TDS’ Lydic: Welcome to the U.S., Canada, You’re Paying for Healthcare Now

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Desi: when Donald Trump won in November, it was largely on the promise of improving the everyday lives of American people — from fixing inflation after it was already fixed to fighting the nationwide crime wave that he made up. And today, in a press conference from Mar-a-Lago, Trump announced one of those common sense kitchen table policies that Americans have been waiting for. No
>> We’re going to be changing the name of the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America.
>> Desi: yeah, let’s do that. Why the hell not! We’ve been so concerned about all the scary things Trump’s going to do, we forgot he’s also going to do some really stupid things! I guess “gulf of America” does have a ring to it. As in, “there was another horrific oil spill in the gulf of America!” But okay, fine, let’s rename the gulf, I guess. Now let’s focus on the price of eggs!
>> Donald Trump urging America’s northern neighbor to, quote, merge with the U.S., saying many people in Canada love being the 51st state.
>> Canada and the United States, that would be really something. You get rid of the artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like.
>> Desi: what? That would go all the way from the arctic down to the gulf of America! This is insane. Canada can’t become part of America! That’s the country I pretend to be from when I’m traveling abroad! Why does Trump want Canada so much? When he hears that Canadians “love pouring gravy on their poutine,” he knows they’re not talking about... You know... By the way, this isn’t the first time he mentioned this. He’s been tweeting about making Canada the 51st state for months now. Side note, I’m impressed that he currently knows there are 50 states. But surely Canada’s not going to just take this! Prime minister Trudeau, tell’ em no what’s up!
>> I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister. No
>> Desi: goddamn it. Goddamn it. Well, welcome to the United States, Canada. Locker rooms are over there, our wi-fi password is hawktuah-69-420, and you pay for healthcare now! No but no, Trudeau didn’t resign just to make it easier for Trump to take over Canada. The fact is, he resigned because he’s very unpopular now. No and if he ran again he’d have to face this guy, Pierre polievre. He’s the leader of the conservative party, and based on this interview, he’s a pretty intimidating dude. No
>> On the — on the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you’re obviously taking the populist no pathway.
>> What does that mean? No
>> Well, appealing, appealing to people’s more emotional levels, I would guess. I mean, certainly.
>> What do you mean by that? Give me an example.
>> Okay. A lot of people would, would say that you’re simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump book.
>> Like, which people would say that?
>> Well, I’m sure a great many Canadians, but —
>> Like who?
>> I don’t know who, but, well —
>> Well, you’re the one who asked the question. So how — you must know somebody.
>> Desi: goddamn, that’s a power move. I haven’t seen someone dominated like this since I watched “babygirl.” I’ll tell you what, America’s not getting Canada from him. “get on your knees, you’re our province now. Good girl.”
