[00:27:40] Speaker B: Social media reaction late into the evening Donald Trump. [00:28:10] Speaker A: Donald Trump Tough negotiation Mark Carney Janani Apnea Co. The headquarters in New York City Move Karte San so conservatives as compared to Pierre Polyev Donald Trump Karan it will be easier to deal with liberals who's running stupidly he's no friend of mine Donald Trump I think the biggest problem is he's not a MAGA guy as an opportunity and he wore it on his sleeve. Yes, yes. I'm not a mega guy. I'm a Canada first guy. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Videos social media Donald Trump Exactly. Side by side so conservatives association that he's Not a mega guy.

Friendly debate Liberal Party members Debate leaders debate Mark Carney Performance. [00:34:16] Speaker A: Political experience, private sector experience. [00:34:22] Speaker B: Right.

Although it's almost like to see this incentivize to see ISTI to see promote. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Underlying sentiment India factory the Malaka. I think it's the reason it's more from the political side of things Election campaign Earlier this week it was very clear he was at a loss for words. He's the Prime Minister of the country right now. Scoring point. So debate. [00:39:12] Speaker A: Mark Carney. There's so many things you could attack him on. Number eight. This could be issue number four, five, six in the list. [00:39:33] Speaker B: Maybe. Yes. [00:39:36] Speaker A: Line of attack. Those should be directly Canadians Conservatives like combination Banya a Conservative leader arms Canadian the Galkaria.
