Stuart who has a background in US foreign policy, the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict dives into Canadians being bullied into being forced to being US Citizens. He also touches on why US President Donald Trump feels the need to exert power and what his strategy as President is, Elon Musk wanting to weaken the US government like Trump, how taxes and social security benefits must go up and even the Israel-Palestine conflict. Peggy emphasizes the ballot question for the upcoming federal election being who is the best candidate to fight against Trump. She also highlights how Pierre Poilievre is changing his approach as he doesn't want to be compared to Trump.
