New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Trump at the White House, where Trump joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state. Carney, a former central banker, maintained a resolute stance on Canadian sovereignty while discussing trade and tariffs. The meeting highlighted the "Defense as a Service" model Trump applies to international relations.

A discussion on Canadian consumer habits notes that liquor stores are government-controlled, allowing for easy boycotts of American products.

Canadian Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland is criticized for claiming a four-year-old girl asked her to stop Donald Trump from invading Canada.

The hosts dismiss her rhetoric as fear-mongering propaganda.

The hosts debate the merits of making Canada the 51st state, ultimately concluding that the cultural differences are too great. They argue that while Americans are "tough guys" born of revolution, Canadians have a culture rooted in "complaining," which would be an undesirable addition to the Union.
