Vance BLASTS Canada—UN Admits They Are on Brink of COLLAPSE

But Canada has taken advantage of the United States of America for far too long.

Things are shifting, things are moving, and that is natural, especially at the point we are

in life. When you've seen all the lines that have lasted for a better part of 75 years,

without any type of transition or morphing or changing, well, those things are naturally going

to have to change. We've been talking about that with NATO this week. But a story I completely

missed a month ago came back to the top today. And that's the fact that the UN is on the verge

of financial collapse. They are sounding the bell and we're going to get into what that's all about

on top of the fact that JD Vance was in Michigan today. And he took the time to call out Canada

directly to treat the US fairly, let's get a deal done and let's act properly moving forward.

And well, it's natural, nothing new there. However, we're going to break down what he said in

his speech, what that means for us and how Canada should adapt. We're going to get into this

and so much more. Welcome to Elevate Report. I'm your host Josh for getting value from today's

episode. Take the time to like share and subscribe. It helps us to grow. It helps us to get to new

audiences and helps people see there is something different than what the main stream media has to

offer. And now let's go to our first story. Shall we? What have we been talking about for this year,

at this point? The theme has been globalism against nationalism. The Trump is making his bets,

the and the rest of the globalist leaders are making their bets. And Trump is well hedging those

bets. Trump committed that they were going to be done financing you the UN. And the talk was,

oh my gosh, that's scary because China slid in and became the number one contributor to the UN.

And the conversation then became, wow, if the US is going to recoil and going to pull itself back

from international agreements, that's just going to create a vacuum for the likes of China to take

over. I guess they deserve so. That's been the reaction from a lot of the Western leaders as,

oh, USA, you don't want to play ball anymore, you don't want to be our security anymore,

then we'll go to China. That's been the reaction hasn't had, has been the reaction of our Prime

Minister for goodness sakes. And so we're naturally beginning to see what the fallout of all that

is. So with the US backing out of the UN and not giving and not paying their dues, well,

this came out a month ago. UN says it's in danger of financial collapse because of unpaid dues.

The world body warned it would run out of money by July and have to close its New York headquarters

if countries, namely the United States, did not pay annual dues that amount to billions of dollars.

So let's give you the top 10 of, okay, top 10 finance contributors to the UN right now.

The United States comes up about 22%, $767 million. Second place is China at $691 million.

And then it has a steep drop off to Japan at 237 million, Germany down to 182, the UK at 128,

France at 124, Italy at 90, Canada at 81 million, South Korea at 75 million, and Australia at 65 million.

What to find the most intriguing about this about this chart is the countries that are the most

vocal about contributing to international bodies are some of the lowest contributors.

They seem to love the benefits of being a part of these groups, but not making the financial

sacrifice necessary for them to continue to operate. Give the likes of the United States a backing

out, then that's a pretty frail international body, isn't it? It's pretty frail. And that was the

argument we talked about in this show before was, okay, if US backs out, then China is going to fill

the gap. Okay, China, fill the gap, contribute. We'd like to see you contribute, keep investing your

amount, and then add in how much the US was contributing, and see how it goes. Oh wait, China can't do

that. So if Trump holds his ground and he likely will, UN is toast by July. And sorry, I haven't

actually mixed up my stories. For Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization, and China is

trying to backfill that. And so if Trump's going to pull out of the UN, will China backfill that?

I have a hard time believing that's going to happen. China likes to talk a tough game that they

can fill the boots of the United States, but they can't. They cannot do it. They do not have the

infrastructure necessary to do what the US does. US is trying to pull back to reassure what's

happening back at home. And China is looking to try and fill that back and fill the void. However,

they can't physically do that. That's what we're now learning because we'll guess what, China is

also impartial arrears with the UN. So not only is the US perfusing pay, also China is impartial

arrears with the UN. All the big governmental bodies that Trump is not seeing the value in,

well, China can't fill the gap either. So it's leaving one solution.

But by, but by indeed goes back to where I said at the top of the show, the global leaders are betting

on their international bodies that they've had and held for a long time. And Trump is making

the bet on nationalism and making the bet that USA is going to stand alone with people following

behind them versus them supporting all these international bodies and which puts the US at a bit

of a disadvantage. That's what we're watching right now. We'll see who wins those bets.

This is the representative from the UN talking about the fact that they are on the trajectory

of financial collapse. The Secretary General has, as you know, repeatedly made clear the problem

both of nonpayment of Jews by member states and the related problem of the UN being forced

to repay member states for budget expenses that it does not, that budget money that it does not

spend. So those two factors have put us on an unsustainable trajectory. Although

one more than 150 member states paid their Jews last year, we ended 2025 with a record 1.56 billion

dollars in outstanding Jews, which is more than double that of the previous year. So unless

either the payments come in or we're not compelled to spend, to return the money, the money is

that we are not able to spend because we didn't receive the budget. Unless one of those two things

happen, we face a real danger of running out of it. These are real danger of running out of cash.

And that is it, folks. Not so much the, and I don't share the story to kind of get people down.

I think it's just a huge sign that the times are changing. There's going to be a different way

of handling different alliances at this point. And I'm not going to be the person who's going to

shed a tearful likes with the UN or the WHO. I understand the initial role they were supposed to

play, but they don't play those roles very well anymore. It's become a bureaucracy that sucks

up cash and doesn't do a good job of handling the mandate they claim to be handling. So it was

only a matter of time before a brash individual says, K, I think we're done. And that's what we're

witnessing in real time. You have people that will lament the old world and wish that we could

come back. They don't realize how toxic it has all become. And it's time for new things to take

place. We think about our relationship with the United States. That's for one. It's time for Canada

to stand on stone two feet. It's time for Canada to take care of its own security. It's time for

Canada to shore up their borders. It's time for Canada to play a role on the world stage. That's

a little bit more than they've been used to playing in recent years. JD Vance was in Michigan,

Auburn Hills, talking about manufacturing. And the natural question about Canada had come up.

And this was how that went. Next question.

Hi, Remington Hernandez, news channel three in Kalamazoo. The Gordy Howe Bridge is not too far

from here. President Trump has made some comments about trade with Canada for manufacturers here in

Michigan. That bridge will be a lifeline of to get products over the border. Do you think that

the president has taken the right steps with Canada in regards to the bridge and do you think

that it should open on time? Well, the president's attitude to Canada is they are an important ally.

They're an important trading partner, especially for folks in this region of our country. But Canada

has taken advantage of the United States of America for far too long. And they've taken advantage of

the United States in a couple of different ways. Number one, they have allowed us to subsidize

their entire military, their entire security. Can the pays virtually nothing, at least until a

couple of years ago, for their own security, which means we had to foot the bill for that security.

Is that fair to you and your kids that you have to pay for the military of a foreign country?

No. So the president of the United States said to the Canadians, number one, you guys got to take

your own security more seriously. You're always going to be an ally. But why don't you have a

little bit more self-sufficiency? And I think that makes complete and total sense. The second

thing the president said is, if we're going to be true friends, you have to treat our workers as

fairly as we've treated Canadian workers for 40 years. Again, we have let so many people over the

entire time that I've been alive take advantage of the United States of America. The president said,

if you're going to apply a tariff to our goods, we're going to start applying a tariff to your goods

too. It's basic fairness. And that's what we've done and our hope with Canada, and I think we'll

get there eventually, is we're going to get to a point where Canada treats our workers fairly,

we treat their workers family, and they're going to be a true ally and a true friend,

not somebody who's taken advantage of us, which is what they've done for most of my life.

Here's the thing, is I liked how Vance dealt with this. It was just nice to have something that

was very clear. Trump has done things in very Trump ways, where he's like, well, this and then

that, in most cases, it is, could be all of it, but it just felt like it was disjointed in its

messaging, where JD Vance here was very clear. This is what we want to see. I think Trump has said

what he wanted to say about this. This is why I fall up and say that and repeat that mentality

and attitude. And there's some of that I do agree with, where yeah, how about we do be a good

ally? We revert back to the Don Terry clip from yesterday is America, the best thing we can do for

America as our friend and ally is to secure our own borders, be strong and not whims.

I don't think that's too much to ask. And that's what they're asking for here. Then anyway,

into the nuance of different tariffs and this, that the other, that's a different conversation.

Because yes, I'm sure there's definitely going to be some push and some pull of what is

makes sense from a trade perspective with the United States. But you know, the point that Paul

brought up and it's something that you have to keep in mind too is, yeah, the US has brought up

with the issues that they have. The thing that they don't bring up very often is how cheap they

get our oil for and they refine and sell back to us for a premium price. That's an issue I have

as a Canadian. If we want to talk about unfairness, well, yes, there's going to be some sectors that

are unfair for sure, but there's also some lack of fairness in other parts of that trade relationship

too. At some point, it's got to equal out. I don't think it equals out now. We do receive a lot

of benefits, but I think that 100% was going to have to be taken to account where they get our oil

at an insane discount. They refine and sell back to us at a premium price. We get some of that auto

industry and again, I am not in the rooms where we're looking at the nuance and details of all those

trade of all that trade. However, I just think that it goes both ways. I'm not just going to sit

here and say, oh, yeah, United States is right on everything. No, no, no. United States is very

valid to voice how they feel and what they want to see done. And I think Canada is equally as valid

to address some of the issues that we are seeing as well. However, I do agree that the United

States expectation of us taking care of our borders, not relying on them solely for our military,

we need to have a good functioning military ourselves. We need to have a good functioning

way of handling our borders so we can actually take care of the paragraph, paragraph,

paraphernalia that comes in here. We deal with the organized crime. We institute laws so we can

lock down on money laundering in our country and every other crime that happens. Those are good

things for us to do for ourselves. And those are things that one of our greatest allies or our

greatest ally is asking us to do. I think that's very, very fair. And I think he sets the tone here.

And it would be nice if we had a government here in Canada that seemed to take this relationship

seriously, but they don't unfortunately. That's why it's nice to see here, Pauli, I've gone

south of the border trying to make those connections because I think it's desperately, desperately needed

at this point. Yeah, today we had the Bank of Canada announce what they're expecting to happen in

the future. Tiff Macklin pretty much said today that we're expecting further weakening in our

economy. It's going to lead to more job losses. We're going to have a tough time here. We're

not going to play the clip, but I just want to kind of drop this news that they announced the

the rate decision today and they decide to hold this, hold the interest rate. But Tiff Macklin was

just saying, yeah, we have to hold it because if we increase it, we're going to crush people

and the already difficult issue of increasing prices. But if we decrease it, well, we're going to

skyrocket inflation. So we're kind of rocking a hard place and it doesn't look like it's going

to get better anytime soon. That's what Tiff Macklin had to say today. Nothing new for the

Canadian who's paying attention, but alas, as I said, we're going to see pain. We're going to see

some pain here and that pain is going to be felt not just by conservative voters, not just by

Paulie of supporters. It's going to be felt by carney voters. It's going to be felt by liberal

voters, liberal supporters. Everybody is going to feel it in a variety of different ways, but more

pain has got to come. Unfortunately, for people that realize, oh, Mark Carney's been lying to me the

whole time and nothing's getting done. He's doing a lot of smoke and mirrors, but not a whole lot

of tangible solutions that's helping our economy to grow right now. That was further cemented today

by Tiff Macklin, the Bank of Canada's announcement around our interest rates. What's in our

positive note? This happened yesterday. We've probably heard the story already, but it's a fun one

to end off on. So we had another intrusion in Ontario, the homeowner. Let's say it just

say took care of business and left one of the intruders maimed with a firearm and the result of all

this was. A suspect is recovering in hospital after being shot by a resident during a home invasion

in Vaughn. He's sharing footage of the incident at a home on Carville Wood Circle shortly before

one o'clock this morning. We say after the break in, a resident accessed a legally owned and

properly stored firearm and shot at the suspects who got away in a black pickup truck. Well, not

long after a person was dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound, they're now facing charges

in connection with the home invasion. Three suspects are outstanding. And here's the thing.

The news came and dropped that police are not charging the homeowner. They're not. It was a

legal use of their firearm. This was encouraging news because what we're seeing and what we have

seen is that the police are just like, all right, we'll just charge the person, use the firearm,

throw it to the justice system. I don't want to deal with it. It's typically how it's gone. But

in this case, they said, good on you. Good job. However, they did follow up with this press conference

where they did say the exact same BS we hear from police departments here these days about

our justice system and how everything works. But we'll play it out and I'll tell you my take on

what I'm seeing right now. We recognize that in situations involving armed intruders,

the immediate threat to life is paramount. As every situation is unique, no one piece of advice

hits all circumstances. Your first priority is to safeguard yourself and your family.

This includes taking steps to seek a secure location and calling 911 immediately.

The criminal code allows for every person to use reasonable force to protect themselves

and their family, only the necessary. They kind of had to do this. But what I'm understanding by

this decision by this particular police department is they're tired. We've talked about this for

is our police are completely and utterly demoralized. It was already tough going into 2020.

Then all this stuff happened in 2020 and I'll define the police BS that took place and

you know, and there's still remnants of that here and there. But that was a start of a lot of

good officers just getting demoralized and leaving the force altogether. And then when you

all the good officers leave, then you're left with a bunch of bad officers, aren't you?

And so what happens happened because our justice system is a bit of a mess. These police officers

would arrest individuals and have committed repeated crimes. And then they just get led out

the next day. And it gets to a point where it's like as a police officer is like, why am I going

through that doing all the paperwork? If there's going to be a release the next day and it's useless.

And I have a feeling that mentality is now boiled over to this where they're saying, yeah,

we can't really do anything. Our hands are tied. Nothing ever gets done. People don't stay behind

bars. And then you know what? We're not going to waste our time dealing with the paperwork of

a potential charge of someone using their firearm in their home to fend off home invaders.

I'm getting the vibe that we might see more of this across the country.

The police are like, if we can't do anything, well, people can take care of themselves.

And we're just going to say, didn't see anything. So we'll see what happens.

But anyway, so I'll leave it there. Have yourselves a good one.

Armour.
