doug ford and maybe canadians are watching this.history and a an interesting path to his role in government right now but is seen as a leading strong voice on this, which anybody who followed his career he was a city counselor in toronto and famously a brother to the crack smoking mayor and his past, now a two-term premier in the province of ontario and he came out to be a leading voice to say we need to hit back and perhaps the threat is being walked back a bit and some of the premieres don't agree with that strategy. and the concern is it -- it would be such a devastating thing if the tariffs hit. >> does justin trudeau survive this ? and if not who would be likely to replace them? >> the political turmoil is unlike anything trudeau has had to deal with. his finance minister his deputy prime minister quit largely over a dispute on how to face those tariffs from donald trump which is how significant these threats are and there is political turmoil of whether she would be shuffled out of one of the positions and be told to announce

earlier this month on power lunch the premiere of ontario, doug ford said he would cut off energy exportsthe united states if necessary. now to discuss her thoughts, danielle smith the leader of canada's united conservative party. it is great of you to join us today. first of all i note that when you talk about cutting off energy exports, alberta exports more than $127 billion, that would be 56% of all of the oil that the united states imports double that from mexico, saudi arabia, or iran if you were to combine all of that. when you look at that amount is that even realistic to cut off say alberta's energy e ports? >> i certainly don't think it is nor do i think it would make us a good neighbor. i have a difference of opinion with my ontario counterpart. we know how important it is for american energy dom nance that we are able to be a partner in that. the americans have -- you have seen the increase of your production and exports to 13 million-barrels a day but america still uses 20 million- barrels a day. we are able to provide a lot which keeps the price of gas low. we have been told

doug ford suggested he will cut off energy shipments to the u.s. if the president-elect imposes such sweeping tariffs. i asked mr. trump what his response would be. >> that's okay. that's fine. the united states is sub sid -- subsidizing them. >> afterwards. the president went to speak with the head of floor trading for citadel securities. pete presented him with a jacket and told him he was one of the greatest capitalists this country has seen. this is emblematic of the reception he got. 27 years on the floor. you have been here a long time. i have seen kings and queens and rock stars. this was extremely warm. i would describe it as rapturous. he brought most of his proposed cabinet along. j.d. vance was greeted like a rock star. scott bessent. >> it just doesn't happen that often. maybe we take that for granted. we think that every president ultimately makes their way through here. there's a picture around the corner, famously, of reagan here in the '80s. the crowd that was so large gathered beneen ath him. this was one of the rare and extraordin

joining us now to discuss is doug ford, the premiere of ontario and leader of -- i did not know thissive conservative party. what does that mean? >> we are pcs. i'm a staunch fiscal conservative. i believe in putting money back into people's pockets, tax breaks. we have never raised a tax in the last 6 1/2 years, put a tax on. we reduced taxes by $8 billion. off the backs of companies to make ourselves more competitive. we reduced taxes for people, too. very simple theory. you put money into people's pockets, and they will stir the economy. i believe what president trump is going to do by reducing taxes, that's what stimulates economy. when you reduce taxes on businesses, they reinvest into technology, into the people and the infrastructure. that's what we are doing in ontario. >> prime minister trudeau took a trip to mar-a-lago to try to explain to president-elect trump the daniel mage if we put tarif canada. is there a better case to be made? should the tongue in cheek comment that canada should become the 51st state if it doesn't want tariffs have truth to it? >> when it comes to

ontario premier doug ford says he is not optimistic the u.s. can avoid the tariffs, despite the recent meeting between prime minister justin trudeau and trump in florida. canada provides the u.s. with about 60% of its crude oil imports, and is a major exporter of electricity to new york, michigan and minnesota. >> in a rare move, fbi director christopher wray plans to resign next month when president biden's term in office comes to an end. wray is in his seventh year of a ten year term, but with the incoming administration, he was faced with two options he could leave or wait until president elect donald trump fired him. trump has announced his intention to nominate ardent supporter kash patel as the next fbi director. wray says stepping down is the right thing for the bureau. >> my goal is to keep the focus on our mission, on the indispensable work each of you is doing every single day. and in my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important in how

tonight, ontario premier doug ford, he is calling for his country to use every tool in our toolbox. a direct quote including cutting off canadian energy to the united states. if trump follows through with his threat warning, quote, the americans are going to feel the pain as well. premier ford is out front with me tonight. and, premier, i appreciate your time and i want to just start here with your proposal itself. what exactly does cutting off canadian energy to the united states look like? >> well, first of all, aaron, thanks for having me on. >> you know, that's the last thing i want to do. i want to sell more electricity, more power to our u.s. friends and closest allies in the world. but that's a tool that we have in our toolbox. we power over 1.5 million homes. and in michigan and companies in michigan and new york state and wisconsin, that's the last thing i want to do. i want to sell more energy to the u.s. i want to sell more critical minerals to the u.s. again, we are the closest trading partner, closest allies. we do $1.3 trillion of two way trade. that's more than japan,

and we need to be prepared canadian premier doug ford added that americans would also feel the pain. >> cnn's paula newton is here with more details. paula, how serious are these threats from canada i mean, they're serious, but you have to keep in mind, boris, look, he's the premier of ontario. >> anything like that would have to be approved by the prime minister himself. having said that, that look, the war of words has started. is that going to lead to a trade war? everyone here in canada is, in fact, prepared for a 25% tariff on many, many things, if not all, exports to the united states. and the prime minister himself. trudeau has been categorical that would be devastating for the canadian economy. but what does it mean? you know, for americans and the whole energy system? i want you to look at some facts. even though premier ford there he was talking about electricity specifically. but if we talk about electricity, we're talking about 84% of all the electricity that the u.s. imports come from canada. but again, boris, it's only about 1% of consumption. when we talk about oil. su

calling him governor trudeau in a social media post, but all eyes turns to the province of ontario and doug fordey're throwing down the gauntlet on the alcohol front because it would make the export of alcohol from the u.s. complicated and much more expensive but more importantly there's this electricity piece, ontario delivers electricity to about 1.5 million homes in the united states and suggesting maybe they would consider cutting that off. you know, this is -- when people talk about the tariffs and the uncertainty the tariffs could create, it's -- it wasn't just the cost of the tariffs, it's the retaliation and this is an example of the kind of thing that could happen and, therefore, a kind of different leverage points you think either the u.s. has or in this case canada may have. i think we're going to see a lot more of this. is this all a lot of talk and bluster or is this real? i think everybody is waiting to see how real it very much is for president-elect trump and how real it is in some of these both countries and now provinces and what kind of political support there would be for tho
