know, who to vote for.
	But if you vote for the Liberals, you're an idiot.
	And that didn't even get many views.
	So why would they use that?
	And I gave a very long quote.
	And my quote to them was, they're like, where do you see yourself in this political perspective?
	Like, where are you in the spectrum?
	And I literally said, I truly believe mainstream media, including you at the Globe and Mail, are so far left-leaning that it borderlines propaganda for the Liberal Party.
	I'm the yin to your yang.
	I'm like, I make no money off of it.
	I am right-leaning and I focus on facts.
	You think they publish that?
	Not at all.
	And this is part of why I, and I've had, you know, CBC reached out to me.
	They wanted to interview me.
	I just said, I don't care to talk to CBC.
	I don't care to talk to mainstream media.
	Like, I literally don't need you and I don't need you to use me for your clicks.
	Or to get more viewership so you can run your propaganda against me.
	And so this is to me like, you know, perfect example is I can say, hey guys, look, the sky's blue.
	And then they'll say, can you believe he said the sky's blue?
	It's actually orange.
	It's sunset.
	This guy's lying to you.
	And this is the type of propaganda that I believe mainstream media does, is they will take half-truths and they will weaponize it against you in order to...
	Put forward whatever their political position is.
	And that is part of why I'm just kind of disgusted by it.
	Well, and that is true.
	And that is why I can't rail enough against Pierre for caving to that pressure from those propagandists.
	And what the fake news will do is pretend not to get a joke and pretend that it was a serious comment when you made it, unless you make it so, so obviously sarcastic that it's no longer funny.
	And by the way, just so everybody knows, go check out Mario Zelaya, at Mario for the North, and make sure that you hit the thumbs up and subscribe to this while you're here.
	I was also, Mario, I was looking, because the amount of times I said, if you vote for the liberals, you're an idiot.
	Go put it in.
	It was endless.
	I use you're an idiot quite often, but if you vote for the liberals, you were an idiot, and you did, and to the victor go the spoils of your stupidity.
	The question is this.
	Well, actually, no.
	On the topic of making jokes that people take seriously.
	After the election, you came down hard on Patrick Bet-David and Chris Pabloski.
	Now, I do say, like, look, you can talk away on Twitter that if you said it in real life, like, oh, fuck off, nobody would think twice about it.
	It's just like, oh, you could tell by the intonation of the voice, it's not a serious fuck off.
	It's not like, fuck off!
	And I read your tweets in a bit like that.
	Oh, shut your mouth, guys.
	But I got to bring it up because they're kind of hilarious.
	Mario Zelaya.
	It was in response to Patrick Bet-David.
	I don't know if I'm going to see the response.
	Oh, for goodness sake, I got to bring it up in non-incognito.
	I can speak to it while you bring it up if that's helpful.
	Yeah, and so I think that there was one key line I left out in my response to Patrick David Bet.
	And I basically said, look.
	I ultimately said, look, David, you don't know what you're talking about.
	Podcasts do nothing.
	And the line that I left out is, podcasts do nothing when you're going up against Donald Trump and you're going against the terrorists.
	Because that changed the whole perspective on things.
	And I will use Max as a perfect example.
	I think they got 780,000 or 800,000 votes, or I could be wrong, maybe more than that, in 2021.
	And in this election, they got, you know, 130,000.
	And he went on Tucker, he went on whatever ones, and it had a negative effect.
	And part of me thinks, if Pierre Polyev went on Tucker Carlson, he went on Joe Rogan, I don't know, I think the Liberals might even have a majority.
	That is kind of the derangement of what's happening right now in Canada, in everything being...
	Anti-America.
	I went into...
	I go into the grocery stores.
	There's nothing but Canadian flags made in Canada.
	People are gravitating towards that.
	People are gravitating towards that.
	That might be part and parcel of the ecosystem that Pierre Paulievre was too cowardly to shake up.
	First, I've got to read the tweet because it's hilarious.
	Patrick Ben-David put out this.
	And his tweet was fire.
	Canada, I certainly hope your candidate, Pierre Polyev, did everything in his power to win for you.
	I hope you held him accountable.
	I hope you drove him to earn his victory instead to be entitled to one.
	I hope he and his team reached out to Tucker, Nelk, Rogan, Theo Vaughn, Megan Kelly, Sean Ryan, Bill Marleks, I think Patrick disclosed that there were a number of these that Pierre had access to and declined.
	I certainly hope your fear of the liberal media in Canada didn't bully you from his campaign.
	From campaigning the old-fashioned way, I hope.
	To which you replied, shut your mouth, podcasts do nothing.
	You know absolutely nothing about politics.
	Max Birney from the PPC went on Tucker, lost by 50%.
	Donald Trump is what destroyed the lead.
	It's because almost all Canadians can't stand him for the 51st state comments he made, and people relate conservatives with Republicans.
	First of all, so I read the shut your mouth.
	I didn't read it quite as seriously as maybe it was intended or as others read it.
	Where I think you have seriously flawed reasoning is comparing what a candidate who never had a snowball's chance in hell of becoming prime minister did and lost, obviously, to what the one who was in the lead ought to have done.
	It's sort of like saying almost like, well, you know, the NDP and the Green Party never had a chance of winning, so they should have just not campaigned.
	There was no point spending the money.
	The other thing is, part of what you say might be right in that Donald Trump is what destroyed his lead.
	My retort to that is always going to be it wasn't Donald Trump who destroyed his lead.
	It was his response to what Donald Trump did that destroyed his lead.
	There was a way to turn that 51st state comment from an attack on the sovereignty of the nation into a flattering sort of like guy trying to pick up a chick at a bar and saying, hey, you look mighty pretty.
	Like that's what Pierre could have done.
	Hey, Trump, I'm sure you'd love to have Canada as a 51st state and we're flattered for the offer.
	And then you go like there were so many other ways.
	To deal with this better, I think, than to play into what he perceived as the TDS that he needed to gain.
	And he could have riled up Canadians to the point where, like, you don't need to be offended by the come-on.
	You can be flattered by it.
	And nothing's going to change my mind about that.
	The cope that drives me nuts is now when conservatives were, it's going to be a majority conservative.
	We're going to win all the ridings.
	The liberals are going to be decimated.
	They're not even going to exist anymore to, oh, well, it's a good thing he did what he did.
	Otherwise, we'd be dealing with a liberal majority.
	Loser thought, political cope.
	So I'm going to say I disagree with it.
	And I'll give you just a quick example of something that I've seen.
	So when Donald Trump first made his comments about the 51st state and Governor Trudeau, we thought it was hilarious.
	Everyone thought it was hilarious.
	It's like, this guy doesn't respect Trudeau.
	Trudeau's a douchebag.
	You know, we all agreed with it.
	And I made a video and I read Donald Trump's tweet.
	And he said something like, you know, you'll pay half taxes if you join the 51st state.
	And I said, that sounds pretty good.
	And I smiled.
	That was it.
	And it went on Fox News.
	It went semi-viral.
	I got ripped to shreds, even from conservatives, for saying that.
	And it was a joke.
	Like, I'm literally joking.
	The one thing that I did say is what sounded pretty good was the half taxes.
	Who's going to say no?
	Give me one person who doesn't want to pay half the taxes that they're paying.
	It doesn't exist.
	So I was like, man, this sounds pretty good.
	Fox News ran it.
	Oh my goodness.
	It was like shit hit the fan.
	It's like I became Canada's number one trader and anyone who followed me for long enough knew that the comment was playful.
	They know my personality.
	They know where I stand on things.
	But those who didn't, it was literally a witch hunt.
	I have had similar experiences with Canadian so-called conservatives.
	They need a slap.
	They don't need to be coddled.
	And what I think is happening is they're being coddled by the groupthink of the Canadian so-called conservative movement to say, yeah, we're going to rationalize our own political cowardice and we're going to rationalize the fact that we kind of react.
	They reacted a lot like DeSantis and his crowd online when they were running against Trump.
	And they rationalized it to themselves.
	Even after the loss, they rationalized it to themselves.
	So I think they need a political slapping, not a political coddling.
	But what I see them getting from their party and from their brethren is a political coddling.
	I don't even know what the question is in there.
	I'm venting because what you say, I mean, it's sort of similar.
	I take flack from the Conservatives for being right and telling it like it is, at least on this.
	I'm wrong on other stuff.
	But instead of them saying, yeah, you might have been right.
	No, not only were you right, but fuck you for being right.
	You live in Florida.
	Piss off and shut up.
	Well, here's the thing.
	I would say that I really do believe, and I know you're a believer that he was losing and he should have just...
	Gone with a Hail Mary and basically gone on these podcasts.
	I disagree.
	I know the conservatives themselves, me, myself, no one trusted the polls because there's such a wide variance.
	And I always said this from the beginning, and I said these polls make no sense.
	You have bias.
	You have someone that used to be a liberal campaign manager that owns one company.
	You have another gentleman that made very nefarious tweets against Pierre Pauly of saying, I'm going to make it basically like...
	My life's work or whatever the heck he said to make sure that he doesn't get into office.
	These are the people that are pushing the polls.
	They had a 15% margin for the Liberals winning over the Conservatives.
	And I knew the Conservative movement, how it is in Canada, at most, maybe you'll lose 1%, 2%.
	I always said that there's a small variance.
	There's no way you're going from 43, 44 to 30. And then the Liberals are winning ahead.
	And so we all...
	Truly did believe that.
	And it ended up being true.
	It ended up being true.
	Not in 100 years.
	Almost 100 years have two parties gotten over 40% of the popular vote.
	And I'm not going to tout it as like, you know, this is a huge victory.
	I'm just saying is that...
	We had so much of an uphill battle, and I'm saying we, I'm using a global we for the Conservatives, that I really do believe that if he tried taking that Hail Mary approach, went on Tucker, went on Joe Rogan, went on all these podcasts, the only one that probably wouldn't have hurt him, I think, would have been the Nelk Boys because they're Canadians, and people know that.
	And they could have started off with that opening.
	But, you know, did we get a great deal amount of young Conservatives coming out?
	Yes.
	Obviously, the Nelk boys are on a different level in terms of their podcasts, but in terms of views, specifically talking about the Conservative movement, how bad the Liberal Party is for Canada, I think I would probably say that I have more views than they do.
	During a six-month period, I have to be at maybe four or five hundred million views.
	Speaking only on these topics objectively and not monetizing it.
	And that's a consistent feedback that I've heard from not only the older generation, because I do have people plus 55 that are on TikTok, but I also have a lot of younger audiences who follow me too.
	And I think part of it helped create that younger movement to come out and vote.
	Well, this was the other problem, the argument I was having.
	The polls are rubbish, by and large, always, unless they're radically against the narrative.
	And even in that case, you could have these false flag-type polls to make people get mobilized.
	Markets, as I was saying at the time, were harder to manipulate.
	And sure, it could have taken a million or two million Chinese dollars.
	And you have the you have the market data to drive the propaganda media narrative.
	But at some point, it's harder to manipulate the markets than the polls.
	And conservatives were not listening to that.
	And it wasn't a Hail Mary.
	I mean, the other thing, by the way, the reason why the PPC got their asses handed.
	It's a problem that they couldn't mobilize faster.
	they couldn't even fill a slate.
	But Pierre Poiliev had almost sort of, what's it called when you, not a layup, but...
	He had laid the groundwork for this sort of a loss only by not anticipating anybody other than Freeland or Karina Gould.
	I mean, I think everybody was thinking it would be Freeland was the surefire thing.
	So I think he sort of got very comfortable with the fact that he was going to become the prime minister three months before the election was called.
	And then when they swapped out the two idiots, Karina Gould and Chrystia Freeland, for the guy who, at the very least, if nothing else, he looks prime ministerial.
	He's a good-looking...
	You know, healthy-looking elderly gentleman, white hair.
	He's the type of guy, you know, from stereotypes you want as a CEO of a company.
	They swapped him in.
	And then Pierre was just operating still on that, riding the thought that he was going to just, you know, sweep in and become prime minister and didn't campaign the way he otherwise would have.
	Like, I guess the issue is it wasn't even a Hail Mary.
	He didn't campaign the way he needed to from day one because he was riding the I'm going to run against Freeland and not Carney train and just presuming that he was going to become prime minister.
	Well, actually, I want to share some insights with you.
	I went into a member of parliament meeting, a conservative parliament meeting.
	There was a member of parliament that was part of Paldio's team that was there, and this is before Mark Carney announced his leadership bid.
	You can actually check the timestamps.
	They literally said, we know he's probably going to announce.
	We know he's probably going to win.
	Before Mark Carney announced, They were already attacking the Carney policies.
	And so when Carney was named as the chief economic advisor for the Liberal Party, they already started doing that.
	And so I would say that they actually started campaigning against Carney well in advance before the leadership, even before he won it and ultimately became Trudeau's replacement.
	So they did start early on.
	I got to hand it to them.
	I don't know how I didn't see it.
	They did.
	They actually did, and they knew it.
	And you can look at old kind of tweets and timestamps when they did that, but you should check it out.
	But I was there when they told me, and I was like, holy shit, like Carney's actually going to do it.
	I'll tell you a crazy story.
	My brother is the head of the practice at Ernst& Young for the economics division.
	You know, really smart guy, has his undergrad master's, PhD in economics.
	And he said, you know what?
	He's like, have you heard of a guy named Mark Carney?
	And I was like, no.
	I'm like, who the heck is that?
	This was over a year ago.
	And he's like, we just had a lunch.
	And he gave the most bizarre speech.
	He's like, I think this guy's trying to be the Prime Minister of Canada.
	I was like, seriously?
	He's like, yeah.
	He's like, there's certain signals and certain things that he said.
	And he's like, it was really weird.
	He's like, check it out.
	That, I think, later on that day, one or two days after, it shows that Mark Carney gave this speech.
	And that's when I looked him up.
	I had no idea who he was.
	And my brother's like, he's got a killer resume.
	He's like, Goldman Sachs, he's a smart guy.
	He's like, you should check him out.
	And I said, holy crap, I never forgot that name.
	And then Trudeau announced that, you know, you have this new economic advisor.
	And so I think it was at that moment in time that I think the conservatives really had concerns over him.
	And it really started happening.
	And so those pieces, I was actually more shocked that my brother, who's not involved in politics at all, he could care less.
	He doesn't really fall in one political spectrum or another.
	But he called it.
	He literally called it a year ago.
	Well, I mean, that even makes it more inexcusable.
	The word was complacency.
	So thank you, whoever refreshed my memory.
	He had gotten complacent because his interview with Jordan Peterson was talking about...
	What he's going to be doing in his third year of his prime ministership as though it's just a slam dunk.
	It makes it even more inexcusable, I think.
	I am of the opinion that he should have gone full Canadian MAGA because that's what made him popular.
	I think what sealed the deal was when I saw that he was forcing conservatives to take off their maple MAGA hats to attend rallies, and then I took flack for that.
	Oh, it's not happening.
	If it's happening, it's a liberal fake plant to try to spread disinformation.
	It was real.
	And when you see the hearts of conservatives getting broken, I think he should have embraced CAGA, or a CAGA, or no, it would be MACA, not MAGA.
	No, it would be MACAGA.
	You know what I mean?
	He should have embraced MAGA spirit in Canada.
	He could have done something differently, but the question now is, Mario, I mean, you're in the thick of it.
	You're not going anywhere, I don't think.
	Do you think Canada survives four years of...
	Back it up.
	Do you think the Liberals are going to make a deal with the NDP, coalition, support government, or you're going to have people crossing the...
	It's called crossing the aisle or crossing the...
	I think it was.
	Yeah, crossing the aisle to become Liberals.
	I mean, is NDP at least two or three of them going to swap, switch, coalesce with the Liberals to give them a majority?
	I think so.
	I think so.
	I think Mark Carney came out and said, oh, no, no, because right now Canadians hate the word coalition.
	We have been brutalized over it.
	We've wanted nothing more than to have an election.
	And, you know, just like how, and, you know, your point of Maple Maga, that was on my bio for about a year.
	Like, people are, like, weaponizing that today.
	And I've always said this, and I said, I probably support 95% of Donald Trump's policies.
	I don't support the terrorists.
	Obviously, they're awful.
	Carney came out today and basically said, not only does he support them, he's a transformational president who's protecting America.
	Yes.
	And that's right.
	And the thing is, that's just the mindset of where a lot of Canadians are.
	You call yourself a Maple Maga, how dare you?
	The liberals are burning liberals' Teslas.
	Right?
	Like, that's how we've gotten to.
	Like, the liberals were the one, like, you got to buy a green vehicle.
	You got to do this.
	Oh, I'm not buying the green vehicle.
	Oh, you're a liberal too and you got a Tesla?
	I'm going to set it on fire.
	I'm going to key it.
	And it's just this, it's almost like hysteria.
	That's the word for it.
	It's this mass hysteria.
	Mass formation psychosis at a national political level.
	And I think they needed to be woken up from that and not coddled in it.
	But that's, so you think there's going to be something of a...
	It won't be coalition.
	It could be informal support.
	Or I think the NDP just...
	The NDP is no longer recognized as an official party, right?
	They're under the 15 seats?
	Yeah, correct.
	They lost the...
	I think it's just called party status.
	So what interest do they even have in clinging on to their NDP title?
	Three or four of them.
	I mean, no, that's a good point.
	And just to give you a quick story and update, The Liberal Party under Kathleen Wynne, this was almost a decade ago, destroyed the Ontario economy so badly that that taste is still so sour in the people of Ontario's minds that I don't know if there'll ever be a Liberal Premier in the next decade.
	Even though people don't like Doug Ford and they think he's a traitor for not endorsing Pierre Polyev, and you look at anything Doug Ford tweets out, it's all negative comments against him.
	Doug Ford.
	But I truly think that the Conservatives will always win.
	I think that's going to happen with the NDP.
	I think Jagmeet destroyed the NDP party for at minimum a decade.
	And that's obviously going to be a problem because they used to take the votes from the Liberals, right?
	Maybe in the next election, we'll probably regain quite a bit of seats, seeing that the Liberals aren't going to do what they said they were going to do and stand up to Donald Trump.
	I think NDP is going to have a very hard uphill battle.
	So I think the next election is still going to be relatively close.
	I don't know.
	Today, I don't know if we'd still get a majority if the Conservative wins.
	The amazing thing now is that you got Carney coming out and talking about actually capping immigration.
	He said he would cap it at less than 5%.
	It was temporary.
	I think it was temporary residents at less than 5% of the population of Canada by 2027.
	That's still a massive number, though.
	Not to get too cynical, does Canada survive another four years in any shape that we recognize?
	No, it doesn't.
	Because right now, people say healthcare is a provincial issue.
	It's got nothing to do with the federal, but it is when the immigration is coming in and there's not enough infrastructure being built.
	To keep up with the uncontrolled immigration that's coming into the country.
	So I think since 2018, 74,000 Canadians have died waiting for surgery or even just imaging.
	They're literally just waiting.
	And I think the average wait time, the Fraser Institute did an amazing study that talked about what's average.
	Yeah, like to get MRI and imaging, it's ridiculous.
	Like where we fall in like some of these OECD countries, it is just basically dead last across the board.
	I think people in Nova Scotia have it the absolute worst.
	Ontario is somewhere in the middle.
	I mean, just even from a healthcare perspective, I just don't think we survive.
	And I think it's this, people think that, you know, the Century Initiative is some sort of a conspiracy theory.
	But they don't really, this is real.
	They used to have MPs of the Liberal Party that sat in it.
	Mark Carney's advisor.
	I think his name is Mark Wiseman.
	He's one of the founders of the Century Initiative.
	And for those who don't know what that is, that calls for Canada's population to reach 100 million by 2100.
	The math of that from today, I believe I did it, I think it was 780,000 immigrants every single year for the next, whatever, 75 years to be able to reach that number.
	It's insane.
	I talked about that a while back.
	I think anybody who's been around the channel for a year knows it was just an informal, non-government program that they wanted to double.
	The thing is, it would go up on a scale, right?
	They wouldn't start at 780,000.
	The more the population grows, the more immigrants they can take in.
	It'll bankrupt the country.
	The question is this, Alberta talking secession, and one of my predictions was that if the Liberals got a majority, you'll see Alberta secede or move to secede, and if Carney doesn't...
	Allow Alberta to fully exploit its natural resources.
	They will.
	And Quebec will secede as well.
	They'll go for a third time.
	And what you'll have is the breaking up or balkanization of Canada.
	And whether or not Alberta becomes a 51st state, they're just going to say, we want out of this oppressive abusive relationship.
	And I think they'll get it unless the courts stop them.
	On the ground in Canada, what do you feel about the secession movement of Alberta?
	It's going to happen.
	That referendum?
	The question is going to be posed in April.
	I'm certain of it.
	I think, you know, Danielle Smith, did you see the statement that she made yesterday?
	I don't know if you got a chance to see it.
	Yesterday, I don't think so.
	What was it yesterday?
	It was an incredible masterclass of diplomacy, leadership, and her basically saying, we're not effing around anymore.
	And she basically said, look, my party and my view...
	I don't want to separate from Canada and we're not going to oppose it.
	But if the citizens want it, I'm going to do the democratic thing and we're going to pose the question next year in April 2026.
	She made demands.
	She said, you know what?
	The equalization payments, we haven't seen the results.
	We've been subsidizing all of Canada.
	She ripped the whole equalization payments.
	She's like, what are we doing subsidizing Ontario?
	What are we doing subsidizing Quebec?
	These are massive economies.
	The whole concept of equalization was to help smaller provinces like PEI, Nova Scotia.
	And she gave a beautiful breakdown.
	You should watch it.
	It's probably 15 minutes long.
	It was unbelievable.
	And she basically told Carney, ultimately, how dare you guys leave oil in the ground?
	You need it.
	You come strip us.
	You handcuff us.
	With the resources that we have, we can be, I think she said, as a standalone entity.
	Alberta could be the wealthiest nation in the world.
	And I truly do believe that is the Saudi Arabia of the north.
	There's so much oil, there's so much wealth, and we are capping it.
	We have this bill, I think it's C-69, with the No Pipelines Act.
	It is absolutely devastating, not just to Canada, but to Alberta.
	And so her whole thing is like, we're done being pushed around.
	And it was so eloquently put.
	I don't know if there's anything you could dissect that she said that is wrong.
	So I would honestly suggest that everyone watch it.
	It was beautiful.
	I'll pull up a clip after you're here and I'll play that for the crowd.
	But this is another, I'm just going to keep railing against Pierre and the Conservatives, where Pierre had a good point that he didn't make nearly enough during the election about how if Canada produced energy unrestricted and ethically the way it does, It would reduce global emissions by causing countries like India to not produce in dirty ways.
	But Mark Carney, another thing that he didn't harp at all, the WEF globalist whore that he is, has invested in these dirty energy countries.
	And so he had a vested interest to cripple Canadian economy for the climate crisis while investing in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.
	Mario, you're a reasonable person.
	I knew you were reasonable.
	I felt it was a bit of a meltdown and you were a bit frustrated.
	But what do you do now that the election is over and you've got to live with this?
	Well, honestly, I'm just going to continue what I'm doing.
	I would say that the big move that I made this time around and a regret that I have is not opening up a Facebook account and not growing that because there's a lot of the older demographics that is glued to CTVCBC, but they also use Facebook.
	And Facebook, people forget Facebook's penetration is massive, even though I haven't used it personally.
	Maybe a couple of years.
	I don't know many people in the younger generation that uses it all, but my parents do.
	And, you know, the boomers, and I mean, no disrespect when I say that, but the older boomer generation, they do.
	And so I'm just going to continue doing what I'm doing and just basically breaking down the news as it happens, giving people an insight.
	To what has happened, why we've gotten to the way we are, because I think the key of it is to make it very insightful.
	Like, I don't know a single person who just, other than people maybe in their late 60s, you know, at best, CBC will probably get 150,000 viewers.
	Just alone on a tweet that you make, you'll get more viewership than they do.
	And I think this is where independent information is headed.
	I think we just need to reach the right audience.
	And to me, the right audience of what we need to educate is the ones that operated based off a lot of propaganda and rumors.
	And I think Facebook is a good channel to hopefully penetrate that.
	So I'm going to continue what I'm doing because I've heard a lot of positive things and a lot of negative things.
	And you've got to know this too, and I'm sure you face it all the time.
	When you make a stance on something, you get hated.
	I mean, when I was posting about immigration, And how bad we have.
	I'd be getting almost daily death threats.
	And that's how it is, right?
	Like, how dare you?
	You're racist.
	I'm going to kill you.
	You know, if I see you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	It's always the same crap.
	But I'm just going to keep doing exactly what I'm doing because a lot of the conversations that used to be private where people would be like, you know what?
	Like, what happened to Canada?
	Like, why?
	You know, why?
	And honestly, frankly speaking, the question I would always get in the comments, why are there so many Indians in Canada?
	I landed in Toronto.
	It was like Bangladesh in the airport.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	Bangladesh is a beautiful place.
	Every country has their people.
	It was just like entering a foreign country.
	That's racist.
	Viva Canada.
	The Europeans before them were the natives.
	Whatever it was and whatever it is, there's a change going on in real time.
	And whether or not you think it's good or bad, you can't say that it's not happening.
	And to say that someone's racist for saying that it's happening without judgment, I happen to think it's a bad thing, not because of where they're coming from, just because of the fact that too many are coming for the system.
	Set aside the fact that it's not normal to import people who don't speak either of the two languages of the country and seem to be reluctant to learn it.
	But yeah, you get, well, I've been realizing you get hate.
	For saying that there's no good excuse to use the N-word.
	That one is the one that's pissing me off these days.
	You may not be down with this story in the States, but the woman who raised $600,000 after referring to a child as the N-word.
	There's never a good excuse to use that word.
	Are you planning on sticking around?
	Have you thought about defecting to the US?
	Honestly, it's not.
	It's not something I'd consider.
	The only way I would consider going to the U.S. would be on a temporary basis.
	I have an 11-year-old son who I train almost a daily basis for basketball.
	And he's extremely good for his age.
	And he's got dreams and I want to help him achieve those dreams.
	And he really wants to one day go to a D1 school.
	And so the only way I would move would be for him.
	And just to be there for support.
	But Canada will always be my home.
	And, you know, I think, honestly, I think over a decade ago, we looked at it moving to Florida.
	It is more for weather, but we have so much family here.
	You know, we are happy here, despite, you know, the negative things that have happened over the last decade.
	I just can't see ourselves moving.
	Well, Mario, I'm going to keep going live after this.
	So where can people find you?
	And I'll put the links in the pinned comment.
	It's Mario4TheNorth.
	Mario4TheNorth on Twitter.
	TikTok?
	I'm not sure how many of my followers are on TikTok, but in case they are...
	I would say Mario4TheNorth on Facebook.
	Instagram and X. And then, yeah, TikTok, it's kind of got its own thing going right now.
	Mario for the North.
	I'll put it in the chat.
	Appreciate it.
	Mario, look, I'm glad.
	I don't take very much personally on Twitter, and I hope other people don't, but I know some people do.
	I've reached out to Rachel Gilmore.
	Happy to have her on, even though she pretended not to get my joke about Carney speaking in satanic tongues when he was trying to speak French.
	But...
	Doesn't matter.
	Thank you for coming on, Mario.
	It was great to meet you.
	And if you're down in Florida, I love axe throwing.
	I love any game that is repetitive motion, like bowling, darts, golf.
	So if you're down here, let me know.
	And if I make it back up to the great white north.
	Yeah, 100%.
	Honestly, thanks a lot for having me on.
	And I got to say, too, same thing.
	I don't take things personally.
	I mean, people can say whatever they want online.
	It's not going to affect me whatsoever.
	And I think it's healthy for us to have disagreements.
	And you and I could disagree on...
	Everything.
	But I think it makes it more entertaining so then I understand your perspective and you understand mine.
	And I truly do believe that we need to move towards a society where you can have respectful conversations, you can have respectful disagreements.
	And even if it's not respectful, even if we start getting into it, maybe we're swearing at each other, whatever, at least we're having it out as opposed to sitting behind a computer acting all tough, like let's have these conversations.
	Like, let's get these things out in the open.
	And it doesn't matter where you sit on the political spectrum either.
	You know, I think Rachel is a perfect example.
	You know, she blocked me, but she only blocked me after she tried getting doxing one of my businesses and flooding it with negative reviews.
	And so it's like, it's just, there's certain things that...
	You know, I can look past and there's certain things that just show the personality of a person.
	And to me, the fact that, you know, you and I had connected and we said, you know, Mario, do you want to come online?
	And, you know, for you to extend the invite, I think it truly shows the type of person you are.
	And honestly, I respect it.
	I really do.
	I like you and I respect you.
	Thank you very much, Mario.
	It was great.
	And I got some clips of Mark Carney that I still got to play.
	And the one of Danielle Smith.
	So we'll keep in touch, Mario.
	It was great talking to you.
	For sure.
	Okay, thanks, brother.
	Appreciate it.
	Have a good one.
	Now, sorry, I didn't mean to cut him off quite so quickly.
	We're still going on, people, so hold up.
	I'm going to read some of the chats.
	Neurodivergent from our VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com community says, Hey, David, can I get a shout-out for coffee brand coffee?
	Help out the quartering.
	He needs to sell out these Mother's Day gift boxes.
	Buy mom some coffee today.
	HTTP?
	What the hell is that?
	CBC?
	Which I guess stands for coffee brand company, mothersday.com.
	I'm sorry, I cannot read that out because I have a sponsorship with 1775 Coffee.
	I'm joking.
	Well, first, I'm not joking.
	But I read the rumble rant.
	And yes, the quartering is...
	First of all, thank the quartering for the raid.
	Thank you, Jeremy.
	Everyone should watch the quartering.
	He's awesome.
	Everyone should now go watch Mario for the North on the Twitterverse.
	But let me get all of these before I fall too far behind.
	Encryptus, who is the man behind...
	The audio occasionally pops in and you hear the voice of a spirit.
	Says, Encryptus, it was more locked down in Greece.
	We had 1.5 years, then another six months after a couple of months open, and we had to text the police to leave the house for up to an hour a day, up to a kilometer away.
	Holy hell.
	They would check your papers at the checkpoints, yeah.
	You had it easy on the Canada, yeah.
	Encryptus also says, then when they opened up, they made it illegal to go to the store without being vaxxed.
	And having the government app to prove it, with bouncers at all stores everywhere, again, you had it easy.
	You know what I would say to that?
	I would say, show me the papers here, and get outfits to show them to me.
	King of Biltong.
	I can't bring it up because I didn't open up the app and rumble to...
	See it through Rumble, but I can see it through Rumble Studio.
	Try our Biltong, almost 50% protein, packed with B12 creatine, iron, zinc, and much more.

	He also has a channel called Eat at Anton on Rumble.
	Garvin says mainstream media is the mouthpiece of Satan, who is the father of lies.
	And if you watched the Jordan Peterson James Lindsay interview, you would also know that Satan wakes up in the morning, which is why people are woke.
	I'm bastardizing the part of that clip that was funny.
	Garvin, Encryptus MCA, make Canada American.
	Well, you could have said make Canada America.
	That's Encryptus people saying that, not me.
	Neurodivergence says, oh, I got that one already.
	And King Z Oliver.
	Kinsey Oliver is here.
	Approve of this guy.
	Maybe he should run for office in the future.
	I might give him a boost.
	Damn it.
	That was one question I absolutely should have asked him.
	So stupid.
	And now we know that you can run for any office.
	You can run for prime minister without having been born in Canada.
	They do not have the same requirement of birthright or naturalized birth as in America to become the prime minister, the president of the country.
	People, hold on.
	I didn't get to all the clips.
	of Mark J. Carney.
	So for those of you who don't know, Mark J. Carney met with Donald Trump today and it was an exercise in bending the knee and kissing the ring and I played the intro clip which was Mark Carney basically praising what a transformational President Donald John Trump has been for America and for Americans.
	And you're going to tell me that if Pierre Pauliev had undertaken and vowed to be that transformational prime minister for Canada and Canadians, he wouldn't have won.
	Horse crap, I tell you.
	BD says I. A couple of other highlights from that interview or that meeting, which were great.
	Was this the one?
	Look at Carney's face.
	Which one was this?
	But thank you for your hospitality.
	And above all, for your leadership.
	Transformational president.
	Focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker.
	Securing your borders.
	Play this one at the beginning.
	Get this one out of here, people.
	We already saw this one.
	Let me see that one again.
	The other one that I wanted to bring up was the one that I brought up, which I can't seem to find right now.
	Where the heck are all the other clips that I brought up of him?
	I had them in the backdrop.
	That's what I was doing.
	Great.
	I'll have to go here now.
	I'll have to go to my Twitter feed here.
	Well, let's go to the Danielle Smith one.
	That'll be the way we start on this.
	Danielle Smith.
	Watch Danielle Smith talk about Alberta.
	I like Danielle Smith.
	She might be the next Prime Minister of Canada.
	Or the next President of Alberta.
	Or I should say the next Governor of Alberta.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	The Federal Government must provide to Alberta...
	Stop.
	Actually, let me just stop right now.
	If I were her advisors.
	Clenched fists on a table.
	Kind of looks Joe Biden-ish.
	Flat hands.
	Maybe one down.
	Justy Meiner.
	It looks a little less tense.
	You will listen to Alberta's demands.
	Let's hear the substance of it now.
	The federal government must provide to Alberta the same per capita federal transfers and equalization as is received by the other three largest provinces.
	Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia.
	We have no issue with Alberta continuing to subsidize smaller provinces with their needs.
	But there is no excuse for such large and powerful economies like Ontario, Quebec, BC, or Alberta to be subsidizing one another.
	Not just that, the natural resources that Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia have are sufficient.
	Quebec hydro is not factored into the equalization payments.
	So just understand how unique a province Quebec is.
	That was never the intent of equalization.
	And it needs to end.
	I like Danielle Smith.
	I like her.
	All right, now, the other thing that I was going to do is going to go home and we're just going to go like this.
	The videos that show.
	It was, this one was one that we, how did I heart my own tweet?
	Then the other clip was this one right here.
	I love this one.
	You want to, you know, I joked about how he tapped him on the knee and let him know who the big dog in the house was.
	Listen to them talk about.
	Whether or not there's anything that Mark Carney could say to Trump in their meetings today that would get Trump to lift the tariff.
	I wanted to do like the...
	The sunglasses coming over his eyes and the little doobie going in his mouth, but I can't do that.
	I didn't have enough time to work that.
	Is there anything he could say to you in the course of your meetings with him today that would get you to lift tariffs on Canada?
	Stop.
	Look at Carney's face.
	Is there anything he...
	Is there anything he can say to you in the course of your meetings with him today that gets you to lift tariffs on Canada?
	No.
	Just the way it is.
	Is there anything he can say to you?
	Why?
	Just the way it is.
	Why can't I find the window now to bring this?
	Nope.
	No.
	Why not?
	Just the way it is.
	Look at Cardi squirming.
	That's awesome.
	Could it get any better?
	Nope.
	Why not?
	Because I said so.
	Oh, but I love his face.
	He's wincing.
	Is there anything he can say to you?
	Right now.
	I'm right here.
	They may as well call him governor.
	Okay, so that was one of them.
	And then the other one was shortly before that.
	Watch Mark J. Carney squirm.
	There was a longer clip to this.
	This was Trump talking about how he doesn't need Canada.
	And this is kind of what I was saying also throughout the election.
	These are asymmetrical.
	Countries, asymmetrical GDPs, asymmetrical economies, asymmetrical militaries, asymmetrical reliance.
	You need to know how to negotiate from a position of weakness.
	You can't come out like a Pierre Poilievre and say, we're going to fight, fight, fight.
	By the way, that's exactly what Carney said, and now he's going to bend, bend, bend the knee, knee, knee.
	Listen to this one.
	Well, we don't do much business with Canada from our standpoint.
	They do a lot of business with us.
	We're at like 4%.
	Encrypt us.
	His eye is actually twitching.
	His left eye is like he's having a meltdown.
	Look at this.
	He's also leaning backwards during this entire thing.
	He looks like he's going to pass gas or he's having a bowel obstruction.
	Trust me, I know about that.
	Look at his left eye.
	Look at this eye right here.
	It's blinking like a Katy Perry blink.
	Well, we don't do much business with Canada from our standpoint.
	They do a lot of business with us.
	We're at like 4%.
	And usually those things don't last very long.
	You know, we have great things, great product.
	The kind of product we sell, nobody else can sell, including military.
	Look, we make the best military equipment in the world.
	And Canada buys our military equipment, which we appreciate.
	But we make the best military equipment in the world by far.
	The missiles, the submarines, everything.
	Everything we have is really top notch.
	I rebuilt our military during our last term.
	Stupidly, we gave some away to Afghanistan, which shouldn't have happened.
	I think it was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
	It was.
	It was just very incompetent people.
	What's amazing here is that you have Trump legitimizing Carney.
	You have Carney legitimizing Trump to all of Canada.
	But there's no waking them up with a gentle, hey Canada, you've been kind of hoodwinked.
	Remember that whole thing that Carney was saying about fighting Trump and on the first day in his office and yada, yada, yada?
	Carney comes out and basically kisses his ass.
	I mean, forget the ring.
	The ring would have been a nice thing.
	He came out and kissed Trump's ass after having dumped on Trump throughout the election to get himself elected.
	And now the brainwashed sheeple of Canada are going to say, Well, he got elected now, and this is what he's got to do is good diplomacy.
	Whatever, it's motivated reasoning.
	It's arguing towards conclusions and not from them.
	Whatever Carney does to the liberals who are duped into voting for him is going to be good.
	The problem is, it almost feels like Carney is being more right of center than Pierre was trying to be for the Conservatives.
	Anyhow.
	That's what's going on in Canada.
	Encryptus, before we get into the other stuff...
	Oh, I forgot to tell everybody.
	Subscribe.
	Make sure that you have notifications turned on.
	Go to Amazon, the devil tool there, and get Louis the Lobster Returns to the Sea.
	Encryptus, what do you think of the discussion with Mario?
	I think he's a good guy.
	I'm actually happily surprised.
	Now, I don't fully agree with him on all of his points, but I like being able to have a civil discussion with someone that you disagree with on some things and you find common ground.
	I think that it was a great addition and I'd like to see him back again.
	The thing is this.
	The disagreement, I don't care about the mean tweets.
	As far as I'm concerned, his logic was fundamentally flawed in the comparison to Maxime Bernier.
	And I think that ultimately, it's not to...
	Be an ideological bully.
	I think he recognizes, by and large, that mistakes were made in the heat of the moment.
	Nobody wants to say it because it looks disloyal to your campaign or to your party.
	But no, I knew the guy wasn't totally crazy.
	I've seen a couple of his videos.
	He's very soft-spoken, mild-mannered.
	And I think the thing about Twitter, and I say this out of self-defense for my own tweets, if you read them as in a fuck-off and not a fuck-off, then things make a lot more sense.
	Kingsley Oliver says, sorry for the miscommunication.
	I meant that you, not the other guy, should run for office.
	When I make more money, I can donate.
	I donated to Meghan Murphy.
	Shout her out.
	Meghan Murphy, I had her on, who had her bank account frozen.
	The reality is, Kingsley Oliver, I don't think Canada's ready for me.
	Also, I can go back and...
	Let me go.
	Let me go.
	Encryptus, could you find my Elizabeth May tweet where I refer to her as retarded and or drunk and a terrorist sympathizer?
	Like, how can I ever run for prime minister when I know that they're going to take out those tweets?
	The thing I said to Keir Starmer about redcoat genitalia.
	Let me know.
	I'll bring it up.
	Or you can bring it up.
	I don't think...
	Mr. Viva Frye, or David Frye, you're running for Prime Minister.
	Did you or did you not refer to Elizabeth May, the leader of the Green Party, who might be crossing the aisle?
	Did you refer to her as a retard?
	Technically, I said she was retarded, but then I backtracked a little bit and said she might just also be a raging drunk.
	One thing's for certain.
	She's a terrorist sympathizer.
	We'll get to that in the tweet.
	Mario's a good guy.
	I dropped the second one in your DMs.
	I'm grabbing the first one now.
	In my DMs?
	That is direct messages on the DMs.
	Oh, in Twitter.
	I'm an idiot.
	I was going to text messages.
	Here, DMs.
	Let's see the share to post.
	Hey, Elizabeth, may I call?
	That was the one.
	That's the one.
	Yes, Encryptus.
	Let me bring it up.
	It's a work of comedic genius.
	So if I can't become Prime Minister, maybe I'll go into stand-up comedy.
	Hi, Elizabeth May.
	I called you a retard earlier tonight.
	I apologize.
	That was premature of me.
	People corrected me and said that you're not retarded, you're just a drunk.
	Others corrected them and said you're not a drunk, you're just retarded.
	Others corrected both of them and said you are both retarded and drunk.
	Then someone sent me this video where you seem to give a shout-out to Omar Khadr.
	Can you please confirm if you are retarded?
	A drunk, a terrorist sympathizer, and or a toxic combination of all three?
	Sincere question.
	It wasn't a sincere question.
	Thank you very much.
	To my internet community, please share and tag Elizabeth May just so that we get an answer.
	I'm genuinely curious, unless she's too retarded, drunk, and sympathizing with terrorists to be able to reply or to a tweet right now.
	I would understand that.
	This is real life, by the way, and I know I've played it before, but it's well worth playing again.
	Let's move on to the press gallery dinner last night.
	Glenn, Rosie, thank you for making it in this morning.
	Omar Cotter was the 15-year-old who, you know, was fighting the Americans and killed, threw a grenade back and killed an American soldier, was detained in Guantanamo.
	Confirmed terrorist if you think that a 15-year-old can become a terrorist, but here.
	Rosie, before we get, I know it was generally a funny affair, but before we get to that, there was a strange moment with the Green Party leader Elizabeth May, right?
	Yeah, and I flagged it to everybody because it was the weird moment of the night, and there sometimes is one, and it's also the moment where the mood sort of just went, pfft.
	I don't, you know, it's hard to do speeches at these events.
	So here it is.
	Here's the moment Rosie's talking about.
	Omar Khadri, you've got more class than the whole cabinet.
	Thank you.
	Can you imagine, we live in a world...
	Where I would be a liability to politics because of my tweets, but this woman gets up and says, I don't think you're right.
	I actually think that you would do quite well because of your tweets.
	I think that people looking for change, I actually think in this time around, I know you didn't...
	Do as well, especially in your writing a few years ago.
	But 2025 is different.
	And 2026 or whenever the next election is, I actually think that if you chose to do that, I actually think that you'd have a pretty good chance.
	The life of politics is a miserable, filthy, filthy life.
	Oh, Lordy.
	Hold on.
	What was the captioned description of this stream?
	It was elbows up and bend the knee.
	So I've satisfied my contractual obligations to cover the stories that I said I would cover during this.
	What we might do is save a couple either for tomorrow or for the after...
	Well, I'm going to save a couple for the after party on Rumble for sure.
	We need to go at least 10 more minutes because we're going to raid Eric and Mark and they start in 10 minutes.
	Ah, yes.
	Okay, well, I can easily do another story because...
	You know what?
	We're just going to...
	No, we're not going to...
	We should not do it.
	What else was going on?
	Hold on.
	The title for the stream was...
	Elbows Up to Kiss the Ring, Carney Meet with Trump, Live with Mario.
	Okay, so good.
	I covered everything.
	But what was the other one?
	Oh, Ed Martin.
	Ed Martin!
	Oh, sorry.
	Ed Martin.
	We're going to talk about Ed Martin and people snip and clip this section because I don't think people fully appreciate the dire straits that we would be in if the United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, is not confirmed.
	It's Trump's pick.
	Ed Martin, I don't know enough about his history.
	I know we've discussed it on the Sunday night show with Viva and Barnes, Law for the People Sunday Night Law Extravaganza.
	Wildly important it is.
	There was a tweet going around that said that Boesburg could be the district attorney, or what are they calling them?
	Yeah, the top attorney.
	I forget what the title is, but the top attorney of D.C. if Martin is not confirmed.
	That is not accurate.
	Boesburg could appoint the interim, I want to say district attorney, but I think I might be using the wrong term.
	Boesburg could appoint the interim top attorney.
	He couldn't be it himself.
	And then I'm also corrected by the internet that says, well, Bozberg could appoint the interim attorney, but Trump could just relieve them.
	And then, I don't know.
	The bottom line is, it would be very, very risky if the corrupt judicial hack who is trying to carry out a judicial coup in real time against Donald John Trump, the corrupt, I don't know what his first name is, Bozberg, gets to pick an interim attorney.
	Hey guys, what do you think?
	Should I sign up for CNN?
	When they call him controversial, you're going to understand how the propagandist CNN network is talking about what's controversial.
	But CNN reports, controversial pick for top D.C. prosecutor on thin ice as Trump wades into confirmation fight.
	This is May 6th today in This Morning.
	Interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Edward Martin, attends a D.C. Interim, he could only be there for 120 days.
	That time is coming up.
	They've got to vote on him by...
	May 20th.
	And from what I understand, there's a delay between now and Thursday where they have to do something procedural in order to get him up for a vote by May 20th.
	And if it doesn't happen, they can't vote on him.
	And then Boesburg gets to appoint, potentially, the interim.
	The interim D.C. prosecutor.
	The fate of President Donald Trump's controversial nominee to serve as U.S. attorney for the Washington D.C. is in question as the president has been making calls to Republican senators on his behalf, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
	Ed Martin.
	Did not appear on the agenda for the Senate Judiciary Committee's meeting Thursday, a key deadline for him to be confirmed by May 20 when his interim position expires.
	The White House, though, is not throwing in the towel, according to a source familiar with the process.
	A source is vague, familiar with the process is vague, whatever.
	Despite Martin's diminishing odds that his nomination will advance to see a full Senate vote, Trump officials are consulting with legislative advisors on possible next steps to make it move forward.
	It's gotta happen.
	I don't know what numbers you gotta call for your senators to make sure that it happens, but you gotta make it happen.
	The White House Department of Justice have shepherded Martin through what has so far been a turbulent confirmation, including helping him complete mandated disclosure forms and other paperwork.
	But Trump, who calls on Martin's behalf, have not been previously reported, needed to convince a handful of skeptical Republicans who are putting the nomination at risk.
	Okay, so apparently he failed to disclose.
	He failed to disclose nearly 200 media appearances?
	How the hell do you need to disclose something that's public record?
	Okay, forget that aside.
	As CNN previously reported, Martin failed to disclose nearly 200 media appearances, which are entirely public for the world to see, hence called media appearances.
	Fine.
	In his initial disclosure last month, he claimed under oath he did not recall some of his most controversial past statements in response to a series of questions put to him by members.
	Oh, facing a potential collision course, Trump's safety, yada, yada, yada.
	A number of GOP senators have expressed concerns over Martin's past.
	We haven't really gotten into those controversies yet.
	Controversial statements that he doesn't remember saying?
	Mr. Freiheit, do you remember referring to Elizabeth May as a drunken retard?
	Why, yes, I do.
	It was a great late-night tweet, and I was very happy with it.
	Okay.
	A committee vote on Martin's nomination has not yet been scheduled, yada, yada, yada.
	Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee in charge of Martin's nomination, said last week that Republicans needed more time to vet Martin and meet with him.
	A nod to the growing angst behind the scenes.
	How does that make sense?
	That he hasn't already been sufficiently vetted if he's the interim D.C. prosecutor.
	Tom Tillis, Senator.
	From North Carolina, who serves as the Senate Judiciary Committee, told last week he has, quote, serious questions then, quote, of a Martin given his previous comments denigrating police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 7th.
	Oh, Encryptus, if you're able to pull up what those comments are or alleged to have been, I'd like to see what the comments that they say were denigrating actually were, I'm calling bullshit.
	Was it stuff like, how the hell did it happen?
	Was it stuff like they opened up the doors for them?
	Was it stuff like they were grossly ill-prepared and should not have been lobbing concussive grenades and rubber bullets into the crowd?
	Is that denigrating the police?
	Is it accusing that Fanon guy of lying under oath?
	Is that denigrating the police?
	I don't talk about that stuff, he said.
	Well, let's get to the interesting part here.
	Grassley told CNN last week that his panel still had not received the necessary paperwork from the FBI to move forward with Martin's nomination.
	Bullshit.
	However, a committee aide told CNN Monday that all outstanding materials on Martin have now been received, including FBI materials Grassley said he was sitting on.
	Oh, not the sympathizer.
	That's what this is.
	Oh, really?
	Let's see that one.
	Anti-Semitic, according to NPR.
	It's funny.
	Am I an asshole for immediately being skeptical that this man said anything remotely anti-Semitic?
	I think I am a bit of an asshole because I don't believe it.
	This is the important part.
	Trump and his allies have a short window to get Martin over the finish line.
	If Republicans don't confirm him by the 20th, there would be a new process playing out picking a new nominee.
	One option could be...
	U.S. District Judge James Boesberg appointing someone to become D.C.'s top prosecutor.
	Boesberg, a Barack Obama appointee, a corrupt judicial hack who's trying to usurp democracy and the powers of the executive.
	Sorry, that's not in the article because CNN doesn't write news.
	It writes fluff piece whitewashing propaganda.
	Boesberg has presided over a number of high-profile cases challenging Trump policies, drawing the ire of the president and his allies.
	After the story published Monday evening, Trump posted about Martin's confirmation battle on Truth Social Warning.
	Approval is imperative.
	And I agree.
	So, snip it, clip it, share it.
	It has to happen.
	I don't know what has to happen between now and Thursday.
	I don't know if it's too late.
	I'm following the Kalshi market, which now has Boseberg refreshing, trading at 24% odds.
	He was at 74%.
	3% right up until April 30th.
	Then he tanked all the way down to 13% at the lowest, give or take.
	And now he's back up a little bit to 24%.
	So some people got spooked.
	Some people might know he might already be DOA.
	In cryptos, what were the...
	Oh, here we go.
	We got it here.
	NPR.
	Let's see how anti-Semitic...
	Let's see what he said.
	That's just terrible.
	What's his name?
	His name is Ed Martin.
	You know who else?
	Had an ED in his name?
	No.
	Who else had an ER in his name?
	Hitler.
	This is funny, actually.
	Trump nominee gives misleading testimony about ties to alleged, quote, Nazi sympathies.
	The guy on the right kind of looks like Hitler.
	I know he's doing it on purpose, by the way.
	Left U.S. interim attorney district, Ed Martin, during an Anacostia Coordinating Council monthly.
	What the heck does this say?
	On the right, Timothy Hale Cusinelli with a mustache resembling Adolf Hitler's in photos recovered from his cell phone by the Department of Justice.
	Who's the guy on the right?
	Am I stupid for not knowing who this guy is?
	I'm sure they're going to tell us.
	Ed Martin, President Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, is trying to distance himself from a convicted January 6th Capitol rioter known for his racist and anti-submitter.
	rhetoric federal prosecutors have described the man timothy hale as a nazi sympathizer okay but npr's reporting including a direct email exchange with martin and a review of series of podcast interviews he conducted cast out on the accuracy of martin's sworn statement in written answers to the senate judiciary martin now claims he was unaware of hale's past comments until late 2024 i'm not close with him martin said statement that individuals
	I will not support you.
	Sorry.
	However, in an email in September 2024, that's...
	Said he didn't know about it until August.
	In an email September 24, NPR wrote to Martin and made him aware of a laundry list of Hale's prior antisemitic.
	September comes after August, last I checked.
	He was unaware of his past comments until at least August 2024.
	In September, a month later, they write him an email saying, here are his remarks.
	Martin continued to praise Hale as an amazing guy, a great friend, and they appeared at multiple events together.
	Martin and his office did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
	A timeline of the events.
	Ed Martin interviews Cusinelli on his podcast and says he followed so many of the details from Hale Cusinelli trial.
	2024, we just skipped two years, just like that.
	Martin interviews him and discusses the photos of Hale Cusinelli with the Hitler mustache and allegations of anti-Semitism.
	Well, what was that discussion like?
	I'd like to know.
	Martin gives Hale an award at Trump National Golf Club bed minister, referring to him as an extraordinary man and extraordinary leader.
	Who is this Hale Cusinelli guy?
	Not looking up.
	I'm going to look up this guy a little bit afterwards.
	September 11, NPR emails.
	September 24, Martin posts an interview with Hale Cusinelli on his podcast, refers to him as a great friend.
	October, Martin again interviews Hale Cusinelli on his podcast and refers to him as a friend, an amazing guy.
	So I guess when every lawyer refers to him, my friend over there, my friend in opposing counsel, my friends across the aisle, posts a photo of himself with Martin from Trump inauguration, writes, it has been an honor to work with this great man.
	January 2025, Cusinelli posts another photo of himself on social media with Martin.
	March, attends an event together in Naples, Florida.
	April, Martin submits written answers to Semit.
	Curious to know who Cusinelli really is.
	Not who they say he is.
	All right, well, that's Ed Martin, by the way.
	It's an amazing thing, eh?
	Joe Biden, they can eulogize KKK members.
	They can actually have KKK members as close friends.
	They can actually say things like referring to Black America as super predators or mega predators who will beat your mother over the head with a lead pipe and they can get elected president.
	But association with someone who...
	I don't know if Cusinelli is supposed to be comedic in his comments or his...
	I don't know.
	Nobody deliberately...
	Does the Hitler stash with the greasy brush over unironically or non-humorously or non-sarcastically.
	All right.
	And I'm sure the NPR has no dog in this fight because they just got fully defunded by the executive order from Trump.
	I want to say, I'm just going to ask Grok, who is he?
	Cusinelli.
	I don't know if you know if his stuff is serious, not serious.
	Timothy Hale Cusinelli is a former U.S. Army reservist and Navy contractor from Colts Next, New Jersey, who gained notoriety for his involvement in January 6th capital right, convicted on five counts, including felony obstruction for his past actions, where he breached the capital.
	He's born around 1960, served as human resources.
	Where is there any...
	Oh, here we go.
	Investigative service reporting his radical statements against Jewish people, minorities, and women.
	He was known for sporting a Hitler stash at work, making anti-Semitic and racist remarks and expressing a desire for a civil war.
	His phone contained pro-Nazi imagery and racist memes.
	This is where, like, we're post-truth.
	I can't believe any of this report.
	Racist memes?
	If you have a meme of the frog, is that a racist meme?
	Jeez, Louise, if I had...
	Okay, it doesn't matter.
	Are we rating...
	Eric Hunley and Mark Grober's America's Untold Stories.
	What day is it?
	It's Tuesday.
	It's Tuesday.
	No, today's Wednesday.
	No.
	No, no, today's Tuesday.
	It's Wednesday for me.
	I just looked at my calendar to check.
	It's after midnight, so it's Wednesday for me.
	But they are late.
	They're late, but are you sure that they're live today?
	Yeah, it's supposed to be live right now.
	Those sons of...
	I'm on the stream.
	They've got almost 200 people waiting on the stream at the moment.
	Well, trigger the raid and people will go there.
	And let me see here.
	Eric Hunley.
	I'm following him.
	I'm going to text him real quick.
	Live.
	Do they have...
	Hello from Vegas.
	What is the channel?
	America's Untold Stories?
	Yes.
	America's Untold Stories.
	Well, anyways.
	Trigger the raid.
	And we're going to go to...
	Oh, I think they're live now.
	Yeah, refreshing.
	No, no.
	Encrypt is their live.
	Amazing.
	Okay, so go raiding people.
	Let them know from whence he came.
	And be sure to give them a like.
	And above all else, make a joke for Grobear about me.
	I don't know what the joke should be.
	But go.
	Enjoy the day.
