I hear all these stories, all these articles, all the Trump voters, they regret what they did back in 2024. I'm here to tell you very few of them regret what they did back in 2024. What are we talking about Trump voters looking back at 2024? We got a new poll out. The poll was conducted this month. What percentage would change their vote to a different candidate? We're talking just 2%. Just 2%. That's not even a wide spot on the road. And then there's this additional 1% who say they would rather not vote. And then you ask, okay, the same question, the Kamala Harris voters. And it turns out the numbers are rather similar. So if there was a repeat, if folks got to be able to redo their vote that they had back in 2024, would the result be any different? I doubt it would be.

Charlie Kirk (10:19)

Angel.com Kirk we have Ezra Levant joining us in the next segment, but I do want to spend some time talking about who might be the worst governor in America. And it's not. It's not Gavin Newsom. He's up there. But this guy is the ultimate Nepo baby. The ultimate. Born on third and thought he hit a triple. He thinks he's gonna run for president. He thinks he's gonna be president. And what he has done to my home, the state of Illinois, is inexcusable. It's unpardonable. What he has done to drive Illinois even further off a cliff is actually remarkable, worth billions of dollars. If he ran for the presidency, he would be like Michael Bloomberg. And of course, I'm talking about nepo baby, J.B. pritzker. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, boy, is he really that big? No, he's bigger than that, actually. He has a waist circumference that is awe inspiring. It really is. You have to think to yourself, you're in public life and there is a drug called Ozembic available, and you don't use it. It's almost. It almost gives you almost get respect for it at some point. You know, some people, they kind of lose some of their gusto when they get really skinny. It's like, you know, did you like bigger Pompeo or skinnier Pompeo? I kind of liked bigger Pompeo, to be honest with you. And I like Mike Pompeo. He's great. And I kind of had a little bit more gravitas, a little bit more pull, but. But this is a whole different level of diameter. So Jamie Pritzker is thinking about running for the presidency. He's thinking about being pushed for the presidency. He's thinking about being carted for the presidency. He's really making a lot of noise. He's rolling right in for the presidency. Boom. Play cut. 220.

J.B. Pritzker (14:14)

Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now.

Ezra Levant (14:36)

These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and.

J.B. Pritzker (14:46)

Microphone that we have.

Ezra Levant (14:47)

We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.

Charlie Kirk (14:53)

So he said, not a moment of peace. I thought he said, because the audio was terrible and they all know that we're obese. That's what I thought he said. I had to look at my transcript, keep myself a little bit more disciplined than that. Come on, you gotta get better audio. J.B. pritzker, you're worth billions of dollars, man. All right, so J.B. pritzker, he calls for mass protests and disruption, comparing the United States under Trump to Nazi Germany. It's a five alarm fire. It's time to step out of your comfort zone and step into your streets. And of course, he never says peacefully. Of course, I, when I visited the state of Illinois a couple weeks ago, we got terrible death threats all the time. JB Pritzker is inciting that someone is gonna get killed. JB Pritzker's language is going to get somebody killed. I pray that I'm wrong. The same way that Steve Scalise almost died of a Democrat shooter many summers ago. Let's play cut264.

J.B. Pritzker (15:51)

The dangers that my family experienced in Ukraine, the dangers that we saw in, in Nazi Germany, especially in the earliest days of Nazi Germany, are the dangers that we need to react to now. If we don't, things will get much, much worse. And so we've got to raise alarm bells to everybody. It's a five alarm fire, everyone. It's time to step out of your comfort zone and step out into the streets and speak up and make your voices heard. Because that's the only thing that we have, that's the power that we have. And we can stop them in their tracks. Because you know what? Republicans in Congress don't want to lose reelection.

Charlie Kirk (16:36)

I could do a whole hour on JB Pritzker. But of course, if you're under Hitler, what are you supposed to do? Oh, you're supposed to murder Hitler. Which, of course, that's why Trump was shot last summer. And they never apologized. They were never sorry. People thought it was great. They almost shot Donald Trump again in the fall. J.B. pritzker is a big fan of boys and female locker rooms. People are leaving Illinois in record numbers. It's a tragedy. But J.B. pritzker believes that he can gyrate his way to the presidency, not run. He can motion. You can't notice when he walks. It's kind of one of the swaying walks. He can roll himself there. Basically his sales point is that I should be the most powerful Democrat because I'm physically the biggest Democrat. Yeah, that'll win back young men. Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. Brand new year, brand new opportunities to change the world for the better. It's easier than you might think. You can save babies by providing ultrasounds with preborn.

Charliekirk.com Preborn Banner we're gonna dive deeper into the Canadian results here with my friend Ezra Levant from Rebel News. Ezra, great to see you. You actually have a glass half full interpretation of the Canadian election results. Tell us about it.

Ezra Levant (18:45)

Thanks. I mean, you got to. If you're a conservative in a left of center country like Canada, you always gotta be looking for the silver lining. And let me tell you what it is. The Conservative Party of Canada, led by Pierre Poliev, got the highest vote count of the Conservative Party in a generation. The last time the Conservatives got this many votes, it was 1988. Trouble is, we have a multi party system. It's not the US style two party system. So Pierre Polyev, the Conservative ran a working class Conservative campaign that focused on things like reducing immigration, reducing inflation, reducing the. You know, it was actually something that I think American Conservatives would like. Trouble is the left wing parties all joined together. So Pierre Poliev got about 41.5%. And you're thinking, well that's terrible because in the two party American system it would be. But believe it or not, that's the highest any politician has got in Canada in 30 years. But the socialist party fell down to 6%. All of it went to the Liberals. The Green Party did a trick. They canceled over 100 of their candidates to stop splitting the vote. So what happened is the Liberal candidate, led by a World Economic Forum board member named Mark Carney, he squeaked past Pierre Poliev and he formed a minority government. What does that mean? He didn't get most of the seats in the Parliament, so he's. There's a chance we'll be going back to the polls sometime this year. It's not a disaster. It feels bad because as recently as four or five months ago, the Conservatives were looking to cruise to victory with the majority. But I'll be candid with you, Charlie, and you know me, I'm the biggest Trump booster in Canada. Donald Trump's heckling and his Banter about the 51st state that spooked some people who had thin skin or didn't understand what to make of it. And I think that probably drove 5 or 10% over to the Liberals. So glass half full is best Conservative results in a long time. The new Conservative Party is very attractive to young people and working class people. The bad news is the Liberals squeak past them. And I hate to say it, it was that Trump banter that hurt some feelings.

Charlie Kirk (21:11)

Yeah. So let's dive deeper into this and examine it. So first, that sounds like it was a French playbook where there was meaning. In France, they did something similar where the Liberal Party's kind of all combined together. I have to imagine, though, it's just a little bit different than American politics. Where was it not? Cost of living and mass migration and cultural cohesion, that was a bigger issue. Was this really a referendum on President Trump externally? I mean, walk us into the elements here.

Ezra Levant (21:45)

Well, there was a generational divide, which was so interesting historically. The Liberal Party gets the young voters. Justin Trudeau won in 2015 in part on his promise to legalize marijuana. Trudeau tried to come across as young and hip and cool, and he got the young vote. This time around, young people really tilted towards the Conservatives for the reasons you say it's tough to find a house you can buy in Canada. Mass immigration has driven down wages and pushed up housing costs. So immigration was the subtle driver of all. Not so subtle driver of all these things. Crime is a huge crime wave in Canada. In many ways, we're now actually more violent than the United States, which has never happened before. And finally, we have big pro Hamas street marches, things that I mean, occasionally you see them in the United States, but they're a weekly thing in Canada. So yes, immigration was at play, but it was a generational thing. Young people feel a little bit hopeless. They can't buy a house, they can barely afford to get ahead. And they see that mass immigration is driving those things. Whereas boomers and seniors, they've already got their home paid off, so they don't care if house prices rise. That's good for them. They don't really pay income taxes because they don't work anymore. And I think that they're oblivious to some of the street battles in Canada over race and ethnicity, diaspora politics. So the boomers and the seniors could afford the luxury political belief of being offended by Donald Trump. Like imagine that is driving your vote for your prime minister, who's gonna push back at Trump's heckles. That is not a serious reason to vote for someone. Cuz like I say, it's a luxury belief. You can only afford if everything else in your life is going right. Young people didn't really care about the Trump tweets, but boomers and seniors, especially liberal minded boomers and seniors, they cared a lot.

Charlie Kirk (23:45)

So it's a luxury belief to be so offended at Trump that you can basically crap on your kid's future. And luxury beliefs are something we talk about a lot on this program. Okay, so you are rather hopeful actually about the future of Canadian politics based on your analysis and your interpretation. Just kind of. Let's take a step back. What does an election look like? Is there a lot of money being spent? How much money was spent on this? Was it campaigning across the country? I know that it was a rather truncated or a rather compressed election season. So educate us on what Canadian elections look like.

Ezra Levant (24:24)

Sure. Canadian elections, there's a five week period where everyone goes full guns. Now obviously everything before that, there's sort of have the campaign in mind, but there's an intensity of those last five weeks. In Canada, the government has nationalized leaders debates. So there was an official government run leaders debate halfway through. And typically people really pay attention to those. But you know, there is a lot of money being spent. Canada's about one tenth the size of the US and we probably had one tenth the size of the budget. But the campaigns have their campaign jets and it's all about IDing your vote and get out the vote. Obviously a lot of the campaigning is digital, so it's very much like an American campaign. In fact, the Liberals typically have campaign advisors from the Democrats. Let me tell you a Quirky thing. Mark Carney and another candidate named Evan Solomon. They're basically run by a globalist lobby group in New York called the Eurasia Group. It's sort of weird how that it's in New York City, but it was sort of running the campaign for the Liberal Party in Canada. Justin Trudeau's former mentor works at the Eurasia Group. And that's where Mark Carney, the Prime Minister, his wife works. Like this little office in New York is basically being the puppet master for Canada. It's a little bit weird. There's a lot of foreign interference in our election. I should mention, in the last election, the Chinese Communist Party was found to be interfering in 11 different districts. This election it was even worse. In fact, one candidate had to step down because he was a Chinese Canadian candidate who said, if you kidnap my opponent and take him to the Chinese consulate, you'll get a million dollar bounty. I know what I said just sounded insane, but he said it three times. And finally he resigned as the candidate to be replaced by by another Chinese Communist Party candidate, a police officer. Chinese Canadian police officer who would attend Chinese Communist Party events in his police uniform, sing communist songs like the hand of China is very apparent in our politics. In fact, our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, you may know that he was the chair of Brookfield Asset Management, which is like a slightly smaller blackrock. He's met with Xi Jinping, he's done huge business deals in China. He took a quarter billion doll loan from China. So we have a real China problem in Canada. There are great, loyal, freedom oriented Chinese Canadians fighting against that. But the Mark Carney government is as pro China as you can get. Let me throw one last thing at you, Charlie. Canadian politicians were sort of heckling back at Donald Trump. I know you didn't hear it because it was for Canadian domestic consumption. It was sort of, can you prove who is the toughest to stand up to Trump? That was a campaign thing to juice the turnout that we talked about, those sensitive boomers and seniors. But last night, after the votes were counted, Mark Carney, the new Liberal Prime Minister, the former World Economic Forum board member, the former chair of Brookfield Asset Management, he takes the stage for his acceptance speech. Campaign's over now. Now he has to think like a Prime minister. He goes extra hard at Donald Trump. He says that Canada and the US Will never have the same relation again. He will reorient Canada. If he gets his way, he will realign us with Communist China. So it wasn't just a campaign trick. It Wasn't just a way. His anti Americanism wasn't just a tactic. He deeply believes in him. This guy is the ultimate globalist. I think I told you before his three passports, he has a home in the United Kingdom, a home in New York City. I don't think he's actually been back in Canada for more than a few weeks. I flew to the Isle of Man two weeks ago because he had set up a shell company with a strawman director there. I don't even know what country he pays his taxes in. We are dealing with someone who truly is the World Economic Forum.

Charlie Kirk (28:50)

But I mean just, just really personified and it's just. I have the 30 seconds. We'll pick it up after the break. Though all that is true, then how was the Canadian polity so bamboozled by this guy? Is it because you don't have free speech and you don't have alternative media to be able to get this message out?

Ezra Levant (29:11)

There's some anti Americanism in Canada. Our media is so concentrated it would be as if PBS was larger than all other media combined. That's our CBC state broadcaster. And I say again, despite all that, Pierre Poliev did exceedingly well. It just wasn't good enough given the France style trick you mentioned where they all unified behind the lefty. It was close though. The Liberal only beat the conservative by 2%. So don't write us off yet, Charlie. That's why I'm not gloomy. Glass half full. I think Poliev will win it within the next year and we'll be smiling again.

Charlie Kirk (29:49)

Many clients aren't even able to make a minimum monthly payment on their private student loans. Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion. Well, they provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay. Let's face it, if you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, nobody is coming to bail you out. Call 888 yrefi34. Log on to yrefi.com that is yrefy.com may not be available in all 50 states. Go to yrefi.com do you have a co borrower? Yrefi can get them released from the loan. You can give mom or dad a break. Go to yrefi.com that is yre f y.com yrefi.com so Ezra, I know I mentioned this previously, but I want to reiterate it. Can you talk and speak to the importance of what you wish you had as far as alternative media and free speech? What if Canada had the so Canada's like the size of California. So just in California, imagine if you had free media, open media, alternative media influencers, and laws that allow you to do those things. What would Canada look like?

Ezra Levant (30:57)

It would be completely different. We are constantly fighting for even basic freedom of speech and freedom of the press. And it is a very costly battle because we do not have the First Amendment. We have something that's sort of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy version of the First Amendment, but it's subject to so many limitations, we rely on it to fight back all the time. I mentioned earlier that there's a leaders debate that the government runs here that's weird in itself. But why would Trudeau nationalize debates? The answer is to choose who gets to attend, including journalists. Twice Rebel News was banned from attending simply because it didn't like our conservative tilt. Twice we managed to go to the federal court and get a court order allowing us in. So the freedom of speech is there enough that occasionally we can win. But we're always running to the courts because there's a political culture that doesn't value free speech anymore. We have things called the Human Rights Commissions, which are nothing of the sort. They basically weaponize any complaints that you're making mean tweets. Justin Trudeau introduced a terrifying bill called C63, the online harms act, that would have made it literally against the law to hurt people's feelings. And truth is not a defense. Fair comment is not a defense. Religious conviction is not a defense. That bill was sort of evaporated by the election, but I believe Mark Carney is going to reintroduce it. Let me tell you, freedom of speech is the most important freedom, because with it, you can fight to recover all the others. It's a little bit tough sometimes, free speech, because you have to give it to your opponent if you want it for yourself. So you really have to love it, because we all don't like what our critics say. But in Canada, they're snuffing out free speech. Last point, Charlie. It's not just that they have a stick to beat people they don't like. They have a huge carrot for the journalists they do like they have colonized the media I mentioned. What would it look like if PBS was larger than all media combined? That's what Canada is like. We have a state broadcaster here that has a larger staff than all private media combined. Imagine how that distorts the debate. And whatever private media that there is now gets about a $30,000 per journalist, yearly subsidy from the government. So they're all pulling for Team Mark Carney. There's really only a handful of independent journalists left. So they. I think in Canada, soon there'll only be government funded journalists or government banned journalists. It is not a healthy state of affairs. Elon Musk, frankly, is the most consequential man in politics because he has strengthened our freedom of speech. And thank God Donald Trump won because he's fixing the censorship problem in social media, which benefits us up here in Canada. If Trump did not win, Rebel News would be out of business because Twitter and the free speech that's now seeping back into social media would be gone.

Charlie Kirk (34:05)

In closing here, are you guys gonna give up? Is now this? Hey, you know, the Liberals won. What is the battle cry for the Canadian Patriot? Cuz I just have such respect for you guys because even though that, you know, people in California say, charlie, it's so bad here. I said, no, no, no. Go to Ontario, go to Toronto, go to Ottawa. Are you gonna give up? One minute remaining, Ezra.

Ezra Levant (34:27)

No. I love this as my home. I mean, for generations my family been here. This is my country. I'm not gonna give it up without a fight. We fought during the COVID lockdowns, which were extreme up here. Remember the Canadian truckers, they came and they broke the fever and they set an example for the world. And remember, no politicians supported them. They didn't have a big super PAC behind them. It was grassroots people saying, enough is enough. That inspires me, those truckers. So we're going to keep fighting. And again, I'm a glass half full guy. The Conservative leader of Canada got the highest vote that his party has received in a generation. I think that he'll break through next time. He's got a conservative working class coalition, including young people. It's pretty unique around the world. I think it can win. And. And I would just say to our American friends, don't give up on us. Don't annex us. You don't need to. You already have a free trade agreement that'll give you all the oil and gas and minerals you can buy. So you don't need to annex us. That's spooked Canadians. That's frankly a reason why the Liberals eked out a win. But let's get back to being best friends. You can be Batman and we'll be Robin. We're the junior partner in the friendship. But let's be best friends again, is what I have to say.

Charlie Kirk (35:38)

Ezra. God bless you, my friend. Hope to see you soon. It's a depressing picture from my view, but your optimism and positivity is remarkable and noteworthy. Thank you.

Ezra Levant (35:48)

Thanks Charlie.

Charlie Kirk (35:50)

I just love that. Amazing. What's the best thing about being surrounded? I guess you could metaphorically shoot in any direction. Thanks so much for listening everybody. Email us as always, freedomarliekirk.com thanks so much for listening and God bless.
