Chapter 1: How are world leaders responding to Trump's policies?

0.069 - 22.013 Ben Meiselas

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leading Canada like a wartime president against Donald Trump's reckless and dangerous threats. Prime Minister Trudeau continued to talk about how sovereignty is not on the table. In no way will Canada ever bow down to Donald Trump. Here, play this clip.

22.553 - 29.054 Interviewer

You previously said that it's a real thing that Trump wants to annex Canada. How serious or urgent would you classify that threat?

0

30.384 - 47.571 Canadian Official

Let's be very clear. Conversations around a 51st state are a non-starter. It's never going to happen. But we have to take seriously what the President is saying and fold that into our thinking as we continue to stand up for Canada.

0

48.507 - 68.567 Ben Meiselas

Powerful words right there. And we know there is a massive boycott underway in Canada, boycotting all American tourism, boycotting all American products and goods. It is a scarlet letter unless you're absolutely forced to in Canada. to buy anything America or to travel to America.

68.607 - 81.078 Ben Meiselas

Let's go to France, where there you have French President Macron slamming Donald Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse, let's just call it what it is, Gaza. Here, watch this.

81.519 - 106.258 Emmanuel Macron

Today, humanitarian situation. So we have the ceasefire, we have to preserve it, we have to restore humanitarian operations, and we have to save maximum number of people. But now the right answer is not a real estate operation. This is a political operation. Just because this is not a free land, this is a place where two million people live and want to live.

107.219 - 134.145 Emmanuel Macron

And just because international rights and a lot of treaties and agreements were negotiated, and even the US did recognize these rights. So you cannot say to 2 million people, okay, now, guess what? You will move. The whole story of humanity is made of tiny part of places where even less than 2 million people were ready to go till the end because they wanted just to stay. So I think we have to...

135.714 - 165.494 Emmanuel Macron

to stick to our principles. Sometimes in this world, you have the feeling to be so old-fashioned when you speak about principles. But I will tell you, this is humanity. And the civilization is a process. And the process of the civilization is that you learn generation after generation. And this is how you improve yourself. And we did learn.

167.509 - 196.155 Emmanuel Macron

that you can get rid of people and just push them out of their place when they have a legitimate right to live in their place, being recognized by everybody. So I think we have to respect the willingness of Palestinian people to have a state. And we have to respect Jordan, Egypt, these sovereign countries, because they want their security, they want to keep their borders.

Chapter 2: What is Canada's stance on Trump's annexation threats?

423.829 - 448.844 Ed Davey

Eighty years ago this week, the Allies began a pincer movement against German forces between the Ruhr and the Rhine. British and Canadian troops attacked from the north, Americans from the south. British, Canadian and American soldiers fighting shoulder to shoulder to defeat fascists. Eighty years on, President Trump seems to have forgotten all this.

450.205 - 477.431 Ed Davey

His tariffs against steel and aluminium will hit Canada the hardest and will also hit jobs and the cost of living in our country. So in reminding President Trump, who America's true and long-standing friends and allies really are, will the Prime Minister also prepare a plan for tariffs in return, starting with tariffs on American electric cars?

0

478.231 - 496.504 Ben Meiselas

I got to follow Ed Davey a little bit more now. He's reminding me a lot there of Charlie Angus, member of parliament in Canada. And I think we need the Anguses. We need the Davey. We need this type of energy right now internationally. Let's go back to French President Macron.

496.844 - 506.711 Ben Meiselas

Here he is taking a swipe at Donald Trump at an AI summit in Paris while calling on attendees to choose Europe for their business needs. Play this clip.

90.

513.055 - 543.489 Emmanuel Macron

Which means we can localize a lot of data centers on top of what we need in terms of electricity for our own companies, our own households. So it's very important. In this world where I have a good friend in the other part of the ocean saying, drill, baby, drill. Here, there is no need to drill. It's just plug, baby plug. Electricity is available. You can plug, it's ready.

545.64 - 567.211 Ben Meiselas

Folks, some interesting data coming out of Canada as well. It was previously projected in the polls that the Conservative Party was going to win if there was the snap elections. But now it seems that Liberals are projected to win a majority if Mark Carney is named the party leader. In addition to Carney, there's a deep bench.

567.611 - 590.825 Ben Meiselas

There's an energy around the Liberal Party right now, I think, as Prime Minister Trudeau is also leading as a wartime president and passing on the baton. In addition to Mark Carney, who was a leader of a bank, he's got incredible CEO bona fides. You also have Chrystia Freeland. Let me just show you how they are reaching out to the people in Canada. It is wonderful.

591.585 - 603.227 Ben Meiselas

rallying people against Trump and against American fascism. So Christie, if Freeland's running for the prime ministership and become the leader of the liberal party, here's what Freeland has to say. Here, play this clip.
