Pierre Poilievre

Pierre Poliev, leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition.

There is so much I want to talk to you about.

I think you have a truly fascinating formative childhood, one of which I've really seldom seen on this show, especially when the person rises so high in their political ambitions.

But I think the most appropriate thing to start with, because it's just front of mind for me at the moment, is what the hell is going on in the world?

And I mean, that's genuinely, I'm up all night trying to figure out if we're on the verge of World War III, what's going on with all these alliances we used to have.

What is going on in the world?

It appears that the United States have made the decision to kind of go it alone in the world.

I mean, I was at Davos and I saw what Trump said.

I saw a variety of things in the lead up to that talking about taking Greenland, turning Canada into one of the United States' 51st states.

Is that what he said?

51st state?

That's never going to happen.

It seems to be very adversarial.

And through my childhood and through my adulthood over the last 30 years, the U.S.

has always been the strong ally, not an individualistic, isolated force in the world.

What's going on here?

You can see it here.

What's interesting when I look at these vials of oil that we have on the table, and I see that Venezuela is number one, Saudi Arabia is number two, Iran, Canada, Iraq, and then the U.S., is a lot of these countries that have a lot of oil are in conflict with the United States right now.

And now, as I look at this, it seems like I understand why.

So Venezuela, I mean, Trump just flew in and took the leader of Venezuela and his wife out of bed and seized the country.
