Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hoekstra

Don't call it a done deal until it's done, but America's ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, tells Brian this week that negotiations between Ottawa and President Donald Trump's administration are making progress. He explains why he believes things are moving quickly in the right direction to settle the trade war between our two countries. Hoekstra also talks about why he's looking forward to the next phase of the longstanding bilateral relationship, when he thinks Canada and the U.S. will work harmoniously and productively again, allied in eliminating the fentanyl scourge from both countries and building the two strongest economies in the industrialized world — although he still thinks Canada will be eating America's dust.

There's an air of excitement in Ottawa as it prepares for King Charles III to arrive and deliver the speech from the throne, which lays out the Liberal government's plan and priorities. His visit is also widely seen as pushback against U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to turn Canada into the 51st state. But according to the new U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, that saga is over and Canada should move on. He sits with Catherine Cullent to discuss that and the next steps in the Canada-U.S. relationship.Plus, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Canada of emboldening Hamas, a Middle East expert joins The House to talk about if there's been a shift in Canadian-Israeli relations. Then, a constitutional expert, a royal watcher, an Indigenous leader and members of Quebec's sovereignty parties talk about what message King Charles' speech will send to Trump — or whether the whole thing ultimately means nothing to the U.S. president.Finally, the parliamentary bureau chief of the National Post and the Ottawa bureau chief of La Presse explain what to look for in the government's to-do list.This episode features the voices of:Pete Hoekstra, U.S. ambassador to CanadaThomas Juneau, University of Ottawa political science professorPatricia Treble, royal watcherPhilippe Lagassé, Carleton University political science professorPerry Bellegarde, former national chief of the Assembly of First NationsPascal Bérubé, Parti Québécois MNACatherine Gentilcore, Parti Québécois MNARuba Ghazal, Québec solidaire MNAStuart Thomson, National Post parliamentary bureau chiefJoel-Denis Bellavance, La Presse Ottawa bureau chief

Is it “outrageous” to ban American products on Canadian shelves in response to Trump's annexation fixation? Well, the orange guy in the White House has another marionette's strings to pull in Pete Hoekstra, the new American Ambassador to Canada, who made these statements in a recent interview. The United States has “never done anything like that to Canada”, he says. (Pause for eye roll.) Let's talk about these and some other appalling comments the US Ambassador to Canada has said regarding the Trump tariffs. Is Pete Hoekstra gaslighting us? Let's remember how we got here in the first place, Pete… This isn't the first time that America has happily twisted history, and it won't be the last. (PS: I had to mute a lot of cussing in this one. Sorry.)In Episode 145 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, host Bill Kelly discusses the recent appointment of Pete Hoekstra as the American ambassador to Canada. Bill expresses concern over Hoekstra's alignment with Trump administration policies, particularly regarding trade and tariffs. He highlights the impact of these policies on Canadian industries and the government's response, including looking for alternative trade partners. The conversation also touches on historical misrepresentations of Canada's contributions in global events and emphasizes the need for Canada to assert its sovereignty in international relations.Become a YouTube channel member to hear Bill's stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

Tony and Kyle discussed the political landscape in Michigan, focusing on the upcoming elections in 2025 and the potential legal challenges to new laws. They analyzed the reasons behind the flip in Michigan, attributing it to the Democrats' failure to effectively compete against both Donald Trump and the Republicans, and looked ahead to the upcoming chair elections for both parties. The conversation also touched on the potential cooperation between the new Republican Speaker of the House Matt Hall and Democratic Governor Whitmer, and the implications for future political runs. • Pete Hoekstra to assume role as Ambassador to Canada. • Republican Party to elect new chair at February 21, 2025 convention. • Democratic Party to elect new chair at February 21 or 22, 2025 convention. • Governor Whitmer to potentially begin making appearances in Iowa and New Hampshire for future presidential election considerations. • Governor Whitmer and Republican Speaker Matt Hall to establish working relationship and negotiate on legislative priorities. • Senate Majority Leader to present legislative agenda for consideration by the House and Governor.

The conversation was expected to cover significant events and decisions from the previous year, with a focus on the return of Donald Trump and the Democrats' perceived failure. Disconnect Between Politicians and Voters Tony and Kyle discussed the outcome of the last political season, focusing on the disconnect between the politicians' goals and the voters' desires. Kyle suggested that Democrats failed to connect with voters by not tailoring their message to specific regions and not addressing the needs of men, particularly black men. Kyle concluded that Democrats didn't do badly overall, but they didn't win on the margins in some areas. Tony agreed with Kyle's analysis and suggested that a different strategy might have been more effective for the Democrats.
