Don't Mess With Carney!

Got a letter: 

Allan: Is it true that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney got together with leaders from Europe and Japan who collectively held 4-5 trillion worth of US Treasury bonds... and sold them... which forced the rising interest on US debt?

At this point, Scott Young jumped in:

Close but not quite.

Carney is the leading element in this effort but they are not selling off all the bonds, just enough to raise the rates on their other bond holdings. 

The US will have to pay more on their debt and the countries that Trump is attacking will make more money. 

It is brilliant, sneaky and completely successful. 

Trump is backing down, pausing tariffs and stumbling in panic.

Carney is a PhD in Economics from fucking Oxford, is the first person in modern history to have run TWO G7 national banks.

He's winning at chess while Trump is losing at Tic-Tac-Toe.

This is why Carney is good for Canada!



It's not often you see Stewart face off against a politician who's an intellectual equal and just as appealing. That was fantastic.

You know what I like about Mark Carney after this interview? Unlike some politicians that abruptly intervene when a question is asked or when answer in a rude manner, Carney actually takes a minute to sit back and interpret what he is asked and eventually answers the question to the best of his knowledge. I think he has a real potential to lead the LP.

Just rewatched this. Since then, Mr. Carney became the leader of the Liberal party and took over the role of PM and called an election for late April. Honestly, I am even more impressed with this interview now. He has also lead admirably as PM in this short time. He is the intelligent and calm adult in the room. We are so lucky to have him! He has my vote and I hope he will serve Canada well into the bright future.

Mark, you are exactly what we need in Canada!!! I'm voting for you in the leadership and for Canada!

I have watched this many times. Mark is a serious politician who is not prone to talking points and slogans. He is pragmatic and it shows. I like watching the show because he is also witty and refreshing sharp.

Lovely to see a well-spoken intelligent person now leading Canada in these times. Calm, measured, determined. Elbows up!

I loved it when our new PM Mark Carney (who did run for Liberal Leadership, and won) could go toe-to-toe with Joh Steward, which is no easy thing to do! Bravo PM Carney, you're Canada's new hope! Amazing... 💪🇨🇦

Mark Carney, yes, you make so much sense and I love the fact that Mark, he is not a politician; it's super refreshing! Its nice to see Mark as Canada's next Leader, who actually is a highly educated man! Mark Bachelor Degree in economics, Harvard University, Master's degree Oxford University, a earned a doctoral degree! Love his sense of humor, and his confidence!

I haven’t seen this till today. I didn’t realize Mark Carney has such a great sense of humour. I sure hope he wins the election and remains Canada’s PM. He’s so smart, but now I like him for his sense of humour. Great interview. The two of you together have great energy.

Mr. Carney appears to be the best for Canada! This interview was incredibly interesting due to the use of the relationship metaphor. Not only was it funny but easily informative and easy to understand. Excellent job!

Carney is not only CHARMING but extremely savvy… lucky Canada! Sending them all the best!!♥️

This aged sooooooo well!!! I'm very happy he is the Prime Minister for Canada

That's a real leader! 🇨🇦 The Banker versus The Bankrupt. He didn't just get out of therapy, Jon. He IS the therapist. We love you, America. We just don't want to be you!

Hi from Quebec, learning to know our new PM. I like him, hope he will stand strong to Trump.

Carney is like many Canadian I know of; humble, self-respecting, confidence, and standing firm when being pushed. Could be great leader at this challenging tine

The video that made Mark Carney Prime Minister.

Mark Carney is the most impressive mind. I have discovered in the recent couple of months. He is refreshingly direct, knowledgeable, pragmatic, and I hope the people of Canada are fortunate enough to have him lead their country.

Every time I watch this interview I am in awe of how well informed Jon Stewart is. Plus his ability to mix humour with very intelligent questions.

I love that so many American talk shows are paying attention to Canadian politics and learning about us! We Canadians know so much more about the United States than what you know about us. Thanks for having us!! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Those of us that still have our sanity in the States don't want Canada. We love having our awesome neighbours to the north. We're honoured to have Canada as a neighbour and ally. See, I even spelled those words with a "u."

Hi! I'm Canadian and just finished watching this interview and was blown away by Mark Carney's wit and calm demeanour as Jon threw humorous questions at him left, right and centre. 👏 I didn't know all that much about him before this video (which I watched twice in a row, btw) and laughed all the way through! The Liberal Party of Canada just got back my vote tonight.

Watching this after Carney took leadership. I have never been so proud to be Canadian.

Great show Guys! Vermonter here, I wish we had Mark Carney as our President!

Im Swedish, not that's its significant in these matters. But honestly this is one of the best interviews I've ever seen with a politician. So smart and so humourous! I honestly think the world would be a better place if we had more people like him 🎉🙏🏻👍🏻 Canada, 90% of Europe is having your back🇨🇦

Great show. Great couple. Great happy ending. Mark Carney won the Liberal Leadership race this past Sunday, Mar 9.🎉

He's the man! He has knowledge, intelligence, diplomacy and class. His background, education and accomplishments are impressive. The other parties are trying to bash him about his holdings. He had a life before being elected; he was successful. They are just jealous. I wish he stays for 2 mandates.
