‘Sounds Like a Promotional Stunt’: Tyrus Rips Kevin O’Leary On The Five For Claiming Canadians Want to Merge With the U.S.
Fox News co-host and professional wrestler Tyrus criticized businessman and Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary on Friday’s edition of The Five over an idea to merge Canada and the US.
On Thursday, O’Leary responded to trolling from President-elect Donald Trump during a hit on Fox Business Network. Trump recently referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of Canada and urged hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to replace him as PM.
The comment was made after Trump first threatened his country with steep tariffs.
O’Leary went a step further and proposed an idea wherein Canada and the US would essentially merge. He said he believed as many as half of Canadians would support such a union.
“Think about the power of combining the two economies, erasing the border between Canada and the United States and putting all that resource up to the northern borders where China and Russia are knocking on the door,” he said. “I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested.”
O’Leary added he would personally meet with Trump to talk seriously with him about the idea.
On The Five, co-host Jessica Tarlov asked Tyrus Friday evening for his take on O’Leary’s remarks. Tyrus responded:
I think both of his watches are broken. Like, okay, there’s no 50 percent of Canadians willing to give up Canada? I mean, that’s their country. They’d be like 50 percent of Americans being like, yeah, we want to join the other side. It’s almost sounds like a promotional stunt for a TV show. I think there I think the Canadian government is paying attention because President Trump has put in tariffs. He’s trolling them. He’s having a good time with it and maybe Mr. Wonderful is trying to get in on it.
But 50 percent? I’d love to see the poll. But, you know, it’s just it goes back to what this administration is trying to do is not a laughing matter. President Trump is putting his foot down and he’s using tariffs to get them to come to the table. I think there’s a huge conservative presence in Canada, but we haven’t seen him for a long time. And let’s be honest. If Canada became a country that will play along with this game, okay, it would be they’re one of the most liberal countries, which means the two Senate seats that they would have would make Jessica’s because they would both be liberal and we would lose the Senate. So thank you. No, we’re good. Okay. No deal, ss they would say in Guppy Tank or Shark Tank or whatever it is.
