Will the Blue Jays Win the World Series?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I hope not. Seriously, I really hope not. And it's
nothing against Canada, the land of my birth. It's certainly
nothing against the Toronto Blue Jays. They were my favorite
team growing up. But I always liked the Blue Jays,
and of course they won the World Series twice in
nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety three, so the Blue

(00:22):
Jays winning the World Series again this year would not
be unprecedented. However, I do not want the Blue Jays
to win it this year against the Los Angeles Dodgers,
and I'll tell you why, because the left wing, anti American,
anti Trump Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, who to

(00:42):
me is a joke, an embarrassment, and a disaster, has
politicized the World Series, turning it not from Toronto versus La,
or even Canada versus the United States, but literally his
liberal regime against Donald True. First of all, it's an
absolutely stupid analogy. There's nothing pro liberal about the Toronto

(01:09):
Blue Jays or their players. Most of them are not Canadians. Hell,
many of them are not even American players. And obviously
you've got a lot of very good Japanese players who
play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Oatani and Yamamoto, they're
great pitcher and they're great hitter, being the two most
obvious examples. So what he's doing is he is trying

(01:32):
to politicize a World Series championship that has nothing to
do with politics, because he's losing the trade war with Trump,
and so again he's trying to exploit latent Canadian nationalism
foment anti americanism, foment even more hatred against Donald Trump

(01:56):
over a lousy baseball series. Even if Toronto wins the
World Series, And as I speak to you now on Thursday,
October thirtieth at about ooh ten fifty eight am, they
are now up three games to two. They won last
night six to one. The Dodgers are clearly on the

(02:16):
ropes and they're heading back to Toronto for Game six
and if necessary, game seven. So clearly Toronto could easily
win the World Series. I am hoping that the Dodgers
pull off Game six with their ace, and then in
a Game seven, Toronto breaks under the pressure and the

(02:37):
Dodgers repeat as champions. Not because I love the Dodgers,
but because I hate what Mark Carney has done by
politicizing this World Series by politicizing the Toronto Blue Jays
and by trying to turn it into somehow a referendum
on Donald Trump. Even if Toronto wins, how will this

(03:00):
improve the lot of ordinary Canadians? Zero? How will it
improve their trade negotiations with Trump? Zero? How will it
improve the standard of living that the Liberals, first under
his predecessor Trudeau, and now him, have devastated and destroyed
in Canada. Zero. I hate to say it, but someone

(03:24):
has to say it. What Carneie is doing regarding the
World Series is akin to what many third world countries do,
say Brazil, Argentina. I can give you other examples when
it comes to soccer at the World Cup. It's almost
like a nationalist substitute for their failures as countries and societies.

(03:48):
No matter how many World Cups Brazil has won, no
matter how many World Cups Argentina has won, they're still
third world failed states. And that's the same problem now
with Canada. They can win hockey tournaments against the United States,
they can win this World Series. Carne is still a loser.

(04:12):
A loser is a loser, is a loser, and so
win or lose, it makes no difference to the average Canadian.
They're still going to get poorer and poorer and poorer.
But the propaganda value, that's what Carne wants, and that's
what I want to deny him. So I never thought

(04:35):
I would be saying this, but go Dodgers, Go
