The MeidasTouch Podcast — Canada Just Went There…. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Canada just went there dropping the hammer even more the Trump regime threatens more tariffs and prime minister Carney and the United premieres of Canada said we don't care we're in a trade war we're gonna win elbows up Gloves down over the boards. Let's go. Let's do it. Let me show you what premier Wob canoe of Manitoba had to say yep he went there here play this clip release the Epstein files Donald Trump is Jeffrey Epstein's best friend the reason why we're at war in Iran and everyone's paying higher gas prices is because of the Epstein files. Told you he went there more from premier Wob canoe of Manitoba here's what he had to say play this clip when it comes to Trump himself I think part of what gives him his power is people pay attention when he does all these different erratic moves So I think we're at the stage where yeah, just kind of don't feed the beast and just starve him of intention a little bit
But there is a substantive trade dispute that needs to get addressed and I think right now we just need to Recognize that America's gonna be there long after Donald Trump leaves office So let's figure out a way to establish concrete relationships with reasonable actors who will presumably take the helm once he's done and let's put the pieces in place to try and get Our economy prepared to whether whether it's the next few months or whether it's the next two years plus Then you had the very whiny loser behavior Of james in Greer the US trade representative you all know a james and Greer in your life right whiny pathetic loser behavior over here and he's like I think this trade war's not even a big deal I think Canada is unhinged for taking this so seriously
It's not even a big situation. Do you see how they're panicking over there in the Trump regime? Listen to this whiny grow-task vile thing james and Greer right james and Greer here play this clip I mean prime minister carne used the term war. It's not a word we use right We don't we don't talk about it that way for us. It's business. It's economics And by the way the tariffs we put in place whenever was 10 days ago seven days ago It only covers 5% of imports from Canada. It's like a rounding error And so to kind of have it whipped up into this giant thing where we're talking about war and economic tax and all these things It's it's a little unhinged Yeah, and james and Greer sat with the financial times and he says it's absolutely unhinged for Canada to call the dispute with the US A trade war. This isn't a trade war It's the Canadians that came out and said this is a war We're just putting additional fees on them. Why are they taking this so seriously?
And then he says the fact that we are issuing further tariffs against canola He knows it's a natural consequence of Canada's retaliation They should do nothing. They should just sit back and take it. This is what he says in a news release issued late Tuesday Greer called the measures a natural consequence of Canada's trade tactics Canada chose to embark on senseless retaliation against the United States So thus we must make them pay more on Greer in a moment But let me show you Tim Hodgian the minister of energy. Here's what he had to say play this clip We are in a trade war a trade war that we did not ask for But that we must win Yeah, you damn right. It's a trade war. Not only is it a trade where I think saying trade war is putting it lightly My view Donald Trump has declared an actual war on canola when you use 51st state language when you start
promoting separatist groups and secession when you start talking about Invading the country as Trump and his regime have that's war language that goes beyond trade war That's what Charlie hangus says that's what he talks about on might as canola Take a listen to what the finance minister had to say right here of canola He goes you know what I there's a lot of issues But this is a golden opportunity in front of us the world is changing America is changing canola is getting stronger America is getting more isolated in this new multilateral world Canada has a bigger and bigger role as the US gets weaker and he's right here play this clip My key message is that I see a golden opportunity in front of us The world is changing America is changing The world energy architecture is changing and in that new world obviously In the words of the international energy agency Canada can be at the center why because we provide stability predictability and trust listen to what former conservative leader
Erin O tool had to say here as well play this clip that this sort of very insulting Language and memes, you know, and the offensive things that are being said about canada and our leaders Our sovereignty and and you name it. I mean it's really high school, you know You know stuff if not elementary school stuff You know, and I just wonder what do you think is going on there? You know it aches me to my core Todd, you know when I was the minister of veterans affairs and the Harper government I went and spoke in congress about Canadians fighting and dying together world war two and the devils brigade They were honored by the Americans and now we have the secretary of war Polking fun at our cadet program and really trolling uh In a way that's juvenile and beneath the office I agreed completely with with what prime minister karnie said What I think Canadians have to do is to say we are going to continue to approach this with with good faith with professionalism
We're not going to engage in these sort of antics We have to bite our tongue at times, but I think if we if we stand together and we drive for a fair bargain I think we will get there But let's not resort to the to the high school name calling as you said more from the finance minister um talking about we know that we're going to be the masters of our own destiny play this clip You saw me when I announced the countermeasures and I know the question you asked who started that listen We didn't start that we respond We don't want to escalate, but we know how to respond And we know how to protect and we know what matters and we know when to stand up And we know that we're going to be master of our own destiny And we know that no one will allow no one to infringe on our economic sovereignty This was Canada when we were founded and that's Canada today We recently got a mid-century modern coffee table from article and this is one of those pieces where you Immediately notice the quality when it shows up.

He was the other day on state regime media fox And you see what like why you can't speak with these Trump regime officials It was Warren Buffett who said you can never do a good deal with bad people and the Trump regime Warren Buffett didn't say this I'm saying are the worst scumbag people they cover up child sex trafficking rings they cover up the Epstein files They're disgusting So here you got James and Greer on Fox saying oh canada now wants to have all of these free trade agreements With India and Europe they're doubling down on globalization and we want to make sure the north is the north america's protected That's why we won't do a deal with canada unless we get to approve of the deals that canada does This was the whole point one of the big things that the Trump regime tried to inject last minute in their discussions with canada
Is that the Trump regime wants in a veto over canada's free trade deals with other countries So of course prime minister carney who by the way now has approval ratings at 70% says no We're not going to give you veto rights. We're a sovereign country. What the hell are you talking about? I mean because here's the thing you got to realize about the Trump regime They're predators right? I mean they're led by a sexual abuser Someone who's been found liable for sexual assault in a court someone who brags On audio tape that he sexually assaults women because he's rich and he says when you're rich You sexually assault women you get away with it then he says that's locker room talk He said he used his beauty pageants to go in and inspect the girls naked He's on audio saying these things. He's a sexual predator. He's an actual predator So his whole view about everything is I'm gonna dominate you. I'm gonna. I'm gonna do to ven as well That's what I'm gonna do to you. He's a sicko Listen to what James and Greer says he says it out loud
Canada wants to have free trade agreements. Uh-uh. We need to approve it Hello Kuzma Canada U.S. Mexico agreement That was the agreement that you had with Canada and Mexico you idiot here play this clip Canada's approach is different Canada is doubling down on globalization Canada wants to have a bunch of free trade agreements with Europe You know with India with all these other places and they can do that right there their own country And if that's what they want to do that's fine But we want to make sure that North America is protected We want to make sure that if something's coming in from Canada and it's getting a great deal That it's truly Canadian So when they go to to China and they say listen we're gonna let in Chinese autos and we're going to invite Chinese auto investment into Canada That's inconsistent with U.S. trade policy and again if Canada wants to do that That's their right, but it doesn't mean that we have to go along with it by the way You're the trade representative Literally what you're supposed to do is do trade agreements nationwide not do you're not the anti trade representative
But it is interesting right as you go through each Trump cabinet official They do the thing to destroy their cabinet when you think about it right I mean hegs it as defense secretary He turns it into a war and then loses all of the wars right the health secretary are of cage junior hates health The guy loves spreading diseases and there's diseases spreading everywhere Education secretary hates education. I mean the energy secretary doesn't understand the way energy work I could go through each person in the Trump regime They're each more horrible than the next it's ridiculous. It's awful Gotta always do show you which are the angus had to say you can't do a video without angus Here's what he has to say let's play it Well man, I think the thing that's really maybe The good element here is that again things it took years And we're very stuck on detail That's all getting blown out of the water. So yeah, we negotiated with the Europeans. I mean it is it's a it's a it's a it's a nightmare in terms of Regulatory issues that they're they focus on but they are a major global like trading block economy
It's super important for us to be there I think what the Europeans are realizing with the United States no longer trustworthy They need allies too. So we're sort of blowing past throwing the paperwork out the window and saying okay Shake a hand. How do we sit down? How do we negotiate? How do we start trading critical minerals? How do you guys start giving us submarine technology? How do we work together in the Arctic? This is happening at a very accelerated rate and it's it's going to make Canada It's going to change our position in the world that already has but again Who is the United States looking to like they come out and they destroyed 80 years of relationships in Europe Is supporting extremist parties supporting what Javier and Argentina supporting the North Korean government and continuing to Kiss the boots of Vladimir Putin at every possible opportunity. I mean How is that going to make America stronger? Is this Donald Trump's just nihilistic death wish of destroying the United States as a way?
World power and he's doing a damn good job my question is is why is Why is this being allowed to happen? Where are the boys to speaking up? Where is the interventions in the United States to stop this destruction that's going on because again We're watching the Empire crumble on our border We see that the level of threat and men is coming from Donald Trump towards us their next-door neighbors And we're thinking we've got to be ready for whatever happens and right now Canadians are more than ready for whatever is going to come and then here's R&C chair Joe Grooters Here's the deranged comments that he made yesterday. Let's play this clip of Joe Grooters So you can hear it for yourself. I hear you on the war on prices the president Is in the middle of this trade dispute trade battle trade war whatever you want to call it with Canada Republicans are going to need Susan Collins in Maine. You know this Joe If you want to keep the Senate and here's what she's saying about these new Canadian tariffs
There's no one who has been more Vocal than I have against the Canadian tariffs. I voted against them on the center floor President says they're good. She says no one has been more vocal and against them than me Should she continue to be vocal and against them if it helps her win in Maine? Listen DC and lead us have been selling the American worker down a river for five decades This president's gone to bat for the American workers and stay one and what people have to know and hopefully what we'll be able to explain to A bit of this convention is that these trade deals Canada has been has been doing one over on us. So should Susan Collins should Susan Collins tone down what she's saying then Listen, I think Susan Collins will aware of what she's saying I think she knows her district but the other day this is for the greater good for American workers This we're not asking for any type of advantage. We're just telling Canada be fair
What you charges what we're going to charge? We're not going to let you bend this over for you know over and over again For the next 50 years the American worker has to be protected We're going to go to bat for him this president gets it and he's all about making sure that everybody has that Captain American dream. I love Susan Collins, but she's wrong on this one I mean some real sickos right there. Well, Canada we stand in solidarity with you here at the Midas touch network And I hope you do know that there are millions of Americans There are more of us than there are of MAGA who actually stand in solidarity with you against our own government We don't support the Trump regime. We support Canada over the Trump regime We know this is a regime of sexual predators and deviance and vile pieces of trash Keep standing up to this disgusting Trump regime We'll do our part to fight here from within, but we don't like this We don't support this and we're going to speak out loudly for you You know fighting if we want to fight with you against this Trump regime these evil people these scumbags
