SECTION 14
SHOULD TRUMP MAKE CANADA
THE 51ST STATE?
Version 1 ... February 2025
  • so where's the conversation there is none there is none the closest you get
  • are the statements of Mrs Shin Bal the new leader of Mexico who's got some courage and is
  • pushing back the Canadians folded but not the Mexicans so we'll see but talk
  • about contradictions H I hope I've given you a flavor of some of them a recurring idea

  • 1:48:01
  • Should Trump Make Canada the 51st State?
    •
  • in the conversation at this point is that Trump is the Naughty Boy and as I I
  • think I've brought this up in many of our past conversations because it's impossible to avoid that you
  • are probably the most gifted rhetorician and natural natural thespian since you
  • mentioned leader that I've met in my life and this is something a skill set that both of you the two of you have in
  • common and maybe maybe that's why I see it in them you know it's visible in
  • everyone but yourself yeah that's funny and Victor Davis Hansen enter again as
  • long as we're using theater parlons and we spoke about some of Trump's
  • rhetorical tactics and he I maybe would use maybe he would be okay with the
  • phrase naughty boy but he thinks of Trump's rhetoric as extremely skillful

  • 1:49:02
  • and useful and he appealed to the art of the deal and made cases for why some of
  • these moves you've discussed were extremely useful and I think these are
  • still very topical uh talking points and they're funny and interesting so i'
  • since you've mentioned them I'd like to go through them them one by one first what is the motivation behind or idea
  • behind suggesting that we should make Canada the 51st state why would Trump
  • say that is it useful was it skillful did it produce
  • anything no I don't think so for me I don't see any
  • again I I would be interested in someone like Mr Hansen if he could show me why
  • that is a skillful strategic move I don't see it I see this as Bluster that

  • 1:50:03
  • Mr Trump has discovered that this Bluster is effective and I think there's
  • a psychological reason I think he speaks for an awful lot of people
  • who are frustrated in Americans I'm talking about frustrated bitter
  • angry and yet don't have the time the energy the interest
  • the education to do very much with their anger so they Bluster to you know over
  • one too many beers you know these Canadians they are whatever you know it
  • it normally would it wouldn't be taken as as much but when he
  • blusters it validates their Bluster and that's his function I think
  • that's what he doing he may be aware of I don't know if he's aware of it I might guess this he is you remember early on

  • How Elites Rejected Donald Trump and Created the Man He Became
    •
  • 1:51:06
  • in his career he liked to say I could go out on Fifth Avenue and
  • shoot someone and people would still applaud what I'm doing he he stumbled onto
  • a connection his own life and that of large numbers of people
